MAC Cream Cup & MAC Dazzleglass Rags to Riches

I was watching a video by filthygorgeousmakeup (who is beyond stunning by the way) and became  obsessed with the color she was wearing on her lips. ( Link to the video with the glosses ) I of course ran out and got both of the products she used in that video which were the MAC Cream Cup lipstick and MAC Dazzleglass in Rags to Riches. I do have to say they looked way better on her but over all I am pretty pleased with them. I think they look great worn alone and also great a beautiful combo when worn together.

MAC Cream Cup lipstick

I really am loving the Cream Cup lipstick. It's such a beautiful, light, feminine pink. It's a very light "barbie" pink color with blue undertones.It's more cool toned and I usually like warm tones but it's so pretty that I'm willing over look that minor detail.  It's very wearable and so creamy in texture. I've heard people compare this to MAC Angel but with a tiny bit of shimmer. Perfect.

MAC Dazzleglass in Rags to Riches

This was my first time trying a Dazzleglass... I always stayed away from them because everyone said that they are so sticky...which they are but they aren't as sticky as I predicted. I've felt worse. I honestly really like this gloss. Worn alone it's quite sheer with a hint of pinkish lilac and a whole lot of silver, gold and purple tiny sparkles. I personally don't think it's too over board in the sparkle dept but it may not be everyones cup of tea. The texture is nice, smooth but yes sticky. I think this color looks amazing paired with a lipstick and specifically the MAC Cream Cup lipstick.

So, over all I am so pleased with this combo however I don't think this is really a winter combo... I think it will look better in the summer and preferably with tan. I think I can pull this color combo off but barely.... it cames close to washing me out and making me look like an old lady who wore the baby pink lipstick but I haven't crossed that line yet and I think I can pull it off.... at least I think I can. Doesn't matter... I like it.... and that's all that matters. If the shoe fits wear it....

Slimshine Swatches

Hi! In my previous post I briefly talked about the MAC Slimshine in Gentle Simmer. It's a sheer pink with white pearl shimmer. It's a very beautiful color! It's $14.50 but I got free (and I got a 2nd Bare, too)because I returned my empties. YAY!
Nicole wanted to see some swatches.. so here you girls, are. I also swatched Bare and Tango.

NYX and Buxom Lips!

I looovvveee the Buxom Lips by Bare Essentials. I got the color Dolly and it's a really pretty dark plum color. It doesn't really come out that dark as you'd think from seeing it in the tube. I love the minty feel on my lips. The other color I really like from this collection is called Star. It's beautiful.
I paired my Buxom Lips in Dolly with NYX Twig... another color that's amazing but it's just like MAC's Twig... like exactly.. even the same name. I may even like the NYX better because the MAC's is more of a matte and feels kinda dry on my lips and the NYX feels so smooth.
