Welcome to my World of Beauty and Reviews!

I finally got my hands on the infamous INGLOT 10 Freedom System palette. I decided to play around with it today and came up with a look and I have to say these shadows are amazingly pigmented!

New Vanity Mirror!

It is incredibly bright and I think it came out Amazing!

Polish Hoarders Anonymous!

So the 1st step in any program is admitting we have a problem...

Spring Beauty Haul

Hello my beauties! I know it has been some time since I have done a post and shame on me. I have just ben so consumed with work an personal life that I literally get no "me" time at all now a days. I have missed chatting with my beauties and letting you all into my beauty world.  

So lets jump right in shall we?!!


I have been getting a few things over the past few weeks and have been dying to share them all with you. There are some that I forgot to include but sure enough will do another post soon to fill you all in . 


One of my favorite stores to shop is Forever 21 mainly because of the affordable clothes and accessories. They dont last too long but they are cute no less.




I love coral colored accessories especially if you are a little tanned will look great on you!


I have never ben one for big chunky necklaces , but this caught my eye and will have to incorporate into an outfit somehow.


I saw these by the register and of course I gave in lol. The colors were perfect for spring . I am not sure how opaque they are just yet but hoping don't go on too sheer .



Ok for someone that only uses falsies for special occasions or on clients per request, I have an insane mount of them and can't seem to resist a gorgeous pair of falsies that look full and wispy. This whole set was about $4.80 cant beat that.


Have you ever had a pair of false lashes you absolutely loved and couldn't bare the thought of parting ways with them just yet?   No where to put them? Well look no more because they make all sorts of cases now a days to store them . I found this one on Ebay . I have heard so many awesome things about the store Daiso Japan , but unfortunately I do not have one out here. I would love to go to one or something similar to it one day. I hear its beauty heaven!


This next item is a makeup artist and beauty junk must have!

There is nothing worse than doing all of your makeup and using the beautiful glitters and pigments and having a ton of fall out and ruining all the work you just did. 

These are Shadow Shields and they protect against any makeup fallout during makeup or false lash application.




One of the awesome things is that it is self adhesive and leaves you completely flawless once you are done applying your eye makeup.





So I recently went a little lighter with my hair color and had some highlights applied as well. I didn't want to have to bleach  my eyebrows to lighten them so I went to MAC and had one of the MUA's match me and love the combo that he suggested.


Brunette retractable brow pencil and Boy Girl Brow Setting Gel


I love that this lightens my brows just enough and sets them in place for long lasting application.


I was at Target and of course I always end up in the beauty section , and I came across the new line of John Freida Hair products. I personally have always been a fan and was excited to see these for products for blondes. I always have a problem with yellowing of my blonde so I figured let me prepare myself since its fresh and get products to keep the lustre and highlights nice and bright.



I also picked up one of the new Sonia Kashuk Chic Luminosity Bronzer/Blush Duo. I couldn't really tell the difference between the 3 that they had,  so I went for something a little darker. I am an NC40 shade for MAC so I have a bit of a hard time having certain blushes and bronzers actually showing up unless I pile it on which I am not about lol. This shade  was in glimmer.




Last but not least , I went to my local Outlet Mall and stopped in Victoria's Secret. They were having their usually crazy sales of 50-75% off and was instantly drawn in , along with the other crazed women around me digging in the bins lol.



The beauty products were 5 for $30 which I thought of course was a steal!




Picture does this clack glittery side no justice. Not as pigmented as I'd like, but with a black base underneath I am sure can make this work.


This is a gorgeous Pressed Mineral Bronzing Powder in Bronze Ambition.


I had gotten a set of fragrance samples for Christmas and one of the ones I loved was Body by Victoria. So I jumped on this little bottle for $7.50

The Hand Cream w Shea Butter was $3.50 ! Super moisturizing !


VS Pro Face Primer
Face Flash Highlighter
Lip Gloss in Glow


I cant wait to play around in all my new goodies! I have a few awesome posts lined up so will keep you all posted!

Fall Haul 2012

Hello my beauties! I hope you are all enjoying this fall weather and season. Here it is getting a little chilly in the mornings and evening which is refreshing after the scorching heat we had this summer. Love all the fall decorations and treats out now .

Over  the past few weeks I have grabbed a few beauty items that I just had to have.



I love the new Fergie line from Wet n Wild. I have always been a fan of the drugstore line and well over the years they have significantly improved in quality in my opinion.




I got these at my local Walgreen's for $7.99 each. Yes a little pricier than I would have liked but it is definitely all in the packaging and what comes in it. This is as big as a book and opens as such. Will be doing a few looks with these soon and will go more into detail then on whats inside.


If you follow me on Instagram, you know already how much I have obsessed about this cute Halloween polish!


This was I believe $3.99 at RiteAid and I was instantly drawn to this blue and pink goodness!



I also picked up this new Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Polish that caught my attention. Has a bit of a holographic/duo chrome feel to it and thought was a perfect shade for fall.


Now one of the most important things to me in the beauty world is my skincare. I am very very picky and careful when it comes to my face. The awesome people at Apothica gave me the opportunity to choose a couple of things on the site and I had been wanting this set for like ever but the $45 price tag always deterred me from doing so.


I use a couple of other items from the Dr. Brandt line and I know they also carry the line at Sephora. It does wonders to my skin texture and my skin drinks it up!


One of the things I had been wanting to get was this Pores no more Vacuum Cleaner for Blackheads. I have terrible blackheads around my nose and I am always trying to squeeze them out or scrub like crazy . ( I know super bad) but haven't found anything that has worked for them . Praying this will do the trick!



OK so the full size version of this little Collagen Booster is $75 !!! Yup you can also find it here at Sephora. I mean I am gonna have to see what kind of miracle lies in this tube because I cant justify spending that much to be honest on a skin treatment. 


I went to my other favorite store Tarjay and had to get some things I ran out of like my Eye makeup Remover from Sonia K etc. 


I have heard and read some great reviews on this concealer quad and wanted something to throw in m purse for on the go touch ups. I  have mentioned many times before how much of a concealer junkie I am but a much needed item in my life unfortunately


I also had been looking for a lash comb. I had forgotten to pick up one when I went to Ricky's the other day and for $5 figured shouldn't be so bad. I usually use a spoolie , but sometimes I need a little more separation after my mascara.



Ok so this is now my 2nd L'oreal Pencil. I love it to pieces. It goes on super dark and smoothly on my water line, and so long as I set my concealer with a powder after, the transfer of this liner on my lower lash line is very very minimal.


I had been eye balling these after seeing them all over Instagram and posts and decided to grab a couple that I liked the most. 



Really Rose is my favorite of the 3. I guess I like opaque glosses over shimmery ones. I use them daily and like how they don't feel sticky. They have an awesome scent to them too!


I have a ton of posts lined up for you all. I am trying to learn ways to better plan them and get more in throughout the week. Working and being a wife and dealing with day to day sometimes is a challenge when it comes to time management. I enjoy all of the different adventures I am currently handling and feel as though sometimes it turns into work instead of my hobby and fun. I am anxious to see what other opportunities will come my way and will enable me to share awesome posts and news for all of my lovely readers. I love you all to pieces and wouldn't be still in the blogosphere without you all. 

See you all soon!
Love & Lipgloss!

Haulage

Hello loves so over the past month or so I have snagged a few things here and there from the new Mac Shop and Mac Cook Collections. I also grabbed a couple of goodies from Ulta, Target,Victoria's Secret etc. there were also a few things I just did not like at all and well returned or still trying to work with . 


Now I am not one to totally splurge but this Mac Collection was just a must for me!
There were also a few things I got from the Naturally Collection and and Eyeshadow and Lipstick my friend Lisa sent me from the Iris Apfel Collection.




Mac Blonde MSF
This is such a gorgeous highlighter for my cheeks. It has a gradient appeal to eat that goes from lightest to darkest shades of pink. While I was there I had also tried the Red Head MSF and wished I would have grabbed it too but I was and am on a very strict beauty budget and decided to grab just this one.



In the Sun Eyeshadow from the Mac Naturally Collection. This is a gorgeous Mineralized Eyeshadow.



My gorgeous Beauty Buddy Lisa from MsPrettyfulGirl sent me this gorgeous Matte Eyeshadow called Early Bird from the Iris Apfel Collection.






Call me Bubbles Quad





Mac Tendertone Lip Conditioner
Smells like fresh Strawberries






Pink Nouveau Lipstick also from my friend Lisa.





I am a huge fan of the Benefit High Beam and decided to give this a try. Cant wait to use this in the summer!



I actually got 2 pairs of Katy Perry lashes. I completely forgot to snap a pic before I used them but they were the Cool Kitty ones. These run about $6.95 at Ulta





So I am not a big collector of body sprays, but while browsing the store I came across this and sprayed a little , walked around and OMG I just had to have it. It is a fruity concoction of goodness. Not sure what the name is but this is all the bottle says on it on the front.




How adorable is the packaging on these lippies? I wanted all 4 but they were about $15 each

 I was recently at Kohls and of course I somehow ended up in the beauty section of course and after my hand looked like a rainbow of swatches, I picked up these Flirt Cosmetics Goodies.




Girly Girl Eyeshadow $13.50




Dapple Apple Blush


I also grabbed Sangria lipstick which is a gorgeous Orangey red but I was having a hard time photographing it for some reason . 



I have never tried No7 Cosmetics from Target and there was a lip section on sale for $5 so I snagged this gorgeous pink lippy called  Number Three Glamour

I have been loving all my Mac goodies of course and all the lip colors lately. 

Hope you all enjoyed lots more posts coming soon
