Today's Make Up: That "Punk" Is "Toasted"

Hello Thursday all! I am back today! Did y'all miss me the last two days? :D LOL. Well, I am back today, only for a brief moment though because I gotta bounce in a few.
My poor baby cousin was admitted to the hospital yesterday with high fever and was belatedly diagnosed today with Kawasaki disease. Sigh... seeing him in this condition just breaks my heart. :( No child, EVER, should be going through this much pain and discomfort.
Well, here are the simple makeup on the face today. Bare faced with just concealer for the under eyes, neutral eyes with a pop of green and orange, coral lips.

Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad in Bora Bora

Gooooood Tuesday everyone! Hope you're all having a fine, jolly day.
Today's post is all about the Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad in Bora Bora, which I had receive in my March iPsy Bag. I also mentioned in my March iPsy Bag Update that I was going to dedicate a whole post for this product because it deserves it. So here goes.
This is an Eyeshadow Quad called Bora Bora from Be A Bombshell. It consists of four shimmery eyeshadows; all four shades very different from each other.
My initial reaction as soon as I saw this quad was "Oh my gosh, that blue-ish shadow is gorgeous!" And I was right to think so, that shadow is called Bora Bora, also what the whole quad is titled. Meaning it is the main star while the other three are just supporting shadows. I didn't get around to use it maybe after a week or so. I was deathly sick and wearing bold shadows was not worth the effort put forth. Anyways, when I did use it, I was in a series of mixed emotions...? I've used others Be A Bombshell products before and they're all hits for the most part. I went in having high hopes for this quad, but I was also bracing myself if it didn't live up to my expectation.

Today's Make Up: The "Peacock" of "Bora Bora"

It's weekend everyone, it is weekend!! Hi guys! And how are you all doin' ?
Another breezy yet warm day here in the AZ, which I spent out and about. I must say, I dreaded less being out today then yesterday, maybe the fact that the sun was out and warming things up had something to do with it, maybe. Like I said, I am a true Arizonan girl, I like my sun. 8-)
Able to get some sleep last night, I woke up more of less refreshed this morning. I was in the mood to do a full face of makeup today. Yes, less is more and natural beauty is always better but sometimes, sometimes you just gotta glamafy yourself! And that sometimes is today. I felt like spending an hour to myself just applying makeup, that's all; just me, myself and I, alone in my makeup room.

Today's Make Up: Lady And The Vamp

Hello my adventurous blog readers!! How are you all doing this firs Thursday of 2015?
I could be doing better. Would rather be at home, Netflixing it on such a breezy day, but nooooo, instead, I am out chilling at several government offices since morning. LOL. Yeah... my day was THAT bad. Haha. DMV AND Social Security office? Gosh... :/
I threw on some makeup today, with everything working around vampy lips. It just HAD to be vampy lips. No details today because I literally JUST got home. But with these products, I guess it is pretty self explanatory.

Today's Make Up: Candy Rush

Happy Thursday y'all!! Can you believe it's been one whole week since Thanksgiving already?! Unbelievable. Christmas is exactly 3 weeks away... 3! :/ Let's see just how quickly that will sneak up on us even though the majority of us are counting down the days. LOL.
So I had some free time today, I decided to put it to good use and went out to Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, etc. to browse. I didn't pick up anything today though, just browsed to get an idea. Man... the toys sections seem to expand every year. When I was little, I did not remember there was this many toys. Kids nowadays are so lucky, BUT, my generation had some of the most awesome toys. Haha. Compensation.
The sun was well hidden today because rain finally visited Arizona! It literally rained ALL day long... From the moment I woke up at 4:45 A.M. to now, still pouring outside. It is so beautiful. I wish it will stay a few days longer.
Makeup of the day includes, gold eyes and pink liiiiiipssssssss. It had to be gold eyes because I am testing out a new product. :P

The level of humidity is UNREAL. My gosh... Amazing what rain can do. So due to the humidity level, I did not apply any face products with the exception of a little concealer. I have a few acne still in the process of fading away so a few dab of concealer here and there. Besides that, nothing more other than my moisturizer and mist.
Mentioned above, I am testing out the Be A Bombshell Eye Base. I received this in my November iPsy bag....which I did not do a post on yet. Oh no! But yeah, it is an Eye Base so I wore it without any primer. I set that with loose gold shadows, today I used ELF Long-Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow. Then I just lined my eyes with liquid liner and and mascara as usual.
On the lips today is Candy Rush, a lip color I bought ages ago and never got around to trying out. LOL. I love how smooth it applied. No weird smells, color pigmentation was average but it did dry out my lips quickly though. I had to wipe it off, reapply lip balm and reapply the lip color while I was out.
Thank you for dropping by and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: "Pink Peony" And A "Rose"

It's Wednesday guys!! D-1 until Thanksgiving!!!! Can you tell I am ecstatic?! Haha. I hope you're all enjoying your last day of work and/or school before the four day weekend. It is a necessary break if you ask me. :P

Much to my dissatisfaction, I was out doing last minute shopping for tomorrow's.. er.. Friday's dinner. Long story short, because all the shops and stores decided to one up each other and open earlier and earlier and the deals are too sweet to pass up on, we as a family decided to move 'Thanksgiving' dinner from tomorrow to Friday. So all of tomorrow and possibly Friday morning will be dedicated to shopping. Fun, fun!!

But anyways, the last minute shopping. I am a very punctual person; time is important to me. For me, arriving 15 minutes early is late. So if it were up to me, I will not wait until today to go out and make the final purchases. Unfortunately that is not up to me because my mom and aunts are the chiefs this year so they make the list, I am just the errand runner. The stores were PACKED! The streets were JAMMED. I was not in a good mood at all. It took me like and hour and 15 minutes to get to somewhere that it would normally take 20 minutes. It's pretty ridiculous. 

Today's makeup, pink cheeks with matching pink lips and a pop of green on the eyes for fun. ;)

Went for the luminous bare faced look again today. Haha. What's new? I feel like since I am a beauty blogger, I should be more experimental with my makeup but I honestly love this face makeup so much. It's so easy and simple to do yet makes me look very youthful. Adding to the mix are rosy cheeks. This Physicians Formula blush itself has a glow to it so it'll give my cheeks a glow along with providing the rosiness. I opted for a matte highlight to keep everything from glowing and radiating; there's a fine line between glowing and looking like a disco ball. LOL.

To pair with my bare faced, I went for clean neutral eyes. I didn't even sport my usual cat eyes because I wanted my cheeks and lips to be the focal point today. Since rose pink and green goes well together, I decided to add a hint of green to my lower lash line. Not too much, just a bit of color to keep things interesting.

The pink lips I kept talking about is a shade called Pink Peony. I picked this up in the clearance section at Target not too long ago and haven't really worn it much since, maybe three or four times at most. It's like a tinted lip balm with minimal shine to it. I fairly enjoy wearing it. It isn't tacky nor is it sticky on my lips, No special scent either. It does stain a little so do expect it to be a bit darker after it sets than when first applied it.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! But do take the time to spend it with family and create ever lasting memories. Enjoy your holiday weekend y'all!! :)

Today's Make Up: Fairytale

Happy, happy, happy Saturday everyone! How are y'all doing this fine Saturday? I am doing well, besides the fact that my fingers might be a little stiff and frozen. Haha. My poor phalanges are taking the abuse whilst the rest of me are bundled up. Maybe it's just me, but my hands and feet are usually the first body parts to be cold, and the last to be warmed up. It takes forever to warm them up, which is frustrating. Cold feet is no laughing matter. LOL. 

Although it is Saturday, no family gathering today. We are saving that for next week. As for this week, we all have our own ish to do. For me, I have to take those new Arizona residents around so they can pick up things for for their house to make it homely. I usually like to spend my weekend lounging around being lazy but it is quite nice to be productive on the weekend. Let's not make it a habit though. :P

The mess below are products on the face today. My makeup nowadays are very similar day to day. I've been too lazy to be experimental... I know that's bad to say. I did however, messed around with the eye makeup today using a palette that has not seen light since a while ago. Haha.

Today's Make Up: Fairytale

FACE
NYX Pore Filler
Benefit Erase Paste in Medium
Covergirl + Olay Concealer Balm in Fair
L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer
IPKN NY Moist & Firm BB in Light
Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder in Fair
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny
the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer
ELF Studio Blush in Berry Merry

EYES
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Covergirl Eye Enhancers in Fairytale
Be A Bombshell Eyeliner in Onyx
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion
Maybelline The Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara

LIPS
the Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Sweet Pink

Again with the luminous bare face. Ugh!! It is too easy to wear that I keep going back to it. It looks so freaken naturally beautiful. I must say, this L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing primer is perfect for this exact look. It gives off the most subtle glow without making me look too oily or too shiny. I am still in a very berry mood and did not hesitate to show that on my cheeks.

I did a simple smoky with this Covergirl palette. These new palettes cannot even compare to the old ones Covergirl used to have. You know those blue package ones? Even though they claimed that the formula didn't change, I find that hard to believe. The old ones applied like butter whereas the new ones are more dry and sometimes flaky. I also found this new palette less pigmented than the old ones. And no, this isn't the first time I used this palette... There's a reason why I haven't used it when I have so many other options to choose from. LOL.

My very berry mood did not extend to my lips today as I wanted pink lips instead. After applying a lip stain as a base, I applied a muted pink balm stain to the pouters. Love the color combination.

I hope all of you are having a great weekend by far. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: "Hot Damn" What A "Hot Mess"

My gosh, what happened to the days... It was like Monday yesterday and it's already Wednesday today.. :/ Another blink and tomorrow will be Friday. Time is seriously zipping by in lightening speed.... Please excuse my rant, I'm just having an ehh kinda day. I do hope yours is better though. :)

Below are the makeup I have on my face today since I had a few business to run earlier. I was in the mood for bright red lips today, not muted red, not toned down red, but BRIGHT red. I even topped off with a gloss to make it extra shiny.

Today's Make Up: "Hot Damn" What A "Hot Mess" It Is

BH Cosmetics Waterproof Eye Crayon in Sapphire
Maybelline The Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara

LIPS
Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon in Hot Damn
Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss in Hot Mess

As always, nothing special on the face. Just moisturizer, a bit of concealer for the eyes and a little bronzer to sculpt and chisel away. You probably noticed by now that during the week, I tend to not wear a full face of makeup. It's all mainly "quick fixes". I do however, wear a full face on Friday and for the weekend if necessary.

Since my lips will be red, I didn't want anything else to take away its spotlight so my eyes are kept super simple. I used light, shimmery shades on my eyelids, paired with a thick winged liner, balanced with a Sapphire blue shadow on my lower lash line. 

Now that the weather has turned chilly, I always begin by scrubbing my lips with a toothbrush to get rid of the dead skin. Then I applied a moisturizing lip balm before anything else. Maybe it's just me, but I wait maybe one or two minutes after applying lip balm before I apply any other lip product. In this case, I am using a Lip Crayon called Hot Damn, topped with Hot Mess, a Lip Gloss, both from Be A Bombshell.

Today's Make Up: A "Natural" "Golden Sunset"

Happy weekend all! How are y'all doing on this lovely first day of November?? Hope you all had a fantastic, memorable night. Oh... I know I did.

A friendly reminder that tomorrow, November 2nd will also be the end of Daylight Savings; which means that for those affected, you'll fall back an hour. As for me, living in Arizona, we do not take part in Daylight Savings, so fall back or spring forward, it doesn't affect me. LOL.

But anyways, some family friends are spending their weekends with us before flying home to Vancouver on Monday. So what better way than to commemorate with a family gathering with lots and lots of food. Always the food. We like food. Haha. With that said, there is lots to do, err, help prepare.

Reeeeeal quick, on the face today before I run off to help. Another rediscovered favorite on the eyes today. :P

LIPS
Etude House Rosy Tint Lips in After Blossom
NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Natural

It's been a while but I felt like using my bare Minerals foundation today as a full coverage setting powder today. I don't like using loose powders, that's why this has been out of reach for the longest while.

You can probably tell that I've had this Covergirl trio for a while because this was the older packaging. This is one of the first trios I purchased since getting back into makeup a couple years ago. Same with most products, I used this and only this for a while, got something else and slowly forgot about this until I found it this morning. I really need to check thoroughly everyday, when time permits, for products tucked away.

And finally, on the lips. I used a wine shade lip tint and topped off with a natural shade gloss.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Enjoy your weekend! But please don't forget come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: "Eternal Sunshine" With An "Iced Latte"

Hello, hello there my sweet apricots. And just how are you all doing on this gorgeous Saturday? :P Hope you're all enjoying your weekends well.

I type this with a headache pounding at my head... Advil isn't even helping today. Mehh.. But anywho, cannot let a simple, err, not-very-simple headache get me down. Family gathering today and dinner in a bit at the buffet. Sooo ready to kill the buffet again. Sushi bar, here I come, ice cream bar, wait for me!

Sooooo yeaaaah, getting to the part where you're all waiting for, haha. What I have on the face today. :D

Today's Make Up: Eternal Sunshine

LIPS
the Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

It's been a good while since I've used these L'Oreal eyeshadows. Iced Latte is such a great highlight shade while Eternal Sunshine is a great shade for all over the lids. The eyeshadows are so pigmented and apply like butter. I have no problems with fall outs or flakiness. Besides these two shades, I also own two more shades, a bronze and a plum... forgot their names but I realized I wanted another shade called Amber Rush. I've heard many people rave about how awesome the shade is as both a stand alone and when paired with another shadow.

On the lips is just another pretty shade of pink from my Lip Butter collection. I am sure this will and can last me the entire night until dinner is over, which is when I will wipe off the old and reapply with a new coat.

Makeup on, check. Hunger, check. Dinner time? Almost there!! We're leaving though so that's it for today's post. I hope you're all enjoying yourselves as well. Have a terrific weekend you guys! Have fun and stay safe.

Today's Make Up: Cranberry Crush

And here we are again y'all, Hump Day Wednesday!!!! Hope you're all having a good day. :P

If I had the option, I would not have gotten out of bed today. I was never one to get cramps during my TOM, that is until.. maybe last year? The cramps come and go, thank goodness. But when it does occur, it's so painful, as if an elephant had stomped on my tummy or something. The cramps kept me up majority of the night, so I'm cramping, lack sleep, overall a mess. 

At least the beautiful weather made up for it. It made running the errands somewhat bearable. Needless to say though, I was one grumpy bear today.

Similar to yesterday, I woke up thinking to myself, "I really want dark vampy lips today". Yep, dark, berry lips it was. I should have these firm decisions more often, it would speed up the application process by so much.

LIPS
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Cranberry Crush

If you're new to my blog, then you most like have not heard my ravings about these Jordana Balm Stains. It was probably around this time last year that I was totally obsessed with Balm Stains. I love myself a great hydrating balm stain, I mean, who doesn't? These Twist & Shine Balm Stain provides me with intense pigmentation, all the while keeps my lips moisturized the whole entire time it stays on my lips.After the initial shine is lost, my lips is still stained with the shade I first applied. It is not one of those balm stains where the initial shade is different from the stain it leaves. Love these to bits!

Today is all about pulling out things I haven't touched in the longest of times. These Smudge Pots, the Be A Bombshell Onyx Eye Liner, The They're Real! Mascara are amongst the said products. Nothing beats the feeling of rediscovering old favorites.

I honestly hope these cramps will subside by Saturday... I will be up and about, busy with the wedding from morning til morning. I do not have time for cramps. GO AWAY CRAMPS! I don't like you...

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all. Please come back soon! :)

June iPsy Bag: Pretty In Paradise Update

June iPsy Bag: Pretty In Paradise

Hello all! How are y'all liking the week by far? Work week is in full swing but I cant help but keep looking forward to the weekend. Who's with me? LOL

This is a little overdue but here it is guys! I greatly apologize to anyone actually waiting for the updates for June's bag. But I finally have time to sit down and compose this post. You've all waited long enough so I won't keep you waiting any longer. Here is the June iPsy Bag Updates!

June iPsy Bag: Pretty In Paradise - Products

I had such HIGH hopes for this mascara, mainly because it's a Be A Bombshell product. Unfortunately this time, Be A Bombshell did NOT deliver. Where do I even begin with this mascara?... Because this has got be one of the worst mascaras I have EVER used.

1. This mascara straight up smells like plastic or that of something synthetic. The smell is so foul I had a hard time breathing the first time I applied it. It is so bothersome and I am not one to be sensitive to the scents of makeup.

2. The formula, oh my gosh the formula. Straight from the tube, the mascara was dry and clumpy. Like you know how you can just tell how a mascara is just taking the wand out of the tube? If it's too watery or too dry. Well this was beyond dry, like I was actually worried if it would apply at all.

3. Well it did apply, but not well at all. It clumped on my lashes, leaving chunks on each lashes. It did not lengthen, extend, volumized my lashes at all. The only thing it did was weigh my lashes down.
4. No lasting power what-so-ever. It started flaking within an hour or so. I had to constantly wipe the fall outs off my face the entire day.

5. It was such a b**** to remove! UGH! Although this was not waterproof, it clung onto my lashes like it was waterproof. I could easily take off waterproof makeup with my Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover, yet even that had a hard tome removing this stuff. I ended up ripping off a few lashes the first time I used it.

So now, I do NOT recommend this mascara to anyone at all. For $15, you can easily find a drug store mascara that works 100x better than this. Just no...

I decided to give this product a second try and I am as disappointed this time around as the last. When I tried this out the first time, my hair was longer and denser so it had no effect on it; this time, I had chop off a lot of my hair and made it less dense, I was hoping this spray will work but unfortunately it did not. The spray did nothing great for my hair, the only thing it did was made my hair smell really nice. Oh, that and it weighed down my hair a lot.

I did not like this product at all, kinda disappointed I received it in my bag. It's alright though, I gave it to my cousin and she sure appreciated it. My cousin has fine, thin hair and she says this spray really does give her the beach waves.

For all the dislike that I had for the Lash Out Mascara, I felt the exact opposite for this lovely liner. I love almost everything about this liner. First off, the color is to die for! iPsy offered either Blue or Green to iPsters and although I wouldn't mind receiving Green, I am so happy to have received Blue. I have used this a couple of times and each time, I have received compliments.

The color is vibrant, perfect for accents, it adds a pop to the eyes. The liner itself applies like a dream, the formula is juuuuust right, not too liquidy, not too dry. It stays on with the same intensity all day. The only "problem" I have with this is the brush. It's a little too long for my comfort. For me, a long brush is harder to control than a shorter one. But nonetheless, a really good eyeliner for a fairly good price.

I ended up keeping this gloss in the end because everyone I offered it to already owned it or didn't like the shade. It is now a permanent resident in my makeup bag that I have in my purse. It's a nice touch up gloss and pairs well with any stains and/or lipstick shade.

I am a HUGE fan of the Butter Gloss, probably one of the few gloss I can stand. I love the large shade selection, NYX is always great with that. I also really enjoy the scent, it's not a harsh chemical stench nor is it too perfumey, the scent is really light and fruity. I also like the formula too, it is not too sticky nor is it too slimy, everything is just right. The Butter Gloss lasts pretty long too, all the while without drying out my lips.

Sigh...mixed feeling about this product. I'm actually somewhat disappointed in myself for not loving it THAT much. I don't hate it though... It's complicated.

What I dislike about this... the finish and the oiliness. Like many other Korean brands, Laneige has a dewy finish. I'm fine with dewy finishes in the winter, not in the middle of summer. I have really oily skin and on hot days, the oil gets really bad! This dewiness only worsens as the day continues. 

The formula itself isn't anything exceptional. I've tried and own better BB Creams with better coverage, more hydrating and lasts longer. I'm not saying this is a bad BB Cream, I've just tried better ones for lower prices. The only up side is this brand is now sold in the US at selected Targets. So for those who dislike purchasing makeup online, this brand might be for you.

I absolutely love the cushion concept. Many Korean brand of makeups are coming out with this concept, so it's okay that I am not entirely in love with Laneige. I can just look into other brands that already have the cushions. 

So there ya go, my honest opinions on these products. Hope y'all enjoyed this update post. Please stay tuned for the July bag update coming soon in the next week or so. Around the same time, the August bag will be up also. Please look forward to them.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading guys. Please come back soon! :)
