Too Faced-Fun In The Dark Palette

About a month ago I bought this palette and I have REALLY been loving this palette! Of course there are things that I love and that I hate about it so I am here to tell you my thoughts! First I bought it on sale for 16.25 at Sephora and thought that was a price I just could not resist! It comes with 4 eye shadows, a blush, a bronzer, lipstick and a gloss.

The 4 eye shadows are in Pin Up, Peep Show, Full Frontal, and Lucky Charms. I absolutely love the texture and pigmentation of these shadows!!! I think they are very highly pigmented and they almost feel creamy when you rub your finger in them. I find them very easy to blend and I can make a beautiful neutral look in just a few minutes. Lucky Charms, which is the green color in the palette threw me off a bit. I thought to myself "why would that be in here!!" and I do still somewhat wonder why..... Its a beautiful color but I dont use it as much as I use the other shadows! The shadows do blend beautifully and I love them! I use them almost daily!

The cheek color.. Papa Don't Peach, is a beautiful peachy pink shade and works really well for my skin tone. Gives me that "glow from within" look. I use just a little and sweep it all over my cheeks and its beautiful!

The Bronzer is called Sun Bunny, and its so pretty. Half of it is a lighter bronzer and half is a darker bronzer. I dont use them individually, I just take my brush and swirl it around and get a beautiful medium, slightly shimmery bronzer. I sometimes just sweep that on my cheeks and go.

Now the two lip colors...not my favourite. First I dont really like having lip products in pans like this, and I dont like them being so close to powders..just gets too messy. The "lipstick" in "Free Love" is a really beautiful color,and I would love to get my hands on that lipstick! Its a beautiful creamy light nude pink color and I do actually use that often. The lip gloss on the other hand, in Tropical Pink, is horrible.....I wish it wasnt but it is! Mine is like faded,so half of it is like this pink purple color and then the top half is like a clear color..so I think its old. It has glitter in it,but I dont feel the glitter on my lips so thats a good thing. There is NO color pay off with that lipgloss at all,and really was a waste to add it to the palette to begin with.
Lastly, lets talk about the Mirror and the Lights on the mirror. The mirror is fantastic, nice and big and I love having a mirror with my palettes. BUT! Yes,there is a but. Those lights that come with the palette are soooo bright. Too bright. They hurt your eyes and are not flattering what so ever. I like the concept, I think its neat, original and fun.. but those lights are just too much for me. I cant wait for them to die out. I hear you can turn the light off, but I just have not found that secret button on the top right corner to be able to do it.

All in all, for $16.25..it was totally worth it! The shadows alone are worth that much to me! Its a great little palette!

Betsey Johnson-30th Anniversary Watch!

I recently purchased this watch..er well, my husband bought it for me! LOL! It was on a great sale and I was actually hunting for a WHITE Watch! But I wanted one that I had NOT seen on everyone and their mother! So I saw this, and thought to myself that I had to have it....but instead..silly me, walked away without buying it. 3 days passed and I could NOT stop thinking about this darn watch! I needed to have it! And I needed to have it BAD! So my husband surprised me and brought it home for me one day and I was SOOOO excited! It came in this beautiful pink box, with a watch pillow on the inside and this beauty wrapped around it! I was in LOVE! I put this on and knew it was the right watch for me! its just so pretty and soooo perfect! Its definatly "me!" It retails for (or DID retail for I am not sure how you guys could get your hands on this watch) for 125.00 USD but I was able to get it for only $59.99! How Awesome is that!! Great deal!! So yea,this is my new watch and I am so thrilled to have it!

elf Studio Blushes-A Review

Lately I have been hooked on these ELF Studio Blushes! They are SO Pigmented, most are really creamy feeling,even though they are powder blushes! They retail for $3 on the ELF website. You may be able to find them at your local Target! I really love these!!!

TICKLED PINK


Tickled Pink is one of my favourites! Super pigmented and gives me a great cheek glow! Love it!!


PINK PASSION


Pink Passion is INTENSE!! But with a light hand,you can really get a great pink cheek! I love this one,but I have learnt my lesson! LESS is more with this blush! So pigmented and a little goes a long way!

PEACHY KEEN


Peachy Keen is beautiful! I love peach color blushes so this one was a must have for me! It makes my cheeks glow, kinda like that "glow from within" kinda look!! Of course,its super pigmented and creamy! Who doesn't look good in a peach colored blush? I think it would work on all skin tones!!


MELLOW MAUVE


Mellow Mauve for me is a perfect fall blush color! I worn this a lot last fall and winter and loved it! I keep a light hand when applying this blush,because my skin is very fair but its beautiful! Really easy to apply and blend out!

GOTTA GLOW


I was SO excited when I saw Gotta Glow on the website! I love highlighters,and have a ton of them so when I saw this I knew I had to have it! It is white,but when you use it, it gives off a great yellow/gold shimmer to it. Its stunning!! Definitely one of my favorite highlighters! Its really unique from any other highlighter I have! Apparently it is a dupe for NARS Albatross highlighter, that I cannot confirm or deny because I dont own NARS but, either way, I love this highlighter!

FUSHIA FUSION


Oh boy! Fushia Fusion! YIKES!! I saw this on the website and thought to myself "omg how would I wear that!!!" But of course, I ordered it anyway knowing it had to be part of my collection! I dont wear this very much, as its hard for me to wear! it is highly pigmented,of course. It does have small glitters in it,but its not overpowering or chunky,so thats really good! Its really HOT PINK and I think I need to try out this blush more! Its definitely unique to my collection because I do not usually go for HOT PINK blushes,but since it was only $3 and I (of course!) had a elf coupon code, I ordered it anyway! Let me know what you think of this blush! Any tips on how to wear it without looking silly?!

Merry


And Lastly, Merry. What a pretty blush! I dont wear it much in the summer,but since it is fall right around the corner, I am really excited to pull this blush back out and wear it! its very pretty plum kinda pink color. I really love this blush a lot!


Okay so those are the ELF Studio blushes. My favourites are Peachy Keen, Gotta Glow and Tickled Pink! Those colors are SO wearable,and perfect for my skin tone! Those are MY must haves!! I absolutely LOVE the packaging on these blushes too. They are very much like NARS packaging, but in my opinion even better than the nars because these ones have a little window so you can see the color without having to open it and it comes with a small mirror which is wonderful!

Check out these blushes on elfs website!!!

e.l.f $1 Bronzers + Highlighters!!! Review

Continuing on with my e.l.f reviews that I am doing, this is going to be talking about the Bronzers and Highlighter from their 1$ line again. I have had these for over a year and have had many chances to use these products!! Lets begin with the review! This time I am going to start with the packaging!

I dislike the packaging more than any other ELF Product!! The front part of it is perfectly find...just clear plastic with the word "elf" on it, and it also says "Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder"...Its fine..But on the back side, where the product name is...thats where I have my problem. This compact is bad...really bad..It is all clear, so you can see the underside of the products pan, and you can see the glue. On a few of my bronzers you can actually see what I can only describe as dirt? old product that got stuck to the glue?... I dont know. It doesnt look pretty at all though. This packaging does need to be fixed,because I wouldn't dare pull this out of my person and want someone to see it..It just looks dirty. Now with that aside, lets get on to the good stuff..the actual product!!!

Lets start with Luminance


This is a beautiful highlight color. It is not white, or gold, its more of a beige kind of color. When placed on your skin,it will just give you the most beautiful glow. I use it all the time as a cheek bone highlight, and also use it as a brow highlight color. This highlight powder is very pigmented,and feels really creamy. I do believe ELF has changed the formula of these powders because I had another one a while back that anytime I put my brush in the product, it would just all turn to loose powder and it was be a horrible mess. Now it seems a lot more packed into the package,which is awesome! I love this highlighter,and for $1, its fantastic!!

Sun Kissed



This more like a bronzey pinky kind of color if that helps at all.There is some definite pink in this though! It is fantastic as a cheek color on my skin tone and I really enjoy this color!! It is shimmery, so when I do use this color, I have no need for a blush or a cheek highlight, I just use it as an all over cheek color and I am ready to go! Its a beautiful shade! On darker skin tones it would be fantastic as a cheek glow, just to add a nice highlighter glow to the face. I think its fantastic!


Warm Tan



Warm than is very shimmery and much darker than the other bronzer I told you about. I dont use this on my face, I do however use it as an eyeshadow. Its a bit too gold too bronze for me,and too shimmery. I must say though,this powder feels the best to me. It feels like silk when you rub your finger over the product and that I really love!
I just don't like it on my skin at all. But if you do own this bronzer,and have a difficult time using it as a bronzer like I do, try it as an eyeshadow! It has great pigmentation and goes on so smooth!


Matte Bronze



This bronzer I was really excited about! I wanted a great contour color and thought this would be it!! It is great,but its a bit dark for my skin, but I am able to use it as long as I have a very light hand and dont pick up too much product! As for it being matte, hmm...it is matte,but when I look at the product, I can see little small bits of Gold glitter in it. When swatched on my hand, those bits of glitter dont seem to transfer onto my hand. Strange. Its very dark,so if you are darker than me, which I am NW 20 in MAC Foundation, then this might be really great for you as a contour. I have since bought a different contour color,so this product doesnt get used as often as I could. As for the pigmentation,its fantastic! its not chalky and goes on really smoothe. Its easy to blend which is a must when you are talking about using it as a contour color!! Even if you are fair skinned like me, with a super light hand and tapping off any excess powder then you will be able to use it!!




And Last but not least, the $1 Blush and Bronzer duo. I purchased this from Target about a month ago,and I was curious if it was the exact same as the studio line $3 Blush and Bronzer duo that I love..and truth be told, it is quite similar but not exactly the same. The shades of the products is similar, but the texture of the blush/bronzer are completely different. This $1 duo is much softer to the touch,while the Studio Line Blush/bronzer duo feels like of rough. These 2 colors are very pigmented and blend very nicely and I really love this blush/bronzer duo better than the Studio Line Blush/Bronzer duo, which really surprised me because I really really love the Studio line one. I am unsure if this duo is being sold on eyeslipsface.com, you should check it out though.

So that completes my review of these bronzers/highlighter. I hope you enjoyed and if you have any questions,please just ask!!

E.L.F $1 Blushes

Way way back over a year ago, I purchased all of the 1$ ELF Blushes that they had. I have used them many times and now feel I can give a review about them that may be very helpful if you have never used them and are skeptical because of the price etc. So I will go through all the colors I have and let you know what I think!



Above is ELF Bronzed. Probably my least favourite of the bunch. It is very pigmented and not chalky at all, but the color of it just isn't what I would use as a bronzer/blush. I imagine that it would look beautiful on darker skin tones than mine,but I am fair skinned and it just doesnt work for me.



Above:Flushed
Flushed was actually the first 1$ Blush I got from ELF and it looked SO pretty on the website and when I got it home and swatched it I couldnt help but to think "OMG I cant wear that!!!" It is SO pink, so pigmented and very very vibrant! It is a hard colour for me to wear, but with a very light hand and good blending, it is very wearable on someone with my skin tone. Again,this would be beautiful for someone who is dark skinned. All of the blushes do have some shimmer to them. I am happy that they are shimmery and not at all glittery because I do not like glitter in my blush usually!



Above Glow(No idea what happened to the color on this photo, i swear,its pink! Weird
((This is the only photo that doesnt look exactly like the actual color. I'm sorry!))

Glow is an absolutely beautiful baby pink color that I absolutely love! Its like a baby pink/ coral/rose color. It is perfect for my light skin,goes on very smooth, and like I stated above, it is shimmery. I dont find these blushes chalky what so ever and I really love this blush. It is a go to blush of mine when I just want to quickly put a light color on my cheeks before running out of the house. It is easy to work with and I truly enjoy this color! For me, its a must have from ELF!!




Above is Innocence
This is probably my second least favourite blush from this line. It is extremely light, no shimmer to it at all, and the color pay off is poor. When I swatch it on my finger you can see color, but when i rub it into my hand, it basically disappears. I never use this blush,and would not recommend it at all...even if it is only a dollar. If it was more pigmented, it would be a perfect soft baby pink, but its not. So this is a something to pass on.



Above is Shy..
To me, Shy is absolutely beautiful. I love the texture of it, it feels creamy and is it very pigmented. The color is like a pink rose color and kind of a plum tone to it. Hard for me to explain, but its beautiful! Gives a beautiful glow to the cheeks and its beautiful! Another must have from ELF!! Great for the summer,but one of those blushes you can really enjoy year round!




Above is Coy..

Last but not lease is my FAVOURITE...Coy..This blush is amazing. Like most of the other blushes, it is highly pigmented, creamy, and easy to blend. It does have slight shimmer to it,but nothing overwhelming! It is pink,and kind of bronze... Seems like there is some gold in there as well.. Its extremely difficult to describe, one of those products you must see it to understand. I absolutely love the way this blush looks on my skin. It gives me a great glow, with a beautiful color!! I think it would be perfect on all skin tones!! Its unlike any other blush and to me definitely a must have! If you were to only order ONE of these blushes, please get Coy!


Now as for the packaging, it is not my favourite. As you saw in the pictures, it is a clear plastic case, and the lid slides up, revealing the product. You get a lot of product in here though, which is always nice! I understand these blushes were only $1 and for that simple fact, I can accept the packaging..and appreciate the product inside,but if I had it my way,the packaging would be updated to fit better within the ELF company because now a lot of the newer products have very sleek packaging!!!

Final thoughts. Most of the blushes are absolutely beautiful. I think woman of all ages and races can wear at least one of these blushes! If you haven't already, go and check out eyeslipsface.com and get one because I believe you truly will enjoy them!! They are great, not only because they cost only $1 but also because they are pigmented and creamy feeling and not chalky at all!! Check them out!!


Disclaimer-I wasnt paid, I wasnt given the products. I just truly enjoy these blushes and felt like blogging!!

Back to Blogging

Okay Okay,so I have been a horrible blogger. But! I am trying now really hard to be better! I just feel like there are not enough hours in the day! Anyway though, these next few blogs are going to be about my E.L.F makeup that I have! Just to get me started. This seems like a good place to start because its not only affordable,but it is also for the most part some fantastic makeup!!! So lets begin!

Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Review

If you read my post from yesterday you will know that I received the Perricone MD No foundation Foundation. I put it on bright and early this morning (5:30am to be exact!) It is now 4 hours later and I wanted to just give a quick update on how I am feeling about it now that I have it on and it has been on for 4 hours.

I first put on my Clinique Moisturizer and then put on the No Foundation Foundation. I pumped 2 pumps onto the back of my hand and just used my fingers to put it on. I normally never use my fingers for foundation,but since I figured this wasn't like a "real" foundation I would just use my fingers. It went on much like a moisturizer would. Extremely easy to bend in. Almost too easy? What I mean is, why I was putting it on,it was fairly hard to see where I had already placed it or not. Either way, I put it on all over my face and down a bit on my neck. Normally after a foundation I would want to put a powder on overtop,but I resisted the urgre because I wanted to be able to properally see what this foundation did for me just as is.

Even though the product is a bit darker than my natural skin color, It went on transparant really. I was amazed that it didnt alter my skin color at all. I have large pores around my nose and I can say that this foundation seems to have made almost disappear. Of course if I look hard enough and close enough, I can still kind of see them,but I do not believe anyone else would ever be able to see them! My pores are a huge problem for me, I really despise them,and most foundations settle right into my pores making them looking even bigger! Ahh its horrible,but this No Foundation Foundation almost makes them disappear. I do believe my skin looks more glowing,healthier even.

I have very red cheeks and freckles, and though this foundation does not cover anything up I can say that it has evened out my skin,making it look flawless but not looking like I have any type of foundation on, which is great because I do not like the look of a heavy foundation.

Now for some bad things....

The smell this product has can be quite unpleasant. Some say it smells fishy, I dont think it smells fishy,more smells like a hospital! LOL! I can say that shortly after putting the product on I was unable to smell it. Now it could be just that I got used to the smell. Also,this product is not oily,but it does leave your face feeling a bit sticky. Not too sticky, but for me it is not as smoothe feeling as I tought it would be. Just kind of feels like it doesnt full settle on your skin. I will update you if anything changes,but for now,it is still a bit sticky.

All in all i like this product. I do however have a slight problem with the 50$ price tag. It is a small amount of product,though you use little of it, I just couldn't justify spending that much. I am very on the fence about this. I like it a lot right now,but having to repurchase this would be a bit difficult. I say if you are the type of person who does not like a lot of coverage and just want to make your skin look healthier and more even and price is not a factor to you, I would say get yourself a sample of it and try it and see if you love it enough for $50. I will continue to wear this in the summer months,because the sticky feeling doesnt bother me nor does the smell and I truly enjoy the results thus far!

Perricone MD- No Foundation Foundation-First Glance

Hello Hello! :) I recently won a little contest a beauty blogger was doing on the Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation.

First here is what Sephora website says about this "No Foundation Foundation"..

No Foundation Foundation
What it is:
An age-fighting makeup that provides natural coverage and nonchemical SPF 30 protection.

What it is formulated to do:
Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation offers translucent coverage allowing the natural health and glow of skin to shine through while protecting the complexion against damaging UV rays. It works to correct skin undertones and offers all-day moisture, providing an even, dewy finish. A dose of specially treated pigments, blended with light diffusing mica, instantly soften the look of lines, wrinkles, and pores, creating a flawlessly radiant look.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens

What else you need to know:
This formula includes antiaging actives, DMAE and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which help to firm skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time.

Okay, so it sounds really quite awesome doesn't it? I was totally thrilled when I heard I won this give away! I had actually done some reading up on it and was quite interested,thought this product would be a wonderful product to use especially since the summer is here now. And since I prefere little to no foundation in the warmer months, and wanted more of like a Tinted Moisturizer, I think this product has the potential to be my new best friend!

This No foundation Foundation costs $50 on the Sephora website, and that is why I was personally a little hesitant to purchase it. The bottle at frist has a screw on top with no pump, but as I was getting everything out of the box I saw a little Pump in there, so it does indeed have a wonderful pump on it so atleast you know you won't be wasting any because you wont have to pour it out,and of course its more sanitary to have the pump! Big thumbs up for that definatly! I pumped a bit out onto my hand. When I first saw it I thought "Oh my! Its definatly darker than my skin!" It does have a wonderful light consistance which was easy to blend into my skin. As I was rubbing it in,it still seemed pretty dark and I started to get fairly nervous. But then all of a sudden,as I rubbed it a bit more is seemed to..disappear! Disappear in a good way though. My hand felt so smoothe,and I really enjoyed the way it felt and looked. There was no real coverage, but it just looked dewy and healthy. I should have tried this on my face but since I already have a full face of makeup on, I will have to wait until tomorrow.

I read a handful of reviews on the Sephora website and some people were complaining of the smell,so of course I had to smell my hand. It does definatly have a smell to it, not exactly pleasant but not horrible. I can see how some thought it smelt bad though. If you are sensitive to certain scents, I would suggest getting a sample of this before purchasing the whole bottle!

The Perricone MD "No Foundation Foundation" is very smoothe,and once it dries, it feels very lightweight,not sticky or oily. I really love the fact that this No Foundation Foundation has an SPF of 30, and I think this is going to be a great "tinted moisturizer" for me! :)

One last thing before I end this post. I am extremely excited to see how it wears throughout the day and see what it does for my skin. I do have large pores on my nose and off the sides of my nose, and I really hope this foundation can help minimize the look of those pores,because with most foundations I use,they can make my pores look even larger! I have very uneven dry skin,but a bit oily in the T-zone so I look forward to seeing how this No Foundation Foundation works out for me and my hard to handle skin!

I want to thank DC Beauty for doing this contest and picking me!!! And I would like to thank Perricone MD for sending me this product! :) I will be doing an updated REAL Review in the upcoming days to let you know how this product is really working for me,there will also be photos so you can see for youself what it does/does not do for me!

Hana Profesional 1" Flat Iron

Hello Beauties!

So I read many blogs here, and came across a blog that I just LOVE! DC Beauty..DirtCheap Beauty! Currently they are doing a give away on the Hana Professional 1" Flat Iron which I just cant pass up the opportunity to try and win this baby!! I currently am using a Revlon flat iron..wait.correction....I WAS using that flat iron. But I notice now that I have hundreds of "baby" hairs..only arnt those hairs suppose to be around your hair line? Well, on me,they are all throughout my head. Which can only lead me to believe that this darn flat iron has been BREAKING my hair! Heat protectant/Hair Serum, doesnt matter or help. the Revlon flat iron is just a NO GO for me!

But anyway, I am super interested in this flat iron, and the icing on the cake is that its PINK! Who knows if the one she is giving away is pink, that doesnt really matter! But it just looks so pretty!

The Blogger from DirtCheap Beauty says that this flat iron is really light and glided along her strands of hair smoothly without damaging her hair. Doesnt that just sound heavenly!??! It does to me!

I have permed curly hair, so I do need a straightener that will work for my curly hair. The highest temperature is 450 so thats super great! Also, I am not 100% sure, but it looks like I would be able to add some flowly bouncy curls with this flat iron, which is definatly not an option with my Revlon Flat Iron, which I wish I was able to do because I see videos on youtube all the time of people curling their hair with their flat irons,so I wish I would be able to do that too! Ahh jealous! LOL

Anyway, so cross your fingers that I win this baby!!

And also, go check out her blog if you don't already!! Its a fantastic blog and I am totally hooked on reading!!!

Now cross those fingers everyone!!

I LOVE this Eyeliner!

It seems like I have a million eyeliners,mostly Black eyeliners. Gel, Creme, Liquid, and Pencil. I have all different kinds,but like most of my beauty products, most are just drug store products. I've got to say, I think I have found my favourite eyeliner of them all! Wet n' Wild Creme Eyeliner #886 Black and it was only $3.99. It comes in a little plastic pot and it comes with a mini eyeliner brush. I have used the brush,its okay,little too hard so I will just stick to my own favourite eyeliner Brush. Anyway, this eyeliner is so black, very creamy and goes on very smoothe. We all know Wet N Wild is such an inexpensive brand, which to some might mean, Cheap,poor quality! Well, this creme liner is definatly not poor quality! Some have said they prefere this Creme liner over MAC Blacktrack Fluidline.

There are only 2 different colors in the Creme liner, Black and Purple, which is a little annoying because since it is such a good product, I want more! Atleast give us a brown!

Anyway,that is my little mini review on my new favourite Creme liner! If you don't already have this creme liner, go ahead and get out to your local drugstore and pick yourself up one!

So yea,there are my 40 Questions. How fun huh?

So I will blog..Again.

Ah! I was talking to a friend of mine,and we were talking about blogging again, So I've decided that I will blog again,because I am so bored lately and figured this would be a good time consumer and fun! Anyway, I'll update on whats been going on lately first.

My Hubby is in the military and we got stationed in a new state! So we moved 1 month ago and OMG that was no fun! I thought it would be,but you never realize how much time and energy it will take to do this! AND you never realize how much stuff you have until you start putting everything in a box! We decided that we would move ourselves,instead of having the Military Movers come and pack everything for us and move it for us then deliver and bring it all to our new house...Noooo we decided that it would be more beneficial to us to just move our own things because we would get paid for it. So we were packign everything up..and I had a cough...which every single day,it got worse and worse. Finally 2 days before we were set to leave,I could barely breathe. I went and got an over the counter inhaler, and TONS of different kinds of medicine to try and fix this quick so that I wasnt sick and useless for the move! Well,it still kept getting worse. I couldnt hardly breath. I was useless. My hubby had to pretty much pack everything by himself and move everything into the truck all on his own! Poor Guy! We drove all the way to another State and I was so sick.Couldnt sleep at night because all I would do is cough cough cough! Horrible. Finally a week and a half after being in our new State, I went to the doctor and was told I have Bronchitis and Pneumonia. UGH! AHHH! WHAT! I've never in my life been so sick. I've never had even the flu in my life, but now I get Bronchitis and Pneumonia? Horrible, I was given medicine and sent on my way. I also lost my voice too, YAY, Laryngitis! Lovely. So my pneumonia is pretty much gone,still got a cough, a month later,but its SO much better than it was before. I still have laryngitis, its been..3 weeks?..long time. Such perfect time to get so sick huh! LOL! But we are here now and getting settled in. For the first 2 weeks of living here we didnt have Phone,Internet or Cable. It was so horrible and so boring! Im getting ready to go back home and visit my family in about a month,so excited! its been a while since I've seen them,so that will be nice!

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!!
