My absolute favorite lippies are the vicky secrets/bath & body lip gloss. Altho the vickys have gone up in price, they are good quality AND they taste good ::licks lips::

For the past few years I've been loyal, but, I wanted to treat myself and try something different... so, I went to MAC and bought the "dazzlesphere pink ornament". It comes in a set of 4, 2 dazzle glass and 2 cremesheen.

~fashion scoop, petite indulgence, rags to riches, like venus~  



It's an extra $12 more then what I usually pay for lippies (that I prefer) for less product so I'm thinkin, this BETTA be good!

 I wanted to show what they look like with nothing on my lips. Here's a few swatches:

petite indulgence (cremesheen)






rags to riches (dazzle glass)







like venus (dazzle glass)


fashion scoop (cremesheen)




...this is such a pale pink, since my lips are naturally pink it practically looks sheer...











MAC needs no introduction, the company stands on its own....
However, I wasn't "wowed" by the them. They are gorgeous, cute, pretty and all the girly complimentary words one can think of to describe them. I still find myself leaning more towards my vickys/bath & body works lippies.

For one, MAC's full size is .09 oz's for the price of $19.50, each. All  of MAC's cremesheen/lip/dazzle/lusterglass have the same (subtly sweet) scent; NO flavor at all.

Both victoria secrets and bath & body works lipgloss size is .47 oz's....There is a wide variety of colors with and without shimmer/glitter. To top it off, they are flavored AND scented; based on the title.
For example: chocolate lipgloss would have a somewhat brown tint and will actually have the taste of chocolate. LOVE IT!
A single vickys/bath & body lipgloss cost ::drum roll::  a whopping $7!
We can't forget that both vickys and bath & body offers a sale if you buy multiples...ALL still under the price of one MAC lipglass.

Need I say more....?

~thanks for stopping by~

grey/silver smokey eye

 I kinda went with the flow coming up with this look. I like to title my looks/designs/ideas. This one is called innocent flirt...kinda sounds like an oxymoron ha ha.
