Mini Forever 21 Haul

So I did I bit of quick shopping in forever 21. I spent around 40 dollars and got 6 items which I thought was a really good deal!

I got 3 bracelets with the same design. It's hard for me to find bracelets I really like in forever 21 but these I LOVED, I just had to get them all. They retail for $2.80 and they're basically just double banded pearls with a gold letters saying love, dream, and hope. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM

I got this pencil skirt with white cross detailing for $13.80 which is a really good price. It's good for a casual look and also a nice formal look for a night out. 

This cardigan was only $8.80 which got me really excited! It's in a nice deep maroon/purple color and I got it in size medium (I like to wear them loose fitted)

This is the same type of cardigan but in a nice cream/off-white color, this is in size large.

My Current Beauty Must Haves

I apply this under my eyes and on my lips every night and it makes my lips feel so good the next morning and my under eyes look much more healthy and plump.

I am honestly addicted to this scent. It has a light mixture of a floral, fruity scent. It is very very light, much like a body mist but much more long lasting. Plus, it was only 6 bucks at Ross!

Now I don't have a favorite brand, but I am IN LOVE with lip stains now. I can't leave the house without them this fall. It's just love love love. I don't have any eye makeup but some liner, and this dramatic pop of color gives a ice fall, edgy, modern pin up look. 

Cutest Perfume Gift Ever!

I went to sephora today and saw this 4 piece DKNY Be Delicious set, and I fell in love with it! It comes with 2 original Be Delicious scents and 2 of the Fresh Blossom scent. Now the picture may be deceiving because it looks quite big in the picture, BUT they're are actually pretty small which is good to me! I'm a sucker for small cute, easy to carry packaging. On top of that, I'm going to put them in Christmas baskets for my friends, so it's a good idea for a christmas gift. It retails for $38.00 so check it out!

Did some shopping on e.l.f a few weeks back and took a picture of some of the products. All of these products mentioned have such surprisingly good quality. They're cheap and I definitely recommend them!

Benefit Cravings

(sephora)

So I recently purchased a set from Benefit called "Her name was Gloria" & it included a mini sized lip gloss, & I FELL IN LOVE with it. Luckily, Benefit just came out with this set of 6 different shades of their lipgloss for $26. I really really want to get it, but I was planning on doing a project 10 pan soon. What to do, what to do. Sometimes, I dislike my makeup obsession. 

Sad, Sad Day

(costalliving)

Today, I realized that I've lost my Rosebud Salve. & I realized how much I love that product because I don't remember being so sad about losing something until today haha. :[ If you've never tried this product, go out and get one! It's 6 bucks and you can get them at Sephora. Just don't be a donkey and loose yours like how I did... :[

Reunited with my Matte Powder

I've decided to put my MAC msf aside and use some drugstore products that I haven't been giving much attention to in my makeup collection. I've been using my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder again, and I admit...with this ridiculous hot weather, this is keeping my face matte much MUCH longer than my msf & on top of that, it gives a really nice finish on my face. Maybelline Dream Matte Powder...I am sorry for forgetting about you, you're truly amazing!

My Sephora Wish List

So I've been looking at the Sephora site and found 2 specific products that I'm going to save up for because I feel an extreme need to get them! 

It was a must to share them with you all

This is the 24/7 jackpot Urban Decay eyeliner set

omg it is so amazing, all of those colors are so great for fall!

they retail for $39

I want want want want WANT!

This products is from Benefit and it's called Some Beauty to Love and this retails for $29. HOW AFFORDABLE IS THAT?! Look at all of the products it comes with. I really really want to try out the Coralista and the Eyelighter Pencil. 

UGH I'm such an Online Shopper Whore :[

Favorite Shampoo

Dear Lush,

Thank you for having such AMAZING solid shampoos.

It could be a bit pricey for some of us, but I have the sample size of the solid shampoo and it is lasting for a very very long time! They retail for 9.95 I believe, but it's well worth it.

KARMA KOMBA, I LOVE YOU!!

Strivectin, I love you!

Yes, I've decided to splurge on a product that I definitely wouldn't go looking for at the mall. I went to Sephora and tried this product on my hands and neck to see if it would give me an allergic reaction & oh my goodness! It gave such a silky smooth finish to my skin I fell in love and bought it. Now the only bad news for me on this product is that it was around $60, which is very pricey, even for me. I do admit, that my money was put to great use. It sinks into your skin quickly without leaving that oily feel to your skin as other products do, but it does give intense moisture. I have oily skin, EXTREMELY oily skin and it works great on me.

Strivectin, I love you!

New Favorite Bar!

I've just discovered these bars and I am IN LOVE with them! They make my tummy smile, they're called Bora Bora bars! I believe there's three different types of bars and a bunch of different flavors. Anyways, I've only tried one of the flavors and it's the Blueberry Flax Antioxidant Bar. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I will try to post more random blogs soon! Love you all and see you all again soon!

Collective Haul!

Hey! I basically went to the mall today and bought a couple things at MAC, Forever, Nordstrom, and Metropark. Here are some pictures to get a better view of what they look like incase my video had bad lighting. ENjoy :]

The 4 eyeshadows on the top row is what I had purchased.

From left to right: "Club","Paradisco","Coppering","Expresso"

These cute stud earrings are from Nordstrom and they were on sale for just $2.90 a pair!

These two necklaces are also from Nordstrom and they also were on sale for $2.90 each.

The rest were just tops from Forever and Metropark haha sorry Pono is in the picture :p

That's about it! I hope you all are having a great summer :]

Back To School Simple Eye

This is a really really quick simple eye look using MAC eyeshadows. This is a great look for back to school (middle school-college). You don't want to wear anything heavy on your face especially on your first day of school. I hope this look helps you all and this is what it looks like :]

The products I use are listed below:

Elf cream liner in Coffee and NYX eyeshadow base in White

On the face I use covergirl trublend minerals in 435 (bronzer) and 425 (pink blush)

The Eyes:

All over lid: MAC "Jest"

Crease: MAC "Brown Down"

Highlight: MAC "Dazzlelight"

I hope this look was helpful!

:]

got2b must have :]

I've found my new true love for my hair :]

The got2b smoothing lustre lotion is a good drugstore dupe for the Chi silk infusion and the Biosilk silk therapy lotion.

It's also much more cheaper that the two.

I believe it retails for around 5-6 dollars at CVS, but got2b products do go on sale often at CVS so just be patient :].

How to Use:

With damp hair or dry hair, use 1-2 pumps and apply to your hair.

Try to avoid applying it towards your roots since it might make your hair look oily. I realized that applying it to DRY hair works BETTER than applying it to damp hair.

What it Does:

This smooth operator helps to get rid of all your frizzys (it really does!). It also helps to give your hair a nice healthy shine and really makes your hair feel extremely silky and nice.

It also has UV protection which is a plus during the summer time :]

I believe it also works as a heat protectant also.

This product is a must have!!!!! :]]]]

Smokey Eye Tutorial

So I just posted a video on YouTube on how to do a

really simple & subtle smokey eye. Only one eyeshadow was used to create the smokey eye and of course another shadow for the highlight and lower lash line.

It's really really easy, & is completely fail proof.

This is a really good look for beginners who really want to try doing a smokey eye.

Don't limit yourself to just a black shadow also, you can have a more everyday smokey eye by just using a brown instead of a black, or you could even try using two shadows instead of one (using black on lid and using a light brown in crease to smoke it out).

I hope you guys try this look out, and have fun with it :]

Products Used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Elf Shadow Brush

Elf Blending Brush

Coastal Scents Blending Brush

Coastal Scents Pencil Brush

Urban Decay Shadow in Perversion

Stila Trio in Bronze Glow

So this is what the finished look is going to look like

Steps:

1. Prime lid

2. Apply black shadow on lid (how high up you want to go depends on how dramatic you want your look to be)

3. Get your blending brush and just blend the oute

r edge up (this is going to create the smokey look)

4. Get a light shadow and highlight under your brow

5. Get a soft brown shadow and apply it on your lower lid

6. Apply mascara!

New GeoLens!!

I've recently received my GeoLens contacts in the mail from Mycutelens.com. They have an amazing shipping process (from their company to hawaii was really just about 3 days). The pair that I brought is called the Angel 2 Tone color in Violet (CM-831). THEY ARE SO CUTE! They have a thick black ring along the outer edge of the contact which helps to give the appearance of having bigger looking eyes. The pair was $24.95 on the site plus shipping ($6.95), so in total my payment was $31.98. Their website has a huge variety to choose from which was really impressive. There were a lot of site that I went through that were sold out on a lot of the Geo Lenses. Prices for each type of GeoLens vary which is good, so a pair that you might be interested in may be quite affordable :]. How to open them in their jars and more information on the site is in my video.

Here are some pictures of what they look like:

This is the box that it came in :]

The packaging that the contacts come in are little jars (one contact in each jar).

This pair is called: CM-831 or, Angel 2 tone in Violet

This is basically what they look like on :]
