Kleancolor Lipsticks - Tingling Mimosa and Oro Swatches In my most recent Miss A haul, I ordered 2 of the Kleancolor lipsticks. I had been hearing a lot about them from different social media sites and with all of the mixed reviews I decided to give them a try. First off when they were delivered they sat in my mailbox for a couple of hours and thus were slightly melted. I stuck them in the freezer for about 10 minutes and they were good as new. I can honestly say that after swatching them and trying them on that I too have mixed reviews on them. Let's start with the positive. Pros -Inexpensive = Afforadable -Great for someone on a budget who wants to build up their collection. -Pigmented -Easy application -Big color selection Cons -Strong perfume smell -Waxy crayon texture So far with the shades that I have, Tingling Mimosa (Orange) and Oro (Gold) the pigmentation is great. The color glides on evenly. My main gripe or con with them is their strong perfume smell. It is the kind that you can taste on your lips and feel in your throat. Don't get my wrong there is absolutely nothing wrong with smelling like perfume, but it isn't appealing on the lips. I mean who wants to associate lipstick with perfume? Now give me vanilla or strawberry and I am a happy camper. I can even tolerate feeling like I am applying crayon to my lips with their waxy texture. I am going to keep using them since I do like the pigmentation, but at the same time these will not be my daily go to lip products. Swatched left to right - Tingling Mimosa and Oro I ordered some more of them and will be post swatches of them when I receive them. If you are interested in trying them out, below is the link for Miss A where I purchased them. Kleancolor Lipsticks Have you tried the Kleancolor lipsticks? What are your thoughts?

Sleek Makeup i-Divine Rio Rio Palette and Swatches I can't rave about Sleek Makeup eyeshadows enough. They are one of the highest pigmented shadows for the price. The palettes are $11.99 and they contain 12 eyeshadows, most of which are matte and shimmer combinations. They always get me with their palettes. They release limited edition palettes quite frequently that you have to hurry and get before they are gone for good. When I received an email from Sleek Makeup announcing the release of the Rio Rio Palette, I initially thought that it reminded me of the Acid Palette with its vibrant colors. I have a soft spot for intense colors so I ordered the palette. The Rio Rio Palette is inspired by the colors seen at the Rio Carnival. It contains base shades, highlighting shades, transition shades, pop of colors shades, and smoky shades. Below are swatches of the palette over NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. Swatches from bottom to top - Tropics, Cachaca, Night Fever, City of God, Ipanema, Copacabana, Caipirinha, Sao Conrado, Urca, Bossa Nova, Leblon, and Leme. After swatching these shades and seeing the colors I can't wait to create a look with them. Currently Sleek Makeup is having a Labor Day Sale, which will give you 20% off of any order when you enter the code GIVEME20 at check out. Below is the link to purchase the Rio Rio Palette. http://www.sleekmakeup.com/riorio What do you think of the Rio Rio Palette from Sleek Makeup?

Naked 3 and Milani Bella Eyes For today's Makeup of the Day I used my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette and a couple of the new Milani Bella Eyes eyeshadows. Here's how I created this look: I primed my lids with Urban Decay Primer Potion and then applied MAC's Painterly Paint Pot as a base. Next I applied Strange from the Naked 3 Palette to my brow bone as a highlight. Taking Milani's Bella Eyes in Bella Cappuccino I blended that into my crease as a transition color. Then I applied Buzz from the Naked 3 Palette to the 1st half of my lid up to the crease and under the 1st two thirds of my eye. I took Milani's Bella Teal and blended that into the 2nd half of my lid up to the crease. I also brought this shade under the last third under my eye. I patted Dust from the Naked 3 Palette onto the inner corner of my eye. I lined close to my lash line with an Almay eyeliner called Brown Topaz. I then lined my top lid with L'Oreal's Infallible eyeliner in Bronze. I curled my lashes and applied Too Faced's Lashgasm mascara. Milani's Bella Teal has quickly become one of my favorite Bella Eyes eyeshadows. It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks phenomenal paired with the Rose shades from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.

Lorac Mega Pro Palette - Sneak Peek

When I was scrolling my Instagram feed earlier this morning, I came across a post from the lovely @beautylogicblog and I stopped breathing (only for a short moment, no need to be alarmed).

When I regained oxygen intake, my first reaction was to doubt what I was seeing.

You know how sometimes you are surfing the net and you come across bogus items that aren’t for real. So I was hesitant at first to believe my eyes.

When the shock wore off I started accepting what I was seeing.

The next question was when does this come out? (It is rumored to be released in November, Yay! Right before Christmas). I don’t even care what it will cost. I just know that it is lovely and I want it. No, I need it.

This lovely palette pictured below is by Lorac, which you can probably tell by the packaging, appearance of the shadows, and the AC reflected in the mirror (from the name LORAC) and the PR on the side of the palette (for PRO).

This palette contains 32 eyeshadows. That would be the equivalent of putting your Lorac Pro Palette and Lorac Pro 2 Palettes together (since each has 16 eyeshadows).

What’s even more exciting is that a lot of these shades look new. Besides that it looks like you have your neutrals, jewel tones, smokey shades, plus your basic black and white shades.

Want more good news about this palette?

It’s rumored to only be $59.

What do you think of the Lorac Mega Pro Palette?

Is it November yet?

Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette and Swatches Today when I arrived home I found my Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette patiently waiting for me on my porch. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I know my fellow makeup addicts can relate. It is like Christmas, but in this case you receive a gift from yourself to yourself. You are already planning on the various looks you will create using your new gift. I knew that when Urban Decay announced they were releasing a second palette in the Naked Basics series that I was going to get it. The original Naked Basics palette is so versatile that I use it almost every single day whether it is alone or in conjunction with other eyeshadows. I use it to highlight the brow bone and inner corner of my eyes as well as on the crease, for blending, and for transition shades. Of course I was going to want another palette just like that. This time around the Naked Basics 2 palette has shades that resemble the Naked 2 Palette. They are cooler toned shades than the original Naked Basics. You still get 6 shades, 5 matte and one satin. The packaging is a little bit smaller, but still has all of the same characteristics of the original Naked Basics Palette that we all know and love. Swatches from left to right - Skimp, Stark, Frisk, Cover, Primal, and Undone Another picture, swatched in the same order as above After swatching them I noticed that Stark is so close to my skin tone that it pretty much blends in. This will be the perfect shade to aid in blending out the harsh lines of other eyeshadows. I also noticed that these shades seemed more buttery smooth than the original Naked Basics. The palette is currently available for $29 on Urban Decay's website (link below) http://www.urbandecay.com/naked-2-basics-palette-by-urban-decay/283.html#start=1&cgid=new Look for it in the future at Sephora, Ulta, and anywhere Urban Decay is sold. Have you picked up your Naked Basics 2 yet?

L.A. Girl New Glazed Lip Paints and Swatches

To say I am a huge fan of the L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints is an understatement.

What’s more than a fan?

I guess I am a L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paint stalker.

I only stalked them for a short time though because I bought them as soon as they came out. I guess that makes me more of an obsessor.

At first I told myself I was just going to buy a couple of them, but that was such a hard decision trying to decide which I would get and which would be left out.

Well I was in no mood to leave a Lip Paint behind so I did what any well minded person would do and I adopted them all giving them all a home.

Aren’t they adorable?

From left to right - Whisper, Elude, Flirt, Peony, Whimsical, Tango, Tease, Daring, Seduce, Tempt, Feisty, and Gleam.

These 12 new Glazed Lip Paints all have the same consistency and packaging as the original Glazed Lip Paints. Why fix what isn’t broken?

The only difference is that one of them, Tease, has micro glitter in it.

I mentioned in a previous post on the L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints that I purchased them as a set of 12 from Lady Moss online at http://www.ladymoss.com/ for $35 + tax and shipping. I ordered them this past weekend and received them on Monday.

I am looking forward to having different colored lips for the next 12 days.

What do you think of the colors of the new L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints? Which is your favorite?

Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette & Inspired Look

I was an Alice in Wonderland fan before I was a makeup fan.

It’s true.

It even inspired my blog name, Tiffany in Makeupland, My Life in Makeupland. I consider it a land because my world is consumed with all things makeup and it is such an integral part of my life.

One day, some time back in 2012, I happened to be browsing ebay for Alice in Wonderland items and I stumbled upon the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette.

I said hello and convinced myself it would be mine, even if it cost me $200.

See at this time it was no longer available to purchase anywhere else since it was a limited edition item that came out around the release of the Alice in Wonderland movie with Johnny Depp.

Anyway, I bought it at the time as an avid Alice in Wonderland lover.

When it arrived something strange happened, I would say it launched my makeup birth. I saw the colors of the shadows with all of the glitter and sparkle glory and I fell in love at first sight.

I knew a transformation had taken place and that great things were going to happen. That day I became obsessed with makeup and since then I have added almost 200 eyeshadow palettes to my collection.

What can I say? I have truly found something that I am passionate about and that makes me happy.

This is truly one of my favorite palettes, but ironically it has only been used twice. I love it so much that I don’t want to ruin it. I know it sounds ridiculous.

I decided to use it recently to create a neutral look with a pop of blue, that I call Alice.

To create this look I applied White Rabbit (white shimmer with silver glitter) to my brow bone and inner corner.

Next I applied Muchness (peach gold shimmer) as a transition shade in my crease.

Then I applied Chessur (beige shimmer with silver glitter) in the right half of my crease.

Next I applied Mad Hatter (brown matte with silver sparkle) to my outer v.

Lastly I patted Alice (vibrant blue shimmer) on my lid.

I lined under my eye with White Rabbit, Alice, and Mad Hatter.

I applied Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeliner in Blackest Black to my top lid, Too Faced Lashgasm mascara to my top lashes, L’Oreal’s Lash Out Butterfly mascara on my bottom lashes, and Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet eyeliner in Black Velvet to my waterline.

Have you seen this palette?
