Continuing VIB rouge haul and review!

So recently I received an email from Sephora telling me that I only had $134 left until December 31st to continue being VIB Rouge! The moment I read that I B-lined straight to Sephora. The inner make up junkie was desperate to continue her VIB status.

The first thing I new needed when I got to Sephora was a new Benefit they're real! push-up liner. I just ran out, and this is always my go to. This stuff does not a budge. It goes on very smooth and it looks the same by the end of the day every time!

While I was in the Benefit isle, I decided to go ahead and pick up their Roller Lash mascara. I never tried it and I have only heard good things about it, and of course what I heard was right. I never doubted it, all of Benefits mascara is perfect, but the Roller Lash is amazeballs. This stuff is magic! one side is like a regular brush to get the volume, and the other side is a tiny brush so you can get close to the waterline, get the volume, and get that beautiful curl!

Right next to the Benefit isle is the Make Up Forever line. I love this line. Its perfect for up and coming amateur make up artists. They have everything you could ever possibly want to do SFX make up to just normal every day make up. I picked up some of Make up Forevers Step 1 Skin Equalizer primer. Not only does this stuff smell amazing, but it perfectly evens out your skin for a flawless base for application. 

While there, I decided to pick up some Nars Radiant Concealer. I have seen so many good reviews online for this product, but when I got home and tried it, I was that impressed. I got a color that was lighter than what I normally get so I can use it has highlight, but it does not do a good job of concealing. 

So recently I also ran out of my Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil so I went ahead and got another one. This this is life. I would be lost without this to fill in my eyebrows. 10/10.

We all know that Kat Von D makes amazing make up, especially when it comes to her Everlasting Liquid Lipstick. It rocks. So I went ahead and picked up her color Exorcism. I watched it on my hand and it looked like this beautiful burgundy color thats perfect for the winter holidays, but when I got home and tried it on my lips and it came out more brown. I definitely still plan on wearing it all the time. Just a little bummed that its more brown than maroon. 



So when you walk into Sephora they like to display all
their new products right when you walk in. The first thing that immediately got my attention was the Egg Pore. Its a blackhead steam balm that is from Tony Moly. I have used this a couple times, and i definitely love it. It also comes in this super cute egg shape container!

The other thing they had on display was BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Rose Gold. I have never tried anything from BECCA, and I have needed a really awesome highlighter, and this does the trick. It perfectly highlights everything on my face and my spear just got the BECCA line so I definitely will be going back for more colors.

Standing in line to pay out, I see that they had these super cute tiny bottles of Bumble and Bumbles pret-a-powder, and I have been dying to try it. I haven't tried it yet but I definitely will tell you guys when I do!

Lippie Review: ColourPop Lippie Stix

Colour pop is a brand that is only based online. I found them through a youtube channel, because one of the beauty gurus that I follow religiously had a video of her swatching like a million of these lip pie stix, and I was immediately hooked. They're are based in Los Angeles, and there lip products have the smoothest, creamiest formulas for the low price of 5 dollars. I ended up buying 8 of their colors, but as soon as pay day comes, I will be buying more!!

The first color I swatched for you guys is called Lumière. It is a very beautiful matte, pinky nude, and it practically goes with everything. The formula in their matte colors are nondrying and super pigmented! (By the way, I am not wearing any make up in this picture, so I am sorry for the bare skin!!)




The second one is in the color Gossip. Gossip is a satin formula. Its not quite matte, and there is still some shine to it, but the pigment is still wonderful! As you can tell, its a light pinky color that will be perfect for this upcoming spring!!



The third color is Punky. This one is a more pinky coral and its another satin finish! I am not really into coral colors that much at the moment, but when I saw the swatches online I instantly fell in love with it!!



The fourth one is Heart On. More on the purply pink side of things and it is in a matte finish.



The fifth color is Bossy. I looooove this one. The name is what really pushed me to buy it in the first place. All I can picture when wearing it is being the huge executive in a tight pencil skirt and blouse with this color on my lips! It is also in a matte finish.



Now this one is in the color Flawless. Everytime I go down town on the weekends to dance with my friends I immediately reach for this color. If you know me, you know that I am absolutely in love with dark purples and red. This is in a satin finish, and it seriously stays on all night without any problem.



The seventh color is in LBB. It is in a matte finish, and its another purply red color. I love this color for when I am at work or just hanging out. Its such a pretty color and it lasts all night!!



The last color I got was Bichette. First of all, love the name, and second, looooove the color. This is the perfect dark red for me, and it seriously looks great on every skin tone. When I wear this to work, every single one of my co workers as to put it on, and they all look great in it!!



This is the perfect affordably lipstick to buy. Even if you are a little iffy about buying make up online like I am, I say go ahead and just do it. packaging is safe, free shipping starts at 30 dollars, and the they're are all completely amazing products with amazing color pay off.

Weird Questions Tag

So I thought it would fun to do a weird questions tag, just so you guys can get to know the VERY weird side of me!

#1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?
Stinky. Apparantly, as a baby, I always had a poopy diaper. So ever sense, they have called me that!
#2. What's a weird habit of yours?
Well, I bite my nails. I can't really think of any that are weirder than that!
#3. Do you have any weird phobias?
My biggest phobia, would be if I were to fall in the shower and get knocked out, and having my parents see me naked.

#5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
My  biggest pet peeve, would probably be people who don't really listen to authority. I have a huge issue with a lot of people I work with because they just don't listen, and when they don't listen everything just falls to pieces.
#6. What's one of your nervous habits?
Whenever I get nervous, I tend to bite my nails. And when I do bite my nails, I bite them until they bleed. I know gross, but its an awful habit. I hate because I love painting my nails and doing fun designs but I can only do so much with short nails.

My first stuffed animal was Baby Bop from Barney. I took her everywhere with me.

#10. What's a beauty rule you preach, but never actually practice?
Trim your hair every six weeks. I hate getting my hair cut. I always get so bored just sitting there, so I try to space how getting a hair cut so I don't have to endure being bored!

I face with my back towards the water. 
#12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'?
hmmm, not that I know of!

No top, and shorts!

Princess Tag!

This is a good tag. Its all your favorite brand name beauty products, and I have A LOT. So lets get started!

1) First and for most, I have to start with the Lolita palette by Marc Jacobs.
This is my favorite palette in the entire world! It has all the perfect neutrals, and every time I wear people are complimenting my eyeshadow! It stays on all day, and doesn't even come close to creasing. 

2) Buxom Foundation
This stuff is the only brand name foundation that I can use. It doesn't feel heavy on my face, and the coverage is perfect for my skin.
3) Skinflash Radiance Booster pen
I adore this stuff. It makes any dark circles disappear, and make my eyes pop! 
4) NARS Guy Bourdin Blush Palette
I LOVE THIS BLUSH PALETTE. Its fantabulous. four blushes, one highlighter, and one bronzer. Whats great about this palette, it comes with Orgasm and Laguna, and thats everybody's favorite blush and bronzer! It has a blush for every season, and the bronzer is good for whatever time. 

5) Urban Decay liquid eye liner in Perversion
This is the only liquid eye liner I feel comfortable using. Its great for thin lines, thick lines, any lines! Just, don't get it in your eye. It will burn FOREVER. 
6) They're Real! Benefit Cosmetics Mascara
When I have this around, this is the only mascara I use. It makes my eye lashes look almost fake. Its a fantastic product. It doesn't clump, and run, and it makes your lashes long long and thick. 
So sadly, I decided to just cut it off there. I have way to many, and I didn't want this to get out of control! I hope you guys enjoyed it though!

Day 27 - Favorite Nail Polish

My favorite nail polish has to be the new Marc Jacobs nail polish line. My two favorite colors are Gatsby, and Daisy. Yes, part of it is because of the names, but Gatsby is a beautiful rose gold color, and Daisy is more of an off white pearl color. They are fantastic nail polishes, they last very long, and they look great even with one coat on!

Luvocracy

So I just took a hold on my Luvocracy account, and cleaned it up a little bit! I suggest every body go take a look at it! I have a bunch of home decor and beauty products I would like to try on there, and maybe you guys could get an idea or something!

Day 25 - An Item from Your Wish List

Easily, the Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain. They don't sell this at the Sephora near me, and I couldn't be anymore upset. This stiff is super pigmented, and beautifully, and its the only stuff that doesn't bother me when it is on my lips. If only they had it! I would own every color!

Day 24 -What do you Want to Get from your Favorite Online Beauty Shop?

Its funny that this is the question, because I was recently watching a youtube make up tutorial and they mention a product from BH Cosmetics. 
The BH Cosmetics, Forever Nude palette. It comes with six eyeshadows, two blushes, two lip colors, and a highlighter. I am obsessed with it. I have kept the tab on my computer open since I have watched that video! Next pay check, I will definitely be buying this.

Hits and misses on the Red Carpet

Alright ladies, it was that fantastic time of year again. Of course, I'm talking about the Oscars!! One of the things I adore doing every year, is reviewing the Red Carpet fashion. All the hits and misses, its such a great past time!

1) Lupita Nyong'o
Man, did she hit it out of the park! She wore a custom Prada dress, with a gold and diamond Fred Leighton hand band. I am obsessed with this dress. The way it flows as she walks and how it shapes her body is something every girl needs in there life. I have always been a fan of the dress that makes you look like you are floating on thin air, and this dress is exactly that!

2) Jennifer Lawrence
Not only is she my all time favorite actress, but her fashion on the red carpet the last couple years have always been a favorite for me. This year at the Oscars she's wore a peplum gown by Dior. The contrast of orange to her skin tone is absolutely flawless, and its nice to see her in something that isn't a ball gown and more form fitting! 

3) Emma Watson
Every time I think of Emma Watson, all I can think about is Harry Potter. So when I see her in the real world, I am constantly shocked at how sexy she is. This year she wore a beautiful black gown from Vera Wang. 

4) Elsa Pataky
Can we talk about how beautiful and radiant she looks pregnant?! Man, is she rocking that Elie Saab gown on the red carpet!

5) Lady Gaga
Holy yes. I was shocked to see that Lady Gaga showed up in something completely normal! She wore a pink and metallic gown by Versace, and she made that dress look absolutely stunning. The way it hugs her curves just suits her perfectly. 

6) Liza Minnelli 
Alright guys, its time to talk about the misses. And Liza is sadly one of them. Nothing about her outfit is flattering. As much as I hate to say it, this was one of the worst outfits on the Red Carpet. 

7) Sally Hawkins
Sally Hawkins dress was very overwhelming. She is young, and beautiful and could of taken every advantage of showing it off. Instead she chose to cover everything up, and have way too much going on. 



Brand Review; Too Faced

I especially love Too Faced for the soul purpose of their make up that smells like chocolate. Anything chocolate, and I am all over it in seconds. Now, my favorite of course, are the Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer, and the Chocolate Bar Eye Palette.

Even though, each of these products are made out of cocoa, they are super pigmented and they go on very smooth. I was really worried at first because I didn't really think something made out of chocolate was going to last long and probably break me out HORRIBLY, but when I got home and started using them I was pleasantly surprised. Other than their bronzer and eye shadow, Too Faced makes a very good lip stain and lip stick. I am the kind of girl who is into very pigmented lip colors. I don't exactly like the whole sheer look. So when I first tried these products and became instantly obsessed. Perfectly pigmented and relatively cheap for brand name products.

Too faced is a very good brand, from their foundation to their mascara. I definitely suggest investing in these products.


Day 21 - Favorite LipStick

I don't normally wear lipstick, but when I do I go for a bold lip more than anything else. My favorite lipstick right now is MAC's Girl About Town.

Now, if you know me, you know that I love anything pink. When it comes to lipstick, I only choose pink. Girl About Town is the perfect color. Its bold, and goes perfectly with my skin tone. Every time I need to wear lip stick and immediately reach for this lip stick!

Day 20 - Favorite Mascara

EASILY, my favorite mascara is the CoverGirl BombShell mascara. This stuff ROCKS. It has one end for volume, and the other side is for length, and let me tell ya, I only need one coat of each and my eye lashes are already looking like they grew a couple inches. Its seriously fantastic, but recently I have re-bought Maybellines lash Stiletto and I forgot how amazing this stuff is. So I guess I really have two mascaras because I wear both of them at the same time, every time!
