<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1.) <i>Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades in Blushalicious</i>-</b> this is another item I got in my swap with the lovely Seonaid of <a href="http://beautyandbaggage.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Beauty & Baggage</a>, and I've been using the first hot pink shade in particular out of this little blush palette like crazy! The pigmentation isn't that great but I actually like that when I'm going for more of a natural look on my cheeks. Unfortunately I don't think there's anywhere currently to get this in the US!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2.) <i><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/sally-hansen-insta-dri-anti-chip-top-coat/qxp253944" target="_blank">Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat</a> ($5.49)</i>-</b> I bought this a while back in a panic when my Seche Vite ran out and I couldn't make my way over to the beauty supply store to grab another one. I've been pleasantly surprised because Seche Vite was my be all and end all to top coats, but this one from Sally Hansen is a good contender. It doesn't dry quite as quickly, and you have to be careful otherwise you'll end up with obvious brush strokes, but I like that it's not as thick so I can actually get use out of the entire bottle unlike Seche Vite where it's goopy half way through!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3.) <a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/tools/makeup_mist_and_set" target="_blank"><i>e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set</i></a><i> ($3.00)</i>-</b> Recently I've been experimenting with setting sprays since they seem to be a popular makeup item at the moment, and grabbed the e.l.f. one so I could try it without breaking the bank! I don't see any differences with how long my makeup lasts, but I really love to spray this on after my foundation/concealer and I find that it really gives a gorgeous skin like finish, good if you tend to get a little cakey!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4.) <i><a href="http://www.eyeslipsface.com/elf/brushes/single-brushes/eyelash_and_brow_wand" target="_blank">e.l.f. Essentials Eyelash & Brow Wand</a> ($1.00)</i>-</b> After getting tired of trying to use the spoolie brushes that came on the end of old eyebrow products, I finally bought one and I sure as hell wasn't going to spend a lot of money on such a basic item so I turned to e.l.f.! It's been exactly what I needed, sturdy and easy to clean all for $1.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5.)<i> <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/maybelline-instant-age-rewind-eraser-dark-spot-corrector-treatment-light/qxp467269?catid=183548" target="_blank">Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot Corrector + Treatment Concealer in Light</a> ($9.99)</i>-</b> As you guys know I suffer from a lot of hyperpigmentation so any concealer that claims to help that I will be all over! I haven't been using this long enough to notice any changes in my actual dark spots, but it gives excellent buildable coverage in a peachy color to help counteract that blueish/purple color and actually looks <i>natural </i>which is a big plus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>6.) Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Firecracker-</b></i> Unfortunately Revlon just revamped their Super Lustrous Lip Gloss line so this exact shade isn't available anymore (unless you check clearance at the drugstore) but you can check out the new colors <a href="http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Lips/Lipgloss/Revlon-Super-Lustrous-Lipgloss.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>! Firecracker looks like a very jelly red in the tube but comes out as a gorgeous orange shade, perfect for summer.</div>

I picked Vintage Selection thinking you can never have too many of the peachy-beige shades. This one is a bit unique because it has some quite chunky silver glitter to it.</div>

I just opened this tube a couple days ago and I'm really not impressed, it barely gives me any volume and the brush is humongous (I'm not sure if it's the same brush as the LashBlast Volume which oddly enough works fine for me) so I always end up stabbing myself in the eye with it! </div>

I thought I'd do a personal type post today and show you guys the tattoo I got a couple weeks ago on the 2nd!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
This was my very first one, so I knew I wanted to go with something on the smaller side and put it in a place where I could see it all the time. Below the crease of my arm was the perfect choice for placement since my job doesn't really "allow" tattoos (you can get away with smaller ones) and this was I can still cover it easily if need be.<br />
<br />
I got the date "05.10.12" in the font Palace MT Script because that was the day that Ollie my Jack Russell came home last year, you can read about him <b><a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/07/much-due-apology-and-ollie.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>!<br />
<br />
The pain was pretty bad considering the area, it's not on the bone or anything so I didn't think it would feel <i>that </i>bad but trust me it wasn't fun! Only took about 10 minutes but I couldn't look the entire time since I have quite the needle phobia.<br />
<br />
The area was swollen for a good three days, but other than that it healed nicely. There was some intense itchy moments though, thank god for lotion, I must've been applying it every 30 minutes or so on the 4th day with how itchy it was!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's definitely true when they say tattoos are an addiction, I've already been planning a couple more that I want to get!<br />
<br />
Do you guys have any tattoos?<br />

Hey guys, I know I've been pretty absent lately on my blog but I'm going to be making some life update posts soon to fill you in on everything that's been going on!<br />
<br />
On another note, it's crazy to think it's already May and we're almost half way through 2013. I thought New Years was yesterday?! But any who, on to what I've been wearing on my face throughout the April since I feel like I give the time flies speech every month ;)<br />

<b>1. </b><i><b><a href="http://www.sephora.com/product/productDetail.jsp?keyword=naked%20basics&skuId=1458157&productId=P376213&_requestid=166786" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette ($27.00)</a>-</b></i> Everybody and their mother has talked about this product since it came out around the holidays, but trust me, it deserves every mention! It looks pretty plain on first glance, but the colors work together perfectly to create a barely there eye look. On lazy days I've been taking W.O.S. all over my lid, Naked 2 in the crease, Faint to deepen up the outer v, and Venus as a highlight.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. <i>Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light-</i></b> The lovely Seonaid of <b><a href="http://beautyandbaggage.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Beauty and Baggage</a> </b>sent this to me from the UK when we did a swap a few months back (a post to come on that!) and it has been an absolute lifesaver. This stuff will cover anything and everything you need it to, it's pretty much an industrial strength concealer. I do find it a tad drying so you need to make sure to moisturize your face really well before applying your makeup. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anywhere online in the U.S. to order this concealer from but I need to find a site soon because I am running out!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. <i><a href="http://www.sephora.com/clean-slate-poreless-12-hr-perfecting-primer-P310018" target="_blank">tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12-Hr Perfecting Primer (full size $30.00)</a>- </i></b>In a mission to get more use out of all the makeup I've accumulated, I've taken a liking to this primer from tarte. It doesn't do much in terms of helping my makeup stay on longer, but I really like how it fills on my pores and really helps smooth out any dry patches on my face before my foundation</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4. <i><a href="http://www.sephora.com/24-7-glide-on-eye-pencil-P133707?skuId=1499078" target="_blank">Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Whiskey (full size $19.00)</a>-</i></b> This is another sample that I tossed aside a long time ago because I'm not one to really ever use eyeliner, but rediscovering it has sparked an addiction! Most of the time I feel black is too harsh to wear and it really closes off my eyes, so this deep brown shade is perfect to still get that definition. I've been smudging this along my lower lash line on the outer edges and sometimes it does travel a bit (especially on extra hot days) but for the most part it's held up the best out of any eyeliner I've ever tried on my watery eyes. I'm usually not one to pay $19.00 for something as trivial as eyeliner, but i think I'm going to have to get a full size of Whiskey when my sample comes to an end!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been going for a very minimal makeup look lately so there's not very many favorites this month, but I like doing that from time to time so you can really tell how well a product works for you because you're not layering a ton of stuff over it! It's also been a great way to discover some new favorites in my collection that I haven't ever really given a good use before.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day during one of my many Bath & Body Works excursions I realized the one thing I've never bothered to try out from them have been the lip products! I'm not a huge fan of squeeze type glosses which is the majority of what they have (though there are lip balms, ones in tins, and ones with wands) but I bit the bullet and bought some ones I thought would be yummy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4190898" target="_blank">C.O. Bigelow Cinnamint Mentha Lip Shine</a></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>$7.50</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a huge cinnamon fan, when I saw they had cinnamon glosses I was sold! It has a lovely cooling feeling when you apply it and actually also tastes like cinnamon (I didn't eat it I swear! Some always manages to get in my mouth).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12986023" target="_blank">C.O. Bigelow Cinnamint Supreme 2x Lip Gloss</a></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>$8.00</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The difference between the regular Cinnamint Lip Shine and the Supreme 2x is that this one is supposed to have twice the amount of breath fresheners and moisturizers in it. Though I don't notice it being anymore moisturizing, it certainly has a lot more cinnamon to it which in turn does really freshen your breath! They also refer to this one as a "lip gloss" instead of "lip shine", probably because it has a slightly thicker texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12986024&isCrossSell=true" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>C.O. Bigelow Vanillamint Supreme 2x Lip Gloss</b></i></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>$8.00</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a little unsure of how I'd like the vanilla flavor so for this one I skipped getting the regular Lip Shine and went right for the Supreme 2x. It reminds me a bit of a vanilla flavored toothpaste I used to have so it's a little odd! Definitely not my favorite in terms of scent when I have the Cinnamint one, but it still works the same!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12623595" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>C.O. Bigelow Organics Apple Jelly Moisturizing Lip Shine</i></b></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>$7.50</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I don't know about you, but my mouth can't help but water when I hear "Apple Jelly"! The smell is absolutely delicious, it's exactly like the apple flavored Jolly Ranchers. It has a thinner consistency than the other lip glosses which means it does wear off fairly quickly, but I do not mind reapplying when a lip product smells this good! This particular line from C.O. Bigelow called "Organics" is great because the glosses are 91% natural. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12623596" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>C.O. Bigelow Organics Raspberry Jam Moisturizing Lip Shine</i></b></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>$7.50</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another one with a delicious name, Raspberry Jam is just a little bit more tart than Apple Jelly! It has the same exact thin consistency that does require a little bit of upkeep throughout the day. I also noticed when wearing these they add quite a bit of moisture into your lips. Granted it's not as much as you would get from a lip balm, but I've never really worn a gloss that managed to put moisture back into my lips!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with what I've tried so far! I don't think I'll be venturing into any of the other glosses Bath & Body Works carries from the <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=18427626&cp=12587010.12587259.18375206" target="_blank">Liplicious</a> that have shimmer in them, but these are right up my alley because the flavors are fantastic<span style="font-size: small;">, </span>they moisturize, and aren't sticky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're looking into picking up some of these lip glosses Bath & Body Works pretty much always has Buy 2 Get 1 Free going on so you get more bang for your buck!</div>

About a week ago e.l.f. decided to have one of their 50% off their Studio line sales and I took full advantage of it! Don't worry if you missed the sale this time e.l.f. is runs different ones all the time so you'll always get a good deal.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm on a little bit of a secret "no-buy" for makeup right now (I say secret because it's not a set rule for me, I'm just trying to really work my stash and get some use out of what I have for a while) but I allowed myself some new brushes since I always get use out of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Onto the stuff I picked up:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was actually really pleased with how high quality the Stipple Brush is, I was expecting it to be a bit flimsy from how it looked online but it's actually perfect for applying cream products on the face and blending them out nicely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Flawless Concealer Brush is also a bit different than it looks, you might think it's more of just a brush to swipe some powder on under the eyes but it's actually quite dense so it can also be used to work liquid concealers into the under-eye area!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see I went a little crazy with stocking up on plain old flat shader brushes! Those are one item that you really cannot have enough of. I was expecting these to be thinner and less fluffy, it makes me a little nervous that it will add some fall out when I use them with shimmery colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mineral Powder Brush was a bit of a disappointment, I wanted to use it more as a rounded blush brush but it's actually quite small. I'll have to experiment with it for contouring and possibly highlighting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are there any e.l.f. brushes that are essentials for you guys? </div>

If you guys remember last May MAC released their 2012 summer collection called <b><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-hey-sailor-collection-for-summer-2012" target="_blank">Hey, Sailor!</a></b> I scrambled to get my hands on the blush called Fleet Fast because at the time I thought it was pretty unique. Clearly that was not the case since we're here in a dupe post!<br />

Aside from some very minor color differences and a much improved texture, I've found a pretty spot on dupe for Fleet Fast that I find myself reaching for much more often! I'm also including another blush that's not a dupe by definition, but it's within the same family</div>

If you guys remember my <a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/11/my-mac-collection-blushes.html" target="_blank"><b>MAC Blush Collection</b></a> post I did a while back, I talked about all the issues I have with Fleet Fast. It's a stunning coral that leans more on the red side with a satin finish and gold sheen. It takes a bit of effort to build up the color on your cheeks because the pigmentation isn't that great. I'm not someone who usually has issues with blushes fading but I notice that Fleet Fast doesn't last more than 6 hours on my cheeks.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This blush was was sent to me last summer around the same time I picked up Fleet Fast and immediately noticed the similarities between the two. This is one of those products that claims to "adjust to your pH level" so the color is different on everyone, and I don't know how much I believe things that say that because colors look different on everyone regardless! But the Stila Custom Color Blush in Coral is a beautiful bright reddned coral shade with a lot of noticeable sparkle to it. The texture is phenomenal, it's so smooth and unlike Fleet Fast you have to be careful when dipping your brush in here otherwise you'll end up with too much! <br />

<br />
Now when you look at the swatches below in a second you're going to wonder why I'm even including this one as a possible dupe. I know it's not a dupe, but it is similar enough to this color family that I'm throwing it in as another option for those with lighter skin tones or those who are a little bit afraid to jump right into bright corals! The texture of Medium Coral is very stiff and it isn't terribly pigmented, you're going to have to really work your brush into it to get some color. But it does give a beautiful luminous look to your cheeks with the frost. Again it's not the greatest quality but for around $5.00 it's a good way to experiment with coral.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>How do they Compare?</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Side by side you can see <b>MAC Fleet Fast</b> is just a tad more peachy than the <b>Stila Custom Color Blush in Coral</b> which leans more red on me, and then the <b>Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Medium Coral</b> is the odd man out being much lighter, more pink, and a lot frostier.<br />
<br />
On the cheeks Fleet Fast and Custom Color in Coral look virtually identical aside from the fact that Custom Color in Coral has a lot more noticeable sparkle rather than the gold sheen of Fleet Fast.<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Which one is for you?</span></b></i><br />

It's no surprise that I'm slightly (okay, <i>heavily</i>) addicted to Bath & Body Works!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently their True Blue Spa line came out with a new Raspberry collection that consist of three different products: Raspberry Yogurt Shower Smoothie, Raspberry Mojito Cream Gel, and Raspberry Margarita Body Scrub.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went a little crazy when I smelled it and ended up purchasing everything (plus a little more as you can tell)! The scent is so sugary, it almost reminds me of fruity pebbles with that raspberry tang to it. It also has really good lasting power to it when you layer all the products, usually with the True Blue Spa items I find myself having to reapply all day in order to keep the scent but this one has given me no problems!</div>

Okay let's just start off by pointing out that you can't help but drool when you hear "Raspberry Yogurt Shower Smoothie"! This shower gel actually contains yogurt in it so it has a little bit of a milkier scent than the rest of the True Blue Raspberry line, still delicious though! The Shower Smoothie foams up really nicely in the shower but it's still thick enough so you can use it while shaving. It leaves a slight scent to your skin that doesn't last more than an hour unless you follow up with the lotion. I will also say I really like the taller and slimmer packaging here because it makes it easier to grip while you're in the shower!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is quite a unique product, it's a moisturizer in a gel formula. I've tried ones on my face before, but never on my body! It almost has a cooling effect to it when you apply to your skin. I love that it sinks in almost instantly, makes it easy to avoid that "slimy" feeling some lotions can give you. The scent lingers on my skin for at least a day when I put this on, I love that I can still smell the raspberry for a long time because it's that good! Right now the Cream Gel is a little too light on my skin, I need that extra moisture when it's cold outside, but I know I'm going to love breaking this out in the summer!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't met a sugar scrub that I haven't liked and this one is no exception! When you use this scrub the sugar doesn't dissolve too quickly allowing you to really work it in and exfoliate your skin. I do find the lid of the tub to be a bit hard to get off when you're in the shower and your hands are wet, but what screw off product isn't going to have that problem!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I'm really impressed with all the products from the True Blue Raspberry line, I really hope they end up making it permanent and add some other products to it (a lotion with a pump would be nice)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may think the price is a bit steep at $15.00 each, but Bath & Body Works always has their True Blue Spa Line Buy 2 Get 1 Free, so then you'll be spending $30 but you can also use a survey coupon ($10 off a $30 purchase) to make your total only $20, and trust me you won't regret it!</div>

My last post about Pretty & Practical Storage was all about <b><a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/11/pretty-practical-storage-lipsticks.html#more" target="_blank">lipsticks</a></b>, and today's tip is going to help you deal with all those random pencil type products that seem to clutter up your vanity and can roll away if you're not careful!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I know I have things like mascara, brow gel, eyebrow pencils, eyelash curlers, etc. that don't quite have their own place in my makeup collection and are a bit of a hassle to keep somewhere since I need them so often.<br />
<br />
One really easy solution to this is finding some sort of glass (or plastic works too) type jar that is big enough to fit all your lose products!<br />
<br />
Even if you hate the "cluttered" look that a clear type vase like this can give off once it starts filling up you can get an opaque one in a fun color that will hide the random assortment of stuff you have going on inside. <br />
<br />
I got this jar inparticular from a thrift store for only $1.50! It's not hard to find them at second hand stores or I've even seen glass containers at CVS for under $5.00!<br />

Being the little makeup hoarder that I am, I've noticed that Revlon seems to dominate my lip products!<br />
<br />
I thought it'd be helpful to start "collection" posts where I swatch through the ones that I own since I probably have more than is recommended ;)<br />

I'm not the biggest fan of matte lipsticks in general because we all know they can be drying, but Revlon knows how to do matte the right way! These don't have a heavy, almost cracking feeling to them. They aren't moisturizing but definitely don't leave my lips parched throughout the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pink About It</b> is a beautiful medium yellow based pink that's a classic Spring/Summer shade and surprisingly easy to wear because sometimes pink lip shades can look a little funky on me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Strawberry Suede</b> is one of the most gorgeous red shades that pulls a bit pink in comparison to other true reds. I don't break out a red lip very often but when I do I grab this one, it brings such a brightness to your entire face!<br />

One of the best part of the holidays that many people forget about are the sales that happen afterwards!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently on a little trip to <a href="http://www.christopherandbanks.com/home/index.jsp" target="_blank">Christopher & Banks</a> I came across two of the cutest pair of earrings in the 50% off bin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were originally $12.95 each but I only paid $5.00 a pair, which is an absolute steal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can still wear these earrings now that it's winter because they aren't too Christmas related and I'm very impressed with the quality, most earrings I buy make my ears hurt a bit from the metal but so far no issues with these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So keep your eyes peeled when you're out shopping because you never know what little deals you're going to come across!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i><b>Emily's answer:</b> Any type of all purpose salve is what I stick do during the cold months, I even did a post last month about <a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/11/salve-obsession.html" target="_blank">my obsession with them</a> (I've even accumulated more since then)! It's just the easiest way to get my lips to stock cracking and if any other areas on my skin are feeling dry I can pop it on there too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Revlon's Nail Enamel in Posh is one of those colors you just kinda stop and do a double take when you see it because it's a gorgeous bright kelly green!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the most part I like the design of the bottle because if you're someone who stores your nail polishes side by side in a drawer or some other compartment you'll still be able to see the color when looking at it from above. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The brush is nothing special, almost a tad on the small side but I like that because it makes it easier to get closer to get closet to the side of your nail without hitting skin and making a mess. The bristles are long enough that you don't have to worry about it being stiff and making streaks. Also, unlike some other nail polish brushes I haven't had any issues with the brush splaying.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're looking for the perfect not too thick but not runny consistency in a nail polish, this is it. Two coats and Posh is perfectly opaque with absolutely no bubbling. Usually I have issues with polishes being either too thick and it globs, or too thin and it runs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The drying time between coats was pretty average, only took a minute before I felt okay putting another coat on.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The biggest downfall to Posh is the wear time. This polish chipped within 12 hours of me putting it on, and I wasn't even doing anything that you would expect to cause chips! By the end of the day my nails looked like I had been wearing this Revlon Nail Enamel for about a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A good formula is no good if it wears off in less than day, if you want a color like Posh I'd suggest looking for a dupe in another brand!<br />

If you've been involved in the online beauty community for a while you know there's always certain products/shades that are often talked about and <i>impossible </i>to find! Two little gems that happen to fall under that category are Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipsticks in Black Cherry and Cherries in The Snow (funny they both happen to have cherry related names).<br />

I have been on the hunt for these babies for the longest time. Every drugstore that I happen to check for them the little slot they're supposed to be in is always empty or the last one has been opened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Cherries in the Snow</b> is a gorgeous pink-y red shade that I've found myself reaching for constantly during the holiday season (and even now that it's over). It's not quite a super wam-bam red shade that takes a lot of guts to put on and walk out of the house, it's a little bit more subdued with the pink undertone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Black Cherry</b> looks very intimidating in the tube but from the swatch you can see it's a beautiful purple wine shade that was totally on trend in the fall (why couldn't I have found this earlier?!). I'll admit I haven't quite found the confidence to wear this one yet but I still love looking at it in the tube for now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first experience with the Super Lustrous line from Revlon and it was not disappointing! You guys know I'm a huge fan of the ColorBurst Lipsticks as they're like my holy grail (I've been hearing rumors it's been discontinued though and they aren't on Revlon's website anymore!) so I'm always weary to try new lipsticks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the Super Lustrous line is super similar to the ColorBurst, I actually find them way more moisturizing and the color selection is amazing. So am I really sad the ColorBurst line is possibly discontinued? No because these are <i>even better</i>!</div>

Hey guys, I know I've been lacking in the post department this month but the Holiday season is in full swing and I'm mobbed with work! I'm trying my best to update as much as I can but by the time I get home pretty much the only thing I want to do is sleep for a million hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But anyway, I'm showing you my November favorites! I've been trying to pick up products I haven't used in a while this month just to switch up my routine because we all know we can get stuck in a rut using the same makeup over and over again.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBJeMbjzIrJn1m3gsGA9UAEtUS1OGd0wN2nBe8oRzhjHjKLKDXB0wj3sBsPD4MkkGrHFDKA65a_OgViNyVJX6jdgFeBiLy9xQ8OOPPRIB-DVl13wNaaSbtCnsu-7drqXWvSd45K2xHRPc/s1600/BeFunky_DSC_0119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBJeMbjzIrJn1m3gsGA9UAEtUS1OGd0wN2nBe8oRzhjHjKLKDXB0wj3sBsPD4MkkGrHFDKA65a_OgViNyVJX6jdgFeBiLy9xQ8OOPPRIB-DVl13wNaaSbtCnsu-7drqXWvSd45K2xHRPc/s640/BeFunky_DSC_0119.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> 1.</b><i><b> <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=258009&catid=183591&trxp1=35873&aid=338791" target="_blank">Nivea Visage Eye Makeup Remover ($7.99)-</a></b></i> This was one of the items I bought in my <a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/11/drugstorecom-haul.html" target="_blank">Drugstore.com haul</a> ages ago, and I know this might surprise some people but it's the first makeup remover I've ever used!<i><b> </b></i>It makes my life so much easier at the end of the day, I can just hold a cotton pad over my eye for a few seconds and eyeshadow/mascara just slides right off.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. </b><i><b>Smashbox Master Class Eyeshadow Quad in Brown ($10.00, limited edition)- </b></i>I <a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/08/smashbox-master-class-eyeshadow-quad-in.html" target="_blank">reviewed</a> this a while ago as one of many impulse purchases I've made because it was so cheap, I<b> </b>decided to get more use out of this little quad! The shade that has actually been my favorite is the beige, it's wonderful for fixing any problems with your crease color (you either go too dark, extend it too far, etc.) and makes it look perfectly blended.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. </b><a href="http://www.ecotools.com/shop-collection/cosmetic-accessories/face-tools/buffing-brush" target="_blank"><i><b>Eco Tools Buffing Brush ($6.99)-</b></i> </a>I'm a huge fan of the <a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Sigma_Flat_Top_Synthetic_Kabuki_F_80_p/f80.htm" target="_blank">Sigma F80</a>, but that sucker is a pain in the butt to try and get completely clean when you use liquid foundation. I would love to pick up another one but not when they're $18.00 a brush! The Eco Tools Buffing Brush was the next best thing I could find at the drugstore, and although it's not as soft as the Sigma brush, I've been in love with it. The smaller shape really makes it easier to get foundation around my temples and nose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> 4.</b> <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/black-radiance-complexion-perfection-shine-control-primer/qxp362045?catid=183551" target="_blank"><i><b>Black Radiance Complexion Perfection Shine Control Primer ($5.99)-</b></i></a> If you know G from <a href="http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2010/03/review-black-radiance-complexion.html" target="_blank">Nouveau Cheap</a>, you know this is her holy grail face primer! I wanted to try something a little different from my usual smoothing silicone primer just because although those do make your face baby soft, it doesn't actually help me throughout the day. It's almost a bit tacky when I put it on so I feel it's almost like an eyelid primer, gives your foundation a base to stick to!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> 5. </b><i><b><a href="http://www.cherryculture.com/cosmetics/makeup/nyx/nyx-powder-blush/16203&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">NYX Powder Blush in Peach ($4.50)-</a> </b></i>Despite the name being "peach" this color is actually a cool matte pink! With me diving more into smokey-er eyes lately I need to tone it down somewhere and with this blush from NYX it never looks like I'm too overdone. I'm not crazy about the texture, it's a little chalky but the color is worth it to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's it, my favorites for the month of November! Again I'm sorry if I don't put up new posts as frequently right now, but things will get back on track soon. I hope you guys all have a very happy Holiday season :)! </div>

<b>Emily's answer:</b> for the most part I don't really like to collect a lot of makeup in my purse because then I forget about it when I'm doing mine in the morning!

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bath & Body Works is coming out with a new limited edition (I believe) fragrance called <b><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=15725886&kwCatId=&cm_vc=200" target="_blank">Sparkling Blackberry Woods</a></b>! There was a special preview day on November 24th where you could purchase the lotion for only $5.00, so of course I grabbed it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not the best at describing scents and of course everything is going to smell different to everyone and on everyone, but I'm going to try and tell you guys my first impressions of Sparkling Blackberry Woods and how it wears on me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div id="product-overview" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Moisturize with a mystic mix of winter
berries and warm woods, immersed in our exclusive hydrating formula.
Skin-softening shea butter, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E deliver all-day
moisture, making it the perfect everyday lotion.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i> Sparkling Blackberry Woods fragrance notes:</i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Top:</b> Juicy Blackberry, Sparkling Mandarin, Succulent Raspberry</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Mid:</b> Honeysuckle Petals, Vanilla Orchid, Blushed Peony</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Dry:</b> Cocoa Woods, Caramel Patchouli, Warm Musk</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sparkling Blackberry Woods scared me a bit when I first heard of it because I don't particularly care for the heaviness of their other scent <b><a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4304795&cm_sp=FO-_-Body+%26+Bath-_-Twilight+Woods" target="_blank">Twilight Woods</a></b>. But I've been pleasantly surprised with how much I like it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you first take a whiff of Sparkling Blackberry Woods it's almost as if you've stepped into a fancy French desserts store, the vanilla and caramel patchouli create a sophisticated cake scent (if that's even possible)! The longer you smell it the more notes start to chime in and it becomes very complex. After the initial sweetness, the berries come out giving a fruity edge though you can't really decipher any specific fruit as they all mesh nicely together. Then the peony and honeysuckle create a lightness to Sparkling Blackberry Woods that you wouldn't expect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I thought this fragrance was more of a fall/winter scent because of the richness but then you get more of the floral on the skin and it becomes light and playful. Don't be scared off by the initial sweetness, I promise that it lightens up and you get more of the fruit once it has time to sit! To me, Sparkling Blackberry Woods smells similar to <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4379380&cp=12586965.12587147.12587160&view=all" target="_blank"><b>Secret Wonderland</b></a> but lacks the tart strawberry, they both seem to die down in the same way on my skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get about 5 or 6 hours of fragrance on my skin before Sparking Blackberry Woods fades to the point where it's only a little bit of vanilla and berry on my skin. I cannot wait to get my hands on the Shower Gel and Fine Fragrance Mist to see how long I can get this to last because I'm in love with this scent! The bottle design is very elegant as well, I like the pink and purple combination.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So you'll also notice I picked up a 2nd bottle of lotion to do a giveaway with!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you guys know, I work in retail so Black Friday was absolutely <i>crazy</i>! The mall where I work had some stores actually opening on Thanksgiving. I was scheduled for 4:30 in the morning, which was terrible because I could not manage to fall asleep so I was basically dealing with cranky customers during an all nighter!<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did actually enjoy working because there wasn't a moment where you didn't have something to do, so the day completely flew by. But people we're pretty push and shove (even to employees) so it was a battlefield!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got out of work at 1:00 pm so I was not itching to go shopping but Bath & Body Works was certainly somewhere I had my heart set on going because they were doing $5 Wallflower 2-Pack Refills! I've recently been into home fragrance so I didn't want to miss out (<a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=13142700&cp=12586994.15665646&view=all" target="_blank">and Wallflower 2-Pack Refills are currently $6 online and in stores right now</a>)!</div>

Hey guys, I know I've been on a little hiatus (I work in retail and Black Friday was SO not fun, took a lot out of me) but I'm getting back on track and continuing <a href="http://www.blogger.com/My%20MAC%20Collection:%20Blushes" target="_blank">My MAC Collection</a> series with my Paint Pots!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It's kind of impossible to be a part of the beauty community and not hear about these cream shadows, they've created quite a name for themselves. Most people love to use Painterly or Soft Ochre as an eyeshadow primer because Paint Pots are supposed to be super long wearing and prevent creasing.<br />

<a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/154/1573/Products/Eyes/Shadow/Paint-Pot/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><b><i>Groundwork ($18.50, permanent)-</i></b></a> this particular Paint Pot and I have such a love/hate relationship. I bought this one the same time as Treasure Hunt and Idyllic (around this time last year) and as you can see it's starting to get dried out. I treat these things like my babies so I know it's not from error on my part, but Groundwork is much drier in texture than any other Paint Pot I own. I will say though that makes it fantastic to wear throughout the day, it will <i>not </i>crease on you, even without a primer and even without a shadow over it.The color is a beautiful taupe that's too not too purple and it looks matte but Groundwork actually has a subtle sheen to it.</div>

<a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/154/1573/Products/Eyes/Shadow/Paint-Pot/index.tmpl" target="_blank"><b><i>Indianwood ($18.50, permanent)-</i></b></a> I love this Paint Pot so much, it was a gift for my birthday from my brother (with a little persuasion on my part) in July of 2011! My first Paint Pot ever, it certainly has the most use out of my entire cream eyeshadow collection. It's a stunning metallic bronze, almost orange shade that would seriously flatter anyone with blue eyes. I love that Indianwood is such a versatile cream shadow, it really transforms to whatever eyeshadow you put over it so it works for any gold, brown, or beige shades. Indianwood has such a creamy texture, it's a breeze to blend but requires a bit of layering if you want to wear it on it's own because it can be a little sheer. I never wear Indianwood without a primer under it and a shadow on top of it because it does tend to crease on my eyes with such a creamy formula. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Treasure Hunt ($18.50, limited edition)-</b></i> This Paint Pot was part of the Posh Paradise collection from last September, which was so up my alley because it was full of new Paint Pots! I regret not picking up more from that collection, but still thankful I got my hands on Treasure Hunt. This is an incredibly creamy Paint Pot that has a lot of slip to it so it's really not suitable for wearing on it's own (not to mention it's a little on the sheer side) but is incredible for enhancing any gold eyeshadow. I pair this one with Urban Decay's Half Baked all the time and always get compliments. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Idyllic ($18.50, limited edition)-</i></b> Also part of the Posh Paradise collection, Idyllic is one of those products I kick myself for buying. A couple months after I bought this Maybelline came out with their Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadows and a shade called Pomegranate Punk which looks very similar to Idyllic. <a href="http://blushingnoir.com/2012/01/maybelline-tough-as-taupe-and-pomegranate-punk-eye-studio-color-tattoo-24hr-cream-gel-shadow-swatches-review-and-comparisons/" target="_blank">Blushing Noir does a lovely comparison</a> of both of them, and I seriously wish I had skipped Idyllic because Paint Pots are not cheap! I mean don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful color and has a good creamy texture but I prefer to save money where I can when dupes are spot on like that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So that is my collection of Paint Pots! It's hit or miss in terms of texture, if you want that's a little drier that will last all day Groundwork is it, for just basis shades like Indianwood are awesome. I do wish MAC would expand their permanent Paint Pots though because they are lacking a nice color selection and some of them are pretty generic.<br />
<br />
I have a bunch of Maybelline's Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadows which are very similar in texture, and even a little better in their lasting power if you're on a budget and looking for something similar (not to mention they come in all sorts of fun shades)! <br />
<br />
Have you guys ever tried Paint Pots?<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Question of the Week:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What's your least expensive beauty item, and is it any good?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Emily's answer:</b> I have a ton of products that are inexpensive in my collection, probably the cheapest ones I own are <a href="http://massachusettsmask.blogspot.com/2012/03/wet-n-wild-color-icon-eyeshadow-trio-in.html" target="_blank">Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios</a>! They're $2.99 but I always buy them on sale so they are even cheaper, if you can believe that! I really love how soft the shadows are, they certainly don't lack in pigmentation, and come in every color you could ever need. I would certainly pay a lot more for the quality of those shadows!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You guys should probably know, I'm obsessed with owls! I love any kind of home decor with them on it, so when I saw this Scentportable at Bath & Body Works during my last trip it had to be mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't already know what Scentportables are, they're little holders for Fragrance Refills that you buy to put in them. I love to use these things in my closet, car, and in my laundry basket because although they don't give off a ton of scent, it's just enough to keep everything from being stinky!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div id="product-overview" style="text-align: center;">
Radiate your fave fragrances into all the
spaces of your life, without a plug, battery or flame. The built-in clip
base allows SCENTPORTABLE to hang, sit or rest on virtually any
surface.</div>
<ul class="bullet" id="pad-content" style="text-align: center;">
<li>Perfect for your car, closet, drawers, luggage, gym bag, pet area or laundry basket</li>
<li>Use it to fill your home with your fave fragrance</li>
<li>Fragrance refill sold separately</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcJc2srYU5PgkAYt4QpFGN0x1E4t8nnUOSR_s-SuTBOz4qGVDzPzP5LtpAlVs7mmmFMhyVfbmOm0h2KQv7mE-GPIgkHjSsw21mUPnUxzWqWv9VuFvZ-TccZQNLt2OKv-fIoEPNsVO_jO1/s1600/BeFunky_DSC_0027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcJc2srYU5PgkAYt4QpFGN0x1E4t8nnUOSR_s-SuTBOz4qGVDzPzP5LtpAlVs7mmmFMhyVfbmOm0h2KQv7mE-GPIgkHjSsw21mUPnUxzWqWv9VuFvZ-TccZQNLt2OKv-fIoEPNsVO_jO1/s640/BeFunky_DSC_0027.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Owl Scentportable was only $4.00 and he flaps his little wings when you move his tail side to side!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked the <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13115425&cp=12586994.12936200.4147330" target="_blank">Spiced Cider Fragrance Refill</a> and it is honestly beyond delicious, I had to move it off my desk because I was constantly smelling it! It's perfect mix of crisp apples and nutmeg, nothing better for this time of year. It's been sitting in my closet now for about a month and still going strong, definitely worth the $7.00 total I spent!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't find this particular one on the website but when I ran into my Bath & Body Works a few days ago they still had a whole shelf filled with Owls so if you want one head down to your store quickly because I have a feeling these are going fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's also a lot of <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4147330&cm_sp=FO-_-Home+%26+Candles-_-Scentportables+&cp=12586994.12936200" target="_blank">other holiday Scentportables</a> you can choose from right now, from Polar Bears to Penguins with earmuffs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever tried one of these before?<br />
