Can you believe October is next month already? Time is pasing by so quickly lately, it’s spooky!

We all know by now that October is national breast cancer awareness month, and SpaRitual has partnered with the Living in Pink organization, which was founded by Michele Conley, a two time breast cancer survivor. This organization helps to fund research and bring awareness about breast cancer in the hopes of one day finding the cure.

SpaRitual is a very responsible company to humans, animals and the earth. They are big-three free, Vegan and use recycled glass for their bottles. I wish ALL cosmetics companies would get a clue and follow suit!

Obviously this collection is of pink colors, but they aren’t boring cremes, they have fabulous finishes! Each bottle comes with a tiny metal pink ribbon charm attached, which is representative of the cause.

Yo!

I have an idea for a series of posts but before I even started them I wanted to get your thoughts about it.

Basically it would be a series of posts about what colors suit your “personality” type best. I don’t mean personality type according to Meyers Briggs or any psychological tests. I just mean if you are more of a “natural” person or maybe into goth or more feminine colors. I would choose 1 color to focus on for each post, and find a shade/finish that “goes with” that personality.

Please take this poll and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Color Club‘s new Luxury Untamed collection is a 14 piece two-parter. Yesterday I showed you my favorite half which is called Indulgence. Today I have Diamond for ya.

These are more glittery finishes, but dare I say, not as interesting as Indulgence in my eyes…

The formula was great for some, didn’t pan out for others.

De-Luxe-Cious

De-Luxe-Cious is a silver/grey with multi-colored shimmer. The idea of this is great but the problem is that the glitter sinks into the polish and kind if disappears into it. It winds up looking chunky and not all that great. This was two coats.

Physicians Formula is really stepping it up lately with their cosmetics! I never used to be attracted to anything they offered but recently I came across this beauty in the drugstore and wanted to try it out.

This is from the Shimmer Strips Pop collection, and this is for blue eyes. Of course really anyone can wear it, but these colors happen to really make blue eyes especially POP!

There are nine shadows in this palette and it comes with a little (useless) sponge applicator.

I don’t know why, but I was expecting these colors to fall flat. I expected chalkiness and just general “blah”. I was sooooooo wrong. Compared with most other drugstore shadows I have tried these might be the best.

First of all they are very soft and smooth. No gritty feeling, no chalkiness, no patchiness. Secondly, they are very opaque. Just a couple swipes (and just one for a couple of them) and you have major saturated color. Love!

Color Club has a huge new fall collection out called Untamed Luxury. It includes two sets of 7 polishes each; one called Indulgence and one called Diamond.

Today I have Indulgence for you since it was my favorite of the two.

This collection features some amazing cremes and shimmers and a frost for good measure.

The formula was totally outstanding as per usual with Color Club. Their polishes are always like BUTTAH!

Pretty In Platinum

Pretty In Platinum is a frosty silver/white. Wow this is a seriously hot white, it might be my favorite one now. It went on so opaque I barely even needed a second coat. It is a tiny bit streaky but nothing horrible.
