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

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!!

Reviews and a tip...

So here are my final reviews of some products. This isn't everything I need to review, but it's most of them.

1. Bourjois Liquid Eyeshadow in Molecule d'or-This is a really good eye shadow! I saw MakeupGeek use this e/s in one of her looks, so I had to try it. This product is sold at Ulta for sure, and it is kind of pricey so be warned. However, I love the creaminess of it and I think the color is gorgeous. I am definitely going to check out some other colors.

2. MAC's Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder-I'm pretty sure I've talked about this one before, but I can't say enough...this product is wonderful! It just finished out your skin and makes it just look smoother and well, finished. I'm not sure if this product is permanent, but everyone should go check it out at their local MAC counter.

3. Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion-So I couldn't make up my mind on this until the other day when my chin was really dry. I put this lotion on my face, and honestly it did nothing. It's kind of a more runny lotion so be warned, and it might work for some people. However, I have really dry skin right now, so I'm going to have to still to my Dove Moisturizer.

4. Benefit Bad Gal Lash-Horrible!! I know I've talked about this one, and believe me, definitely PASS on this crappy mascara!

5. CHI 44 Iron Guard-This is such a good heat protectant! It smells sooo good and it just helps to smooth my hair right before I straighten it. I even curled my hair the other day with my straightener and use this stuff, and it looked to pretty and smooth.

6. Best Bath Store Products-As mentioned in several other blogs...I love this store. But, I will have to say that one of their products didn't really keep working for me and I had to go back to what I was using before.

a.) Acne Bar-This is wonderful! I even bought the full size of it. I use

this bar after I wash my face with another cleanser to get all my makeup off. It really helps to smooth my skin and make it feel even cleaner. I would definitely recommend this!

(Pictured in soap dish from Walmart that is like 97 cents)

b.) Acne Gel-This is the product that I will not be getting anymore. I

got a couple breakouts and used this product, and it didn't seem to have an effect, so, I went back to me Clean and Clear and the breakouts cleared up completely in 2 days!

c.) Facial Scrub-Love this stuff, too! I use this about once a week and

it really just makes my skin feel wonderful and smooth.

d.) Pore Refining Toner-This product is good, but I don't think I'm
going to purchase the full size in it. I don't know, it seemed to work really good for awhile and now I can't really tell the difference. Maybe if I go back to using my old toner I'll see how good this one is, but as of right now I'll use my samples and that's it.

e.) Intense Under Eye Treatment-I got this sample because I do have slight dark circles as well as under my eyes was really dry. I used this for a few nights and really liked how it felt under my eyes, however, it made my eyes really water so I think that there might be something in it that I'm allergic to. My recommendation on this product would be to try a sample and make sure you don't have the same reaction.

So I think that's all the reviews I have right now. I do have a couple more reviews on some products I got from the Best Bath store, but I want to use them more before I review. I really wanted to tell everyone now about Urban Decay's Primer Potion (UDPP)...

I've always really liked UDPP, but like everyone else I hate the packaging. I've used it for a couple months, and I've really been having trouble getting any out. Like most people I was getting ready to toss it. However, a few weeks ago I saw on YouTube how to get the most from you UDPP and I watched as someone cut the bottle in order to dip all the product out. I really thought this looked kind of difficult and not worth it. But, I really liked this product, and I had some time today, so I cut the bottle. Sure enough there was TONS left!! I just wanted to tell you guys that it's an easy process, just cut the bottle at the top and bottle, and you would not believe all that comes out. As I've said I've used mine for awhile, and I still had a lot left! (Pictured in one of the containers at Walmart-2/97cents)

For you people thinking you'll just buy Too Faced Shadow Insurance (TFSI) let me tell you that UDPP is so much better! I hate TFSI and wish I had never purchased it. It may work well on oily lids, but it did nothing for me.

Well, I think that's it for now. Can't wait to go to TN, hopefully I'll have an awesome haul when I get back! =)

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!
