I've always wanted to try the bella bamba and hoola bronzer for the longest time but i never want to purchase it cuz it's was so expensive! But this is a great deal that has both hoola & bella bamba as well as coralista in one palette! plus it's the price of one blush!

What is your wishlist for this year? :D

August/September Faves!~

Products:
Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask: This mask is seriously awesome! I only use it twice a week and it really cleans my pores. I also use it to spot treat any potential blemishes and it reduces it the next day. I kinda use it like how you would use toothpaste to reduce the pimple. I sleep with it on till the next day and the bump is smaller. it's amazing! definitely something that could give your face a pick-me-up and it's only 3.99 at walgreens! great product.
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter: OMG! This body butter smells AMAZING! I can't stop sniffing it cuz it's that GOOD! Also, this body butter is thick and moisturizing without leaving a greasy residue! It really absorbs into your skin quickly, making your skin so soft. I'm seriously in loooove with this body butter. I don't think i'm going to buy an other body butter or lotions for my body except this. It's only $5 at sephora too! can't beat that. This is going to be a repurchase for me for a long time. :D
It's a 10 leave-in product: This hair product really does about 7 out of 10 but overall i think it's pretty good for just one product. It definitely detangled my hair as well as add shine and made my hair soft. I don't mind the smell in the hair. I can't describe it but it's not bad. lol I mainly love it cuz it left my hair soft after i blow dry my hair and shiny but it didn't control my frizz though, but it's okay not many products can do that with my hair. overall, did enjoy it for the month.
MAC "Woodwinked" eyeshadow: I love this color for fall! I pair it with a reddish brown in the crease and it's a perfect fall look. I put this color all over the lid and it adds such a nice golden shine. I'm just loving it. lol gorgeous color and great pigmentation as most MAC eyeshadows are. :D
Urban Decay Primer Potion in eden: I really like this primer alott more than the original because my eyelids tend to get really oily during the day so this is suppose to prevent that because it's a more matte formula. It works great for that! Also it keeps my colors on all day and I also use it to conceal my undereye circles! The color matches my skin enough to do that so i double it as my under eye concealer. love itt that i could use two different uses for it! definitely going to be a repurchase over and over. :)
Maybelline dream matte powder: Been wanting to try this for a long time and so far I think it's a good powder. When i apply it, it doesn't make my face look cakey which is great! It gives me a little more finished look with extra coverage. It controls my oils somewhat but not that great for that. it's just a nice finished powder. I enjoy this product too.
Nars Lipgloss in Ophelia: This product a little splurge for me. :D i'm actually in LOVE with this lipgloss. It's not super sticky but it's sticky enough to last a long time and the shine of it is amazing over any lipstick. I just love this lipgloss. Worth the $24 mhm.
NARS Blush in Dolce Vita: Another splurge item from nars! haha I'm loving NARS! I love this blush of course! It's sooo freaking pigmented! you only need a tap of this and put on your cheeks! if too much you will definitely look like a clown. haha But I love this color because it's like a dark rusty rose color and it's just perfect for fall.
NYX Mega Shine lipgloss in Beige: It's not a beige color thats for sure! lol It's a light pink with no shimmers! It's like a milky pink gloss and i love the smell of these lipglosses! it smells like fruit punch or something. lol Also the texture is creamy and smooth on the lips. The color pay off is amazing! super pigmented. For the month of august I always wore this gloss over a coral lipstick and it gives the nicest color combo. :D
Maybelline "The Flared" Falsies: I like this mascara because it does give me length without clumping my lashes like crazy! This mascara definitely only give you length not volume. So if you're looking for volume this one is not for you. I always get it in waterproof so it really holds my curl all day. so i like that. plus it's the packaging that really suckered me into this. haha dammit :P
MAC Blush in Pinch O' Peach: I loved this blush for the month of August! It gives the cutest pink glow to your cheeks but it's a matte blush. It's more of a sheer blush so you don't have to worry about over applying it on your face. That's what i like about it cuz I don't have to really think about it when putting it on. The color comes out but if you want a more intense color it's buildable.
MAC lipstick in Up the Amp: I started using this lipstick in september and It was a nice purplish color when paired with a warm lipgloss like strange potion lipglass from mac. It definitely toned the purple down and it was so pretty. Almost like a nice berry color. mac lipsticks are of course pigmented, so dabbing this lipstick on your lips will make this lipstick more wearable. :D
Revlon Matte Lipstick in Smoked Peach: This is the lipstick I used to pair with the NYX lipgloss in biege. It's such a nice coral color! And the texture is awesome~ I got this lipstick because a beauty guru on youtube wore it with a pink lipgloss on top and it looked gorgeous on her, so i wanted to try it out & I loved it too! The revlon matte lipsticks are drying a bit because it's a matte lipstick but it's not bad at all. You can wear it alone with no lipgloss and it still looks nice on the lips.

Hope you enjoyed the post! ^___^

Redecorate?

So about a month ago I cleaned up my room DRAMATICALLY! I cleared all the junk i had piled up in my room and just reorganized everything. Along with reorganizing/redecorating i had to buy some new stuff to add some spice to new improved room! Ever since i cleaned out my room i'm just always thinking about ideas on how to redecorate my room. It's like a new obsession! (uh-oh) so i went to buy some storage to put majority of my stuff away. I'm not done yet. i have plenty more things I want to buy to redecorate my room, but i'm slowly adding little at a time. :D

Here are a few things i picked up at the Container Store that helped me reorganized some stuff. ^^
^My jewelry stands. I bought two (one in the back) cuz i realized I have too many necklaces & bracelets to fit on one. lol plus it was on sale yay!^^My nailpolish rack (aka spice rack) to hold most of my nailpolish & my brush holder that I made myself. :D^^My New Drawers where i put my makeup & other misc. things^^Lastly, i got this lipstick holder which holds 12 lipsticks total i loves it!^

That's all the interesting purchases I got for my room oh and some scented candles. I love scented candles! I light them up in my room almost everyday~

That's all for now ^________^

I'm so excited!~

Today, was so gloomy and cloudy with rain and I had class from 8am till 7pm... I felt like crappp! I have so many midterms and assignments I have to do which doesn't really help either. oh wells. I have one more semester of University and i'm done! yay so excited! Oh, also i fell asleep in the library today while studying for operations research. I never done that before. lol It was a very awkward but refreshing feeling at the same time.

Also!

Is anyone excited for Halloween yet?! I AM!
I came across these awesome Halloween nail polishes by China Glaze.
The thing that caught my attention was the glow in the dark nail polish, which is "ghoulish glow". It sounded really fun to put on my nails and you can layer it on top of other nail polishes. I also seen a swatch of "It's alive" from temptalia's blog post about them and I thought it was gorgeous! It also comes with a black shatter polish called "Black Mesh" and a metallic pumpkin orange polish called "Cross Iron 360". I can't wait to try it!

^____________^

June Faves!

Product List:
-Urban Decay Naked Palette: Awesome palette like everyone says! It's really pigmented & blends out easily. You can do so many looks with this one palette cuz of so many great neutral colors they have. This month i've been just putting my bare study paint pot all over the lid with the color buck in the crease & virgin on my inner corners & brow bone as an everyday look =)
-Benefit Coralista Blush (sample size): I love this blush! it give me such a cute coral color for my cheeks! It's very buildable & easy to blend out plus is smells soo nice! One the main things why I love this blush. haha

-Essie "Boat House": I believe it's part of the new essie brazilant collection. It's suchaaa cute coral color for the nails. it's like true coral color! It's adorable if you got a tan going on. I have it on my toes & it's a cute pop of color. =)
-China Glaze "Refreshmint": I wore this color most of june & I think it's reallyyy girly & feminine color for your nails. If you have like a tan or medium skin tone it really pops on your skin. It's really cutee ^^
-Beauty Rush Top Coat: I LOVE this top coat! It dries really fast like seriously like 60 minutes just like it claims to do. It really leaves your nails glossy & smooth. it was also only $3-$4 which is cheaper than seche vite! I think it works just as well as seche vite & the smell isnt as strong as the seche vite. I really like this top coat way better than seche vite to be honest. =) highly recommend!
-Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in "Ravishing": this is a cute coral color lipstick! It's very subtle & not soo bright which is good if you dont want to have such a bright coral lip. lol but it gives enough color to give you a really cute orangey tint. i like it soo much!! i've been wearing it tons this month.
-Mac Surf Baby Lipglass in "Strange potion": I like this lipglass paired with the ravishing lipstick. It makes a really adorable lip combo for the summer! trust meeee!! especially with a tan! omggg you would look fabulous! XD Plus it's pigmented on it's own & i just love the color~
-Sonia Kashuck blush brush: it's the pink with the silver handle. I love this brush this month for putting on my blush. It's kinda soft & blends out my blush well.
-Elf angle contour brush: I actually use this brush to apply my concealer it's really great for that! It's dense & small enough to blend under my eyes. great brush! =)
-Ecotools highlighting brush (came in a travel size kit the eye brushes one lol): I seriously use this brush for everything. lol I could do a whole eye look with this brush. i use it to put color in my crease & for blending it out at the same time. It picks up colors so nicely while blending out the color at the same time. It saves the hassle of using two brushes. It's just awesome. I love it. lol

That is all for my june faves! I hope you enjoyed Thanks for reading! <3

Such a nice day today!

For the past few days has been totally shitty lately with nothing but rain, snow & clouds.. =( but today was actually quite decent with clear skies and sunshine. I only went out to do errands & past by walgreens just to shop and pick up some makeup like always. lol I like what I bought though!I wanted to try this out becuz it's suppose to volumize my hair & i really need that since my hair at the top is so flat. lol I tried it & my boyfriend said it looks the same. =/ bleh. i'll keep trying with it. lolA blush in "heather silk" & a bronzer in "Goddess" from Wet & Wild. they are pretty pigmented! i like them =) The texture is smooth when i swatched themI heard good reviews about this mascara & I gotta say it's pretty damn lengthening lol! not so much volumizing on my eyelashes though just lengthening, which I NEED since my eyelash are so short. =(I really wanted a lipstick that gave a purplish undertone and I honestly think this lipstick is so pretty! It's Revlon super lustrous lipstick in "Berry". It's a real berry color if you're looking for something that is berry or just like berries in general like me. lolLastly, here is a picture of me trying on all the products I bought. lol Sorrie for the bad quality. I tried to fix it with photoshop, but it still kinda blurry. But yeh, you could see how lengthening the mascara is on my eyelashes & the berry lipstick doesn't show quite well in the camera but in real life, trust me it's kinda purple. lol I tried the blush which you could kinda see and a little bit of bronzer on the hollows of my cheeks barely noticeable. I also tried the hairspray but eh. lol

Fashion Haul

Hi everyone!

Here is a little fashion show of the clothes I purchased from forever 21 & hollister! I've been loving their clothes lately. They have a lot of off the shoulder shirts and crop tops. I love that look! It's so comfy and cute looking for the summer and spring. Also, I'm a massive bow freak so when i see bows i have to get it! lol. Enjoy!

sparkly grey top with rhinestones all over except the back, with black skinny jeans, & black mini heel flat.
shirt from hollister with bows near the v-neck! so cute
shirt with bows everywhere! too cute! with a bow necklace also from forever 21 =)
similar to the first shirt with the rhinestones all over in the front but off the shoulder!
this shirt is a see through material crop top that is off the shoulder. Originally it wasn't a crop top, it was much longer but I put it in the wash and it shrunk into a crop top. lol it still worked out fine. ^^ also underneath is a simple black tank top with frills on the strap.

I hope you like my little fashion haul!
Thanks for reading!

oh & my nails atm =)
It's so cute! i love it~

Mini Mac!

Went to the mac cosmetics store a couple of weeks ago and purchased a little bit of make up. I'm really loving their eyeshadows, lipsticks, and paint pots! I still need to get some other products from them to try!
It seems that a lot of people are loving the lipstick from mac called "Creme Cup" which is a cremesheen lipstick and it's suppose to be moisturizing on the lips.
I love the color! It's so pretty, but it really shows my lip lines when i put it on & you need really need moisturized lips to make it look nice. Iono why but my lips have so much lines on it and it gets chapped easily... If anyone knows a really good lip balm that helps smooths out my lips please let me know! I'd like to try it out.

Another item I picked up was mac's paint pot in "bare study"
it's sooooo pretty. omg. i love putting it on my eyes. It just gives your eyeshadows the slightest sparkle or shine. I've been wearing it almost everyday since i got it. i'm definitely loving it.

Here swatches of the two:
"Bare study" (top) & "Creme Cup" (bottom)

hope you enjoyed reading!

Skin 79 B.B Cream review!

Hi ladies!

I've been using the Skin 79 B.B cream for about 2 weeks now almost everyday, and I absolutely love it.
The texture of the B.B cream is so light and smooth, which makes the application so smooth. I use my fingers to apply this B.B cream, and it blends very nicely into my skin. I haven't tried with a brush because I think using your fingers is so much faster & it works really well. No need dirty to a brush. =) Also, B.B creams aren't made to have full coverage like a MAC Studio Fix Foundation. It's like a tinted moisturizer but better in my opinion because it has properties that help your skin. This B.B cream has about medium coverage, which I think is pretty good! I just go in with concealer afterward on my problem areas. Unfortunately, for this B.B cream there is only one shade of color, and if you're light/medium skin tone it might work out for you. However, even if you're a little more on the medium skin tone, I think you could dust some bronzer on your face to make it match your skin tone better or use a powder foundation around the face. It could work too. ^^ This B.B cream also oxidizes on your skin after a little while, which makes it look slightly darker than when you freshly put on. Also, this B.B cream has whitening, anti-winkle, and UV Protection of SPF 25 PA++ properties, which is really good for your skin! It has SPF which helps protect your skin from the sun. Also, the best part I love about this B.B cream is that it whitens any dark spots. I have lots of acne scars on my forehead and cheeks & omg... It really has reduce the dark scars very well for me. I've noticed that it has gotten a lot better and less noticeable. And of course I don't know about anti-winkle cuz I'm too young to get wrinkles! lol But overall, I really like this B.B cream. It's nice to have when you just don't want to have so much stuff on your face and is always on the go.

My skin before with nothing on:
My skin after applying the B.B Cream:
what you think? =)

Asian Cosmetics

I FINALLY got my hands on some dolly wink products which I LOVE cuz of the packaging. It's soo cute! =) I purchased the brown pencil eyeliner, the eyeshadow quad in 01 brown, & My beauty diaries masks pack. The boyfriend bought me the Skin 79 Triple Function B.B cream and the dolly wink liquid eyeliner. <3

I already tried all the products and I'm obsessed with the dolly wink eyeliner! It was the only liquid eyeliner that has lasted on my oily eyelids without any smudges! FREAKING LUBBERZ! <3 lol I've tried many different liquid and gel liners and they all end up smudging on my eyelid fold because I have monolids and it drives me nuts, makes me look like i have a black eye with my eyeliner on my water line running too. lol i haven't found an eyeliner that lasts on my water line yet though.. the dolly wink pencil smudges a bit but not as bad as other eyeliners, so not bad. I'll do a comparison post one day.

Loves the eyeshadows too because it's pretty colors and pigmented and of course cute packaging! eeps! <3 I always appreciate the cute details on the packages because when I like whip it out, it's like OHH CUTE packaging and i'm like I know rightttt? ^___^ haha i'm such a dork. but yeh. I love everything I have purchased so far and will do reviews on them in more detail later. Thanks for reading!

New China Glaze Crackle

I was so excited to try the china glaze crackle becuz it has so many different colors which drew me into it compared to the opi shatter where they only had black. I got it at my local Sally's beauty supplies and the one near my house were really almost sold out of it. =( I only got my hands on the dark purple one called "Fault Line" It's really pretty but i had my heart set on the mint green color. so sad they didnt have it. sob! I might try other sally's beauty supplies stores to see if they have other colors. I'm determined to get the mint green one! lol overall, I thought it was pretty cool! I liked how it shattered instantly and the color is so pretty. =) I added glitter on top of the shatter nail polish and it looks gorgeous!

Here is what it looks like on my nails. I put it over China Glaze "Light as air"

It looks like imma claw someone. lol iono why i posed my fingers like that. XD

Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation Review

My thoughts about the MAC foundation I bought was that it was not for me. The best thing about this foundation is that it had REALLY good coverage and it matched my skin tone really well! It made me skin look amazing, but I just didn't like the smell of it and when I put it on my skin, I felt itchy right away. Then afterwards I started getting small breakouts. I guess for me it didn't react well as I hoped... =( My skin type is combination where my T-Zone is very oily but my cheeks and around the nose is very dry. I ended up returning it to MAC and they were very nice and the refund transaction was smooth. They accepted it with no problem. Overall, I was so sad that it didnt work well with my skin.. I was hoping it would! lol but it's okay. Time to go hunt for a new foundation for me. =)

Shopping!

Shopping is a stress reliever for me. lol It's so bad. I spent time with my BFF that I have not hung out with in so long! I missed her. =( but anyways we went shopping and I got so many cute things!

First...

I finally got my hands on some MAC cosmetics. I've always wanted to try it, so I bought myself the studio fix fluid foundation in NC30 and Woodwinked. I really like the coverage of the foundation so much, but i'm so worried it might break me out cuz alot of people broke out from it. Everytime I apply it my face feels a bit itch shortly after, but i haven't really broken out that bad. I might continue to use it a little more and see. I love my woodwinked eyeshadow. It's amazing and so pretty! I love the golden sheen it gives to my eyelids! I can't wait to go back and get more eyeshadows. I'm also going to get myself a lipstick as well and blush or gloss. I haven't decided yet. =)

Went to Charlotte Russe and got these really cute rings!..

they remodeled the whole place and have new stuff and i just love that store so much! they definitely made their clothes and accessories much cuter! They have so many bows and i love bows hence why I got the gold bow connector ring. It's so adorable! me and BFF both got the wing ring together. =) I love it.

I also went to forever21 and got the cutest jacket and the color is magenta as well a cute striped shirt with bow details in the back. Very adorable and unique. Wearing them together matches very well. =)


I also purchased some small beauty products =)...

NYC Nailpolishes: Starry Silver Glitter, Manhattan, Canal Street, Park Ave

I have Park Ave on my nails at the moment. I really like it a lot!



New Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in "Orchid", Revlon Colorstay Pencil Eyeliner in "Noir", Rimmel Soft Kohl pencil eyeliner in "pure white"

Oh! I also found a neat tip for rings. If you have a fake ring that makes your fingers green and gets discolored, all you have to do is take a top coat nailpolish and paint the ring area inside and out. Then let it dry and that is it! you could wear it now without it making your fingers green or discoloration! =) I hope it helped!

That's all! Thanks for reading^^

Ulta & Target Haul, Texas Souvenirs, & Nails!

I hung out with my friend today! Went to Ulta bought the things I wanted to try for the longest time such as the oscar brandi dry shampoo, garnier eye roller renewal which is suppose to help depuff and reduce eye circles and stila palette that was only $10! but I bought it as a gift for my friend. It's called fabulous in fiji. They are so cute. I want to collect all of them. lol Then went to target and found a new toner from Boots Organic. It looked promising because it had natural ingredients like rosemary and amazonian clay. It helps tighten pores and reduce oils which I desperately need cuz my pores are huge! bleh.. lol oh and i got another EOS lip balm. Everyone always asks me or thinks it's an egg when i use it. lol but i tell them it's a lip balm and they think it's so neat. =)


My friend got me cute little souvenirs from Texas. They are adorable. =) especially the little alamo figure. XD

Lastly, my nail art design for the week. lol


I cant wait to try out my new products that i got =) i hope they work for me!

Collective Make-up & Misc Haul =)

It's been awhile! :)

I've been into make-up so much lately! All I think about is wanting make-up. It's such an expensive addiction. lol but i've mostly stuck to drugstore make-up lately because they are just as good quality as high end. =) However, I'm trying to save my money for more high end make-up like NARS! I've been wanting to get NARS cosmetics for awhile and some mac cosmetics too. =) but I'm poor so i'm saving money. lol


I'm also into bows alot too. lol This bag was from Target for only $16.99. It was on clearance. I also got some jeggings for $13. yay for deals! <3


These necklaces are from my trip to Canada! They were from a store called Ardenes. They had a deal of buy 3 for $15.




I also got these from Canada! Rimmel Lash Accelerator, Rimmel's lipstick in "airy fairy" and Revlon's Colorburst lipstick in "soft nude". When I was in Canada I tried looking all over for the Lash Accelerator in many different stores and I ended up finding it at the brand new big WAL-Mart they just opened recently. lol


Swatches of Rimmel lipstick "Airy Fairy" (left) & Revlon lipstick "Soft Nude" (right) my favorite is the airy fairy so pretty on the lips!


I got two lipglosses. The loreal infalliable lip plumping lipgloss in "Plumped Plum" & the NYX mega shine lipgloss in "Sweetheart". I like the infallible lipgloss because it's the color of my lip but it makes my lip really glossy and pretty and it lasts long. The nyx lipgloss smells so yummy, but you have to have really smooth soft lips for the color to work on you. I tend to have chapped lips alot and when i put it on you could see the dryness. lol


Swatches. loreal infallible lipgloss in "Plumped Plum" (left) & Nyx maga shine lipgloss in "Sweetheart" (right)


Korean Face Masks! A wonderful Flickr friend sent me these to try. =)The Green Tea mask is suppose to make your face feel clean & clear. The Honey one is to keep your face moisturized and elastic. =)

I'm soo interested in asian make up! I've been wanting the asian drugstore cosmetics such as canmake, majolica majora, dolly wink, k-pallete, etc. ahh! I wish I lived near stores that sell these! I know in california there are stores that sell those products! I wish i lived in cali sometimes cuz of the great asian goodies they have over there. lol
