Also these are the lippie stix that I got and their swatches...

My favorites are Bitchette and Creature <3

Tip for using shadows apply with your fingers and then blend with the brush.

The shadows are so amazing you don't even need a primer first! 

Also a lot of people have asked if these can be depotted, the answer to that is since they are kind of a creamy shadow consistency they can't be depotted because they will dry up. You need to make sure to close them properly after each use. 

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me! I love chatting with people. :)

So now you've seen the colors that I swatched which ones are your favorite and which ones do you just have to have?

Thanks for checking out my post :) XOXO

ColourPop Cosmetics Lippie Stix

So you all already heard in my last post that I am obsessed with ColourPop Cosmetics they are just such great quality for how much they cost it just amazes me! I can't stop raving about them! So this is just a short post about the Lippie Stix that I got.

The names from left to right are:

Heart On (matte) 

Trixie (satin)

Dalia (matte)

Bitchette (matte)

Pony (satin)

Ellarie (matte)

Bossy (matte)

Bound (glossy)

Creature (matte)

Frenchie (matte)

Clique (matte)

Here are the swatches on my arm. They are very creamy and go on smooth. Very pigmented and you really need to scrub to get them to come off! You also get a lot of product for your $5.

If you guys are interested check out the website there are so many other colors available. If you couldn't tell already I love reds! Lol...

My Latest makeup obsession!

I know I've been MIA for a while I'm sorry. It's was a busy and crazy end of year for me. Most of my kids birthday's are at the end of the year (one in November and two in December!) and not to mention the holidays! Also I transferred companies for my job and that took a little getting used to! But I'm back... for now... So let's get down to business!

ColourPop Cosmetics is my new makeup obsession!!! I was introduced to it around Christmas time by one of the facebook beauty sites that I'm a part of. This makeup is amazingly pigmented, lasts forever, and the best part.... It's cheap! Everything is $5 a piece!!??!! Can you say great deal! So far I have 3 shadows and three lipsticks, two lip liners, and more on the way! 

Another nice thing about ColourPop.com is that with a $30 purchase you get free shipping and if you sign up for the newsletter you get a $5 promo code emailed to you.

So this is my first order that I've received...

It comes in such a cute box with a handwritten note too!!!

Awesome huh!?!

These are what the lipsticks and liners look like.

Here are the swatches of my lippie Stix!

This is with one swipe of my finger over the shadows I got! I love them!!! They are amazing! I want them all!!! They feel unlike any other shadow I've ever felt. It's really soft and kind of feels like a sponge. They can't be depoted because if you don't close the container they will dry out and won't be the same.  :( 

But yeah these are my new favorite shadows. You need to use your fingers to apply it to get the best overall results but I do use a fluffy blending brush in the crease area to diffuse the color a little. Also another tip is it's good to pat it on. 

 

Here is a look I did yesterday with them...

I hope you enjoyed my short post and check out colourpop cosmetics! <3

My first MAC purchase!!!

So after being a makeup obsessed person my whole life I was kind of surprised that I don't own any MAC make up. So I thought it was about time to try it out to see what the hype is all about. So I ordered this set...

M.A.C. Cosmetics

It's called the keepsake red lip bag. The items that are included in the set are Ruby Woo matte lipstick ($16 value), Ruby Woo lipglass ($15 value), Ruby Woo lip pencil ($16 value), all inside a beautiful limited-edition cream glitter makeup bag with pearl beaded trim and a cameo-encrusted zipper pull. (I'm not sure of the value of the bag). I only paid $39.50!!! When the value without the pretty makeup bag is $47, so it was a great starter set for me! 

I love the lipstick! The color is very long lasting, I put it on in the morning ate breakfast and drank my coffee and it was still fresh looking! It was a little drying but when I felt like I needed to I just put some Chapstick on. The lipglass on the other hand I HATED! I've never had a problem with getting lip products on my teeth but this one some how endded up on my teeth during the day. Used it once, never again! It was kind of sticky too. Just not for me. The lip liner I didn't have a problem with I like it, I don't have much else to say about it.

Me with my new foundation and lipstick on!

The other two items I got was MAC studio fix fluid spf 15 foundation in NC20 it's ok but not the greatest I've tried. I keep finding myself reach for my Urban Decay Naked foundation instead. This one doesn't feel like it has very good full coverage with application. I applied it with my beauty blender so I don't know. 

The other item I got was Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Pressed Powder I love the black glittery compact it comes in and it works pretty well to mattify my face throughtout the day and minimize the shine. 

So that is my first order with M.A.C. cosmetics and overall I was mostly impressed with their lipsticks and with probably getting more in the near future!

What are your thoughts on M.A.C. products and what are your favorites that you think I should try?

Favorite Subscription Box!

So I have a little bit of a shopping problem and I love receiving mail. This is what I come home to on a regular basis...

The subsription boxes I receive monthly are ...

two IPSY bags per month

two BIRCHBOXES per month (I'm still waiting on one of my October boxes!)

sample society box from Allure/beautybar.com

Boxycharm

Glossybox

I love all of them but I think the one I cannot live without is birchbox. I'm even considering getting rid of my glossybox or boxycharm to get another birchbox! But I don't want to get rid of them either!

I love birchbox so much because of their spectacular customer service! It is devine!!! They always go above and beyond to make sure your happy and the problem is fixed. Sometimes if they get your box wrong or something broke, they send you a whole new box and let you keep the old one. Or if your box is late like mine is this month they gave me 100 points for the shop, which is $10!!! 

Birchbox gives you the chance to try out all sorts of products for only $10 so you can decide if you really like the product before committing to buying a full size!

At the same time you are earning part of your money back each month when you review your items from your box. Each item you receive and review you get 10 points. Your box usually has 5 items sometimes more. So five items is $5 back for you to spend in the shop.  So in a way the box is only $5 a month not $10. 

They also started giving you the option to pick one of your samples to receive in your box from a select few each month! Like this month I picked the model co. lipstick which is a full size item!!!

I have fallen in love with so many products that I have tried from my birchbox, I've also bought a lot of the full size products of the samples I received in my box. 

The items I bought in full size are...

A Beauty blender

Origins GinZing eye cream

Beauty protector conditioning spray

Suki facial scrub

Acure brightening facial scrub

Camille Beckman glycerin hand therapy in Tuscan honey

Davines Ol All in one milk, shampoo, and conditioner

Dr. Brandt Pores No More

Supergoop CC cream

Macadamia Flawless conditioning cleanser 

Once you get to 500 points in a calendar year you are considered an ACE member, which means free shipping, first dibs on the monthly picks, and other gifts! 

I admit when I signed up for birchbox I was only going to try it and cancel because I thought I wouldn't like it because it seemed like too much hair and skin products. But now that I have it I love the variety of makeup, skin care, and hair products. I've actually come to love skin care products and I've been taking better care of my skin since joining. 

So out of all my subscription boxes that I get this is one that I plan on keeping FOREVER! (As long as they stay as awesome as they are now!)

So if you are interested in trying out this awesome subscription box click my link and try it out!

Promo codes:

BBJETBLUE for 100 points = $10 in the shop

It looks so fancy! I love it!!!

What's inside the box... there are a mixture of 5 full size and deluxe samples and a card that talks about each item.

Essie (nail polish)
In She's Pampered

Full size!!! Value $8.50

You can buy the full size HERE for $8.50

I haven't had a chance to use this yet since I get my nails professionally done and only do my toes maybe twice a month but when I do I will update you.  I do love the color though! Reds are my favorite for my toes, it makes me look tanner!  :)

Benefit Cosmetics 

They're Real Mascara 

Deluxe size, Value $10

You can buy the full size HERE for $23.

I already use this mascara daily so I'm glad I got a small one to keep in my purse! It makes my lashes look so long and thick. I would recommend it to anyone.

BVLGARI

Eau Parfumée au thé vert conditioner

Deluxe sample (2.53 fl oz), Value $16.84

You can buy the full size (6.76 oz) HERE for $45.

I used this and was not impressed didn't make a difference in my hair at all. It smelled kind of nice but not enough to spend $45 on.

VICHY
LiftActiv Night
Deluxe sample (0.51 fl oz), Value $15.10

You can buy the full size (1.69 oz)  HERE for $50.

I haven't tried this I'm not sure I will. I don't really do night creams yet...

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS
In Black Dahlia Lip Tar (Matte)
Full size!!! (0.34 fl oz), Value $18.

You can buy the full size HERE for $18.

I love the color of this! It's a deep red and I love the cute little lip brush it comes with! My grandma on the other hand didn't like it on me. LOL! I will post a picture of me wearing it later and you guys can tell me what you think.

So in all I am very pleased with my first Glossybox I paid only $21.00 and the value of my box was $68.44. I can't wait to find out what I'm getting next month!!!

Too Faced Everything Nice Palette Review

So I decide to purchase this palette on a whim. It was so pretty and eye-catching and it was a plus that it came with a make up bag! 

Front cover

Inside

It comes with the deluxe size better than sex mascara and a glittery pink makeup bag. I was really excited about the make up bag but once I received it and I tried to put the palette inside it didn't fit so I was pretty disappointed. Also the glitter on the bag falls off and makes a mess! What's the point of it coming with the make up bag if it doesn't even fit inside of it? 

Next I swatched the colors...

These are the first two rows. Some of them were kind of chalky. Didn't go on as smooth as some of the other eyeshadows that I have like urban decay or other too faced

 palettes that I have. 

Here the next two rows. My favorite of the whole palette is the last one on the top row in this picture. I'll probably be returning this palette. It's not worth it for only one eyeshadow that I like.

The brushes are cheaper quality than the regular teddy bear brushes that too faced makes you'd be better off getting their original teddy bear brushes then these. 

Don't get me wrong I still love this brand but this product for me was not to my liking. 

But at least now you guys know what I think of it and hopefully it helps some of you out. Thanks for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to leave me a comment. 

Anybody else that has bought this palette what do you think of it?

Tarte 12 piece eyeliner swatches!

I decided to swatch my new tarte eyeliners tonight. It's the first time I've ever tried tarte pencil liners I usually use Urban Decay, Ulta, or Sephora's. But these are pretty awesome! They are very pigmented and creamy! Glides on like butter! I love that they came in a cute little roller bag with a eye pencil sharpener too!

From left to right:

Golden plum, Hunter green, chocolate, Navy, charcoal, brown, black, bronze, antique gold, jungle green, plum, and nude

In all I think this was a great purchase for only $25!!!! What a steal!!!! I know that it is still available on tartes website for $25 or $50 on QVC.

Here is the link for tartes website...

My Sephora Haul

So I live in a town of 350 and the closest mall is over an hour away and it isn't even that great of a mall. It has a maurices, rue 21, bath & body works and a few other stores. So almost everything that I buy is from online. 


So here is an order that I just received from Sephora. Later I'm planning to do a post of my eyeliner swatches!


I bought the the Lorac Silver Screen eye collection because I tried a sample of the lorac eye primer and fell in love and wanted the full size but its $20 so instead I bought this for only $28 and got the full size Behind The Scenes Eye Primer (0.53 oz.), a beautiful silver eyeshadow in Silver Screen (0.06 oz.), a full size Cobra Mascara (0.25 oz.), and a full size eyeliner, Front of the Line Pro in Black (0.02 fl. oz.) An $83 value! 

I got a deluxe Lorac mascara free as a gift with purchase!

I bought the Tarte Eye Opening 12 Piece Eyeliner Set for only $25! 

Shades include: Nude, Bronze, Brown, Chocolate, Plum, Antique Gold, Hunter Green, Jungle Green, Navy, Charcoal, Black and Golden Plum.  (12 x 0.0423 oz.)

I got the Tarte mascara and powder free as a gift with purchase!

I already have the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette in the full size but decided to get the smaller one to keep in my purse. It is the perfect to go palette! Small enough to even fit in my wallet!

I bought the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Precision Longwear Liner on sale for $10 from $20. This is the second one that I have purchased so I would have a back up! That is how much I fell in love with this liner. Its so easy to use. You can make it thin or thick. It stays and it looks good!
 
So that is a look at my little shopping bag of goodies and I will get back to you all with some swatches so stay tuned! If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I hope you all have a good night!

My first blog post ever!!!

So I've been wanting to start blogging for sometime now and have always kept putting it off due to family, kids, nursing school, working, and in general... life. 

But I figured it's about time to start something new and see how it goes. I can defiantly say that I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm learning as I go. 

I'm most likely going to be posting about makeup, nails, purses, shopping, subscription boxes, make up reviews, candles, bath and body works, Ulta, Sephora, deals, cooking, and everything in life that I love! 

So welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy!
