          Lips have never been so catwalk. That's because lips have never worn Kate Moss shades before. Her exclusive new collection of iconic lipsticks - from hot reds to pink pouts and soft nudes - ensure there's one for every outfit choice.

over the weekend Mr. Pretty and I went to support the film Red Tails (which we both surprisingly enjoyed) and on our way back home we made a few stops. obviously, i HAD to visit the beauty section in Walgreens', right? 


the Kate Moss for Rimmel London collection has been out for a while now, but this is the first opportunity i had to check them out in person. i ended up purchasing 3 of the Kate Moss Lasting Lipsticks:

MAC Naturally Collection

i know this post is hella late and i don't do a whole lot of posts on MAC, mostly because there are so many other beauty blogs out there that have swatches and reviews of MAC products. but every once in a while a collection comes around or i discover a MAC product that REALLY impresses me.

when MAC released the Naturally Collection earlier this month, i wasnt that impressed. the only items i picked up at first were Redhead MSF (i missed out on this when it was originally released) & the MAC 286 brush (a duo fiber blending brush).

a few weeks after the release i stopped in the MAC store and was pleasantly surprised by a few more items from the collection. there are some hidden gems in this collection.

          A soap-free, oil-free, and alcohol-free water that removes face makeup and tones the skin. It gently, yet thoroughly sweeps makeup away without rubbing while soothing botanical ingredients hydrate and add radiance. The result: purified and toned skin.

i have really sensitive skin, products with fragrance are the worst culprits. i also have really oily skin, so i hate the residue that a lot of makeup wipes leave on my skin. and don't even get me started on makeup removers that contain alcohol, those can be a nightmare for my oily skin; it dries it out and causes my skin to work overtime and produce even more oil. needless to say, i'm very picky when it comes to what products i use to remove my makeup.


when NARS released their Makeup Removing Water i was curious. is this stuff any different than regular old water? i'd never tried a cleansing water before, so i didn't come into this with high expectations. if anything i was skeptical. could this really do a good job at removing my makeup?

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Liquid Foundation

i've blogged about Benefits' Hello Flawless Powder Foundation before. it made my FAB FIVE list in May and was one of my fave products of 2011. so, i was super excited to hear that Benefit would be introducing a liquid foundation (a first for the cosmetics brand) this year! 


the new foundation will include 9 shades and retail for $34. from the looks of it the shades will match the existing powders, which will make it easy to match your powder shade to your liquid shade.


Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Liquid Foundation will debut online on February 15th (Happy Birthday to ME!) and in stores March 1st.


can't way to try it!!!
