Guess Who: The New Celebrity Faces of OCC

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Anime pack

RuPaul’s Drag Race alums Willam, Detox and Vicky Vox are the first faces of Obssessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Just genius if you ask me! Their mugs will be gracing the packaging of Nail Lacquer and Lip Tar duos in the form of collectible trading cards launching exclusively at Sephora.com on May 7th:

Celebrity drag queens Willam, Detox and Vicky Vox become the first faces of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.   These drag queens are amongst Hollywood’s most famous and can be seen on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Rihanna’s music videos, Nip/Tuck, American Wedding, and from their chart topping singles on iTunes as DWV (Detox, Willam, Vicky) and now on to the packages of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.

Making their debut on May 7, 2013 you can find this dynamic trio wearing their favorite matching Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars and Nail Lacquers in a collection exclusive to Sephora.com.  The celebrity drag queen collection of Lip Tar & Nail Lacquer Duo Packs will each come with a mini Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Brush and Drag Queen Trading Card that Willam, Detox and Vicky Vox can be seen on.

This makeup-loving trio is a natural choice to sport Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics long-lasting Lip Tar, which goes on slick and moist but dries down to a satin finish and densely pigmented Nail Lacquer.  The six packs of Celebrity Drag Queen Lip Tar & Nail Lacquer Duo Packs will each be offered at a special price of $22.50, and will include:

  • Anime – Bright Neon Pink Lip Tar & Nail Lacquer with Willam Trading Card

Photo Diary: Ultra Music Festival 2013

9 Apr

Ultra 2013

I am having a love affair with Miami.  After my visit in October I went back last month to attend Weekend 1 of Ultra Music Festival.  It is like a heavenly playground for fans of electronic music.  I’m more of a hip-hop and R&B girl but even I was impressed by this year’s lineup.  Electronic/dance music has become increasingly more mainstream (I call it the Jersey Shore effect) and names like David Guetta, Calvin Harris, AVICII and Swedish House Mafia definitely caught my attention.  In terms of size it blew Coachella out of the water. You really need a solid game plan when attending with a group because it is easy to get lost.  Our group spent a good chunk of one night on a wild goose chase that I would like to forget.  But I took my chances on the last day and went solo to camp out in front of the live stage to check out the urban portion of their lineup; the beacon of light for that one friend who doesn’t like house music and got dragged to the festival by their friends.  I caught the controversial Azalea Banks (in an equally shocking outfit), got my life during Major Lazer’s set, watched Snoop Dogg Lion blaze the stage and finally the reason why I endured the pains that come with standing in the front row…The Weeknd!  Ever since watching him at Coachella last year, I have been obsessed with his mixtape trilogy. Needless to say I was thrilled to be able to scream (off-key) the lyrics to Wicked Games back at him while I was so close (yet so far away).  Check out more pictures from the weekend (get it? ha ha) after the jump.

11 Mar

A few you requested swatches of the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids lipsticks in my last haul video.  I went out and got the rest of the shades at my local drugstore with the exception of Fire Red which I haven’t noticed on their displays (not that I need another red lipstick) and tried them on for you.  Check out swatches of Pink Pop, Fuchsia Flash, Shocking Coral, Vivid Rose, Electric Orange, Vibrant Mandarin, Neon Red, Hot Plum and Brazen Berry along with my first impressions in the video above.

Spring Makeup Haul: Hourglass, Dior, Sigma & More

5 Mar


Just when I thought I was going on an indefinite makeup no-buy after the holidays, several beauty brands coaxed me out of retirement with some new offerings this Spring.  I was literally stalking my local Sephora stores (I’m talking daily visits) for the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder and Dior’s Rosy Glow blush that has been making the favorites round on YouTube.  Check them out as well as the other damage I did in the video above.
