Katie Holmes for Bobbi Brown

Katie Holmes is the new face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics.

Ricky Martin & Nicki Minaj are the spokespeople for MAC's Viva Glam 2012

MAC has announced Ricky Martin & Nicki Minaj will be the new spokespeople for MAC Viva Glam 2012. I have the Pink Friday lipstick, which I love, so I'm excited to see what MAC & Nicki are cookin' up. I'm sure it'll be bold & bright. 

Oh, and the photographer for the ad campaign just happens to be the amazing David LaChapelle! 

All the proceeds from the Viva Glam lipsticks go to the MAC Aids Fund ($224 million has been raised so far!) I always feel good when I purchase the lipstick because I know my money is going to an amazing cause!

Haul : MAC & Macy's

 I stopped by the MAC counter and picked up the mineralize foundation in NC 30. I already use the Studio Fix foundation, but it's WAY too hot for liquid foundation. The MA at the counter matched me and did my whole face and I left it on all day. I love it so far! Review coming soon (& possibly my everyday face routine!)

I also got these babies from Macys in the clearance rack. I always find gold in clearance. :)

They're by Guess and were originally $69.00. The clearance price was $34.50 but I got them for $24! Macy's was having a 65% off sale.

I've had them on ever since I got home from the mall yesterday, breaking them in around the house.

Love!

Nicki Minaj Pink 4 Friday Lipstick Review

Last Friday I was lucky enough to get the lipstick. I had my mom's computer & mine ready at midnight for the lipstick rush. Sure enough, MAC's website slowed down considerably, thanks to all the "barbz & ken barbz". Today, I received my package & took pictures to share with you.

Compared to Viva Glam Gaga.

1 : Pink Friday 

2 : Viva Glam Gaga

I love this color! In the tube it looks like a Barbie pink with some purple undertones. My only complaint with this lipstick is only its packaging. I feel like this whole "only for 4 Fridays online only" thing makes it seem a bit rushed. I would've liked for the packaging to feel a bit more "limited edition" rather than a regular MAC lipstick. I'm sure this collaboration with Nicki & MAC was a last minute thing, but I still love the color.

TAG: My Makeup Story

One of my favorite YouTube beauty guru's, Akaydoll, posted a video of a tag she made up, called "My Makeup Story." I liked the idea of it, so I decided to post it here on my blog.


1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
 - I was around 13/14 when I started. But only wore mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss!
2. How did you get into makeup?
 - I used to play around in makeup when I was little (don't all girls??)
3. What are some of your favorite brands?
 - MAC & some drugstore products.
4. What does makeup mean to you?
 - I love the art of makeup, being able to use colors to create unique looks.
5. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?
 - Foundation, Eye-liner, Mascara & Lipstick/Lip Gloss.
6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?
 - The confidence boost it gives me.
7. What do you think about drugstore makeup and high end?
 - I love MAC but drugstore also has great products. My face makeup comes from MAC, but my eyeliner, mascara & some lip products come from the drugstore.
8. What is one tip of advice you can give to a beginner? 
 - Practice makes perfect, and wear makeup because you like to wear it not because you feel you need it!
9. What is one makeup trend you never understood?
 - Really dark lip colors, raccoon eyeliner, & wearing WAY dramatic lashes on a casual day.
10. What do you think about the beauty community on YouTube?
 - I love it! I've been watching for years.


I tag YOU!
Do a YouTube video or post on your blog, but leave a comment so I know to check it out. :)
