This is the one thing I wanted the most and my aunt bought it for me :). I loooove everything about it! THe shadows are so pigmented! I have one of the colors in my other KVD palette but I don't mind having a back up of that one. THe rollerballs are good the scent it not bad they smell a lil bit spicy like me :P. I may wear the lashes for New Yrs Eve :).


TRADE SECRET BEAUTY EXPRESS palette

I never ever seen this palette or brand but I love it. It has a nite side and day side. The colors are pretty and pigmented! I can't wait to use it!

M.A.C. 210 Brush

Photobucket

My sister knows how much of an eyeliner whore I am and got me this :). I've used it and it's AMAZING it makes doing cat liner easier for me !


Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadows in NOT JUST NUDES

Photobucket

I always wanted this and I might be super late in getting it ahha. I haven't tried them out yet just swatched them but the colors are great! I heard mixed reviews that they crease and then say don't crease but I'll see how they work out for me.

REVLON Satin Eye Shadow in Shimmering Sienna

Photobucket

I been looking for a copperish/redish shadow and I finally found it! :) I looove the texture of this shadow its soo "silky". I didn't know Revlon made these. I been missing out. I was gonna get MACs Coopering but not anymore after buying this one.

M.A.C. Dark Diversion Fluidline

M.A.C. Chromagrapic Pencil

I was anxiously waiting to the Cham pale and Stylish Yours collections to get these! I love dark diversion fluidline. I've been wanting to get a burgundy/purpleish/brownish color liner/base. I also wanted that pencil cause its so versatile!! It's amazing! :)


I hope you gals enjoyed my haul! :) I'll probably do more in depth reviews on stuff once I try them out. If you want to know about something specific let me know :))).

I hope everyone has a great week and I can't wait for New Years Eve :)))

Been a while...

since I posted something :x.

Well, got over finals week and passed all my classes :) which I thought at least one I wasn't but glad I did! :)

Got a haul to share!

CCO Trip In Nevada

Mineralize Blush in Light Over Dark

Photobucket

Photobucket

The color does look kinda scary but light on the cheeks it gives you a nice tan look :). It might even look good as shadows :p

MAC Glitter in Reflects Rust
Photobucket

I loove glitter but I don't have much :(. I saw this and fell in love its such a nice red/rusty color! Not sure how I will use it...I think its not eye safe but that is not gonna stop me :p.

Rite Aid

Wet N Wild Trio in Knock on Wood (aahhaa I mostly got this cause I love that song)

Photobucket

Photobucket

I like this palette. The colors blend well, I wish the Brow bone color would be a lil more pigmented.

Wet N WIld Ultimate Minerals Bronzer in Amber Glow

Photobucket

ginabinawina99 had a video comparing WNW Amber Glow to MAC Stereo Rose and she mention how it was a very close dupe! I love this, this is one of my go to items in the moment. I can't personally say if it is very similar but from swatches from ppl seems like a very close enough.

That's all I have for tonight!

I can't wait for xmas :). It's been raining here since last Thursday! It's crazy I saw that sun today ahah I forgot how it actually looked liked. I am just glad I was able to stay home and enjoy it all.

Hope all of you have an AWESOME XMAS and get all the stuff you guys wanted! :) I hope I do.

Elf update

-Contouring blush and bronzing powder.

I really wanted to like this...I do like the bronzing part but the blush not so much :/. It swatches well on my hand but when I put on the blush on my cheek I didn't get as much color in and a got a BUNCH of shimmer. Maybe it will be better for highlight? The only way I use it is if I mix the both colors together. Maybe my skin tone is not for it. Either way I will still use it. The mirror is huge and the blush and the bronzer together does look good. I will continue my search for that peachy color blush!

Photobucket

I love this! It is a very good eye primer. It's not drying and it glides on your eye well. No creasing for me and a little will go a long way. It does smell kinda funky but other than that it is good for 3 dollars! :)

Photobucket

+++ on this brush. I love it; packs on shadow well. Very impressed since I didn't really like the C brush from their studio Line. For a dollar its really a steal :).

Photobucket

ok, I was hoping this would be a good eye liner brush to apply eyeliner on my lid and do a wing...

The bristles are too flimsy for doing any cat eye or top liner... for me at least. I will use this more for eyebrows or even applying gel liner on the waterline.

Photobucket

This is a good primer! It leaves my face feeling like silk and makes my foundation application easier. When I used this I had dry spots on my face and I used it a couple times and the dry spots went away :). When I first use it I felt it was toooooooo oily and it scared me a bit but after I put it on my face it but it didn't feeling oily at all.

Photobucket

Good- it spot cleans my brushes to were I can use them again with out doing a full deep shampoo cleaning.

Bad- It smells and the smell stays in the brushes afterward.

The smell like really cheap perfume. I don't mind it as much because it does the job.

Photobucket

LOVE this brush!!! soft and it applies blush really well. Very cheap alternative for any flat brush out there.

This is only the stuff I used to far. I have yet to try the rest of the stuff I got.

SO far, I like my purchases! Yea, there were somethings that didn't work out for me but I found another way to use it so it wasn't that much of a fail.

I will do a part two soon.

I hope everyone had a good weekend :) I went to Boulder, NV for the weekend and you all know what that means...I went to the CCO :) i'll do a post about it later.
