3 New Things November 2013

I think its not a surprise I love make-up

I have 3 new things to share that I'm really loving this November

1.
SMASHBOX CAMERA READY CC CREAM
Broad specrum SPF 30
Dark Spot Correcting
in LIGHT

First off I really like the packaging for this product. Sleek, Simple, Love it. Ok so... I have acne scars (its hard to admit) but this CC Cream has really helped. I'v seen a difference in my skin sense using this product. I have very pale skin as you can see in the picture. so this product brings a little color back into my skin. I also love that it has SPF 30 in it. I haven't been able to use a lot of SPF because of my acne, even using special acne SPF broke me out, this product didn't break me out, or cause any irritation. I really love this stuff, I just didn't love the price. It was really pricy compared to other brands. But with all the amazingness of dark spot correcting and SPF I think its worth it!

2.
NARS BLUSH
in TAOS





Blush Blush Blush... I'm on the search for the perfect blush, I don't think Taos is my perfect blush, but its amazing all the same. The perfect blush cant break me out, a lot of drug store brand do unfortunately. I thought Taos was interesting and I don't own anything like it. Perfect reason to get it right? Thats how I justified buying it anyways. I already own New Order, and a Hungry Heart, Orgasm duo. I really only have those few colors for blush anyway. I needed more to chose from (right?). Still testing it out but already tell its super pigmented and dark :) .

3.
LANCOME MASCARA 
HYPNOSE STAR
in NOIR MIDNIGHT




I got a tester for this product earlier this month. I remember thinking Oh... its not going to last. So I ended up buying the full size because I loved it so much. I had received so many compliments on it as well. It really thickened my lashes and made them longer.
It has a unique shape to the brush part. Whats that called? A spoolie? Anyways it like the end is flat but then sprawls out like a christmas tree to get all your lashes. Personally I love this feature (as seen in the above pictures). The formula is also amazing, helps add a curl to the lashes.

 A snobby friend of mine was really nit picky about it though, said "your eyelashes look clumpy from the side." How unpleasant right? I never thought they looked clumpy. After that I asked a few other peoples opinions they couldn't say one bad thing. Maybe it was just her mood. The product its super amazing and has a long wear to it. I have always bought drugstore mascara, buying this high end Lancome mascara made a huge difference.
Im a very happy lady with this product, and will continue to repurchase. As I'v grown attached.

Thanks for reading, I also want to say I'm not being paid to talk about these products.
Not being paid at all!
I bought all these products myself

If you live somewhere that celebrates ThanksGiving
Have a Happy Thanksgiving

I'll be celebrating by eating so much food
(and working blah)
have a great day :)

HAUL And REVIEW November 2013

So I was internet shopping and got bunches of things mainly Makeup. Its was a day filled of happiness!!!

  • First off I am now a V.I.B. Beauty insider threw Sephora, thats awesome and I cant wait to use my points etc. Link will be below to Sephora's website
now onto the make-up/beauty

Marc Jacobs Nail Lacquer in 110 - Gatsby

(no picture anymore)

Sorry its not a super amazing paint job, but hey this is only one coat on my nails, Amazing. I also REALLY LOVE this color! Its a Rose Gold color and over all gorgeous. Not only will i be able to wear this in Autumn/Fall but I think this will be a great color all year round! In the sun it's more pink that gold, but is very metallic and shiny. Bonus, shiny is always great. The price for a nail polish now a days is maybe $10 or cheaper. But Marc Jaboc's is a known fashion designer so of course his make-up and beauty line are going to be a bit pricy. This was $18, around the same price range as Butter London nail lacquers. And I'm a bit obsessed with Nail polishes and already have a decent size collection.

Hand Food
Soap and Glory



This product smells so good, and perfect for autumn/winter when it gets really dry. Im already a naturally a dry person and I have sensitive skin. So its really hard to find a good lotion or body cream that I can use. Living in a really dry place (Glendale arizona, US) doesnt help, so lotions are a must, always looking for good lotions and body creams. I had used there body cream I think, fell in love with the brand. I noticed after using the hand food, my hands were left a bit oily. I personaly am not a bit fan of that feeling, unless I'm really dried out and chapping. So be warned slight oily feeling with this Product. This was around $12, great deal I think.

Fresh
Sugar Lip Treatment

(no picture anymore)

This product is like heaven on you're lippys! Again I tend to be a very dry person weather it be lips or skin, all over dryness. This product I got as a present for my birthday from good ol' Sephora. Used it all up but didn't repurchase right away because I had other chap sticks to use up (all sucked compared to sugar lip treatment). So I repurchased And am way excited to use it! I Recommend this product to everyone. I know it can be a bit pricy around $22.50, but I cant say enough great things about it!

New Order
Nars Blush

(no picture anymore)

Don't be confused, New Order in the name of the color. This is so lovely, a beautiful soft pink with gold and silver shimmer. Having a Olive / yellowy skin tone it's really difficult to find a soft pink blush I can used, and looks good on my skin. This looks great, And i don't own many blushes so i thought going for a softer pink is a great way to start. Nars blushes are not cheap either, this was $29.

Fairy's Kiss
Nars Eyeshadow Palette 



(no picture anymore)

This I actually got from the Nars website (link below). I also did a whole seperate post on it here (click is on the word here). This is a limited edition item so I'm not sure if they'd still have it on the website. Sorry about the crap picture of swatches. I'm not going to lie, Fairy's kiss was probably the most expensive product I got. It cost $45 not including taxes and shipping, so its a lot of money. I'm not to sure it was worth all the hype I was giving it either. Don't get me wrong I do like the colors and textures and packaging, I just don't think it's worth $45. Thats my honest opinion.


Icon - Blue Red
Hourglass liquid lipstick



(no picture any more)

This I have not tested out on my lippys yet, but supposedly it dries matte (not glossy). So I'm a little worried to test it out on my dry lips for the fall/winter but I did a swatch on my forearm. Let me tell you, this sh*t stayed on my forearm. Took me a good rub to get it off. So thats awesome that it has amazing staying power. It also had an odd doe foot applicator, but does that really matter in such an amazing product. So many good reviews, and let me tell you I cant wait for a reason to wear this. I'm still worried about the dryness, but when I tested it on my wrist it felt creamy and not drying. This little baby cost about $28 bucks. A lot of you are probably like "you is a crazy woman" haha well I had a good reason... I own no red lippy products. Correction I own 2 lip glosses, one pink lip stick, and a plethora of used up chap sticks. I say used up because they are almost gone or are completely gone.

few' that was a bunch a stuff. If anyone has good recommendations to keep my skin from drying out this winter like it does every winter, please I'll try it! Or have any other products that you recommend, this is pretty much half of what I own. So I obviously want more.

Coming up soon I order an amazing AMAZING thing..... 
so keep your eyes open for my next blog post, cuz it's going to be fjlakglejbfldsjfugowu
