Bag of Glamour - Urban Decay The Black Palette

My latest lemming was this palette of 6 blackened shadows. I used my Sephora Friends and Family discount (FF2010 online) and purchased this $36 kit for 20% off.

 Most all of these shadows are buttery soft and so pigmented that it covers your fingers in one little swipe. I say most because the purple shade Jet was kind of hard to pick up, my least favorite in the bunch. My favorite it Cobra a black with gold glitter so sexy!

This palette comes with a mini 24/7 Zero (black) Eye Pencil, and mini Primer Potion in a light nude color to help the colors show up even better on the eye! Very smart.

I see this being my go to for night outs when I am in a rush, which is most of the time. Create a smokey eye with just one eyeshadow, line upper and lower lash lines and pile on my blackest mascara. Instant sex pot with out a lot of effort. I am going to enjoy this one. Check it out if you get a chance!

Operation Glamour - Lashes

Lately my lashes have been looking less than lush, so I have decided to jump on the lash serum bandwagon. I am trying out the L'Oreal Lash Serum for a month.

I have already tried it out for a couple of nights, and while it does not irritate my eyes, it leaves a white film on my lashes that I have to pick off in the morning. I am hoping the extra manipulation will not be damaging.

I will let you know how it is working out and if I see any difference in my sparse cils in two weeks. Let's hope so because for a drugstore product, this stuff was not cheap retailing at $14.99. Wish me luck!

Bag of Glamour - MAC Venomous Villains

I initially did not plan to get anything from this collection. I was not excited about a collection with the "bad guys" in Disney. They are so mean hahaha! Once I saw some swatches I decided to get a couple of things. Drum roll please...

Lipglass

Strange Potion - A pink peach opaque gloss, with some silver pearl. I am sucker for peach lippies.
Hot House - A deep bright hot pink/fuchsia shade also with some pearl maybe blue? Love this!

Lipstick

Toxic Tale - A blinding bright coral a Satin opaque. If you have Vegas Volt you can skip this one.
Sinister - A brownish plum shot with shimmer. Lustre formula sheer but buildable. I like it.

Blush

Bite of an Apple - Matte gives a nice flush to the face.
Darkly My Dear - A natural shade, if you have Ablaze you can skip this they are exactly alike.
Cajun Powder - This feels cool when you put it on, adds a sheen to my N45 tone, nice highlight!

Eyeshadow

De-vil - Reddish copper, really pretty. If you have seen Beyonce's Heat Perfume add this could be a dupe for the shade on her eyes. I cannot wait to try and eye with this.

Standouts for me:

Sinister Lipstick

Hot House Lipglass

De-vil Eyeshadow

Bag Of Opinions - Derma Doctor KP Duty Scrub Review

DERMAdoctor KP Duty Dermatologist Body Scrub


This stuff right here! This is a dual action body exfoliator that contains alpha hydroxy acids along with a physical exfoliator. I have been using this for about a month and it is awesome!

I like to exfoliate my entire body about once a week. I rub this on dry skin in circular motions and let it sit for a couple of minutes to let the AHAs take affect. Then, I jump in the shower and rinse it off followed by my body wash. (Which I found a new one and will review soon!) When I say SOFT! My skin feels so good after using this.  I am also prone to getting breakouts on my chest and back and I have not had any since using this product. After using this I also find that my lotion is absorbed better. Even The Man commented on how soft my skin was. I'll take a case please!

This line is formulated for people that have keratosis pilaris, I do not have this condition but if you do you might want to give this a try. It retails for $44 at Sephora. This may seem a little steep but you get 16 fl. oz and I have been using this for about a month and I am not even half way through. I could see this lasting a good 3 months. That's about $15 a month. Not too shabby!

Just an FYI do not use on freshly shaven or broken skin, it will burn.  All in all I give this product 4 out of 5 stars and will keep it in my rotation for sure.

Bag of Glamour - Sephora Haul
