Big Haul!

2010-12-06T14:15:00.000-08:00

I have purchased several stuff over the past couple of months, but since Ive been too busy I hadn't had the chance to post anything really and i apologize.

Anyways,
I have been really trying hard to build up my kit but it gets really expensive so little by little when I see certain websites posts discount codes or what not I take full advantage, so this is some of the stuff I have purchased.

These are my E.L.F products, when they were having a 50% off all studio line.

Top( Left to Right): Brow kit in Medium, Bronzer in Warm, Translucent Powder
Middle(Left to Right): PeachyKeen Blush, Candid Coral blush, and Pink Passion blush
Bottom: (Top) Blush Brush, (Bottom) Complexion Brush

These are from Crown Brushes
Left to Right: Fan Brush, soft tapered blending brush, spoolie, small smudger brush, and lip brush

Left to Right : Monda metal plate, Paint brush(for fx makeup), metal spatula, the knot nail board, and 6 different kinds of lashes

Top left to Right: 2 Cinema Secrets Large Puffs, MAC Fixing Medium, Graftobian Hi-Def Glamour Super Palette in Warm, Graftobian Hi-Def Glamour Creme palette, Corrector Shades.
Bottom Left to Right: OCC Lip Tars in Feathered, Katricia, Anime, NSFW, Memento
Z-Palette with 4 La Femme Blushes

Now for all this stuff I spent less than $300 due to the fact that most of this stuff was purchased at IMATS. Now looking at this stuff it makes me feel broke lol
What are your recent buys??

N.Y.C Bronzer

2010-11-11T14:11:00.000-08:00

Hello Loves,
Today i want to talk and rave about this new product I have been using for a while. Now its not new to several of you but to me it is. I wasn't big on bronzers and contouring and all that good stuff. But now that I am pregnant my face has gotten a little on the rounder and paler side. Well the pale comes from it now being fall and im barely in the sun.
For a while I was using E.L.F bronzer and Mac blush in Springshine to give my face some color. These are great when it comes to giving you a more earthy, bronzy look but some bronzers are not good for contouring and these two are definitely not since they both have shimmers. I did some research online to see what would be best as both bronzer and contour color. And the winner was N.Y.C Bronzers, now it depends of course what skin color and what not, so I decided to go with the color Sunny, I watched tons of youtube videos and when I watched Makeup by Leina and how she loved it well i just had to give it a go!

This particular bronzer is matte and is the perfect color for those who are MAC NC 30ish. Im a NC35 so its the perfect shade. It does not look muddy on me at all. And when i apply it to contour, it does its job without looking to harsh and seeing where u created that "Illusion" =]
Some people complained on Makeupalley that its goes on so light therefore hitting pan with a couple of uses, hunny if thats the case then sunny isnt for you babe you must get a darker shade duh!
I barely do a few swipes with the brush and theres more than enough product for both cheeks.
The downside to this is that its hard to find. I looked everywhere for it and found 2 left at kmart so i snatched up one but i think im gonna go back to get the last one for backup. For only $3 and some change its totally worth trying.

What do you use to contour and bronze up?? I would love to read everyone's thoughts

BOOTS!!!

2010-11-11T09:31:00.000-08:00

Hey Y'all!
So I have been in search for some over the knee boots forever and a day
and let me tell you its exhausting when your pregnant ;)
Boots are always perfect for the fall and winter months since they look great with just about anything.
Now I own a couple of boots but they're the regular mid calf boots which I love and adore, but I was looking for boots that scream out HOTT!
Now since I am on a budget have to save up for baby I decided that I would go and check out the little Asian stores (I'm not trying to offend them but even my Asian friends call those stores that)
Asian stores are the best they have super cute stuff for super cheap, I am getting off topic here..
any-who,
I looked high and low and I finally decided that I would try bigger chain stores to see what kind of boots they had and I ended up at Kmart.
After looking through their large boot section I found the perfect boots! The brand is GLO,
the material wasn't all plasticky like most you find at other stores. Its Faux leather stitched up pretty well and just amazing, the plus size is you can fold over the top part if you just want them below your knees too, which with other boots you don't have that option.

They slouch a little at the bottom but its totally fixable i tried them on and I absolutely love them. The price was $39.99 a little expensive for boots from Kmart but they were the last ones in my size so that told me they were meant to be.
Now i cant wait to wear them out.
If your looking for affordable good looking great quality boots go ahead and check out kmart you might score like I did.

Rodarte Post...

2010-07-21T09:10:00.001-07:00

Good morning everyone,
I just wanted to comment on my post from the MAC Rodarte collection that i posted yesterday...
The internet is a great place to search, read, and write on anything you wish.
Blogger.com provides us with the opportunity for us to express what it is that we want to talk about. People can go ahead and follow your blog because they like what you have to say. With that being said...
Everyone and I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if you dont agree with mine that is fine, I dont expect anyone to agree with what I have to say.
I go and post on blogger to voice out MY OPINION on what i feel i want to talk about that given day.
You may or may not like what I have to say and that is fine, but please do not judge me for all you know about me is what I may look like and some of the things i say.
That does not mean that you know where I come from, if i have morals, or what I am all about.
I am just like you, a beauty blogger who loves and lives off makeup, we may not agree on things but like i said thats ok.
The MAC Rodarte collection is controversial
and yes the names to their products are tasteless, but I still am not offended by it.
But because the idea of how they came up with the products and the product names dont really go hand and hand I will NOT be purchasing from this collection.
I am not boycotting it I just feel that there wasnt heart behind it like they say.
I do not expect every collection to have heart behind it but i do expect to see products have an important meaning or match their ideas to the products like the rest of the other collections if that makes any sense (To the beach, All races, Hello Kitty,etc., their ideas matched the packaging an the names)
Like if they wanted to match their ideas "Factory" should be some ugly grey or brown but its not.
So I apologize if i have offended anyone that was never my intention, I just wanted to voice my opinion on something that probably wont even pull through.
Sorry Rodarte ladies
But your stuff aint gonna sell, and if your idea was to stir up buzz..
well ding ding ding! you did but not in a good way

MAC Rodarte Collection

2010-07-20T15:32:00.000-07:00

MAC Rodarte Collection isnt due till the Fall but it already has stirred up quite a controversy...

With names like "Ghost Town" "Del Norte" "Factory" and "Juarez" most people have been finding offense to the city of Juarez. Some commentators believe that its racist, insensitive, and plain unprofessional to have names like these on a beauty product. I myself do not find offense to this but at the same think that they could have chosen better names for the products. Its true, would you like to wear something with the name "Factory" on it? And if they are basing this line on their trip to Juarez, being a hispanic area why in the world would you photograph a ghostly white model to represent this line? Most of the products are targeted for light skin woman, what in the world?! I think it should have been targeted to a more medium color tone since its based on Juarez. Now MAC and Rodarte issued statements:

MAC Statement (provided by Temptalia.com)

We understand that product names in the M·A·C Rodarte collection have offended our consumers and fans. This was never our intent and we are very sorry. We continue to listen carefully to the comments we have received and have the following plans to address concerns:
*We are committed to donating $100,000 to a non-profit organization that has a proven, successful track-record helping women in need and that can directly improve the lives of women in Juarez in a meaningful way
*We are changing the product names in the M·A·C Rodarte collection.

Rodarte Statement (provided by Temptalia.com)

*Our makeup collaboration with M·A·C developed from inspirations on a road trip that we took in Texas last year, from El Paso to Marfa. The ethereal nature of this landscape influenced the creative development and desert palette of the collection. We are truly saddened about injustice in Juarez and it is a very important issue to us. The M·A·C collaboration was intended as a celebration of the beauty of the landscape and people in the areas that we traveled.

Still not offended, I am Hispanic, the should just rename the products using festive names...examples: fiesta, caliente, madrugada, etc. to describe like they say the landscape. But hey im just an ity bitty blogger.

What did you guys have to say about it?

xoxo,
Eve

Another Haul

2010-06-17T09:28:00.001-07:00

Hello Lovelies,
I come to you with a haul today
I visited my local Walgreems to pick up some regular stuff like moisturizer and what not
and when browsing the makeup aisle i came across these
the Wet n Wild palettes.
Now i had told myself no more makeup because i had enough, but at $4.99 ea. palette who could resist =]

I picked up 3 of the 4 I got the ones in (L to R) Lust, Greed, and Vanity
these shadows are amazingly pigmented, and as u have already seen everywhere most the shadows are dupes for MAC ones.
I didnt swatch them because im sure u have seen plenty of swatches everywhere.
But im loving these palettes they are well worth it.

I also purchased a Wet n Wild Mega Liner in Plum
Im definitely liking this liquid liner even though i do have to go over it several times.

And last but not least...
I purchased 2 lipsticks
in 903c Just Peachy and 902c Bare it All
OMG!!!
these lipstick are amazing! i love them, they go on real smooth, very creamy, and they are matte, so no glitter which is what i wanted. I have been using these non stop especially bare it all its the perfect nudey brown color for me and $2.99 ea you cant beat that.
902c Bare it All is a possible dupe for MAC Brave new Bronze Lipstick.

Swatches of the liner and lipsticks

Have any of you tried these products? If so what did you think?

Update

2010-05-13T10:39:00.000-07:00

Hello lovelies
omg its been a while it seriously took me 3 days to catch up on all this reading cuz you guys blog a lot lol
i know the last time i was on here i said i was back, boy did that look like a lie
after that i was called in for a interview for a nursing job
and well i got it!
Now that may sound exciting to some, but to me i was so unprepared, i wasnt ready yet
i didnt feel like working there you could say
anyways...
i have been freaking out cuz its so hard there its ridiculous!
but anyways im trying to stay positive and just deal with one thing at a time.
Now i have hauled a lot but since i didnt take pics and just used up my stuff it wouldnt be right to even blog about it.
Let me just say creme cup by mac is a dupe for born with it, except born with it has more shimmer to it.
Idk if im gonna go crazy when Mac to the beach collection comes out. I like the packaging but nothing really screams out at me just saying, at first it did now not so much
I see a lot of you have a project 365 well to keep up with this im going to start it too so at least i get use of my cam since i hardly been using it.
Also i have hit 300 + followers so im gonna be hosting a giveaway but i want to make it fun so
i will let you guys know
well loves i hope you guys have a wonderful day

NOTD: Lively Lilac

2010-04-29T13:58:00.000-07:00

Hello Bellas,
today i come at you with a nail of the day, this is my ultimate fav nail color its super cute for the spring. Its Sally Hansen insta-dry nail color in you guessed it lively lilac. It a gorgeous pastel looking color, i think it might even be a dupe for China Glaze Spontaneous but a little softer if that makes any sense lol.

Im really loving this formula, its not super runny, the brush provides a good amount of product with one coat its perfect, and the fact that i dont have to wait forever not touching anything so that it dries is super. I will definitely be purchasing more of these in other colors of course =]
I got this at walmart for about $4 i think its definitely worth it.

I dont know about you guys but i have been seeing a lot of lilacs/lavenders may i say this might be a popular color this season.

Dilema!

2010-04-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

Hey bellas,

So i have been wanting to post makeup pics but since i went on a trip and got super tanned, im really dark, so my makeup is too light and i look ridiculous!!!!

Ugh! its really upsetting, cuz im kind of tight with money right now, so i cant go buy me a new foundation to match my tanned skinned, and the one dark foundie i do have is still to light. Yes i did get that dark lol

So im kind of annoyed, but i did wear some msf since its dark. Anyways, for now i must stick to reviews till i get funds to buy a foundation dark enough lol this is too funny.

Miss you all!

Loving this Lipstick

2010-04-07T09:04:00.001-07:00

Hello Bellas,
So while at Target(2 weeks ago) i decided to pick up a lipstick for my trip (Hawaii) I wanted something that could be used everyday, since i didnt want to pack too much you know.
Anyways, I heard a lot of good stuff about the Maybelline lipsticks, I believe its the color sensational lippies?? but dont quote me, so i was torn between Born with it and some other pink one but I decided to purchase the Born with it shade, it has been compared to a couple of MAC lippies but i wouldnt know which ones. This a gorgeous light pink shade the one thing im not fond of honestly is that it does have shimmer which can look a little like a disco ball lol jk but its such a pretty lipstick. I like to pair it up with several of my lipglosses to give it different color shade. Anyways have you ladies tried this yet? or any other shades from this line? whats your fav?

MIA so long...update!

2010-04-05T11:44:00.000-07:00

Hello my lovelies,
WOW, it has been forever since i have posted anything or even looked at my blog.
When i said i was coming back i guess i wasnt ready, too much crap and life happening was too hard to deal with. Blogging just didnt seem right.

Anyways, well life happens and i have done lots since my absence...

I went to Hawaii, Kaua'i to be exact and wow what an amazing island, i seriously didnt want to come back. No offense to anyone but dang they dgaf about anything materialistic like we do, they arent vain, cady, etc. They were all just happy being who they were, no one to judge...or at least that how i felt. Coming back here to Cali i feel the temptation of the things "we" call happiness. I f**** hate it! Seriously i do. I lived with no makeup and just some tanks, bikini, shorts, and flip flops. I was seriously born to be a beach bum. lol enough of my pathetic rant.

The island was simply gorgeous and i was with good company,

let me tell you i came back a hefer lol i ate like no other, dang the Luau was the shizzle, Open bar was the bombay! lol and relaxing and tanning was not bad at all either. =]

I brought back a lil bit of Hawaii with me and my goal is to save enough money to move out there. Im tired of the fast life. So i packed a grip of makeup which i didnt use it was humid making my freaking mascara run ugh .

But im back i apologize once again for my absence i hauled a lot but dont plan on showing pics of my crap...i hope to post a look tomorrow but till then have a great day. Btw anyone in cali feel the quake??

Shoot it was hilarious, i thought i was feeling woozie, like i was gonna faint then my peeps were like dude its an earthquake, i was like ooooooh! thats why i feel like crap...=]

MAC AND NYX HAUL

2010-03-12T10:01:00.000-08:00

Hi lovelies

yesterday i went to the mall and had to get some stuff from the new MAC Give me Liberty of London collection.
Honestly i was kind of disappointed with this collection because first off, Ever hip lipstick is just like Curtsy i swatched them together and they are exactly the same!!! and i still have a full tube of curtsy oh well.
Another is Prim & Proper blush, its also just like MAC Buff even the mac girl said so my ultimate fav blush is buff so i bough it anyways since i already hit pan of buff =]
Lastly, Shell Pearl Beauty powder kind of reminded me of Spaced out but a little toned down because it looks more natural when applied. I mean this is just my opinion so dont grill me on this lol i do love the packaging though its so cute!
So here's what i picked up

Right next to the MAC Booth in the mall theres a store that sells lots of NYX products which i love, and well i needed a pink lip liner for my pink l/s so i picked up the color Rose which is such a gorgeous pink, I also picked up NYX round l/s in Power.

I was watching one of Jo's videos on youtube and she said that power was a dupe for MAC lavender Whip which is a limited edition lipstick that i have been looking for everywhere. So i had to have this, thanks girl!~
Well thats it, what did you guys pick up from this collection???

40 Q's Tag

2010-03-10T14:08:00.000-08:00

I got this from Laura
i wanted to do it tooo!

~ Skincare ~

1) How many times do you wash your face daily?

I would have to say i wash it 2x a day. In the morning when i get up so i can be fresh and ready to start my day. And at night when im getting ready for bed, i wash it to remove all the makeup and gunk!

2) What skin type do you have?

I would say combination dry in the winter and oily in the summer which blows, i wear moisturizer all year round.

3) What is your current facial wash?

I am in love with Cetaphil. This to me is the best facial wash, it cleans up my face pretty well without it making it dry or oily.

4) Do you exfoliate?

Yes, i exfoliate once a week using St. Yves apricot scrub, im trying to finish up the tube though cuz i really want to try something much more gentle.

5) What brand do you use?

St. Yves

6) What moisturiser do you use?

I love using my Nivea creme its perfect, most people say its too oily for them, well when you do first put it on its is oily but then my face just sucks it in and its nice and soft.

7) Do you have freckles?

Yes, ugh i hate them so much.

8) Do you use eye cream?

Yes, I have been using Clarins for the day and i use eye Miracle Worker at night.

9) Do you or did you have acne prone skin?

i have acne prone skin, but honestly the secret to keeping my face from breakouts is...to STOP touching my face. People never notice how much they touch their face throughout the day, from a chin scratch to an eye rub and so on and so forth, and in between that you just went to the store and touched the counter where there are tons of germs lurking. So i learned to not touch my face and i dont breakout as often.

10) Did you ever have to use Pro-Activ?

No i heard its very drying.

~ Make-up ~

11) What foundation do you use?

I use the Revlon Photoready on my i have time to put on makeup days, and I use MAC studio fix powder on my im in a rush days.

12) How about concealer?

I use mac select cover up

13) Do you know your undertone colour?

actually no, and i did take a makeup class before and knew what it was

14) What do you think of fake eyelashes?

I love them, they make my makeup look that much more stunning and my eyes big or small depending on the lashes and what look im going for.

15) Did you know you were supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?
Yes i know, but who actually follows that rule??? Food doesnt even expire when it says it does, so if its not dry or nasty looking i figure why not still use it.

16) What brand of mascara do you use?
I am in love with L'oreal Voluminous mascara its amazing and Lancome Definicil High Def masacra my HG

17) Sephora or Mac?

Both, if you could buy MAC at sephora then i would say Sephora but since they dont i love them both equally

18) Do you have a Mac Pro card?

No.

19) What makeup tools do you use in makeup application?
The tools i use on a regular basis is my Mac 187, 227, 224, 252 and large 182 kabuki i think its the 182 or is it the 188?

20) Do you use makeup base/primer for the eyes?

I use UDPP

21) For the face?

Usually i dont but if im going be outside where its cold or windy, or im going to be dancing i use MAC prep and prime

22) What is your favourite eyeshadow colour or shade?

Purple. I love purples, most of my eye looks include purple, i love using MAC sketch to darken up my crease and make my eye looks that much more dramatic.

23) Do you use pencil or liquid liner?

I use both, blacktrack fluidline for lashline and Urban decay 24/7 IN Zero on my lower lashline

24) How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

its only happen a couple of times.

25) What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?

I think they are great i love them because they last you a long time and they could be used in so many different ways.

26) Do you use mineral makeup?

MAC MSF

27) What is your favourite lipstick?

This is tricky, my fav lippie has to be Revlon Pink Pout and MAC Curtsy they are just perfect.

28? How about lipgloss?

Bigelow lipgloss is the best! Or my mac lipglass in Perfectly pink (Flashtronic Collection)

29) What is your favourite blush to use?

I love Mac Buff and NARS Orgasm

30) Do you buy your makeup on Ebay?

NOpe!

31) Do you like drugstore makeup?

Yes i love Neutrogena, Physicians Formula, and Revlon

32) Do you go to CCO's?Cosmetic Company Outlet?

I went twice first time i got some good stuff, second time was disappointed

33) Did you ever consider taking makeup classes?

I did it once because the teacher is a friend of mine, she is very talented and it was so much fun

34) Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

yes, i have shaky hands when im nervous, like if im going on a date but usually im pretty precise

35) Name a makeup crime that you hate?

Wearing too much blush that you begin to look like you have a fever and ur cheeks are super red or something thats so ugly.

36) Do you like colourful shades of makeup (lipstick or eyeshadow) or neutral ones?

I love both, when i go out i do colorful looks, when im going to school or work i do neutrals.

37) Which celebrity always has great makeup?

Kim K, she is always on point with her makeup and Gwen Stefani always sporting that gorgeous red lip

38) If you could leave the house using just ONE makeup item, what would you use?

gotta say mascara, it makes my eyes look more dramatic therefore sexy hehe

39) Could you leave the house without any makeup on?

yes i do it often, i like to get as much sleep in as i can, plus i like to let my face breathe

40) Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?

Mmmm...people tell me i look good without, but it think i look better with it on

41) In your opinion what is the BEST makeup line?

Well i own different brands, they all work for the purposes i bought them for, so to answer that i cant say the best line is this...because one brand can have something that works really well that another one doesnt, so i like all the brands.

42) What do you think of makeup?

I think its an art that anyone can master it with the right tools and practice. Makeup is meant to be fun and to make someone feel that much better, its like heroin for woman lol jk

Hello beauty bloggers, so lately there’s been a lot of fuss about us and our “cred” shall I say. There was all this talk about how beauty bloggers shouldn’t be considered press and what not. Well ladies and gents, I feel that we are press, everyone is. If you have your own take on something, well why cant it be taken seriously. These so called certified people are regulars like you and I, yes they went to school, but they are judging and reviewing products based on what works for them as well. Well I thought that’s what we were doing???

Anyways enough about that business, there are many sites out there like MakeupAlley and Spektra which I love because you can look up products you have been lemming and find out there reviews from people who have tried them. These sites are very helpful, they help me decide whether or not to purchase an item. Im not saying that just because an item got a low rating on these sites I wont go and purchase them, Im just taking their advice into consideration.

Well there’s a new site now, that well, Im in love with. Its mySkin, this website is a place where it asks you several questions based on your skin, hair, and life to determine what is best suited for you. Your profile shows the products that you are or were using in the past, when it comes to skincare of course. It finds all the ingredients you use on a daily basis and gives you recommendations on what products you should try, and what people like us are loving right now.
You will find the price tags on these items and what they cost you when you use them daily which I find very interesting. Gives me an idea of how much I spend on skin care. Another great thing about mySkin is that there are no advertisements for products that will try to lure you in to buy. I like having the liberty to browse around and search for stuff without having the pressure of a high end brand being at the top of the list because they purchase there spot up there.
They have over 80,000 products listed in their database so even some of that mom and pop shop stuff show up on there. Exciting! There is also a forum so you can connect with others and ask questions about certain items, or anything skin care related.

Well that’s a lot of information for you, isn’t it? Well mySkin is invite only because it hasnt officially launched yet. But the lovely people there provided me with a special code so my readers can go ahead and check it out. Just enter lovelymakeup in the invite code section and whoala!

Let me know what you think about this site!

February Favourites!

2010-03-03T08:53:00.001-08:00

Last Month i used these items non stop:

Sample size Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Doug- this is such a cute color, i wear it even when i dont wear makeup. The only thing about this is the scent...i asked several of my friends to identify the scent and everyone agreed it smelled like waffles and syrup lol i kind of dont like that.
MAC Lavendar Wind Lipglass- this is such a sheer gloss but if applied over certain lipsticks you can definitely notice the purple in it, its so pretty.
Lancom Definicil High Def Mascara- this is sample that came with some stuff my mom bought and i love it, makes my lashes super thick and thats what i look for in a mascara.
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Iced Mocha-Love this color, i like using this as a liner on my waterline, or as a base when doing neutrals.
MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach- This is my HG blush, i mean it when i say EVERYONE should have this blush in their collection im not joking, it compliments all skin colors.
Revlon PhotoReady Foundation- this is also my HG foundation, it glides on so easily and it makes my face look wonderful lol if you havent tried it you must.
MAC Crushed Metal Pigments Stack 2- These are gorgeous colors, they are very neutral which i can used with pretty much any shadow i want, i have been reaching for these often.

Well thats it for my favs, what are yours??

Bigelow Chemist Mentha Lip Shine Review

2010-02-22T10:17:00.001-08:00

*Update* i know i havent really posted much lately and i apologize i have been super busy with personal issue which i dont care to talk about. But i will resume my EOTD series on thursday, school starts today so im gonna be super busy with that, anyways...

Today i wanted to do a review on this new product i recently have tried out. I purchased it at Bath and Body i think. Its the Bigelow Chemist Mentha Lip shine, on the website it claims:

No. 502 Mentha Lip Shine Peppermint Oil 2% Our mint-infused lip balm provides a glossy high shine with a refreshing cooling sensation. Lips stay moist and protected while peppermint oil gives breath a long-lasting freshness.

This is a 0.5 oz tube with minty freshness which im loving. The packaging is great because its a squeeze tube which i like. As soon as you apply this goodness you can feel the sudden burst of coolness on your lips, and it does freshen your breath, no need for gum lol The mint totally kept my lips nice and cool as well as provide that shine like a lipgloss, it lasted a while but i do have a bad habit of licking and eating my lip glosses off my lips, and im sorry but this stuff tastes good so who wouldn't. The only problem i have with it is the price, i believe its $7 .50 that's a little too much for me, even if it does more than provide shine. But other than that i highly recommend this lipgoss.

Have any of you tried any of the other glosses or this one??

Gold and Green eye Tutorial

2010-02-09T08:51:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,
I come to you today with a tutorial, now i always do my makeup in very poor lighting since when i get out of work its dark already so i have crappy lighting in my room.(im lazy to do it in the morning lol) And of course my camera will make the colors look like crap. Oh well anyways I went to the movies with my girly and we saw When In Rome, it was okay, your typical love story. Now on with the Tutorial....

1st: You want to go ahead and prime your eyes, with any primer, i used my UDPP.

2nd: I took a copper/gold color and place in the inner corner and all the way to the middle of your lid like i did here. The color I used was from the Alice in Wonderland palette in Oraculum (Baked)

3rd: Then i applied a light green to the outer corner of the eye and blended it inward as pictured. The color i used was also from the same palette and it was Absolem (Homegrown)

4th: I took a small amount of a dark brown, the color i used was from the same palette in Mad Hatter (Twice Baked) and applied that to the crease and blended it really good

5th: I used a light cream color like MAC Ricepaper for my highlight with my 224 to smooth out an harsh lines. Then line your eyes add some mascara...

AND VOILA!!!

xoxo,
Eve

EOTD: Color of The Week Blue

2010-02-06T15:11:00.001-08:00

Hello Bellas,
This Weeks color is Blue, now blue is a very hard color to pull off, but a couple of rules u need to know when sporting this bright color are, always make sure that if u are wearing a blue shadow tone down the rest of your face. Go easy on the blush and a nude lipstick would be more appropriate otherwise you will be looking like mimi from the drew carey show lol Another thing to tone it down is to smoke it out which is what i did here.

What I used:

Revlon Colorstay Foundation
Mac MSF in medium dark
MAC Springshine blush ombre
UDPP
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk
MAC duo shadow in Sea & Sky (using the dark blue color)
MAC Satin Taupe
Nyx e/s in white pearl
MAC blacktrack fluidline
CG lash blast mascara
UD Zero eyeliner
Revlon Brow liner in medium brown
NYX lipstick in Orange Soda
MAC lipglass in Ember Glow

excuse the sweater its raining and really cold, and im not going anywhere

Hello Bellas
1st off i want to thank Miss Vendella for nominating for an award thanks girl, i think i have done this one but im so thankful, love you girl!

2nd i want to tell you guys about last night, so i was about 4th in line for the MAC launch party last night with my bestie and we were excited, you see all the other past collections were blah to me, i had it all in dupes already so pffft, but this collection it was just so pretty i was sold by the colors lol i know im dumb cuz $200 later i was like wth did i just do to my wallet...the bestie says "you broke it" lol anyways, it was fun, there was a very cute guy wearing the colors from this collection, and he told me i was naughty lol i think it was the red lipstick i was wearing with the glasses, anyways, i go straight for the purple cuz of course its my fav color, and to my dismay all i bought was the lipglass since i had products in the same colors as the rest of the suff so next!!!! off to the orange? lol and i fell in love with this collection, since i love neutrals and golds, so i bought another lipglass and the blush ombre, trust me, one of the girls was wearing it and it looked fabulous on her, next!!! then i hit the other two and again more lipglasses and more blush ombres, so like i said 2 bills later i was like whoa!
my friend said it was the cocktails that had me wanting more, which was probably true. We enjoyed some hors d' oeuvres, and several cocktails later we were good. The place was packed to the fullest, honestly you couldnt even move in there, it was freakin hot thats why i was drinkin like a fish, then i again i have a drinkin problem lol i kid i kid.
anyways, i didnt buy any of the shadows because like i said i have colors similar to them already, so i passed...but wait!!!!
i really wanted the pigments they were the most amazing texture, the felt very light and creamy the reason why i didnt purchase was because i refuse to spend 300 in one hour!!!
so my bestie is gettin the for me for Valentines day. =]

Skin Md Review and Giveaway! (CLOSED)

2010-02-02T14:46:00.001-08:00

A PR from Skin MD gave me the opportunity to try out their Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. I totally was ecstatic to try this, since I battle with very dry and sensitive skin, I also have eczema so its hard to find a body moisturizer that will help with that too.

What I really loved about this lotion was the feel which wasn’t thick and greasy, to me it came of kind of like a silicone feel very slippery and easy to apply. It didn’t have a foul smell, or any smell actually which was pleasant. I use it to apply all over my body and I love the results…hydrated skin.

According to the Skin MD website A Shielding Lotion is far more effective as a dry skin treatment than conventional moisturizing lotions or protective creams. If you suffer from dry skin, you know that just using a moisturizing lotion doesn't solve the problem. And this lotion does just that.

Now for the exciting news…
Now you too can try this lotion and see what all the bloggers are raving about.

Im holding a giveaway, one lucky winner will receive a bottle of this Shielding Lotion (Retail Value $25)

To win all you have to do is:

Must be a follower
Leave me a comment telling me one thing you learned about shielding lotions, as well as your email address so I can contact you letting you know u won(besides the blog)
Be able to provide your shipping address to skinmd since they will be the ones shipping it directly to you.
Open to followers abroad!
Must be 18 years and older

That’s it! Contest will end one week from today February 16th 2010 at midnight. (CLOSED)

(FTC: I was given this lotion to TRY, my review is my honest opinion and no i did not get any compensation for talking about it either)

MAC Event Tonight

2010-02-02T13:10:00.000-08:00

I was so excited to get invited to preview this collection, my best friend is tagging along, she hates makeup but she does anything for me!

ELF HD Powder Update

2010-01-26T10:17:00.000-08:00

Here again with another update, so i recently purchased the HD Powder from elf for $3 using a coupon and im so happy with it. I cant compared it to MUFE since i have never owned it, even though i have used it i havent used it enough to compare. Anyways heres what it looks like on my face, its a great setting powder i love it, it does minimize my pores and it works perfect with my Revlon Photo Ready Foundation which is what im using in this picture with the powder.

You can see shimmer but like in my previous post its not that bad in person, but i just thought something, isnt this foundation suppose to make u look perfect in pictures not person hmmm... well i like it lol and the powder too

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation Update

2010-01-26T09:57:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,
so i said i would post a before and after picture of what i look like before application and after and let me tell you, you can definitely see the shimmers in this foundation, it looks really noticeable in the picture but in person u cant i asked several people. So far im still very impressed with this foundation. so here you go
-without the foundation (eeek no makeup!)

-with Revlon Photo Ready foundation (no setting powder)

Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Update

2010-01-25T09:35:00.001-08:00

Hello Bellas,
i hope you all had a great weekend, i had an okay since im still in pain from my head crackin on the floor lol So i have had the chance to play with my palette and so far i love it, i know a lot of the colors on here are repeats of previous palettes which i dont own so i dont mind. But let me tell you, I extremely hate Midnight Tea Party aka (Midnight Cowboy Rides Again).

This color looks super gorgeous but when applied its a glitter mess!!! ugh! theres fallout everywhere the champagne color u see doesnt even come out on my lid just the gold glitter. I was and still am super disappointed with this shade, so hard to work with i just gave up other than that my favorites are:
1. Queen aka (Last Call) such a beautiful eggplant color
2. Muchness aka (x) gorgeous peachy color
3. Mushroom taupey brown amazing!

so if you have this palette whats ur fav and ur least fav??

2010-01-22T08:53:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,

So i got my urban decay palette in the mail and omg im in love with it!!! its sold out online it sould out in 2 days! so when it comes in stores you better go get it, they will have limited supplies out there and then thats it all gone! Anyways i love all the colors let me know if you want swatches, i took these pictures with my cellphone i didnt bust out my camera cuz i have been drugged up on vicodin. Heres the story: so i woke up at 5am cuz i needed to use the restroom, it was still dark and couldnt see, and dumb me jumped off the bed idk why dont ask, but when i jumped i jumped onto my stability ball which i didnt know was there and bounced off that and flew and fell really hard on my head. After being unconscious for a min i got up went to the hospital TBI are silent killers, thats how Liam Nesson's wife died last year. So i got a CT Scan which is like an xray but they inject iodine into your veins so that if theres a bleed it will show it on the picture. Well luckily i had no bleed and im ok just in a lot of pain thats were the vicodin comes in. So moral of the story please people dont jump off your bed and if you are make sure nothing is in your way.

and this is Doug lol i got a pocket rocket sample in doug from Urban Decay
i love him lol
so have you guys got yours yet??

Review: MAC Mineralized Satinfinish

2010-01-18T10:48:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,
hope you all had a great weekend. Recently i had been testing out different foundations to see what would work best for my face, like i have said before, i am always looking for the best thing out there. I have tried several different types of foundations, and have loved some and hated others. With that said I would like to review MAC Mineralize Satinfinish spf 15 foundation.
This foundation when i first tried it i was kind of skeptical since MAC does get a lot of hate when it comes to foundations, especially from me =] im no hater but they still haven't perfected their formula well at least not according to me. Anyways this foundation is to give you a satin finish with medium coverage which can be build able. It has an SPF of 15 so it protects some. Now let me tell you when i first tried it i hated it much so, it looked blotchy when applied, the consistency is somewhat runny so i guess that's where and why it appeared blotchy to me after application if that makes any sense, I used my MAC 187 (skunk brush) to apply it. Seriously after that first time i didn't want it anymore. Well this weekend since i felt like wearing some red lipstick i didnt want to use my Revlon PR foundation, I just feel since the look i was going for was a more matte look, the shimmers in the Revlon foundation would throw me off, so I reached for MAC foundation to give it one last try and Im so glad I did. This time instead of applying it with my 187 i decided to use my Sigma SS190 WOW! What a difference a brush can make, this is why its important you use different tools to see what is best for what product. After applying this foundation with this brush my face looked flawless the satinfinish was perfect, I used my E.L.F hd powder to minimize shine and pore size and it was the perfect combo. This foundation is amazing. The coverage medium coverage was perfect i just loved it. So i have to recommend this to you ladies. Have any of you tried it yet? What are your thoughts on it? an what do you use to apply it? Hope to hear what you all have to say...
xoxo,
Eve

E.L.F Haul

2010-01-15T09:50:00.000-08:00

So i had done another eotd but honestly it looks like crap the colors look all blended together to make one color when it really didnt look like that oh well next time. So just so you know i ordered my UD Alice in wonderland palette im so freaking excited i want it now gosh darnit!!! but i have to wait my friends are gonna go nuts when they see it lol anyways on to my elf haul. I decided that i wanted to try MUFE hd powder but too broke to spend lots of money on it so i went on elf and ordered their HD powder i will review it soon. Next, i needed to buy a daily brush cleaner so i ordered theres since i heard lots of good things about it, what i did not like was the fact that it was leaking or so it seemed like it, cuz after i wiped it down it was fine no leakage. And last but not least i ordered (all from the studio line by the way) the Powder brush, since i also read great reviews on it. This is what it all looks like:
I already used the brush and i freaking love it soooo much! (i still love my 187) its super soft and i use this now to apply my foundation, the brush cleaner also works great and i like the smell. I still have not tried the hd powder but will get to it soon. What are you gals using to apply your foundation? and what setting powder would be your fav?

HELP!!!!

2010-01-13T13:14:00.000-08:00

(No posts due to no internet at the moment)

Hey chicas!
i have a problem, so im breaking out with these little red bumps on my face all in my cheek area. so i know its probably an allergic reaction but to what?!
they only new things i have been using is my sigma brushes and my new Revlon PR foundation could that be the culprit :(
i look so bad, i dont know what to do, not only do i have red bumps but i have patches of dark dry skin wtf?!
anyone heard of that or how to treat it,
i wont be wearing any makeup to clear the problem up
im so sad
(UPDATE)
So i took some of your advice and applied vitamin e on the areas affected overnight of course and i woke this morning with one cheek looking a lot better, the other cheek still has a lot of redness but will continue doing that tonight.
thanks to all of you for the advice

One last thing before i hit the road..

2010-01-08T14:10:00.000-08:00

so i did a video tutorial for the purple smokey eye look and it erased so i did it again and when it came to uploading it stupid youtube didnt want to upload a mwmv document (windows movie maker)ok so then i decided to not edit the movie and it was taking forever to upload it i gave up after an hour and a half lol how long is it suppose to take to upload a 10 min video. i have dsl wtf???

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer Tinted Moisturizer

2010-01-08T13:29:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,

I come at you again with another review. Today its gonna be on Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer which i purchased at Wal-Mart.

This can either be used as a tinted moisturizer or some use it as foundation.
I personally use it as both, on days when im on the run i just put this on to cover up some of my redness as well as to even out my skin, and other days when there's more time, i will use it before applying my foundation. Ok so on with the review. This bottle is kind of pricey since it only contains about 1oz worth of product for $11 bucks. I dont know maybe its just me, but anyways, the packaging is great, its small enough to fit in your purse its so sleek i love it, it comes with a lid that seals well. One thing though is the fact that sometimes when you use it you well get dried up clumps which is annoying, but other than that it cool. Now on to the product itself, it has an spf of 20 and there are several shades to chose from. The consistency is very smooth and creamy, not runny, it blends in very well to your skin, not leaving a greasy feeling after application. I use about two pumps and its enough to cover my whole face. So far i have to say that i really like this stuff and would recommend it as a tinted moisturizer. I know that there are many out there but this by far is great. so a quick summary:
Pros:

great packaging
multi purpose
several shades to choose from
consistency is great
moisturizes and evens out your skin

Cons:

price could be cheaper
not enough product

so thats all folks, what are you fav tinted moisturizers??? and have you tried this one yet?
xoxo

Products that Sucked in 2009(edited)

2010-01-08T09:40:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,
i know i shouldnt use "sucked" in my title but these items were really not that great for me at least.
and here they are (things i tried in 09):

TFSI(Too Faced Shadow Insurance): Some of you are gonna be like wtf?! but hear me out, in a previous post i mentioned that i was able to try this an hated it, it creased it, dried up rather quickly before i can evenly distribute it throught my lid. So it sucked! lol but hey if it works for you more power to ya! for me it just sucked!!!!
E.L.F. pressed powder and shielding tint: Now this stuff isnt from their studio line, and i did only get it for a $1 but still i was hoping to at least like something and no i didnt, i havent got the stuff in different shades since their color choices didnt help and i hated the stuff.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisterizer: Another i need to explain lol, you see for a long time i really wanted this stuff cuz a lot of you raved about it, well when i finally tried it i hated it so much i tossed it! it left my face looking rediculously shiny with sparkles, okay maybe not the sparkles but i just didnt care much for it.
Revlon Curling Irons: These things i got a CVS it came in a package of 3, theres was a 1 1/2 a 1 1/4 and a 1". I tried all of them and they sucked! they would heat up and as soon as i used them they would cool down and not even curl my hair and all 3 did that. The curling irons would make maybe one or two soft curls and since the irons werent that hot they curls would fall right off, what a disappointment, my Conair curling iron that i have had for 8 years is still way better than these. i just purchased a new one so i hope to review that pretty soon.

well thats pretty much it!
hope you all have a lovely weekend!
xoxo

Pinky Eotd

2010-01-04T12:16:00.001-08:00

So even though im not feeling to well i decided to play with my stuff and came up with this:

mind you i did not apply any eyeliner or mascara since i was gonna be taking this off right away, and the pic quality isnt great cuz i took this with my android phone =]
so what i used was my CS 88 matte palette
i used the 1st color in the pink row for the inner corner and blended to about halfway to the middle of my lid
i then applied the brightest pink on that some row of pinks and used that on the red of my lid and blended the two colors together.
i then took the dark brown above the black on that same palette and used that to make the outer v and blended that as well.
for highlight i used the top white color on the palette and voila!

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation Review

2010-01-04T10:22:00.000-08:00

Everyone for the most part has been in love with Revlon Colorstay Foundation, it has been very comparable to MAC's foundations. Now Revlon has come out with another high quality foundation which is there Photo Ready foundation, which is suppose to be their version of HD foundation.

I went on MakeupAlley to inquire on what shade of this stuff will suit my skin color, since im a nc35, the girls recommended i try 008 Golden Beige, now for the colorstay i use 220 natural beige which is slightly different ok well not really it is very different lol but whatver since i was getting it as a BOGO i decided to also purchase this new foundation in natural beige just in case.
i tried on both colors and they both seem to suit me, weird right?? but heck at least i dont have to go back to return the wrong color =]
now for the pros and cons

Pros:

price is very good it runs about $14 (and if you get from a BOGO sale u get two for that price amazing) a bottle very reasonable compared to other HD FOUNDATIONS, CS is selling theirs for about $17 plus s&h and that's just CS now imagine MUFE lol
packaging is great! the pump is perfect it dispense a good amount with one pump enough to cover my whole face and it has a lid lol
amazing coverage, it is very build able, it made my face flawless so again amazing
it does give a great dewy finish with a nice even glow
it is not fast drying like the colorstay, i have to hurry to put that on and blend otherwise since it dries up pretty quickly i have a mess on my face lol
feels very lightweight not heavy at all.

Cons:

it does have a slight greyish tone to it, or maybe its just me being really colorblind lol
while this may not be a bad thing for some it does have some shimmer in it, but the advertisement clearly states that, so if your not into the shimmers then DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT! the shimmers are meant to give you that glow.
not a lot of shades to choose from, which could be a bad thing if you have a very strange skin color lol jk

and well thats it not a lot of cons because i have to say this is my new HG Foundation i love this stuff, its perfect, i apply it using my skunk brush (MAC 187) stippling it then buffing it. i did take pictures with wearing this foundation and well i was a little under the weather since im sick i prefer not to post but makes me look great =] ok i shouldnt toot my own horn. anyways i highly recommend this foundation to you lovely ladies, let me know what you think of it.

BTW Sparklemidori is having a giveaway here! go check her out!

BIG Shampoo Review

2009-12-29T15:12:00.001-08:00

Hello lovely readers,
im doing another hair product review since i have been trying different things lately to have gorgeous hair =]
About a month ago i went into the Lush store and received a good sample of their BIG shampoo, as well as the American Cream conditioner. oh how lucky did i feel well this is how i feel now after trying them both...

BIG SHAMPOO:

pros

Smells like salt and lemons....margarita anyone =]
the texture is like kosher salt seriously or sea salt whatever
for looking and feeling like salt, you being to wonder if this stuff will actually work and lather...omg it does hehe
the salts dissolve real easily which doesnt make it hard for it to wash out.
makes your hair super duper silky smooth...and i love that the most about this stuff

cons

the scent can be annoying
its suppose to make your hair "BIG" mine did not do that, it looked like how it usually does
pricey!!! $21 for a shampoo... as if!

so will i actually purchase this stuff....nope! i mean it does make my hair super soft and i love that but i didnt want it for that purpose i wanted volume gosh darnnit! but hey some of the bloggers say this stuff works for them...so i guess to each their own...wait is that how u say it??? lol

American Cream conditioner

pros

none sorry

cons

doesnt smell like anything really just like plain ol conditioner =/
i had to use the whole sample on my hair which was probably the size of 5 quarters and it still didnt do nothing ugh!
waste!
did not condition my hair, had to use my regular conditioner.

i probably sound like the grinch right now, but its true, the conditioner in my opinion sucked i would never purchase it, the shampoo like i said made my hair silky smooth and made it shine but as far as making it big with volume that it did not do, which made me very disappointed. so thats all folks before you spit out the cash for such an expensive product i say you ask for a sample first and try it out first cuz i might realize u dont like it, or love it!

xoxo,

Big Sexy Hair

2009-12-28T09:03:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,
wow its been a while but honestly i didnt feel like posting, life has kinda sucked so writing about stuff would only turn into a disaster cuz i would probably sound real emo on all my posts. but i have been on here reading all your post which have kept me in better spirits. Hope you all had an awesome christmas or whatever you celebrate, i did cuz of the gifts i got lol jk
anyways, so for xmas i decided i wanted big sexy hair =]
thats exactly what i got.
A few months ago i purchased this mousse:

This product says to *create major volume and shine (from SexyHair website)
well let me tell you when i tried it a few months ago it did nothing for me, i hated it, i put away some where in my bathroom and never bothered with it again, till xmas eve i decided to give it one last chance, and so glad i did i applied a lot more this time while my hair was damp then blowdryer away lol omg my hair was huge....it was perfect, i loved it, i backed comb a lil but only a lil and it was lovely so i defeinetly recommend you ladies give this a try. i bought it at ross so i got for cheap, i know that TJ Maxx carries it to and its cheap there too! so here are my results

my hair is never like that its super flat so im in love with this stuff! (sigh) my friends were like whoa thats big hair lol

xoxo,

Haulage!

2009-12-15T09:09:00.000-08:00

Hello Bellas,
its been a while since ive been on blogger and posted anything, being sick is not
the business.
But i am all better now, i want to thank all of you for following and reading, i really cant thank you enough. Now on to my hauls.
So i hit up Wal-Mart for some goodies and this is what i got:

i couldnt find my Garnier face wipes ugh! but i discovered these
l'oreal skin genesis micro smoothing wet towelettes, they remove makeup so i wil review these after a few tries =]
i also got Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer in 50 i will also do a review on this later.
and lastly,
MAX Factor pressed powder in deep
i plan on using this as a bronzer, so far i used it this morning and i love it! hahaha and it was 5 bucks since the u.s. is getting rid of the brand i had to have me some max before its really gone.
Next,

Forever 21 package arrived whoopie! and this is what i got

a sparkly dress

black tunic with studded collar

black blazer

some super cute suede heels (sigh) i love these.
Now for my last haul...
LUSH! ♥

so i go in right and these sweet guy tends to me right away, which i love they always have great customer service. so i go straight for the star melts cuz i read about these and i wanted to try but people have mixed reviews so i bought one to try out, these little guys are so sticky they really will melt in your hand. Then i grabbed the famouse cmforter bar that smells so yum. So then i told the guy that i wanted to try BIG shampoo but didnt want to pay $22 for a bucket of this stuff cuz what if i didnt like it, so he was kind enough to give me a sample of it it smells so sweet so idk if i will like that scent on my head, then he offered to give me a sample of American Cream conditioner to try out also i was delighted =]
so now as i was at the register ready to pay i saw they had the little containers labeled cupcake which i opened and it smells yummy too ugh i want everything from there, so i asked the guy if he;s ever tried it and he said it works great for oily skin, so he told me go ahead and have it. I was like omg really?!! he was so generous and sweet i loved my experience there so i cant wait to use all this stuff.
anyways thats all of it, finally so will do a tutorial tomorrow since i have time tomorrow night to do it! till then

p.s. Makeup Babble is having an awesome giveaway she is giving away a dr.perricone product go check it out here.

The way i Sculpt My Eyes

2009-12-04T12:20:00.000-08:00

Hello Loves,
last night i decided to sculpt my eyes since i was just going to school, plus my mom's xmas party is coming up and she wants me to do her makeup, so i dont want her looking like a hooker (no offense to those) but want to give her a classy look so i practiced on myself and this is what i came up with:
What i used...
88 CS Palette

Sigma and E.L.F brushes

MAC Blacktrack

NYX Jumbo Pencils in Milk and Iced Mocha

and UDPP not pictured i forgot oops!

ok so 1st i primed my lid with the udpp after that i applied NYX Milk in the inner corners of my eyes. I smudged it in to blend towards the middle of my lid then applied #1 on the pic showing the colors i used from the 88 palette. I used that light color to go over the inner corner of my eye with my Sigma ss252 brush.
After that i applied #3 and applied it all over the lid using the same brush.
With the Sigma ss219 i took the #2 and went over the crease and the v corner and blended it in.
I then took my MAC 224 and used the #4 as a highlight.
After the lids were done i took the ss209 and used it to line my eyes with MAC Blacktrack Fluidline.
With the E.L.F brush i took some of the #2 and smudged it all over my lower lashline, but not oo much just enough. Then took NYX Iced Mocha and lined my lower lashline. And whala! eyes all done, i like it for my mom, she didnt get to see it cuz she was already asleep, but i will keep doing different looks to see whats the best for her, now for pics..

(i have huge eyes so i dont go all the way down to the inner corner otherwise wow bug eyes lol

So i was bored shoot me! =]

2009-12-04T10:32:00.000-08:00

Hair Extensions

2009-12-03T15:31:00.000-08:00

Hair extensions. Lots of girls use them to make hair look longer and thicker.

My question is out of all the kinds you can get, where can i get good clip on extensions???
I made the dumb mistake in cutting some length off and now i wish i could just glue it all back =[ so i thought to myself not all is lost, i could just try some extensions. The reason why im asking about clip ons is because i heard that they are less damaging than the kind you get sewn in. So if you ladies know what's up please do tell, I cant wait to flip my long hair, well my store bought hair =]

Nov. Favourites

2009-12-02T12:09:00.000-08:00

Could it be im actually posting again?
lol
well now that i have my camera i can =]
anyways here goes my November favorites:

NYX l/s in Honey: this lippie is a great nude by itself of not i put a coat of NYX sorbet l/g on top to make it shine, but i love it without too.
Almay Smart Shade Concealer in light/medium: this is a weird but good product, it does cover really well, sometimes it looks dry depending on how my skin is being (oily or not) but i gotta say i like it.
Target brand Smudger Brush: this brush is my go to brush every single time i wear makeup so its my all year round fave. i like the lower lashline smudged cuz it gives me a sexy just woke up and look fierce lool..lol ok not even but u catch my drift. and it was only $2.
Clinique All about Eyes cream: i love this, i used it a lot this month since it was my bday and lots of drinking was going on, which means i totally puffed up, especially in the eye area. so this does the trick every time.
MAC Prep+Prime: ok ok so not a lot of people love this stuff, i personally found a better primer but this stuff is good, and its what i have been reaching for a lot lately, especially since its cold andmy nose loves to turn like rudolphs the raindeer. a bright red, and well with this my makeup stays on when i rub my nose so barely any redness.
MAC Fix+ : ok so who doesnt love this stuff, it keeps my makeup intact. enough said.
MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Med/Dark: this is my favorite, i put it on top of my liquid foundation to set it like my MUA told me to and it evens out my color, i love it, looking silky smoooth haha love the zohan =]

So thats it my favs, what are yours this month??

One of my bday gifts

2009-12-02T11:30:00.000-08:00

Hello loves,
So i told you in a previous post that i received as a gift from my bestie for my bday that was what i have been wanting for a pretty long while, i got my sigma brushes, the complete kit set to be exact. I was jumping with joy cuz she knew how bad i wanted them. So here they are:

*i forgot to take a picture of 3 in here oops =]

As you all know they come numbered just like the MAC brushes but the Sigma Brushes have an"SS" before each number.
In this kit i received:

SS150 Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.
SS190 Can be used to apply liquid or cream foundation. It is also recommended to apply moisturizers and conceal large areas. Synthetic bristles.
SS187 Specially designed to generate an ‘airbrushed’ finish when used to apply liquid foundation. It can also be used to apply blush, highlight shades and loose pigments. Blend of synthetic and natural bristles.
SS168 The angled shape makes this brush ideal to apply blush or contour shades. Natural bristles.
SS194 The rounded, tampered, flat shape makes this brush ideal to conceal the under eye area. It is also recommended for a precise application in small areas. Synthetic bristles.
SS275 Angled, tapered, flat top. Ideal to apply highlight shades underneath the eyebrow and on the inner corners. It can also be used for a precise application of darker shades on the crease area. Natural bristles
SS266 Essential for the application of gel or cream eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line. This brush is also excellent to filling out the eyebrows. Synthetic bristles.
SS252 Flat shape is ideal for application of cream formulas and eye shadow primers. It also works great with loose eye shadows or pigments. Can be used to apply color all over the lid or precisely on the lash line. Natural bristles.
SS219 Precise application of color on the crease, outer corner, and upper and lower lash line. Also ideal to smudge out pencil liner. Natural bristles.
SS224 Sounded and tapered top. Specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease. Natural bristles.
SS209 An extra-fine tipped synthetic fiber brush that delivers a precise, firm, even stroke with which to line the eyes.
SS239 Soft and dense with a rounded finish. Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments. Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid. Natural bristles.

i also received a ss217 as a free gift.

***THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BRUSHED WAS TAKEN FROM Sigma Makeup website.***

i have to say these brushes are great for those who want to start off in the makeup world. These brushes are of great quality, comparable to high end brands. So far i love them, they havent shed on me yet, and i have been using them since i got them. They are so worth it. The bristles are very soft, and thats what we all look for in brushes. so i do recommend you ladies and gents to check'em out.
Anyone have Sigma brushes? what are your experiences and thoughts on them?

2009-11-02T13:14:00.000-08:00

Hey lovelies,
its been a while...i know but i have been so busy with school and work and looking for a new job that it has made me a really busy bee. Like i said in a previous post since i reached 100 followers i will be holding another giveaway to thank you ladies for following me =] stay tuned
So now onto my in's n out's:

IN:

Thigh High boots! They are just super duper gorgeous, there are many places where you dont have to spend that much, like DSW, Off Broadway, and all those cute Asian stores.
Gorgeous bright pink lips, idk if you ladies have noticed but a lot of you bloggers have been raving about pinks, well thats because that gorgeous color will always be in just like Barbie!
Blazers! you can pair that up with a mini skirt/dress a nice shirts with leggings with jeans, shorts, anything because it's just that universal. Always makes you look super chic!
Floral prints...lots of our favorite celebs have been wearing those gorgeous dresses or tops with floral prints on them, again you can always dress it up or down.
Chapstick. with the weather changing, getting colder peoples lips looks super red lol the bf had that problem last week. my lil cousin had her lips super duper chapped i felt so bad for her, it looked like it hurt a lot. so people do carry this around to avoid that.

Out:

Halloween, im over it, it was horrible. Me and the bf got in a fight over some dumb stuff so yea it ruined it.
Blondes and Reds lol a lot of what you will be seeing is browns and blacks. The fall always calls for those colors. A lot of the girls at my job have gone dark brown or black and will to by the end of the week =] im over my red head.
this crazy weather. one day its frrrreezing and the next your wearing tanks and shorts its so hot...mother nature make up ur mind please!

so thats it girls, hope you ladies have a good day!
oh wait i will post up my halloween pictures and my makeup tomorrow as well as my october favorites!

Hair Removal

2009-10-22T09:36:00.000-07:00

Hello lovelies,
its time for another review.
But of course it comes with a quick story first lol
So idk how many of you suffer from ugly arm hair?? i do and i hate it, my arms are hairier than the bff's. Thats so wrong, so i knew i needed to get rid of this hair. I have tried shaving and i hate it, it leave little nasty red bumps when i do that. Waxing hurts real bad. So i came across Veet Hair Removal Gel Cream.

Let me say that the packaging was okay. I mean its easy to use because theirs a pump so theres no spills, but if it gets too hot it tends to leak, maybe thats just mine. The plastic razor is okay too, the little green ends which are suppose to be the plastic blades tear off if your too rough which i am lol.
Now for the product, the smell it kinda yucky, ok not kinda it is yucky! But the cream isnt running whatsoever, its thick and you just glide it on to the area where you would like the hair to be removed. Its says not to massage it in, just put over it, i do both depending on the spots. It says to wait 5-10 mins then remove with the plastic blade. well when i do that its hard for the product to come off, so what i do i run my arms real quick through warm water and then use the blade. The hair comes off real easy that way. After removal, i wash and srub my arms real good to get rid of any excess product since there have been times where i guess i didnt scrub hard enough and it left that nasty crap on my arm...ewww gross! After all that my arms feel nice and smooth.
So basically the product works well, it does what its suppose to do and its easy to use. The only downside is the smell and the waiting lol
So i do recommend this product for arm hair removal, i did try it on my legs and it just irritated them, idk why my body is weird. lol
****edited: the hair removal is for i believe legs and arms and underarms.
it also doesnt burn your skin like other hair removals****
so have you guys tried it out??? what did you think? let me know

until next time
xoxo

2009-10-21T08:36:00.000-07:00

Hello Bellas,

So i came across this gorgeous Barbie pink lipstick from Revlon which im totally loving right now!
I love everything lol
I'm trying to buy quality drugstore products to do reviews on since you requested that. =]
Anyways, the Revlon lippie is called Pink Pout and its a matte lippie with a bright but not overpowering pink color.
its really gorgeous, and its not dry like other drugstore lipsticks i have tried.
Here are some swatches in different lighting:

And this is what it looks like on my lips

Hair Product Review

2009-10-20T14:22:00.000-07:00

Hello Bellas,
hope you are all having a great week. I wanted to do a review today on Mane n' Tail's Hair Strengthener Spray. If you all didnt know, i was going crazy about my hair fallout, well i finally went to the doctor but they still cant seem to figure it out, they claim stress! psh! no way im ok but fine whatever. Anyways, before i went to the doctor i hit up Sally's to look for anything to help strengthen my hair. I came across Mane n' Tail.

On the bottle it says its a leave in conditioner, on the back of the bottle is says its suppose to help strengthen and maintain strength , protect from chemical styling and excessive heat.

The price of the bottle was around $5-$6 for a 6oz bottle.
which is not bad,well at the time i didnt care how much i spent lol

I like the clear packaging because it lets me know how much product i have left in the bottle, which is always important. The spray is easy to use.
Now the smell....i love it, it smells like the infusium 23 products, i dont know if you ever smelled those but that the only way to explain it lol but no really its a good smell not like most hair products. It doesnt grease up your hair if you put too much which is always a plus for me, i dont know bout you gals...
So far after use, i have noticed that my fallout isnt as bad as it use to be which is a wonderful thing, meaning this product does work. It has also protected my hair from when i heat style it which is great. I am really happy with this product.

Summary:

cheap
easy to use
leave in conditioner, strentghner, and heat protectant.
can spray the whole bottle(dont recommend) and wont leave hair greasy
smells lovely

Basically i recommend it for you gals and boys, i love it and will continue to purchase it. So have you tried it yet?? if so what do you think?

xoxo

MAC Studio Tech

2009-10-19T09:35:00.000-07:00

Bellas,
i have something to ask all of you,
so let me start off by telling you first what happen.
ok so i go to the MAC counter wanting to purchase the lipgloss in "ever so rich" which i was so disappointed. That lipgloss appears to be like a soft lilac color, but when u apply it on ur lips its so sheer it looks super clear, my MUA tried pairing it with different lipsticks and it was like i was wearing a clear gloss anyways i was so upset. So i moved on and was gonna buy my mineral skinfinish and i was telling her about the products i use for my eyes, which she asked what base i use i told her UDPP and she she told me a secret and said thats her fav too, but shhhh! lol anyways then we talked about face products like foundation, and i told her i used the revlon colorstay, and i was using my studio fix on top of it, which i know i know is a big NO NO! but i was out of setting powder, shoot me!!! anyways, i told her that i feel like im not getting the coverage i really want, i want super full coverage, its cuz i hate my freckles! so she told me that i should try MAC Studio Tech foundation. its a cream based foundation. And its super full coverage and a little goes a long way she says. Well i told her i would have to think about it.
So i come here to ask all of you, have you tried this???
And what do you think of it???
Let me know what your thoughts are girls/guys

Here is what MAC says about it:

Totally tech. A tri-system blend of water, emollients and powder. Looks solid, glides on as a soft, creamy emulsion. Provides a natural matte, powder-perfect finish. Smooth to blend, easy to work with: provides a full range of coverage. Water-cooled - refreshes and hydrates skin. Light diffusing: softens lines, creates a fresh, flawless finish. Good on all skin types. Studio Tech is dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, non-acnegenic and safe for contact lens wearers.
Info from MAC

EOTD!

2009-10-19T09:23:00.000-07:00

Hello bellas,
So i was looking at videos on youtube and came across a really good eye tutorial, and the reason i liked it soo much was because of the colors. To me it was like a tropical theme, but thats just me! you can find it on QueenofBlendingMUA channel. And this is what it looks like (i took as many pics as i could to get different lighting cuz u know my camera sucks):

I was a little on the drunk side lol jk (excuse my crazy eyebrows lol)

What i used:

TooFaced shadow insurance (i hate it)
CS 88 e/s matte palette
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in purple
MAC Ricepaper e/s
MAC Blacktrack Fluidline

It was a very pretty look. Who are you ladies getting inspiration from right now???
