My Baby Is a Little Fox now!

Hi all,
This has nothing really to do with makeup haha. I just wanted all of you to see my little girl pumpkin after she got her haircut. I have never cut her hair this short!. I thought I would do her a favor though with it being so hot and all. Well I hope you all enjoy the before and after pics of little miss Pumpkin.
Let me know which you guys like better! :D
lots of love! <3

For those of you who don't know, Pumpkin is my bestest little buddy, she is a 2.5 pound pomeranian. I love her to death. I also have 2 other dogs who I will have to do a blog post on soon haha. Let me know what kind of animals you guys have or love!

Mini Sigma Makeup Haul

Hi all,
So I wanted to add more brushes to my collection and I have seen numerous people have the sigma set, they have a black and pink one. Of course me being a girly girl wanted the pink haha. With the brush set I also got their smokey eyes quad.

THE BRUSHES

I definitely love these brushes, they truly are a great addition to my collection and best of all they are PINK! haha, Included is a large powder brush, A stippling brush, angled brush, foundation brush,concealer brush, blending brush, two eyeliner brushes, flat brush, shadow brush, and a pencil brush, I don't know all the specific names for them yet. haha bear with me. Not only are there a wide variety of brushes but, they also come in this great soft almost like a faux sued or leather case or something. This was a great buy.



Smokey Eyes Quad

I bought this quad in hopes to achieve that perfect sexy smokey eye look, Just as the pictures show on their site. When I got this item the eye shadows come in their own little compacts then you just pop them out and put them into the quad compact given. I personally find this a bit of a waste cause I know for a fact that I will never use those little compacts again which is a shame cause they are so darn cute. Getting to the eye shadows, I love the color of these shadows, but personally they are way to sparkly for my liking. Out of the four the "Paint It Black" is definitely my favorite. However this quad would really work if you were going out to a club or something but other than that just way to sparkly. Another thing about it that I didn't really like was the smell of the shadows. It is a really overwhelmingly powerful flowery smell. Maybe some like that, but I really don't. Overall I somewhat like the quad and intend on using it up, but I will not be making a re-purchase.

Pros
-Good for nightclub look.
Cons
-To sparkly
-Smell is way to flowery
-Need to apply a lot for color to show good.

Murad Sensitive Acne Skin Care UPDATE

Hi all,
Just an update on the Murad skin care system I have been using, just as I promised I would do.
So I am not even going to give a breakdown on each of the creams and gels that go on my face with this line like I said i would before. Its not even worth it. I am returning the stuff today. It has not only made my face breakout worse that it ever has in my life, but it has been making my face have an allergic reaction lately. This stuff has also also caused my pores to open up so much, I got large amounts of black heads as well as white heads under my eyes and around my nose. I have decided to go back to my previous skin care routine where I used Neutrogena's SkinID. DO NOT WASTE your money on this product (murad). I spent well over 200$ and this is what happened. So just wanted to warn you all to not make the same mistake I did.

Enjoy!

MURAD IS A DUD

FOTD..Red Lip Smitten

Hi all!
For today I really wanted to do a soft eye and a red lip look. For the eyes I used Coastal Scents 88 Metal Mania Palette. I love this palette. There are SO many looks you can accomplish with it. I have numbered the colors in the order they were used.
#1- This is just a really soft cream shade that I put all over my lid from upper lash line to my eyebrow for a base.
#2- This is a white shimmery color that I used for my brow highlight as well as the highlight for the inner corners of my eyes. I also used this color once the darker colors were on. I put it just on my lid making sure not to touch the crease where the darker colors are.
#3- This is a light brown/taupe color. I took some on my pencil brush from mac and worked the color into my crease then blended it out.
#4- This color is a dark brown/taupe color. I took a small fluffy brush and worked this color along my crease as well and blended it out. I also took this color on my pencil brush and lined my lower lash line. However I only took the color from the outer corner of my eye to the center.

ENJOY!!



Coastal Scents 88 Metal Mania Palette



Mac Viva Glam Cyndi

All I did for my lips was put some lip balm on and this lipstick. This is the only red lipstick I find that looks good on me. I love it so much that its the only lipstick I have a double for!!




Cover Girl's Lash blast Lengthening Mascara (Black)

I do not wear fake lashes I have very long lashes and find no need to wear fake ones. I really like this mascara. At first I didn't really, but I find I am like that with all mascaras. For some reason they go on weird when I first get them but after a week or so the texture of the product seems to change and I love it. This goes for all mascaras with me. For now this is my absolute favorite. It grabs every lash and lengthens it beyond belief. :D



Scary close up of my face :D hehe

My Nail Flower Attempt

Hi all,
So the other day I was just looking around at tutorials on youtube and I came across this girl who does amazing designs on her nails! So i thought i would start out small and try to do a couple of the flowers she does. So after lots of work this is as close to her flowers i could get.... I hope with practice I will get better :D However with that being said I love these flowers on bare nails or clear nail polish, They are just TOO GIRLY :D

ENJOY



HERES THE PRODUCTS

OPI NAIL ENVY- NAIL STRENGTHENER



I love this product. I used this for a base before drawing the flowers. Then after they were drawn i used it as a top coat to seel in the design. This stuff really makes your nails stiff and strong.

SALLEY HANSEN- #52



I used this color to create the flower peddles. I took the nail brush and just made four little dots. I then took a toothpick and dragged it through the center of each peddle and dragged it towards the center of the four peddles. This gives the four dots the look of a flower peddles. I then took a white nail polish and dabbed a dot of it in the middle.


Well this concludes my attempt to make cute little flower designs :D

Murad Sensitive Acne Skin Care System

Hi all,
Just a quick update on my new skin care routine. I unfortunately have mild acne prone and sensitive combination skin. My recent skin care routine was from neutrogena's skin care line called skinID. I found that the skinID system worked fairly well for me, but like most i am in constant search for that perfect skin care system that will give me flawless skin. So long story short, I have purchased murad's sensitive acne skin care regime. I have been using it for a little over a week now and havn't noticed much improvement. However most skin care lines say, as does this one, that it does get worse before it gets better, so thats what i am waiting on. So in another few weeks i will give a full review on each cream and gel that goes on my face from this line and if it has in fact worked.
ENJOY!

KORRES LIP BUTTER

Hi all, I had a great subscriber ask me a question about the korres lip butter and how the color looks when applied. So i thought what the heck i will just put up some swatches of the three korres lip butters i have. I own the colors, Jasmine, Pomegranate and Quince. Overall i really like these lip butters, but honestly i cant wear them by themselves. I always have to have a lipstick underneath them. I don't know what it is, I just don't like the feel of them on my lips.
ENJOY! :D

NUDE LIP



KORRES LIP BUTTER - JASMINE

This color is really close to the color of my natural lips but i put it over all of my nude lipsticks to give it that perfect shine and moisture.
