MAC Vera Aloha & Butterfly Party Stack Swatches!

I've always avoided MAC's Crushed Pigments because they always seemed to get poor reviews.  I am so happy that I didn't pass them up this time.  I am honestly so impressed with these.  I've never felt a pigment that was so buttery and almost melted into the skin.  They are pigmented beyond belief.  I just tapped my finger onto the lid and it produced the most vivid swatch!  My swatches are all dry swatches!  Just scroll down and see for yourself!  These have so much product in them too!  It's an amazing bargain for what you are getting!  Wow!  Just WOW!  Enjoy the swatches!

NOTD: Sephora by OPI: I Only Shop Vintage (swatch)

Sephora describes I shop only vintage as an opaque metallic golden bronze.  I think that is accurate, but it has so much depth and dimension.  There are teeny green microshimmer that gives it this super unique antique look.  I really love this one and the formula is fantastic!  Enjoy the swatch!

OPI Holland Collection Swatches!

I just received several OPI Holland Collection polishes in the mail today and I want to swatch them quickly and get them posted.  I will do comparison swatches and look for dupes tomorrow or Saturday and will update this post.

So far, I'm not as excited about these now that I have them.  I feel like I've seen them all before....except for Wooden shoe like to know.  I think Wooden shoe like to know is the most unique polish of the entire collection!  I adore it!!  It's a must have in my opinion!  The formula on all of these were great and opaque in 2 coats.  Enjoy the swatches!

Sunday Riley Fool's Gold Eyeshadow Swatch & Comparison!

Fool's Gold was the one eyeshadow from Sunday Riley that I was dying to try.  In the pan it is to die for!  I was let down though after swatching it.   It's not very creamy or pigmented.  The two Urban Decay shadows that I swatched to compare (Dark Horse from Naked 1, and Snakebite from Naked 2) were soooo much creamier.  For $26 an eyeshadow, I expect it to blow my mind....and it didn't.  It's not even just the fact that it's not very pigmented, it's just not that eye catching to me.   It's still a very beautiful shadow, but just not as great as I had anticipated.

MAC Shop Shop Shop/Cook Cook Cook Lipstick Swatches & Comparisons!!!

I've been buying MAC for years and this is the first time EVER that I've purchased every single lipstick in a collection.  This is seriously the best lipstick collection ever!!!!!!!!!  I can't get over it!!  I almost didn't buy Naughty Saute, but it turns out to be my favorite of the bunch!!  It is such a gorgeous and wearable shade!  The pepto pink description almost scared me off, but it is the perfect light pink with just the right amount of sparkle!  My swatch photos are pretty darn accurate compared to what they look like in person.  I will be doing comparison swatches this evening!!!  Enjoy!!

Update:  When I wiped the swatches off my hand, all of the lipsticks (except Innocence Beware) stained my hand!  They won't rub off!!  I can't remember that ever happening!!!  Can you say staying power???? (pic below of stained hand)

Drooooooool!  So gorgeous!

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss #452 Pretty Rose

This is one of Dior's newest Ultra-Glosses that is available at Sephora.  Swatched on my hand, this doesn't look like anything special at all, but on the lips I really love it.  It has such a silky and smooth feel to it and it just a nice hint of color that I like.  It even looks silky in the swatch photo!  This gloss gets lots of love from me because it is so wearable and it goes with any other makeup I have on.  Enjoy the swatches!
