Hey guys I attended Imats NY and I was so excited about this years Imats. I got to meet someone I really admire, I follow her tips and tricks on a daily basis. This year Lisa Eldridge did a live Q&A, I made sure I got there on time to catch her segment. She also did a book signing, which I almost missed but I made it just in time. If you haven't checked out her book yet please do, the cover alone caught my attention its a really good read.

As usual I was well prepared made my list ahead and I got everything off my list, except for one palette which was sold out. I didn't have Temptu on my list, however I was always curious about this little device. It was an impulsive purchase but I don't regret purchasing this at all, I love the idea of not having to use a brush. Which means less brushes to clean! I will test out this innovative little device before I come to a conclusion. Another brand I was excited about is Hakuhodo brushes, I love their brushes! I love the quality of these brushes its very soft and feels luxurious. I regret not purchasing more of their face brushes, next time I will definitely purchase a few more. Let's go ahead and look at the goodies but I must warn you this post is very pic heavy.

Tom Ford Radiant Moisture Souffle

This Souffle sounds like a dream, it promises to give you a instant glow and much more. Believe it or not this is what I was most intrigued about from the entire Tom Ford Soleil Collection. I was a bit confused if this was meant for face or body, so I spoke to a beauty advisor. I was informed it is indeed a face product. I was a little skeptical to slather this all over my face cause I have sensitive acne prone skin. After contemplating I decided to give it a go, I applied it on my cheeks and forehead. Once I applied foundation, concealer and powder the shimmer was nonexistent. The consistency is a little bit thicker than a regular foundation primer. However it sinks in quickly leaving your skin hydrated and luminous. My foundation went on very smooth and as the day went by I did get a little dewy. There is a light fragrance but its very subtle almost unnoticeable. I have oily to combination skin, this might be a little too moisturizing for me but I can see someone with dry skin loving this product. Lets have a close look at the beautiful micro shimmer.

Overall
I had high hopes for this product, due to my skin type this might not be the best moisturizer/primer for me. I also wonder how this will perform during warmer season, it could be a bit too much. It didn't cause any breakouts or irritate my skin so that's something to take into consideration. Despite the glowing sheen and the rich creamy formula I still prefer my HG Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. In conclusion Tom Ford Radiant Moisture Souffle can be a hit or miss product depending on your skin type.

I'm currently testing out the Ultra-Rich Lip Colors and the Radiant Moisture Souffle, reviews will be up soon.

Apologies for missing in action from the blog world but I'm back! Today I want to talk about The Louboutin Lipsticks I picked up Rouge Louboutin and Rococotte. Let's start with the packaging, these gorgeous lipsticks are housed in a black glossy cardboard box with velvet red interior. The lipsticks come with a silk carrying pouch to prevent it from scratches. These heavy lipsticks that resemble elixir vials also come with a silk ribbon which you can tie and wear as a necklace. The packaging was inspired by Babylonian Architecture, the design captures the ornate aesthetics of middle eastern antiquities and the art deco movement. The details are quite fascinating, the crown-like cap is painted red inside just like the soles of the Louboutin shoes. These lipsticks are quite heavy, kind of like the Guerlain Rouge G lipsticks. These lipsticks come in three different finishes; sheer voile, velvet matte, and silky satin. I went with the velvet matte finish. Overall, there are a total of nine velvet matte shades, nine sheer voile shades, and twenty silky satin shades.

I noticed all three finishes have the classic Rouge Louboutin red lipstick. All three Rouge Louboutin lipsticks are packaged in a black tube with silver and gold crown cap. They claim these lipsticks are nondrying, intensely pigmented, full coverage with just one stroke and last with comfort without feathering up to 4 hours. I have to admit all of those claims are true except for one. I had to go over it with a second layer to get an opaque finish. There is a slight sheen to it but over time it dries down to a completely matte finish. The finish of these velvet matte lipsticks are truly velvety, it glides on the lips smoothly. I'm really impressed with the wear time it lasted for, which was about 7-8 hours. I did have lunch and drinks and it held up pretty well, it left a soft red stain behind. These lipsticks are formulated without paraben, mineral oil and phthalate. It contains natural oils and seed butter, it enhances moisture for up to four hours.

Rouge Louboutin - A beautiful red shade. In my opinion, I feel that this lipstick will look very flattering on all skin tones.

Rococotte- A really pretty mauve rosy shade. I think this one will show up differently depending on your skin tone.

Final verdict:
I will admit when I purchased these lipsticks it was mostly about the packaging, but after using them I have to say Louboutin really got the formula down to a T! I love these lipsticks, but I don't think its something you have to get in a hurry. Aside from the fact that they aren't labeled, they also cannot be stood up. I might splurge in the future and grab a few lipsticks from the other two finishes. If you're a lipstick collector or don't mind forking out $90 bucks for a luxurious lipstick then you must check these out.

This is the third Bite Beauty Lip Lab Trio. I placed an order as soon as it was available online just to redeem my points for this set. Kir Royale lipstick is berry shade with a sheen finish it's very pigmented, creamy, long lasting and very moisturizing. The matching lip gloss is quite pigmented as well and if you're looking for a high shine gloss look no further grab a Bite Beauty Lush Fruit Gloss. I did skip Mimosa trio but Bellini & Kir Royale was definitely worth redeeming my points. I heard this is the last set but don't quote me on that I do hope they come up with a nude Lip Lab Trio if they continue doing the sets. If you have some points saved up get this set before its gone.

Overall
I used the Nuxe Exfoliating Gel it was very gentle it leaves the skin very soft and smooth. I haven't used the La Roche Posay product yet I'm kind of afraid cause it does contain retinol. I do plan on using it soon though cause I've been wondering about retinol products. The solid perfume is a no for me its a bit strong for my liking. I love Glossybox but the only reason I unsubscribed in the past cause the box doesn't fit inside my mailbox which meant a visit to the USPS every month. I liked this box its definitely worth $21 and the box is self is a piece of art.
