This was gifted to me by a friend recently.  I have heard murmurings about this lipstick for a while... These debuted this week, and are available in up to thirty shades. I was given the shade Mademoiselle, which I believe is the shade worn by Vanessa Paradis in this beautiful ad; While we are on the subject of this ad, its nice to see a company acknowledgin […]

For the next few weeks, I am going to tackle a number of lipstick swatches because you guys seem to like them so much. First I am going to focus on the NYX lipsticks I own (about 30 of them I think).

I went to see Alice in Wonderland today in 3D and had a great time! What a lovely fairytale! I personally liked it a lot, although the film has gotten some negative reviews. Meh, whatever, I went purely to delve into Tim Burton's vision of Wonderland and it was a thrilling adventure indeed. I love how he re-interpreted the fantasy world, the rich colors […]

I used a mix of the Alter Ego quads on her, a sparkly nude and green on the eyes lined with brown gel liner. I can't remember the lip combo because it was custom-mixed. But wha-la […]
