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!

Tommy G Nail Polish no.8 Swatches.

Bright and playful Tommy G's nail polish in no.8 is a perfect addition to anyone's collection. I've been wanting to get a blue polish for some time so naturally I was really excited to try it out!

I didn't want the look to be plain so I painted the ring finger on each hand a metallic silver by Tommy G. I then coated each silver nail with Forever21's silver glitter polish.

♥♥♥♥♥

On another note, I'm thinking about starting off vlogging and tutorials. Any thoughts? And of course if anyone has a makeup request please let me know, I'd love to hear your ideas! Also I'm getting close to 100 followers (yay thanks and lots and lots of love to you all)! Once I reach 100 followers I will do a giveaway *excited*

MAC Style Curve Lipstick: Swatches & Look.

Hello my Dolls! Happy Valentine's Day!  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥



I personally am a fan of Valentine's Day and I seriously cannot get why so many people are anti-V Day and always find a way to spit out miserable remarks on such a cute holiday. Ok so it's a huge commercial thing, but who can resist roses and gifts and romantic dinners? What? Your partner doesn't like all the lovey-dovey sugar coated activities of this special day? Then fuck him. You don't need a Valentine to have fun of V-Day, a night out with the girls is just as fun, so it's a win-win situation. Enough of my V-Day rambling.


I finally received 2 lipsticks I had ordered from MAC and today's post is a look with "Style Curve". It was a part of the Stylishly Yours Collection and it has a cremesheen finish. I was a bit reluctant about such a vivid shade of purple but I thought I'd give it a try (and hey I even wear Lady Gaga lilac lipstick). And I LOVE it! It's such a sexy color and so fun to wear which makes me nervous cause it's an LE lipstick (dammit). I wish MAC could add a lot of their LE to their permanent collection and make all our lives a lot easier. 

Anybody have any plans for Valentine's Day? I'm going out to dinner with my boyfriend and a bunch of our friends and I need to start getting ready actually or I'll be late as usual. Kisses Dolls and have a beautiful day full of L.O.V.E   ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
