MAC "Candy Yum Yum" Swatches.

Ok, ever since this lipstick first came out I wanted it like crazy. But like a lot of other Dolls I was disappointed to find that the lippie was sold out everywhere when it came out. And we're talking about a freaking year ago (talk about some serious determination) since "Candy Yum Yum" is a Limited Edition shade part of MAC's "Quite Cute" collection.

I was in luck though when fellow blogger Christine and I did a beauty swap and I finally got a hold of this famed lippie. All I can say is I FREAKIN' LOVE IT.

Such a unique color: it's a bit fluorescent, hot pink seriously words don't do it justice so I'll let the photos speak for it. And by the way, it's a matte finish which is a major plus.

Does anyone else have this lipstick?

Kisses Dolls!

Tommy G Dual Transfer Lipstick no.7 Swatches.

I recently bought a new Dual Transfer Lipstick from Tommy G's line and I'M TOTALLY IN LOVE!

I was told that it's a "true red" and it is one of the most gorgeous reds I've ever seen. I have more lipsticks from this line and I love how they are matte and last forever. It never ruins and just stays put on your lips.

This is definitely my new favorite red.

By the way Dolls, I cut my bangs, do they suit me? Kisses!

My MAC Lipstick Collection.

Hello my December Dolls! So as you all know I am a lipstick junkie and pretty damn proud of it. So I thought I'd start sharing my lipstick collections and the best place to start off would be of course MAC. I think I found all of them (I tend to forget lipsticks in bags) but I couldn't find my "Russian Red". It's somewhere (must find).

Let me know what your favorite MAC lipstick is. I'd really like to know what my readers love wearing. Kisses ♥

Flormar Cosmetics Review.

Flormar is an Italian cosmetics company which started out in the 70's. They have a wide range of products from make-up, perfume and even personal care products. They pride themselves in their high quality and yet economical prices. I was recently sent a package with products from Flormar as a gift!

Here's what I was sent

- He Is Black Code Deodorant

- Mono Eye Shadow in 002

- Supershine Lip Glosses in 131 & 125

- Pretty Lipstick in P313

- Supermatte Lipstick in 201

Reviews

He Is Black Code Deodorant: I was actually surprised to receive a MEN's deodorant (taking that I am a...girl...) but nevertheless I actually sometimes enjoy colognes and scents that are meant for men so I wore it anyway. Nice scent and long lasting. Surely I can't wear it on a daily basis since it's a men's deodorant and the strong scent does not mix well with my girly perfumes so I guess I'll end up giving it to my boyfriend or dad.

 Overall: ♥♥♥♥

Mono Eye Shadow in 002: Lovely shade and I really liked the feel of the shade and how it applies. Goes on very smooth, color pigmentation is just fine. Overall a great eyeshadow that I have been using quite often lately! Also thumbs up for the mini mirror in the case of the eyeshadow, great for applying.
 Overall: ♥♥♥♥


Supershine Lip Glosses in 131 & 125: The glosses are really cute, shiny & sparkly. They apply great on the lips and give that "juicy" look to lips.

 Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥ 

 Pretty Lipstick in P313: This shade is a somewhat dark pink that has a frosted tint to the color and glitter in it. When I first saw the color I was skeptic cause I personally don't wear frosty-lipsticks but the shade actually turned out looking great and I enjoy wearing it. Lasted about 5-6 hrs with re-applying only once.
 Overall: ♥♥♥


 Supermatte Lipstick in 201: I was super excited when I saw this lipstick cause first of all, it's RED (and you all know how I love red lipsticks) and second it's a matte lipstick (and you all know that I love matte lipsticks) BUT I was super disappointed in this product. It was the worst of all in the package because it is not a matte lipstick let alone a supermatte one. It glides on like a glossy lipstick, the color was really weak, you really need to work it to get the super red of the color...not a matte lipstick.
 Overall: ♥

Thank you Flormar!  ♥

Lovie Lipstick no.3 Swatches & Review.

Some time ago I discovered a small Greek cosmetics brand in a small shop call Lovie. Their lipsticks appealed to me and I personally can never say no to lipstick and to a good bargain while I'm at that. No.3 is one of the 2 shades I picked out, a lovely nude and I'm definitely going to buy some more in the near future!

Pros: 2 euro each (total bargain!), great color payoff, long lasting & great pigmentation.
Cons: Has a waxy smell & cheap packaging (hey that's what you get for 2 euro)

Overall: ♥♥♥♥ 

MAC's 'Petals and Peacocks' Lipstick and Look.

This is such a gorgeous shade and unfortunately it was a LE from the "Give Me Liberty of London" Collection. I hate it when MAC does that, makes all the awesome lipsticks LE. Boo! (Sad face)

Anyway the lippie is has an amplified finish and a lovely creamy texture. It goes on smooth on the lips as it applies. It's loud and bright, and as far as color wise a lot of people call it a hot pink. I wouldn't agree. Calling it simply a hot pink does not do it justice at all. It's a purplely fucshia and that's what makes it so unique as a color. The purple tint to the color.

Since it's a limited edition lipstick it's no longer available in MAC stores but I'm sure anyone can find one on eBay or Amazon. Only thing that should be expected is that every seller thinks that they can sell a $14 lipstick for the price of $40 - $50 which is such a ripoff. I wish there were more fair/logical deals on LE lipsticks. Any thoughts on that?

I always love hearing what you have to say so drop me a comment down below or you can find me on Twitter or Facebook. Kisses!

Lime Crime's 'Countessa Fluorescent' Review.

I have raved about Lime Crime lipsticks over and over again and will continue to do so since I as so in LOVE with them! And since I am a hot pink lipstick fanatic, I was compelled to combine my 2 loves and purchase 'Countessa Fluorescent'!

Actually I've been wanting to get this shade for some time, but it seemed to always be out of stock since it was selling like crazy at one point. Finally I got my hands on it and so glad I did. An awesome fluorescent Barbie pink, especially great for summer. I also wore it at a party and got many compliments and my bestie couldn't keep herself from applying it.

I was amongst the many who didn't get a chance to purchase MAC's 'Candy Yum-Yum' (which is now selling on eBay for $40-$50, yeah right!) I feel so relieved that 'Countessa Fluorescent' is really close and of course available!

Lime Crime all the way baby!

Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥

Tommy G Hot Pink Lips: No.10 Lipstick Look.

Have I ever mentioned that I'm a sucker for hot pink lipstick? I must own about 10-15! It's such a sexy color especially for Summer where all the bold colors start to kick in. I personally wear hot pink all year long and encourage Dolls to wear any color they desire and like anytime of the year and not follow the must's and the don'ts according to each season. Makeup should be free, not restricted!

Anyway I wanted to share a new lipstick that entered my collection, Tommy G's no. 10.  The color payoff is great as it is pigmented to a perfect level. For those who don't know Tommy G, they are a Greek cosmetics brand. I have raved about their products many times and use them on an everyday basis.

 Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥ 

This is my first Tommy G lipstick, I really want to try other colors too! Next time I go by their stand I'll take photos of their Summer collection, it's to die for!

I really want to thank you all for the great feedback that I receive on my posts! All you opinions matter and they help me become a better blogger. If anyone has any makeup/post requests please send me an email about. I'd love to hear new ideas!

Lime Crime's 'Coquette' Review.

After a half month break, I'm back! I was really busy with a lot of things but House of Doll is back and even more glam :)

As promised I'm reviewing 2 new Lime Crime lipsticks and first off is Coquette.

Coquette is a pale blushed opaque nude lipstick. I was disappointed to read that it's a Limited Edition lipstick since I have found it to be an amazing nude. I did not find it drying at all as many have been accusing Lime Crime of. I would actually say it's creamier than MAC's Myth. I wore 'Coquette' to the movies and after 4 hours without re-touching the lipstick still looked great! The great thing about Lime Crime is that the color payoff is amazing since all their lipsticks are truly pigmented.

 Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥ 

I'll be reviewing Lime Crime's 'Countessa Fluorescent' next time, kisses Dolls!

Celebrating with Lady Danger.

Friday the 13th was my best friend Elina's birthday! The celebration took place at one of our favorite places to go out in Kifissia, Bronco. We all got together and had an amazing time.

I've known Elina for about a decade now and for she is the sister I never had, family more than just a friend!
She's been there for me for all the up's and low's, a true friend. Imagine that we understand each other with just a simple glance, that's how well we know one another. Also we have lived out so many things that always has us wondering if we are living in a movie (lots of crazy stories there!).

I wish my sistah all the best on her 26th birthday and I'm positive all her dreams will come true!

♥♥♥♥♥

I made the cake! Rainbow chocolate cake!

Dreading Time.

As for my make up of the night, I chose one of my all time favorite red lipsticks, MAC's 'Lady Danger'. It's a matte lipstick and the orange hue in it makes it a one of a kind bright red. Never fails to impress! To complete the look, a simple cat eye with black eyeliner and of course false eyelashes.

Kisses Dolls ♥
