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!? :)

Drugstore Dupe!!!!

As you all know, MAC's See Sheer Lipstick is my all time favorite! Its definitely my MOST worn lipstick...and I have been wearing it so much lately it was about time I stopped by the MAC counter to get another one. That was until today..when I was strolling through Target and I saw a bunch of makeup on clearence! I started going through the lip stick when I heard music from the heavens.... There it was...an exact dupe to MACs See Sheer lipstick!! (I love how dramatic i am... >_< lol)Anywho.... I was beyond excited, and even MORE excited when I realized it was 2.50! Holla!!!! lol. What lipstick is it you ask?? Maybelline Color sensational Lipstick in Park Ave Peach. And to be honest.. I MIGHT like this one a little more. The MAC one is a lustre finish which I like...but they don't seem to last a LONG time because they are so glossy. The maybelline one still has gloss, but its not AS much..so I feel like it has more staying power! But they are pretty much as close as you can get to "dupes"!

The thing I love about these colors is that you get the look of "red" lips without looking too over the top like you packed on the cherry red lipstick! it's seriously the perfect color ever!! Stop by your local drugstore and pick it up ASAP! you wont be dissapointed!

Check out the swatches!! :)



This is the color of them on your lips... I didn't do both because they look the same... >_< lol

Thanks for reading. ^_~

Shu Uemura Suprise

Let me just say, today was a good day...

I had an hour until my clients appointment today, so I decided randomly to stop by my local makeup store since I needed a new brush cleaner! Surprisingly I never make it in there because I know I will spend alot of money so I avoid it. :) lol. OR... its always closed when I am walking by. However, Today was my lucky day! I saw the Shu Uemura lash curler and told the lady to throw that in too. She told me that Shu Uemura was no longer going to be sold in the states, only other countries, and online... so she was getting rid of all of her testers for $5.00!! Tester Shmester!!! I almost had a heart attack considering these shadows are about 22.00 regular priced, so I knew there might be a little dent I'm my wallet after this discovery. After a while, she mentions that she is selling the brushes too.... for $10.00!! S.U. brushes are also very spendy.... some being 100.00! so I scored 2 of those! Then she threw in a free lip gloss just to be nice.

It was pretty much the best day ever.


Here are some pics of my treasures... lol. And a couple swatches!










Before I use them, I'm going to brush them off with a clean mascara wand. Luckilly eye shadows dont grow bacteria as much as other makeup. :)

Vemomous Villians!

OK so, I know I'm a little late on this..... BUT OMG, I have been doing research on this line for quite sometime and I'm just stoked beyond belief! haha. I am a Disney lover through thick and thin. I'm pretty much obsessed with all things Disneyland, and my favorite vacation spot IS Disneyland. When i found out they were doing this line, I knew i would buy alot from it! But I'm not too keen on the packaging I must say. To me it looks a kind of... little kiddish. lol. Something that you would see at walmart in the kids makeup section or something. I think they could have done something MUCH more creative and dark with the packaging..so I was a little disappointed about that. :( But the names are great, and so excited to see the actual colors in person.

I cant wait to see a Disney Princess collection in the future lol... who is with me on that? But lets up the packaging, and make it more GLAM! I can only imagine a pink blush in "loves me, loves me not" or a a shadow palette in "beauty and the crease" LOL just kidding... but seriously. ;)

Lets hear YOUR thoughts! :)

A day in the life of Carah and Travis

I'm so sorry I have been so bad about updating my blog. I am hating my old small camera, and i think its taking worse and worse pictures by the day, so I hardly carry it with me anymore....and our Cannon Rebel is too big! But I PROMISE I will be better! :)

I thought this would be a fun post to do. Just a day in the life of me and Travis. Let me know what you think of this and if you would want to see something like this again?! Plus, its a fun little outfit of the day type of thing too if you want to look at it that way! haha.

We didn't really do much. We had the WHOLE day off, so we decided to check out some houses from the tour of homes in our city. We basically just wanted to see the over 1 million dollar houses... haha. here is the recap of our day!



This pic was taken at a little cafe for lunch. This was the first time we had ever been to this neighborhood...and we had NO IDEA it was like a little town of its own! We have been here for 2 years, so it was fun discovering a new place! Although the sammies were kinda gross... hahaha.



HAHA this is a random pic... but there was a bike race in the area that we had NO idea about, so we stopped to watch that a for a bit, and he snapped this random photo. Just me and my beloved Diet Pepsi.



LOL, ok...so this is so me and Travis. On the way to the first house we were touring we saw this amazing little Field of yellow daisies. being the random people we are we decided to stop for a pic. Yellow is one of my fave colors, so I couldn't pass up a pic in a Field of little yellow daisies.. i mean come on. LOL


LOL, this is a pic of us putting on out little booties before going into the million dollar house. ^_^



After the HOT day outside, we decided to stop my McDonald's for one of their new smoothies they just came out with. YUMMY!! definitely sop by sometimes, they are delish. And I am pretty sure they are pretty healthy for you too! :)

Hope you enjoyed this little random blog post! :)

Let me know if you want to see more!

20's style fun!

One of my best friends had her birthday this weekend, and she decided to do a murder mystery theme. Basically its just a game where everyone has their own parts and you have to try to figure out who the murderer is by asking people questions about their character, and trying to bribe people for information! I was actually really hard. But you had to stay in character all night! haha. I was Carrie Crooner Ravioli... and i was married to "Big" Jim Ravioli who was killed at the beginning of the night. haha. It was a blast! but i had the most fun dressing up, and doing the makeup! look out for a makeup tutorial on this look REALLY soon!
