Simply put I absolutely love these lipsticks !! My favourite out of the three is Strawberry Daiquiri but I love all three of them!  I find them moisturizing which is a pleasant surprise considering they are matte lipsticks. There is no "smell" emitting from these lipsticks which is a big bonus for me ! I got mine off cherryculture.com when they had that yearly NYX sale so they set me back $4.00 each !! Crazy cheap !!! I love these so much that i ordered more !! 

EDM Pressed Powders.. (for yvonne !!)

here's my promised post for yvonne !! ;]


As much as I love my EDM foundation I must admit the PP's didn't really deliver for me. The smell is just too for my liking. As for coverage I would say its heavier than intensive but the finish is very matte even on my oily t-zone. I would also say that the colors would be darker than the actual loose powders in the same shade. The texture of the PP's is very very smooth almost creamy. The only real complaint I have with the PP's is the strong jojoba oil smell, but apart from that it is almost perfect !

The buttered tan PP is just right for my NC40 skin but if I used the loose buttered tan it would be way to light ! Medium beige PP is a tad too dark on my winter skin right now but I could probably get away with using it for summer.


and as requested here's a pic of my little man ! finally being his usual cheeky self !

since my cousin's wedding is coming i've been searching for a good foundation to use on the special day especially i am one of her brides maid and i would be in ALOT of the wedding photos so obviously i wanted to look great ! my cousin is getting married in august.. though i know its 3 months away i really really wanted to test some foundations out before the big day.. drugstore brands just don't work for me.. i have picky skin *lol* so i decided to "invest" some money on MAC's mineralize liquid foundation $48.00 at MAC counters. i got the NC40 shade and to my surprise it was lovely.. tested it out last night when i went out to a family dinner and i can tell you that my foundation didn't feather off and stay put all night ! i also didn't have any shine at all my face stayed matte all night despite the fact that i was busy running after my two year old and my little cousin. overall i think it is well worth the price.. you really get what you paid for !!
