Hi DollFaces!
Nars' Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Via Veneto versus Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion.... you first... which one do you love?
Okay, I'll go first! Hands down UD's Perversion!
Nars' Via Veneto does not show up BLACK - even after swiping it across my eyes several times. It's a funny color.. in between black and a dark gray. It runs... weird considering when I put it on my hand and wait a few seconds and then rub it, it doesnt budge, AT ALL. But on my waterline, tightline and even upper lashline... 3-4 hours into wearing it, it's all over the place! I CANT STAND THAT! OY!

Hi Beauty Babes!
I am going to just cut right to the chase... this shit is bomb! Excuse my French, but lets be real here - if you havent tried it (and you have dry skin) GET ON THE BANDWAGON!
I purchased this on a whim about 2 weeks ago... I had extra bucks at CVS and I said AHHH WHAT THE HECK! I use the Medium/Deep color as I am an NC30 skin tone. I would be alittle too dark for the Light one they have, and I am alittle light for this one, but it blends so well you can not even tell!
I have dry skin, if you know anything about me, it's that... dry skin, dry scalp, dry lips, dry EVERYTHING! Okay, you get the point... so having decided to try this has made such a difference in my skin... I cant even stand the fact that it works.. lol like you know when you hear all the hype about something and then you hear mixed reviews it starts to make you think that it's not going to work for you so why even try.. right? I am Skeptical Sally alot of the time and Over-analytical Olly as well.. so I really didnt think this was going to work or I was even going to like it. I have made this a part of my every day routine and if that doesnt mean something, then maybe what I have to say wont convert you.

Hi Dolls!
Totally need to rave right now...
I received my Hana Pro Flat Iron a week a half ago, and I. AM. IN. LOVE. I have crazy hair. You will see below how crazy it really is! I just recently cut it (which I will show pictures of and talk more about in my next post). But before I cut it, it was long and super knotty, and dry. It sucked! I had no choice to go this short due to how damaged it actually was. I have been "blonde" or highlighted hardcore "blonde" since 2009. I get my hair bleached every few months and lets just say I am lucky I still have hair. lol
Before I ever dyed my hair it was sooo gorgeous, soft, long, and dark. Super pretty, but also, SUPER boring. I dont regret ever adding the blonde to my hair because I love it and so does my family and friends. So, I am not complaining, but rather explaining my situation.. lol
Anyways, I have been using my Flat Iron on my crazy hair, and it has made it feel so amazing, I play with it non stop! It's soooooo soft, and feels so healthy. Can a hair straightener actually do that? My Hana Pro does!
See for yourself! (totally embarrassed of my birds nest hair - lol)

What I also use is the Hana Shine Shield heat protectant and hair treatment. I use this before I blow dry and straighten my hair. It makes my hair smell amazing, and feel like silk. It's awesome!
If this Flat Iron can straighten that crazy birds nest you see photographed above, then you know it's a good product! I love how easy it is to use, and how you can control the heat settings - it also heats up super quickkkk! The heat proof mat that comes with it is so essential! I never owned one before and I am so so happy I have one now! It also came with a heat proof pouch which is great for traveling!
If there's a Flat Iron you need to have, it's this one! Check out these other products on their site as well! The first link is to the one I own!
If you have any questions on this badboy, ask away!!
Note: This product was sent to me for reviewing purposes. That in no way shape or form has had an effect on my personal opinion. As I have stated before, I review products for you and your reference and they are always my honest opinion!

Hey Dolls!
My name is LC and I am a blushaholic! No, seriously.
This post is dedicated to my girl Nora over at Botoxey.
I have like a zillion blushers and I DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, leave the house without wearing it! As a child I was not allowed to wear makeup, or even play with makeup. My family was quite strict about it and it sucked! All my friends had lip glosses, and cute purses to carry all their "makeup" in and well I had nothing!! BOOOOO! :: thumbs down :: haha! The one thing that I would do religiously is smack my cheeks really hard so it would give me a blushed look. Sounds nuts right? Back then, I totally thought it was a genius idea! After a while, my cheeks stopped hurting from doing it so much! hahaha I sound like such a freak right now!
Anywho... I swatched a few of my MAC Blushes - I absolutely LOVE these! I just purchased two of them in the bunch and I am already in love! The 2 new ones are Equilibrium and Gingerly.

The photos really speak for the blushes as far the color is concerned. Very spot on.
GINGERLY
is a darker peachy color. It has a pinkish brownish undertone when comparing it to Peaches. If you are fair skinned, dont be afraid.. you can totally rock this as a contour or apply it lightly to your cheeks to give them definition. I am an NC30 and I am not too light, but nor am I dark/too dark. I am directly in the middle. This works well with my skin tone and I do love the versatility of it.
DOLLYMIX
is your typical rosey cheek color. I have been using this blush for yearrrrrrrssss. I have not one thing bad to say about it. I love it because clearly I love rosey cheeks, but also because it works great year round for me. You can apply it lightly for a subtle blushed look or really smack it on for the evening or night out on the town blushed look. It also has a sparkly shimmer tint to it. It's not matte at all.
PEACHES
totally lives up to its name. It's a very peach pigmented blush. It was perfect for this summer as peaches/corals were totally in, and it will be perfect for this fall/winter. There isnt much versatility with this color though. It applies PEACH and remains PEACH. There isnt really a way to apply it lightly as it's very pigmented. I suppose you can just dab alittle and blend for a super super subtle look, but I cant promise it will look as good. You can look as though you arent wearing anything at all. Regardless, I LOVE this blush and do recommend for any skin tone!
PINK SWOON
is a baby pink frosty color. It can be applied sheer or built up to it's max baby pink color. I loved this blush for most of this year since I purchased it. Before my Peaches madness this was my go-to. It's a playful sassy color. Absolutely perfect for all skin tones!
EQUILIBRIUM
I just purchased this a few days ago. I havent had the opportunity to wear it out.. only in my home when I was testing it out - thus far, it's an awesome color to be worn alone or with a pink/coral over it. The best way for me to describe it is, it's a naked blush. Gives your cheeks definition and character when worn alone. If you top it off with a pink or coral color it will give the colored blush a pop and make your cheeks stand out. For the fair skinned, I think you'd love it!
Hope this helped some of you or all of you in your search for some new blushers!

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!!
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!
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!

| Top: Mac Satin Lipstick Siss Bottom: Revlon Lip Gloss in Pink Pop |
Revlon's Lip Gloss is not sticky and does not taste bad! If you have read my previous posts you know I hate bad tasting lip products! YUCK! But not this one! It doesnt taste like anything (which is a PLUS+!) and it's long lasting! I am a lip product licker-offer.. lol if that makes any sense! These two take me a while to lick off, and I absolutely LOVE that!

ELF COSMETICS FLAT TOP POWDER BRUSH
I LOVE THIS BRUSH! I USE IT FOR EVERYTHING!! I own several of them which I put to use for quite a few things! First, it's called a "POWDER BRUSH" but it can be used with wet products. I apply my foundation with this! It's dense, and soft, does not acquire alot of product AND DOES NOT SHED! Having been given all that information on how great this brush is... let's top it off with IT ONLY COSTS $3!! American dollars that is! I am not sure the cost in other countries, but it can not be much more then $3 bucks!! It's a brush from their Studio Line. Great line of cosmetics and brushes! You just cant go wrong! This brush can be used to apply foundation, blush, bronzer, and any other way you'd like with wet or dry products! Go buy it, I promise you wont regret it!
SEPHORA BRAND PROFESSIONAL BLUSH BRUSH
Another Fav! I use this for my blush and contouring. It's a synthetic angled brush that really applies my products evenly! It really doesnt grab too much product on it at once so it helps when applying your blush so you dont overdo it. You can really have control over the amount you wish to apply! It's costly at about $32.00- But it's worth the money!! I used the Mac 129 Brush for a long long time! It would shed and would sometimes be very unforgiving. Now that's stashed away for other uses, while my Sephora brush is used and abused!

| Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Black |
 |
| Benefit Erase Paste in Medium |
This is a concealer made by Benefit Cosmetics. It is a peachy color. I use this under my eyes because any orangey, peachy color will assist in covering dark eye circles. I do not have dark dark circles, although I have alittle, so this peachy under eye concealer really covers it! I mean, covers it to the point that I even look in the mirror after I apply it and cant believe the cover! They only have 3 color shades. I have the middle color in Medium. I recommend this for anyone looking for that perfect under eye coverup! You dont need to use this with any thing on top either! Just seal it with some powder and you're ready to go!
There you have it lovers! If you have any questions you know how to find me!!

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!

I have been eyeing the Beauty in a Box By TooFaced: Endless Summer & today I finally purchased it!
How adorable and appealing does all of this look?! It just looks like a box of chocolates I cant wait to EATT!!!! (I LOVE CHOCOLATE!)
What this contains:
- 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!

Hey Beauty Babes!
I'm not one to change the color of my nails, ever! I just recently started to get out of my shell and typical routines with makeup and try different things. Why now? Well because I am near 25 and I feel that I have sheltered myself to the typical, the comfortable, the "normal". When I was younger, I was alot more out-going and open, but as the years passed and as I grew older, I started to keep to myself. Which brings me to here and now... I am just a quiet, simple, plain girl. I really want my old self again. Blogging has really helped me figure it out and I am so happy that I have started my journey and I have all of you to come along!
Sooo, now that I have drowned you with my journey, haha, I'd like to show you my nails!
I purchased, from Forever 21, Love & Beauty nail polish in the color Coral. How cute is it? As I mentioned I never change the color of my nails, they were always a color pink of some sort either with French or not. See just Plain Jane. But I purchased this on a whim and forced myself to try it!

| Love & Beauty: Coral |
I love it! It went on super smooth, and think in color. One coat is enough, but I put two just to really solidify the color. I also put a top coat to add some shine. Top Coat is from Jordana.
Even though changing my nail color is super new and I was hesitant to do it, I willllllll be doing it again, and more then likely with another Love & Beauty nail polish! It cost me $2.80. Super cheap and really really really good quality. My favorite nail polish and color is from Essie called Sugar Daddy, and this nail polish is sitting right next to Sugar Daddy in the number one spot!
Are there any colors you think I should try from either Love & Beauty or another nail polish company? I'd love to have some help in buying more! I'm such a virgin!

Hey Dolls!
I have been using a Pond's Moisturizer for several years. I have really dry skin and it has really done the trick of helping keep my face moisturized throughout the day and night. Although, because they say some products eventually stop working as effectively if you use them for long periods of time, I decided to try a new moisturizer!
I picked up: Olay Complete: All day UV moisturizer with Vitamin E and Aloe for sensitive skin. I have Keratosis Pilaris (click on Keratosis Pilaris for additional info), so anything for sensitive skin, COUNT ME IN!
I have been using Olay for the past week and I don't like it at all!
It claims to:

It claims to:
Give your skin essential Olay moisture, UV protection and Vitamin E for a lifetime of beautiful skin.
- All day moisture for lasting hydration.
- Broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 sunscreen specifically designed for daily incidental sun exposure.
- Gentle formula with zinc oxide, antioxidant, Vitamin E and Aloe to promote skin's healthy appearance.
- Light, non-greasy formula for a barely-there feel.
Okay, so whats what it claims to do and it hasn't done anything for me, but make me feel like I didn't even moisturize. It didn't help my dryness, it added to it. After I would use the product, I'd proceed to put on my makeup and my make-up just felt pasted to my face, my face felt tough and bare, and flakey.
I was really disappointed in this because I've heard nothing but great things about Olay (my father swears by it) and it didn't do anything for me! I will not be repurchasing this product!
I'm back to using Pond's. I love ittt and probably wont stop using it!
Do you use any Olay moisturizers? How do they work for you?

Hey Beauty Babes!
Not too long ago I told you about the 88 Matte Palette that I purchased from BH Cosmetics. I just want to let you know I was not given this product from the company as a gift or for reviewing purposes. I purchased this product from my own personal money and have decided to do a review on it.

| 88 Matte Palette from BH Cosmetics (photo is with flash) |
This is the palette and it's pretty awesome. The palette is called 88 Matte Palette, which means they are not shimmery. Although, there a quite a few colors in this palette that are shimmery. It has pretty much any color you are looking for which makes the buy so much more worth it. I purchased it for $18.95 with a 15% off coupon code. I paid pretty much nothing for it and I've put it to good use.
I swatched a few random colors for you to get an idea of what I'm talking about. They are very pigmented, which in a way prolongs the usage of the palette because alittle goes a long way!
These eye shadows last all day longggg. Even through naps! I have been using this palette for about a week and a half and I'm really enjoying it! It was such an inexpensive buy for a ton of product that is going to last me, I know it!
I also want you to know... a company by the name of Coastal Scents also distributes this palette. What I have learned is a company has produced these eye shadows and sold them to other companies who put their name on it and sell it. They are the same product just with different companies' names on it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
XO!
