Here’s What Three Things I’d Been Obsessed With In The Month of MAY!

It's been a long month.
My patience, my strength, my faith has been tested.
I have a long road ahead of me ...
Anyhow, let's get to the good stuff!
Beauty products! My escape, my passion, my pleasure!
I adore summer collections!
To me, it's usually something new, bright & exciting.
Bronzed sun kissed look has been my favorite forever!
This year did not disappoint!
Neon nails, all in one tinted moisturizers, illuminating bronzers, coral lips!
That's just the beginning!
Needless to say, I am a very happy camper!
Here is THREE things (trust me there are more but I only desire to introduce
you to the best!) I am absolutely loving this month!
Oh yeah and ONE nail polish that I can not get enough!
ENJOY!

#1 Dr.Jart BB Beauty Balm SPF 45 /PA ++

#2 MAC Haute and Naughty Mascara

#3 Maybelline Nude Nuance Lipstick (LE)

*BONUS* Island Girl Nail Polish in Tropical Breeze

Here's a rough swatch:

Hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!

Tag: Top 5 Beauty Products I am dying to get!

I actually have some newborn desires & wants.
I have been so uninspired by makeup lately that this new lemming phase is actually worth blogging about!
Unfortunately most of the stuff is High End as in "it will have to wait"category. :-(
Here we go!
#1 Burberry Shadows:

NO. 02 TRENCH

NO. 03 PORCELAIN

NO. 04 GOLD TRENCH

NO. 05 CHESTNUT

NO. 06 ALMOND

NO. 22 PALE BARLEY

Well in all honesty any one would do!

#2 Tom Ford Beauty Lip Color in NUDE VANILLE

It is just so lux! From packaging to the color to the smell! Yummy!

 #3 Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-Made Bronzing Powder Brunettes
 
And  that is all for now! Lucky me! :-)

It is so gorgeous! 'nough  said!

#4 Buxom® Big & Healthy™ Lip Cream  in White Russain

There is so much love & talk about this gloss!
I must have it!

#5 Finally, a drugstore lemming! Yay!

Maybelline's Nude Nuances lipstick!

I will try to find this HTF Maybelline's Limited Edition lipstick from Porcelains Collection and I will give up!

That's all for now!
What are you lemming?

TWIT! TWIT!

I am Finally on Twitter!

I have finally joined the masses on Twitter as Runs_on_Coffee.

I’m actually using it a lot more than I though I would, thanks to my makeup buddies!

APRIL 2012 FAVORITES

It's May 11 and I am finally sitting down to post my monthly favorites.
It's been crazy here to say the least!
I have not had any free time to read any let alone write a blog post.
This does not mean that my love for anything cosmetics has subsidized.
Life made me shift my focus, hopefully just for a little bit.
On to the fun stuff we go!
Here's THREE things I have been obsessed with this month!
#1 L'Oreal Sublime Sun Sublime Sun Face Lotion, SPF 50 

I have been using this for four weeks straight without any problems!
This speaks volumes since my skin is uber reactive & gets aggrivated very easily.
The sunscreen is cosmetically elegant, it applies smoothly, absorbs fast and has a tremendous price point!
Good job L'Oreal!

#2 Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle

I finally broke down and got me some Revlon butter!

What can I say that has not been said?

It's a great sexy color especially on my pigmented lips!

I believe the orange undertones of this shade cancels out purple hue of my natural lips which results in a gorgeous, youthful, pouty mouth!

#3 Finally, Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara!

    The best $3 spent at Walgreens! It is all that & more!

Hello You Gorgeous People!

It's been a very long & crazy week here at the Rated "M" Blog corner.

Real life is full of ups and downs. That's just a fact!

It doesn't take away from the sting of some not so good news though.

What do you do? You come up with a plan of action of course.

You pull your sock up & make your Feel Good Friday list first!

This fabulous idea has been gracefully inspired by a lovely beauty blogger LIZ:

BEAUTY STASH SPRING CLEANING: THE NAIL POLISH EDITION

It's time ladies! This is it!
No more waiting, postponing or pretending like all is well.
It is not! I need to destash my nail polish collection & get it organized & looking fab!
Armed with a very strong cup of java & a BIG reward (aka a trip to the mall) in mind,  I have found myself at the conclusion of the task with this lovely contraption!
May I proudly present to you my very own little nail polish family?
*insert applause here*

Aww.... Ain't they pretty? It's a bit of a melting pot of everything but mostly it is Zoya!
Next on the list is my makeup stash...yeah... this may take more then a cup of java!
I may need a stiff drink prior to that task!
Hope everyone is doing well & enjoying their sunshine!

P.S.: This three tiers cabinet organizer was purchased at Bed, Bath & Beyond ($7.99)

Here’s Three Things I’ve Been Obsessed With In MARCH'12.

SO… here are three new makeup products that I am loving this month…

I think I have found my perfect baby pink peach nude lip colour!

I know what you are thinking!

Let me tell you this lip color can be "adjusted" depending on your lip liner.

It can pull in pink OR peach OR nude!

It's creamy, glossy and it works well with my light/light-medium skin tone.

Also, it gives me an instant ego boost!

I feel confident, assured, sexy! 

I am going back for another tube very shortly!

Thank you MAC Hue Lipstick for making me feel so haute!

Next, in order for this lipstick to work I must have my other love, Too Faced Perfect Lips Universal Liner.

What an amazing lip liner!

It's smooth, creamy and so easy!

I don't think I will need another liner ever again! Well...at least for now!

Finally, cream eye shadow! As in any cream eyeshadow!

So fast, so easy yet long lasting and super saturated!

The colors are stunning! The quality is super!

I have started my quest at a drugstore so I know it will only get better!

I am enjoying L'Oreal Color Infaillible / Indefectible Eye shadows, Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow and Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting eyeshadow.

Hope this was helpful and I would love to hear your favorites of the month!
