MAC Charlotte Olympia.

If you are looking for an upscale collection from MAC, look no further than the new Charlotte Olympia collaboration. With limited edition cartons and packaging that exudes class and glamour, I am nothing but impressed.

"Inspired by pin-ups, silver screen sirens and the bygone era of old Hollywood glamour, British luxury shoe and accessory brand Charlotte Olympia collaborates with M∙A∙C on an unapologetically nostalgic collection of retro-glam colour."

The lipsticks in red hues are classics and if you like reds, these are not to be missed. Retro Rouge is gorgeous! I really want to see Starlett Scarlet in person too, because anything that is described as a True Red speaks to me.

I love how the products feature the Charlotte Olympia gold spider web logo.

The packaging on the studio nail lacquer is my favorite though! White nails have been very popular the past few years and this creamy white nail shade is a great one to add to your collection.

Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded.

In case you missed my news a few weeks ago, Urban Decay is celebrating twenty years as a beauty brand! On top of that mega UD XX - 20 Years of Beauty with an Edge vault, the brand has launched a really special limited edition collection Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded eyeshadow palette. This chic palette features 20 (XX) shades of eyeshadow that spans UD’s entire 20 (XX) year history making this a true must have for the Urban Decay fan.

Urban Decay XX Vice LTD Reloaded includes a few new shades and several cult favorites from past palettes. It includes some of the brands earlier shades like Midnight Cowboy (one of my all-time faves), Acid Rain and UV-B, to some of their best-sellers in their current line-up.

The complete rundown of shades:

• Suspend - Greige-brown matte
• Oil Slick - Black matte with silver micro-glitter
• Roadstripe - Iridescent white with blue-violet shift
• Gash - Metallic brick red
• Midnight Cowboy - Pink champagne with shimmer with silver glitter
• 501 - Deep metallic blue with copper micro-glitter
• Shallow - Pale taupe-silver satin
• Laced - Pinky-taupe matte
• Hot Pants - Pearly medium pink
• Mildew - Deep metallic green shimmer
• Smog - Deep coppery bronze shimmer
• Misdemeanor - Deep olive green matte with green micro-shimmer
• Freakshow - Bright purple satin
• Asphyxia - Hyacinth shimmer with blue shift
• Acid Rain - Pale yellow-green shimmer with green shift
• Moonflower - Metallic rose-gold with gold micro-shimmer
• UV-B - Bright blue with violet shift
• Goldmiine - Bright Metallic Gold
• Twice Baked - Rich brown satin with gold micro-glitter
• Anonymous - Pale peachy cream matte

My favorites in the palette are Midnight Cowboy, Suspend, Roadstripe, Oil Slick, Swallow, Laced, Smog, Misdemeanor, Asphyxia, Anonymous and Twice Baked. I'm actually getting more use out of this palette than I thought. The shades are truly representative of the brand.

I'm always been a big fan of the Urban Decay eyeshadow formula. They are creamy soft, easy to apply and blend and last the day without caking or creasing. The secret to the shadow formula is the brands Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients. I can apply them with or without a primer and have them last the day. Of course, I use a primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, my favorite, which makes the colors pop and lay down even more smoothly.

Speaking of Urban Decay Primer Potion, The Ultra Violet Edge, Urban Decay's global initiative to empower women is marking its first anniversary. With your help, last year they donated $528,000 to a variety or organizations that support women, including Women's Global Empowerment Fund. Purchase the specially formulated Eyeshadow Primer Potion Enigma, where 100% of the purchase price is donated to women's empowerment nonprofits by The Ultraviolet Edge.

Currently Obsessed: Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss for Spring 2016.

I think I have gone on and on about how much I love lipgloss. In fact, you can see all of my lipgloss posts here: Lipgloss Posts on Beautiful Makeup Search. To date, I have mentioned lipgloss over 200,000 times on the blog - that's a lot! The latest trend in lips is matte. So when a new, true glossy lipgloss arrives on the scene I get excited! I am very excited and quite obsessed with the newly relaunched Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in its completely new reformulated and reimagined formula. It truly is the ultimate lip gloss offering a ton of shine, color and a whole lot more!

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss features a new glossy formula that delivers high-watt shine in 18 new shades. What's equally exciting and makes this gloss different from the rest is that the formula is ultra-hydrating and plumping — it's really like no other gloss I've ever tried before. The secret to the formula is Dior's Hydra-Volume Complex with hyaluronic acid spheres that captures water into the lips for an instant plumping and deep moisturizing effect. This makes the lips look more plump while they feel moisturized. It does this while adding that super, high shine to the lips.

Dior didn't stop with the formula; there are three shine finishes to Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss. Inspired by Dior runway designs you will not only choose color, keep the finishes in mind: Sparkling, Watery, and Iridescent.

Sparkling - These are ultra-concentrated sparkly shades that adorn lips with saturated pearls to reflect light. They feel a bit gritty on the lips as they are filled with shimmer.

• Gems
• Spring Ball
• Princess
• Shock
• Fancy
• Diorosphere
• Ultradior
• Everdior

Watery - These are easy to wear glossy shades that are more, clean, see-through and saturated.

• Nude
• Tell Me Dior
• Cruise
• Paradise

Iridescent - These shades take on a new dimension as they are infused with contrasting or tone-on-tone pearls. These almost look different depending on the light you wear them in.

• Fantaisie
• Pearl
• Reflected
• Mirrored
• Diorama
• Cosmic

I love the glossy shine and beautiful shades in the Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss collection. The plumping effect is subtle in the Addict Ultra-Gloss, but it is definitely there and something that I notice and like over an average gloss. The hydration is felt and it lasts.

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss sells for $30 each online at dior.com as well as your favorite department store makeup counters such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Dillard's.
