May Favorites 2014

Hey guys!!! I decided to do my favorites of the month of May. I don't know if I will do one every month, but I will try. Now on to the favorites. It's Judy Time Eyeshadow Palette:  I recently got the palette and spent most of the month playing around with it. I am in love with this palette and I did a review  here.   Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer:  In March I bought this product and I didn't start using it till this month. OMG I don't know why I took so long to use it because it has quickly become my holy grail bronzer and also I reviewed that  here. Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner in Jet Black:  This was my first ever gel eyeliner and it is a lot easier to use than I thought. Only thing is that its not as black I would want it but it is a good gel liner. I reviewed it  here. Mary Kay Blush in Shy Blush:  I honestly didn't think I would love this blush, but surprisingly I love it. It gives you a beautiful glow. I reviewed that as well...

WORST NAIL POLISH EVER!!!!

Hey guys!!! I had gotten this set of nail polishes for my birthday from my friend and of course I was excited cause I am a nail polish addict now. I was planning on reviewing the whole set, but something went wrong. I tried one of the colors and had no problem. Then I tried a pretty green color and when it chipped I noticed something weird. As you can see the color looks gorgeous. I was in love... .....BUT is why I hate it!!!! This is KLEANCOLOR Nail Laquer in the color 163 Metallic Green. This color turned my nails yellow as you can see. This was about a month and a half ago and it is still halfway on my nails. I am still going to try the other colors I got, but I am a little hesitant because of this. My suggestion is if you decide to get this brand DO NOT get this color.

TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray VS L'orealBoost It Blowout Heat Spray

Hey guys!!! When I first started to use heat on my hair no one ever told me that you need to use heat protection on it and after so many years of not using much on my hair to protect it it's not in the best condition. Once I heard that you must use heat protectant I decided to go with one that has been raved about on YouTube (of course haha) and it is the TRESemme heat protectant. Recently L'oreal came out with a heat protectant spray and I really wanted to try that one out. I decided to compare these two heat protectant sprays and see if one is better than the other. I got them both at Target, TRESemme I got it last year and L'oreal I got it 3 weeks ago, for $3.99. Let's start off with the TRESemme one. This was my first time ever using a heat protectant spray so I was in love with the way my hair felt. I was really impressed with how soft my hair felt mostly because this is so cheap and sometimes cheap products don't work on me. Only thing is that...

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of  Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n...

To all my Beauty and Fashion lovers...

Hey guys!!! Just thought I would write this blog to share a couple of things with you guys just in case you were interested!! In CVS there are several beauty products that are 50% or 75% off. They are having their semi annual clearance sale right now and if you are interested in knowing what products are on sale check out  Nouveau's blogpost  to see the list. I have a couple that I want to get. Do you guys see anything on that list that you are interested in?? At the same time Walgreens is having their semi annual sale as well. It is also 50% or 70% off. Again check out  Nouveau's blog  for the whole list of products on sale. One of her tips on her blog is that if Walgreens is having a BOGO sale on anything it also applies to clearance items.  Now on to the sales going on this weekend.  Milani Cosmetics  is having a 30% off sale on their website and it ends on May 30th. Use code: HOTDAYS OCC  is having a 20% off sale on their we...

NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipsticks

Hey guys!!! I recently did the  Lip Products Addict Tag  and I mentioned a couple of NYX lipsticks that I said I will be reviewing soon. I have heard how great NYX products are and I wasn't sure where to start, but thanks to Ipsy I started with the lipsticks and the rest I picked them up from  Hautelook. The color I received in my  Ipsy bag  is the color 517 Hades. The website says it is a muted brown-pink, but to me it looks more like a browny nude and I don't see any pink. This is the first nude I have ever used on my lips and to me it looks weird since my lips are pigmented I am used to seeing some color on my lips. I always use a pink color gloss to make it a pinky nude. The next color is 524 Aphrodite. The website says it is a grey-toned violet and I agree. It is a gorgeous color, but it doesn't look good on me. Also it makes my teeth look yellow. This color was a total fail for me. Next is my most favorite of them all 538 Heredes. ...

BH Cosmetics It'sJudyTime Eyeshadow Palette

Hey guys!!! If you guys haven't heard or even watched Judy from  itsjudytime  or  itsJudysLife  then you have definitely been living under a rock. I didn't know about her up until ThatsHeart did a vlog about her and Judy's meetup and they were promoting their palettes. I already got and reviewed the  That's Heart Eyeshadow and Blush Palette  so I thought why not get Judy's palette especially since she's one of my top 5 people to watch. I saw it went on sale and I took that chance to get it.    Aren't the shades on this palette gorgeous??! What really drew me in to get this was the purple shades and blue shade. I love that it has her saying under the mirror, "Natural is beautiful, but makeup is glam." This palette has a cream matte color for a brow highlight, transition shade, shimmers, other matte shades, and satin. Now time for the swatches:  OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PALETTE! You see those gorgeous shades?! Swatched a...

Be a Bombshell The One Stick

Hey guys!!! Before I started blogging I received about two Ipsy bags and in one of those bags I received the Be a Bomsbshell The One Stick in Flustered.  At first when I got this I had no idea what this was for so I had to look on their website to find out! It is $16 and this can be used as a blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow. I have only used this on my cheeks. Flustered is a pretty reddish pink with shimmer. The swatch on the picture is a heavy swatch. I wouldn't use this on my lips because of how shimmery this is and I don't feel comfortable using this on my eyelid I don't know why. As for the product on the cheeks I love it. It is really pigmented so you have to be careful with this because if you put too much on then you will look like a clown and no one wants that right? It is very easy to blend and it gives you a natural blush to your cheek. A little goes a long way so this stick will last me a long while. I have been using this going to work because I ...

Premium Cat's Pride Fresh & Light

Hey guys!! I thought I would do something different and random today. This is time I am going to show something that will only interest all my kitten and cat owners out there. I am sorry if this doesn't interest you, but I will try to post another blog today beauty related. I had gotten a coupon for this so I decided to use it and this cat litter literally sucks so much. It says Total Odor Control and that is totally wrong. After one day of not cleaning you can smell the piss in the area you have your litter box! Usually whenever you clean the litter all the pee clumps up with the litter and turns into a ball of pee so that makes it easier to clean when you use the shovel. Now with this litter the ball breaks apart making it difficult to clean it so you end up leaving some old pee in there making the area smell worse. I had to immediately go get new litter because I couldn't take the smell anymore. Hope this was helpful to all my cat owners out there. 

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Hey guys!!!! I purchased this beauty.... I already reviewed the  Chocolate Soleil Bronzer  recently and then the  Shadow Insurance Primer  before I even picked up this sample set! Now on to talk about the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. As always my fav YouTuber  Casey Holmes  did a  First Impression  on the mascara and ever since then I been wanting to try this mascara out.  This mascara makes your lashes look amazing. It makes them long and have lots of volume. It actually makes it look like you are wearing falsies who wouldn't want that right??!! Only thing is if you love to do 2 layers of mascara this one will get clumpy. This would have been my new holy grail high end mascara.....BUT it isn't waterproof! My lashes fall back down...such a sad day for me haha. If you don't have stubborn lashes I highly recommend you check this out!  I have been wondering if I should try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash...

The Lip Products Addict TAG!

Hey guys!!! Amelia and Estee, aka AmelianLiana and Essiebutton , on YouTube created a tag together and I thought why not do it on my blog and have something different on here. You guys should totally check them out!  Best Balm/Treatment? My very good friend Krystelle recommended me Smith's Rosebud Salve and I been enjoying it. It is not the best one for me, but it is the best one I have tried so far. Whenever I first put it on my lips feel so hydrated and look glossy, but my lips don't stay moisturized throughout the day or even if I put it on at night before bed I wake up with dry lips.  Best Eye-Catching Red? My favorite red is Rimmel London Show Off Lip Laquer in Big Bang.  It is a very bright red and these are highly pigmented. The formula for these lip laquers are amazing. They last about 3 hours on me before it starts to fade, but they feel moisturizing and most important really do not dry out my lips. They are very easy to apply. More in depth ...

MKGLam VoxBox Review

Hey guys!!! I recently received these Mary Kay products complimentary for testing purposes by Influenster and I was so excited!! I wanted to try some out especially I always see my mom always using their skin care and lipsticks!! You see all the products I got??!! Ain't it exciting??!! My friend Brittany was just as excited as me because she just recently became a Mary Kay Consultant! !!! Well anyways on to the products I received! Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara I hear great things about Mary Kay mascaras, BUT since this one isn't waterproof I didn't even try this mascara. I need waterproof because if not the curl will fall back down and I don't want that. I will give this away in a future giveaway on this blog. Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Shy Blush This blush is really gorgeous!! It is a peachy pink with a golden sheen to it. I honestly don't think one needs to highlight their cheekbones when you wear this because it gives you such a beaut...

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

Hey guys!!! I never ever ever ever used a bronzer or even knew what it was for till of course I started watching YouTube beauty videos. Thanks to my good friend Merlin for giving me a gift card to Sephora I was able to purchase this little sample set. I am going to do separate reviews for each product and I have already done one for the  Shadow Insurance Primer  and the others will be coming soon. Today as you already know I will be talking about the bronzer. I was excited to FINALLY try this since it's really raved about on YouTube. I am always grabbing this and smelling it a lot whenever I am at home haha. It is made out of cocoa powder and it smells like chocolate!!! MMMM!! They only have two shades and I got the shade Medium/Deep. Here's the swatch: I recently tried a shimmery bronzer and this one and I gotta say I prefer a matte bronzer the best! I only bronze my face with this since I suck at contouring and I don't think I have the right brush for co...
