December Favorites

I love seeing posts on peoples favorite products so I thought I would try it out myself. I find these posts to be a good way to see what products are really worth purchasing and what products I was lusting over that are just not worth my time or money. I feel these posts can really help people make an informed decision about a product. It is also fun to see what people really liked or used in a month.


Bath and Body Works - Secret Wonderland Body Butter
I have been using this every night this month. I do not know what it is about it, but I love it.

Glamour Doll Eyes - Midnight Light Show
When you foil this and use it as a liner it is just amazing! I have been using GDE Foil Me mixed with the shadow to create a winged liner, and then patting the shadow on top. It makes it so glittery and festive! I am going to test out Ladies Night since Midnight Light Show is not a permanent color.

OCC Lip Tar -Grandma
Ever since I saw this color swatched I thought, "gosh this is beautiful and I must have it!" This shade is very wearable, I think every skin tone and age group could wear this and look nice. I also like that this is a nice natural lip color with some punch! You can wear it everyday and feel pretty, not like someone's grandma, with this coral pinky color

Darling Girl Cosmetics - Petunia
I love wearing this all over my lid with an intense black winged liner! It adds a hint of color, and warmth without going overboard. Perfect!

Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm Tin
I cannot live without this.  It is winter here and it is just so dry, especially with electric heat in the apartment, that my lips often need more attention. This is hands down my favorite lip balm. I have been using it since my best friend is high school turned me on to it. The friendship didn't last but the love affair with this balm will never die.

butterLONDON - The Black Knight
I received this for Christmas and it is everything I dreamt it would be. It is a black base with pink, blue, black and silver sparkles! There are no words for how awesome this is.



Have you used any of these products before? Which do you love or hate?
What would be your list of favorites from the month of December?
This is my first post like this so let me know what you think!

Darling Girl Cosmetics Swatches Part 2

Today I want to share with you my first purchase from Darling Girl Cosmetics. I picked up twelve shadows, half of them are from the Halloween collection and today I am going to share with you the other six shadows I purchased.

Sushi Flower- an amazing iridescent blue/purple with a rainbow of diamond dust sparkle
Uprising- a gorgeous color shifting copper laid over a black base. In some lights it looks purple, in some you can really see the copper. It is gorgeous!
Gargoyle- beautiful rich metallic patina'd green with coppery brown undertones
Petunia- somewhat neural mid-tone matte pink
Willow- sheer iridescent baby pink with turquoise shift
Persuasion- (I cannot find it on the site anymore)

I know this post is quite late, I bought all of these during the 11.11.11 sale. I love all of these colors. I was looking for a nice light pink so I picked up Willow and Petunia. That is actually the whole reason I placed my first order with them. Sushi Flower and Persuasion caught my eye while I was perusing for some pretty golds/bronzes (uprising gargoyle). I honestly cannot pick a favorite from this bunch. They are all very pretty and I love using them!



What do you think of these shadows? How would you wear these? What other colors would you recommend for me to try from Darling Girl?
