New Stuff!! YEAH!! =)

So I've been doing a lot of haul videos lately on my YouTube Channel, so I thought I'd just do a blog post for my newest treasures =)
First stop: LUSH


I was so excited, because I had a 15% off coupon, and the girl that was working told me how if you spent $50, you got a free gift set from Christmas...so of course I had to get $50 worth, haha. I went a little crazy...got soap, bath melts, bubble bars, shampoo. But I was so excited to try out all the different stuff. So what did I get?

Sexy Peel Soap


A sample of Vanilla in the Mist Soap



Big Shampoo (AMAZING!!)
American Cream Conditioner (Even MORE AMAZING!!)

3 Sugar Scrubs (it was buy one get two free)

The Ex Factor Bath Bomb

Golden Slumbers Bath Bomb
Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar


Stardust Gift (which values for $50!!!)




This included Snow Fairy Shower Gel, Star Bath Melt, Candy Cane Bubble Bar, Fairy Tale Sugar Scrub, Angels Delight Soap, Snow Fairy Solid Perfume, and Double Fast Luck Emotibomb
~*~*~*~

Next: All Cosmetics Wholesale Order...some GREAT Deals!!!




I got A MAC Fafi Lipstick (I can't remember the name), A YSL Duo in #6 Pink Harmony, POP Pigment in Dusty Silver, MAC Violet Underground Eyeliner, Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Flipside, MAC Lipglass in Steal My Heart, MAC Select Moistureblend in NW20, and MAC Dazzleglass in Funtabulous. I've also included Swatches =)


[Flipside, Violet Undergound, Fafi, Steal My Heart, Funtabulous, YSL Dou]

*~*~*~*

Mixture of Walmart, Ulta, and Cosmoprof:

I have a few new nailpolishes: China Glaze Pink Voltage and Sex on the Beach and then OPI Mad as a Hatter (LOVE this one...pure glitter...have it on my toes RIGHT NOW!)

Some new Ardell Lashes, Maybelline XXL Volume Mascara, LOreal Lash Serum and Double Mascara, MAX Factor Double Impact Mascara with black and hot pink mascara (pink doesn't show up too well though), Hard Candy Cream Shadow, NYX Jumbo Pencil in Pacific, and NYX Lipgloss in Pink Frost.
~*~*~*~

I also placed an order with Sephora. I wanted to get a few of the sets they had around Christmas, since I love getting gift sets =) I didn't realize though until my package came just how many NARS products I ordered, haha. I haven't been very big on this brand since they are so expensive, but when you can get several items for a little bit cheaper...why not!??!

I got a set with Orgasm Nail Polish and Super Orgasm Blush, a set of 5 lipglosses (Orgasm, Striptease, Turkish Delight {Which I'll give away with my next contest}, Dolce Vita, Greek Holiday), and then I bought an eyeshadow dou in Eurydice I've been eyeing for a while thanks to Pixiwoo.


[Dolce Vita, Striptease, Orgasm, Greek Holiday, Eurydice Duo, Super Orgasm Blush]

*~*~*~*

Okay...geez, I didn't realize I had so much, haha. Now for the stuff I bought thanks to a subscriber. I got a message the other day asking if I had tried Sassy Minerals. I hadn't even heard of them before, but this subscriber said they were really good, so I placed a small order of sample. I have to be careful when purchasing loose shadows, because I am allergic to some of them. The colors I got though were Cynical, Disturbing the Peace, Gasoline Rainbow Liner, Dreamy (a free sample), Fake it (another free sample), and Neverending.




My first reaction is that I really like these shadows. The ones I got are very shimmery, but that's how I like my shadows. The samples are only $0.75, so why not try some!! have any of you tried out Sassy Minerals before?
~*~*~*~

And FINALLY, haha, is the stuff I got from MAC. I still had some money on a gift card, and I had been making a list for like over a month on stuff I wanted, haha. I got:


Warm Me Up Lipstick

Feeling Dreamy Lipglass
Rapidblack Penultimate Eyeliner
Patina Eyeshadow
Sea & Sky Duo

Mythology Eyeshadow

109 Brush

[Warm Me Up, Feeling Dreamy, Rapidblack, Patina, Sea & Sky Duo, Mythology]
So that's it!! If you all want a video about anything I talked about, or a tutorial, just comment below, and thanks for reading and watching =)
Talk to you guys later!!

Blush Collection

Continuing with my collection blogs, I decided to do all my blushes. I don't really have too many of them so I thought this would be a quick blog to do before doing my online mid-term and then going to bed. Until recently I didn't really use blushes, because I have really rosy cheeks and thought that blushes would only make me look worse. However, once I started getting into makeup I realized that blushes just give a nice glow to my skin and make it look better! Next on my list is to try one of MAC's Beauty Powder Blushes, Tiffany (MakeupByTiffanyD) raves about these, so I think I'll be purchasing one the next time I go to Mac...probably next week, haha.

So...on to the collection!



Petticoat MSF (Limited Edition)

This is such a pretty light pink color with some shimmer into it. It's light enough where it doesn't make me look crazy, but it warms up my cheeks and leaves a pretty sheen. Some people on YouTube have even mentioned you could use this as a highlight in the summer when you've got more color. Hopefully I'll get my butt in gear and start tanning and find out. =)

Love Rocks Minerialized Blush Duo

Gold violet melange/bright blue pink

Love Rocks is really pretty hot pink. When I started buying my blushes I wanted to make sure that they were all pretty different, so I felt I wasn't wasting my money. To use, I just swirl my brush over both colors to get a nice shimmering pink on my cheeks.

NARS Orgasm

This was one of the first blushes I bought. It's such a pretty peachy color, and it would compliment anyone. It's one of the most famous blushes from what I've heard and I really do think it would look good on anyone.

NARS Madly

This blush I truly bought just because of Tiffany (MakeupByTiffanyD). She used it in a tutorial and talked about how pretty it was so I felt I had to get it. It does kind of look blah in the container, but when you put it on your cheeks it this really pretty sun-kissed look.

Solar Riche Bronzing Powder

Midtone deep orange brown

This isn't really a blush, but I only have the one good bronzer so that's why it is in this drawer. I've talked about this color before, in my CCO haul, but I hadn't used it at that time. I use this product to contour with, and it works SOOO well. I had been using a Revlon bronzer before to contour, but this product was made for my skin it feels. It just blends out so well and creates a very natural coloring. This one pictured is from the Neo-Scifi Collection from MAC, but it's been re-released in the Style Warrior Collection right now, so if you don't have it you need to get it!

Well, that's the blush collection! I have some Mary Kay blushes and bronzers, but I've put those away after getting MAC. I still have them for right now, in case I need them, but I'll probably be giving them away or something soon to make room for more makeup, haha.

You guys have a good night! Look for upcoming blogs about makeup looks, more on my collection, reviews, and hopefully another small haul! =)

Later!

A new day...new products!!


So I had a doctor's appointment today, and while I was out I decided to treat myself to some goodies. Not too many, since I've said twenty million times, I'm going to TN next week to my first CCO and such. However, I couldn't resist getting a couple things. OH! But you will be proud, I didn't even go into MAC, I swear I'm waiting until after TN and after the next collection in May comes out, since there are some things I'm waiting in that. Also, I'm waiting for some reviews on the Rose Romance Collection on YouTube to see if I need anything from it.


Anyways, but to what I did get...I went into Sephora and Victoria's Secret as well as I had placed an order with Sephora and it was waiting here for me when I got home (such a nice little surprise=))

First from my Sephora store experience:

1. Smashbox HD concealer-I recently got the MAC studio sculpt concealer, and don't get me wrong I really like it, however, it doesn't work well under my eye, so I decided to try this one. I don't have really dark circle or anything, but I just want something to make that area look more smooth. Hopefully this product will be it =)

2. Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero-So I was going back and forth between trying this one or Stila, and I asked a couple of the girls there and they both said to get this one. I have fluidline from MAC which I LOVE and where everyday, but I wanted a pencil eyeliner I could smudge and make less dramatic if I wanted.

3. Sephora Body Butter-This was my free deluxe sample, and actually it smells really good, so I'll have to see if it's greasy or what.

4. Murad Clarifying Cleanser-This was just a small sample the clerk threw in my bag (they have started doing this lately which I think is a great idea!). I'm always up for trying new cleanser, so I'll have to see what this one is like. I'll have to get on Sephora.com though and see if I can use it to get eye makeup off or if it's just a cleanser.


From my online order from Sephora...

1. NARS Madly Blush-As published before, I ordered this because Tiffany (MakeupByTiffanyD) used it in a tutorial and I just thought it was too pretty not to own.


From Victoria's Secret...

1. Beauty Rush Liquid Glitter Liner in Platinumania (Silver)-So I was checking out, and I saw this and thought it might be pretty with certain looks, maybe even over black liner to give sparkle. I know, I'm such a sucker, haha.

2. Beauty Rush Cream Shadow in True Blue-They has these products 2/$12 and I thought the color was pretty, and that it might work as a base.


So...that was all the makeup stuff I got. I've been thinking about taking some pics of the things I talk about so that way people can see them. I don't know, I'm still getting used to all this blogging stuff, haha.


Now off to see the bf and go get some Mexican...YEAH! =)

Later!
