Mostly Drugstore Beauty Haul!

Hi guys! 

I don't know if it is the summer weather that is putting me in a great mood or not, but because of it, I have been doing a lot of shopping. Probably more shopping than I should... 

Anyways, as you will see I have been super into pink and coral lips for summer!

If you would like a separate review on any of the products pictured, let me know. :)

My Two Favorite Ladies: The Balm's Betty-Lou and Mary-Lou (Manizer)

Many know about these beloved highlighter/shimmer/eye shadow powders from The Balm. These two have quickly become two of my favorite pieces in my makeup collection. As of lately, Betty has been making more of an appearance on my face because of the darker shade of my skin these summer months. The quality of these powders is awesome with both being buttery smooth and very pigmented. They have multiple purposes such as a highlighter, bronzer, and even an eyeshadow. My favorite way to use them is to give my cheeks a healthy glow. These powders retail for $24 on the Balm's website, however, they often are featured on the discount website Hautelook where I think I paid $12 each for them.

Mustache Tag!

Hey everybody! 

I was tagged by Ariel from Chic Look xo to do the "Mustache Tag"!

I love all the things that have mustaches on them and I once had a mustache ring but lost it. :(

Here is me with my poorly drawn mustache. I think this paired with the flannel shirt makes me look like a lumberjack? 

I tag YOU to do this! 

New! Limited Edition Maybelline Color Tattoos!

Hey guys!

If you have followed my blog long, then you know that I am a big fan of the Maybelline Color Tattoo eye shadows. I own almost all of the original colors. Today, while browsing through target, I noticed a display of new Color Tattoo colors! I went nuts. I picked up 3 of the 4 new colors which are: "Fuchsia Fever", "Blue on By", and "Ready, Set, Green".

I have not worn any of the colors, since I just picked them up today. But, when swatching them, I noticed that "Ready, Set, Green" was the most pigmented, followed by "Fuchsia Fever", and the least pigmented and most streaky was "Blue on By". 

Have you purchased any new Color Tattoos?

Urban Decay Haul: Free Love and Psychedelic Sister!

Hello again.

I received an e-mail a week or so ago about Urban Decay having a sale. Whenever I hear that Urban Decay is having products on sale, I have to check it out. The sale items include eye shadows, eye shadow palettes, lipstick, lip gloss, etc. I only picked up two of their eye shadows, for $9,  in colors that I had been eyeing for a while. 

Free Love is described as a "peach shimmer"

Psychedelic Sister is described as a "bright purple" with shimmer. 

Both are gorgeous colors that I can't wait to try out more!
The sale at Urban Decay's website is still going on click here to check it out. 

With every purchase, Urban Decay included samples of their new Naked Skin Foundation. 

So excited to try this out! 

Did you purchase anything from this sale?

First YouTube Video: Basic Naked 2 Smokey Eye!

Hey girls! 

I just wanted to let you all know that I have made my first YouTube Video!  After getting a new camera that actually has a decent video function, I had been contemplating whether or not to start making YouTube videos, since watching YouTube videos is really what got me more into makeup. After having trouble editing,  converting, and uploading the video, I have finally posted my first one. This video is a tutorial for creating a basic smokey eye using Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette shown in the pictures below. I added the actual video to this blog post, but I would love it if you all would go to my YouTube channel , check it out, and leave me comments of constructive criticism! I will be trying to make higher quality, less awkward, and better edited videos in the future.

Current (July) Favorites!

Hello!
I am back with probably my 2nd favorites post since starting my blog. haha I don't usually do them but I felt the need to share these great products with all of you!  July has been a fun and crazy month. I turned 21 on the 1st of July and have been working like crazy while trying to squeeze in some personal time! I hope everyone had a great July and is having a good summer!

Here are some products that I have been loving.

Mac Pleasureseeker Lip Stick and Josie Maran Magic Marker Cheek and Lip Stain in Tango

This lip stain paired with Pleasureseeker on top have been my go to combo. Tango is a bright peach stain and Pleasureseeker compliments and tones it down when worn on top. 

Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace Body Lotion

This is probably my all time favorite Victoria Secret scent. I have purchased this body lotion in the past and completely used it up. I got this one with a coupon that I received for my birthday and am almost out of it! It is the perfect vanilla scent that sticks around all day long. I love putting this on my arms and legs for a lasting scent. :)

Tarte Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess 

I picked up the mini pack of this and Tarte's Amazonian Clay blush in Dollface. I have been using this bronzer almost every day on my cheeks as a blush. It really warms up my face. And, since this bronzer contains a hint of shimmer/sheen it really brings out and highlights my cheeks. Love! 

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Detangler 

I saw a review of this on a fellow blog and decided to pick it up. I love that this can be used on either wet or dry hair. I use this when my hair is damp. But, I love it especially on my dry hair to add some life and shine. 

LORAC Tantalizer in Deep 

For my birthday, I received a gift card to Sephora and this is what I purchased. This stuff is amazing. When I am not feeling very tan or my self tanner has worn off, I just use this to give me a deep bronzing glow. And, it smells amazing! Kind of like a mixture of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, YUM.

Bath and Body Works Body Spray in Forever Sunshine 

Recently, Bath and Body works had their semi-annual sale. This body spray was 75% off so why not get another body spray? This scent is in Forever Sunshine and it has been my go-to scent this month. But, I was informed by one of the ladies at Bath and Body Works won't be carrying this scent anymore. Bummer. 

If you would like to see a review of any of these let me know!
