Smashbox Eye Shadow Trio in Autochrome - Review

Lately I've just wanted everything to be purple. My nails and my makeup, mainly. I'm blaming this on binge-playing Diablo 3 and it's extremely dark color scheme (wouldn't that be more red though? Whatever.)

Luckly for me, Smashbox's eye shadows are extremely pigmented and I only have to go down to Sephora or Ulta and pick them up to get my fix. I got the Autochrome Trio, and was immediately blown away by it's awesomeness. 

Here's a picture of my face with it on, and then the review is after the cut as per usual:
I'm wearing a bunch of other shit in the photo, if you're curious what it is comment and I can tell you.

March Ipsy

I subscribe to Ipsy and Birchbox monthly, because to me it's like getting a nice surprise in the mail every month. I don't always like what I get, like last month which sucked, but usually I'll at least get one or two things that are at least decent.

This month I am actually pleased with both my Birchbox and my Ipsy, but this post is only about Ipsy because lol at writing that much in one post. This month from Ipsy I got an eye shadow quad, nail polish, face primer, and lipstick. I like all of these things. So here's what I got:

MAC Limited Edition Dreaming Dahlia Lipstick - Review

Sometimes I get in this funk where I'll be like "Hey, I just got the Lorac Pro Palette, I'll totally post about it!" And then I'll realize it's 16 eye shadows and I'll get completely overwhelmed and just not do anything because I'm secretly actually 12 or some shit. On the bright side, I actually did get the Lorac Pro Palette, and the Pro to Go palette, thanks to my fiance, so hopefully I'll stop being a child and review those soon.

So, MAC's Spring 2014 collection is called A Fantasy of Flowers, and as is fitting with the theme all the shit in the collection is named after flowers. I was shocked, I hope you are too. There's tons of stuff in it, which you can see at Temptalia's website which I am not going to buy. But I did buy one of the lipsticks. 
And of course, surprise surprise, it's the coral one.

I have this thing for coral lipsticks. They're like chocolates to me- I could have a million of them and someone would say "Yo, you want this chocolate bar?" And I would reply "abso-fucking-lutely I do". So it was a surprise to say when I went to buy my 2nd ever MAC lipstick, I wasn't actually looking for a coral. I was actually looking for MAC Syrup, a nice neutral pink.

And then I saw it. I asked the SA what it was, and of course she had to mention it was limited edition. It's like she read my mind. So about 5 minutes after walking up to the MAC counter, I walked away with my new delightful lipstick: Dreaming Dahlia!
