Glamour Doll Eyes Swatches!!

So the video I posted a couple of nights ago with the swatches of the GDE eyeshadows I received was pretty bad quality. Sorry :( My editing software decided that it didn't want to render my video so I had to convert the file and edit it on MovieMaker instead and turned out kinda blury, yuck. Sooo, I thought I would post some better quality pictures of the swatches on my blog instead :) (These pictures are only from the most recent set of GDE that I received, I'll post swatches of the previous either in another post or I'll add them to this one later.)

Intro? My Go-to Products

Hello all!! So this is my first post. I made this blog forever ago and completely neglected it :( I'm sorry blog!! So anyway, my name is Colleen and this is my beauty blog. There, that sounds like a good enough intro.





Now, I'm going to talk about some of my favorite products :)



Nars Blush in Deep Throat
So basically, this is the best blush I've ever tried. I got this blush in December... I think, but it still looks brand new and I use it every day!! It's so pigmented that I just have touch it with my brush and I get plenty of product. Not to mention, the color is absolutely gorgeous. It's medium peachy pink with just the slightest bit of gold shimmer (I haven't noticed any shimmer on my face when I wear this though. So bottom line, this stuff is amazing! I'm in love...






MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

I originally bought this to use as a pressed powder to set my foundation with. I had always heard that it could be used by itself as a foundation, but I just assumed that the coverage wouldn't be all that great. I was so wrong!! This works amazing as a powder foundation. Don't get me wrong, I still need to use concealer to cover any blemishes I may have, but this foundation is awesome at covering redness and acne scarring!! Also, it doesn't give me that powdery look that so many other powder foundations do. It just looks natural!! (I am an NC20, by the way)






MAC Studio Scuplt Concealer

This concealer is fantastic. It's very thick and creamy, and kind of reminds me of mousse (the chocolate kind, not the kind for your hair :/... only it's not sticky or chocolatey). The coverage and blendability are both amazing! (Again, NC20)
