Tokidoki Treasures



Created by Italian designer Simone Legno, these Japenese-inspired, cult-favorite designs have been given the makeup treatment!


Cromatico Eyeshadow (16 shades)



Bastardino Makeup Palettes (1 Palette with 4 different shades)


Prisma Lip Gloss (16 shades)



Fantastico Lip Ink (5 shades), Brush and Inferno Bronzer



Tokidoki Makeup Bags (3 sizes)



Nail Files



Tokidoki Tank Top



I purchased the Perfetto Eye Liner in Black, and the Cromatico Eye Shadow in Donutella:


The packaging is adorable! But the most important question remains - how are the actual products? I'm very happy with both the eye liner and the eye shadow! The Donutella shadow is a lot of fun - shimmery with glitter flecks. I haven't experienced much creasing at all while wearing it, which as we know is very rare!

The Perfetto Eye Liner is also great - it's a felt-tip marker pen which I love. The application is fairly easy if you're trying to achieve the winged-tip cat eye look. It stays put throughout the day, and is a true BLACK color. Comes in 8 shades, and it's waterproof!

I was tempted to buy the Prima Lip Gloss and the Lip Stain, but figured I would quit while I was ahead and only purchase two things from the new line - JUST in case I wasn't impressed. It's possible I might go back for more!

MAC Cosmetics - Art Supplies










Get back to your creative routes with some art supplies! With 8 shades of the Greasepaint Sticks, 6 shades of the Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner, and 9 shades of the Pro Longwear Lip Stain Markers, there is a lot of color and creativity to go around!

The Greasepaint Sticks are a lot of fun to play with - think of them as crayons for your eyes. They are very soft in texture, and give you the ability to blend/smudge/smear to your liking. You can use them as a chunky eye liner for a subdued look, or fill your entire lid in for a more intense look.

The Pearlglide Liners compliment the Greasepaint Sticks perfectly. You can use both products together and create your own fun and unique look. They are very sparkley and glittery, I wouldn't recommend putting them in your water line (under your eyes). Line your lash line with them and your eyes will seem perky and awake!

Pro Longwear Lip Stains - love.them. I love the variety of colors MAC is offering, and the formula is amazing. As seen above, I swatched all the colors on my arm, and left them there for a while to see how long they would last (that's dedication, right?!) Even when I accidentally put my sleeve down, the stains did NOT move! The colors stayed vibrant and intact. I can definitely see myself buying a shade...or two or three...and wearing them in the summer to the beach. Let's face it - most things in the summer melt off your face. If you stick with something drying, like a lip stain, it's more likely to stay put versus a gloppy lip gloss.

Thoughts? Has anyone tried any of these?
