Review of Jillian Dempsey Collection

So I got this in yesterday and had to try most things on today:

• Limited-Edition Ultra Color Rich Lip Conditioner - I was disappointed that this was not a color, per se, but it's a nice lip balm.
• NEW Limited-Edition Morph Tones Cream Eyeshadow Duo - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Is she going to put out any more shades in this? Lov!
• NEW Limited-Edition Apri-Glow Complexion Enhancer - This is ... weird. It definitely warmed up my face, but was a little on the orange side; I added tinted moisturizer on top and it looks ok, I think
• Glazewear Liquid Lip Color in Tickled Pink - like this much more than expected - it really goes with the rest of the kit, v pretty.
• Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara in Black - Didn't try this...
• Ageless Results Day Cream1.7 fl. oz. - SPF 15 doesn't cut it for this fair gal, so I didn't try this either (I'm a neutrogena 45 SPF kinda girl)

I totally want more of these morph tones! They're sheer, but so pretty.

(oh, and the bag's great, too!)

Product review: MAC Tendertones

I admit it, I'm normally a BE fanatic, but lately I've been branching out into other brands, thanks to some of the other beauty blogs I've started reading. One of the latest that I've picked up is the MAC Tendertone in Hush Hush, which is described as Tender pinky peach with gold pearl. I'm not sure if it's really pinky, or more of a pinky brown, but it's very sheer and really quite pretty. Plus, it has an SPF of 12, so that makes it even better!

In fact, I liked it enough that I wanted to run back to Nordstrom's and pick up Deep Sigh and Pucker. Unfortunately, I was headed off to Atlantic City for a weekend of gamblin' and carousin' with a now-card-carrying degenerate gambler, so that wasn't an option.

I'm not sure that I really like the fact that it's in a pot - I either have to apply with my finger (like in AC) or with a lip brush, which isn't very convenient, especially since this requires re-application during the day. Something also to note: if you carry this around in your pocket (like in AC), the gloss becomes rather soft, and you end up with more on your finger when applying it. I found out that I liked this better, though - I missed the easier application when I got home and the gloss got to room temperature.

It is a limited edition, so if you want it, you need to grab it while it's still here!
