Just one more thing

Hi so excuse this post I am going to post all the pictures I have taken but haven't posted before I get to my IMATS post /haul. There are some makeup photos as well as beauty boxes.

New beauty test tube

Small beauty to go bag

I don't know how often I have updated regarding my beauty boxes, I do know that this is likely the last test tube I will order. I have received far too many shampoo and conditioner samples. The Moroccan body butter I have received before, and the only remotely interesting thing in this box is the mally eyeliner in navy blue. (That is not the name of the color but that is the shade) The candle is a nice touch but I don't order a beauty box for candles. Just so you know this is my second candle as well.

Ipsy bag

On the other hand I live my ipsy bag. Makeup, lashes, nail polish, and a gorgeous makeup bag every month. My only complaint is that the bags are not uniform. So leading up to delivery of my bag I will see blog post and you tube videos raving about the awesome products they received. Only to get my bag and find none of those things. The bag on the other hand is uniform as is the theme of each bag. I like this bag and at $10. a month I will keep ordering this one.

 These are all random pictures That I have no idea when they were taken.

 Super late black friday haul

So on black Friday I went to ulta and got a few things nothing outstanding except these chocolate collection products from NYX The skinny eyeliner is great for eyebrows, and the brown powder is good too if you have dark brows. 

Cyber monday

Cyber Monday sale

Two lipsticks

So I liked the chocolate collection powder and liner so I ordered back ups on Cyber Monday, as well as two lipsticks. I love NYX lipsticks. 

Next up IMATS

IMATS 2014 LA (quick post)

Well I will  use these pictures that I don't know when I uploaded to say that I will be at the IMATS 2014 LA. I'm so excited I have my shopping list all ready and I am counting down the days.

I have looked at the weather report and it is supposed to be in the 70's but it is still 9 days out so hopefully it will be nice.

Hope to see you all there

Hauling again

Haullliiinnnggg!!!
 So what can I say I was shopping my behind off. I treated myself, I treated myself to some things I have watched but had not had the nerve to splurge on. So I will walk you through my purchases now.

So I have been wanting these illamasqua palettes but they are not cheap. $46. each So I decide I deserved a treat and that included the paranormal palette and the neutral palette. I have used the paranormal palette, the eye shadow is very soft. It feels like a cream eye shadow, but it is really actually a powder. I like it but I need to try the neutral palette and play with the other one more. 

I also bought this pantone palette from sephora it is really good quality. I used the taupe color this palette is very pigmented the colors are smooth. This palette is a steal at $38. This palette is fun and I like working with it.

 Below is the back of the package with the name of each color.

The last thing on my sephora haul was this awesome metallic lip tar in black daliah. I love the lip tars, my only concern is that they don't travel well. I have had one bust in my bag. Yet I love black daliah and I am excited to try this metallic version.

I purchased these physicians formula eye shadows at ross. They are nice and smooth. I tried to use the green shade but it was not very pigmented. The purple shades are better. I have not tried the blue shades yet but I hope to soon.

On the left is a fit me powder, from target. $6 I believe. The powder on the right is a bare minerals powder for $30 something dollars. I have used the fit me powder before until it was all gone I love it, product and value. This will be my first time trying the bare minerals powder.

I got this fit me foundation from target, the last time I purchased the liquid it was in the shade 350. I hope that they reformulated the shades, as I did not see 350. 

I also purchased this mascara at target, Great lash is awesome need I say anything more? Also this brush really helps to. 

I have purchased parian spirit at the Imats the last two years. But this year the imats was moved to January so I haven't been back yet to purchase my regular supply. So I ordered this huge jug online. Awesome. I'm also trying this brush cleaner from Ben Nye. I will post my feelings about it later.

Hope you enjoyed my post
Thanks for sticking with me during my hiatus

Updates and Haul

So I have a new job,YAY NEW JOB! I was under a lot of stress at my last job and it left me with little to no  energy at the end of the day. I needed a change and I have been enjoying the different feeling in the morning. So I have been getting back in to the swing of taking pictures of my looks, purchases, and really wearing makeup.

My collective haul

 So I wanted to buy these stila eye shadows as soon as I saw them at sephora. They remind me a lot of the inglot rainbow shadows. But these shadows were $22 each at sephora. That is more than I like to spend, but then I saw them on hautelook for $6 each, so of course I bought them.

This is my best attempt at swatches

Acoustic

Center stage

The picture of the purple one did not come out as well, but as you can see the shadows have so much color 

Light Show

These lashes I got at Walgreen's, This Disney collection includes some nice makeup bags, as well as elf nail polish, and elf eye shadow palettes

Ardell ursula lashes
$7.99

Ardell Malifecent lashes
$7.99

 This mascara, lipstick, the NYX eye shadow, the blue bag in the picture, and the black eyeliner in the picture are all from my IPSY bag this month. The eyeliner is nice and soft it is from a company called starlooks. I also received a facial mask the kind that is like a sheet of wet paper you lay on your face.

 There is also an MAC paint pot in layin low, this is closer to my natural skin tone. 

Hope you enjoyed

Weekend Pictures

So I had a busy July and here are some pictures of my different makeup looks for the weekend

 I wore a dark silver and black Smokey eye with red lipstick

On this day I wore a matte white eye shadow, pink ,purple and green liner. Also a light pink lipstick.

This was my vintage day, I loved this dress. I wore a nude eye shadow. A matte red lipstick.
I have been horrible, at taking pictures. Most of these pictures are cropped from group shots.

Beauty boxes

Ipsy bag

It is only $10 a month and comes in this gorgeous pink envelope that makes you happy as soon as you see it. The bag includes a makeup bag every month, plus 5-6 products. I immediately liked this box. I think I enjoyed this box because most of the products are beauty products anyone could enjoy.

So this box included a perfume, zoya nail polish, shimmery lotion, lip gloss, and a concealer

 

New beauty test tube

This box is $38 every other month. I did not like this first box I felt personally there were too many hair products that did not go with my hair care regimen. Hair spray and a blow out spray, I think it was to add volume. I was sad but this box did grow on me over time.

 

This box included a shampoo and conditioner, two face wrap facials, moisturiser,exfoliating cream,  mini lip glosses, hair spray, and a blow out spray

This box also comes with two magazines. I also do not care for this new beauty magazine, It features allot of plastic surgery.  I do enjoy the magazine that talks about the products received, it tells you how to use all products and the history of the company.

 

I like both boxes currently and will update you on the other ones I have received.

 

Hope you enjoyed
