5 Favourite Things!

Okay so I was tagged by my girl Shazzy to write about my 5 favourite items!
So here we go!

First is the Maybelline Mineral Power Foundation. Mine is in Light 4, and it is amazing!!! It goes on really smoothe, I can blend it in with my skin so easily and I can definatly appreciate that!The only thing about is that it is not full coverage,but if you are just looking for a light foundation,this is definatly the one I would recemend! I got mine at Wal Mart, with a liquid concealer for $6.98..it was on a holiday sale when I got it, but I see now lately that it is around 10$ for just the foundation. Who knows though, its probably different everywhere you go!!!

Second are the NYX Pigments! Oh my! I love my NYX pigments so much! I dont wear MAC, wanted to wear MAC, but cant necessarily afford it, so I found NYX almost a year ago, bought the pigments without knowing anything about them at all, but they are amazing! They go on really really smooth, they are highly pigmented! All the colors that you get,and see them in the package, that is exactly what they look like in the jar! For 2$ each color, you cant beat it! I will buy them over and over and over again....if i ever run out...which doesnt look like it will ever run out! haha!

Third is the N.Y.C Smooth Skin-Loose Face Powder! I had heard so many good things about this stuff from youtube...Even though it is from NYC,which we all always assume it is poor quality! BUT! NYC did real good with this product! I love it! It is sooooo smoothe, I have the Translucent powder, because I just wanted something to set my foundations with and so after hearing how good this stuff was for so long, I went and picked it up and just like I heard, it is amazing! A girl on youtube says she preferes it over her MAC Translucent powder, which to me, says a lot! So I am so glad that I am finding all these MAC Dupes! No need to buy MAC,when I can go spend $2.50 at walmart and get pretty much the exact same stuff! So go out to your local Wal-Mart, and pick up the NYC Smooth Skin Face Powder!!!

Fourth favourite thing is..The Kirkland Signature by BORGHESE brush set that I got for Christmas from Costco for like 21$!!!! These are AMAZING! They are so soft! It came with like 7 brushes, and then a body shimmer fluffy brush! For the price, I couldnt believe how cheap they were! I was a bit nervous that they wouldnt be that good because they were so cheap, but when I opened them on Christmas morning, I was thrilled! They were part of the Christmas set that apparently Costco gets every year, and so if thats the case, I will be there every single christmas time to pick up the new brush set! I suggest you all go and get it too!!

Last but not least..my fifth favourite thing is...hmm..I am gonna say my L'Oreal True Match foundation and powder! I got them from Walgreens while they were on sale for buy 1 get 1 free, and they were both 10.99, so I would have got both for 10.99 + tax, BUT! Since I'm a thrify little shopper I went and had coupons for it too, the coupons were two 2$ off Coupons, so I paid like 7$,but had a 5$ gift card, so it only cost me 2$ cash! BAM! How exciting huh! 2$ for two L'Oreal products! AMAZING! okay anyway more about the product and less about the cost! Anyway, the Liquid foundation is really good! I think it is full coverage, it goes on really nice, it is easy to apply, and once it like,dries, on your face, it feels like a nice like silky smooth feeling! I love it!
And the powder is great, its so silky and covers really well! this foundation is really good if you want full coverage!

There we go. I was gonna add photos,but, No time!

Micas and NYX!

Okay so I again feel like blogging, but I am sitting here thinking "but what to blog about"! I ask a friend and get the answer of "makeupppppp!"...well duhhh of course makeup! I am obsessed with makeup,I swear! I have been addicted ever since watching youtube videos! I dont even remember what made me look for makeup on youtube, what whatever it was, THANKS! haha! I swear, this is too addicting! I am overly obsessed with making my own pigments right now! I have been buying Micas and what not from Coastal Scents for about 2 months now, and I have been making eyeshadows ever since! It is so easy, all you do is get the micas, and mix them up with some addititaves and there ya go! Your very own,homemade pigment! I have made so many different colors, and I am very pleased with what I have made! I should post up some pictures! Then you all can see how beautiful these pigments really are! yeyy!

Anyway, okay so heres another thing, I am an authorized NYX Cosmetics Representative, and let me tell you, for the money that I had to pay to be a Rep and pay for my kit, oh my goodness, it was soooooo worth it! I will also post up some pictures of the rep kit that I received, I will take pictures of everything I got,so you can all see! Let me just tell you again, for the money, and the discount that is available after you become a rep, and for the amount of stuff you recieve in your kit, it is AMAZING!! But I do have to say, NYX Customer service is not top of the line,to say the least! I swear, they put you on hold a million a 10 times per phone call! And you have to speak to "special" people, which I think is kinda weird..but whatever the discount is enough to keep me quiet about the craziness. Also, I dont know if anyone else has noticed or not, but if you have any NYX products, especially the Liquid Foundation, look on the back and read what it says. There you will find MANY spelling mistakes! It blows my mind that they can let so many products go through with spelling errors..how does no one notice this? hahah! But anyway, NYX products are amazing, I love this cosmetic line, and because of NYX, i feel no need to even think about buying MAC. But I think I have a little buddy who just might end up changing my mind after I receive a package which as far as I have heard, has MAC in it. Knowing who I am, and what type of person I am, after I receive this gift package, I might be HOOKED to MAC, and start feeling the urge and itch to go and buy some..oh no..that would be bad!!! Oh geeze!

Anyway, Im done blogging for now..I'm sure I'll be back by the end of the night..LOL!!

I just don't get it!!

Okay so I am really feeling this whole Blogging thing right about now! I never understood why people did this, it just seemed like a waste of time,but even if NO ONE goes to my blog and no one reads this or anything,it is kinda fun to sit here and blab on and on and on about stuff! haha! You know what I never understood,and cannot seem to figure out. Why everyone has jumped on this MAC Cosmetics band wagon?! Why is MAC soooo good? I dont personally own anything from MAC, and probably never will, unless given to me by some angel person or something like that! It is SO expensive.I really think that 14.50 or whatever it is for ONE eyeshadow is a bit much! I dont understand how people can justify spending that much money on an eyeshadow! I wear NYX, or just regular old drugstore makeup, and my makeup (in my opinion of course) looks just fine! I refuse to spend soooo much money on some silly eyeshadow! And the foundations are like 30 some odd dollars or something along those lines, but why!! Okay, MAYBE i would spend the money on a foundation,probably not,but lets just say maybe! But Never, in a million years would I want to spend 19.00$ on a pigment! its only one color! I use atleast 3 different colors to do my eye makeup everyday! It seems so silly! But hey, whatever floats your boat. I'm done ranting! LOL

Random..Things Im Loving!

Okay so I was convinced to make a beauty blog! Lord knows what i will talk about but, I'm sure I will figure something out.So I asked my man what to write about,and all he said was "It's a blog..write about whatever you want!"...what does that mean!?!?! LOL!!
AH HA! I got it..

Here are a few things that I'm loving right now!

I have been searching for a good foundation for the longest time,and finally I got it! I went and got the Loreal tru match liquid foundation,and the pressed powder,and let me tell you, Its AMAZING! OMG I love it! Its perfect,everything I've been looking for, and even better is that its a great price! There are so many different shades to choose from,and choosing was really easy so I am super thrilled about that!! I've tried a lot of different foundations, Rimmel, NYX, Maybelline,Loreal, Revlon, yikes the list can go on and on and on. But Loreal is definatly the best! However, the Maybelline mineral Power liquid foundation and concealer is AMAZING too!! So those two foundations are definatly my favourites!!

Hmm what else am I loving? Oh...NYC Translucent Face Powder!! I always saw a youtuber using it, and she always said she perfered it over MAC Translucent face powder, and thats what caught my eye(or ears) about it! So I went and got it!First, its so cheap..like 2$ or something silly like that! And its great! I use it all the time, I would really suggest getting some of it,because for the price, why not try it out right?! I dont buy MAC, i probably will never buy MAC, so if I can find substitutes,then I'm a happy girl! I know you are probably thinking that NYC is such a low end makeup,and its pretty much garbage,but,I promise, this is not garbage!!!!!!

I dont know what else I'm loving right now...I'll have to keep ya'll posted!!
