New Stuff from Las Vegas


A while back ago I went on vacation to Las Vegas. It was my first time in Vegas and I loved it. I flew in a helicopter to the Grand Canyon, toured the Hoover Dam and just had lots of fun. I also managed do a little bit of shopping. If you like to shop I have to say that Las Vegas is definitely the place for you. You can buy anything from luxury designers and brands to drugstore brands, all of it gathered along The Strip.

So here's my little result of my shopping in Vegas. I tried to focus on brands that I can't buy here in Sweden and on things that I heard a lot of good things about.

First I went to Sephora and I picked up:



Two lip products from Buxom, The Big & Healthy Lip Cream in White Russian and Big & Healthy Lip Stick in London. Both of these are nice neutral pink tones and they definitely have that sting that lip plumpers have.

LipSurgence Natural Lip Stain in Amused from Tarte. This is a hot pink lip stain and this is actually a lot darker that I thought when I swatched it in the store.

I also picked up a Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Exposed also from Tarte. This is a very nice neautral pink color and it has had very good reviews by beauty gurus on YouTube. I like it because it gives the cheeks a nice pinkish flush without being to pink.

A Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment from Fresh. This has a slight tint to it and a lovely citrus scent. I have used this a couple of times and I like it but it is nothing super special.

The last thing was actually a gift from my traveling companion and it was a set of Trend Tips from O.P.I. These are called Real Lacquer Strips and the ones that I received were very cute pink camouflage ones. I can't wait to use these but I'll have to wait until my summer vacation since they wouldn't last 10 seconds on my job.

I also went to Walgreens and picked up some drugstore makeup:


I picked up a new Full 'n Soft Mascara from Maybelline in Very Black. I have tried this before and I liked it so I thought a would give it a go again.

Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer in 09 Buff. I used this on my vacation to cover spots and I think it worked very well. For now it is a little bit too light but I think it will work great in the winter.

Two Revlon Lip Butters in Strawberry Shortcake and Cupcake two nice cool toned pink colors.

Revlon ColorStay LipLiner in Rose. This is a nice neutral lipliner that I think will work well with most lipcolors.

And the last thing that I bought was an Instant Age Rewind Eraser for Dark Circles in 60 Brightener from Maybelline. I have tried the foundation from this line and like it so I thought I would try the concealer as well. Strangely the foundation can be bought here in Sweden but the other products from this line can't.

This is it when it comes to my little shopping confession. I will get back to you with pictures and review of the products when I have had a chance to wear them a bit.
