Everything's better in 3D

Last weekend I signed up for a free bronze makeover at my local Sephora. The makeup was pretty but by the time I went to take pictures the 98 degree weather melted my face...off. I chose the Lorac makeover as it was a brand I had no experience with. Lorac is a great brand but I couldn't justify the price for a 4 eyeshadow palette. However I knew I had to have their Multiplex lip gloss in 3D! Along with 3D I received a goodie bag for coming in which included products from Nars and a mini Lorac 3D mascara. I have a little mascara post that will make an appearance soon.


My cute goodie bag. <3 Mini Benefit perfume, Lorac tinted moisturizer, Mineral foundation, Nars cleanser, Nars shadow pencil, Lorac 3D mascara, and benefit porefessional pore balm.







Swatched on my hand.

3D looks brown in the tube but when applied it's a gorgeous pink/copper duochrome with tons of sparkle. The color is beautiful and the gloss smells tropical. But of course it has that icky gloss texture. I have yet to find a gloss that doesn't have that feeling. This gloss looks beautiful over pink as well, unfortunately no pics but please take my word for it!

Ebates

I just wanted to do a quick update about Ebates. You may have noticed that I added an Ebates button on my side bar. That's because I've been trying it out and I love it! You just make an account with them, it's free. Not all online shops are connected with Ebates but you can always double check. Certain online shops allow Ebates to give you back a percentage of the money you spend! You can also find coupons. All you do is start your browsing on Ebates and pick the store you want to shop from there. On my first attempt I purchased The Balm Time Bomb concealer from Sephora. This is the only item I paid for! I was able to get a coupon from Ebates to get a free make up bag from Benefit, my 3 free samples, and used 100 beauty points to get the new Benefit They're Real Mascara! I know it isn't much but combined with all that I also got back $1.44. Now if you do a lot of shopping online that money is going to add up. So if you have the time check out the website and see if it's something you want to experience. If you click on my links or the button on my sidebar it will link me as the referrer and I do get bonuses on my account. You can have the same advantages when you make an account and refer your friends too! Also during the holidays the website tends to giveaway an added percentage allowing you to get more money back.

Such a lovely color for you.

Ozotic Pro 528 is the first polish I purchased from piCture pOlish. I saw pictures online and knew I had to add it to my collection, ridiculous shipping charges or not. For 2 polishes I spent over $40. I'm pretty confident that I won't be doing that again, lol. 528 is 1 of 3 Elytra duochrome glitters. It's beautiful! I wasn't in the mood for a black base so I chose Essie Merino Cool for a different effect.








It was so hard trying to get a good picture! 528 mainly shines green and purple but when the light hits just right you get pink and orange. I am so glad the work week is done. I'm going to get some relaxation and sleep starting now!

Did you take a bath in rainbows and cupcakes?

It has been a long crazy week. My dad was able to leave the hospital today. He's happy to be home with Zombri now, lol. My niece has been staying with us for a few days now which has been great. Work is stressful. And my boyfriend has been my rock. So let's look at some rainbows! Here's OPI DS Signature in all its glory.






I cannot wait for this 3 day weekend! A break from everything is really needed. :)
