DUPE: MAC Hey, Sailor! Blush in Fleet Fast

If you guys remember last May MAC released their 2012 summer collection called Hey, Sailor! 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!

A Very Late November Favorites!

 

 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.

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.

My MAC Collection: Blushes

Hey guys, I want to start doing these little "My Collection" posts as sort of a way I can do a makeup collection without actually doing it because that would be one massive post!

I thought I'd start off with my MAC blushes since

 1. MAC is a popular brand that people are curious about the quality of and 

2. it's no secret that I will hoard anything and everything related to blush!

October Favorites

So in October I've really been toning down my makeup, going down the more natural route. I've been sticking to matte or at least satin shadows on my eyes, light pink cheeks, and browny-pink lips. I was kinda digging it while this little natural kick lasted, but now I'm so incredibly ready to bust out the glittery eyes and red lips for the holidays!

e.l.f. Studio Blush in Tickled Pink: Review, Photos, & Swatches

The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!

Apply to the apples of the cheeks or any other area you wish to highlight.

Where to Buy: eyeslipsface.com, $3.00

The e.l.f. Studio Blush in Tickled Pink ($3.00 for .168 oz.) is a neutral medium pink blush that looks like it has a hint of shimmer in the pan but turns up matte on the skin. I've had this particular color in my collection for a while and its surprising how much I dislike it considering how well the other e.l.f. Studio Blushes perform!

Sleek Haul!

 Ever since I've seen the gorgeous looking Sleek blushes be used on YouTube and more recently the Sleek Blush by 3 palettes reviewed on blogs I have been itching to make an order!

Haulin' It!

 

I recently finished up a few makeup items (an empties post coming soon!) so I treated myself to a little online Sephora order after lusting over some items, and got around to using a gift card Apothica they so kindly sent me!

Apothica Goodies

 

Ahh, there's nothing like that feeling of getting a nice new package in the mail!

A while ago Apothica sent me a giftcard to their website, so I decided to pick out some products I wouldn't normally go for.

Stila

Holiday '11 Daydream Eyeshadow Palette

$14.00

I've never really been drawn to trying Stila's powder eyeshadows, I have a Smudge Pot in Kitten from them (which I LOVE) but eh, this palette was on sale and I thought what the heck, $14.00 for 22 eyeshadows that are mostly wearable is a bargain! I swatched some of these and the pigmentation is pretty lacking, but this palette is just so freaking gorgeous looking I can't help but love it. I figure it'll be good for those natural days. The only thing I really don't like about this Stila Palette is its size, its HUGE, and will never fit in my makeup drawers!

Convertible Color in Gladiola
$24.80

I swear I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I just cannot stop buying orange things! Something about that color has been calling my name over and over again. Everyone really raves about these Convertible Colors, they're supposed to be good for your cheeks and lips. I don't actually own any other cream blushes (which is what I intend on using this for) because I worry about them on my oily skin, but I'll let you know how this works out for me. I did swatch this, and its really not as intense as it looks, you can really sheer it out to your desired color!

theBalm

Bahama Mama
$19.00

Now just so you know, I'm totally the girl who's anti-bronzer, I've never bought one before this as I just really don't care if I look tan. But recently I've been wanting to add some shape to my face and try contouring, so on a whim, I thought I'd try this out even though I've heard amazing things about the $2.99 N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny! I've tried this out on my face, and I don't really like how it looks? It turned out kinda muddy, but it was my first attempt at contouring so maybe it just needs some practice! On a side note, I thought this bronzer was going to be much bigger, does anyone else get that size disappointment when they get stuff in the mail?!

Shady Lady Shadow in Luscious Lani
$8.00 (its actually not on sale anymore, sorry! $16.00)


Not that I actually needed anymore shadows after the huge Stila palette, but these were on sale so of course I wanted to try them! This color is a shimmery, almost pink color? Depending on your undertones it could lean more pink or more peach. I like this, it was pretty buttery when swatched and would work well as a highlight or a lid color, so it'll get some use!

Shady Lady Shadow in Shameless Shana

$8.00 (its actually not on sale anymore, sorry! so $16.00)


Again, it was a sale, I had to! This shade is much darker than Luscious Lani, its like a nice bronze. I figure this will make a good crease color, or even a liner. It had a nice texture when I swatched it, nothing too special in terms of color or formula, just kind of another eyeshadow!

Little MAC Haul

I actually ended up returning a MAC Studio Fix Powder (didn't do anything for me, ended up looking cakey no matter how I applied it/doesn't have enough coverage) and a MAC Lipstick in Creme d' Nude (absolutely RUBBISH! Never ever again will I buy a high-end lipstick, not moisturizing at all and sinks into every line on my lips, Revlon makes SUCH better lipsticks for half the price).

So with my store credits I decided to branch out and try something other than MAC eye products (which seems to be all I go for lately) and grab a blush and a primer!

I was looking at the new Shop MAC Cremeblend Blush in Optimistic Orange, but its way darker in person (think burnt orange) and looks an awful lot like the NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Orange, so I think I'm going to save my money and go for that one since its only $5.50 on Cherry Culture (on a side note, does anyone know where you can get NYX in stores besides Ulta?! There isn't one in my area).

No other cream blushes caught my attention, so I went on looking at the powders. I knew I wanted something orange and close to my everyday Physicians Formula Blushing Peach, but without the shimmer. The lovely Makeup Artist recommended Peaches which is a sheertone, and it ended up coming home with me! I really love the color in the pan, but it takes a little bit of building to make it show up on me (I'm only a MAC NW 20) so I don't know, I'm going to play around with it a bit and if it doesn't get any better I'll exchange it for Melba.

Lately my skin has been going through some ups and downs, some days my foundation will look like I just put it on after 6 hours, and some days its a blotchy mess after 2 hours! This led me over to the primer section of MAC, and when I saw the words "MATTE" I knew it was for me! I've tried out the MATTE Cream a few times, and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. My face is still really oily after like an hour, but my skincare routine has been changing a little so maybe that's the real problem.

I'm going to do full reviews on these two things, so I'll let you guys know how they end up working out for me!

My Christmas Beauty Gifts!

DUPE: Clinique Blushing Blush Powder in Aglow

 

 I recently got a little sample version of Clinique's Blushing Blush Powder in "Aglow" in my stocking for Christmas, and I couldn't help but notice it looks a lot like e.l.f.'s Studio Blush in "Peachy Keen"!

Clinique's full-size blush in Aglow costs $20.00 while e.l.f.'s blush in Peachy Keen is only $3.00

As you can see in the swatch, Aglow is a little more gold and Peachy Keen is more of a lighter peach color but they both have the exact same shimmery finish.

The Clinique blush has a smoother texture, is more pigmented, and has a longer wear time while the e.l.f. blush is a tad chalky, requires some building, and wears off in about 3 hours.

But if you're looking to save $17.00 and don't mind the difference in fomula, definitely check out e.l.f.'s Studio Blush in Peachy Keen, there's absolutely no difference in color when its on your face!

Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Peach"

Description

• A beautiful mosaic of complementary hues to contour and accentuate cheekbones with soft color and discreet shimmer.
• It’s the perfect combination of colors that blend together to naturally enhance your cheekbones.
• The finest Italian talc provides a silky-smooth application that blends easily without streaking or irritating sensitive skin. 

Hypoallergenic. Fragrance-Free. Dermatologist Approved. Oil-Free.

Net Wt. 0.17 Oz/5g
Price :  $10.95

Directions

• Using a soft powder brush, sweep over entire palette to evenly blend colors.
• Tap excess powder from brush before applying.
• Brush over cheekbones to define and contour or apply right below cheekbones for a more defined and dramatic look.

Ingredients 

TALC, ZEA MAYS (CORN) STARCH, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE, OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE, ZINC STEARATE, DIMETHICONE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, BHT, TETRASODIUM EDTA, SORBIC ACID, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, BUTYLPARABEN. MAY CONTAIN: MICA, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, IRON OXIDES, CARMINE, ULTRAMARINES, MANGANESE VIOLET, FERRIC FERROCYANIDE, BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE, CHROMIUM OXIDE GREENS, CHROMIUM HYDROXIDE GREEN, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 6 LAKE, RED 6, RED 7 LAKE, RED 30 LAKE, BLUE 1.  

Pros:

-There's minimal shimmer in this blush, it translates to more of a glow on your cheeks so you look very fresh

-This blush is very travel friendly since it has a large mirror and a little brush

-I absolutely love the shade of peach this blush turns out to be, I usually find some peach blushes to lean too brown, but this one is a very true peach that will flatter many skin tones!

-The texture of "Blushing Peach" is super smooth, not at all chalky

-Because its so smooth, this blush blends like a dream

-Though the chunky plastic packaging isn't the prettiest thing to look at, it definitely protects the product really well (mine has hit the floor a few time and hasn't shattered or even chipped once)!

Cons:

-This blush usually retails for $10.95 (I got mine during a sale) which in my opinion is just WAY too much for something from the drugstore
-I think the silver and plastic packaging is pretty darn ugly, it just doesn't look cute when sitting on your vanity
-I don't like that you have to push the little button to get the blush to open, sometimes it gets stuck and its just a hassle
-The blush itself has a very old school "cosmetic-y" smell to it (can't smell anything when its actually on your cheeks)

-The way Physicians Formula packages their products in stores is really flawed, there's a little window cut out on the box that has no barrier between it and the actual blush, so the likelihood that you're going to be able to find one that's not already all banged up is very slim

-The packaging is pretty deceiving, it looks like you're getting a ton of product, but all that extra room is actually just the little compartment for the brush

-The "Blushing Peach" shade is fairly sheer, you really need to swirl your brush around to grab enough color and even then it still requires some building on the cheeks

-The lasting power isn't that great, you'll get a solid 4-5 hours of wear before things start to fade

-I personally don't care for the packaging, silver products always look cheap/show wear and tear a lot faster (go for something classic like black Physicians Formula!)

-The little brush that comes in the compartment is quite scratchy, but I guess it could work if you were in a pinch

-There's little holes in the bottom of the compartment, if you use the brush that comes with the blush and put it back in the compartment some product will go through the holes (not the best if you keep this in your purse or makeup bag)

Overall:

The Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Peach" has become a daily staple for me, it goes with pretty much every look and gives my face a nice glow! I would say pick this blush up only if you can grab it during a sale (I'm talking like 40% off Physicians Formula) otherwise I think you're getting ripped off by a drugstore product. I only paid $1.00 for this blush back when there was a big Physicians Formula sale going on at CVS and I had a bunch of coupons, but if you're even thinking about shelling out at least $10.95 on a drugstore product, you mine as well spend another $10.00 and just grab something high end like a MAC blush since they're much more pigmented and long lasting!

September Favorites!

 Stila Smudge Pot in "Kitten"

For some reason I've been REALLY into cream shadows this month (it must be the MAC Posh Paradise collection with the 8 new Paint Pots, I need to get me some of those)! "Kitten" is a super neutral champagne color that is quite shimmery so it completely brightens up the eye area. I've been sweeping this across my lid pretty much every day  in September (or some days using it as a base for the Wet n Wild trio colors since their lasting power isn't strong) with the brown shade in the Wet n Wild "Walking On Eggshells" Trio in the crease. I never get any creasing with this Stila Smudge Pot when I put my Too Faced Shadow Insurance underneath, so its a complete winner in my books!

e.l.f. Studio Blush in "Peachy Keen"

I've been in quite the blush-rut this month, nothing has been striking me fancy lately (which is such a shocker since my blush collection is massive...) so I've been sticking to some lighter, shimmery colors. "Peachy Keen" barely shows up on my skin, but it does give the most gorgeous glow that looks like almost nothing is there! The staying power is not so great, but I will definitely compromise on that for the lovely sheen I get from this color!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin in "180 Sand Beige"

This is the first liquid foundation I've tried in a long, long time since I'm usually too afraid I'll get oily throughout the day, but this is a new holy grail item! I'm absolutely in love with how much coverage you can get from this Revlon ColorStay foundation, it covers everything you can imagine but can also be sheered out for those days you don't need full-coverage. As long as I set this with a powder I'm good to go for about 2 hours without the need to blot (that is massively long for me)! This will surely be a favorite for months to come.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Trio in "Walking on Eggshells"

My absolute favorite shade from this trio is the brown, its a dream to blend and is so incredibly pigmented! I've been throwing it in my crease this entire month, while also sometimes using the shimmery white and pink-champagne color on occasions when I want to mix it up. As long as I use a base and primer with these shadows I'm good to go all day. For only $2.99 you really can't go wrong!

TOCCA Eau de Parfum "Stella"

I got this as a sample with an order I made online and it has completely replaced all my Bath & Body Works goodies! Its definitely more of a "mature" smell, nothing fruity, more floral-y and musk-y. I would love to purchase the full-size of this perfume, but everywhere I look its super expensive. If you know of anywhere I can get it for a decent price, let me know!

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tin

Just like my recent cream eyeshadow kick, I've been loving lip tins! The Burt's Bees one is great because it has peppermint oil in it which gives your lips that tingly effect that I love! And of course, just like every other Burt's Bees lip product, its incredibly moisturizing which is what I need now that the weather is starting to get colder!

Walgreens & Rite Aid Haul

So I spent my Saturday doing a little drugstore shopping while the rest of Massachusetts was preparing for hurricane Irene!

I was honestly more worried about the large spider that decided to make its new home in the lamp above my bed (and the general increase of those vile creatures in my room...) than the hurricane. I've been through my fare share of terrible weather in the past so not much phases me anymore! Other than a mass amount of flooding, nothing much happened in my area, but I hope everyone else made it through safe and sound!

Anyways, I took advantage of Walgreens' 40% off Revlon sale and Rite Aid's 40% off Wet N Wild sale.

Walgreens:

Revlon ColorStay Combination/Oily Skin in 220 Natural Beige

Price: $8.09

I've come to the conclusion that I desperately need more coverage than a powder foundation gives, but something that still has oil control properties. I've heard nothing but fab things about Revlon foundations in general, so the 40% off sale was just extra incentive to try it out! I will say though the shade selection was a little weak, a lot of the colors had yellow undertones, but 220 Natural Beige seems like it will be a good match for my N5-NW20 skin.

Clean & Clear Boost Mango & Papaya Morning Burst Body Wash

Price: $.99

This was one of those things that caught my eye as I was checking out with its lovely neon orange packaging (damn those strategically placed items...). I already have the little sample size of the blue Splash body wash (not my fave, review of that coming up) so I thought I'd give this one a chance since I'll be needing a little body wash when I go to visit my dad for 10 days in a couple of weeks. I'm very pleased with my impulse purchase since this smells absolutely divine!

Rite Aid:

 Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color in Think Pink

Price: $1.79

I've been trying to get into more pink makeup instead of sticking to my trusty corals, so I thought I'd give this lipstick a try while it was on sale! I have since tried it out and think its total rubbish! The damn cap was pretty much screwed on, so that was a battle in itself, but then I tried to twist the lipstick bullet up and it wouldn't budge...completely fail in the packaging department Wet n Wild. When I did manage to get the color on my lips it looked rank, totally splotchy and cakey.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher in Pearlescent Pink

Price: $1.79

I have the other 3 Wet n Wild Color Icon Blushers and adore them, so it only made since to pick up the only one I don't have! I think this is going to make a great summer to fall transition color since it does have some brown in it but still a nice amount of shimmer.

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells

Price: $1.79

Everyone and their mother raves about the Wet N Wild eyeshadow trios, so I thought it was about time I jumped on the bandwagon! I bought all of the neutral trios since I knew I just wouldn't use any of the ones with the brighter shades. I have yet to open any of these, but the colors looking stunning!

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in I'm Getting Sunburned

Price: $1.79

Just look at that absolutely gorgeous gold shade! That color alone justifies picking up this palette, and apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so because this was the last trio on the shelf. I'm a little bummed to just be getting this now towards the end of the summer, it would have been nice to rock a golden lid in June/July, but whatever, it'll transition to fall and this make a great shade for Christmas party eyes!

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Silent Treatment

Price: $1.79

The last neutral Wet n Wild trio, I'm excited to experiment with this one because I've never worn taupe colored shadows, I'm curious to see how they'll look with my brown eyes! I don't really understand why Wet n Wild likes to include that pink "brow bone" shade with a lot of their trios? Pink shadows don't really appeal to me, I kinda wish they would just put the classic white!

July Favorites

Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Cherries PocketBac

You always have to keep some sort of hand sanitizer in your bag, and I love this one since instead of the plane old alcohol-y smelling sanitizer, this one smells like sweet cherries!

Bath & Body Works Pink Grapefruit Body Splash

I love spritzing this on my clothes and hair because it's such a perfect sweet/tangy mixture that's great for summer so I don't have to mess around with heavy perfumes.

MAC Pressed Blot Powder

There is some sort of heat wave going on around just about EVERYWHERE at the moment, so I've been skipping foundation all together and just putting on some concealer with blot powder on top to avoid a total makeup melt down!

Benefit Benetint

Again, with the heat wave I need makeup that's not going to be sliding around my face, so I've been opting for stains. This Benefit one is particularly great because it gives your cheeks a nice little "oh I just ran around" flush and your lips a lovely "I just ate a popsicle" color!

Seche Vite "Dry Fast Top Coat"

This top coat has been a holy grail item this month, I can't stand waiting around for my nails to dry and with this, you literally put it on and about 10 minutes later you can do just about anything!

C.O. Bigelow Apple Rose Salve

Other than the fact that this smells amazing, I've been loving it for the cute summer-y packaging and the great shine it gives to my lips.

Essie "Turquoise& Caicos"

I've been wearing this color on my hands and toes pretty much all month long. Some other nail polishes that are "turquoise" colors can either lean too blue or too green, but this one by Essie is the perfect true color!

Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in "Blushing Rose"

 This blush comes out as a really nice deep pink color with fine shimmer, but isn't too pigmented so it doesn't take a lot of thought to put on and blend out!

e.l.f. Studio Blush Haul & First Impressions

 I placed my e.l.f. order on July 14th and received it on the 27th. I was told my order would take between a certain amount of days to ship, but e.l.f. fails to mention a little thing called order processing! No one informed me that it would take 8 days for the freaking thing to be processed. I mean, I had no idea that I placed my order after the "e.l.f. 7th birthday 70% off" madness, but even so, if you don't have enough people on your team to combat all the orders and get them shipped in an orderly fashion, then what business do you have even owning an online store?!

After the 7th day of no confirmation email saying my order had shipped, I checked my credit card history to see if anything went through, and it was super fishy that I was already charged for my e.l.f. purchase even though nothing had been shipped!

I sent an email to customer service asking what the hold up was and got this very generic email:

"We apologize for any inconvenience it generally takes about 3-5 days to process an order and once it gets shipped out you will receive and e-mail with your tracking information. If you still have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at 1800-231-4732.



- Sincerely

The ELF Team "

I can tell someone spent a total 10 seconds copying and pasting that mass email...not impressed!

Though their customer service is less than satisfactory, it put a big smile on my face to see a little package on my porch. I don't know why my products were shipped in a crappy envelope, not a box. Did I not order enough to qualify for a box, or were they just hoping the UPS man was extra careful (yeah, 'cause that's very likely)?!

But anyways, crappy customer service and crappy packaging aside, my 6 little blushes made it to me safe and sound inside their little e.l.f. plastic bag.

 

 The e.l.f. Studio Blush shades I ordered:

• Pink Passion
• Blushing Rose
• Fuchsia Fusion (which is actually misspelled "Fushia Fusion" on the box...)
• Peachy Keen
• Candid Coral
• Tickled Pink

First Impressions

Pros: I love how sturdy these blushes feel when you hold them, the packaging is great because its not flimsy and seems like it would hold up really well against general wear-and-tear! It's really convenient that the blushes lay flat so you can stack them on top of one another. The colors are so much more gorgeous in person, so much better than drugstore blushes since you get really unique shades!

Cons: The little box these blushes come in don't have any plastic between the actual product and the little window on the box, which results in the see-through part of the blush packaging being a bit scratched, not a big problem if you don't care too much about how your product looks. This always happens when I order things online, but I was expecting the blushes to be a bit bigger! If you take a whiff of the products you'll notice a really plastic-y smell? I don't think that will really matter when you use them with a brush though. I like the nice sized mirror you get on the inside of every blush, but it doesn't make much since to have a mirror if you don't include a brush. The little stickers on the back of each blush which tell you what shade you have is SO SMALL, like you literally will need to squint to see it! I'm a little concerned that the word "fuchsia" is misspelled "fushia" on the box, that's a bit fishy to me.

Overall: I'm SO in love with these blushes, I can't wait to complete my collection with the shades that were sold out on the e.l.f. website when I ordered, and the best part is you can actually get all the shades since they are only $3 a piece! I'm a little put off with the whole customer service issues and lack of protective packaging so I wouldn't advise ordering products off the e.l.f. website, try and find their products in your local Kmart and Target!
