Bare Escentual Ready The Afterparty 4.0

I got Ready Afterparty quad during the Sephora VIB sale. It is a really nice quad. I didn't think I would like the purple colour in this palette but I love it. You can do a smoky eye or something more subtle with this palette. I decided to do the night look that comes in the box and then two other looks. These shadows blend really easily so getting a nice smoky eye is effortless with this palette. The lightest colour is not quite white and looks similar to the silver, but overall this is a very nice palette.

Not Exactly Drop Red Gorgeous

I saw Drop Red Gorgeous in a boutique when it first came out and I was really tempted to get it (the eye shadows are really pretty), but I am trying to save my money for the BE December F&F sale and for other kits I want more. So in an attempt to talk myself out of buying it (at least until it goes on sale) I decided to re-create the look with colours I already have.
Doing this look also gave me a chance to wear Tarte Swank without blotting it.

Tarte Lip Service Lipsurgence Collection, a new mascara and 5 Looks

One of the things I got at the Sephora Friends and Family Sale was the Tarte Lip Service Lipsurgence Collection. This is a really great way to try the lipsurgence products. The collection is $29 for 5 very wearable colours (they usually sell for $24 each). I really like this set. I found all the colours to be wearble including Swank which I thought would just be too red for me. Swank can be a dark red if you apply multiple layers but I blotted it twice and it looks like a nice mellow cherry lip. Glitzy is a really nice sparkly neutral. On me it just enhances the colour of my lips. Perky is a medium to light pink that is similar to Charmed. Flashy is a bright pink with silver sparkle, it makes a nice bold lip and is a good alternative to red. Dazzled was the surprise in this group. I thought it was going to be peach or bright or something but it is a really nice sheer natural colour with a lot of pink in it. I think it might be my favorite from this set.

I also bought Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara. I was interested in the brush that is pear shaped. I like this mascara. It seperates your lashes well and give you natural full looking lashes. The shape of the brush makes it a little hard to manuver and I poked myself in the eye a couple of times. I think I still perefer the Falsies Flared or regular mascara if you want a good drugstore brand.
