Going Rogue for Lovelies

As I have made abundantly clear the whole lipstick/lipgloss rule of 2011 has proved to be a complete failure. I did however feel that the sticking with my 3 favorite brands as well a small budget for unexpected perfection from a few random lines would not be a problem. Well I have now blasted that budget out of the water as well.

While I was at Sephora I also picked up this lovely Buxom lipstick, Nantucket. It is a lovely peachy nude that I am totally grooving on for summer.

While I was on my way through Dillard's I saw MK, the former Dior counter manger who is now a rep for the Michael Marcus line out of Dallas. She was so excited about this line and as usual I was intrigued by all the color. Before I knew it I was in the chair and the fun commenced. Aside from color this line is known (unknown to me as well as the internet as I was unable to find anything anywhere on any blogs or sites) for is their primer. It is a pot of tinted primer available in three colors and MK used number 2 on me. It felt wonderful on, very smooth yet provided a natural coverage that just perfected my skin. At the top of the bridge on the way home, the absolute best place to judge makeup I was indeed impressed However I am not sure how I feel about spending $66.00 for it. The line also has some amazingly lovely blushes and I am still somewhat longing for the Tropical blush. It was a really lovely color that would look super on the cheek as well as a shadow. Tropical is a bronzey yet coppery with flashes of coral pot of loveliness. I really think I need it. I however chose Blossom lipgloss as my toe dip into the line.

Absolutely lovely and it is more of a lipstick rather than a typical gloss consistency. The color  is amazing and I am in love with it.

Finally, some Mally...

I have seen her over the years on QVC and have always been a bit gun-shy of trying the line. Several weeks back I saw her presenting a collection that almost made me pull the trigger but I resisted. Yet I couldn't stop thinking about the blush/highlighter duo that was part of the kit. I decided to stalk Ebay till it appeared for a reasonable price (along with the brush) and the eagle has now landed....

I am over the moon with these two little pans of absolute glowing perfection. One of things that I have observed while watching Mally on TV is that they are always going on about the glow. Well, now I get it. The blush is called Afterglow and it is a rather lovely peachy pink, the highlighter is Purelight and it is, literally. Together they combine to absolute amazing perfection and my cheeks seem to be glowing from within. There is no sparkle nor glitter just glowing perfection.
I am a believer and dare I say a brand new fan-girl?
