•Farewell April• Haul+Swatches

Hi phrands. Well here's an small end of the month haul! I went out looking for the Comfort Zone & the Petal Pusher palettes but they were all out. I did, however, find some pretty awesome lipsticks!!! Yay! I'm obsessed with bright pink lipsticks all of a sudden! I think they're just so gorgeous. Well, on with the swatches.

WnW Blush in [Pearlescent Pink] • WnW Eyshadow Trio in [I'm Getting SunBurned]
Pearlescent Pink Blush: I love this color. It's like a peachy-pink with a hint of gold shimmer. It's very pretty & looks really nice when the sun hits it.
I'm Getting Sunburned Trio: Gorgeous colors! I loved them all! I had eyed these a couple weeks back but never really felt a big enough urge to pick it up. The color that really spoke to me what the pink-ish browbone but Erika said it was the gold eyelid color that impressed her. & It is very pretty! These trios literally feel like satin & the bottom two colors are very pigmented. The crease color is a rich chocolate brown with small & sparse glitter specs.

Cover Girl Lip Perfection in [Enchantress & Temptress] • 
WnW Silk Finish Lipstick in [Nouveau Pink] (511B)   
I'm very pleased with all of these! The Covergirl products were (Buy 1; Get 1 50% off) So I grabbed the coral pink Temptress. I was hoping they'd have a matte finish but they're more of a luster. The WnW lipsticks right now are 69 cents!! I don't know if it's everywhere or just Walgreens but they were almost all gone. Btw This WnW Nouveau Pink is exactly like Mabelline's Fuchsia Fever. Exactly!

Maybelline Moisture Extreme [Cool Watermelon & Orchid Frost] Lipsticks 

Loveee these lipsticks. They really live up to their name. They are incredibly moisturizing. I had always heard from the late & great QueenB that Big Lots had a lot of great deals on good drugstore makeup brands. But my Big Lots is kind of out of the way, for me. So I never go there but today I was in the neighborhood & saw some bins full of junk! Lol & when I say junk.. I mean hidden treasures. -What a Geek- They had all these Mabelline lipsticks for $1.50 each. Ahhhh! Although a small draw back is that you must hunt for the ones that aren't opened or damaged in some way. Haha Just my luck though. I got the ONE Cool Watermelon lipstick that was in perfect condition after a good ten minutes of searching the bins.. then when I get home I open it all the way to see it & then drop it on the floor..

Ohhh the tragedy!!! Lmao.

Sinful Colors in What's Your Name?
Sinful Colors in Dream On & Nirvana
I'm running out of Sinful Color polishes to get. Haha. At first glance, I thought "What's Your Name" was a black polish but as you can see it has blue & even purple glitter specs. It's a really gorgeous color. The neon fuchsia "Dream On" is a matte bright color! Nirvana's like a greyish milk chocolate.

Thanks for reading!! ;3

My week.

Hey y'all ♥
I'm so horribly behind on keeping up with my favorite blogs. But I've been reading some, just haven't done much commenting. :c Wish there were more hours in the day!! This week's just been too damn long. I shall play catchup this week though.

Ugh so anyway, I'd like to express my horrible & utter disappointment in myself. :c I waited too damn long to get the Quite Cute collection asdfasdalksjd. Last week when I was finally going to pay a visit to the MAC store which is like an hour away, I called ahead. They were sold out of everything. =/ I checked the website & the only thing left was Saint Germain. Wahhh! It made me so sad. I didn't think things would be goneee! My boyfriend is such a fxcking sweetheart though! He actually went online & got me the Candy Yum Yum lipstick I really really wanted for like three times what it initially cost. =/ Arrr he's so wonderful. He didn't have to do it but that's just the kind of person he is. I laf him so much. ♥


Ahem. I've also gone blonde this week. The last time I was blonde was maybe 4 years ago. Excuse the brassiness! It's a work in process, if you will. c: Atm, I'm using a purple shampoo (Regis Silver Shine Shampoo) which is supposed to help with the brassiness. So far, so good.. methinks. Okay.. now it's bedtime. lol It's like 4am here. Arrrr I missed late night blogging!

Buenos nachos, muchachas! >.<

Easter Sunday: Blue had me at hello. ☼

Happy Easter! c:  I spent the better half of the afternoon shivering in bed. =/ Total bummer. I got a fever today out of nowhere. I'm not even sick or feeling sick.. but I felt pretty turrrrrble. I think someone made me "ojo" -_- or the evil eye. Lol jk I'm not superstitious. Anywhoo, I hope y'all had a great Easter with your families & loved ones & without further ado I wanted to share today's makeup with you before, that is.. I rubbed it all over my pillow & crashed out. Yikesss.


FOTD: Blue Sunday.
Wet & Wild Blue Had Me At Hello Palette
I got this palette a couple weeks ago & I'm going to be honest with you, son. I'm not super fond of it. Haa. I really like the turquoise-y color but I'm not a huge fan of texture. I found them kind of hard to blend. This is probably more my fault than it is the palette's though lol. All the colors in the palette are shimmery except for the matte black shadow on the left. I have a hard time with this palette but I still don't regret buying it! c:

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout • NYX gloss in Pinky Natural
This is my favorite lip in the world right now! I love Pink Pout so much I bought a backup of it recently.. juuuuust in case.

NOTD: For Audrey
China Glaze For Audrey
Finallyyyy got this polish! I had lost interest in it for awhile, then when I saw FrugalSpender's post on minty polishes, she featured this polish & I fell inlove with it all over again. Lol. I had tried to get it, maybe last month but they were all out of it at Sally's. I'd make a weekly trip to the store but had no luck til last week! They finally restocked lol & they were already down to 2 bottles. Finally though! I must say, it was so worth it. I heart it.

Thanks for veiwing. ^_^

 A long overdue post! MAC's latest collection came out last week & it's so freaking adorable! I love the lipsticks in the collection & am really excited about getting my hands on some of these!!
Lipsticks: Saint Germain • Play Time • Quite Cute • Candy Yum Yum
Plushglasses: Tea Time • I ♥ U • Girl ♥ Boy • Fashion Fanatic


This is the full collection. I circled the ones I'm getting. I can't wait XD lol I'm so excited about the lipsticks in this, they are soooo pretty! I know Saint Germain is a re-promote but I don't have it or anything that looks like it. Ahhhhhh! akjsdas!

Do you like this collection?
What products have you gotten/are getting?

Pink Lemonade


Claire's Poprockz Makeup Book • L.A. Colors Darling Palette 
Hi guys! I wanted to do a quick & simple look inspired by pink lemonade! I took the light pink from Darling in the on the first half of the lid & blended it into a hot pink color. I used Sweet Stiletto for that. I mixed the creme & the pink color in Darling to blend upwards & used the creme color as the highlight. I then added a hint of yellow to the inside corner of the eye.

WnW Lipstick in Pink Ice • L.A. Colors Lipgloss in Pink Pearl  
I wanted to keep the makeup pretty simple looking & not too bold. I thought a light frosty pink would be perfect! It's not too overwhelming & a great look for a typical spring day. Yay!


NOTD: Summerbound
 Sinful Colors 24/7 • Sinful Colors Pinky Glitter
I liked how these came out! I used 24/7 (bright pink) & then the glittery pink one & put a rhinestone on each of the "half moons" of the nails. & of course two lemon slices from my nail art wheels. Then I did one top coat. (:

Thanks for stopping by! ♥

Cotton Candy Eyes ♥


Claire's Poprockz Makeup Book • Elf Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining
I used Obsessed in the inner corners & along the bottom lash line. I used the creme color in the Elf quad in the middle of my lids. Then Mix Master on the outer part of the eyes & also along the bottom lash line. I then took the blue-ish purple in the Elf quad in the outer V of the eye just enough to darken it up a little bit. Then I took the light pink from the quad & dabbed it lightly on the center of the lids, on top of the creme color. (:

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout • NYX gloss in Pinky Natural 
I love this lip combo, they combine perfectly with each other. I really really like this lipstick & I topped it off with my favorite lipgloss evarrr. (Thanks to Tiffany)



Thanks so much for reading! I leave ya'll with my idea of a perfect evening.. Strawberry Cheesequake Blizzard+Anthony Weiner ! Have a great evening! c:

Arabic Inspired Makeup+NOTD

WnW Blue Had Me At Hello Palette • Jordana Easyliner in Blis
I was inspired by some beautiful, colorful Arabic makeup looks today. I wanted to do a lightweight dramatic look. I really like the thick black liner look along the bottom lashes. I used a liquid liner to make the shape first & then set it with the blackest eyeshadow. I lined my waterline with the Bliss eyeliner & with a black pencil tightlined my eyes. I'm also wearing false lashes, circle lenses in Brown & nail art rhinestones.

Avon's Color Rich Lipstick in Iced Cocoa • Elf Lucious Liquid Lipstick in Ruby Slipper ♥ 
I opted for a rich, deep brownish-red lip. This was a really fun look, it can easily be toned down or amped it even more. Without the rhinestones & a nude lip, I'd definitely wear for a regular day.

NOTD: Illegal Leopard
 L.A. Colors Polish in Pink Pearl & L.A. Colors Black Art Deco
 I did a really simple, really quick leopard print on my nails today! (: 


SOTD: Love ain't always com..pli..ca..ted. ♥

Just because.. ♥

What a sweetheart! My boyfriend surprised me with flowers & a little friend today.. just because. ♥ He's so wonderful. LOL I could sense he was being sneaky this afternoon but I couldn't put my finger on it.

His name is Samson ♥ He & Tequan will get along great. ;P 


NOTD : Arizona Iced Tea Nails
Revlon's Minted • Sinful Colors 24/7 • LA Colors Pink Pearl • LA Colors Art Deco in Black
Che did these awhile back but I didn't have a blue/green color like hers & this weekend I picked up Revlon's Minted & thought it was good enough. Haha. Hers looks amazing! Mine, not so much. But I really wanted to try it. xOxO

What's the sweetest thing anyone's done for you out of the blue? (:

Mint Chocolate Makeup.

Hiya! I posted earlier yesterday's fotd. Now this is today's (: I tried to re-create the look I saw here. It's not exactly like hers though, since we have different eye shapes & I couldn't really get it to look like hers. Here's my take on it! (:

LA Colors Tea Time Palette • Sassy&Chic 10 panel Eyeshadow • Avon Eight in One Palette in Paradise Green
  I like the aqua mint color with the brown as opposed to the typical green mint. & Sorry I don't know the name of the Sassy&Chic palette, 'cause I don't see a name on it & idk if they don't have names or if I took off the sticker. I've had it for a looooong time. But obviously it's the aqua-ish one. I use to have the one with the purples but I lost it somewhere. I've had them since like highschool & honestly they're not very pigmented at all. They're really hard to build up so I use my LA colors Wet to Dry Makeup or the Concealer stick as a base since I've found now that the formula to these is kind of sticky & too dry to use on my face. It seems to work pretty well as a shadow base, though. (:

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Summer Angel • Dots Lipgloss in Nude
The girl did a pretty matte nude but I opted for a nude with a little bit more color & some shine! Hope ya'll enjoyed this look. Perhaps I'll start posting my pics of my whole face so you can get the whole effect. Fun fact: Mint Chocolate is my favorite icecream & candybar! Lol

Thnx so much for reading.
