Beauty Quote Of The Day...

"Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beaty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do your hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction."

L'oreal Lineur Intense Carbon black!!!

Heard the great raves about this liquid eyeliner so I had to jump in and try it for myself...what can I say...I really expected a lot more. This is my first liquid liner, I tend to go for either pencil liner or cream/gel liners, with that said lets get to the review.

First off, the pigmentation is not the best, I picked up the carbon black because I really wanted this to be jet black..but it's not! It's watery and comes on medium black and I had to do a few layers to get my desired color.

Second..after I applied it, I let it dry to curl my lashes...so sad to say but it came off on my new love which is the Shiseido eye lash curler ( wow!!!) I really wanted to like this eyeliner but it didn't work for me ;(
On to my search for another liquid eyeliner.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

In the search for my HG foundation, I came across Nars Sheer Glow from a youtube review and decided to go out and get it to see for myself if this foundation is as great as people are saying it is. Let me start off by saying the shade I was matched with was Punjab (for reference, Im NC35) the color is ok I think I might go one shade darker with a little more yellow in it but regardless let me tell you that this by far is the best foundation Ive ever tried.
This foundation is medium coverage but definitely buildable, I think that the best way to apply it is with ur finger tips and it gives u a flawless finish. U don't have to set it with powder if u don't want to..depending on the day sometimes I will set it with powder since I have combination/oily skin.

Make sure u moisturize your skin before applying this foundation please!

Stila palette (Blue and Gold)

The look of the day!!

I used the Stila precious pearl eye shadow palette!

I used the purple and gold color and to highlight I used

Mac pigment in vanilla!!!

I love this palette, the quality of these shadows is the best!

Very pigmented and sooo smooth

Fast results acne products!

Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion

I came across a review of this product on youtube and this girl kept on going on and on about this being the best product for cystic acne, which I suffered from a few weeks ago and it was really bad to the point that I was embarrassed for people to see how bad it was! I would try to cover it up with makeup but that only made it more noticeable because the huge planets (i call them planets because they were huge) were there with makeup on...not a pretty thing! I went to ulta and purchased this buffering lotion and skeptical as always with any new product I washed my face and put this product on my lovely planets, went to sleep and when I woke up they were reduced in size dramatically...Im not going to say they were completely gone but a big improvement..I did it the next day and it just kept on getting better and better! I would say by the 3rd day it was completely gone! This by far has been the best product for me on these ugly little creatures! buffering lotion

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion!

Now this drying lotion is another one of my mario badescu favorite products! I have acne prone oily skin so I do get frequent breakouts, while I use the buffering lotion on the cystic acne, the drying lotion is what I use on the regular breakouts that I get and its the best thing to dry them out! This is a product that it's not meant to be shaken to mix the product in the contrary you're suppose to dip a Q-tip all the way to the bottom of the jar and as you're pulling it out the 2 products in the jar will be on you q-tip so now you just dab on the drying lotion on any pimple u may have and if it's a small one by morning it should be all gone, if not it'll take a couple more days but this stuff really works! I love love these two products! You can get these products at ulta. nordstrom or on their website drying lotion

Smokey Eye Look!!

Hope you ladies had a great weekend!

What's your favorite smokey eye look???

Smokey eye!

Nude Rose Lipstick

What's the rave about this shade from mac that was released on their

dsquared collection???

Well let me tell you...I made a quick stop at a mac store today just to pick up this lipstick, well this quick stop turned into buying some eye shadows for my pallete and the super black Feline eyeliner but anyway I got the lipstick got home and tried it on..I LOVE THIS COLOR! Its the perfect nude pink for any skin tone I think! It's a sheer color but it does have a good payoff in color. It has a creamy consistency and the only think I would complain about is the staying power but what can you expect from a lustre lipstick right? so I figured I would put on a lip primer like laura geller's and a little concealer on top of that and it lasts longer...YAY!!!

This is such a great soft nude color that it actually looks great with every eye shadow look possible, especially my favorite look which is the smokey look!
