Makeup Majesty New Product Wish List

Hi dolls! OK so this is my wish list. Key word - WISH. Some of these things are totally overpriced, but me being me, I don't care and need them anyway. More of a "lust" than a "must" but hey, you can't help what products you fall in love with right? The below items are all relatively new, and all have a certain "one of a kind" appeal. I'd love to hear your thoughts - if you've tried any of these products, or are an addict like me and yearn for them too ha!







Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee ($40)



Estee Lauder says: A new kind of all-over glow. Powder + liquid + gel in one


Makeup Majesty says: UM, gimme? First of all, I want to feel this product. Powder, liquid and gel all in one? Amazing! And of course, i'm always on the look out for new products that promise that luminous, glowing look that all of the celebrities have. Second of all, it's so pretty to look at!





Butter Nail Polish ($14)


butter London says: We Believe in Rock and Roll. Great Britain. And Fashion.

butter LONDON is the cult phenomenon of the nail industry and is fast becoming famous for our high fashion, 3 Free (non-toxic) nail lacquers and revolutionary waterless nail services.


Makeup Majesty says: I've heard great things about butter, both in magazines and on many of your blogs. I'm eager to try this brand! Does anyone have a favorite butter shade that they would suggest as my first purchase?






per-fekt Matte Body Perfection Gel ($48)




per-fekt says: A glimmer-free skin perfecting gel that "per-fekts," moisturizes, and enhances the skin, offering an alternative to traditional bronzers, self tanners, moisturizers, and the sun.


Makeup Majesty says: My mom has this and loves it. She describes it as "covering up any imperfections on your legs, while giving such a nice, smooth finish." I like the fact that this gel is NOT shimmery and glittery, and it mocks a real tan. Plus, it's one shade suits all so you don't run the risk of mismatching the product to your skin.






Clinique Lid Smoothie Cream Shadow ($19.50)






Clinique says: This creamy, crease-resistant eye color with antioxidants instantly protects and cools skin in the eye area. The Lid Smoothie collection features a unique “cooling” applicator, allowing for smooth and even application.



Makeup Majesty says: God forgive me, but I've never really been excited about a Clinique makeup product. Skincare, yes absolutely. Clinique makeup, no. But, this new product intrigues me. Many companies are using this new technology - a metal, cooling applicator - and it really feels great on skin. The shades all look appealing to me, and the crease-resistant part? Sign me up. Might need to get my hands on one of these...or 5.





Tom Ford New Lipstick ($45)






Tom Ford says (of the beauty industry): "It's funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don't think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you're in control."


Makeup Majesty says: OK maybe I just need ONE Tom Ford lipstick. I know I blogged previously on the Tom Ford makeup launch, and whether or not i'd be interested in buying a piece for my collection. It's outrageous that a lipstick could be in the $40 range, so I will have to buy the very perfect shade and LOVE it.







Estee Lauder Pure Color Sensuous Rouge Lipstick ($34)






Estée Lauder says: A funky new lipstick with a "core within core" technology which delivers two formulas with one swipe: a firm, pigment-rich shell which provides easy application; while the jellified glossy core boosts shine and moisture.


Makeup Majesty says: I love makeup that has more than one purpose - a lipstick with great pigment that also doubles as a moisturizer. The worst thing about lipstick in my opinion, is when they dry out your lips. The idea of adding a moisturizing element to a color makeup product isn't brand new, but Lauder makes great lipsticks so I'm interested to try them! Plus, they look pretty haha








What do you guys think, anyone try any of my Wish List items? Or - what's on your wish list? Share! xoxo












Victoria's Secret Shimmer Fierce Liquid Shadow!



How hot is that?! This is with the camera flash on




Camera flash off - it's so glittery!




Brand new, hot off the presses!




The doe-foot applicator makes it so easy to apply on the go


Hotness! I was fortunate enough to get my paws on a brand new eyeshadow from Victoria's Secret - Shimmer Fierce Liquid Shadow in Radiate! I don't believe it's in the store just yet, but it will be soon.


This shadow is extremely glittery and bold! If you are into matte or slight shimmer shadows, this is not for you. I happen to love it - totally livens up the eyes for day time in my opinion. It is very...well, radiant (guess the shade name is dead on, huh?)


However, because it's very glittery and piecey, it does have a tendency to crease a bit (you can kinda see it in the second photo). Although I did apply it at 7am, so I guess by 3pm most things tend to crease...


Easily fixable though - next time, I will probably use a shadow primer PLUS a matte shadow in the same coppery/gold shade. That way, I will layer the glitter on top of the shadow - if the glitter creases a bit, the shadow will be underneath and it will still look put together and pretty.


The "VS Tip" on the box reads, "Use fingertips to apply a small amount of liquid shadow to center of lid and evenly blend across eye. For added intensity, layer as desired." I'm sure there are a number of looks that you can create by pairing this with different shadows or eye liners!


I've only gotten this shade so far, and haven't seen the rest of the collection - I am very excited to see what other shades they come out with! Hoping there is a grey or maybe a black glittery shade (ohhh ahhhh!)


What do you guys think?
