Hey Babes!

My birthday is around the corner! 2 more days!!! WHOO HOOOOO!! I decided to spoil myself and pick up some more junk I do not need. Don't we all just buy stuff we want but realistically do not need more of! I hate catching myself doing that, but this time there's an exception... mah birfffdayyy!! :P

Here's what I managed to jumble together yesterday.

Victoria's Secret V-neck Favorite Tee in Deep Pink Victoria's Secret Signature Zip Hoodie in Wild Black Allure Mag (I am subscribed to them. It came in the mail) MAC Lipglass Viva Glam 2 OPI Nail Polish in I Eat Mainely Lobster OPI Nail Polish in Lucerne-Tainely Look Marvelous MAC Frost in Angel MAC Cremesheen in Creme Cup MAC Satin in Viva Glam II MAC Sheertone Blush in Peaches

Hey Babes!

Within the first week of every month I will be posting a favorites post for the previous month! I always find it helpful when I read other blogs and find out all the juicy gossip on what people are loving! I suppose you all will love it too!

Here are my July Favs!!

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Swatch

I have heard awesome reviews about this and I had to have it! After realizing there is no wrong way to use this product, I fell in love! How can you not? It's the perfect color to give you that bronze, sun kissed look! It is a mousse-like texture and very creamy! I have not had any breakouts from it! It blends perfectly! You can apply this after foundation or without foundation! A MUST BUY! USA Cost @ Macys is $48.00.

These two lip products are a match made in heaven! The Mac Satin Lipstick line is extraordinary! The lipstick just glides onto your lips and for me, always stays on so well! I haven't used a lipstick from them I didnt love! Siss is a nude color, satin finish and creamy. I am fair skinned so in the winter this may not look too good on me, but in the summer when I am tan it literally matches my skin tone and lip tone!

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Black

This mascara BLEW ME AWAY! I did a post a few months ago on how I was trying to find a dupe for DiorShow Mascara, and I had finally came across Benefit BadGal Lash! Okay.. so I went from paying $24.50, to $19.00, to $7.99 AND this infamous $7.99 product helps my lashes grow... when the other two expensive products DID NOT! UHM BEAT THAT GOOD DEAL! I absolutely LOVE this mascara because it is literally THE SAME BRUSH as DIORSHOW -& BADGAL LASH! I compared them all side by side and tested the bristles! YUP, same ones! They even fit inside eachothers tubes! We all know what makes the mascara is the brush, lets be real here. The product inside, yes, can vary and sometimes even dry out quicker. Although, with these three, they compare in all those categories, THE SAME! - As far as lashes growing... I have been using this product for about 4 months now and I have seen a significant growth in my lashes and even thickness. I always used to joke on my posts how I have 10 lashes on each eye... I literally have like 25 lashes on each eye now. haha ok, not literally because I dont count them, but I am saying they have almost tripled in amount! I wont stop using this product, and I hope you all start! Let me know how you love it!

Benefit Erase Paste in Medium

Hey Beauty Babes!


As some of you may know Sephora is having a 15% off sale, in store and online, for V.I.Bs!! So being that I absolutely loveeee that store, I had to take advantage! 


I have been eyeing the Beauty in a Box By TooFaced: Endless Summer & today I finally purchased it!

• MINI SIZED - 0.11 oz Shadow Insurance 
• FULL SIZED (I believe it's full sized, although it's a quad and it's a limited edition so I dont know if there are other sizes. It looks big to me) - 0.17 oz Eye Shadow Quad in Lovey Dovey (sable brown with gold micro-glitter), Honey Pot (warm gold shimmer), Heaven (matte ivory) and Neptune (turquoise shimmer)
• FULL SIZED - 0.33 oz Sun Bunny Bronzer (satin suntan/ rich satin bronze) 
• FULL SIZED - 0.12 oz Glamour Gloss in Plush (candied coral)
• FULL SIZED - 0.4 oz Lashgasm Mascara in Black 
• MINI SIZED - 1 oz Tanning Bed In A Tube 

Everything in this Beauty in a Box is awesome!

Glamour Gloss in Plush (candied coral)

This lip gloss is absolutely adorable! This Spring I have been infatuated with coral colors and this is just about perfect for me! I have not tried it on my lips just yet, but I know it will look great! Sephora.com states it's an "addictive, plumping, cooling sensation." Whatever it is, I can't wait to wear it all Spring/Summer long!

Sun Bunny Bronzer (satin suntan/rich satin bronze swirled together with my one finger)

I LOVE THIS BRONZER ALREADY!! I just swirled my finger in it and swiped it across my cheeks and fell in love! It's unrealistically light, and satin-y. I love that! Some bronzers are way powder-y and with my dry skin can really feel terrible on. NOT THIS ONE! This also has a light shimmer. It is not matte. A must have for a sun kissed look! 

Eyeshadow Quad (Top to Bottom: Neptune, Heaven, Love Dovey, Honey Pot) All are shimmery except Heaven.

These are extremely pigmented and satin-y also! I havent tried any of them on, yet, but I have already fallen in love and know they will look great!

Tanning Bed in a Tube

I have heard nothing but great things about this self-tanner. First and foremost, it smells amazing! Like coconut-y. Thats one thing I absolutely hate about self-tanners is that they can really smell awful, but this one does not and I am anxious to try it! This is what it looks like on my hand.

It's a tan color cream, that smells great as I already said! I have not tried it yet, but I will be doing a self-tanner review in the future and this will be on there! 

The Eyeshadow Insurance I did not photograph. I have used the EI before it's great! It has kept my eyeshadow on all day into night and even the next morning (in a situation where worked and then went out for some drinks with friends then slept with my makeup on.) If that doesnt say WORTH THE MONEY, I dont know what does! 

Hope you all like this Beauty in a Box as much as I do! If you purchase it, let me know what you think!! Or, if any of you own the products in this box, I'd LOVE to know what you think of them all!

XO!

Hi Dolls!

I just wanted to let you know (if you hadn't already noticed) I put up some pages at the top of my blog. I added some new photos, a blog roll, an inside look to who I am (under My Story), contact information, and soon to come my Wishlist. I have so much on my wishlist - I just havent really had the chance to write them all down.. it's coming soon!

This is a much needed announced E.L.F Haul. I purchased quite a few things from E.L.F about a month or so ago and then I decided I wanted to try out MORE things, so I just waited on blogging about them until I had everything together and I tested most of the things.

I had no idea that E.L.F had such awesome products until after reading quite a few blogs and checkin' out some Vlogs, had I decided to try it out for myself and see if its true! And it is! E.L.F rocks! They have some super inexpensive products that work fantabulously and I'm kinda sad I didnt hear about them sooner!

I'm not kidding when I say I practically bought the company out. I purchased so many things!

Warm Bronzer High Definition Powder Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I absolutely love the warm bronzer. It's got a super light sparkle to it, but nothing crazy. It's perfect for my skin tone even when I use self tanner. I havent used the HD Powder yet, but I have heard it compares to the MUFE HD Powder, and if that's the case then it's going to be perfect! The Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder is kinda dark for me right now. The blush in the pic (sorry about that) looks very pale, but it's very similar to Nars Orgasm. I'm not too crazy about the blush right now but I know in the Spring and Summer I'll definitely be putting it to use!

Eyeliner & Shadow Stick in Black and Smoke Defining Eye Brush Professional Eye Shadow Brush Professional Lip Defining Brush (2) Eye Shadow "C" Brushes Powder Brush

I haven't used the Eyeliner & Shadow Stick, but when I do I'll let you know how it turned out for me! The rest of the brushes are FAB! The 5 brushes in the center all work great! I was really hesitant. I typically use MAC brushes and I wasn't sure how these would compare, but they are really great. I use the Lip Defining Brush for my lip balms (so I dont have to use my fingers) and the bristles dont clump or fall out and it applies just the amount I want/need. I use the "C" brushes for cream eye shadows and I have had no problem with them! The last brush is one of my ultimate favorites! I heard so much good stuff about it, that I had to have it! It's a powder brush that can be used with liquid foundation too! I use it to apply my Bobby Brown Moisture Rich Foundation and it's applies it so flawlessly, I'm in love! I have the Sigma Flat Top Kabuki that I also use and they are veryyy similar. I will do a review on that in another post, but this brush is simply perfect! These are all simple and easy to clean and are really excellent quality.

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

I just swatched these colors for you quickly. I really havent worn any of these colors for more then 2 minutes. I can tell you that they are very pigmented. I absolutely loved the way they looked on me even with how I applied them. My favories are the last two: Mango Madness and Lilac. I will be painting my nails this week a new color and one of them will hit the top spot. I'll keep you updated!

Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Mellow Melon

Love this lip balm! Smells yummy and tastes yummy! If you have read my posts you know that I love to lick my gloss off. Haha So I always taste and comment on everything I put on my lips! It goes on smooth and like I said, tastes fab! It's a peachy color and just cute to throw on when you're on the go!

Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

I do not like the conditioning balm in Strawberry Cream. Yuck! It tastes miserable! It just reminds me of the times I accidentally get my hair conditioner in my mouth when I'm showering. (I know it sounds weird, but it happens. lol) It just has these super gross taste and it looks bad on my lips too! Bad buy! The gloss in Vixen, tastes fab and goes on cute too! Very pigmented gloss and does come up like an orange/red color. I love it! And the gloss in Clear was just for a quick pick me up if I'm on the go or if I am wearing a matte lipstick that needs some lovin'. It's super glossy and alittle sticky, but I dont mind that. I actually love glosses that way because I dont lick them off as quick! hahaha

Tinted Moisturizer in Honey Tinted Moisturizer in Apricot Beige Tone Correcting Concealer in Apricot Beige

I initially purchased the TM in Apricot Beige and it was just the perfect color of my face. I dont really mind if I am just trying to hide my rosacea, but I do want some color if I am leaving the house with just tinted moisturizer on so I purchased it in Honey. It gives me alittle more color without overdoing me. Its nothing special but it does the trick and I cant complain. I use a Sephora brand TM and their's is more pigmented and lasts longer, but c'mon this was a buck! I'm really not complaining. As you can see I havent opened the concealer. I use a MAC concealer presently and just havent had the opportunity to play around with this yet. I will eventually and keep you updated!
