Review: DiorShow Iconic Mascara
I must start off saying, I love this mascara. I picked up my first tube of it not really thinking i'd find something better than my fav YSL Faux Cils but I did. Dare I say this is my holy grail mascara? Heck yeah it is!
Quick take: Dark, long, defined lashes. With everyday use, a tube will last you over 2 months. A+
DiorShow Iconic promises- A mascara with an innovative oblique brush that curls and defines lashes.With its long, skinny teeth, the plastic comb brush allows you to precisely coat each lash one-by-one-creating a long, separated fan of lashes that usually takes the skill of a makeup artist. The extra-hold formula provides a 24-hour-curl with 100% smudge-proof results.
What I liked: Not only did it perform like the package said it would, my lashes looked noticeably longer. I occasionally get asked if I'm wearing false lashes when I use this mascara! I love that this mascara never flakes or smudges, and even looks the same hours after you applied it. I don't need to curl my lashes, the formula and brush do the curling for me. Best of all, I don't feel like I'm wasting my money since a tube lasts for months with everyday use.
No likey: To hold the curl, the mascara gets a little stiff. Taking it off takes a little effort but it's nothing a good makeup remover can't remove.
No Mascara
2 coats of DiorShow Iconic, I did not curl my lashes
I'd buy this mascara over and over again. One coat of mascara looks nice and natural but two or more and you've got some drama! Although it costs $27, you get your moneys worth since it doesn't dry out in a week like some other brands do.
Product available at Sephora

My Very Small MAC Lippie Collection
For shits and giggles I thought I'd show off my small MAC lipstick collection. I always enjoy seeing other's collections, so I figured why not take pics of my used lippies and post them for yall to see ;-) As always, click on the pics to make them larger.
I couldn't find a couple lippies, but here's what I've got. I'm actually not the biggest fan of MAC lippies. I find Dior, Lancome, Chanel, and YSL to have better formulas. Stay tuned for my much larger eyeshadow collection.
Left to right: Viva Glam V, Syrup, Plum Dandy, Angel, Culture Class, Ultra-Madame, "O", Frenzy, Sophisto, Capricious, Bunny Pink, Hug Me, Hue, Beigeland, Bubblegum, Colour Me Coral, Viva Glam IV, Nude Rose

MAC Art Supplies Haul
I went a little crazy and hauled quite a few items from the MAC Art Supplies collection. I posted swatches here of all the liners and greasepaint sticks.
If I were to do a giveaway with this collection, what product would you want? I'm talking from the entire line. Let me know in the comments. I'm thinking of doing one...
Here’s what I got from this collection plus a couple other things :) As always, click on the photos for full size.
Top to bottom- Dirty GPS, Zinc Zone GPS, Petrol Blue e/l, Industrial e/l, Black Line e/l, Designer Purple e/l
With flash- Left to right: Petrol Blue, Industrial, Black Line, Designer Purple
I also bought transparent finishing powder, concealer (I'd heard good things about this one so I wanted to try it out), Mineralize Foundation in NW20, MAC 249 Brush, MAC 189 Brush.
I bought the 249 brush to use with the greasepaint sticks. Since they dry so fast I wanted to use something bigger than the 242 brush that I'd normally use. I also bought the 189 brush over the 190 since the 190 has a tendency to streak.
