January 2016 Empties Part 2

Hey guys!!! I have used up some products and I have a part 1 for the month of January and now I am going to show you what else I used up. I might be doing these monthly just because I will be getting behind if I don't. I will show you what I used up and what I think of them and if I will repurchase or not. Clinique Makeup Brush Cleanser-  As you guys know I will always have this product in my empties. It is my holy grail brush cleaner. I use this every night to spot clean my brushes.  Sephora Collection 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation-  I hoarded this bottle for too long because it was hidden in the back of my collection. This product is horrible for me. I realized it broked me out and with my oily skin it breaks apart bad and even before I was oily it did that. The finish when you first apply it its gorgeous, but doesn't last long. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask-  I used to love love this mask. This made my skin feel fresh and c...

It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Mascara Primer

Hey guys!!! I know I never really talk about mascara because I tend to stick to ones I love, but lately I have been trying out different ones and I will be talking about in the next coming weeks. The one I will talk about today is the It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Mascara Primer . I honestly didn't really have high hopes for this product because it didn't say it was waterproof so I thought I would be seeing smudging by the end of the day. I only use this on my lower lashes and I have not had any smudging issues or flaking with this product. I have never had an issue with this mascara clumping at all.  The best part about this mascara is how thin, small, and long the wand is. It coats every single lash and you can coat your lashes quickly with how long this wand is. This sample has lasted me a long time since October and it is still going strong. I saw this exact size at Ulta for $10 I believe so if anyone wants to try it you can get it there. ...

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick

Hey guys!!! You guys know how much I love my cream shadow sticks so I had to try this one out as well. I actually got this in a set of Bobbi Brown products and I got it for free after spending $25 or more online at Sephora. I already spoke about the Instant Long-Wear Makeup Remover and now I want to talk about the Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Bark.  This shadow stick is really pigmented. It is supposed to be a long-lasting waterproof eyeshadow that glides on easily. I agree with that claim. When you apply this product on your eye it glides on really easily and it blends out really easily. The picture swatch is only one swipe. I do agree it is waterproof because my allergies started acting up and my eye water so much and my eye makeup didn't budge. I also walked out in sprinkling rain and some drops got on my eye and still didn't budge. I'm sure you get the point now haha. I always use this whenever I want a good brown smokey eye. I never wear i...

January 2016 Play! By Sephora

Hey guys!!! I know I didn't show you guys my December box, but I actually received the box the day before I left for traveling and I didn't have time to get pictures. After coming back I got busy with work and the 2015 favorites. Here is the January box and I am excited to show you guys this one. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel-  It is formulated to resurrect radiance and to diminish the appearance of 3 common signs of aging. I heard great things about this skin care product so we shall see how it works. Tocca Beauty-Isabel-  I feel like I have gotten this sample perfume before in either Birchbox or in a Sephora order. I do love this scent, but I have enough samples so please stop sending me samples.  Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight-  It is an oil-free cream highlighting stick. I love using cream highlight before applying my powder highlight so it can last longer on my skin. I love Clinique and I can't wait to...

Glossybox January 2016

Hey guys!!!! Time for my favorite subscription box GLOSSYBOX! They showed me some love last month on Twitter when they saw my post. It was real exciting!  -417 Foot Nourishing Cream-  It is packed with water from the Dead Sea and aloe vera leaf juice. It helps with discomfort and dry skin and leaves your skin smooth. I have never had a cream specifically for feet so I am excited to try this out.  Royal Apothic Cream Creme To Go-  It is formulated with milk proteins and lactic acid. This moisturizer exfoliates and moisturizes your skin for a fresher, younger looking skin. It smells really good and I can't wait to get it all over my body. Beautiful Nutrition Lemon Rinse Gentle Clarifying Treatment-  This product helps your hair have a good clarifying rinse from all the product buildup that is in your hair. You need to do this once a week and surprisingly you use this after you shampoo and condition your hair. I am intrigued to try this. ...

January 2016 Birchbox Unboxing

Hey guys!!! It is that time again to show you guys what I got in my subscription boxes and then after that I will get back into reviews and stuff. I even want to do a tag so we shall see. For now I will show you what I got in my Birchbox this month.  They send stickers so you can choose which one you want to represent your 2016. Key West Aloe Gentle Facial Cleanser-  Made with 30% aloe vera and it cleans, calms, and rebalances the skin. I am not sure if I will try this out just because I am going to the dermatologist soon so I will be giving this away.  Ciate London Mini Paint Pot- Mineral Clarity-  I am excited to try this polish out. It is shimmer in it and I love the shade. It looks blue with many different colored shimmers. We shall see how if performs when applied. TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tiny-Red-  A lightweight, super pigmented lip stain that dries quickly for a sheer matte finish that lasts all day. I have heard great things ab...

2015 Beauty Favorites: Lips

Hey guys!! Finally it is time for my last Beauty Favorites of 2015. I have done face and eye favorites already and now it is time for lips. This one was kinda tricky, but I finally got it narrowed down to a reasonable amount. NYX Butter Gloss-  I love the formula of these butter glosses. These have a subtle hint of color and doesn't dry out my lips. It is not too sticky and it smells good. The one I have on the picture is the color Sugar Cookie and I been loving it a lot recently. Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain-  My HOLY GRAIL liquid lipsticks!! These don't dry out my lips at all and when I eat I do reapply, but it doesn't crumble afterwards It layers very well, lasts all day, and it is a moussy consistency. I actually only spoke to you guys about 1 shade, but I have now more shades and I plan on getting most of the collection. I will do an update post so I can show you swatches. The shade I am showing here is 13 Marvelous Mauve. Bellapierre Cosmetics ...

2015 Beauty Favorites: Eyes

Hey guys!!! A few days ago I told you guys about my  2015 Face Favorites  and now it is time for my eyes. Honestly, I don't have a favorite eye liner for my waterline this year nothing wowed me enough to add to this list.  Milani Eye Primer-  This is one of the best eyeshadow primers from the drugstore. I have oily eyelids and this makes my eye makeup last all day. It is tacky when first applied, but I always set it with a powder so the products will blend easier.  Colourpop Eyeshadows-  I LOVE ALL COLOURPOP EYESHADOWS THAT I OWN! I have the Shaaanxo and Kathleen Lights collection and random single ones and I have nothing bad to say. I only showing you the one I use every single day and it is part of the Kathleen Lights collection. It is the shade Glow. It is the perfect matte brow bone highlight.  Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow-  I love these eyeshadows so much, but the one I use almost everyday is the shade Bella Ivory....

2015 Beauty Favorites: Face

Hey guys!!! Finally I am getting to writing about my 2015 yearly favorites. I decided that I will split it up this time around because last year my post was so long! I feel like no one read it because of that so I have split it up into Face, Eyes, and Lips. Today will be all about the FACE!  I didn't find any amazing primers this year that really stood out to me so hopefully in 2016 I can find one. Now on to the rest of the face products. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation-  This is one of two holy grail foundations. I love using this especially during the winter time. My skin tends to get dry in some areas and this is great for keeping my face hydrated because of the coconut water that is in the foundation. I am out of this now and I am missing it so much.. L'OREAL Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation-  Now for the summer I am in love with this foundation. Granted I still get oily, but it keeps me matte for a good part of the day. Once I blot it is good to...

Project Pan Update #1

Hey guys!!! This is my first official post for 2016 that I am writting this year. My previous posts have been scheduled because I was out of town. It took me two days to write them all out. I hope you guys had a great Christmas and New Years. I certainly did. I decided to start off the year with the Project Pan update. I am excited to show you the progress I have made with the products I decided to use up. I will continue to show you guys more and more updates as the weeks go on. If I end up using up products I will keep adding more each time. Now here is my progress: I am excited to say that I have used up two products from this pile. I used up the Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Rhubarb and the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder .  I love the Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencils because they are pigmented, lasts a good while on the lips, and is moisturizing. The shade Rhubarb was my go to lip color when I wasn't sure what lip color I wante...

January 2016 Empties Part 1

Hey guys!!! Time  to talk about some products that I have used up once again! Also once again I wait too long and I have collected a lot of products so I will separate it into two parts. I will show you what I used up and if I will repurchase or not and why? Batiste Dry Shampoo-  I decided to try a different kind of the Batiste Dry Shampoo to see if there is a difference. There honestly is no difference other than the fact the other one I have used is tinted and this one isn't. I still love my Batiste!  OAHU Bath & Body Works Body Lotion-  I had so many of these body lotions from the last clearance sale I believe that I decided to use them all up. I used up 3 bottles by this point actually I just didn't want to show them all. I do like the lotions, but it is not holy grail status. It is just I love smelling good. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Foaming Cream-  This is my everyday twice a day cleanser. So far this has been my favorite cleanser. I...
