Ultimately, this beautiful work of art landed in my collection of pretty, sparkly things; and to tell you the truth, I couldn’t be more pleased.

Christmas came a little early this year. Well at least the holiday sets and collections from some of my favorite brands are making their way to the shelves. As far as makeup is concerned, this is the most exciting time of the year for me. My first (of many) holiday purchase is the Bare Minerals Two for the Show set.

I am in South Florida at the moment and one of the major perks of being in here is that I can start my day with a early morning beach run/ workout. I love being outside, so this is ideal for me. I don't even realize how hard I'm working, because I'm enjoying watching the sum come up. It's the best.

I have been lusting after the Maybelline Color Elixirs; but since I am trying to be more deliberate about what I buy, I have chosen to refrain. My favorite color from the collection is Vision In Violet. I dug around in my collection to come up with something that would curb my appetite for it, and came up with beautiful combo.

Am I the only person who is DYING to get their hands on the Makeup Forever Rouge Artist palettes?

Just as with red lipsticks, I don't think a woman can have too many nude lipsticks. Sure, they may all look the same to an outsider; but she see the subtle differences that make them all special.

Although I talk about red lips most of the time, I am a HUGE fan of a beautiful nude lip. I have a few go-to lipsticks that I tend to stick with; but I tried the Tom Ford lipstick in Sable Smoke, and it was quickly added to that short list.
I have seen this color on people with lighter skin tones and it seems like a "dark" nude; but on me it's pretty perfect.

As always, I have arrived on the late train concerning these Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks. And yes, I agree that they are fantastic; but I hardly expect anything else from Urban Decay (they rarely disappoint).
I almost wish that I didn't have so many lipsticks, because there are several of them that I want (but can't justify buying). I settled for just one (for now); and surprise, The Beauty Vixenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11466459288005536059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347621860273574070.post-35370826171664558552013-10-03T16:08:00.002-04:002013-10-03T16:08:52.888-04:00OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender...in the Sand
We landed in south Florida last night, and the first stop (at 9:45pm) was the beach. I couldn't wait to get my feet in the sand. On my toes is one of my all-time favorite nail polishes, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, which is getting a sand and wave bath.

I know...I know...it's just another nude lipgloss (of which I could probably live without); but I just couldn't say no to the Dior Addict lipgloss in Charm. This gloss is/was part of the Dior Mystic Metallics collection for fall 2013; and although it is not a "must-have," it is a beautiful addition to my makeup collection.

I held out as long as I could could, but several months ago I caved and tried a few of the Tom Ford lipsticks. Of course I fell in love immediately. I got this super cute mini lipstick in Cherry Lush as a GWP, but I only recently tried it. I guess it just got lost in my collection.

Anyone who knows me, has to know that I am a red lip kind of woman. It doesn't matter if I'm going to a black tie event or to the market, I just think a red lip is sexy for any occasion.

I should really be on a makeup buying band right now, because I truly have more than I need. I should not even be looking at makeup, because there are SEVERAL items that I have not even touched yet.

I only purchased two things from the Dior fall 2013 beauty collection, but I am extremely happy with my two beauties. The nail polish in Destin, which looks like a normal taupe at first blush, is deceptively complex. It has a purple undertone that makes it worth every penny of the $24 price tag. I only have a few Dior nail polishes, but I tend to be happy with them.

This color was part of Lancome's summer collection, and it quickly became a favorite in my own collection.

I know that this little beauty was meant to be a summer color, but I will be wearing it well into the fall.
