May Favorites

I don't have many May Favorites, because I did tend to use a lot of different products.  I usually use several products consistently, but I really mixed it up this past month.  This list is mostly new things that I've just discovered or old things that I dragged back out when I was changing things up.


Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette
Maybelline EyeStudio Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black
Lush Lip Scrub in Bubblegum
NYX BB Cream
Nars Orgasm Lip Gloss

Cleaning My Collection

At the end of the year, I thought I would do myself a favor and clean out my makeup.  I haven't ever done this on such a big scale, so I have a lot of old makeup.


Yep.  I have A LOT that I needed to throw out.


Ten Beauty Pigment in Twinkle Twinkle Shimmer: never worn.  I'm not even sure where I got this/why I have it.
Maybelline Expertwear Eyeshadow in 30 Rose Tints:  This was my first makeup love, but I haven't worn it in at least a year (probably more).  It's quite old, and not up to my standards anymore.
Revlon Perle in 040 Brushed Copper:  I got this when I first found out copper-toned shadows make blue eyes pop.  It had tons of fall out, and was soon replaced by Urban Decay's Suburbia.
Lip Smackers in Coca Cola Cherry: This stuff was OLD and GROSS.
Rimmel Lasting Finish in 010 Ditzy: An old dance lipstick.  I used to wear bright pink, but I wear bright red now.
?? Green Apple Mint:  Another oldie.


Covergirl Wet Slicks in 350 Shimmershell: This stuff was just old.
Maybelline Full 'n Soft:  I don't even think they make this anymore, but I really loved it.
Maybelline Unstoppable in Espresso: I hated this stuff.  (Read more about that here.)
Covergirl Exact Eyelights in 710 Radiant Sapphire:  Why did anyone let me purchase blue eyeliner to wear on a daily basis in 6th grade?  This stuff didn't even work well.
Revlon Colorstay in Cocoa:  OK, if we're being honest here, the only drugstore eyeliner I truly love is the Rimmel Apocalypse.  Most of the other stuff, like this, don't even apply on the eye without RUBBING to the point of my eyes hurting.
Maybelline Unstoppable in Onyx: (Read more about this here.)
Maybelline Expert Wear in Velvet Black: (Read more about this here.)
Maybelline 015 Born With It: Again, just super old.
Maybelline Great Lash:  My mother loves this stuff, so she gave this to me when I started wearing makeup.  I haven't touched it in years.
Wet n Wild Natural Wear in 106:  This didn't suit me and was super old.
Covergilr 545 Persian Pink:  Another old dance lipstick.


Covergirl Trio:  I've lost the name of this.  I used to wear this all the time before I got the Naked palate
Covergirl Eye Enhancers:  I've lost the name of this, as well.  Don't worry--I never actually wore this out.  This was  part of my dance makeup, but I have a better blue that I use now.
Ten Beauty Pigment in White Frosting Shimmer:  Again, no idea why I have this.

Well, there's all my old makeup gone.  It actually feels really nice to have all that stuff that I hadn't used in ages out of my stuff.  I now have room for more makeup!

Product Review | Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

It's been a long time since I've done a review.  Too long.  A while ago, I went into Ulta for the first time ever.  It was a magical experience.  One of the products I picked up was the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 110.



I have been in love with this foundation ever since I first put it on!  It is full coverage, but it is not cakey in the least.  It is super pale, which is amazing.  No one ever makes foundations that are quite pale enough for me.  I have been wearing this without a primer to test it, and it has ticked all the boxes--and then some!  Because of my oily skin, I need a foundation that will stay matte.  This one does!  Unlike other foundations I usually use, this one has a dewy finish.  Uh oh.  Usually that means my face looks like one big greasy, shiny mess.  But this foundation (especially when paired with Rimmel Stay Matte powder) does not have that effect.  It's actually kind of nice to have a dewy finish for once.  I have to be careful to not apply too much, because I find that when I apply too much, it tends to get greasy.  It also tends to fill in creases (such as fine lines on the forehead, so I have to blend it out whilst applying.  This stays on all day and it doesn't slide off.  (It even made it through a gym session.)   Also, it's from the drug store, so it's quite cheap.  One thing I don't like about this foundation is that there's no pump dispenser and the bottle doesn't squeeze out.  This means that most of the time I end up pouring out too much foundation and wasting it.  Overall, I think that this foundation will be a staple for quite sometime.

Top 5 Nail Polish Colors for Winter

Well, my first ever blog post was "Top 5 Nail Polish Colors for Summer" (read that here).  Now, about 6 months later, I feel like I have grown so much as a blogger and makeup lover.  I decided to repeat that post, but chose shades that I love in the winter time.

L-R: OPI Russian Navy, OPI You Don't Know Jacques!, Nars Disco Inferno, Essie Vested Interest, Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear 370 Black Out
OPI Russian Navy:  This is an amazing navy color (who would've thunk it?!).  I really love blue, so this is my go-to winter blue.

OPI You Don't Know Jacques!:  This looks really brown, but it ends up being a taupe-y, neutral on the nails.  I love a good neutral every now and then.

Nars Disco Inferno:  I got this in my stocking and couldn't wait to put it on!  It is a shimmmery, silvery iridescent color.  This is what I have on my nails right now!  (Spoiler:  I'm writing this and scheduling if for later.)  I thought it would be a fun, festive nail polish for the New Year.

Essie Vested Interest:  Ever since my friend gave this to me for my birthday, I have been OBSESSED with this.  It is a burgundy color.  The deep red is so gorgeous.  Plus, Essie nail polishes are so well-formulated.

Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear 370 Black Out: Sometimes, you've just got to go with the classic black, right?  I grabbed this because at Halloween it was the cheapest black nail polish I could find.  I will definitely be purchasing more nail polishes from this line!  It stays on so well, and is very chip-resistant.

I hope you liked this post!  What is your favorite nail polish for the winter?

13 for '13

It's the end of the year!  I hope you had a wonderful 2013, and I hope your 2014 will be even better!  I've picked out my 13 favorite products that I purchased in 2013.  These have been staples in my makeup, and I have adored them this past year. So, in no particular order:  13 of my 2013 favorites!


Urban Decay Naked Flushed Bronzer: This stuff is amazing!  It actually works with my skin tone and blends really well.
Maybelline The Falsies Flared/The Falsies: At this point, you're probably sick of hearing me (and everyone else on the face of this planet) rave about this mascara.


Essie Mint Candy Apple:  This is my absolute most favorite nail polish ever ever ever.  It's also my favorite color.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder:  Keeps me shine free.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in 005 Nude: Also in my December favorites.
Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base:  This primer is amazing at keeping my eyeshadow where I want it to be.  It doesn't smudge or wiggle around at all!


MAC Paint Pot in Rubenesque: One of my good friends told me about this.  I use it mostly as a base for my eyeshadows, and it keeps them where I put them and adds a coppery/goldy undertone.  It is also amazing when you build it up and use it by itself.
EOS Raspberry Pomegranate: Raspberry and Pomegranate are two of my favorite fruits and scents.  So naturally, I love this EOS!
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner in Brown: This stuff works a trick.  I don't think I've gone a week without wearing it since I got it!


MAC Lipstick in Amplify:  You might notice that my two favorite lipsticks look similar.  I loved this one for fall/winter as it is a darker bright pink.  It's super creamy, and I always get complements on it.
Topshop Lipstick in Ooh La La:  This was my spring/summer lipstick staple.  (review)
MAC Eyeshadow in Woodwinked: One of MAC's most loved eyeshadows made it's way into my heart this year.
MAC Eyeshadow in Amber Lights: Another MAC crowd favorite.  I love these two coppery colors.  Because I have blue eyes, they suit me really well.

There it is!  Hopefully 2014 will bring me many new products to love!

December Favorites

Well, it's that time of the month again.  I have been RUBBISH at doing monthly favorites (don't worry-it's on my New Year's resolution list!), but I am actually sitting down, doing it now!



Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Flat Iron Perfecter Straightening Mist: I have thick, course, curly, crazy hair.  When I straighten it, it does not like to be sleek and smooth.  This spray actually makes it look like a shampoo commercial, which, of course, I love!  Also, it's a heat protectant, so it keeps my locks healthy and happy.
Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter: I got this as my birthday gift from Sephora, and it has quickly made itself my favorite highlighter.  I love the crayon-ish way it applies.  It is super easy to use, and delivers a beautiful, natural highlight.
Lancome Scarlet Blaze Lipstick: Everyone needs a bright red lipstick to wear to Christmas parties!  I've adored this because it is creamy and feels really nice on the lips.  It also stays on for a long time.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in 005 Nude: An eyeliner that stays on my waterline?  I thought such a product didn't exist!  I've tried eyeliner after eyeliner, and they all either slide off onto my skin or evaporate into my eyeball.  Gross!  This stuff works a treat, though.  It stays on all day and brightens up my eyes.
Loreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black: This is such an amazing product.  It is so easy to apply (and it's a liquid liner!), you can do a super-thin line or build it up, and it's great for drawing on your face (see what I mean about that here).  Unfortunately, it has a tendency to flake a bit.  If you pop it in your handbag, you can easily reapply it and fix the little baby flake-offs.  The flaking really isn't a big problem, but it's the only thing that keeps me from singing the miracles of this eyeliner from the mountaintops.

Let me know what your favorite products have been this December!

Christmas Haul

Santa was VERY good to me this year! I hope he brought y'all everything you wanted and more.  Here's all of the makeup I got both from friends and family (and Santa, too!).



My lovely friend got me a China Glaze nail polish in Mingle with Kringle.  I instantly fell in love because, well, it's gold and sparkly-what's not to love?!


I was quite surprised to find this gem in my stocking!  Nars' Disco Inferno is so gorgeous!  I have it on my nails now, and I am absolutely in love.

Oops-sorry for the sideways pic!
I got an EOS lip balm in Blueberry Acai.


This is an absolute GEM!  YSL Glossy Stain in Beige Aquarelle.  I have been adoring this because it is so neutral.  Recently, I've been buying and wearing bright lip shades, so it's nice to add to my collection of more neutral, softer lips.


Soap and Glory Sugar Crush soap is so nice. It smells heavenly (and I'm very picky about smells!).


Oh yes, this is it.  I have wanted this palate for a while now, and I'm in love with it.  Marc Jacobs Lolita palate is so beautiful.  I'm literally in awe.

Not Pictured:
another EOS
soap from Anthropologie

Also, the candle in the back ground is Leaves by Bath and Body Works, and it was a gift from a dear friend.

Let me know if you want reviews on any of these products or if you want me to do a jewelry/accessories Christmas haul.

Empties

Hello, lovelies! It's been a long, hard semester, and I haven't blogged near as much as I wish I had.  But, now I've got a new candle burning and Christmas music playing, so I thought I would finally post again!  A while ago, I started collecting the products that I had used up.  I have a bunch, so I decided to share them, and give you a mini-review of each one.


Dove Go Fresh Revive Body Wash in the Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena scent.  ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SOAP EVER.  This stuff is amazing.  It is super moisturizing (so much so, that I notice that my skin gets drier if I use a different soap).  It also has the best smell.  I wish everything in life came smelling like this soap-it would make a lot of things more pleasant.  Also, this soap is cheap and available at places like Target, so it's easy to get your hands on.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara.  This stuff works a trick.  It doesn't smudge or go everywhere.  It stays all day.  It makes it super easy to put mascara on those baby lashes that seem to get clumpy and gross whenever I use an actual big mascara.  I need to get my hands on another bottle of this pronto!

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara.  Yup.  Everyone's favorite.  I really don't think I need to say too much about this.

Brown Eyeliner.  It's so old that the brand/name/color name has rubbed off.  There is NOTHING on this to distinguish it.  It has a sponge on the bottom to blend the eyeliner, and if anyone knows what this eyeliner is, please tell me.  I'd love to re-purchase it.

Sephora Doe Eyed Eyeliner in Black.  I loved this for a while, but I've found better felt tipped eyeliners.  This stuff dries out super quickly.  I re-purchased it a few times, but I won't be spending more money on it when I've found a cheaper, better alternative.

2-in-1 Acne Wipes by AcneFree.  I use these every morning to wash my face. (I know I should use a wash cloth and soap and all that jazz, but I have my reasons.)  These wipes have Salicylic Acid in them, so they are pretty good for face wipes.

Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes. I used these before I found the AcneFree ones with Salicylic Acid.

Crest 3D White Toothpaste.  I love this stuff.  It works really well for me.

Biotera Dry Shampoo.  I wrote a review of this miracle product here.

AcneFree Oil-Free Acne Cleanser.  I used this in the shower on my face for a long time.  I have switched over to a gentle cleanser and a scrub that I alternate.  I like this because it had Benzoyl-Peroxide in, but it wasn't ever my favorite product.

Degree Expert Protection Motion Sense Deodorant in Fresh Energy scent.  Everyone's got to have a good deodorant.  This stuff stays on all day, and really keeps you smelling and looking fresh.


Thanks for reading, and Merry Christmas!

Halloween Makeup

Who doesn't like to break out the black lipstick and glitter eyeliner every once in a while?!  That's the reason I love Halloween--crazy makeup is completely acceptable! (Well, that and the candy...)  I went to a party this weekend, and I dressed up as a spider.  I wore all black, and drew a spiderweb on my face.  I got so many complements!
Here's a picture from the party!
Selfie I took after the party, so you can see the spiderweb effect.
Just a goofy selfie...
Happy Halloween!  I hope y'all had as much fun with your makeup as I did with mine!

Fantasy Makers (Wet n Wild) Glitter Eyeliner in 12525 Whimsical
Fantasy Makers (Wet n Wild) Lipstick in 12535 Black
Loreal Felt Tip Liner in 690 Carbon Black (I'm going to draw a web on my face!)

Product Review | Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer

Concealer in 125: Fair
So, I'm a bit shy when it comes to concealers.  I have one really nice one that I adore, and so I haven't really needed another one.  But, I heard so many great things about this concealer, so when my mom and I were getting new makeup, I decided to grab this.  I'm so glad I did!  I absolutely love the creamy formula.  It has really great coverage and blends super easily.  I love how it is highlighting as well as concealing.  I don't use this on blemishes, because of that, though.  The only complaint I have is the applicator.  It is a brush that you squeeze the bottle and it comes out.  I find that I often get more concealer than I want, so I have to really blend it out, and it gets annoying.  Also, if I try to not squeeze too hard, then I don't get enough product.  Aside from this, I adore this concealer, and would absolutely recommend it!

Mini Haul | Mac

Hello, lovlies!  A while ago, I popped into Mac.  I didn't want to spend a whole lot, so I only got a couple items, but I'm very excited about these items, so I thought I'd do a "Mini Haul".


I got the Cremesheen Lipstick in Amplified and two eyeshadows: Woodwinked and Amber Lights (as well as a quad to put them in).  I can't wait to fill up the other two spaces on my quad!

Here's some swatches

Top to Bottom: Amplified, Amber Lights, Woodwinked

Drugstore Haul | Theatre Edition

Hello, lovlies!  I'm so so sorry that I have neglected to post anything for quite some time, but I started rehearsals for the musical I'm in and then started school, so I've been quite busy!  I promise I'll post more now-it just took some time to get into the routine of a busier life.

As I mentioned before, I'm in a musical!  I'm in Anything Goes, and it's been so much fun!  We perform this weekend, which is so exciting.  I needed to grab some makeup to wear on stage.  Also, I grabbed a few products that I've been eyeing for a while or just had on my shopping list.

Hair and Skin:
Conair Bobby Pins: A girl can never have too many bobby pins.  Also, these came with a convenient travel case.  Plus, they were having a "buy one, get one free" on Conair hair products!
Studio 35 Beauty Small Poly Bands:  I've been needing tiny, clear hair elastics for a while, and these were on sale, so I picked them up.
Almay Oil Free Makeup Remover Pads: My all-time favorite makeup remover that I was running out of.  'Nuff said.
Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes:  These are great for school mornings.  Just sweep and go.
Conair Foam Rollers:  Oh yes, guess who gets to wear these bad boys in her hair all day at school so she can have curly hair for the show?
Batise Dry Shampoo:  This is my all-time favorite dry shampoo, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere, so I was so happy to see it!  It was a 2 for 1, so I grabbed both the Original and Blush scents.


Makeup:
Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in 125 Fair: I've heard marvelous things about this concealer, so I decided to give it a try!
Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Concealer in 805 Ivory: I need an opaque base for the stage, and I had almost used up my old stage foundation.  This one seemed to be my best option for a full-coverage foundation, so I decided to go with it.
Andrea 45 Lashes:  I need fake eyelashes for the show, and these looked like they were dramatic without being too much.
Studio 35 Beauty Angled Eyeliner and Shading Brush: I needed an angled brush for my eyebrows (which I've made a goal to be better about-hence the angled brush and clear mascara you'll see later!), and this was the only one they had.  It also has a small shading brush, which I might use for inner eye highlighting.  I wanted to hold out for a Mac 266, but my birthday's not for another month.
Neutrogena Shine Control Primer: This is a new product, and it looks great.  It claims to have a matte finish, which I always need.  Also, I'm ashamed to admit-I've never used a face primer before, so we'll see how this goes.
Rimmel London Exaggerate Undercover Eyeshadow Primer: Another new product.  My Urban Decay primer is running out, so I thought I'd give this cheaper alternative a go.  Hopefully, I'll love it just as much!
Covergirl Professional Mascara in 800 Clear:  Like I said before, I'm trying to be better with my brows.  I got this to set them.

I got a ton of new products that I'm so excited to use!  Hopefully, I can review some soon.  Let me know if you use any of these products or want me to review a specific one!
