August 2014 Favorites

Hey guys!!! Summer is almost over!! My summer was so boring for the most part, but my trip to NYC made it more fun sadly it was only for a week and after that back to boring. Do you guys have any plans for the fall?? Now let's start with my favorites from the month of August! 88 Original Palette by Coastal Scents-  I will always love love this palette, but this month I gave it a lot of love. I gave it so much love that I hit pan on a couple of colors even my favorite crease color I used it all up. I had to go find a similar color in a different palette. I was really into wearing bright colors on my eyes this month. Mary Kay At Bold Fluid Eyeliner-  I really love doing a bold eyeliner look at times and I LOVE the teal color in this line. It doesn't budge once you put it on. My eyes water while at work sometimes and it didn't smudge. A lot of people compliment my makeup when I wear this. Mary Kay Gel Eyeliner-  I used to be all about liquid eyeliner and nothi...

Vitality VoxBox

Hey guys!!!! I was excited when Influenster chose me to receive another box!! This time around it is the Vitality VoxBox!! I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. When it arrived I was a little eehhh about it because about 3 of these things I won't be able to use. Here is why.... Playtex Sport Fresh Balance For this one I will just go straight to the point. I don't use tampons and probably never will. That is all. I will be giving them to someone that will use them. Bikini Ready Energy Gummies This is another one I will get straight to the point. These gummies have caffeine in them and I can't have caffeine. My nerves act up really bad. Again I will give them to someone who will use them. Softlips Cube I am always trying new lip balms, but I already knew this one wasn't going to work out for me. It was nice that it came with two coupons so if I enjoyed it I could get more. The reason why I k...

Revlon Lash Potion Volume & Length Mascara

Hey guys!!! I have been trying out a mascara for a while now and I am ready to say what I think of it. As much as I loved my  Maybelline The Rocket Mascara  I am really interested in trying other mascaras. I had a coupon to the Revlon Lash Potion mascara so I decided to try that one out! First can we appreciate the beautiful packaging??  I got it in blackest black and in waterproof. One thing I love is that even with this mascara being waterproof I can remove it really easy. With it being waterproof I would hope that my curl will hold all day, but sadly with this mascara it does not. I put my makeup on for work at 5:15am everyday and by the time I get home by 4pm my lashes have fallen back down. I rarely have time to go to the restroom to check on how long it lasts curled. Of course since it is waterproof it doesn't smudge for me at all. If you have stubborn lashes like me I can already say this is not a good mascara for you. The website says that it " M...

Real Techniques Blush and Setting Brush

Hey guys!! I have two more Real Techniques brushes to write about that is until I get more because I am obsessed. Previously I wrote about the Expert Face Brush and Powder Brush , Starter Kit , and Miracle Complexion Sponge. This time I am talking about the  blush brush  (left) and the  setting brush  (right). Blush Brush I love how soft and fluffy this brush is, even though all their brushes are soft, and I can use this brush for two things. I mostly use it for blush, but I can also use it to bronze up my skin. It applies your blush and bronzer so flawlessly. I used to use the little brushes that came with blushes and as soon as I fell in love with this brush it was thrown out!  Setting Brush I never thought I would ever use this brush when I bought it, but I LOVE setting my concealer with this. The size of the brush makes it really easy to go under your eyes and set the concealer.  I have seen people use it to blend out...

August 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!! It is that time again! I was excited for this bag and tried everything ASAP! I couldn't help myself. Here is why: I was really excited to get the GlamGlow mask and the Urban Decay mascara. One thing I wasn't a big fan of was the bag. I don't like the material of this bag at all. It feels fake to me. Did you guys like the bag?? Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Something told me that this one wasn't going to work out for me because I noticed that most of the high end mascaras are not waterproof. I went to the UD website and it doesn't say anything about it being waterproof. I also went to Sephora and they said it is not. I am going to be giving this away in giveaway really soon. (hint hint) Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Lip Conditioner I am looking for my holy grail lip balm so I was excited to get this in my bag. Sadly, it didn't work out as well as I wanted it to. It doesn't dry out my lips as bad as some other sc...

LUSH Cosmetics Fresh Face Mask

Hey guys!!! I had heard so much about LUSH from YouTube and blogs so I was very curious about the brand. A mall near me finally opened up a LUSH and I went in there as soon as I could to see what they had to offer. I love their customer service and they really know what will be good for your skin type. I asked for a moisturizing mask and that is what I got: I got the Love Lettuce Fresh Face Mask and I gotta say that to me it feels like you have a spa on your face when you have this on I don't know why. It might be because it is cold since you have to keep this mask refrigerated. This mask "gently brightens skin with exfoliating almonds and comforting honey." "A almond and lavender to dull, flaky skin."  If you have Normal to Dry or Dry Skin I think you should try this out. My skin feels hydrated and smooth right after you wash it off even after its been a few days since you used it. It also exfoliates your skin while you are washing it off. It s...

August 2014 Empties

Hey guys!!! I have collected quite a bit of trash so now I am going to show you what I have used up, what I think of it, and would I repurchase it.  Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes - I love these wipes to remove any swatches from my hands or arms. I will definitely repurchase these as soon as I can get to a store which I hope is soon. Rimmel London SCANDAL EYES Liquid Eyeliners - I used up two liquid eyeliners. One is the Precision Micro Eyeliner and the other is the Thick & Thin Eyeliner. I really enjoyed these liners so much especially since they were waterprooof. Maybe I will repurchase them in the future, but right now I have been into gel liner so I don't know. I do highly recommend them though. Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner - At first I thought this was okay, but one day it smudged really bad on me that I couldn't even finish this up. I know a lot of people rave about it, but it didn't work out...

Maybelline Eye Studio 24 HR Color Tattoos

Hey guys!!! This is one of my favorite products from Maybelline. I heard my friend Nikki talking about them in her videos and I had to try one out. The first one I got is from the Metal collection in Inked in Pink. Recently in a swap I received the color Caramel Cool, but unfortunately it is a limited edition color and it is not available anymore. I am sorry about that. I have loved my Inked in Pink so much that I have hit pan on it. I have heard that you don't need a primer with these, but I still put primer on just because I have oily eyelids. When you apply it just blend it out quickly because once it sets it will not budge. I recommend you to do one eye at a time so you have time to blend it out. I love using these as a base or even alone with winged liner and done.  I was at Sephora once and they were trying to remove my eye makeup, but they were having trouble. They asked me "What you got on your eyes? Because whatever it is it doesn't want to bud...

Mary Kay At Play Bold Fluid Eyeliners

Hey guys!!! I went with a friend to a Mary Kay event to get a sneak peak of the new products. I swatched all of the colors they had and I was very impressed. So when they came out I purchased two colors.  I got the colors Gold Metal and The Real Teal .  I really wanted a teal eyeliner and also I wanted a color that I have never tried that's why I decided to go with the gold. They are soooo pigmented and the applicator is really easy to work with. Time for the swatches: Aren't these colors gorgeous??! One thing I will say if you get these liners make sure you have the best eye makeup remover because once these set they will NOT budge at all. Especially for the teal color. I removed these swatches with a makeup remover wipes and the teal color left a stain on my hand. These eyeliners are $10 each on the Mary Kay Website. They also have a purple and a bright blue color that I want to get in the future haha. If they had a black liner like this o...

Face of the Day!

Hey guys!!! I haven't done a Face of the Day in a while just because I haven't been in the mood to take pictures to be honest haha. I am a weirdo because I hate taking pictures by myself I don't know why. This time it wasn't a beauty guru inspired makeup I came up with it on my own. I started off by priming my lids and face. I primed my lids with the Urban Decay Primer Potion and my face with the Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer . Right after everything sets I go into my 88 Original Palette by Coastal Scents  and I go into a light brown color to blend it out in my crease as my transition shade. Next I go into the same palette, but this time I swirl my brush into a shimmery light brown and a darker brown. I applied it into my crease and I blend it out of course. I kept repeating this until it was as dark as I wanted it. Once again going into the same palette I used a matte light peachy color and I applied it all over the lid. As...

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil

Hey guys!! I am a huge fan of cleansing oils to remove my makeup and when The Body Shop was having a 40% off sale AND free shipping I decided it was a great time to purchase this one especially after I heard Amelia Liana RAVING about it.  Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil The first cleansing oil I ever tried was the Garnier Clean Nourishing Cleansing Oil and I did enjoy that one while I was using it. Now I am in LOVE with this one. It removes all of my makeup with 1-2 pumps and it removes my waterproof mascara amazingly. Just make sure that with any cleansing oil your hands and face are dry before you rub it on your face. The Garnier cleansing oil will leave my some oily residue after I washed everything off, but it wasn't a problem for me since I have normal to dry skin and also I normally shower after removing my makeup. I know some people don't like that so I recommend you to try out The Body Shop one. It doesn't leave any residue once you wash it off. ...

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and Powder Brush

Hey guys!!! Previously I spoke about the Starter Kit and it is a set of eye brushes. Now I am going to talk about two more of my favorite brushes from Real Techniques, but this time it is for the face.  Left to Right: Expert Face Brush and Powder Brush. I have heard a lot of Real Techniques brushes and when I saw that Kohl's carries them I decided to get one. I started off with getting the Powder Brush. I have the Mary Kay Powder brush and this one, but I prefer this one over the Mary Kay one. This one is more soft and I think it applies the powder nicely on my face. Whenever I get heavy handed with my bronzer or blush I use this brush to blend it out. The only thing I don't like is that it kinda takes a while to dry.  Now on to the Expert Face Brush. I have heard that this brush was awesome to use to apply foundation and I only had the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge at the moment. I love the sponge so much that I already have a ba...

New York Haul

Hey guys!!! I was in New York a few weeks ago and one day was dedicated to shoooppppiiiinnngggg!! I decided to show you what I got.  I didn't go as crazy as I thought I was going to haha. I went to Sephora, ELF Store, The Body Shop, Walgreens, and Lush. On to what I bought: Sephora Collection Z Palette-  I have MakeUp Geek Eyeshadows that needed to be put in a Z palette and I was excited when I had found this in a store!  Tarte Skinny SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner-  I am looking for a liner that will stay on my waterline and not budge even when I have watery eyes. Sad to say that this didn't work for me. It made my eyes water even more than usual. It is going back. No Cosmetics No Bleeding Lip Secret Lip Liner-  I been looking for a good clear lip liner so I decided to try this one out.  Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain-  A friend of mine gifted this to me. He gave me to color 08 Cute Pink. I can't wait to try ...
