MAC has a charity program called “Viva Glam” that donates tons of money to AIDS and HIV research and technology. They have been doing awesome things for  over a decade! Each year, MAC releases a limited edition lipstick and lipglass. Every cent of the profits from the two products go towards the MAC Aids Fund. (You can read about that more here.) There is a new celebrity “face” for each year and each new release by Viva Glam. Past divas include Missy Elliott, Lady Gaga, Fergie, and Dita Von Teese.

For 2012, Mac has announced that the celebrity face of Viva Glam is actually two faces… Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin! The sneak peek photo that was released looks amazing, and I am totally psyched to see what the new color of lipstick looks like.

Stay beautiful,

Say “Hello” to my new favorite lippie! Maybelline’s Baby Lips is absolutely amazing. I’m obsessed. I’m so obsessed to where I bought all the colors, + 3 of the pink punch ones. I love how not only does it moisturize your lips, but it also provides a nice colored tint! I was a little iffy on trying the red and burgundy shade, until my cousin told me to just try it. I did – and the color is nothing how you’d think it’d be! I thought it was going to be dark and ugly looking, but its perfect!

Time for proof…….

Told you guys Pink Punch was my favorite! But I do like Peach Kiss as well

It looks like there isn’t a huge difference between Cherry Me & Grape Vine. Both cute colors, but I find myself using Cherry Me more than Grape Vine!

I didn’t swatch the clear Baby Lips shade only because it has no color to it, so what’s the point?

GIVEAWAY TIME!

All you have to do is…

I stopped by my local MAC Cosmetics Counter recently and picked up a couple of their Holiday items! I wasn’t too impressed with what they released. I mean, some of it was cute… but I guess I have so much to the point where if it’s nothing like what I don’t already have, I don’t care for it. BUT I did come across this awesome mineralize brush set that I just HAD to have!

From left to right, there’s the 187 SE, 130 SE, 286 Duo Fibre Tapered Brush and 282 Duo Fibre Shader Brush. This set is called the Make It Perfect Brush Kit. It’s $49.50 and worth every penny. I love the look of the brush handles, the bag is definitely cute, and I get a lot of use out of these brushes!

I also came across this awesome beauty powder! Isn’t the packaging and container SUPER cute?! I was in search of a highlighter, and I found it!

Glitter and Ice Beauty Powder is fabulous! I got it in the shade “Snowglobe” and it was $24! I use it as a highlighter, but you can actually use it all over. I guess it just depends on your complexion and what you’d want to use for it. I love the shimmer to it. I put it on using the 130 SE brush from my new brush kit!

Be sure to visit your local MAC Cosmetics, or shop online for some awesome Holiday goodies!

YAY I am SOOOO excited for this new product and can’t wait to get it! Urban Decay just released the NAKED 2 eye shadow palette! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first one, so this one has got to be as good or even better. This palette is not boring at all; you can easily do a neutral look, but also quickly pull off a smoky, dramatic look as well. If you would rather go matte, you can or even sparkly!

The first NAKED palette came with a double edged eye liner, which I also really enjoyed. This one not only comes with a travel size lip gloss, but also with a double-ended, cruelty-free, Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush. How cool is that? Price is $50.

Colors include from Left to Right:

• Foxy
• Half Baked
• Bootycall
• Chopper
• Tease
• Snakebite
• Suspect
• Pistol
• Verve
• YDK
• Busted
• Blackout
  

I’m definitely going to be picking this up, are you?!

I bought this bH Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palette last year and let me tell you…. it is AMAZING. I recommend this palette to any and everybody. Who seriously can afford to buy 120 or so eyeshadows at $14.50 each? Yeah, not me (even though I have tons from MAC). If you’re looking for lots of color and something to use daily, this palette is for you. It has every single color you can think of & more. You might not even use it all! The palette I currently have is the 120 Color Palette 2nd Edition. But they offer 2 other editions of the 120 color palette, and they have several matte and shimmer palettes for very reasonable prices.  bHCosmetics.com is ALWAYS having a sale. The original price is $29.95, but right now- it’s 33% off… so it’s only $20!!!! ISN’T THAT A STEAL? You can’t go wrong…

Here is a picture of the first (top) palette it comes with….

..and here are the 2 palettes pictured together. (The case contains 2 palettes,on top of each other.)
