Happy Monday!

BB Couture has recently released a new collection “for men” called Mechanics 101 for spring.

In case you didn’t know, BB Couture has “regular” releases and also collections geared towards men. The bottles are square, the colors are more masculine and the names, of course, are very manly! This is their third collection for men. Of course we know we can all wear whatever we want!

For me this collection has some hits and some that just didn’t go with my skin tone.

The formula as usual with BB was really great, I had not a single problem with any of these and they were all two coats. Read on!

Intake Valve

Intake Valve is a pale taupey latte color. It does have very slight gold shimmer in it, which is hard to see here. This is a really nice color and when I’m feelin’ like doing something pale, I can see myself wearing this.

Hey there!

Milani has some seriously amazing new liquid eye liners out for spring 2010 called Infinite. They come in five different colors and have serious color impact!

I swatched these the other day and was pretty pleased with how much color these put off. I always am a wee bit weary of drug store cosmetics because a lot of times I have found that they are seriously lacking in either formula or opacity, but not these!

Yes, it is Thursday which means Friday is right around the corner, whoo hoo!

Today I’ve got the two new colors from Deborah Lippmann for spring 2010. They may not be what you think of when you think spring. They aren’t totally bright or saturated, more subdued and dare I say, professional?

The formula was pretty good with these, as hers usually are. Excellent consistency and no problems. I have to say though I’m not totally gaga (no not Lady) over these though. Peep ‘em and see for yourself!

I’m Not Innocent

I’m Not Innocent is a pale nude/peach creme. This was very sheer and a wee bit streaky. I think it would look more saturated and even if you used a coat of white underneath. I’m not really a fan of sheers or nudes for that matter, so this didn’t suit me personally. It is a really good professional color though and would work for any conservative situation.

Hello there!

Milani has eight really great new lip glosses out called 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss. This is part of their new spring line for 2010. I had the honor of trying six of these out and it’s all good news!

These glosses are super shiny and glittery, and despite the fact that they look sticky and thick, they really aren’t. They go on very smoothly and are not sticky at all (unlike MAC Lip Glass).

The applicator is a soft, small brush, which I personally like better than the wand type.

A huge bonus for me with these for me is that removal is super easy. A lot of times I have found that lip gloss with glitter in it tends to get all over my chin/mouth area when I wipe it off. These don’t at all!

They last too! I wore Fashion Diva the other day for a few hours and had no budging of the color and I didn’t need to reapply it yet either. Check out swatches below.

Yep, it’s Tuesday. My second least favorite day of the week next to Monday.

The much anticipated Pastels from Illamasqua for spring 2010 are here ladies & gents! I have two of the four to show you today.

Can I just say, I was worried about the formula. Like really worried. I thought for sure these were going to be super thick and streaky and hard to apply, like most pastels are. I was SO wrong! I kid you not when I say these applied like any of the most perfect polishes I have ever used, pastel color be damned! Another positive is they were totally opaque in just two coats! Peep ‘em!

Caress

Caress is a pale baby blue color. First off I must say I love this color, it’s one of my favorite kinds of blues. And secondly, I don’t have any other pastel color like it, so it’s unique as well!
