Swap: Barry M and Sleek

So I just got done doing a swap with a friend of mine on YouTube/twitter (Joybunny24) She is the sweetest, and from England... So I got to receive alot of amazing things that we can't get in the US!! OMG, I was sooo stoked on getting these sleek palettes! She sent me the "Storm" and the "orignial" palettes! She also sent some Barry M pigments and a palette! yay!! I used to original palette today on my eyes, and I love it (see below). The colors are very pigmented, but a little powdery. I usually don't like powdery but these aren't as bad as others. They are still VERY blendable and usable!! :) What do you guys think...should i do a tutorial with them!? :)

oooooh MAC... Can't get enough of you!

I am loving gleam. super similar to all that glitters but a little pinker! love it!

This is a creamsheen in Cream Cup. Its actually MUCH pinker on your lips than it looks! It suprised me...in a good way! ^_^

I went on a TINY mac binge today... nothing too big... but I had an odd yet very intense urge to buy mac today...and i had to fullfill that urge. So I went and picked up some AMAZING spring things which im totally pumped about!! YAY! Like I said in a few of my videos... my new obsession for spring is pink lips!! So I couldn't pass up a creamy pink lipstick...beautiful!! But for some reason it didn't really stop the urge. I want to go back tomorrow. haha. But I wont.... from now on.. I am allowing myself 3 MAC products a month... period. I think that sounds fair!! what do you think??

Bronze wing and green for spring... :)

This is a new look for me because I used a bronze, burgudy eye liner on top...and you all know I LOVE black eyeliner and black smokey shadow. :) This is a very pretty look especially if you are wearing brown tones that day. I also LOVE the green underneath the eye. It brings out the red in the eyeliner. :) Is this a look you guys would use? What is a look you would like to see from me in the future. I definitly want to do a very dark smokey eye soon. I did have one up, but due to the copyrights...I had to take them down! :(

Other than that, I am planning alot of great videos, and tutorials. I would like to get more hair tutorials up to.

Hope you guys have an amazing day!! xoxo

Dizzy for Rimmel

Rimmel lipstick in Dizzy is my new obsession! pink lips in the spring is one of my favorite things. I plan on doing a makeup look using this color! Its to die for! :) What do you guys think?

Today has been a pretty slow day. Well actually its gone by VERY fast, but i haven't done much of anything super important! Went to the grocery store... which I hate doing. But I always drive out of my way to Fred Meyer because they have makeup and jewelry there which makes it much more fun. haha.

BTW, don't forget to check out my contest on YouTube. And of course...DON'T FORGET TO ENTER! There are great prizes...and ALOT of prizes so you have a great chance of winning at least SOMETHING. :)

thanks for reading!

Some new Makeup.... Review vid coming soon!

I got a blending brush and a flat shader brush! I LOVE the flat shader brush!! It is great for pressing colors on your lid over a base to give you a VERY vivid bright color!! The blending brush is great too. Its definitly more of a stiffer blending brush which is nice sometimes...but I tend to go toward the limper blending brushes...but they are both SUPER soft!!

You guys all know how big of a fan I am of Powder foundations..and I have been wanting to try Palladio's out FOREVER! great product, and great coverage!! Although I'm not a fan of the packaging and the brush inside is low quality. I set this foundation with my mineral veil from Bare minerals!

I love this Palladio blush bronzing compact. its SOOO similar to one of my other favorite products! the Victoria Secret mosaic blush. Although the Palladio one is slightly less sparkly. Still LOVING it though!!


Palladio lips stain!! If you guys remember in one of my makeup tutorials...I mentioned that I liked having I light color underneath of a nude gloss to give my nude lips a slight bit of pink... Just so I don't look dead. Well this is GREAT because it's a light pink stain!! I put my nude gloss over the top and it gives a little color to the nude lip. Then when your gloss wears off...you still have some color to your lips!! I also really like the felt tip applicator...it smells GREAT too!

Sonia Kashuk concealer palette.... NEW OBSESSION!! I love it more than the hard candy one I have been using!! This reminds me more of my favorite Sephora one...just a little bit thicker in consistency. I KNOW I will be buying this again!

Here is a pic of everything together! :) I also got Some rice paper oil blotters. Great to carry around in your purse so you can keep your face from looking glossy! :)

Keep a look out for a video on these products!! There will also be some clothes in the haul as well... I have been waiting for a forever 21 package for what seems like FOREVER. But I think i just get a little but impatient when i order online...it really hasn't been that long! :)

Thanks for watching and reading lovelies!!

You can buys palladio at http://www.palladiobeauty.com/ or sally's beauty supply

New Makeup Look!!

I LOVE green looks, and it brings out brown eyes SO well! I'm a little frustrated though...I'm working on trying to get my lighting better...and its just not perfect yet! Once I post the video, let me know what you guys think of the lighting, or if I should change it up a little bit!

Is this a look you are excited to see? Is there anything else you guys have in mind as far as makeup tutorials?

ELF is finally here!!!

I just realized there is a whole layer in here that you cant see. I didn't pull the sides out completely. There is a great bronzer and blush...and eye brow shade!! you will see it in the vid!

This eye lid primer rocks...it reminds me alot of UDPP.

These are the bases that i absoluty LOVE!! Im a base fanatic!

FINALLY! My ELF order came in after like 2 1/2 weeks!! So frustrating when you have to wait that long! but it was worth it, because I got some great stuff, and the free gift was awesome! Watch mu haul video on my YouTube to find out how you COULD get a free gift too!! The colors are fantastic, and very pigmented, and they are shades that I would wear everyday, so i was super happy about that!! I also got some more makeup in from Palladio Beauty Group...which I LOVE. There is one product specifically that I am dying for....and I know for a fact I will order it again! I will post a video and blog post about those products as well. I have a great tutorial in mind for that! YAY!

Other than that...I have a lonely couple weeks coming up. Actually make that 3 weeks! My husband has to travel to 3 different cities around the US for work...and its seriously 3 weeks straight! The longest we have ever been apart is like 2 weeks, and that was at the VERY beginning of relationship, so that doesn't really count! ha ha. But I'm going to miss him so much, and I get SUPER scared about his plane trips! I always psyche myself out and think he is going to get in a plane crash. I have always been like that. :( All I know is he is going to make a lot of $$ while he is gone, and I promised myself I wouldn't buy any clothes or makeup for a month...so maybe we can save a little bit this month! ha ha.

That's about it girlie's!! Sorry the lack of vids. I have been trying my hardest to get my HD camera to work with different editing programs and I CANT figure it out!! Not to mention...my computer died, so I have been using my hubby's...and ALL my software was on mine. NOT COOL. But I figured out what to do...so there should be a vid up by tomorrow!

Love you guys!
