You know what I always wonder, how much more money do we pay for these added features that they put on some products. I purchased my first Milani baked blush in Corallina (almost $7, Walmart). What made me think about this is the fact that I also have a L’Oreal blush which came the same way. Personally I never use these little brushes they come with and I can’t remember if I’ve ever even used the mirror that comes with it. Does anyone know how much extra these hike the price up from manufacturing or do you prefer using its that have a mirror and applicator with it? As far as the color it is very pretty, the consistency is good but I don’t particularly like the fact that it looks like there is glitter or sparkle stuff in the blush. I haven’t worn it yet so I’m not sure…
Today we are looking at a polish by Hit in the Mari Moon Modern Set which is a green multi-chromatic polish. I purchased it through Ninja Polish [here] at $7.00. This was my first purchase through the website and once it was shipped it was quite fast. This polish brightened up this dark cold and gloomy day for me with its vivid fun color. I’m not sure about the longevity of the product since I just received it today but if anyone is interested I can let you know next week. Had I known I was going to like this polish so much I would have purchased one of the sets. There are also different shades and tones and the purple looked just as lovely! In the bottle it looks more blue then green but looks more green in these photos, perhaps its the roundness of the container since it is a…
The kit was $9.99, likewise the palette was $9.99! So last week my friend and I headed over to Marshalls. A little bird told me about TheBalm products being sold there (and by a little bird I mean Rianne). There wasn’t much there however near the checkout line I found a few more Items. I decided on the Blue Eye Kit and the Shady Lady Palette. The Blue Eye Kit came with two shady lady shadows. A green called “all about alex” and a brown called “racy kacy” (Racy Kacy is in the palette as well, can’t go wrong with a gorgeous brown though!), A overshadow in a gold-ish color called “No money, no honey”. The idea with the overshadows is to put over your regular shadow and give it an extra pop. I think that many of the eye shadow shades are pretty on the shimmery pearl side but…
So sorry for this being so late but I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do products of the month or not. I decided I’d give it a try. Let me know if you think I should do this monthly! 🙂 I’ll go from left to right! Yes to Carrot’s Body Butter. I love this for my dry skin. Very moisturizing and there really isn’t much of a smell to it. Purchased from Walmart Fresh’s Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment. I received this from Sephora, I love the moisture it gives however I will probably never repurchase as it is over $22 dollars. Fortune Cookie Soap in Baker’s Dozen. By far my FAVORITE sweet smell from FCS and this is on top of my love of lemon scents. I can’t make myself use it until I purchase a new one lol. Milani’s Liquif’Eye metallic eye liner pencil in 01 Black. My preferred black eye liner!…
So this is my first Face of the Day please let me know if you think I should continue these or not! This is a day of many firsts, I actually took this picture yesterday and it was the first time I ever tried false eye lashes, I have a few different types but I finally took the plunge, not sure if dramatic lashes are easier to apply or not but that’s what I decided to use. My mother told me I should wear them today so I wore them again lol I had some lady staring at me thinking my lashes were really that long HAHA, it made me laugh because my lashes are red and you can barely see them normally so for someone to think I’d have such lovely lashes was beyond me. I was kinda going for a toned down Victorian… french… something or other style. (Remember…
While I know this is quite similar to my Travel bag because lets face it, I only carry about 2 products in my purse on regular. (Lipstick/Gloss and eye liner) we’ll call this an updated one. I decided I would do the Blog Hop via BlogLoveTherapy. You should check out the hop. 😉 Anyway in general I am a over-packer and this stuff is just for one night. (Imagine if I was gone for a week!) The bag it’s self is from IKEA (UPPTÄCKA Toiletries bag) costs just around $6.00. It comes in 5 colors, I just so happened to like the off-white color the best. (I’ve been on a cream/white-ish kick for going on a year!) I love this bag because the mouth of the bag opens so wide it is so easy to find what i’m looking for in the bag. This bag is much larger then my usual travel bag…
I decided I’d redo my nails since they were chipping away and breaking sadly. I can always tell when I’ve had an overworked week when my nails are mostly broken by the end of it! SAD FACE Anywho I decided to use my Revlon nail polish in whimsical. I also used Sally Hansen’s hard as nails xtreme wear in white on under Whimsical. On both of my ring fingers I used China Glaze’s Dress Me Up. Two coats of everything! Whimsical gives the white on color a more softer look and it looks delicate and lovely. I picked it for Easter because I had someone tell me last month or so at school that it reminded them of Easter eggs. lol Adorable!!!! Ria from Ria Loves Pawlish actually did a review on the nail polish back in February which is where I saw it at (I can’t recall where I saw it before then)…
I ordered from makeupmania.com recently and I feel like not even two days later this stuff was at my door. CRAZY fast shipping. Which also makes me excited with the website because I am totally up for doing business with them again. (Plus they carry a lot of Ben Nye stuff YES PLEASE!) I only ordered two shadows and a blush to see how they are as well as a cake eyeliner. The blusher is seriously pigmented! The pressed eyeshadow in just the pan is $2.50. Likewise with the pan only for the Blush. I suppose they are the same size because they are in the same size pan. Which makes sense. Though I’ve never had such a small pan for blush. I really like the feel of them but so far I’ve only used the color Bisque. It applies oddly on my lid, splotchy or something. I haven’t heard…
Weekly Nail: China Glaze’s Fast Track and riveting. Probably a more neutral look for me. Which isn’t often at least with my nails. I love the orange (riveting) however, I thought it would be too bright atm so I toned it down with the neutral color but it has some gold in it. My nails are so short I had to cut them I was having trouble typing lol. I am probably going to be stuck on these hunger games colors by china glaze for a while because there are so many ways to wear all 12. More videos and blog entries coming soon. Filmed today 🙂
So I got my products from Fortune Cookie Soap this morning. Their shipping is ridiculously fast anymore. They notified me that it had been shipped on Friday. It’s coming from Oklahoma to Philadelphia, PA. I’ve had longer shipping coming from my own city, not joking lol. The three items I purchased were Hunter Green Body Butter, Baker’s Dozen fortune cookie soap, and Yellow Polka Dot Bikini voted best! (by us) lotion. The Lotion smells just like the bath fizzy that I had, yum! 😀 The Hunter Green Body Butter had a very natural, earthy, forest smell to it but it reminds me of going to the lake with my family to visit my grandfather. It’s amazing how many of these scents trigger memories. They do such a great job of that. The consistency is similar to other body butters there is no difference there. Baker’s Dozen may have won my heart over the Yellow…
