Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows

Maybelline has a new line of cream eyeshadows, which is part of thier eye studio line. I just happened to stumble upon them about a week and a half ago. I only grabbed 2 at first, just to try them out, I got Pomegranate Punk and Tough and Taupe. As soon as I used them I instantly fell in love. They're pretty near the same as MAC pain pots, they have the same consitancy. They are a fairly thick cream,almost like a concealer, which I love. Everyday I use MAC's painterly or rubenesque paint pot as my eye shadow bade. Since I have bought these they are all I've been using, I still love paint pots and will continue to use them, however I more then likely will not re purchase them, with the exception of painterly as there is no color similar to it in this collection.

There are 10 colors in the collection, I currently only have 6 of them, but definitley plan to buy some more. With the exception of a nude color, they pretty well have every color you could need for a base. They do claim these are 24 hour wear, I don't know why anyone would need thier make up to last that long so I have no opinion on that claim, but I can wear them all day for about 10 hours and have absolutley no problem with them creasing. At about $7 each you can buy three of these for the price ofone MAC paint pot and get the same results.

( Tough as Taupe, painted purple, Pomegranate Punk, Audacious Asphalt, Bad to the Bronze)

(I bought this after I took the other pictures, Tenacious Teal )

Revlon Lip Butters

I know this will be an old topic to many, but I have to post about the Revlon Lipbutters. I had to wait for these for nearly a month after I first heard about them on youtube, and I was SO excited when I finally found them here at a grocery store. They are definitley worth all the hype, I absoltely love them. I'm not personally that into lip products, its definitley what I have least of in my make-up collection, by quite a bit. These are now my go to lip product. I don't have the whole collection, although I'm sure I will end up with most of them eventually.

( creme brule, sugar frosting, cotton candy, strawberry shortcake, raspberry pie, sugar plum)

In my opinion they are a lipstick that is more moisturizing then most. Some people have been disappointed with the moisture level, but I think they were expecting more of a tinted lip balm which this definitley isn't. My favorites are definitley cotton candy and sugar plum they're what I use as everyday go to colors.

Happy New year!

So, it would appear that I fell off the face of the earth. We had been so busy the past 2 monhs I had next to no time for blogging or videos. However now that the new year is here I'm making it a point to get back into it. I have a few new products Im excited to talk about, and Im hoping to get a blog post up either later tonight or tomorrow. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New year!

Lately Ive been doing a lot of makeup buying from Sephora and MAC (wtih the exception of elf and stuff from Cherry culture, but that still has to be shipped) so Im trying to get stuff from Wal-Mart or Shoppers when I get that urge to get or try something new, because lets face it Im not rich so if I can get good things for cheaper im certainly going to try it.

First product Im going to talk about is a blush from hard candy, its called honeymoon. Its this peachy/pink color with some shimmer through it.Its suck apretty color when I tried it the first time I knew I was going to love it. It goes on fairly sheer just enough to give youa little pop of color on your cheeks to brighten your face up. Theres a really nice sheer shimmer through it, it gives you a really beautiful shimmer if your cheek hits the light the right way. I dont like shimmer when it just looks way too much and unnatural. When I wear this blush I dont use a highlighter on my cheeks becaause its just way too much for me, which is kind of nice because then I can skip that step.

Next is a single eye shadow from Cover Girl and its called tapestry toupe. I love doing a nice neautral eye, its pretty much my go to look for everyday beforework,I have a lot of various neautral browns/toupes/ gold for some reason I can never resist buying new ones even when I have a color thats so similar you would hardly notice the difference when its on, oh well at least this one was cheap. Its a really pretty toupe and I can definitley see myself reaching for this quite frequantly especially when I need a quick look before work.

Next is a quad from maybelline and its called Purple Icon. I admitI am asucker for anything that is purple. It is by far my favorite color I almost always have something purple on me weather it be clothes, nail polish or eye shadow. So needless to say when I was looking around at Wal-Mart and seen this I had to pick it up.

Finally I picked up 2 palettes from Wet N Wild, Comfort zone and Blue had me at Hello. Id often seen the display for Wet N Wild but never paid much attention, I figured if it was that cheap it couldn't be very good. Then I started hearing lots of people talking about them on youtube, so I decided to pick them up. Imust say Im very impressed, theres 8 colors in each palette and Id say 6 out of 8 are really good and very pigmented.

New video!

Hey everyone! I finally made my way over to the world of videos on youtube, I only have one up now so its a work in progress, Im hoping to get a haul/review of most of my new purchases up in the near furture with my first one up now, so please check it out and let me know what you think!

A little somethin' new

Hey everyone long time no post! I can now say that Im married!! Which has explained my lack of posting anything, Im going to make a seperate post about the wedding, Im just waiting to get some good pictures back to add in the post. Anyways back to some make up, Ive bought some new elf stuff and nyx from hautelook, Ive got more coming but I figured Id put them in seperate posts, so it wasnt too much all at once. Ill start of with Elf;

I got a brush set (the black brushes, I put some of my other good ones in with it), a blush and bronzer duo, 2 blushes, an eye shadow palette and some mattifying powder and a concealer quad. I must say these are myfirst elf products and I am very pleased. The price is so fantastic that even if some of the products arent the most pigmented or use up quickly it almost dosent even bother me. this whole order I think came to 45 dollars and that wasonly because of the brushes. Here another close up of some products;

Now on to my Nyx products Ive always wanted to try them but then dontship to Canada so when I seen them on Hautelook I had to go for them and get some, the only thing I dont like about Hautelook is there shipping takesnearly 3 weeks,oh well.

what I got was 6 jumbo eye pencils which ive always heard such great things about I cant wait to get to try them all. Also an eye shadow palette, a super skinny liquidliner and a slide on eye liner. I havent gotten to use the Nyx products yet as I just got them today so I just played with a few colorson my hand but they seem to all be pigmented and work very well on the skin.

Thats an end to that for now, I believe I have another big elf order on the way as well as something from Sephora im very excited about so look out for a post on those soon! Thanks for reading.

11 days!

We are now down to 11 days until the wedding! I'm so excited, and finally starting to get a little nervous. I mean Im not nervous at all about being married, I can't wait for that. We've lived together for a year and eight months now, its not like theres going to be a huge change in our everday life. What Im most nervous about is doing everything in front of nearly 100 people! I hate being the centre of attention so Im ggoing to have a hard time that day, Im also dreading our speeches like the plague! Me and public speaking aren't a good mixture, Ryan hates it as much as I do.

Its getting to the point now where we have so many little nit picky things left to do, I have no desire to even do it. Ive been putting off doing our programs now for about a week :/ Im going to have to get going and get them sent to the copy place or we wont have them in time. Also need to get going with our wedding favors, and making sure everything we have gets to the hall on time with nothing breaking or getting lost or misplaced, should be quite the hectic week to come!
