185 Lilac Ever After
Swatch and Review
Lilac Ever After is described as a purple lip stain with a glossy shine.
Purple? Meh, I'd say it's a muted mauve-y shade. It definitely does not swatch or show up as a purple on the lips.
When first applying this lip stain I noticed it feels very wet, not sticky like most lip glosses.

I know everyone and their mother has probably tried out Maybelline's Baby Lips, but I had these photos on my computer and thought I'd go ahead and post them anyway.
Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss
I am a sucker for packaging and these are so darn pretty. They remind me of Easter eggs in their springy, pastel colors.
Peach Kiss leaves behind a nice hint of color.

Like my statement above says, I got to try this out for free. I've had it for a little while now and can fully review it.

This polish came out in the Summer 2011 collection, I believe.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I decided I should go for a nice tomato red manicure. I dug around my polish collection and found Essie's Silken Cord and painted away. I kept thinking it looked familiar and then it hit me! This looks exactly like Julep's January.
So, I immediately had to compare.
This is what I found...

Hello, Hello.
My Target finally got in a new display of the Color Whispers that were unmolested. FINALLY!
I have Pink Possibilities reviewed and swatched here.
As soon as Target restocked I knew I had to get my hands on Lust for Blush.
I love the translucent color coordinated packaging. I love the font they chose and how slim it is.

I wasn't going to post about it, but Julep emailed me about the box again so I thought I better share before they sell out.
Valentine's Day happens to be my favorite holiday and I happen to love nail polish so this is perfect gift in my opinion. What girl doesn't love nail polish? ;)

Today I have swatches for L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows in Amber Rush and Bronzed Taupe.
When you open your shadows you'll see these little stoppers..Don't throw them away!
Things could get messy if you do.

I got this Model Co lip gloss in Strip Tease a couple of Birchboxes ago.
I haven't heard much about the brand so it got me interested.
Model Co is beauty brand based out of Sydney, Australia.
They're known for smart beauty solutions that are quick-fix, multi-purpose and unique.
Basically, great for women on the go. ;)

So, I'm really late on the Baby Lips bandwagon...
I said I was not going to buy more lip balm products until I used up the tons of balms I already had.
Well...my three year old is obsessed with all things make-up and raided my balm stash so I had an excuse to try out Maybelline's baby lips!
I picked up Cherry Me for about $3 at my local Target.

About 1 million people from all over the country were in attendance this year.

Hey, Everyone.
Maybelline has launched a new line of lipsticks called Color Whisper for Spring 2013.
They are quite similar to Revlon's Lip Butters.
They are described as pure color pigments suspended in a gel with no heavy waxes for see-through color with a touch of shine.
I happened to run into the display at my Target with most of the 20 shades bought up already.
