It's officially spring! I can't believe it! And to celebrate, I thought it would be fitting to talk about a the the "Flower Shop" Bath & Body Works candle. I don't know how Bath & Body Works does it but they their candles are magic. I have a million different scents for the fall/winter months but "Flower Shop" is one of only two scents that I use during the spring/summer. </div>

"Flower Shop" smells exactly like a flower shop. I know that sounds redundant--my sister would agree. But it smells like an <i>actual </i>flower. There is a difference between the scent of a real flower and an artificial flower smell. But somehow Bath & Body Works managed to capture that fresh and lively element. I don't know how they do it. But its amazing. It captures "the delightful scent of fresh-cut spring flowers--sweet lilac, pink freesia and hyacinth layered with cooling greens". </div>

I love this scent but its one of those candles that doesn't smell as great when burned. I don't know what it is but I don't like to burn it very often. It just doesn't smell the same. Although the smell is strong enough that it will fill a small, enclosed space like a bathroom or closet. And that's where I like to keep this guy. It makes me a little sad that I don't get to burn the candle. This is the first candle from Bath and Body Works that I just don't think I'm going to make it through. It'll be sitting in my bathroom, making it smell good, for the next forty years. That's some insane bang for your buck. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The "Snow Fairy" shower gel is one of LUSH's best selling Christmas goodies. And its not hard to see why. The LUSH website describes this shower gel as the perfect addition to anyone's bathroom--"candyfloss pink...with a sweet, magical scent of soothing and
comforting vanilla, the flecks of blue glitter leave you shimmering."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LUSH soaps sometimes get a bad reputation for not lathering well but this--I'm glad to say--is not the case with "Snow Fairy". It only takes a nickel size dollop to clean my whole body and it lathers as well as traditional shower gel. It normally retails for $9.95 for the smaller 3.3 fl oz bottle (the one pitctured above) or $28.95 for the larger 16.9 fl oz bottle. Which...is...crazy. I could never imagine spending thirty dollars on a <i>shower gel</i>. The only reason I bought "Snow Fairy" was because it smelled fantastic and it was half-off. But in the days since I've been using this shower gel (my first from LUSH) I haven't noticed a big discrepancy in quality between LUSH and other brands. </div>

I included this pictures because I thought that the instructions were very helpful. "Get naked, hop in the shower and lather up." Good to know. Also, fun fact. The sparkles in the shower gel are completely biodegradable. I love using this stuff--it feels luxurious and girly--but I won't be repurchasing any time soon. I think that it's <i>a lot </i>to spend on shower gel and I think that my shower gel from Bath & Body Works works just as well. </div>

This Christmas my sister went above and beyond when it came to presents. If you saw my LUSH haul from last week (click here if we haven't seen it) then you will know that she got me some LUSH goodies for Christmas but she also surprised me with a MAC lipstick that I've been talking about for what seems like ages.Whenever we went to the MAC counter I would always talk about how much I loved the shade and she, being the fantastic sister that she is, remembered and went out to pick it up for me. And, what made the gesture even better, she got the lipstick by trading in all of her empty MAC packaging through the Back to MAC program. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that she doesn't get to buy a lot of MAC products (even though she loves to stop by the counter and ogle) and it really meant a lot that she was willing to sacrifice her chance to get a new lipstick for herself and instead got something for me. So, in case you're reading this Jenn, thank you. I love all of my gifts. You really knocked it out of the park. And now, enough blabbering. Onto the review!</div>

MAC "Syrup" is the prefect everyday, pinky-nude lipstick. I have been reaching for this shade over and over again since I first opened it up on Christmas morning. Even my parents--who ironically gave birth to two makeup junkies but don't really don't like makeup--are fans of this shade. It first caught my attention when Allison (<span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://youtube.com/amarixe">youtube.com/amarixe</a></span>) talked about this shade a while ago in one of her videos. It isn't a shade that, I think, a lot of people know about because its such an understated shade. But it truly is lovely and I highly recommend that you check it out the next time you visit a MAC counter. </div>

Here is the color applied to the lips. As you can see its a lovely your-lips-but-better shade. It reminds me a little bit of the <a href="http://vivalafashiongirl.blogspot.com/2013/11/maybelline-warm-me-up-color-sensational.html">Maybelline "Warm Me Up"</a> lipstick but "Syrup" is less nude and more pink. Like all MAC lipsticks, it retails for $15.00 and you get 3 grams (or .1 fl oz). It is a pricey lipstick but it goes on incredibly smoothly, with that familiar vanilla scent, and the beautiful lustre finish. </div>

It's haul time! Woohoo! I know that New Year's was a week ago but I'm finally getting around to posting this LUSH haul today. Oops. But I hope you will forgive me. As you can see from the photo above, I got a lot of stuff. Well, a lot of stuff for LUSH because everything is so pricey! But thankfully, my wonderful little sister picked up the Snow Fairy Cone filled with goodies. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what the tag of the gift set looks like. Isn't it adorable. LUSH is pricey but their packaging is flawless. You can also see the price tag in the background. This gift set traditionally retails for $22.95 but (until supplies run out) LUSH is having a Buy One, Get One Free sale on all their Christmas stuff. My local LUSH store still had three of these in stock so I recommend stopping by your LUSH to see what they have. I mean the deal is insane. So, because of the sale, this gift set only cost about $12 which is an amazing deal. <br />

And last, but not least, I also bought the lovely and sparkly Candy Mountain Bubble Bar. I actually picked this bubble bar up for my sister and she's tried and she said that it made her tub SUPER bubbly and she only used about a third of it. I can't wait to try this out but I was a little said to hear it doesn't turn your bath a fun color. Sad face. However, despite that little bit of disappointing news I am so excited to try out all these goodies and post reviews here on my blog. 2014 is going to be an awesome year and I'm so glad that you guys are here to share it with me. </div>

Happy New Year's everyone! I won't spend too much time waxing on about how quickly 2013 flew by (even though it did) and how weird it is to think that its now 2014 (even though it is). But I'm going to jump right into my first post of the new year. In the days after Christmas, LUSH was hosting a fantastic buy one, get one free sale. All their Christmas goodies were included and I couldn't resist picking up a few goodies for me and my sister--haul to come at a later date. </div>

I decided to ring in the new year with a luxurious and relaxing LUSH bath.And considering it was New Year's, I thought it would be fun to use LUSH's Christmas Eve Bubble Bar. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This LUSH bubble bar is scented with calming jasmine and ylang ylang. It isn't my favorite scent from LUSH (that honor goes to cult favorite, Honey I Washed the Kids soap) but it is a very relaxing scent. And I found that while it doesn't linger on the skin, its a full twenty-four hours later and I can still smell it in my hair. </div>

Unfortunately, while this bubble bar smells oh-so-delicious, it turns your bath water a very unflattering grey color. Thankfully the bubbles do a good job of covering a majority of the water's surface so its easy to ignore the fact that it looks like your bathing in dirty water. But poor water color aside, it's a lovely bubble bar. It gives off a medium amount of bubbles and would make a super cute themed gift for Christmas. As far as I know, the BOGO sale is still going on. I would recommend stopping by your local LUSH if you get the chance. </div>

After my raving review of the <a href="http://vivalafashiongirl.blogspot.com/2013/05/maybelline-quenched-baby-lips-lip-balm.html"><span style="color: purple;">Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in "Quenched"</span></a>, it should come as no surprise to you that I went out and purchased a few more colors. This time, instead of going for the clear option, I decided to go for some shades that would be super moisturizing but give my lips a little color in the process. It's the best of both world, right? </div>

Unfortunately the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in "Grape Vine" was not all what I thought it would be. <a href="http://vivalafashiongirl.blogspot.com/2013/05/maybelline-quenched-baby-lips-lip-balm.html"><span style="color: purple;">"Quenched"</span></a> was super lightweight, ultra moisturizing, and smelled divine. "Grape Vine" on the other hand has a slightly heavier and waxier formula. And while the product feels nice on the lips, it isn't as moisturizing power hose. I find that after the product has worn off my lips are still chapped and I tend to reach for "Quenched" or Vaseline. But there is one thing, and one thing only, that has truly annoyed me about this product--the smell. It has the worst artificial grape scent. To be brutally honest, the smell makes me a little nauseous if I put it on too thickly because it is <i>very</i> potent.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite all of my complaints about the smell and formulation of this product, I have nothing but great things to say about how this product actually looks on the lips. It gives the most gorgeous but subtle wash of color. I like to wear the color on its own (when I know I will be spending a lot of time outside where the smell isn't as strong) but recently I've been carrying this color around with me throughout the day whenever I'm wearing a berry/deep pink lipstick. When my lipstick begins to fade and become patchy, I apply this over the top and it helps disguise any imperfections. I've especially been loving wearing it with the <a href="http://vivalafashiongirl.blogspot.com/2013/05/maybelline-hooked-on-pink-color.html"><span style="color: purple;">Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in "Hooked on Pink"</span></a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Positives</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Beautiful glossy finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Subtle and natural hint of color </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Bright and fun packaging<br />
-Safety packaging to prevent tampering (unlike many Maybelline lip products)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Negatives</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Strong artificial grape smell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Doesn't cure really chapped lips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In conclusion, I'm a bit disappointed. I wish this product was so much more. I wish the smell didn't remind me of grape children's cough syrup. I wish it didn't just feel moisturizing but actually cured chapped lips. I love the way it looks on the lips but there are quite a few factors that are preventing me from dubbing it product a holy grail product. I think there are hundreds of women who will love the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in "Grape Vine" but I also know there will be just as many who will hate it or be on the fence (mostly because of that horrible smell). I hope this review will help you decided which category you'll fall into. </div>

<li>Here are the two polishes I received to review swatched for you to see. Both shades are part of the Sheer Lustre Glitter Top Coat collection, so I was a bit surprised when I realized that their finish and formulation were so different. "24 Karat" is a true top coat (and a bit hard to see in the swatches) while "Girl's Best Friend" is more of a traditional glitter polish. I like both but I see myself wearing "Girl's Best Friend" more. </li>

Here's a better swatch of "24 Karat" on my sister's super cute Santa manicure. It isn't very noticeable on its own but it's a polish that will give any nail look a festive glow. Anyway, I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year! Don't froget to check out these polishes at your local Walgreen's!<br />

It's time for another MAC eye shadow review! Surprisingly, I've found that these are really fun to write. When I first started getting into makeup, reading beauty blogs and watching videos from the beauty community on YouTube, I kept hearing about this MAC eyeshadow called "Woodwinked". Elle Fowler (aka All That Glitters) loved it. Lollipop26 loved it. Everyone and their mother loved this stuff. </div>

Every time I went to MAC, I would always stop and swatch "Woodwinked". It was a lovely color, sure, but could I justify spending so much on an eye shadow? This was back in high school when the only time I got to buy MAC products was when I got my makeup done for a special occasion like Homecoming or Prom. Back then $15 was a lot of money for an eye shadow. Heck, even now it's a lot of money. But, in the end, I finally picked up this shadow when I got my makeup done for Prom. I still remember how excited I was to use it. </div>

"Woodwinked" is an interesting color. It looks brown and a little olive-y in the pan but swatched on the skin it becomes this beautiful copper-brown color. It's a lovely color but I've heard from a lot of people with very light skin tones that the color can look a bit orangish on their skin. However, "Woodwinked" is stunning with a tan. It is my go-to summer shadow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Woodwinked" is a luxurious eye shadow. It is so soft and easy to blend. I always forget how soft high end eye shadows feel in comparison to drugstore brands. In all honesty, even though I love using drugstore eye shadows, there is a noticeable difference between the two. If you have the money to splurge, I highly recommend this shade. But, be sure that you try it on to make sure it suits you. </div>

For today's post we're going to take a walk down memory lane. We're going to go back, way back, to when I was a little ninth grader and I was getting ready for my first big dance. I was nervous and excited and absolutely clueless when it came to makeup. As an early birthday present, my mom took me to the MAC counter to get my makeup done. She allowed me to all of the eye products the girl had used to create my makeup look plus two other eye shadows. She was being <i>very </i>generous. "Purple Haze" was one of those extra shadows that I picked up because the girl at the counter told me that purple eye shadow would make my brown eyes pop. </div>

To be honest, if I could go back in time I would've helped my mom save some money and I wouldn't have purchased this shadow. It's a nice color but it isn't something that I use a lot. [sidenote: I know that it looks like I've put a major dent in this eye shadow but that's only because I dropped it and a huge chunk fell out.] I know that I should throw this product out. It is super, super old. But, even though I don't really use it anymore, a part of me wants to hold onto it. It was one of my first MAC eye shadows. [sidenote: I know I sound crazy right now and feel free to tell me so in the comments.]</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
"Purple Haze" isn't a popular MAC eye shadow--and, for good reason. It's a dull, flat dark purple matte color. It's nothing special and doesn't have a smooth, easy to blend formulation. It goes on sheer and sort of looks like a foggy, dark purple. It takes a bit of patience and skill to create a makeup look with this color that doesn't look like it belongs on an episode of a TLC makeover show. The most common way I would wear "Purple Haze" was as a pop of under my bottom lash line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In conclusion, "Purple Haze" is a nice color but, unless you know that you will be wearing purple eye shadow enough to use up 1.5 grams of product, I would recommend buying a cheaper version from the drugstore. It isn't worth the price tag considering how much most people would use it. </div>

Don't we all need a little happiness boost in our lives? I know that I wouldn't turn one down if it was offered to me. Well, if you're like me than Physicians Formula is here with a product for you. This blush makes a lot of bold claims.According to the Physicians Formula website this blush is "infused with our Happy Boost Blend, featuring Happy Skin* and Euphoryl, natural plant extracts which have been show to promote a feeling of happiness by mimicking the effect of Endorphins and helping protect the skin from environmental stress". </div>

Well, I know what you're all wondering. Does this blush <i>actually </i>make you happier when you use it? Well, here's my short answer--no. I haven't noticed a difference between days when I wear this blush and days when I wear others. I, personally, believe this whole "happy booster" stuff is nothing more than a marketing scheme. The cute hearts and the subtle violet scent make me happy but it isn't something that will last throughout the day or anything like what Physicians Formula is trying to claim. </div>

The Happy Booster blushes come in these adorable bright pink compacts. On top there is the blush but underneath there is a small round mirror and a large, pink and red blush brush. The mirror comes in handy when I'm trying to fix my makeup on the go. It isn't very big but its very handy in a pinch. The brush, on the other hand, isn't quite so handy--no pun intended. It's way too large on my face and the pink and red bristles makes it hard for me to judge how much blush is actually on the brush. I cannot tell you have many times I've accidentally given myself clown cheeks using this brush. It is more hassle than anything else and highly recommend that you toss it as soon as you can. It is junk. </div>

Here is the color swatched on the back of my hand. It is a warm pink, almost coral, color. I do own another Happy Booster blush in the shade "Natural" and I will admit that I prefer this one. It gives a nice, bright flush to the cheeks. In winter, it gives you that fresh I've-just-come-in-from-the-snow glow to your cheeks. It's really, really lovely. And it never seems to disappear. I've been using this color non-stop for weeks now and I can't really tell that I've used up much of the product. I'm impressed. There are two more colors in the line that I haven't tried and I think I might check them out sometime in the future. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, this blush is a bit pricey for a drugstore. It retails for about $11.95, depending on where you make your purchase. If you do want to buy something from Physicians Formula I highly recommend that you wait until it goes on sale at CVS or Rite Aid or at your local drugstore. If you can get 40 or 30% off $11.95, it makes it more budget friendly. And drugstores are always having sales so you wouldn't have to wait too long. Have you tried any Physicians Formula products?

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Last weekend I went home and spent sometime </span>tidying up my room. Imagine my surprise and delight when I stumbled upon my MAC eyeshadow pallete tucked away in one of my drawers. Don't ask me how or why it was in that drawer, I have no idea, but I'm glad that I finally found it. I don't have a ton of shades--only about eight--and I'm always amazed, and slightly horrified, when I see other beauty gurus with four or five palletes filled to the brim with MAC eye shadows. I mean, that's hundreds of dollars on eye shadows. It blows my mind when I stop to think about it. <br />But enough about that, let's get on with the review!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
"All That Glitters" is famous on the internet, not only because it is a cult favorite amongst beauty gurus, but also because it is the namesake of one of the most popular YouTube beauty guru's channel, Elle Fowler. And I can see why Elle chose to name her channel after this shadow. On the MAC website, this shade is described as a beige with gold pearl. It is a lovely all over the lid color for a natural, everyday look. It's also really great to blend with, if you're going for a shimmery smoldering look. It's probably tied for the MAC eye shadow that I get the most use out of--the other two are "Naked Lunch" and "Brule".</div>

After months of exclusively using drugstore eye shadows, I had forgotten how creamy and smooth MAC eye shadows feel on the skin. I don't have to struggle to get a nice, opaque swatch. I had almost forgotten what that feels like. However, despite the name, "All That Glitters" doesn't actually have any glitter. Way to be misleading MAC. Instead, it is classified as a veluxe pearl and has a nice, but subtle, shimmery finish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This shade is loved because it is extremely versatile and a great everyday color. It's one of the few MAC eye shadows that I know I would repurchase if I ran out--although I don't think that's going to be any time soon. It's a luxurious and beautiful shade. If you have the money to spend, I highly recommend giving it a look the next time make a purchase at MAC.</div>

Today is a very special day. It's my first liquid eyeliner review and the first time I've ever reviewed a Stila product on the blog. For the longest time I stayed far, far away from liquid liner. I was never very good at applying liquid liner. It also came out uneven and splotchy. It was a mess. But recently I was playing around with the Stila Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in "Sepctrum" and the sparks were flying and you know how this tale goes. One thing led to another and pretty soon I was smitten. </div>

The Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner comes in about eight shades but the one I own--"spectrum"--is a black with rainbow glitter. I hadn't heard anything about this product when I bought it but I was hoping that it would last longer than the few drugstore liquid liners I'd tried in the past. It retails for $22 at Sephora and Ulta. At first, I was disappointed with the product. I had a lot of unfair expectations (like I had hoped that my liquid liner application skills would increase exponentially if I paid a lot of money for a liner) and in my frustration this product got lost in my bathroom drawer. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After using it again this past month, I realized that while the Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Liner is, by no means a perfect product, I was being unnecessarily harsh. I have extremely oily lids and it takes a serious primer to make my eye makeup last all day. This stuff is good for five hours but any longer than that the product will begin to smudge and rub off. However, if you have dry eyelids, I don't think that that would be a problem. The applicator (while it didn't transform me into a liquid liner ninja over night) is a pleasure to work with. The handle is long but is close enough to the applicator to give you maximum control. The end is a stiff (but slightly flexible) sponge that is easy to maneuver and create different eye liner looks. It is easily the best part of the product. I find brushes too difficult to control and pens don't give enough control. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwGicqe4OdBzxR3TjpB6gy6iEo6d7HVzn97_OlyejnSGrH7VhqYy8L8fUeOBeSJr1MDRtCrNre6YspsWrgnVmLieNH-WmV2MpqzxL5HQ4UHfTPeBnUfzifX_uX-4UZGZ0NO8xlz-kQOmn/s1600/stila+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnwGicqe4OdBzxR3TjpB6gy6iEo6d7HVzn97_OlyejnSGrH7VhqYy8L8fUeOBeSJr1MDRtCrNre6YspsWrgnVmLieNH-WmV2MpqzxL5HQ4UHfTPeBnUfzifX_uX-4UZGZ0NO8xlz-kQOmn/s640/stila+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the things that is kind of annoying is that while the glitter is noticeable on the applicator and even when swatched on the back of the hand, it somehow doesn't translate very well when applied to the lids. Today, I used this product to do my makeup and my friend came to my dorm room as I was getting ready. She saw that my eye liner was supposed to have glitter in it but she commented that she couldn't see the glitter when applied. I hadn't really noticed before--but she was right. From five inches away, you can barely tell that there is a hint of glitter in the product. This is kind of annoying considering that this sparkle liner is more expensive than a basic black Stila liner.<br />
<br />
POSTIVES<br />
-Firm but felxible applicator<br />
-Lasts well<br />
<br />
<br />
NEGATIVES<br />
-Price ($22)<br />
-Once it dries, it can be rubbed off very easily<br />
-Glitter is unnoticeable from a distance<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I will probably not be repurchasing this product once I'm done with it. I really liked it but Maybelline's Stiletto Liquid Eye Liner is a very similar formulation with a very similar sponge applicator for a fraction of the price. Maybe in the future when I have a steady job and income, I might think of splurging on this product again but not any time soon. <br />

It's been a while since I've written any lip product reviews and I've got to say that I've genuinely missed doing so. Maybe its because I'm a total lipstick-a-holic but lip product reviews are my favorite. The Rimmell Lasting Finish By Kate Moss lipsticks recieve so much love on YouTube and the blog-o-sphere, so it's more than a little surprising that I've never bit the bullet and tried them--until now.<br />
<br />
This isn't a detailed and comprehensive review--that will come after I've played around with them for a bit longer. I've only had them for a few days but I just had to talk about them. They're so good!</div>

The first thing I noticed about these lipsticks was the packaging. It's so sleek and modern. Even though I'm not a Kate Moss fan, I still love that they added Kate's signature on the side. It's a nice detail that makes these lipsticks feel a bit more luxurious than their five dollar price tag. </div>

During my trip to Target, I picked up three shades--01, 10, and 12. As
far as I could tell, these lipsticks doesn't have any names (other than
the numerical ones I've listed above) which can be a bit annoying and
confusing. While I was doing swatches I kept taking pictures of 10 when I
was supposed to be swatching 01. It doesn't help that they're both red
shades. As you can see from the pictures above, that its an easy mistake to make. </div>

Here are the three colors I bought swatched side by side. 01 and 10 are very similar but 01 is a slightly darker red while 10 is a true cherry red. 12 is a lovely bright coral color. They all easily apply to the lips but I've noticed they stain the skin--a lot. If you smudge your lipstick onto her face or your hands, you need makeup remover to get it off. Also, its a nightmare to eat with. It'll get all over your food and your straw--basically anything that comes near your mouth--and the mess is a bit difficult to clean. However, the opacity is amazing and the colors (while there aren't many of them) are great classic shades that would look fantastic in almost any girl's collection. I have noticed a few flaws in the Rimmel Lasing Finish By Kate Moss lipsticks but overall I'm impressed. I plan to purchase a few more shades from the line and I'll be back in a few weeks with a more comprehensive review!</div>

I had so much fun writing my review for the Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly fragrance, I went straight to my perfume collection and picked out another scent to review. I chose something that I've had around for a while but haven't talked much about on the blog. Like almost all of the perfumes I won, SJP NYC was a gift from my sister. What attracted me to this scent was NOT the packaging. Because let's be honest, the packaging is really ugly. Carrie Bradshaw would not have let this happen! What happened?</div>

But thankfully for my decor, the gaudy plastic packaging on the outside can come off to reveal a simple clear bottle on the inside. Unfortunately, the bottle on the inside is rather plain and underwhelming. I don't know who approved the design of the bottle. It's very confusing. </div>

SJP NYC is such a sweet, whimsical, and youthful scent. Oddly enough, the smell sort of reminds me of something that Carrie Bradshaw would wear while she's walking the streets of New York. The top notes: strawberries, Italian mandarin, and white osmanthus. Middle notes: gardenia, honeysuckle, and mimosa. Bottom notes: rum flavor, sandalwood, creamy musk. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had this fragrance for years but (as you could probably tell from the pictures) I haven't used much of it. It's weird because this is a scent that I love smelling in the bottle but I don't like it as much when I wear it on my skin. Sometimes I spray it in my room but this fragrance doesn't get a lot of use. But I still really love it. I just wished that it mixed with my personal chemistry better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's the end of my review. It's weird. I've only done a handful of fragrance reviews but lately I've been really, really enjoying writing these. So, I think I'll try to make these types of posts a more regular part of my blog and I'm really excited. </div>

"Dazzle" was one of the six shades I bought from Drugstore.com when I went through my COVERGIRL lipstick obsession phase. Now, don't get me wrong, I still love COVERGIRL lipsticks. They're very pigmented and have a wide range of colors <i>but </i>"Dazzle" is not one of my favorites. If I'm being perfectly honest, "Dazzle" is one of those shades that just doesn't suit me. <br />

"Dazzle" is a very blue-toned baby pink color with a subtle bluish reflex. It's a unique color but not something that I would repurchase. I've had this lipstick for over a year, and as you can see from the pictures, I've barely touched it. It took me a while to write this review because I didn't want to write a negative review soley based on the shade (because this color could suit someone else perfectly) but I didn't want to fake enthusiasm for a product that left me feeling <i>meh. </i></div>

In the end, I decided not to hold back my feelings of dislike for the color but to emphasize that it was a personal preference. I just prefer to wear matte or cream finishes. It's a lovely color but not something that I would on a day-to-day basis...or really ever. </div>

Here is the color on the lips. It's a bit hard to see the blue-ish reflexes in the picture but I promise they're there! I'm not crazy! I have very strong yellowish undertones in my skin and I don't think that this color is very flattering. Although, I was looking at some pictures online and this color looks gorgeous on people with really dark skin. It's so striking and beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In conclusion, the formulation of this lipstick is the same as any other COVERGIRL lipstick I've tried. It's not as opaque but its still creamy (although it gets a bit gritty the more you use it) and easy to apply. I hope these swatches were helpful! See you on Wednesday!</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't love a good bargain and a great lipstick? MAC has some of the best lipsticks on the market but they're pricey. In August I published a post featuring a drugstore dupe for the popular MAC lipstick in the shade, "Lustering". Click <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://vivalafashiongirl.blogspot.com/2013/07/drugstore-dupes-mac-lustering-lipstick.html">here</a></span> if you haven't seen it. But it was very popular so I'm back with another drugstore dupe post but this time I'm writing about a fall favorite--"Darkside". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLmXrbTrfMe54nLRxBIAiv2BEx-Bp5yAVeuEQARJ3dvEoS_kKOIB6L05-5-bC5gJg7aheJ2tabkFlNxZcJVp2EGq2gq0kPvDC3J-T43yoDbqUzasph-iS6jl00wf16-xnKsnCsH6Vnj0y/s1600/drugstore+dupe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLmXrbTrfMe54nLRxBIAiv2BEx-Bp5yAVeuEQARJ3dvEoS_kKOIB6L05-5-bC5gJg7aheJ2tabkFlNxZcJVp2EGq2gq0kPvDC3J-T43yoDbqUzasph-iS6jl00wf16-xnKsnCsH6Vnj0y/s640/drugstore+dupe.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the bullet these two shades look <i>nothing </i>alike. "Darkside" looks like a deep, intense purple shade. A color that is extremely intimidating. While "Blissful Berry" looks like a lighter, berry color. I recently picked up the Maybelline lipstick <i>because </i>I thought it didn't look like anything in my collection. Yeah. I was wrong about that. Lipsticks in the bullet can be <i>very </i>deceiving. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHx8rdNUGT-2z9rl5h62XqTsGPyWCq4Oh6-QA5zT8XuaNPE_d4uuC7dZD2r5EHWDmtesCY70KRtfTQb9vHYlyUOJqyB0M2zTGlHtVPI4QGMezwPt-Y1VeTjTPIEEycpsK8CiDOWybLuNUJ/s1600/drugstore+dupe+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHx8rdNUGT-2z9rl5h62XqTsGPyWCq4Oh6-QA5zT8XuaNPE_d4uuC7dZD2r5EHWDmtesCY70KRtfTQb9vHYlyUOJqyB0M2zTGlHtVPI4QGMezwPt-Y1VeTjTPIEEycpsK8CiDOWybLuNUJ/s640/drugstore+dupe+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you swatch them on the back of the hand you can begin to see how similar the two shades actually are. They're both deep berry, burgundy shades with a cream finish. Although, right away, you can tell that the MAC lipstick has a more opaque and creamier finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRuKusIWfj9hE3YgUwudK2bhLH0Fdg86EnmXmui33ZWskTxnPz5s3gV618ZJWQNZ5noDFcuBerVCb0yQODF0hopRQE1o9aQnAXfsWqs1EkmXkz85ODpzjX-Q_Od1HR_xjcmrmdplMnPCvB/s1600/drugstore+dupe+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRuKusIWfj9hE3YgUwudK2bhLH0Fdg86EnmXmui33ZWskTxnPz5s3gV618ZJWQNZ5noDFcuBerVCb0yQODF0hopRQE1o9aQnAXfsWqs1EkmXkz85ODpzjX-Q_Od1HR_xjcmrmdplMnPCvB/s640/drugstore+dupe+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the two shades applied to my lips, side by side. Even in this final swatch you can see that "Darkside" is a tad bit more opaque. This is especially noticeable on the top lip, near my cupid's bow. But, all things considering, the two lipsticks are extremely similar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other subtle differences include consistency and scent. The MAC lipstick is, as expected considering the price, a lot creamier in consistency. It also has that nice vanilla smell. However, the Maybelline lipstick retails for around $7.50 (depending on where you buy it). That is half the price of a MAC lipstick. If you're looking for a bold, berry color this fall and you don't want to spend too much, Maybelline's "Blissful Berry" is a wonderful choice. </div>

This candle is marketed as smelling like "layers of gooey marshmallow, melted dark chocolate, and sweet graham cracker". Gosh. That makes me want to eat it!

<div style="text-align: center;">
"S'Mores" is very similar to another Bath & Body Works scent, "Marshmallow Fireside". Which is another one of my favorites. Apparently I just love it when my room smells like the inside of a marshmallow. Who knew? But while "Marshmallow Fireside" does have the noticeable marshmallow smell, "S'Mores" is a little bit more layered with the strong chocolate and graham cracker scent. They're both fantastic. It just depends on my mood which candle I end up burning. "S'Mores" is a sweet scent but it isn't overwhelming like a lot of the more sugary candles from Bath & Body Works. I'm not a big fan of super sweet smells (they can give me a bit of a headache) but I can burn "S'Mores" with no problem. I would definately check this scent out if you're looking for something on the sugary side but don't want your home to smell like its made out of candy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Although I'm a bit nervous writing this review. I didn't see this scent the last time I went into Bath & Body Works but I'm hoping that's because this is one of their winter scents. *crossing my fingers* I love this scent and I would hate to find out that it's no longer part of their permanent range. </span></div>

I love the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains (even though it is literally the longest name for a beauty product ever) and I feel like I'm always talking about the shade "Honey". But today, I'm going to be talking about the shade "Sweetheart". I originally bought this color because I thought it was the color that Emma Stone was wearing in the Jut Bitten Kissable Balm Stain advertisements. Unfortunately, I was wrong. She was wearing the shade "Lovesick". But in my defense, the shades are very similar. </div>

Before I get into my opinions on this particular shade, I'm going to do a quick summary of my thoughts about the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in general. These are the perfect hybrid (as the name would suggest) between a balm and a stain. They're ultra long lasting (especially the darker and bolder colors) but they're incredibly moisturizing on the lips. They come in an easy to use crayon and they're great to apply on the go. I can't get enough of these bad boys and I have then in at least six shades. They're fantastic!</div>

"Sweetheart" is a super bright, super bold fuchsia shade. I know that there are hundreds of women out there that love this shade but, for me personally, it isn't my cup of tea. I prefer to wear more neutral or plummy lipsticks. There is a very similar shade, "Lovesick", and it is slightly darker and slightly more purple and I think that it suits my skin tone a bit better. I'm not the biggest fan of this color but I wanted to do a swatch because I knew that a lot of my readers would love it. It's a gorgeous color but I don't think it's right for me. </div>

Here is a swatch of the product on the lips. It's strange. I think it looks lovely here but I just feel uncomfortable wearing such a bold color in person. </div>

In conclusion, I think the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains are fantastic. I can't wait to get my hands on more shades but this isn't one that I find incredibly flattering. The formulation is fantastic but this is probably the shade that I reach for the least. But please don't let my lack of enthusiasm for this color discourage you from going out and buying it. "Sweeheart" truly is a great product but it isn't for me. </div>

I knew exactly what I wanted the first time I walked into a MAC store. I remember that I actually had a mental list of my must-have purchases and on that list was the MAC blush in "Dame". Unfortunately, they had sold out of "Dame" but the MAC girl recommended that I try "Well Dressed". Compared to "Well Dressed", "Dame" is a slightly darker and slightly plummier.<br />

"Dame" is a great everyday color for the entire year but especially for fall and winter. I still love my Sonia Kashuk blushes but the colors that I own are very bright, very summery. Sometimes its nice to go for a bit of an understated look. This blush is very buildable but its sheer enough that its something that you could apply without a mirror. Perfect for my hectic dorm life! In the time since I've gone back to school, I've seriously cut down on my makeup routine. I barely have time to eat much less apply a full face of makeup. But I will always have enough time for "Dame". </div>

Here is the blush swatched on the back of my hand. As you can see, it's quite sheer. This makes it a favorite for MAC starter kits and makeup newbies everywhere. However you can achieve a moderately bold look but it'll take quite a bit of work.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>POS</u><u>ITIVES</u><br />
-Sheer but buildable color<br />
-Sleek and modern packaging<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>NEGATIVES</u><br />
-Price ($21)<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I'm a big fan of this blush. It's just so easy and so pretty. It gives a natural flush to the cheeks. The only downside is the price. Gosh. How did I justify spending $21 on a blush? I must be insane. But...at least I really, really love it. Right? At least I'm going to get a lot of bang for my buck. I own three other MAC blushes and I have yet to put a huge dent in any of them. Well, except for "Well Dressed" but that's only because I cracked it while I was traveling. So it's not quite the same thing. But maybe "Dame" will be the first. I wouldn't be surprised at the rate that I'm using this stuff. </div>

During my trip to Portland back in August, I decided to splurge and picked up some makeup goodies from the drugstore. For the past two months I've been testing out the products and I'm finally ready to share my opinion. I'm going to start with one of my favorite Portland purchases, the Maybelline lipstick in the shade "Warm Me Up". </div>

"Warm Me Up" is the first Color Sensational lipstick from the nude section. I normally gravitate towards deep plums or bright reds but I told myself that I had to be practical. So I searched for a color that was nude that wasn't too brown or too light or too pink. You know the drill. In the end I finally settled on this color and I think I made a great choice. </div>

"Warm Me Up" is a nude color with a slight berry undertone. It's very similar to my own lip color (probably only a shade or two darker) but when I wear it, the color just gives a nice sheen and color to my lips. It somehow just makes me makeup look a bit more complete. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the swatches of the product on the back of my hand and my lips. It's such a nice everyday color. There is no shimmer or glitter. Just a nice cream finish. I slap "Warm Me Up" on in the morning and then I can rush out the door. I don't have to worry about it smudging or fading unevenly. It's one of those nice your-lips-but-better lipsticks. It's just fantastic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>POSITIVES</u><br />
-Lovely everyday nude color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Price ($6)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Available at almost all major drugstores</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Smooth application</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<u>NEGATIVES</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Packaging</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Generic chemical smell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-No safety packaging in stores</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Finish of lipstick is not labelled on packaging</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In conclusion, I love this lipstick. It's a lovely and effortless. Plus, it's available at the drugstore for around six dollars (depending on where you go). I do have some issues with the Maybelline Color Sensational range of lipsticks (click <a href="http://vivalafashiongirl.blogspot.com/2013/06/maybelline-color-sensational-lipstick.html"><span style="color: purple;">here</span></a> to read a more detailed account about those issues) but I still enjoy the lipsticks enough to purchase them. I'm just wary about where and when I buy them. </div>

In this installment of 13 Nights of Halloween, we have another lipstick review. Other than dark, vampy colors like MAC's "Darkside", a bright, blood-red color is one of the most popular lipstick shades to wear on Halloween. Why? Because whether you're going as Snow White or Cruella De Vil or Taylor Swift, you will need red lipstick to complete your look. Also, Halloween is the one night a year when you can go crazy and no one will judge you. So be bold! Also, I've been wearing this lipstick A TON lately and I really, really wanted to talk about it. </div>

The Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss lipstick range is uber popular on the blog-o-sphere, especially with British beauty bloggers. Zoe from Zoella is a huge fan of a lot of the Rimmel lipsticks and I'm not gonna lie, after watching her most recent Fall Favorites video I knew that I had to try them. I had waited too long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing I noticed in the store was that the lipsticks don't have actual names. They're assigned numbers but that's about it. I picked up three shades "01", "10", and "12". Both "01" and "10" are bold red colors and even when doing swatches for my blog I had to be careful not to mix them up. It doesn't help that they look so similarly and their numbers are also quite similar. The second thing I noticed was the packaging. These lipsticks come in a sleek black packaging with the company logo embossed on the outside and Kate Moss's signature on the lid. I'm not a huge fan of Kate Moss but I think that the overall look is very appealing and fun. </div>

around to trying it out until recently. And let me tell you, they're <i>amazing</i>!</div>

As you can tell from the swatch above, this lipstick is a bright, bold red color. It is a true cherry red. It's the kind of color that will look good on almost everybody. And lately, I feel like I'm obsessed with this shade. If I'm not wearing it to class then I'm wearing it alone in my room while I'm studying. It's a color that exudes confidence and I feel so powerful and strong when I wear it. <br />
Maybe that's why almost all of the female Disney villains have red lips. It gives them that boost of confidence. </div>

Here is what the color looks like applied to the lips. It's certainly a knockout shade. Once applied, it's has a very creamy and smooth consistency. However, I have noticed that when you first start application, the lipstick tugs a bit at the lips. It also has a generic, old lipstick sort of smell. Normally I<i> hate, hate, hate </i>the generic, old lipstick smell. But, somehow, Rimmel makes it work. Don't ask me how but it just does. <br />
<br />
<u>POSITIVES</u><br />
-Great pigmentation<br />
-Fantastic price<br />
-Available at all major drugstores<br />
-Sleek, edgy packaging <br />
<br />
<u>NEGATIVES </u><br />
-Small color range<br />
-Transfers easily<br />
-Is only assigned a number, not a name<br />
-Application can tug at the lips<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I am starting to believe that all of the hype surrounding the Rimmel London Lasting Finish By Kate Moss Lipsticks is well deserved. It's a fantastic product, for a fantastic price. In comparison to the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks, these are more pigmented but Maybelline has a far superior range. The CoverGirl lipsticks have a grainier formulation and <i>a lot </i>of their shades have chunky, monkey glitter--not the sort of look I'm going for. This range is filled with fantastic basic lipsticks that will be in your collection for years. They are amazing.<br />

Today's installment is a bit of a loose interpretation of this month's post's Halloween theme but I hope you don't mind. Today I'm going to be talking about this grey polish from Rimmel, aptly called "Grey Steel". It's a color that would look lovely year round but as I was looking through my nail polish for "spooky" polishes, I saw this one and thought "Aha." "Steel Grey" is a beautiful cream purple grey color that was a product of the greige beauty craze that hit the market a few years ago. It's one of my roommate's favorite colors--she's used up an entire bottle--and I quickly became a fan too. </div>

The more I looked at "Steel Grey" the more I realized its a fantastic option for Halloween. It's a little spooky but it doesn't scream "Trick or Treat!" If you're looking for a cool but subtle shade to wear with your Halloween costume--and you don't want to go with the obvious choice, black--I would recommend checking out "Steel Grey". It's extremely inexpensive and readily available at almost any drugstore. If you don't wear it ever again, you don't have to feel too guilty because you haven't wasted too much money, but this is one of those colors that the more you wear it, the more you like it. At least that's what I've discovered. </div>
