l'oreal project runway limited edition

on a recent trip to rite aid the l'oreal project runway limited edition collection caught my eye.  i took a chance and brought home the super blendable blush in 725 sultry raven's blush and colour riche lipstick in 785 sultry raven's pout...


i was so impressed i went back and picked up these...

225 watchful owl's blush.  285 watchful owl's pout.

o.k., o.k., and maybe i also brought home these...

685 audacious amazon's pout. 485 charming cockatoo's pout.

colour comparison:
top, 725 sultry raven's blush.  bottom, 225 watchful owl's blush.

welcome home little beauties!

ulta (mini) haul

received my ulta mailer.  (one) $5 off coupon;  (two) buy two, get one free butter london;  (three) didn't need a third reason...

bluey has been on my wish list for awhile; i thought it was going to be sold out but...suprise!  i have been looking for the perfect shocking pink, primrose hill picnic is just what i was looking for.  toff is a gorgeous dusty brown pink, just right for my next pedicure.


stila lip glaze in grapefruit is one of my favs, so when i saw this mini trio with seashell and raisin too, i couldn't pass it up.


i have been wanting to try both the tarte bronzer and the amazonian clay 12-hour blush in dollface.  this mini set was the perfect way to try both.
