Products I'm Dying To Try: New L'oreal Miss Candy Collection

I spotted these goodies at Walgreens last week and should have bought the whole lot of them.  After looking at the pictures, I've just got to have the jelly polishes and the lip glosses.  





As soon as I'm able to get my hands on these goodies again, I will post swatches.  I can't believe I passed them over the first time I saw them.  Big mistake! 

Have you tried any of these new beauties?

MAC Temperature Rising Collection Summer 2013










Here is what I have so far on MAC's upcoming summer collection Temperature Rising which is set to release in May.  I was kind of bummed that there weren't any single eye shadows this time around.  I like having the option of only buying the color that suits me.  Other than that so far I'm impressed and excited about this collection as I am about every MAC summer release.  MAC summer and holiday collections are usually my favorite.

Product Review: Boscia Luminizing Black Mask




Sharing a few of my thoughts on the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask.  This can be purchased at Sephora and costs $34.00 for 2.8 oz.

This is a peel off mask and once it's removed it left my skin soft and supple.  My skin was glowing the next morning.  I could noticeable tell a difference from the morning prior.  My skin was a bit red after removing the mask but that was gone in about 20 minutes.  I would recommend doing this mask at night prior to your nightly treatment or moisturizer.  

I didn't like having to peel it off at first but after seeing the difference in my skin, it's totally worth it.  

I look forward to trying more Boscia products! 

I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for reading and watching!

Sephora Chic Week 2013 Wish List

It's time again for another Sephora VIB sale! I wanted to share a few of the items on my wish list.  I'm not sure if I'll pick everything up or nothing but these are the items that I currently have my eye on.  


Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Hussy

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light

Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Quince


Buxom All About Pink Lip Set



Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel



I've also been thinking about a beauty blender, NARS Madly blush, Sephora Cleanse Off Oil, and Buxom Gloss in Creamcicle.  I finished up my Creamcicle and despite all the gloss I have, I have felt it's loss.  

Thanks so much for reading! I'd love to know what's on your list!
