I know I am not alone in this feeling of coming home to goodies waiting for you, it is the best!!!!
If you follow us on Instagram I just posted this picture because I couldn’t contain my excitement!
The other day my Tom Ford lipsticks came in and I danced and sang the whole way up the stairs after the UPS man rang my doorbell.
Today he came again and brought my Sephora and NARS goodies, ahhhh ❤ ❤ ❤
I finally caved and bought some of the Tom Ford Lips and Boys collection in Pablo and Giacomo. I have a ton of dark colors for fall and winter so I thought it would be perfect to get some light spring/summer colors. I love the colors I picked out and only regret not getting a third to get the cute box that comes when you order 3
My addiction to Nars Audacious Lipsticks is not new so yes I had to order a couple of more, I am happy to welcome Vanessa and Vivien to my growing family. My mom said she mailed me Sandra, which is really nice, but it makes me wonder why didn’t she mail the other 2 I left back home lololol. I am not one to question my mom so I am just happy she figured out how to send one in the mail.
I loved the Mood Exposure Blush that came in my Hourglass Blush Palette so much, I had to order another one in fear I might hit pan on that one and then it wouldn’t be as convenient to carry around that one palette. Mood Exposure is just so natural and a perfect wintery hue on my cheeks I just always go for it.
Hope you are having a happy Thursday!

Can I say gorgeous packaging?!? I am in love with Mood Exposure in the Ambient Lighting Blush set! It is so amazing I asked my hubby for the Ambient Lighting Palette & he delivered! 🙂 Ok how does Tom Ford compare to Dior & Estee Lauder lipsticks in formula?

Yay I am so happy you are loving Mood Exposure and awesome that your husband got it for you 🙂 A perfect gift because that palette is my favorite blush. I am sad to say I don’t own any Dior and have only tried the Estee Lauder lipsticks from the free gifts they give out 😦 I have been thinking about getting some of both because I typically love anything Estee Lauder (and love the gold packaging) and I don’t own anything from Dior and a lipstick is a perfect way to introduce myself to Dior since that is what I use the most of, wahh so many things I want lol and not enough spending funds. I hope to wear at least one of the Tom Fords lipsticks this weekend and I can at least compare it to Nars, Mac, NYX, and Bobbi Brown although for my favorite I have to say Charlotte Tilbury wins all the way around for me the packaging, the color, it is just so creamy that it even beats my favorite Nars Janet color.

Yeah, I know what u mean by too much to try & not enough funds. I want to try the Audacious, CT, & TF Lipsticks. But don’t wanna fall in love w another high end lipstick brand. I got so much lipstick for Christmas I need to blog on. The funny thing is one of my favorites is a $5 one cause the color matches my skin tone so well. It is Colourpop in Lumiere have u tried that? It’s a dupe for the Audacious in Anna.

Omg I have been dying to try that one! So jealous you got it 🙂 I have Anna in Nars but that’s another one I have yet to actually try on ughhhh. Those are my thoughts exactly on not wanting to try another high end brand, Nars has taken over my life but I desperately want So Marilyn in the big tube of CT and I am mentally hoping I don’t like the TF so I don’t start another obsession lol. I want to try Lipstick Queen and there are a couple of Hourglass lipsticks I need on my lips-sadness so much out there….

I definitely will once I can bite the bullet and fork out the money to purchase one. They’re even more expensive here in Australia! I’ve heard great things about that palette. I hope you enjoy it if you purchase it.

Oh no!!! I just saw you are from Australia and yeah everything is way more expensive there 😦 I am doing a beauty swap with my friend in Germany and things are expensive there for her so I can’t even imagine the price it is for you. I was reading other bloggers mention that they opened a Sephora there, are you near that one?

LOLOLOL that is funny, I wish we would get the same driver but ours always vary 😦 Yes you need to get some Tom Ford, they are smaller than I expected but I know I wouldn’t be able to finish a regular size one so I prefer the small versions and wanted to get them before they went away in February. They have so many nice colors but a lot of them are sold out, hope you are able to try one ❤

I actually just got myself some buxom lipsticks and they usually a bit smaller too, I agree I like the small size just because I get bored easily with lipsticks.

Ahhh. I have a love/hate relationship with your blog, lol. You guys posts so many awesome things that make me want to run out and buy everything. But I love discovering new items so thank you (even though my wallet can’t say the same). 🙂 I’m anxious to see how you like the TF lipsticks. I am so eyeing CT lipsticks and I wanted to get the Matte Revolution ones but so far it seems they are only available in the UK. 😦 I might just get B**** Perfect for now. Will check out that HG shade next time I go to Sephora because I don’t think they had that shade on display.

Lolol ❤ Stephie! I am going to try at least one Tom Ford lipstick this weekend, I am so bad and have collected way too many lipsticks eeek. Thankfully I told myself no more lipsticks until March or a really great sale, I am not going to lie though I have 2 more lipsticks in the mail lolol but that's it until March!!! Omg I have been dying for some Matte Revolution in my life, she is releasing stuff in February stateside but I see no Mattes in the collection 😥 I wish I knew someone going to the UK because I would beg for them to bring us something. My friend is going in summer but I hope they come here before then but if not I am making her a list and giving her money because those Mattes sound amazing!!!! I honestly love my Charlotte Tilbury lipstick, I use Velvet Underground the most but I love So Marilyn and Bitch Perfect in the minis, I gave away Penelope Pink because the color wasn't nice on me but the formula is so nice and creamy. I really want So Marilyn in the big version but I had to say hold up, I have to finish a red lipstick before I buy more. I really love Mood Exposure the other 2 colors that came in the palette are great spring/summer colors but for winter Mood Exposure is the perfect natural color/highlight to the face. I recently went to Barneys and they had the blush palette there and my friend went to Bloomingdales yesterday and she saw it there too, if anything I would say check those department stores out to see if you are able to get the palette because that thing is amazing for the price. Ugh that just reminds me of the Hourglass lipstick I want in Fever, I love Hot Pink and this was is beyond amazing and creamy. It never fails every time I go into Sephora I get someone to clean it or help me apply it on because I love it so much. If you can't tell Pink and Red Lipsticks are my favorite lol. I dread the Spring collections coming out because I know it will be super hard to resist so much but so far so good. Oh and I forgot Ulta sent that 20% off your entire purchase in the mail and thankfully I have returns to do so really I am just doing an exchange and that's not really spending money right? lol I have my eye on the Real Techniques Metal brushes and more NYX soft matte creams, I can't get over those or the butter glosses and NYX lip Spring collection looks beyond AMAZING!!!!!!!! Sorry I rambled too much, I just get too excited over makeup but particularly lipsticks ❤ if you read this much thank you ❤ ❤ ❤

Haha. That’s okay. When it comes to makeup, it’s never a long rambling. There are so many products out there, it’s impossible not to discuss. Also, it always good to know there are others who have the same makeup obsession as you do. 🙂 Hopefully those Matte revolution lipsticks launch here soon. As for the HG palette, I think I will stick with the single one I got. Honestly, I don’t hit pan with many products and I really need to use others up too. Lipsticks have to be some of my downfalls too. I love mostly all makeup products, however lip products seem to be my weakness. They are just so pretty and easy to use. I need to check out the NYX spring collection. I agree NYX has some great colors and formulas. 🙂

Omg I just read a rumor the Mattes might be released next month ahhhhh. Yeah I rarely hit pan on things but then the Mood Exposure on my palette looked really low and I realized omg I just might hit pan and that can’t happen so I caved and bought an extra. I didn’t even know how much I liked that blush until noticing how much I use it compared to the others lolol.

Omg I know! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the section for it, but it is awesome! I hope they continue this because I love the exposure these artists get. They had another graffiti artist from Asia on display and I meant to read who it was and their story, but ran out of time 😦 I hope to go back and find out who it was before I liked their work too. I especially like how they even introduce me to new stuff. Who knew Forever 21 and UO could be teaching people from all ages

ISn’t it amazing!!! That blush palette has to be one of my ultimate favorite holiday releases. Every color is so nice and I agree ME is perfect for winter and the others for Spring/Summer. I have only tried Vanessa so far but only because she is so amazing everytime I try to use another lipstick she calls to me lolol
