ELF Matte Lip Color in Coral

I am so impressed with these ELF matte lip colors! They are matte yet it doesn't feel drying on the lips. This color "Coral" is such a pretty peachy nude. It doesn't look orange on the lips. It glides on nice and smooth as well. One thing I find particularly annoying is the way the lip color is shaped, it has a pointy tip which can be hard to apply. If you were wondering if you should purchase one of these! I would definitely recommend one.

Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Private Viewing

As mentioned in my previous post about the Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Cruise Collection I enjoyed the color. This one in Private Viewing is a no go for me... This color is a nude that washes me out making me look like I am sick. When I wear this lipstick alone I look like I am sick and my lips are chapped and pale. Also since this lipstick has a frost finish it makes the lipstick even more unflattering on me. The way I like to wear this lipstick is to wear this and put on Lioele's Blooming Gloss in Vanilla Pink. Wearing a lip gloss that has a bit of color on top of this makes it look a lot more flattering on me.

H&M Lipstick in Darling Pink

I went into H&M the other day walking around and stumbled upon the makeup area. I saw these lipsticks and saw this color "Darling Pink" and I thought wow this is so pretty! These lipsticks are $5.95 which isn't too expensive so I thought eh why not? "Darling Pink" is a pretty pink that isn't too bright. It's a nice wearable color that's not too nude or too bright, it's actually the perfect amount of color to brighten up your look. One thing I found that I didn't like about this lipstick is the packaging and the way it feels on my lips. The packaging tends to feel pretty cheap especially when you twist the lipstick up. This lipstick can make my lips feel pretty dry. Other than those 2 cons, this is a pretty good lipstick!

love & beauty by Forever 21 Eyelash Curler

Went to Forever 21 and saw this whole display of makeup and makeup tools! I saw so many eyelash curlers in so many colors I couldn't resist and decided to buy one! The majority of the eyelash curlers are only $2.80! With that price...I just HAD to get one. So I bought the one in gold with the black padding. I came home and tried it out. I must say I am really impressed. A lash curler this cheap actually curls my lashes and the curl actually lasts!

Nars And God Created The Woman Eye Kit


When I got the e-mail from Sephora that there was this new eye kit I knew I wanted this! Finally picked it up yesterday and my first impression was that this kit looked so much smaller than what I imagined. Anyways I was so excited to have bought this palette! The colors are so pretty in this palette and the eyeshadow primer and little brush is just a bonus! 
I feel that this kit is really worth your money $59 for 6 shadows, an eyeshadow, and a brush! I haven't tried out the base yet but I have heard good things. The brush is so small yet the bristles are so dense and packed. This is a great palette and really worth the money! If you're interested definitely go and give this a try.

Too Faced Glamour to Go

I got this palette as a gift for my Birthday/Christmas! I must say this palette is exactly what it's called "Glamour to Go" because you can just take this palette with you and you would be set for the day! It has 8 eye shadows, 1 blush, 1 bronzer, and 1 lip gloss. Now the eye shadows are somewhat pigmented not all of them have the best pigmentation but some of the pigmentation is amazing! The blush is a really pretty peachy-pink color, and I do enjoy the blush a lot. The bronzer on the other hand tends to look too orange for me. So I do not really use it too much. The lip gloss is a pretty pearlescent champagne color and if you don't blend it out, it can look a little weird on your lips. Overall this palette is great if you really need to take one palette with you because it has everything you would need!

Chevron Canvas

So I had this old canvas since freshman year. Now as you can tell from the before pics I am not artistic. I had this project to do when I was freshman and it just did not come out right (good thing I had an extra canvas, so my final project was not bad). Anyways, I was bored on my Sunday night so I thought why not revamp this old canvas I had? So I googled how to make a chevron canvas and made my boxes and painted this. Now I had very minimal tools to do this. Did not have enough white paint...used scotch tape instead of masking tape...my canvas was not white. I am sure if you want to make one and had the right tools your canvas will come out a lot better than mine!
