NOTICE

HELLO!

Ok so, I want to apologize their HASNT been any postings =/ I've really actually hated my my blog because I want to provide the best pictures and quailty for you all to see for yourself and with the camera I have, it does no justices... BUT good news! I've been saving for a new camera, and yesterday I bought online a Nikon D5000. I heard this is the BEST! =P I love photography and I thought shoot... I might as well get the best anyways. So with this said, product photos and reviews will become a lot better and funner to look at then a boring picture. I will do my best to take good photos once my camera comes in the mail.

Future, I plan on getting a Table Top Studio for product photos, with the corrective lighting and everything. You guys have been wonderful! I do apologize I should have let you know about my plans eariler, BUT videos are still uploading pratically everyday =P

Thank You so much!

SmashBox Muse Palette

SmashBox Muse pallete is wonderful for our artistic makeup guru's! lol The casing is sooo wonderful and amazing its hard not to look. (Our at least for it me is =P) They don't sell this palette anymore in smashbox stores or online. But I did manage to find it off of ebay! =P Ebay is AMAZING! lol

Now when you first look at the casing you would think, "Oh, a artist palette, soooo rainbow colors! Or primary colors!?" Well Nope! You get some nice brown shades, greens, blues, and purples! I have to admit I think they could have done better on choosing colors for a "Muse" palette, BUT I still love the colors that are in this palette! I love how they added a Wooden Brush to make it more artistic, but I think they still should have worked on the colors more =P

SWATCHES! Yayy, ok these are the swatches as you can see! White base I used was NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk! If you look above the white line you will still see the color pigment on skin. I did that so that way you can see how it is on a white base and off a white base. I do have to admit, they look better on a white base! Just makes the colors pop out and say "Hellooooo" more =P

Let's Get Clean & Clear and Under Control!

The kit includes a 4 Oz. Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Cleanser, 2 Oz. Salicylic Acid Acne Medication Moisturizer, and a .5 Oz. Salicylic Acid Acne Medicine Treatment.

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit provides clearer skin in as little as 1 day of use so the box says, so I had to check this out! For one day I tired it and OMG...I did see Improvement! With-in at least 5 days my skin was super clear-er that I didnt need to put a a foundation to cover up anything. Not only this is awesome because I dont have to wear foundation or cover up in summer, it makes my skin feel so good and like...ummm...FRESHER! This product is amazing!!!

Wet N Wild - I Dream Of Greenie

Wet N Wild - I Dream Of Greenie

This eyeshadow trio palette from Wet N Wild is AMAZING! The eyelid green is soo neon-ish bright! Perfect color for if you really want to stand out their and say "Hello!" The crease color is a nice grassy green tone that really brings out the neon green! Now for the eyebrown bone color, Its like a pastel green. I personally dont like it. I use it more of a tearduct color instead of an eyebrow color because my skin tone it makes me look ummm not so good. Its not my cup of tea. GREAT color just not great my my brow bone.

How to Apply:

Basically the product speaks for itself! lol Where you put the colors is label and pressed on the eyeshadow. So the one that says eyelid you put ont he eyelid and so on... =P

Hard Candy Primer Base

HARD CANDY SHEER ENVY PRIMER!

I had heard a lot of people rave about the Hard Candy Sheer Envy face primer, but was really skeptical about the results being that one its cheap and two you can only get it at walmart. It surprised me, and I think I’ve found my favorite foundation primer. It's not omg status like "Primer Potion" or "Two Face" but it’s close enough for me and does its job good! I've heard a lot of people also use this as a foundation primer, but eh I use it more as a eyeshadow primer. Maybe in the winter I will test this out as a foundation primer, so their is not much on my face in the summer time! =P

How To Use:
When you first squeeze this product out you are gonna think ewwie! But once you apply it onto your eyelids (or face) it glinds on sooooo smooth! Make sure you apply only a thin layer, if you apply a lot, it will start to crease and get all yuckie. For eyelids I would use like 1/4th size of your pinky finger. (Very little!) For foundation size I would recommend a pea-size and it will spread through-out your face =) Just that little is all you really need for it to work its magic. Wait a few seconds for it to dry before you apply your eyeshadow and/or foundation.

How Much?
At our Walmart it cost me $9.00 plus tax.
I can only seem to find it at walmart thought or online.
This is def worth $9.00 because its such a big bottle of it too! 1.6oz.

Two bedroom has the pretty princess wall paper and the other bedroom had like christmas tree wall paper.. weird! lol The master bedroom was just plain wall paper, booo haha jk jk. But anywho this house needs a lot of love! Its getting torn down to cement, walls, bathrooms redone! OMG speaking of bathroom! One bathroom which is a 3/4 bath was orange and red tile! No joke! haha The bathroom in the "kids bedrooms" is literally pink and purple! haha Ok so before I babble off on sooo much horror of this house, Ill end it up with a sorry! Things are going back up in the swing of time! =D

Here is my first Review for the Wet N Wild "Cool As A Cucumber" Set! I have to say, first is for a price of $2.95 its kinda fishy to be such a great item... But SEE FOR YOURSELF how amazing these really are!! =P

So I had to get this Trio Set! Here are photos of me wearing this set! The left eye in the picture has a white cream stick base, and the right eye has no base! Check out the Turtorial on youtube!

MAC Surf Baby Look

So in May MAC came out with a new collection called surf baby! I LOVVVVE it, when I went to my MAC Counter they where already out of some items that Ive wanted (This was the day the collection came out!) Well All I was able to pick up was the Short Shorts eyeshadow, Surf USA eyeshadow, Beach Blonde eyeshadow, and Naturely Encentric Lipstick! Here is the look I got using ALL of the times I have bought!

Here I will show you step by stey how to get this look! =)

First start off and apply your cream white eyeshadow. I used covergirl shadowblast because well I want to get rid of that thing =P But I would use NYX cream eyeshadow stick in Milk or Cottage Cheese!

 Next you apply MAC Beach Blonde eyeshadow (From MAC Surf Baby Collection) in the corner/tear duct of your eye and pull it about 1/4th of the way.

 Now apply MAC Surf USA eyeshadow (From MAC Surf Baby Collection) the rest of the eye which should be about 3/4ths of the way. Once you apply this blend very well and use a crease brush to get the details nice and GREAT! Then apply MAC short shorts (From MAC Surf Baby Collection) underneath your eyebrow!

 Now fix your eyebrows using a eyebrow color that is closest to your eyes, I used a soft black lightly. Then apply some eyeliner to the lower eyelashes. Then apply MAC naturaly Encetric Lipstick (From MAC Surf Baby Collection) WA-LA you are done!

Flawless Skin Maybelline

So today I will show you guys what I use and now I capture flawless skin that looks like a Barbie Doll! I use only two items from Maybelline New York. Items that I use are Maybelline Dream Matted Mousse and Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse. You can purshaces these items at Walmart or a corner drug store!

I never used a Cream/Liquid foundation for AWHILE (pratically all of the ones Ive tried felt like I was putting a mask on my face!) My friend was like "Omg you have to try this foundation out!" So I did and I'm in love with it. Just like the cover says its a  "Ultra-Hydrating, Cream-Wipped Foundation" It really feels like a nice cooling splash to your face and drys like nothing is there! You can wear this all day and will forget about you ever putting a foundation on! I rate this product 1-5, FIVE STARS! It's amazing! You may just purshace the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse just to save some extra money, But if you are like me and in the summer time get red spots or dark spots on your face, then getting the Maybelline Dream Matted Mousse is a great primer for ANYTHING you want to cover up, then adding the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse makes your skin more textured and flawless/smooth finish! During Summer time I use both. In winter I only use the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse.

Here are the items that I use:

Maybelline Dream Matted Mousse

 Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse

 Here are both items next to each other for the size differences

How to use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse:
To apply just like how I do, all you need for the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse is your fingers! (Or you may use a makeup sponge or foundation brush.) I use my fingers because it does the job good enough and you dont have to worrie about cleaning a brush later. lol So all you have to do is wipe just a little bit of foundation on your fingers (or other type of applicator you want to use) and put on your "T" area, under eyes on your cheeks, and chin! (A little goes a long way!) Then you buff out and spread out evenly with your fingers in circle motions. Wa-La your base is done!

How t use Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse:
When you open up the top half you will see a makeup sponge where you can apply this foundation to your face. If you dont want to use it you may use anything to your liking. (I use the sponge) Next you will twist of the top and do a light sweep motion grabbing a little bit to your sponge or brush and then apply! (A little goes a long way!) When you apply it, pat the foundation on your face and spread out evenling. This will leave your skin nice and flawless, once the makeup foundation drys (which is fast) you will feel like nothing is on your face! =)

Here is the finish products on my face =)

Hope you all try this out! I know you will not be disappointed!
