Marc Jacobs- The Lolita Palette

I had been wanting this palette for everrr but couldn't justify the price so when i got the sephora 20% off i decided to finally buy it for myself. And oh boy, it's gorgeous but the fallout! I decided the use the glittery shade in the middle one day and after i was left with my whole face full of glitter so i had to take off my face makeup and do it again- lesson learned. If you're willing to deal with the fall out, it really is a gorgeous palette. The glittery shade is my favorite, it just gives you that perfect glitter eye. But i think this is more of a palette you would buy if you just want something nice because you can for sure find cheaper alternatives that do as well of a job, such as the too faced chocolate bar palette (fav!) I gotta say what really attracted me to this palette was the sleek packaging, it's really lovely and a perfect palette to travel with.

Black Friday - Sephora Pick ups

I had to work on Black Friday so i didn't think i would be able to buy any of the great deals, but when i got home i decided to go onto the sephora website (as per usual) to browse around. I usually stalk their website especially their gift sets. I went onto their $10 and under link to look at stocking stuffers and saw these beauties and started freaking out and bought these two. I was going to buy all that they were offering but decided to be realistic and just buy what i needed/has been wanting. I had been wanting to try more nest fragrances ever since i got their Midnight Fleur 250 point perk. So when i saw these i immediately added them to my cart, and then the first aid beauty cleanser is one of my favorites so when i saw this set it also went into my cart. Now after trying the first aid beauty ultra repair cream i think it is also going to become one of favorites, it is so lovely. I now regret not getting two of these sets because it really is a great value the ultra repair cream by itself is $12! I'm looking forward to next years Black Friday sephora sale!

Charlotte Tilbury Small Haul

I have been wanting this bag ever since i started seeing it all over UK beauty blogs but being from America i couldn't get a hold of it. So when i heard that Charlotte Tilbury was coming in the fall i couldn't be more excited. I was wanting pretty much everything in her range but unfortunately i can not afford everything so a little at the time! I opted for her makeup bag which is gorgeous, and so simple! And then her lipstick in bitch please (love the name). The bag i absolutely love, the lipstick on the other hand is kind of meh. It is kind of drying but not so bad, i think I'm just used to really moisturizing lipsticks. So as long as a pair this with a lip gloss on top i love it, or if not a really moisturizing balm on bottom. I look forward to trying her other products, i have sights set on her powder next.

September 2014 PopSugar Must Have Box

So after seeing everyone else reviewing the must have box for September i decided to sign up for it (mostly because of the pretty scarf!). I gotta say the box i absolutely love, the scarf is so soft and pretty! And who doesn't love chocolate! The brownie was kinda good too! And i am a stationary lover so the cards and pencils were awesome! The headphones i gotta say went straight out of my box and into my brother's hands, but i didn't really need any. I also has a $20 nike gift card which is amazing because i am in dire need of need shoes (hopefully i can use that). And i've been wanting to try oribe for ever but the products are uber expensive so awesome and it smells really good too! So overall i really do recommend this subscription box, it's only $39.95 and the scarf by itself was worth $125. Sign up here. And use the coupon code REFER5 to get $5 off your first box:)

One thing i do have to complain about is that i didn't get this box until October 6, but i think it's because they are fixing their website so hopefully they get that fixed soon.

Sephora Haul - VIB Rouge

 So i did a little shopping at sephora the other day.... and finally reached rouge! Exciting!
I had been wanting the dior hydra life bb cream ever since i got their dior skin nude bb cream (which was a bit too orange-y for my skin) and got a sample of this one. I also got the clinique clearing gel because i got a sample of it and oh my gosh! this really works for me. As soon as i feel a monster coming on i put a little bit of this on it and by morning it is pretty much gone. I also got the ysl lipstick in 3 beige ultimate because i was wanting a ysl lipstick in a color that i will use as an everyday. Love this color. And then free with purchase i got thebareminerals best in show which comes with the eyeshadows that i have been wanting the top shelf duo.  

Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette

So i got a $10 coupon from Ulta the other day and of course couldn't let that go to waste. So i went into Ulta not knowing what to buy and this palette caught my eye, it wasn't something i was dying to have but i decided to give it a try (mainly because they would give me a gift with purchase of the melted lipstick in peony - which i have been wanting to try). This palette is originally $36 but i got it for $23 because of my $10 coupon and then i had $3 in reward points (love ulta!).

My thoughts: meh! It is really pretty and i have been using it the past few days, but it is not something i absolutely couldn't live without. I prefer the too faced chocolate bar palette.
Now for the melted lipstick in peony i did not like at all, i don't know if its just the color i got but it just doesn't work with my skin tone and it is really drying on my lips.

Sephora Haul.

Sephora sucked me into buying more stuff (not that that's a bad thing) as always with their promotions. They gave you 3 mini's for dad and one for yourself. Yipee! I had been eying the fresh sugar tulip for a few weeks now, and as soon as i saw it in a set i grabbed it. I have yet to try the mask or the toner that are included but ill report back when i do. The face cream i do quite like, it is very light and moisturizing. Since i love the Elizabeth and James Nirvana black so much i decided to order the white and give it a try. I must say i love the black so much more!

Movie Night- August Rush

I recently saw this dvd at big lots for $3 and decided to get it. This movie came out in 2007, such nostalgia! I remember watching this movie and absolutely falling in love with it. After watching it have me this love for music, i remember spending the next week or so listening to classical music and wanting so badly to learn to play an instrument (hasn't happen as of yet).

Now plot wise this is not the greatest, more of an ehh type of movie kind of predictable. But, oh my! the music in this is perfection! I really love the song called This Time sung by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. If anything watch this movie for the music and of course all the good looking male actors (Meyers) and cute little Freddie Highmore!

Face of the Day: Winged Eyeliner

 Today i gave the winged liner a go and eh I'm not the best at it, but i really hope to get better at it. I really like the look it gives my eyes. Oh yes and before i forget to mention i am wearing two different lipsticks in these photos in the top one i am wearing mac see sheer and in the bottom one i am wearing the bobby brown lipstick in Rosy. Why? Cause i felt like it. Ha Ha.

Products Used:

 For my Base today i used the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in the shade 30 Beige. (Favorite foundation ever!) Then i used a bit of the Laura Mercier Mineral Powder in the shade Rich Vanilla around my Tzone for some extra anti-shine protection. I concealed all the uglies in my face with my favorite Nars Creamy Concealer in the shade Custard. For my blush i used my absolute favorite the hourglass blush in luminous flush. Finally i used a bit of the Tarte blush (really looks like a highlight) in angelic as a bit of a highlight.

For my eyes i used my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, i used the shades Marzipan (all over lid) and Salted Caramel (crease). I then curled my eyelashes with my Japonesque curlers, i then proceeded to give winged liner a go with the LORAC front of the line PRO liquid eyeliner. Finally i applied miss manga mascara and filled in my brows with the hourglass brow arch pencil.

Movie Night- About Time!

About time has become one of my favorite films! It is simply beautiful. It is about a clumsy awkward guy (Tim) who finds out that he has the ability to travel through time. Tim now knowing he has this ability decides the best way and only way he will use it is to find a girlfriend for himself. Now one thing i liked is how simple they made the act of traveling through time (all he has to do is be in a dark place and shut his eyes and squeeze his fists), it gives the illusion of this being a norm and helps focus on the real issues in the movie and convey the messages better. This movie isn't just a good ol' regular romantic comedy, it will make you bawl your eyes out and evaluate the way that you are using your time. And i loooved it! 

This has to be my favorite gif on tumblr! I love the movie and isn't that dress just gorgeous! I really loved Rachel Mcadams fashion style in this movie! Oh so cute!

May Favorites

These are some of the things I've been loving lately.

Expert Face Brush, Tangle Teezer, Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black, Mac See Sheer, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush-Luminous Flush, L'oreal miss manga mascara, Hourglass brow sculpting pencil-dark brunette, and Nars radiant creamy concealer-custard

Ever since i got the tangle teezer i haven't looked at any other hair brush again, it is just amazing! Same with the real techniques expert face brush, it is the only brush i consider using for my foundation anymore, perfection! 
When last ordering on the Sephora website i came across the Elizabeth and James Nirvana black 100 point perk and decided to get it, and oh my! am i glad i did. This scent is amazing! It reminds me so much of Tom Ford Black Orchid which I've been wanting forever but haven't brought myself to buying it. After smelling this one i had to try the white version, so it is now on it's way to me from Sephora (oops!).
Earlier this week i wrote a post about the new miss manga mascara and oh my! it's amazing and i've been using it every since!
My two lip favorites are first the Dior lip glow which is so moisturizing and oh so pretty, and is also an item that i have been using ever since i bought it. Then my second lip favorite is a lipstick my mac in the shade see sheer, this is like the perfect shade for summer for me, it's a nice coral-y redish lustre lipstick. 
For cheeks I've been loving the hourglass ambient lighting blush in the shade luminous flush, this just gives me a nice pop of color without making me look like a clown (which can happen a lot with me). 
Finally, the last product i haven't been able to put down is the hourglass arch brow sculpting pencil. This makes filling in my eyebrows so easy! Just one or two swipes and I'm done!

L'oreal - Miss Manga Mascara

So I saw this mascara while at target and i wasn't going to buy it because i just bought a brand new tube of mascara but i keep coming back too it. I swear i passed by the aisle a good 10 times, musta looked crazy. I finally caved and threw it into my cart.

And oh my! I love it! I think this might become my holy grail mascara. It left my lashes so long, and with so much volume! It had minimal clumping, and it's just amazing. It also wasn't impossible to take off my lashes at the end of the day like the benefit they're real, which is almost impossible to remove. I definitely recommend this one.

And we stay- Jenny Hubbard

 

This book, where to start! 

 Okay well lemme give you a quick explanation of what this book is about: Basically the main character Emily Beam is sent to a boarding school after her boyfriend threatened her at gun point and then killed himself in her old school's library. In this new school she starts writing poetry as a mean to cope with what has happen to her. As the story proceeds we find out other things that have happen (but SPOILERS! so i won't discuss that).

We learn the reason behind the Paul's (boyfriend) motives, and ah this book made me feel for that boy! (OH MY FEELS)

Oh my! This book really broke my heart, the poems before scattered around this book are so raw and beautiful and they tell a story of their own, it's as if i was in Emily's mind and got to see what she was feeling. A ride in her shoes i would say. AH! I just loved it! I really recommend this book to anyone reading this. I stayed up late and devoured this book in one sitting, so good!

I've never really been big on poetry, but man reading this book really has me wanting to start reading some poetry. I'm thinking next time i find myself in the bookstore I'm going to buy some poetry books. Emily Dickinson? Recommendations?

Bite - Deconstructed Rose

Swatches on a piece of paper

 

 

My Mac Quad

Top left: Quarry. Top Right: Satin Taupe. Bottom left: Handwritten. Bottom right: Woodwinked.

 

So I'll admit i don't use this as much as i would like, especially after purchasing the too faced chocolate bar palette (so yummy smelling!). The eye shadows however gorgeous and so buttery smooth to apply, and i haven't experienced any fall out at all. I especially love the two top shades together. The bottom two i originally bought to use together but i must not like how they look together since i have hardly used them. But like i said above, i hardly use this since i got my too faced palette just because that one smells like chocolate and who doesn't love to smell chocolate while doing their make up.

It's a 10

So i went to Ulta a few weeks ago during their 21 days of beauty, and if you bought $25 (which i did-easily.lol) they gave you a its a ten miracle leave-in "sample". This however is not a sample, it is the same size as the one they were selling for about $20! I've been using it even since, and oh my! It leaves my hair so soft! I think I'm going to have to go out and buy another one it is so worth the $20!

 

I also bought me the 2 for $15 Butter London nail polishes that day, they also are really amazing. They last about a week on my nails with minor chips.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush- Luminous Flush

Ah! So i ordered this beaut the other day off the sephora website, and to be honest i just ordered it for the pretty packaging and the pretty blush. But as soon as i tried it on i was in loovee! It is such a pretty pink color, it isn't glittery, and it doesn't look like I've been running all day long it's a very natural looking color for me and i loooovee it! I really need to try the ambient lighting powders now and I also have my eye on the hourglass eyebrow pencil.
