I’ve bought a few things I’d like to share since my dilema with my webhost. Since then my makeup collection grew more and more and I’m thinking when will I ever wear any of these stuff or if I’ll ever where them at all. One thing I’m really bad at is picking out the right colors. The color might look pretty on the package, but not right on me. This goes with anything; blush, gloss, eyeshadows, whatever. That’s why I like to read reviews on a particular product, read beauty blogs especially with pictures of them wearing the product, or watch YouTube videos. I just hate getting lured into buying something and it ends up not working for me. Hey, did you forget I’m a mom? I can’t afford to buy a mistake.. hehe. Here I go, rambling about nothing. Anyway, I went for a little shopping so read on

L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Mica
Rated the Readers Choice according to Allure Magazine, I wanted to find out what the rave was about and decided to buy it. I want to love the color, and it’s creamy too.

Cover Girl Outlast Double Lipshine in Coral Shimmer
I got this for BOGO 50% at Rite Aid and wanted to give this a try. I’m usually a nude/natural lipstick type of girl and rarely wear anything especially coral, but this color looks GAWGEOUS! I gotta say this, I applied it on my hand one night with all the other lipsticks I bought to swatch and went to bed with it and the only one that lasted throughout the night was this one. So it does what it claims to last for 10 hours. It comes with a clear gloss. I love this alot, it’s not gooey or have a bad taste like some lipgloss I’ve experienced.

NYX Lip Pencils and Lipsticks
Thanks to Christiana and her swatches on her blog, she helped me alot in finding the shades that might look good on me. Somehow the colors on online stores (Cherry Culture and Nonpareil Boutique) don’t match up how it looks in person. I mean, these are very pretty colors that I got; B52, Harmonica, Frosted Flakes. And their lip pencils are good too, not too creamy, not too dry, it’s just right (you can buy them at cherryculture.com BOGO free plus you get a free lipgloss with every purchase!) I got them in Current, Toast, Natural and Mauve. I also got Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Yogurt to go with my L’Oreal Eyeshadow Quad in Enchanted Bouquet (watch fafinettex3 for tutorial). I’ll be purchasing more lipsticks, you can go to my shopping list at Kaboodle to view the colors I’m planning on buying.

L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black
The thing I LOVE about L’Oreal is that their Carbon Black is suppose to be more pigmented than their regular black or blackest black. I have their Le Kohl Pencil in Carbon Black and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to any other brands for a black eyeliner. So yeah, I got this mascara for BOGO 50% at CVS. The brush was totally different than my other mascaras, which I’m not too crazy about. It’s more like a comb for your lashes on four sides, like a plus sign. I dunno how to describe it. I love how it extends my lashes though, the color is as black as it can get and with one coat I’m good to go cuz it’s THAT black But I don’t like how the brush sorta makes my lashes stick together, I guess if you like the pixie lash look, this one is for you. I use this with my CG Lash Blast for thickness and this mascara for length.

L’Oreal Eyeshadow Quads in Eva’s Violets
I bought this shade, being that I have brown eyes, it’s suppose to enhance the color of my eyes. It looks sooooo gorgeous on Eva Longoria but not on me Maybe cuz I haven’t perfected the technique in eyeshadow application, but then again the colors were very light. Even the darkest shade doesn’t show much on my lids.

Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette by Sephora in Ludwig
OMF’nG!!!! I can’t remember how I found this beauty but when  I saw this for the first time, I was in love! I was sweatin’ Beethoven at first, and I asked my sister if she saw this and she fell in love with it too. So we decided to splurge and headed over to Sephora. I didn’t know they came out with another color (Ludwig) and decided to buy that one instead, my sis got Beethoven and the lipstick in Lolita, VERY pretty color. I’m probably the last person to ever consider buying eyeshadow palette for $35, but looking at the pretty colors, how could I pass it up? And the packaging is simply gorgeous! Oh!!! You have to look for yourselves and tell me what you think, ain’t it pretty?

Btw, this is how my arm looked after leaving Sephora. I was having fun playing with colors… LOL

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
I’ve heard alot of good things about this and it was displayed in the best sellers section at Sephora, so I decided to jump in the bandwagon and gave it a try. I went out to party one night and I had this on under my Kat Von D eyeshadow. Now I sweat like a pig on the dance floor, not only that, I have the greasiest lids on the planet. My eyeshadow lasted the whole entire night, thanks to this baby. It is definitely magic in a bottle. Below is a pic of that night out attempting to do the robot… LOL.

I wore the greens in this pic

Everyday Minerals
From the samples that I got last month, it is definite that my foundation shades are Olive Medium and Sandy Medium (for when I’m tanned) so I bought the full sizes plus a sample blush in B&B. I also added another free sample kit to my order cuz I wanna try out the different shades of foundation and blush in Apple. I can’t wait to get them in the mail!

CLOTHES
Forever 21
I picked up 3 cute tanktops; 2 for me and one for my sis. They were $4.00 each and a brilliant bargain I might add

Steve and Barry’s
I’ve been wanting to go to this store since I was living in South Jersey so I was excited when I had the chance to go shopping in Long Island but I was a bit disappointed at the items they had in the store, for me at least. I’m very difficult when it comes to shopping for clothes, maybe I haven’t given the store a chance. They were having a sale for $8.98 for everything in the store. I took the opportunity to buy clothes for my kids. Boy they grow up fast! And I got myself a zipped hoodie sweater from SJP line. They fit pretty small so I got it one size bigger. CUTE! 

*WHEW* That’s alot of shopping… LOL. Thanks for reading.
