FOUNDATION UPDATE

See what I used to I achieved this foundation look!

BOOM! BEAUTY BLENDER!!

Came in sleek packaging, with the little spongy guy in the middle, so cute! I got mine from Sephora for $20.

Sources say, sponge works better damp, so I did run it under water for a sec to make it a little damp and then applied a new foundation I got!

Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation in No.60 Honey Beige

SWATCHED!

Foundation blended so smoothly right into my skin.

Mat Velvet gave my face a matte look and full coverage. This is just one application of the foundation onto my face. I wore the foundation for hours and there was minimal shine on my face. I am glad I tried this one out!

I would recommend this for anyone with normal to oily skin looking for control on their shine and a full matte look!

ROCKET LASHES

MAYBELLINE THE ROCKET

I have been using this new Maybelline "The Rocket Volum' Express" mascara for about 2 weeks now & I have to say "WOW!" What a quality mascara!! Gives such good volume, I cant even believe it! I would highly recommended this mascara to everyone who wants bigger, bolder lashes!

Very bold packaging, pretty colors!

Just used "The Rocket" on these lashes baby! I usually layer mascaras but if you need a quick lash routine, go with this, best money you will spend on a drugstore mascara!

Rocket Here!

MAC SHADOW

Received my first 2 MAC EYESHADOWS from my good friend Holli today!

Both are frost shadows, they give a little shimmer to the lid without being over-powering! Shadows are long lasting and give great color pay off. One swipe and you get the true pigment from the shadows!

Two similar colors yet so different when swatched! Sable a more coppery bronze tone and Satin Taupe a silvery undertone. I paired them both together since I was so excited to try them! They blended well together! Excited to try more MAC shadows in the future!

Get them here!

FAUX & DREAMY

HAPPY 2013!!!

NEW MAC lip combo!

Featuring:

• Faux
• Dreamy

This is so close to my actual lip color, it really brings a soft pink color to my lips. I am in love with it. You can pair this with any topper for any day of the week! Such a pretty girly nude pink :)

"you're so Dreamy"

MAC's Dreamy Lipglass, a pretty sparkly pink color. Wonderful for topping off a matte lipstick or a softer pink to jazz it up! I am loving it! Gives just enough shine without being too much! Reflects sparkle in the light. Perfect for pictures!

Shine Bright!

Featuring L'Oreal & Ulta polishes!

L'Oreal Butterfly Kisses I used as base color.

A pretty Barbie pink <3 did two coats!

Ulta's Afterparty for a extra sparkle as a topper!

Pretty nail combo for any girly girl! I LOVE the L'Oreal polishes, they go on so easily! Makes it so quick to do your nails! The Ulta polishes are pretty smooth too, this glitter was not SO chunky so it went on easy! Let's see how it will come off... lol!

E.L.F Christmas Nails

Picked up E.L.F nail polishes from Target, they were only $1! E.L.F polishes don't have names but here is what they look like:

Very Christmasy! A bold red & a finely glittered hunter green

Gorgeous for holiday parties to jazz up your outfit! I went tradition with one color, then the other, feels old-school to me haha But it makes me feel cheery & I love it :)

Happy Holidays! 
Heading to New York this weekend! Have a good one!
