 The advertising spiel:

"A vitamin-packed jojoba and olive oil-based lipstick. TheBalm Read My Lips Lipstick's creamy formula is infused with hydrating ingredients like vitamins A and E, leaving behind a press-worthy pout. Like your favorite daily paper, Read My Lips tubes are 100% recyclable and the lipsticks are infused with a delicious vanilla-mint scent that will have you hooked."

Review and Swatches: Illamasqua Fundamental Palette

Hello!

Do you know why I have a soft spot for Illamasqua? They dropped their Australian prices to be in line with the price of their products in England, voluntarily! That gets them major brownie points with me. Today's review is on Illamasqua's Fundamental Palette.

Here's the advertising spiel:

"A startling blend of colours and textures, this bold palette is a playground for self-expression. Liquid Metal in molten pewter glistens alongside matt Cream Pigment in mint green, contrasting brevely with two bright Powder Shadow shades. Express your alter ego with a vivid display of nonconformity."

Review and Swatches: OPI Skyfall nail polish

Hello!

I've caught James Bond fever lately. The Skyfall collection by OPI is inspired by and named after Bond films. From this collection, I bought Skyfall, Live and Let Die and The World Is Not Enough. Today's review is on Skyfall.
