RiRi Hearts MAC Fall Collection | Beauty

Hi there! Typically I don’t post about collection releases and actually while the whole Rihanna M.A.C collection hype was going on earlier this year and during summer I was pretty silent, although we share the same rock as home. But cue the cute limited edition packaging of the Fall collection and my eyes are dazed!

I am in love with the packaging on these! The colours probably aren’t that new to M.A.C. or makeup for that matter but goodness, the thought put into the names, packaging and product photos makes me want to get something from the collection. Go Rihanna, you did a good job! 🙂

This collection includes everything from brow pencils to lip products and some face products too. I didn’t include the photos of the lashes because I just don’t see the point in specially packaged fake lashes, and definitely wouldn’t be something I’d buy.

This collection is supposed to be available at MAC stores from the 26th September in North America, online from 30th September and other locations and worldwide in October. I can’t wait until it gets to Barbados!

Of course if you want more information on product names and the like you could check out Temptalia’s beauty blog!

What would you be getting from this collection?

College Makeup look | Beauty

Hey all! I was getting ready to take some pics for my Back to School outfits post (hopefully going up tomorrow) and I quickly created this make up look using the Smashbox eye shadow trio I talked about here. I loved how it came out. It’s so simple, yet pretty. Or so I think, you tell me.

Also let’s not forget the WWBH, click the button below!

I think this is college appropriate especially for the first day, or if you’re going out after classes. Very subtle make up. I love it.

What I used:
Smashbox Photo Finish PrimerNYX Stay Matte Not Flat Foundation in Chestnut
NYC Smooth Face Loose Powder in Translucent
Maybelline MasterShape by Eyestudio brow pencil- deep brown

e.l.f. clear mascara and brow gel
Smashbox Photo Op Eyeshadow Trio in Proof Sheet
Maybelline The Falsies Big Eyes mascara in Blackest Black
Smashbox Cream Cheek Color in Captivate
e.l.f Blush and Bronzing kit- Turks and Caicos
MAC Lipstick in Daddy’s Little Girl

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the Back to School post!

MAC Daddy’s Little Girl lipstick Comparisons (bonus gloss)

I’ve make mention of this lipstick quite often since I got it and that’s because I have nothing like it in my collection. I love how bright and fun it is and it is blue toned too, meaning that it should make my teeth look whiter.
This is not a dupe list as I do not have that many lip products that I could find a dupe, but I just thought it would be interesting to show you how different it is from other pinks and purples that I have. (Btw Candy Yum Yum is in a whole other category by it’s self, that is just a bright electric neon pink, so it wasn’t included.)

I recently acquired the Maybelline lip gloss in Raspberry Reflections that compliments this lip colour so well! I will be giving a full review on that very soon, but until then here are some swatches of it over DLG.

Blue Winged liner FOTD

Hey everyone,  just popping in to show you my face of the day.  I hadn’t intented to get such a dramatic cat-eye,  but sometimes you just have to roll with it.  I used an Avon glimmersticks pencil liner in Starry night (a navy blue with a hint of shimmer)  and to set it,  I used a blue Coastal Scents eyeshadow.  Other than that I just groomed my eyebrows as usual and applied a light coat of M.A.C. Daddy’s Little Girl lipstick.  I wil be doing swatches and a review of this lipstick very soon. 

How’s your week going so far? Hopefully all is well.
