Haul; Mostly Highend Makeup

Hey,

Lately I have done a bit of shopping, I made an order from Mac, Sephora, and Urban Decay. I also picked up a few things from Wal Mart. Starting with Mac I just got two eye shadows in Gesso and Antiqued. Gesso is a matte white and Antiqued is a shimmer bronze shade,


Then I ordered from Urban Decay, when I order from a brands site instead of Sephora I only buy items that are either on sale or exclusively sold on their site. The three items I got are on sale and should still be on the site. I got two cream blushers in Greedy which sheers out to be a nice berry and Quickie which gives the most beautiful pinkish peach glow. I also got the Deluxe Shadow palette.



From Sephora I bought a Stila Lip Glaze Trio, the colors are Peach Blossom, Pink Orchid, and Lilac. I also got the Becca Beach Tint Duo, this is a brand I haven't seen or heard much about or even tried till now, I really like these though they are really pigmented and gorgeous colors. It's one of those products that a little goes a long way. The colors are Watermelon and Fig, Fig is nude and Watermelon is mid tone pink.


The next thing I got was the Stila Trio in Warm, I love Stila eyes shadow and these are such a great deal, the colors are Brulee, Sorbet and Truffle. Brulee is a matte cream, Sorbet is a shimmery peach and Truffle is a bronze shade. All of these are on the light side but can give enough dimension without having to add in more colors.


 In my opinion the most exciting thing I bought in this haul the Nars And God Created the Women, this is my first Nars product and this palette is absolutely gorgeous, it is very small but still very nice. The colors in this palette are Alhambra, Bellisima, Kalahari, Galapagos, Coconut Grove, and Night Clubbing


 From Wal Mart I got a Covergirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Watermelon Twist, I'm a little late on picking one of these up as usual. I got another Maybelline Color Tattoo this one is in Inked Pink, this looks so beautiful with Scratch from the previously mentioned Urban Decay palette. Lastly I bought another Covergirl product I got the Flamed Out mascara in Very Black Blaze this one is also water resistant, I'm going to review this in a week or two.


Have you tried any of these?

August Shopping List

Hey,
Can you believe it's already August!? Summer has gone by so fast! So for anyone confused by the title of this post let me explain. I have decided to start a new monthly post where I share my list of things I want to pick up in the month, from high end to drugstore, things from skin care, nail polish, perfume and makeup, possibly even hair! Exciting! Then at the end of the month do a haul on everything that I picked up that was on the list. Now I wont just do one big monthly haul nor will I only buy things on the list, I will have more then one haul a month but this will ensure at least two because I have decided to spilt this up into two separate hauls, nail polish and everything else, reason being not everyone is a polish junkie like myself, and polish can be quite long and I do hoard it so it will just be easier to have a separate haul on it, with that said unlike the monthly haul for all other items on the list, which polish will have its separate list in this post; the polish hauls will be more then just the list but hopefully the list will help minimize the amount of polish I hoard! I have seen a few other bloggers do this before and I just loved the idea so lets jump right into the products. Before getting into this I'm going to explain my list a bit better, it's spilt between beauty and nails, in the beauty there is high end and drugstore, within that it will be sub categorized in sets, face, lips, eyes and other. If there is a lot of products from one brand instead of typing each time the brand I will sub categorize it into that brand. Sets will be the only thing with links.

High end:
Sets:
Super Star Beauty Essentials set (Sephora) 
Sephora Favorites Lash Stash To Go

Other Brands:

June Favorites 2013

Hey,
Were half way through 2013! This summer is flying by and it's that time for monthly favorites, I haven't done one of these in a while and I don't have to many things but I still wanted to share what I have been loving this month!

Lets start with the thing I have loved the most, Naked Basics. What can I say, everyone raved about this palette and what's not to love a palette of five matte neutrals and one shimmer. I have used this palette loads throughout the month, its so great for grunge looks to classic pin up looks. Out of all the colors my favorite has to be Walk of Shame, just a matte skin tone but yet it is so beautiful and great on the lid.

Next are the two most used lip colors of the month, I rave about these lipsticks all the time and that would be the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks, especially the Kate Moss line. The color I have obsessed over this month is 110, a gorgeous bright coral, great for summer. The other lip color I have loved is one of the L'oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Rose On and On, I hate the packaging but love the color and product, I don't feel like it last for ever but I do like the texture, it's not for everyone since it is quite sticky and not always very comfortable/

Back to eye products, the Rimmel Lycra Lash Extender is so nice, at first it wasn't anything special but now it's so amazing it lengthens and add a bit of volume. Another Rimmel product I have been loving are the ScandalEyes kohl liners in Dark Brown and Nude, I have been using the brown in my tightline and switching between it and the nude in my waterline. I also really like using the nude under my brow to really highlight and make my brow stand out. Last thing for the eyes would be the Maybelline 24 hour color tattoo in Barely Branded. Just shimmer skin tone, its great under shadows, I don't personally use this on its on, I tried it once and creased on my in an hour.

Last product would be the ELF Contouring and Blush Duo, this is the original one. The bronzer is the perfect shade for my skin. I personally love a strong contour and this give me an almost drag queen one!

I have seriously been terrible at blogging these past week, but I have a few post coming out this next week. What are you favorite products this month?

Night Look Using Colors

Hey,
Using a color with a black is one of the easiest ways to use colored eye shadow and makes a great night look! This look is great for summer nights out and you can switch up the color on your lid with any color. I have a look fairly similar to this look that you can check out here.

What I used:
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion
  • Wet n Wild Cream Eyeliner in black
  • Coastal Scents 42 Double Matte palette; black, purples, white, lightest brown
  • Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara, orange cap
What I did:
  1. I primed my eyes and set that with my face powder.
  2. I drew the shape I wanted with the black cream eyeliner and filled in where I was going to place the black eye shadow.
  3. Then I patted on a black eye shadow over that and blended out the edges and into the crease.
  4. I used the lightest brown shadow in the crease, you don't want this to be noticeable so afterwards go over it with the black again.
  5. I patted the lightest purple shadow on the inner part of my lid, then a shade that was about two shades darker in the middle, then the darkest purple on what's left of the lid. While doing this blend each color into each other, since these shades are similar they will blend into each other easily.
  6. Apply a thin line of eyeliner

    on the top and in the tight line and waterline, set this with the black liner.
  7. Smudge the black shadow on the outer third of the lower lash line, a mix of the darkest and medium purple in the middle and the lightest in the inner third. Remember to blend these all into each other.
  8. Highlight under your brow bone and inner corner with a white eye shadow
  9. Lastly apply a few coats of your favorite mascara and/or false lashes. Fill in your brow and finish your face.
This look, looks best with lots of bronzer, a little highlighter and a nude lip.

Collective Haul

Hey,

I'm not going to waste any time and just jump right into these products because there is quite a few so lets start with my favorite lipstick! I also want to add I haven't tried many of these most were bought today.

 
From left to right: Revlons 012 Sky Pink and 668 Primrose, Rimmel 110, 111 Kiss of Life, and 17 and lastly Maybelline from the Vivids in Shocking Coral, as you probably know I love Rimmel lipsticks and I'm getting pretty close to having all of the red ones, I'm patiently waiting for the Apcolips lipglosses to come to the US but I have a feeling from what I have hear about those they will be like the Kate lipsticks and I will feel the need to get them all, does anyone know when they are coming to the US?
 
 
From left to right: 110(swatched twice), 111 Kiss of Life, 17, Sky Pink, Primrose

 
From left to right: Red Dynamite, Spice (both not mentioned yet but next), Shocking Coral and 110 again.
 
 
Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl pencil liner in Nude, Lasting Finish lip liners in 021 Red Dynamite, I thought that I got a different color but you can never have enough reds and 011 Spice, I love these liners I haven't used these specific colors yet but all three are fantastic!
 
 
What kind of haul would this be without nail polish! From left to right: Maybelline Color Show in Orange Fix, Rimmel 60 seconds in 710 Sunny Days, 220 Sage All the Rage, and 311 Caramel Cupcake, Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in 250 Mudslide and 290 Commander in Chic, even though it's summer I have been loving and by that I mean obsessing over nudes lately, especially ones leaning on the taupe side.
 
 
Salon Perfect Lashes in Demi Wispies, these are gorgeous I wore them for my graduation and they looked amazing without any mascara! Revlon Clear Precision Lash Adhesive, I like this but I don't think its as great as everyone makes it out to be, maybe it was just the way  used it but it did last the whole time I needed it to so I have no complaints. Rimmel Clean Finish Matte in Classic Beige, sorry for the crappy pictures, I really like this with a primer and setting powder it last the whole day for me, it doesn't stay matte but it doesn't look bad either.
 
 
Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in 70 Barely Branded, I finally caved and got one! Rimmel Match Perfect concealer in medium and Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro in 002, this when swatched was really nice so I have high hopes for it and all of these products!
 
 
Lastly I finally picked up Naked 2, I already have the original but I knew I wanted both and what can I say I am a sucker for mattes so I had to get the Naked Basics too, and already Walk of Shame is my new favorite shadow!
 
Next time Rite Aid has a 40% off Wet n Wild I plan on picking some stuff up so be expecting a haul from that soon! Have you tried any of these, what are your thoughts on them? Sorry for bad swatches and pictures! Also for this not being anything more then right to the point to get through it, but a lot of these I didn't have much of an opinion on yet, if there is anything you would like reviewed let me know!
 
Also I know I have been very on and off with my blogging but I have been super busy and I should get back to track soon now that I'm done with school, I also mught do a clothing haul soon, even though fashion isn't my thing.

March Favorites! 2013

Hey,

This March has been crazy for me but it really did seem to just fly by. I was looking through my makeup and picking through the things I have really been loving this month and it turns out I have been a bit lip obsessed. This is also my 100 post! Sorry for the long paragraph and the shine in the photos.


Starting with the top row, Hard Candy Glamoflauge, I have this in light. It is so light, even on me and I have fairly pale skin, I like to use this in the center of my face without a foundation to conceal my redness and then bronze the outer part of my face, it is full coverage though and fairly thick. The two blushes I have been loving this month are Jordana Rose Silk and Rimmel Pink Sorbet, Rose Silk is a medium pink and Pink Sorbet is a nice peachy pink, both are so pretty for spring and summer and go with pretty much any look. The main look I've been doing this month has been using the Wet n Wild trio in Walking on Eggshells, I use the crease color all over my lid and through the crease, the brow bone shade as suggested and the lid shade as an inner corner highlight, I do add in another dark brown shade into my outer v. Now for lips, I have been loving bold lips lately and the new Rimmel Kate Moss matte lipsticks, 101 is a nude/pink that is truly a my lips but better shade for me, this has turned out to be my perfect nude. 107 is a gorgeous berry, I have been wearing this when I want a bold lip over a red, and I honestly love red lips so that just screams this lipstick is a must. Along with the nude lips I have been loving the combo of yet again another Rimmel product, their Lasting Finish 1,000 Kisses lip liner in Natural and Tiramisu, I use Tiramisu on the edge and then fill in the corners with it too and use Natural in the center to add dimension. For glosses this month I have been loving Rimmel Stay Glossy in Here to Stay, I love this over the lip liner combo, it makes a gorgeous nude lip. The other gloss I've been loving this month is by Milani it's one of their Crystal Glosses in Pucker Up, this is so gorgeous over the Rimmel lipstick in 101. Lastly I decided to try something new for my brows so I picked up Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel, I don't like the brush part but the color is perfect for me and I do like the actual product.

Overall this month I have been loving Rimmel, what are some of your favorites this month? I have also really been loving curling my hair lately with small and medium hot rollers and hair oils.

This or That Tag!

Hey,

I stumbled upon this tag the other day and thought it would be a really fun tag to do. I'm not going to tag anyone, but it is a fun tag to both read and do :)

Makeup:
Blush or Bronzer: bronzer, I use to hate bronzer and contouring but lately I have been obsessed!
Lip gloss or Lipstick: lipstick, never been a fun of gloss
Eye liner or Mascara: mascara, I feel this can do the job of both if done right :)
Foundation or Concealer: concealer, I don't actually wear foundation very much
Neutral or Color eye shadow: neutral, colors take to much time and are so easy to mess up.
Pressed or Loose eye shadows: pressed, loose are to messy and time consuming.
Brushes or Sponges: brushes, I feel they do a better job.

Nails:
OPI or China Glaze: China Glaze, it so much cheaper and just as good in mu opinion.
Long or Short: long, I love long nails, but my actual nails don't grow long at all!
Acrylic or Natural: this one is really tough, I love acrylic nails I just don't like the price or the damage they cause, so I am going to go with natural.
Brights or Darks: darks, I go for darks more then brights, although I prefer pastels.
Flower or No flower: no flower, I have no nail art skills so flowers and other designs don't ever happen on my nails.

Body:
Perfume or Body splash: perfume, they last longer, although I do love the Victora's Secret Pink body splash, but they have perfume quailties.
Lotion or Body butter: body butter, I have super dry hands in the winter and lotion just doesn't cut it.
Body wash or Soap: body wash, does anyone else feel like soap leaves a weird sticky feeling behind, or is it just me?
Lush or Other bath company: there isn't a lush in my area, nor am I a big fan of bath type companies, but I'll go with Bath and Body Works since their stuff smells good.

Fashion:
Jeans or Sweat pants: neither, leggings all the way! I would pick jeans out of the two.
Long sleeve or Short: another neither, I actually like mid length, but I pick long.
Dresses or Skirts: dress, skirts are to complicated for me.
Stripes or Plaid: stripes, I am honestly not a fan at all of plaid
Flip flops or Sandals: sandals, I don't wear either to often but I feel sandals look nicer.
Scarves or Hats: scarves, hats look weird on my.
Studs or Dangly earrings: studs, I like how simple they are.
Necklaces or Bracelets: necklaces, I've never been much of a jewelry person but necklaces are more simple then bracelets, for me at least/
Heels or Flats: heels, I wear heels everyday.
Cowboy boots or Riding boots: Riding boots, not really a fan of the cowgirl look.
Jacket or Hoodie: Jackets, they look nicer and more done.
Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe: Charlotte Russe, I don't have a Forever21 in my area and Charlotte Russe has amazing shoes.
Abercombie or Hollister: There is no Abercombie in my area, and I have never been in Hollister, it makes me nauseous just walking past it.
Saks 5th or Nordstrom: neither or these stores are in my area, so I have never been to either.

Hair:
Curly or Straight: curly, I hate straightening my hair, and it never stays straight.
Bun or Ponytail: buns, I love doing those sock buns.
Bobby pins or Butterfly clips: bobby pins, they are more discreet.
Hair spray or Gel: hairspray, I never do anything with my hair while it's wet and I think it would be odd to add gel once it's dry/
Long or Short: long, I just feel I look weird with short hair.
Light or Dark: dark, I have always loved my hair dark.
Side sweep Bangs or full bangs: side swept, I have done both, and let me just say that the full bangs were a bad idea for me, although I do love the way they look I just can't pull them off.
Up or Down: down, it's like a security blanket for me to have my hair down.

Random:
Rain or Shine: rain, I know that's weird, but I love the sound of rain, especially falling asleep to it.
Summer or Winter: winter, I love snow!
Fall or Spring: Fall, it is so pretty and I lover sweaters.
Chocolate or Vanilla: chocolate, excepts cake, I prefer vanilla cake and ice cream. So maybe vanilla
East coast or West coast: East Coast, that's where I'm from and will always live.

Leave your answers below, if you have done this or do it please leave a link below, I would love to read your answers!

ELF vs. Wet n Wild: Cream Eyeliner


Metallic Olive
        VS 












Hey,
It has been a while since I've done one of these, actually since I have done a review. Today I wanted to talk to you about cream eyeliners, I have used both of these for quite some time, I have actually went through an ELF cream eyeliner.

So the basics of the two are they are both really black and cheap. The ELF packaging is much better then the Wet n Wild packaging, personally I feel the ELF looks nicer then the WnW, the WnW is actually quite cheap looking. Both these eyeliners are 3usd. The WnW stays on longer then the ELF liner but they are both quite long lasting. Both seem to take just as long to dry out. They are both smooth and creamy, they are a harder cream then those that are liquidy. I have a review on the ELF liner which you can see here. These both come with a brush, the ELF one is much nicer, the WnW actually hurt my eye when I gave it a try.

Over all I think they are both great, but I would recommend the WnW over the ELF, because in the US it's more obtainable and a bit better, but both are nice and would do a great job. I feel you can't go wrong with one of these liners and either or both are worth giving a try.

Have you tried these yet, which do you prefer?

Review: Lorac Ooh La Lace Palette

LORAC - Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette  Hey,

I realized that a. I haven't been posting lately and b. I haven't ever reviewed anything high end. I personally don't purchase much high end makeup, because I'm still a teenager and I buy my own makeup and don't have a job, so therefore high end isn't always in my budget, but I do on occasion like to splurge on something. This palette was my first high end purchase; I feel like it, well the brand actually isn't talked much about in the beauty community, and to me that is insane, Lorac is an AMAZING brand, well for eyeshadows at least, and it's also fairly cheap, you may disagree with me on that but I personally feel 36 dollars for a six pan eyeshadow palette isn't bad at all, that's six dollars (I'm using US currency) for an eyeshadow. That are huge too, so its going to last you forever! This palette has been out for over a year.

This palette is adorable, it has the cutest name and packaging. Seriously, who doesn't love lace? The palettes is silver with black lace on the outside; the inside is sparkly black, with a mirror. There are three matte shades, a dark brown, black, and gray. The other three shades are shimmers, these colors are an cream, nude, and a bronze. Here are the names of the shadows: Lust (cream with shimmer), Smolder (matte gray), Risqué (matte black), Stunner (light bronze with shimmer), Knockout (bronze with shimmer), Racy (matte brown). Other then the adorable packaging the bronze shade is what attracted me to this palette, it's such a gorgeous shadow. This is a baked palette so the shadows can be used wet or dry, all of them are pigmented. The shimmer shades are better in pigmentation then the matte, but the matte ones are still really nice, also none of these are chalky or have a lot of fall out. You can create several different smokey eyes and day time looks with this palette. Looks for a seasons and occasions.

Overall I feel this is a really great palette, and worth the money. It has good pigment, is fairly affordable. Includes shades that you're likely to get use out of all of them, personally I when I buy a palette and only use half of the shadows I feel it was a bit of a waste but this was definitely not the case. There is a good mix of mattes and shimmers, many looks can be created with it too. The only down fall of this palette is you can not get outside of the US, but if you are in the US I really suggest checking this palette out, it can be purchased online or in stores at Ulta and Sephora, and of course www.loraccosmetics.com.

Have you tried Lorac or this palette? What were your thoughts on them?

September Favorites!


Isn't this cute? I find it on google, I was going to use a picture of all my favorites but I couldn't find my phone or camera.
Hey,

So I wrote this on the first, and I went all day not realizing that it was October, I just hope I didn't write the date any where...

So the first thing I have been loving is the Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer, I had gotten a sample of this and the MUFE Full Coverage concealer a while back and I have been using this one more and I absolutely love this concealer, I'm going to give the other one a try too, but I think I might get the full size of this concealer.

Another favorite of mine this month and the past three has been Coastal Scents Fall Festival palette, I'm not going to talk about this too much, since I rave about it constantly, but I am going to add the link here for the review I have on it.

This month I was using a combo of two Rimmel mascaras, Lycra Lash Extender and Extra Wow; I love the way this combo makes my lashes look. I have been testing out the Wet n Wild cream liner, to compare it to the ELF one, and it is definitely a favorite of the month. I also wanted to mention the Avon Perfect Eyebrow pencil, it is a dual ended pencil, one side spoolie other side the brow pencil and it is really great, I think they might be doing away with them so I figured I would mention these so there's still a chance to try before they are gone, and I really do love these, I use this every day for my brows, it is my all time favorite thing for my brows and its cheap. As I was typing this an Avon commercial came on...

For blush this month I have been using an ELF Studio line blusher in Blushing Rose, it is such a gorgeous blush for fall, I love the way this looks in the backs of my cheeks half in the hallows and half on the bone. Revlon Colorburst? Lipgloss in Rose Gold has been my go to lipgloss this pretty much just lives in my bag now, it is so pretty I really don't know if they still have this one but if they do check it out it is so pretty for fall, or just any season.

I have been in a rut lately, using the same products, but changing up my eye makeup, and by that I mean using four different colors and just changing the placement, I think I'm going to do one of those basket of the week things, that make you switch it up and get some use out of other things, maybe if I do I'll make a post about it.

What have your favorites this month been? I should have a late mani monday posted later today.

Favorite fall looks

Hey,

I have been super busy this week and didn't have time to make a post till now and barely have time to do this, so if this makes no sense at all from time to time that's why, although I do that naturally too. Back on topic I wanted to share my favorite fall looks from other people whither they are on blogs or youtube. Be warned a lot of these are going to be either dark or involve red; those are my favorite looks for fall.

This first one is a pretty recent video from icallitambrosia, it's a really gorgeous brown smokey eye with gold, check it out here. I love smokey eyes, and this one is no exception.

This one is another recent video from goldiestarling, it's actually a Halloween look but the eye alone would make a gorgeous smokey eye for fall, although I wouldn't personally use the gold in it but it's still stunning even with the gold. Check it out here. This is a Halloween look so the face part isn't very fall themed or wearable but the actual makeup its self is.

Another smokey eye, this one is by MakeupbyTiffanyD, it's on here blog although she does have video for it too. This one is an emerald smokey eye, it has to be one of the most gorgeous smokey eyes I have ever seen, it's definitely worth checking out, you can see that here.
 
I told you I love cranberry and smokey looks so what's better then the two combined? This look is on the makeupgeek website but is by a blogger Jangsara, I couldn't find the look on her site so I'm just going to link you to the one on makeupgeek.com you can check it out here. This one is more cranberry where the other one that I previously mentioned had plum in it too.
 
For this last one I wanted to include a classic look that's great all year but one of my favorites for the fall and winter. This one is a simple red lip and winged liner, you can not go wrong with this look, it's always in style and a timeless look. You can check it out here, it's by Lookers Blog.
 
I figured I would link you to a few of the looks I have on my blog that are good for fall well I'm sharing a few of my favorites from others. Classic smokey eye,  brown smokey eye, copper and orange so I'm telling you this is great for fall and it is I love copper for fall, I have a look coming up soon like this but more red, well anyways I have this titled as a summer look and now I'm saying it's a good fall look, hah, and lastly cranberry eye look.

I hope this gave you some inspiration for your makeup this fall, if there are any blog post you love or have written about a fall look share it below, I would love to see them! Does it bother you when post have no pictures? If it does please tell me, I often do this and always wonder if anyone is irritated by the lack of photos.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes, spell check doesn't want to work and I am not always a perfect speller.

Back to school makeup part 2!

Hey,
Like I said no mascara, and the liner was
more noticeable in person.
You may have seen my last look, you can see that (put in link). As I said in that post light makeup isn't really for me, but I know that's what people like for school so that's what most people do; am I the only one who doesn't enjoy back to school looks since they are too light? Since I don't like to wear light, barely there makeup I decided to do a darker but still very wearable look using all of the same products as the last look! This look is actually more simple then the last one.

Products:
Primer
Coastal Scents Fall Festival palette, you need a skin tone shimmery shade and a matte one(you can use your setting powder), a bronze, and a dark brown, you don't have to use that palette though. The numbers of the shades I used were: # M004 Chamois Nude, # ME017 Light Apricot, and # S030 Cherry Chocolate.
Brown eyeliner
Either a bronze, white, or skin tone eyeliner, I used a bronze one.
Mascara, I actually didn't use any in this look because I didn't feel like putting any on when I was just going to take it off, but normally I would have.

First as always I primed my lids and set that, then I put the bronze shade on my lid and blended it into the crease also. I then took the dark brown shade and blended it into my outer v and half way into my crease. I blended all of the edges and highlighted my brow bone with the matte shade, last for the shadows I highlighted my inner corner with the shimmery skin tone.

Now onto liner I did a line on my upper lash line tapering it inwards; for some reason you can really see it in the pictures but in person it was quite noticeable and dark. I then lined my lower lash line and half of my water line with the shame dark brown liner. I used the bronze liner on the rest of my lash line and water line where the brown wasn't. I set the brown with of course a brown and the bronze with the color I used on my lids. Lastly just apply mascara.

This look is noticeable, but still very wearable. It's good for school, work, the rest of summer, or anytime.
