Another Wet n Wild haul!

Hey,
So I had bought these things on last Thursday and this most recent Tuesday. Wet n Wild isn't on sell for 40% off currently, or at least at my local Rite Aid, but it might be at yours, but I had two three dollar off coupons, and yes I could have waited till it was back on sale but I couldn't wait to get these five lipsticks from their spring collection, I do want to note that this is the focus point of my haul. Oh and something else I just want to mention to you all, I went to Burlington on Tuesday and was looking at their shoes hoping to find something like the Black Suede Jefferey Campbell Litas not them just something similar but instead I found Steve Madden Pammyy Wedges for 39.99usd! How amazing is that, so I advise you to check your local Burlington if you live near one, they might have some Steve Madden shoes and those shoes are originally 99.95usd so that's a 60% savings, I just wanted to share that amazing deal with you.


So lets just get right down to my favorite thing of these purchases the lipsticks, I just did a review on these, you can see that here. I got a total of six from the Mega Last Lip Color line, I seriously love these, you can read more about these though on my review. So the colors I got from right to left are, well first I have a Natural Blend Lip Shimmer in Tart this is a really pretty color and looks darker in the package then they show up of course since its a tinted lip balm, typically I avoid shimmer lip products but I really like this, sorry this got a little cut off but you can still see a bit of it. Then is 903C Just Peachy, all the rest of these are the Mega Last Lip Colors. The next ones are 968 Pinkerbell, 967 Dollhouse Pink, 966 Don't Blink Pink, 969 24 Carrot Gold, and lastly 965 Cherry Pinking. Sorry if the swatches don't do them justice. I compared the pink shades to Think Pink from the same line and they're all different but still very pretty.

Heres the names and a random picture of that lip shimmer:


If you live in the states or have Wet n Wild avalible, do give these a try, they are amazing and I can't rave about these enough, they are cheap and pigmenated!













You can read the names and the numbers, I personally love them all, and I don't think they are permanent since the only have numbers, except for the Just Peachy which is in the permanent line. Also there are six in the spring line, I only got five though.

Sorry for the tilted picture.

I mentioned this next product in my July favorites, you can see that here. I mentioned the Catwalk Pink shade in that and my last haul, I loved that one so I decided to pick up another two, there are for of them in total, a rose, pink highlighter, peach, and bronze shade, I now have them all except the bronze, which I will get one day but I don't feel the need to have that since I'm pale so that wouldn't be as good as the rest are for me. I got Spotlight Peach, this is more of a blush for me, the Catwalk pink is a total highlighter and the next one is Strike-A-Pose-Rose, these could be both or go either way if  depending on your skin tome, if you a medium to dark complexion this would be a great highlighter for you. I really like these and suggest them to those looking for a good cheap powder highlighter.

Lastly I got a few eye things, if you read my last haul you might remember me mentioning that I had wanted to pick up the trios in Walking on Eggshells(left) and I'm Getting Sun Burnt(right), but my closest Rite Aid was out of stock in both, I went to a different Rite Aid and they had both of them so I picked them up. I have a look coming up tomorrow featuring the Walking on Eggshells trio. These are the Color Icon Trio Eyeshadows by the way. In the middle of the trios in a Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner, in 886 Black, they only come in black and an eggplant shade, I haven't tried this yet but I'll review it after I have.

Thanks for reading, please leave any request below!

This were all purchased by me.

Mani Monday on a Wednesday!? Peachy Keen with a Gold Sheen!

Hey,
So I'm a little late. I did paint my nails mid day Monday and took the pictures also Monday, but I was busy Sunday, hence why this is late, typically I paint my nails Sunday and write the post that night so that I can have it wrote and scheduled to go up on Monday. But I was busy all day Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, but here is my nail color this week.

First I want to state that the Blue Me Away by Sally Hansen stained my fingers while taking it off so if you see blue that's why and that it did stain my nails a bit too, so that wasn't too great. This week I went with my current favorite polish, China Glaze Peachy Keen, I love this color its so great for summer and even winter and fall. On top of this I put an Avon polish, these are my favorite non salon brand polishes, they are usually on sale for 3usd, so they're cheap too, the color I have on top of this is Pale Gold, this is discontinued, sorry about that. I like this combo but I do like these alone more, but the Pale Gold which I don't want to talk about too much since it's discontinued, but if you come across it , it makes a great over coat, it looks best in my opinion on pale pinks, I think it would look good on black too. Also I'm sure you've all seen Peachy Keen  and  I have had this  in a past Mani Monday, is a nice mid tone peach, its not pale but not really bright. It really is a gorgeous color, and I think you should check it out.

I used my typical base and top coat, Seche Clear and Seche Vite. Which I did review, you can see that here.

Review: Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color

Hey,



Picture from
http://www.beautyjunkiesunite.com/WP/2012/03/26/reviews-swatches-photos-wet-n-wild-megalast-lipcolor-lipstick-new-cherry-picking-dont-blink-pink-dollhouse-pinkerbell-24-carrot-gold-purty-persimmion-spring/
and not even the shades I mention, but it still gives you a feel for what the packaging looks like, they also have clear cylinder lids with a flat/curved top.

     I got onto my computer to write this, its 11:14 est if you were curious and its 7/28/12 and I opened the Internet I have SO many tabs that come up, its sad and within the time of deleting them all I forgot what I was getting on the Internet for, but all is well because I remembered and that was to share with you my love for the Mega Last Lip Color by Wet n Wild. So far, or at least of the time of me writing this I have three, it only takes two of one product unless its foundation, concealer, or a setting powder for me to establish an opinion on it; I feel you can't judge a product with only giving one a try since that one could have been the not so great one of the collection. Anyways, I mumble a lot, I like to think it adds personality and humanness to my blog. I love these lipsticks, now they aren't pretty if you don't moisturize your lips first for at least five minutes before adding the lipstick or if you have dry chapped lips. I have them in 901B Think Pink, 907C Mauve Outta Here, and lastly 903C Just Peachy. I just realised this will be my first post of August, and these will be in my July favorites which will be yesterday, its like the future meeting the past so confusing to type. I'm so sorry for me being side tracked, seriously on to the review now.

     I had gotten the 901B Think Pink shade while in search of a pale pink, if your pale give a pale pink a try; a lot of people say it looks terrible on pale people but I think it looks really good so I recommend this shade to those with pale to light skin. These lipsticks aren't drying unless you don't moisturize your lips first. I recommend applying lipbalm first before you do your makeup to insure your lips really soak it in and get as much moisture as possible around the time you apply your moisturizer. 907C Mauve Outta Here is a really gorgeous pinkie mauve and the next one I bought, I featured it and the Think Pink shade in my most recent haul which you can see here. I really like both of these colors alone or mixed together and they look great with and without gloss, you know its a good color when it looks great without gloss too. Lastly I have 903C Just Peachy, I'm a sucker for names that involve peach, like Peachy Keen by China Glaze favorite polish for its name and of course its gorgeous color. This is a pink peach so its very wearable, I like mixing this with the Think Pink shade to make a nice pink coral, but its gorgeous on its own too, I find Wet n Wild always make their peach products more pink then peach.
  
    These are opaque, have a good lasting power maybe three to four hours, which is good seeing they are under three dollars and they come in 26 shades ranging from nudes and pinks to reds and dark purples. Personally I don't believe they have a smell but it could just be me. I like these much more then their Silk Finish lipsticks which are mostly shimmer lipsticks were these are matte, which does mean they will sit in lines and cracks and look even worse on chapped lips but for me I find yet again moisturizing your lips solves the problems; this really is something you should do before any lipstick though. These don't feather(that's without lip liner) and they don't really move much either, they don't slide of my lips and onto my teeth like some lipsticks.

     These cost around 1.99 to 2.99 usd and can be found at Rite Aid, some Wal Marts, Walgreens, CVS, and I think Targets and Kmarts but I'm not sure. Rite Aid always has 40% off Wet n Wild so just look around for a good deal, but either way these are still a great price.

     Overall these are great lipsticks and I would recommend them to everyone, they are cheap, have a decent color selection, have no scent, are often on sale, have a nice finish, and they are amazing lipsticks. If you can get your hands on Wet n Wild I do recommend giving these a try.

July Favorites

Hey,

I missed the edge of the photo on this last picture, with the black border... Total fail :)

    July went by really fast, so today I'm going to share with you my favorites of July. I honestly don't wear much makeup at all during the summer, so come fall and winter, even spring, I'll have more favorites each month. Also a few of these are pretty new to me and were in my last haul, but since I got them I have been obsessing over them and know that they would have been used all month if I had gotten them sooner.

       So this month I have mainly been using my Fall Festival palette from Coastal Scents, which now that I think about it is strange since its summer and that palette is fall themed... It is a great palette for any time of the year and I do think I'll get a lot of use out of it for the rest of summer, and the upcoming fall and winter. This next one is pretty new to me but ever since I got it about a week maybe a little longer ago I have been using it everyday that I wear makeup and I love it! I just now realized I didn't say what it was, its the Wet n Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in Cat Walk pink, a really gorgeous pink highlighter.

      For the lips I have been loving 901B Think Pink by Wet n Wild its a Mega Last Lip color and I have a review on these coming up tomorrow. I love this shade and these lipsticks, I have had this one the longest and have been wearing it everyday that I wear makeup since I got it too. On with the lip products, when I wasn't wearing the Think Pink lipstick, in other words before I got it I was loving this lip gloss in Park Avenue Punch its a NYC Kiss Gloss, its a really pretty color for summer and I did wear this a few times after I got the lipstick and even with it, this also smells amazing.

    Another new product to me, also from Wet n Wild is the Idol Eye Creme shadow in Pixie this is such a gorgeous creme shadow, I love this on my inner corner and waterline but it also makes a gorgeous base too. This looks dirty and was in my June favorites too, its the Colossal Volume Express Mascara by Maybelline, I seriously love this and have a feeling that once I do through my stash of unopened mascaras I will be repurchasing this. Lastly I have been loving the ELF under eye concealer and highlighter from their studio line, I don't really like the highlighter side but the concealer is really nice, I've had this since January but I just lately have really been wearing it and I really like it, I do two layers of this under my eyes, a thick/medium layer then after that's blended and light layer and in this layer I mix in a bit of the highlighter and it looks really good, I find if I don't set it soon it creases bad though, but once set it stays all day.

How to relieve cramps and stomach pains

Hey,

So I wanted to make a post about relieving menstrual cramps and other stomach pains, I personally feel women should feel comfortable talking among each other about things such as the menstrual cycle. I have met people before, one of my closest friends was very put back and just wasn't comfortable talking about this subject, she finally got comfortable with it, but to me this is something most of us deal with and either will, are or have went through and it should be something we can comfortably talk about to each other. I just want to put out there that if this stuff makes you feel uncomfortable then by all means click out but do understand this is natural and not something we should be ashamed to talk about with other girls.

I am someone who suffers from severe cramps, now cramps are something that a lot of us suffer with and none of us understand each others pain because every ones cramps are different. My methods are not just for menstrual cramps but for other cramp like pains, these are things I found also help with IBS(irritable bowl syndrome) and with that being said I want to go over what that is since a lot of people seem to think its something else. IBS is when you get terrible random abdominal pains due to stress. They can come and go and you can often go up to a year and on without sign of IBS, people often think it makes your bowl uncontrollable and that's not true, I'm not saying some don't suffer from that but not everyone get that. I do have IBS, I have had it for around 8-9 years and it took us forever to find out what these pains were but during the time I have found many ways to either lesser the pain or eliminate the pain.

So the first thing whither you are suffering from menstrual cramps or IBS, eliminate stress. Being stressed can cause IBS and it can make your menstrual cramps worse. Overall being stressed isn't good for you and can cause other health problems so its just best to lower your stress level as much as possible. Find ways to lower your stress and keep it down, whither its doing yoga for thirty minutes a day or just taking an hour or so to yourself taking a hot bath and just relaxing. Its very important to find time for yourself to relax no matter how busy and stressful your life is.

Next would be heat, I find that going to sleep with a heat pad on my stomach tend to get rid of the cramps that I already have and then prevent them for the following day. Heat is great for cramps and other pains such as muscle pains. You can use things like heat pads or just take a hot bath which not only is relaxing but the heat helps eliminate your cramps.

Now its important to know what type of pain relieving pill works for you, this is only when all else fails or if you don't have time to do the other things. I have tried most of the pain relieving pills, and none of them seemed to work for me except Pamprin and Excedrin, but you may be different. If you can't find any at all that help you, I advise you to speak to your doctor and see if they can put you on something that will help.

Sticking with the pill thing, if you can and do keep track of your menstrual cycle take your cramp relieving pill for the week before your menstrual cycle, so you would want to take it twice a day for the week before you start your menstrual cycle. This was suggested to me from my doctor, I personally don't have a menstrual cycle that is regular enough to do this so I can't vouch as to whither it works but I would still suggest giving it a try if you can.

Now I was always told exercises helps with stomach pains and I was very skeptical about this until trying it, now this relieves stress so it really does help. Personally I find doing things such as crunches help or stretches and things on those lines, but running may be what does it for you.

I have never met a person who has said taking a nap doesn't help so if all else fails take a nap, and like I said before napping with a heat pad to hopefully prevent the pains for the rest of the day once you wake up. I really do advise everyone to have a heat pad, they are good for back pains, muscle pains and menstrual cramps.  

These are just the things that help me, please share with me any things that help you, I'm always interested in trying new ways and I will update this with any more ways I find or that are shared with me.

Thanks for reading, please leave any request down below! I will have a facial up next week.

Cranberry

Hey,

My liner looked better in person, I promise! Also the flash washes it out a bit, its darker then this but not insanely darker.

    So lately I've been busy and in order for me to get a look out there and for it to be good and just getting all the steps is a lot with me being busy so until then I'm going to be just doing walk throughs. This week I wanted to share this look with you, its a wearable cranberry look. I'm a neutral girl and to me this is wearable. This is also a good way to wear red tones without looking crazy.

Products used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Coastal Scents Fall Festival Palette, the shades I used are,  M004 Chamois Nude, ME017 Light Apricot, S017 American Rose,  ME015 Raisin Berry, and S030 Cherry Chocolate
NYC Sunny Bronzer
Avon Glimmerstick in Brown Chocolate
Maybelline Colossal mascara

     First thing I did as I always do is prime my eyelids, then I set that with the M004 Chamois Nude, which I also use later to highlight and blend out the edges. After that I use Sunny Bronzer from NYC in the crease, you can use any mid tone matte brown that you like for your crease, this just helps with blending out the cranberry shades and gives some subtle definition to your crease.

    Next I added the ME017 Light Apricot shade to my inner corner and the first third of my lid. Then I use the S017 American Rose shade on the middle third of my lid and then the ME015 Raisin Berry on the outer half. In between each shade I blend them together in the middle by using my finger and going back and forth in between them.

     After that I blend out the shades, to do this I take a fluffy brush and tap it in lightly into my bronzer and the S017 American Rose shade and using a swiping motion back and forth through my crease. Then after I blend out everything I take a big fluff brush and use the M004 Chamois Nude to highlight  my brow bone and blend out even more.

     Lastly I line my waterline and tightline with a brown liner and I add a little into my lashes on the top and bottom lid and use the S030 Cherry Chocolate shadow and set my liner and blend out liner that's in my lashes. Finally I apply my mascara, do my brows and clean up any fall out. Typically when I do this look I only wear bronzer as a blush and highlighter, along with a nude lip or pale pink lip.

Haul

Hey,

      This is just a few things I've picked up in the past two weeks or so, also Rite Aid in my area at least was having a sale on Wet n Wild, forty percent off and Wal Mart had a duo, I tweeted about this it came with the Falsies and Unstoppable eyeliner from Maybelline for only four us dollars! Pretty good deals if you ask me, so I would suggest checking those out if your interested or in the market for some Wet n Wild products or need a new mascara or wanted to test wither of those two products out, both cost more then the price of the duo. Onto the products I picked up now, first I got the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, I've been meaning to pick this up due to the hype but they never have it when I remember to get it, I couldn't get a good photo of this so I'll just insert a photo after I'm done talking about it. So I have only used this once and my hair did feel super soft and nice after words and it smelled good too, if you don't like the scent of Aussie products or coconut you probably wont like the scent of this. This did leave my hair softer although I do have pretty healthy soft hair already but I did notice a slight difference and would suggest giving it a try if you haven't but at the same time if your hair is damaged don't expect this to work magic and completely repair your hair.

      Next things I picked up were mascaras, this may seem a bit strange but I got four, I like to have back up and also have a volumizing and a separate lengthening mascara at the same time. Plus I had a coupon for a dollar off any L'oreal eye product and I've been meaning to give their mascara a try since people often say good things about them. I got two Rimmel ones because I love their lipstick and I thought to try something else out and I really do have high hopes for those do to my love for the lipsticks, I'll let you know how they work out. Lastly I picked the duo up because it was cheap and at that time I didn't have three other mascaras, I got this one first and knew I was going to need a new mascara soon.

From left to right are: L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes, Rimmel Extra Wow, Maybelline Falsies and Unstoppable eyeliner duo, and Rimmel Lyrca Lash Extender.

      Now onto the lipsticks, all except one are Wet n Wild, I got 520E Hot Paris Pink, this is one of the Silk Finish lipsticks, 907C Mauve Outta Here, 901B Think Pink, both are Mega Last Lip color , and lastly I got one of the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks, I got number 12.

     I also picked up a few lipglosses, all from NYC, I love their lipglosses. I got Park Avenue Punch which is a Kiss gloss, this smells amazing although it taste terrible, they say that they have a fruity flavor but they don't but personally I don't lick my gloss off so this isn't a big deal to me. I got two more Liquid Lipshines in Fashion Avenue Fuchsia and Midtown Mulberry, I have a review on these glosses here.

     I picked up a Idol Eyes Creme Shadow in Pixie, a really pretty champagne great for the waterline and inner corner. Next is the Mega Eyes Defining Marker, so far I really like this, it pretty black and great for the price, I suggest giving it a try if your looking for a cheap marker eyeliner. I love the Color Icon Brow and Eye Liner pencils, so I picked up another one in Plumberry, its a bit lighter then I thought it was going to be, I have a look using these here. Lastly in this picture is the Comfort Zone palette, I have been meaning to pick up one of their eyeshadow trios or palettes, I really wanted I'm getting Sun Burnt or the Walking on Eggshells but they didn't have it, but don't be surprised if you see those in a future haul. I had heard the insanity of how great these are and honestly the pigmentation of this blew me away, these are amazing especially for the price.

     Now I'm a bit of a polish junkie so for me to only get two is pretty astonishing, I got Pure Ice Twinkle, sorry for the weird light thing but it does show the gold shimmer in it, this is such a gorgeous coral with gold shimmer, its so pretty. I had this in my recent Mani Monday; Blue Me Away. As you can tell by the name of that the polish is Blue Me Away by Sally Hansen, it's a Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear.

     Finally the last three products I got, I picked up a Rimmel Stay Matte powder I just got Translucent, I like it so far and it has a nice perfume smell to it. I got a Wet n Wild blush in Pearlescent Pink, this is so pretty and has gold shimmer. Lastly I got a Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in Catwalk Pink, this is such a gorgeous cheap highlighter, I'm really loving this.

Thanks for reading, please leave any request down below, also please tell me if you've tried any of these and if you liked them or not! Sorry for the long post lately.

All of these products were bought by me and any opinion on them are my own.
