Sephora goodies

I stumbled into sephora the other day and needed to find a nee foundation to control my unruly oily skin.
I was loosing hope thinking I'd just give up on makeup all together than have my face look like the bp oil spill.
Good news I was able to find these amazing items. Some of these are not for my oily skin of course but just a good find.
1. Matte Velvet foundation. I love this foundation becauase its a matte finish no extra powder to set it needed. I have what I like to call ”extremely” oily skin and this I can say was just what the doctor ordered. 2. HD powder. I love this powder not only because a little goes a long way but because ive completely noticed less oil when I started using this (even just this and a powder is flawless)
3. Next is the sephora eyeshadow prisma chrome. Which looks copper but goes on a little more ”orangey”” this was $3 and I haven't even put a dent in it, I use a eyelid primer ”urban decay” or ” jumbo pencil by nyx which really makes this color POP

4. Foundation brush, which is a great applicator and doesn't waste my foundation (aka suck it up). I found circular motions are better than what I call ”painter strokes.” So this foundation gets the full coverage look im going for, without looking caked on! 5. Lastly but never least. The laura mercier sample mascara. I have to add I looove the smell-I use love alot I know. The apllicator makes the mascara glide on so smoothly.. and seperates all my tiny not so long but I wish they were eyelashes. All in all, as always I found great finds at Seohora-they always know how to suite all my makeup needs. A girl like me has a make up addiction and its like a loaded gun when im in a store like this. Hope this review helps you all on your make up adventures.

Make-up Police!! - Cited for makeup abuse

I did a Youtube post not that long ago. If you read my previous post the link is there please check it out!
This is what it looked like after the storm.. I just collected every ounce of makeup I had set up my laptop and decided to do one of the tutorials I saw on Youtube.
I just recently got into this makeup epidemic and love it! However, I have more of a journey ahead of me starting with a Vanity, and maybe some Acrylic storage containers to organize that little caboodle of makeup you see right there on the left!  DSC00764
My Brushes sit in a glass container exposed to dust, hairspray (from when I do my hair) and randomness. My palettes sit in a blue Tupperware like container with a lid- this holds my 4 palettes and some eyelash boxes. Then there's my Cabodle  which has my individual eye shadows, foundation, … aka everything else!!
So most definitely  if there was a makeup police I would definitely be cited. So if anyone has suggestions on how to prevent this citation please let a fellow blogger know Smile

Thanks as always for reading beauties xoxo

My first Youtube Tutorial

I FINALLY posted my you tube video that I did.. last week! It’s been so long because I’m trying to get use to Movie Maker Live then add to that, that there are endless options on how you want your movie to look. So I went with a quick and sweet way for my first one.

http://youtu.be/LSqjUOV0V3I

I’m pretty excited to see it on you tube it’s kind of like seeing yourself on T.V but not believing that’s you on there! Maybe a bit of an exaggeration but look that’s my take on it. Please check it out and leave a comment if you have a you tube yourself I’d love to see your vids.

Thanks for reading Beauties xoxo

One fierce look with 4 items.

I walked into CVS for some baby products and hit the jackpot. Ok ok my kind of jackpot an inspiring make up artist that cant ever have enough make up found a sale buy one get one 50% off so of course i stocked up.  This is one of the 3 shadows i purchased and the mascara ive been wanting to purchase for some time now. 

I love these colors when it says high pigment it means high pigment. I definitely use a primer with my shadows which just adds even more of a pop. 

These do come with a small applicator as well as a small mirror.  The look I created got a ton of rave from my female friends even guys complemented.
All thats needed is
My L'oreal HIP eyeshadow shade 'FLARE.' 
Maybelline falsies mascara
Revlon colorstay liquid liner black
Revlon 'just enough buff.'
Those are the products I will post the look shortly :-)
