The Audacious Lipstick formula is beautiful, and this packaging is so stunning.  I love the gold with the stars! This year we have a new shade called Ava. The design on the bullet is amazing – see photo above.

It is a warm beige designed to suit all skin tones. I will have a lip swatch coming soon.

This one has a Mini Bronzing Powder in Laguna, Mini Climax Mascara, and Mini Blush in Orgasm. It seems almost silly to swatch Laguna and Orgasm because I feel like you have all seen these shades, but I am going to do it anyway!
