DONT FORGET TO ENTER IN MY GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!


Hey Beauty Lovers!

Just wanted to do a quick post on the Makeup Room in my new house! I promised you all a while ago that I'd show you what I was going to do and here it is! It's my little getaway when I want to dazzle myself and bask in makeup!









So there you go lovelies! I worked really hard in making it as cozy and girlie as possible! I use this room every single day to get ready in. Everything on the black makeup vanity is my personal makeup. Everything in my closet is an organized mess, haha! It's my closet for "storage." Everything in the baby pink train case is for my clients. And everything on the white desk is for work. I incorporated my work desk in this room because I had extra space and it fit perfectly!

If you have any questions on what I have in here or would like to know where I purchased anything, let me know! 

If you'd like to see whats inside anything, let me know, and I'll do a post on it!

XO!

DONT FORGET TO ENTER IN MY GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!


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
I cant just leave the house and buy 1 thing, I have to leave the house and buy 700 things. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! I'm female, that's the problem!



Here's my take on everything! 

Creme Cup & Angel are almost identical.. seriously, the one bit of a difference is Angel is a bit more pigmented and gets darker as you apply whereas Creme Cup is sheer and not really buildable. Although, you can apply 1 coat of Angel and 2 coats of Creme Cup and get the same outcome. I dont get it? lol - Alot of MAC lipsticks are like this, very close in color and are dupeable! Revlon has a decent amount of lippies that duplicate MAC's for half the price! I do love them both and have every intension on keeping them even though they're twin sisters. haha

Viva Glam II, I love it! I have loved it for a while, but for a long time I wasnt in a nude lip kinda mood, so I never purchased it. I dont like buying things I wont use.. it's a waste of space kinda thing that I am not into. Anywho, as you know all summer I have been all over nudes like white on rice so I just figured why not scoop this one up and manipulate it into Fall. Yes, PLEASE! I love the fact that part of the proceeds go to the AIDS FOUNDATION and I'm all about giving. 

Viva Glam 2 lipglass... smack me silly and call me inlove! Yet, again! I hate when I love something because then I ware it out. Blah.. well this is one lipgloss I will be taking with me everywhere! It's smooth, and soft, not sticky and gooey, and the color is just perfect! As you can see I gooped it on my hand to show you it's color, but it blends into my lips all too well! I actually even wore it over Angel today and it looked fabulous! Go Team Viva Glam!!!

Peaches, Peaches Peaches... The word Peach reminds me of my Uncle Ed's best friend who's nickname happened to be Peach lol I was like 7 and super inlove with this guy who was clearly much older then me.. He was probably 25 at the time! Now the situation wouldnt be so bad, but then... not so much! haha Anyways, MAC PEACHES is such a lovely color! I spotted it on HER DOLL FACE's blog the other day when I was looking at some of her older posts and I couldnt help but purchase it! It just looked like a color that would look fab on me! -& while tooting my own horn right now... it does! It's a perfect peachy color, as you see swatched it's very true to its name. I will be using it for the end of summer and Fall and I just cant wait!

OPI's Nail Polishes were quick pick me ups for my birthday nails - I was going to grab My Address Is Hollywood, but I was scared it wouldnt look good on me. Jenn from imperfection-isbeauty.com grabbed it in her haul the other day and I was so anxious to try it. After I checked it out, it just didnt seem like I'd like it on my nails. I opted for I EAT MAINELY LOBSTER instead because it was brighter and goes with my birthday dress for Saturday. Picking up Lucerne-Tainely Look Marvelous was out of the blue.. I just saw it and liked it and grabbed it. I didnt think it through or analyze like I typically do. To my surprise, I like it alot and plan to wear it after my birthday!

Have you guys shopped for any good stuff recently? Maybe I should stop, I am going to go broke one day I swear!

XO!

Hi Lovelies!

Just going to give ya some insight on what my daily face routine looks like. This is just going to be what I apply on my face, does not include eye makeup, or lippy stuff! It's a handful alone what goes on my face, let alone everything else! Haha!

  • Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel
  • Ponds Dry Skin Cream
  • Bobbie Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Natural 4.5
  • Laura Mercier Foundation Primer
  • Benefit Erase Paste in Medium
  • E.L.F Blush in Peachy Keen
  • Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Tan
  • MAC Blush in Dollymix
  • MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium Dark
Told you it was a handful! Haha

I absolutely adore all of these products and they are my GO-TOs each and every day I put makeup on my face! I have been using them for quite some time now and have never once gotten a break out, or had a problems with any of them! They are all extremely long lasting and give you the dewey finish I strive for!

The order in which I put these on are:

  1. Moisturize
  2. LM Foundation Primer (all over face) this primer is very moisturizing - GREAT for my dry skin
  3. Erase Paste (under eyes) it is a peachy color that reduces the minor dark circles I have under my eyes - remember dark circles are covered with peachy/red concealors & redness  is covered with greenish concealors and blend blend blend!
  4. Glamoflauge Concealor (under my eyes over the Erase Paste, on my eyelids, and in areas I feel I need more coverage - typically my cheeks because I have slight redness and considering this concealor is "heavy duty" it really covers me up!
  5. Bobbi Brown Foundation (all over my face including my eyelids and past my jaw line) blend blend blend is the key! I use the ELF FLAT TOP Foundation Brush to apply this!
  6. Soleil Tan De Chanel (all over cheekbone, temples, and forehead line) I do this to contour my face and reduce larger areas of my face that I want to "hide" - contouring is a major part to adding dimension and angles to your face that you dont normally have without makeup!
  7. MAC MSF Powder (all over face) - remember whenever you apply something wet to your face, you must seal it with something dry! Using a big puffy brush to apply this is perfect!
  8. E.L.F Blush (on cheek bone) I apply this first because it has alittle highlight color to it. It's just perfect for what I need everyday. I apply it as a base before I add my MAC Blush.
  9. MAC Blush (on cheek bone) I apply this right on my cheekbone over the E.L.F Blush. It gives it a more pigmented look after 1 brush stroke and I love that!
& wah-lah!

If you are looking for swatches or in depth details regarding these products, please go to my LABELS section and click on what applies. I have posted related information prior to this post! I do believe the E.L.F Blush and Glamoflauge have not been reviewed or swatched, although the others are.

If you have any questions at all, please, please, ask!

XO!
