POTD ?

I think just invented a new abbreviation ;D
So, what does POTD mean?
Product of the Day!

What does that mean?
I want to start doing posts featuring random makeup+beauty products, talking about what I like about them and what I use them for :)


So far, I have a couple of POTDs written and ready to post whenever I get pictures taken for them, and it seems like some of them are going to be more like mini-reviews while others are going to focus more on swatches. We'll see how everything works out :)




I do have quite a lot of different makeup brands in my collection but most of what I have is MAC, so the majority of the products featured will probably be MAC. Not because I don't like other brands but because MAC products are what I have most of! ;)

Quite dramatic blue&black FOTD

To make up for the super simple FOTD below, here's something a bit more fun! ;)



Super simple FOTD

I guess this isn't much of a FOTD, since I'm hardly wearing any makeup.
I figured I'd post anyway, since this was all I wore to work the other day and I did take pictures :P

GOSH haul

I guess I'm lucky these days!
Last week I got 50% off on these MAC goodies, and yesterday I was lucky enough to walk by a store that had GOSH products for 50% off!
Actually, all their cosmetics were 50% off, but the only things they had left that I wanted were these GOSH products!

  • Extreme Art Eyeliner #25 - I love the Extreme Art Eyeliners! Very similar to the MAC liquidlast liners with the only difference being that the GOSH ones come in a much better variety of colors! Hear that, MAC?! GOSH makes more colors than you now!
    The one I got is a very dark gray. Not the most exciting color but I just realized that I don't own a gray liquid liner!
  • Soft 'n Shine lip balm #39 Sweetheart - For the longest time, I refused to buy the Soft 'n Shine lip balms because I think they're a MAC Slimshine knock-off. However, after seeing all the MAC slimshines being discontinued(What's up with that MAC?!), I thought that I might as well try this and see how it compares. The color I got is a very pretty soft pink.
  • Yellow Sea Horse effect powder - Have I ever mentioned that I love effect powders?! This color is a pale yellow with a green duochrome to it, very similar to MAC Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow.
  • #101 On Stage cool lip jam - The On Stage cool lip jams feel kinda cooling on the lips (which I imagine is why they got their name?) and I think they're my favorite lip product from GOSH. This color is clear but has a blue duochrome to it which makes it very similar to Benefit California Kissin' lipgloss.
  • #105 On Stage cool lip jam - This color is very different from the other ones I own! It's amazingly pigmented and has a very cool looking blue-violet duochrome too it.

Detrivore Cosmetics swatches: Hilite collection


I recently bought the Hilite Collection from Detrivore Cosmetics, and here are the swatches!
The complete collection of 7 colors was only $10! (without shipping)
Individually the jars are $3 each and sample bags are available for $1 each.

The Detrivore Hilite colors (not to be confused with their Highlight colors) all look white in the jars, but have different color duochromes to them! How cool is that?!

I also bought the Matte collection, which I posted swatches of here.
I will have a review up ASAP, and I'll try to do a tutorial as well!

If there are any colors you'd like to see a tutorial on, please let me know :)
