My Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows : Metal Collection, Limited Edition & Permanent Line

Hello my lovelies :)

Today I am going to show you my Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadows!

I have 7 to show you, and they are from 3 different collections. So let's get started!

Metal Collection

     I recently bought two new eyeshadows. They are from the 'Metal Collection' which just came out, exciting! There are 5 new shades (I think). 

Here are the two that I bought:

Electric Blue (left), Barely Branded (right)

I absolutely love the shades from the new collection! And as far as I know, they are going to be a part of the permanent line, yay!!

There are 3 other shades that I did not buy ... yet :) There's a pink one, a yellow gold, and a silver one!  I picked these because they were my favourite. And I love them paired together.  'Barely Branded' is similar to 'Barely Beige' from the Limited Edition Collection, but it is a bit more yellow toned, and the other one is a bit more pink toned. I like this one better though.

Electric Blue is the most beautiful rich dark blue navy colour with subtle silver shimmer in it, it's gorgeous! It's not as pigmented as 'Barely Branded', takes a few more swipes to get opaque colour payoff, but it's still beautiful! Definitely recommend these two shades :)

Limited Edition Collection

So I only bought one shade from this collection. The others didn't really appeal to me, and I heard reviews of the fuchsia color (which I originally wanted) that it wasn't very pigmented, and streaky.  So I decided to get this one :

300 Gold Shimmer

This shade is just the prettiest golden brownish colour. It's probably the most pigmented eyeshadow from this line that I have! Love it :)

Permanent Collection

I have four eyeshadows from the main permanent collection :)

Tough as Taupe (left), Audacious Asphalt (right)

Love these two shades. They are both very rich and pigmented. Tough as Taupe is the most matte of all the shades I own. 'Audacious Asphalt' has large chunks of silver glitter in it. They are both amazing! :)

 Too Cool (top), Painted Purple (bottom)

I do not particularly love these two shades. 'Too Cool' is a little on the chunky side, and isn't completely smooth/creamy when you try to use it. And 'Painted Purple' doesn't swatch as well, its a little on the sheer side, but build able! They are great colours, just not my favourites! :)

So that's all for this post guys! I hope you enjoyed reading :) Now go out and get you some of those new shades before they're all gone! They sell out super fast!

Have a wonderful day/night :)

TAG: $200 Santa Wish List!

Hello Everybody :)

It's currently 4:41am, and I feel like writing a little blog! So here is the $200 Santa Wish List Tag! 

I tag ALL OF YOU to do this! :) Leave a comment, video, or write your own post! 

Here it goes!

#1 Urban Decay Vice Palette , $59

I've had my eye on this palette since it came out! I really want to give it a try. I have the Naked Palette, the Sustainable Palette, and the Vegan Palette, and I would love to try another one! This one seems to have a nice range of colour and neutrals, and of course they are pigmented! Hoping to get this for Christmas!

I've given my boyfriend a hint or two suggested this is what I wanted, hopefully he caught on ;) haha!

#2 A lighted mirror , $34.99

I would really like to get a mirror like this for Christmas! Especially for when I film eye tutorials, and do my makeup at night time! You'd be surprised at how hard it is to do your makeup in the dark ;)  lol

#3 Vanity Stool , $59.99

I really need a new stool for my vanity! The one I have now is from a yard sale, and it's just falling apart! Hoping to get a new one this Christmas so I don't have to worry about my stool collapsing under me every time I do my makeup! Haha, and this stool is just so freaking cute! <3

#4 A Tripod , $18

I could really use a tripod! Nothing to fancy, just something that will support my heavy camera! haha, the one I have now broke, and is very small/cheap. Hopefully I'll be able to get a new one this Christmas so I can film more frequently without having to spend 30 minutes stacking books and boxes for my current tiny a** tripod!

:)

#5 Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner , $19

I am DYING to try some of these eyeliners! They look amazing. I recently watched a video from xSparkage on youtube, and she used the Gold one called 'ElDorado', it looks amazing! Really hoping to get to try some of these bad boys out this Christmas! :)

Let me know in the comments if you guys have tried any of these things out! 

Well I guess that completes this tag! I think that was pretty close to $200 , lol. Maybe a little over ;)

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this! Can't wait to hear what your wish list is!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Fall Makeup Haul Photos + Swatches

Hey peeps :)

Here's the link to my Fall Makeup Haul, if you want to check it out!

Bath and Body Works Haul - Fall Collection 2012

Hi Everyone :)

I've got some photos from my bath and body works haul for you today! I recently bought a TON of stuff from there, mostly from the new Fall Collection!

You can check out the video here :

These are all of the candles I bought! They had a deal going on for 3 for $6, so I bought all these :) They are all in the smallest size!

'Cinnamon Nut Bread' and 'Cinnamon Sugared Donut' are the sweetest, yummiest smelling candles ever! I think if you buy one, you don't really need to buy the other, since they both smell like cinnamon.. haha, but so good! 

'Farmstand Apple' is the most unique smelling candle ever. It smells like red apples SPOT ON! If you love red apples, this is the candle for you! 'Lemon Mint Leaf' smells pretty good too. Not my favourite, but I still like it! The lemon smell is stronger than the mint.

'Autumn' smells exactly like it says. It reminds me of leaves, grass, and flower, but slightly sweet. It's an awesome candle for this season! So is 'Leaves'. I would describe leaves as a little more sweet and minty smelling! Really awesome candle, and one of the most popular!

Best hand sanitizer ever! Smells like plums, but very sweet, and doesn't leave a toxic smell on your hands when you use it! Smells a lot like perfume throughout the day. I've almost completely used this one up! Love it.

I hate this sanitizer :( Smells awful. Makes me want to vomit when I smell it on my hands. Getting whiffs of this scent on your hands throughout the day sucks. I really don't like it, and don't recommend it. It has a very toxic-like smell.

I haven't smelled this one yet! It's called "brew berry Potion". But the packaging is so cute ;)

Faint smell of marshmallows. LOVE the packaging! Couldn't resist, had to get it ;) haha!

Love this one! Smells amazing, like a perfume. Cherry like scent, very nice!

I hope you enjoyed this post! What have you been buying at Bath and Body Works lately!? I recommend a lot of the new products from the Fall Collection! There's some pretty good stuff :)

Thanks for reading! Talk to you all next time.

Fall Makeup Haul 2012

Wet n Wild Palette SWATCHES!

Hello Lovelies :)

So basically I just wanted to show you the swatches of all the wet n wild palettes that I own! 

I have to say, I absolutely LOVE the wet n wild eyeshadows.  Most of them are AMAZINGLY pigmented, and SUPER CHEAP! The trios retail for about $2.99, and the 8 Shadow Palettes at $4.99 I believe. SO CHEAPPP!

It's so nice to finally have really affordable and accessible HIGHLY pigmented eyeshadows at the drugstore!

Here are some swatches of all the wet n wild palettes that I own :

This is a trio called "Cool as a Cucumber"

As you can see, the colours are very pigmented, but they aren't as pigmented as the other trios I own. I don't find myself reaching for this trio as often, but I still like it!

You may enjoy this trio more if you are really into green shadows!

This one is called "Sweet as Candy"

A lot of people compare this palette to the "Walking on Eggshells" palette. Personally, I like the colours in this one WAYY better :)

Again, very pigmented! The pink isn't as vibrant as the other two shades though.

"Knock on Wood" is my newest purchase, and I LOVE it! It's PERFECT for fall :) All the shades are extremely vibrant. This is the most pigmented trio I own. Loving it so much!

This is one of my 8 Eyeshadow Palettes, called "Petal Pusher". I love this palette, purple eyeshadows are great for those of us with hazel eyes. Not all of the shades in this palette are as pigmented, but the majority of them are very dark! Unfortunately the flash in this photo kind of washes out some of the colours. Great palette overall though! My favourite shade is the second one down from the top :)

"Blue had me at Hello" is the last of my wet n wild palettes! Don't they have AWESOME names??? Lol

This is my favourite palette! Every single colour is HIGHLY pigmented! You barely need to touch the colour with your brush. They are just soooo silky smooth!!!

The black shade on the top is the least pigmented of them all, just because it has a ton of silver glitter in it. But who doesn't love glitter right?? 

Overall, an AMAZING palette! I definitely recommend it.

Sometimes blue eyeshadows are hard to work with, but you can definitely use them, without them looking too ridiculous!

You can head on over to my youtube channel to see some tutorials using some of these palettes :)

I hope you guys found this post helpful! The pictures aren't the best quality, but you can pretty much see the pigmentation of the colours!

Now go get you some wet n wild palettes!

'Neutral/Smokey Eye' Using Drugstore Makeup

I got a request to do a drugstore series, therefore, I decided to do my drugstore foundation routine, and also an eye make up look :) I can definitely do more looks, with lots of different eye shadows, but for starters, I came up with this golden smokey eye look! I love it!

To see how to do it, check out the video HERE :)

What products did I use?

Base: Maybelline Color Tatto Cream Eyeshadow in 'Too Cool'

Eyeshadow Palettes: Maybelling EyeStudio Palette in 'Caffeine Rush' and Wet n' Wild Palette in 'Petal     Pusher'

Eyeliners: Maybelline Line Stilleto Liquid Liner (black) and Maybelline EyeStudio Eyeliner Pencil(black)

Mascaras: Maybelline Lash Stilleto Mascara in 'Brownish Black' and Maybelline Great Last Mascara in 'Blackest Black'

Lipstick: Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in 'Heavenly'

Lip gloss: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Pink Whisper'

The Finished Look:

I love this look for everyday. I wear a smokey ish eye pretty much everyday. I love drugstore products.  I would probably do something like this on a daily basis, using different products.  I love a pink lip with any eye look! As you guys know, I love pink and coral lips!

Keep a look out for my next drugstore eye makeup look!

My Flawless Foundation Routine ft. Drugstore Products

Hello Lovlies!

Hope you are all doing well!

I just filmed my Drugstore foundation routine!

To watch how how I apply everything, and to see the products up close, click HERE. :)

To make it easier for you guys, I'll post a few pictures, and include a list of all the products I used below! :)

I would love for you to give me any feedback, and tell me what face products do or don't work for you!

My Foundation Routine

I know I look a little... funny here. This is a screenshot from my routine on youtube! :) Hehe. But anyways, here you can see how I look once all my face products have been applied! This is how I look almost everyday, just with different blushes/highlights/contours. More or less, this is my look :)

What products did I use?

Foundation : Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse in 'Buff Beige'

Concealer : Maybelline Instant Age Rewind

Powder : Maybelline FIT me pressed powder 

Bronzer : NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in 'Sunny'

Contour : Brown shade from the 'Blush and Contour' palette by Coastal Scents

Highlighter : ELF Studio Blush in 'Gotta Glow'

Blush : Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in 'Hot Tamale' (as a base)

             NYX blush in 'Spicy' (over the top)

So this is basically the foundation routine I do everyday. I like to switch up some of the products. I change my blush everyday, as well as my high light. But I normally use the same foundation, and contour.  I absolutely love the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation. It's amazing! I've been using it for about a year now, and LOVE it. It's perfect for my skin since I tend to get a little dry. And it would probably be great if you have oily skin as well, if you put a powder over top! :) 

I hope you enjoyed this, and keep a lookout for my "Drugstore Eye Makeup Tutorial" which I will be uploading and writing about sometime soon!

Thanks again, and I'll talk to you next time!

The most FABULOUS lipsticks of them all!

I loveeeee lipstick!

I don't have THAT many, but out of the ones I do have, I picked out my favourite top 10! :)

These lipsticks are both drugstore and high end lipsticks.  The colour range is infinite! :) I love nudes, pinks, corals, reds, everything! 

So here are some swatches of me favourite top 10 lipsticks!

To see the video, where I briefly talk about and show you each one, CLICK HERE! <3

And now, for some swatcherooosss:

TOP, Left to Right : Covergirl Lip Perfection in 'Heavenly', 'Kiss', 'Rapture', 'Fairytale', Maybelline Color Sensation 'Peachy Scene', Revlon Colorburst 'Soft Nude', Revlon Lip Butter 'Sweet Tart'.

MAC Frost Lipstick 'Angel', MAC Satin Lipstick 'Snob', and MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick 'Vegas Volt'

Here's a picture of me wearing 'Snob' by MAC.  You can see in this picture just how purply it is in real life.  It's kind of hard to tell in photos what lipsticks actually look like on your lips!

I hope this post gave you guys some great lipstick ideas! You should totally try some of them out! I know most of them are pinks, nudes, and corals, but they're my favourite! I absolutely adore pink lipsticks, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out my youtube channel, linked at the top of my blog ;)
