My Everyday Makeup Routine

I typically don't wear a whole lot of makeup. When I do I usually just do my eye make up. The products I use are L'Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper in Medium to Dark, Clinique Chubby Stick in lavish lilac, L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara, and Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Black. I also switch between using Revlon Colorburst Balm Stick in Rendezvous  and the Clinique Chubby in Super Strawberry for my lips.

Back Again

Dear readers,
I have been on hiatus because I have been super busy and I haven't always had the time to buy more make up. Now that I have a job, I will be able to buy more makeup and skin care products.

School Stuff Haul

The stuff I get for school is pretty basic. I get a few folders, highlighters, led, a planner, some notebooks, and some binders. Another thing I should mention, there are only two brands of erasers I will use; Faber Castell and Pink Pearl. Other erasers I have tried didn't work that well. Down below is a picture of some of the school stuff  I got from Walmart. So everyone who is going back to school, good luck.

Small Mask Haul

When I went to Germany on vacation,  I didn't get any makeup, because I didn't want to take a lot back, and I don't think my parents wanted me to get anymore. At the drug store (pharmacy), I saw some masks so I decide to get a few. They were all from DermaSel. I got a Lemon Peel off mask, a Hydrating Mask, and a another peel mask. I can't read anything on the mask because its all in German. So I hope they all are great, and next time I go to Germany I'll bring less and buy some more makeup.

School Makeup

For school, I don't usually wear makeup. I prefer to go natural. The most basic I would do is put some eye-shadow and mascara on. If I put eyeliner on, it might take me a little longer. Products I will use for everyday school makeup are Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to Bronze and Maybelline Rocket (waterproof). Both of these will last long.

Freeman Facial Peel-Off Mask Cucumber

I originally was looking for the Freeman Anti-Stress Mask Deep Sea Minerals. Walgreens didn't have it, and I saw this, and I remember a beauty guru  I follow used this. So I decided to try it. I will say it smells so good. The mask is really sticky; so be careful.  It says to leave it on for 5-10 minutes, but it still, for me is too sticky. So I leave it on til I can peel it off. The fun part is peeling. Peeling the mask off can be tricky, because some of it might not want to come off. If I have a piece that I have trouble getting off I just rinse the rest off.
This mask is suppose to clarify and renew skin, but I don't see a big difference. I will say it is very refreshing to use.

Sigma Brush Essentials: Make Me Crazy

For a while I was waiting for one of my favorite beauty guru's brush line to come. When they came out, I asked my parents to order it for me, but they said no because they were afraid that there information would get stolen. So they tried to convince me to buy another good set of brush. I remember that a lot of beauty gurus on Youtube say Sigma makes good brushes. So I decided to look into Sigma, and I found a 12 piece brush set; called Make Me Crazy. I choose this set because I love the color purple. Also I should mention that I ordered it from Amazon. Another is I thought it said it came with a gift, but it never came. Anyways, I know I am super late on buy this, because they came out in 2011.
First impression on the set was the case seems very sturdy. It also has a leather smell. While umpacking the brushes I noticed that only the face brushes (excluding conclear brush) had a clear plastic case over the brushes. I do kinda wished they put that on the other brushes to, but thats just a minor thing. Another thing I noticed is the brushes are big. To be honest these are probably my first set of brushes. Also these brushes look lighter on the site, but when you get them they seem a little darker. They are also super duper soft.
When I first washed them all, I noticed only a little of the brush hair fell (like 2). I read that some people claimed that there was a lot of shedding.
I am going to make another post on about all the brushes.

NYX Retractable Eyeliner

I wanted to find a white eyeliner and I heard NYX has some good eyeliners. So I got the NYX Retractable Eye Liner. This eyeliner is very easy to apply on. Its also waterproof. The one I got was waterproof. I really like to use it under my eyes also in the inner corners of my eyes. This is a good eyeliner.

Maybelline Baby Lips

For the summer I was looking for a lip balm that had SPF. I had already tried EOS, and I wanted to try something new. At first I thought Burt's Bees had lip balm that had SPF, turns out they don't. So in the winter I will be trying out their products. There are only two Baby Lips that don't have a tint, Peppermint and Quenched. All of the Baby Lips have SPF 20. I picked Peppermint, because I like peppermints. When I first applied it my lips felt a cool sensation.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara

I head some good reviews about this mascara, so I wanted to try it. Also I have been meaning to try some more drugstore mascaras. I picked the waterproof because I like when mascaras are waterproof. The color I got was brownish black. When I first applied the mascara I it made my lashes longer. The wand felt a little flimsy. Also it was a little clumpy.

Ulta Beauty Gems Makeup Kit

I recieve this kit for Christmas. My mom got it for me from Ulta when they were selling it. You can't buy it at Ulta anymore, and if you search for it, you mostly won't find it. If you look on Ebay you can buy the same brand, but not the same kit. There are 69 eyeshadows, 4 blushes, 2 bronzers, 36 lip glosses, and 3 brushes. This also has a mirror. I really like the eyeshadows. This has more of cool tones for eyeshadows. This product is great for a teen. In my opinion, I like this but, I don't like the brushes, because they have a cheep look.

 

 

 

 

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow

This is great set of eyeshadows for beginners. It also instructs you where to apply the eyeshadows to. This comes with sponge eyeshadow stick.The colors all have a nice shimmer to them. I definetely think that this would be good for partys. Also they are compact, so you can put it in your purse for a touch up. Down below I have one and its Sapphire Smokes.

Pretty and Cute Review

Pretty and Cute is a online store to buy Asian makeup. It doesn't have a big varity like Sasa or Imomoko, but still has a lot. The shipping for products is not as expensive as Sasa or Imomoko. When I ordered for the first time my products came quite fast. If you order $50 or more  in the US there is free shipping and if your in Canada and order $100 or more free shipping. There is also a free sample with every order. A purchase of $39 or more you get a free gift. If you purchase $65 or more you get 2 free sheet mask. I have to say there are a lot of free things from ordering from Pretty and Cute. There is a store for Pretty and Cute and its in Portland, Oregon. Here is the address 2850 SE 82nd Ave Suite 10, Portland, OR 97266, United States(Located in Fubonn Shopping Plaza). Down below is some more information about the store and the link to the website.

March Bath Stuff

Everyone, I am so sorry for posting this late. I was pretty busy during March. At the end of March, I went to a Youth Convention. Anyways its spring hooray!! It wasn't really springing in March, because I got snow. On to the bath stuff, the body wash was Cucumber Melon, and the handsanitzer was Papaya Melon Scoop. I have to say Cucumber Melon is one of my favorite body wash. It smells so good!! Unfortunately if I run out I have to wait till they have a big sale in the summer or winter. Papaya Melon Scoop is great because it has a nice and fresh fruity fragrance.

 

Ulta Eye Liner Pencil

I got both eyeliners from a Ulta kit I got last Christmas. I think the eyeliners are just okay. They smuged easily and are not waterproof. They probably do not sell these in stores and I'm guessing they come with make up kits by Ulta. Brown is a nice addition to my eyeliners.

Curel Ultra Healing-Lotion

If your hands get really dry in the winter this could be the product for you. It helps keep moisture in the skin so the skin can maintain the moisture. Protects skin from dryness. It isn't greasy. This also is dermatologist recommended. When I first I applied it felt like a regular lotion. The lotion moisturized my skin right away. This also has a very faint smell of a fragrance. So if you have dry hands you should try this.

bareMinerals Little Luxuries Dazzling Eye Trio

I just want to say they don't sell this at Ulta anymore. They might sell this in bareMineral stores, but I'm not sure. Also this product is not available online at bareMinerals.com. This was a Christmas special. I received this as a birthday present. You are given Cultured Pearl Eyecolor, Muse Eyecolor, and Flawless Definition Mascara in black. The eye shadows are both great. My favorite is the pearl because it has a nice shimmer. I do wish that the eye shadows were a bit bigger. The mascara is okay. It's a little clumpy and not waterproof.

ELF Studio Endless Eyes Pro Eye shadow Palette-Limited Edition

My friend and I were hanging out and decide to go to Target. When we were looking at the cosmetic section  we saw these palettes. There were many choices. They were all ELF products. There was a $5 palette that you could get in neutral, bright, or everyday. Then there was $10 palette and there was a marble and 100. Next was a $15 palette with a neutral and bright.
I got the $10 marble palette . It has 100 eye shadows. I also should mention be careful to hold the palette because two little pieces that held my cover of my palette broke off. My palette is fine I just have to hold it if I want to use the mirror.
I have to say I love the selection of colors. You have lots of in between colors. I really wanted this palette because I wanted more colors. I don't have a favorite eye shadow color yet from the palette, but I will eventually.
So if you want to get more eye shadows for not a lot, but still good quality then you should consider buying some of ELF palettes. This also would be a great present for someone who likes makeup or is just starting to use makeup.

bareMinerals Blemish Therapy

I heard some good reviews about this so I wanted to try it. Since the time I got it, I haven't seen big improvements. I think its working a little bit on me. Everyone skin is a little different so I might work for you. If you have breakouts this might be the product for you. It helps treat acne and blemishes while preventing future breakouts from forming. Also helps minimize pores, reduce redness and diffuse imperfections. This helps control black heads too. So if you haven't used bareMinerals before remember swirl and tap.

January Bath/Shower Gel/Handsanitizer

Yay its a brand new year I hope you all have a new years resolution. Also I have been thinking that I should change the title because it is very long. So I decide to change it to Bath Stuff. I picked fresh sparkling snow because in my mind January is the season where there is usually lots of snow. Paris Amour is a very nice smell. I just want to say sorry for not posting anything recently super uber busy with midterms. So some new things will be posted soon.
