The Beauty Confessionals

Long time, no type!

2016-03-30T11:35:00.001-04:00

Hi Beauties!!!

So long time no type!! To give you all the little run down I have been extremely sick these past few years with chronic pain, kidney issues, and medical issues that have been too much for me that have depleted my energy. I have been trying to focus on my health and college in order to get anything done at all. I am at a point in my life where I feel good enough and I don't think I will be having any more surgeries any time soon; where I can get back into blogging and reviewing products again. I am doing the #100daysofmakeup on instagram so I will be posting my makeup of the days on here and linking to every product and letting you all know what I am using. Eventually I will be getting back into tutorials. I will also be doing outfit of the days and reviews on my blog as well. So expect a post at least every day.

Thank you for your understanding,

I'm Engaged!!!!

2014-01-24T20:22:00.000-05:00

Holy Moly Y'all! I honestly cannot believe I am sitting down and writing this post, but I am. I am engaged! I am such a lucky lady and am so blessed to have my best friend as my fiancé. Sebastian proposed on January 9th, 2014, and it was very sweet and special between us. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I cannot imagine my life with out him. He in my prince, and I cannot wait to get married to him. However, I do want to enjoy this experience of being engaged and not rush a wedding any time soon. I want to document everything though! You will be seeing a ton of reviews of makeup products, but also I will be posting a lot about wedding ideas and what I will want to do. I want to try to post once a week so PLEASE hold me accountable to this! Lol. I love you all so much and please follow my blog if you want to go on this journey with me!

Yes, he did really well picking out my ring, It is literally EVERYTHING I wanted in one. I do wear a size 5, so everything from the band to the setting is perfect!

Choose Sargento Cheese

2013-10-10T19:48:00.000-04:00

Hello all! Welcome back to my blog. Now I have been gone for a while because I have been so busy with school, work, and going on a five day vacation between the mix! I barely had time to eat, let alone eat healthy, and that is when I went to take the Choose Sargento Cheese challenge! Sargento Cheese is a great source of not only 15% calcium, but also 4g of protein. When I am choosing a snack or a breakfast option I am looking for protein. One piece of Sargento Cheese keeps me lasting through out the day. For breakfast I usually pair it with a banana, toast, or my personal favorite an apple and cold Starbucks drinks you buy at the store. As for a snack I like to eat it alone or with carrots on the side. These options are a great way to stay full longer, and keep the calories low! Containing fewer than 90 calories a cheese stick these little wonders are perfect if you are trying to maintain or loose weight. My favorite cheese snack from Sargento is the light mozzarella string cheese! I find myself choosing this type over and over again at the grocery store. I was provided two vouchers, one of a $1.00 off and a free cheese pack, courtesy of Influenster. I thank them a lot for providing my box. As a cute little cheese accessory I also received a cheese pouch. It really reminds me of a lunch box that is lined, but for a piece of string cheese! So if you are wanting to feel satisfied and lose a little bit of weight I would say choose Sargento Cheese!

Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Lipsticks

2013-08-07T20:19:00.000-04:00

Hello Dolls!!! Today I am writing with you to talk about my new favorite lipsticks from the drug store!!! They are the Maybelline Vivid Lipsticks in Pink Pop and Shockingly Coral! I am of course the absolute LAST person on earth to actually talk about these, but I only had one of the lipsticks so I didn't think I could give a full review on these products. I now own two and I feel as if they are amazing. I do not find them drying, I think they give amazing color pay off, and they do stain the lips so they last all day! Obviously, you will have to reapply after a meal or every few hours if you are doing a lot of talking. Only if you want to keep that great vivid(like the name), shocking color all day long. I do like the staining effect they give on the lips to you will still have a nice color during the day! Very moisturizing and lovely to work with!! On average they are about $7.99 at the drug store, but I usually get them on bogo! I highly suggest checking them out! Very high quality lipsticks!!

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation.

2013-07-04T20:17:00.001-04:00

This is my Holy Grail foundation. It is light coverage and gives me a natural look. It is suppossed to look like your skin but a better, more enhanced version of it. I'll be honest it does not have the best coverage to it. So if you want to cover everythiing then skip this. If you are like me and love the way your natural skin looks but you want to coverup redness and neautralize it then this is the foundation for
you!

I love my freckles and I dont have any major skin issues except for my redness in my skin. I like having a fresh look to my face. It really does have a skin finish to the face. My skin is able to breath and I have not broken out with this foundation. This is the best foundation EVER!

The Packaging
It is very sleek and lux with it being in a glass container with a PUMP!!! Gosh I love the pump oh so very much!!! I cannot tell you how easy it is to do a pump and a half every day and gives my skin a flawless look.

The Results
Now, I do not like medium to full coverage foundations at all. I feel like I cannot breathe at all and my face feels like it is suffocating. This foundation give light coverage with the ability to build up the coverage. So lets say I am having a bad face day and I need a little bit more coverage on my cheeks then I can just add a little bit more and volia it is perf!!!!

Overall
Even though it may not have the coverage of my Tarte BB primer I pick my Bobbi Brown over it everyday just because I love the light coverage feel. It is a great foundation for the price!

Too Faced: Lashgasam

2013-07-04T20:16:00.003-04:00

This is the BEST mascara EVER!!!!!!!!!! Nuff' Said.

Haha, okay on to the review.
First off, with this mascara I did not have to wait weeks for it to become amazing. It instantly was amazing. I love it so much. The formula is more on the wet side, but over the course it did dry up a tad and just keeps getting better by giving my lashes a dramatic false lash effect.

Secondly, the packaging is so cute!!! Black, pink, and gold! EEP!! Super girly and cute!!

Thridly, the brush is the best brush ever. Multiple tiny little bristles, a plastic applicator, and it tapers at the end to get to every little lash. I'm trying to find a drugstore dupe, but I am not sure if that can be found! I guess I have to keep paying the cash for this amazing mascara, but it's okay totally worth it! It lengthens and builds up to a full and voluminous false lash look!

Overall
I love this mascara, and it is a dream to apply and take off. I couldnt ask for anything better!!!

Mac: Pink Swoon

2013-07-04T20:16:00.001-04:00

Yes, yes, yes I know this blush looks insanely scary in the pan! However, it is a sheertone blush by Mac. I love the feeling of this blush, very silky, and yet very finely milled. I love the sheer tone blushes because you can get the great shade of color very light, or as bright as it is in the pan. It does not look bad on my very pale skin tone. I am able to wear this bright shade by just using it like I would a normal blush. The sheer tone blushes are very buildable though. So dont get disapointed if you wanted the exact color in pan, go ahead and layer!!!! The packaging is super sleek and gorgous. I love the glossy black compact is comes it. Very user friendly!

Tarte BB Primer

2013-07-04T20:15:00.003-04:00

Even though this is marketed as a BB cream/Primer I use it as a foundation. It gives my face a satin feel and flawless coverage. Now for me I dont like super heavy/full coverage foundation. But this BB cream is close to a medium coverage in my eyes. It has more coverage than my Bobbi Brown foundation!!!! Which is kind of weird. However, I love both foundations for a different purpose.

The Packaging
Not my favorite thing in the world. It is a squeezey tube and tends to get really dirty. I do not like how I get so much product when I squeeze some out. It really "pops" out. I am not the biggest fan of that.

The Product
It reminds me of a light and airy product. However it is a light-medium coverage. The more you apply the more coverage you get. The finish is a matte/satin finish. It feels just lovely on the skin. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels you just need to try it for yourself!! I find more matte products give more coverage in general. I like to use this product on a hot day when I know I will be sweating and my foundation(or BB Primer in this case) WONT come off! Plus it gives a really nice done up medium coverage look.

Overall
I love this product. I do not use this on a day to day basis because I like a more natural less coverage type of look. However, when I feel like I need more coverage this is the product I go for!! I do not need to set the product and it really does live up to the 12-hr claim! Such a beautiful finish too!

New Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick Forumla Review!

2013-07-04T20:15:00.000-04:00

The new Revlon Superlustrous Lipsticks in shine are amazing!!! I love how moisturizng and glossy the lipstick looks! They are very comfortable on the lips. I will worn you though they are sheer and not very long lasting. I find that the lighter shades are very sheer and a "your lips but better" look. The more bright/dark you go the better quality the color gets. They sort of remind me of the lipbutters but more "lipsticky". I know obviously they are lipsticks and will have that effect, but they have the coverage and wear of the lipbutters. They give a more done up, professional look than the lipbutters. I LOVE THEM!!!! Weird, but they work for the purpose I am looking for. If you want a full coverage, long wearing lip color look else where. If you want a nice wash of color, nonsticky, put together look pick up the new formula!!! My current fav is Pink Cloud!! I love it!!

Wet n Wild Fergie Center Stage Shimmer Palette: Rose Champagne Glow

2013-07-04T20:12:00.005-04:00

My oh my! Best highlighter from the drug store EVER!!! If you are not a pinky highlighter gal, then this is not you. There are other highlighters from the Fergie collection that are more bronzy/champagne and those may suit you more. However they are way to dark for me personally. I love pink highlights! This product is so silky smooth and gives the face a beautiful glow. I love putting it on to give my face a sexy glow. An everyday favorite for me. I dont have any problems with chunky glitters and this lasts all day for me. Does not look greasy and gives off the prettiest sheen ever!

The Packaging is in a HUGE pot form, it is plastic. I am not a fan on how big it is, kind of bulky. I will let that slide since it IS a great product. Obviously you are paying $3.99(or $4.99 depending on location) so you will not get a super sleek and luxe packaging. I love it regardless.

Overall, it is very smooth and gorgeous looking on the skin. I am assuming it looks great on most skin types. I love how easily this is to blend on the skin, and I prefer using my middle and ring finger together to apply this product. It also looks great on the eyelids. It is such a versatile product and I highly suggest you try out this product or any of the other three shades of highlights/bronzers in this line if you have a dark skin tone!!!

Review: Lorac Pro Palette

2013-07-04T20:12:00.004-04:00

Hello My Dolls!!!! I've missed you so much! And to relaunch my blog and doing what I love again I am going to be talking about the Lorac Pro Palette! Oh my gosh I am OBSESSED with it!!! IT is the most amazing thing in the whole entire world. Of course I am a huge fan of my Urban Decay palettes and nothing can EVER replace them, but this is alternative if you don't want to spend the $50 for the original Naked Palette.

Packaging is very thin, sleek, and portable. The mirror is a real one, and not one of the funny fun house mirrors most products seem to have. My only concern is that it does have a rubberized texture, very similar to NARS, and will pick up makeup from foundation and other powders very easily. I only have had it for about a week and have not had too much problems with it yet, but if that is the case I can obviously wipe it down with a makeup wipe and be good to go.

Hands down I LOVE the shadows. I am a very picky person with my shadows. These shadows are very buttery and apply like a dream. They are not chalky, and don't have much fall out. The darker shimmery shadows are the only ones you may want to be careful with when applying. Just like any dark shimmery shadow you will experience a little bit of fall out. These shadows are very rich and pigmented though, and exceeded my expectation. Also they blend together flawlessly. For the $42 it is a great deal!!! Plus you get a primer that I have not tried yet, but will review in the future.

Will I purchase more from this brand in the future? Yes you can count on it!

E.L.F Daily Brush Cleaner.

2013-07-04T20:10:00.003-04:00

If you are anything like me, you abhor cleaning your brushes!!! I find it so time consuming and quite frankly just plain boring. I dont have time for it! I really just dont like doing it. And who does?

Well ladies and gents I have found a solution for you!! The Eyes Lips Face( aka E.L.F), daily brush cleaner. This will not subsitute deep cleaning your brushes forever. However instead of cleaning them once a week you can totally clean them once or twice a month with this product! It is $3 at Target(or eyeslipsface.com) because it is a studio item. It is an anti-bacterial cleanser so it does help sanitize your brushes in between washes. I think this is prefect for EYE brush use. If I am using the same colors on my eyes I really dont find the need to deep clean them each week. However, with face brushes I suggest cleaning them once a week. This product allows you not to clean your face brushes MULTIPLE times a week.

It has a kind of clean scent. Like "just washed" kind of smell. Plus this makes your brush bristles SUPER soft!!! I love this product and hope you do too!!!

Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blush: Flushed

2013-07-04T20:10:00.000-04:00

I have heard so much hate on this one product! A lot of people do not love the revlon cream blushes, and I can see why with their regular line of cream blush. However the photo ready blushes are different. Unlike the regular line, the photo ready blushes have more pigmentation and lasting power. I am not saying they last all day and night, but they a good six hours. I will do a separate post on the regular Revlon cream blushes, but their lasting power is not so great. So in comparison the photo ready line is signifacntly better!

I chose the blush in flushed. It looks like a scary hot pink blush in the packaging, however it goes on quite nice. Some people may say sheer, but I say natural. It looks like a nice healthy pink flush to the face. I love the texture, it feels very smooth and kind of silky. The reason why I say kind of silky because it is so smooth and nice feeling that I am not quite sure if silky is the right word. It feels sooooo good though. At first you will feel like it feels greasy, but once it dries it is the best feeling ever!!! Quite like the Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Primer. So smooth nice and natural. Does not feel greasy after it dries. I love it!!

The Packaging is very sleek and classy. I love the glass jar it comes in, and I love how it just looks so simple and beautiful. It looks great on top of my vanity. Just very chic.

I also love how I can wear this color on my lips! Such a pretty pink color!!!

Overall, this product is very nice. I love applying it with an angled synthetic brush to get the perfect flawless application.

Wet n Wild: Petal Pusher

2013-07-04T20:06:00.002-04:00

Oh my Word!! Honey! I bought this palette, gosh, a year and a half ago? Never opened it until about three weeks ago! What was I thinking!?! This has to be one of my FAVORITE palettes EVER!!

I have always known Wet N Wild shadows were amazing, but my word I love all these shadows!! They are all so creamy, buttery, and soft. They are all a dream to blend, and have very little fall out. Like most shadows, dark glittery shades tend to have more fallout than others. Easy fix! Just use either your finger or a small shader brush. I use the Sedona Lace concealer brush 954 to apply them. It is a fairly small brush and fits my eye perfectly. If you have a bigger eye then go with a bigger brush, but this brush is amazing for getting the least amount of fall out.

Right Side of palette

Left Side of palette

I love these shadows!! My favorite is the Right side of the palette and the first shade labeled brow bone. It is a gorgous all over lid color! I hope you all try this out!! And for $3.99(some places $4.99), you cannot beat it!! Plus the quality is amazing!!!!

Review: Ponds Daily Moisterizer

2013-01-22T21:53:00.001-05:00

Hello Dolls! Long time, no type! I had my 18th Birthday on January 12th, I was feeling under the weather ALL last week, and I JUST got a job!!! Busy passed few weeks! Oh my goodness! I missed talking to you all though, it is seriously super fun! My goal is to do two posts a week on REVIEWS every Tuesday and Thursday. I feel like reviews are meant for the blog and tutorials and routines are meant for the YouTube Obviously, if I get requested for a hair care routine on this blog I will do one here or a review on my YouTube I will do them there. However, for the most part I want to keep it separated for now. It is just easier and simpler. Let's get into the review.

Today I am reviewing the PONDS daily moisturizer. I have been using this moisturizer for a few months now and I can honestly say I am in like with it. I do not love it, but I do not hate it. If I lived in a warmer climate it is a perfect moisturizer because it is not too heavy. It is not particularly light either. It gives a nice amount of moisture to the skin, but could feel heavy if applied to much. Now, I live more up north after moving and my skin has been going cray cray with the cold weather! Some day's it is 50 and some, like today, is 28 out!!! So my skin is going kind of out of wack with the climate changes. I feel like in order to make sure my skin is not dry I have to put on a layer of this moisturizer and then dot it on with my foundation to give a glowy, non-flakey moisturized look. I feel like it is a little too much work for me, but I do like the effect it does give. The fragrance is nice too; not too strong. It is around a decent price of $6. I feel like I cannot complain too much about it, but I hate the weather and what it is doing to my skin. If you do not have extreamly dry skin this product may be nice for you. For now it is an "ify" product for me. It may just be a spring and summer moisturizer vs a fall and winter one for me.

Favorite Eye Look at the Moment!

2013-01-04T21:22:00.001-05:00

Hello Dolls!!! So I have been obsessing over this eye look lately! It is soooooo easy, and so pretty. I am thinking I may do a corresponding video on how to achieve this look. All you will need is a shimmer all over lid color, I chose Iced Latte by L'oreal, and two matte crease colors. One would be a lighter blending color and the other will be a darker defining color. I chose Naked and Buck from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. Naked is a deep color for me since I am so pale, but I find with this look it is perfect. I don't usually use buck that often, but I love it as a defining color!!!! You can even bring it down on the lower lash line if you wanted. Then I put a little liquid liner, or gel your preference, with a few coats of mascara! You could even use the new Color Metal Tattoo in Barely Branded by Maybelline, if you own that. Both super pretty, just remember to put a primer under your eyes, so you do not crease!! This look takes about five minutes to do. The only part that takes super long is the liner. I am getting used to this new liquid liner I am trying out; so that is my only problem. If you use pencil or gel it'll take a shorter amount of time because I can just sweep gel liner on. Super easy, super pretty, and I have been loving it! I'll most likely do a video on it if you want! Leave a comment below if you'd like to see one!

Mini Haul!!!

2013-01-02T20:47:00.002-05:00

Hello Dolls!!! I did a little shopping today and this is what I came out of the store with! I thought I'd share it with you! So, I went in for a baby Vaseline because my lips have been super chapped. I also got the two color metal tattoos from Maybelline in Inked in Pink and Barely Branded. They're really pretty, and I only got two because those were the only two shades I really wanted. The others looked really pretty, but I saw intense swatches and I could NEVER pull them off with my skin tone. I also bought the Jordanna FabUliner in Black, because I've heard so many great things about this liner I HAD to try it for myself. I also bought the new WetNWild Fergie Collection Highlighter. It is soooo pretty! I cannot wait to start using it! It is supposed to be a dupe for the MAC msf's, but I never tried them so I would not know. However, I do think it could be a dupe for the candilight glow highlighter by Too Faced! Finally, I bought a dark chocolate covered marshmallow I thought I grabbed cookies and creme but I did. I decied to give it to my brother. He said it was super yummy! Ha! Well, that's all I bought over the passed few days, and wanted to share! I thought they were super pretty things and sooo happy I got my hands on a few of these hard to find items!!!

Hello 2013 Goodbye 2012!

2012-12-31T20:19:00.000-05:00

Hello Dolls! Today I am going to be talking about trends I think we should say goodbye to, and trends we should possibly keep. I am going to start with a negative, then go into the positive so we can start this year off with a bang! If you haven't seen my new video on what I will be looking like on my face for new years click here!!!!!

Disclaimer! I am not trying to offend ANYONE. If you are wearing it and loving it, please keep rocking it. My dislikes are when it is a little too out of control.

Goodbye Ugly, Scary Trends!!!

1. Dragon Length Nails. I like long nails, but when your nails are too long and they are looking tacky that is when you need to clip them or take the fake off.

2. Ombre Everything. I think Ombre Hair should stay, but I hate ombre clothes. I just feel like this trend is not the most flattering on some body types(mine included). It is nice for the summer but for an everyday kinda thing I think it should stop.

3. The Purple Lips. Most people cannot pull this look off. The people who can wear this look, kudos to you, please keep rocking it. However, most people cannot put it off. It just looks weird and a little cray cray. It is awesome if you are experimenting and what not, but I think this trend should not make itself a 2013 trend. Now the wine and berry lips can stay, but the whole purple tone is when it gets a little cray cray. You just have to have the right skin tone to pull this look off.

4. Print on Print trend. Again, this is the whole some people can and some people cannot. It's a little too much going on in one space. I just think a solid and print look better than a print on a print. It just is a little too much for me personally.

5. Overly Fake Bakin' It. Now, I rather have people fake bake it than expose themselves to UV rays. However, I am seeing too much of it on TV and around school. It goes to a point where it is too dark and a little bit on the orange side. I feel like most girls know when to stop going darker, but some just don't. I really want the overly fake bake girls to stop. It just does not look natural any more.

Hello!!!

6. Pastels! I loved the Pastels this year I hope they stay in again for spring and summer. Just nice soft, pretty little colors.

7. Studs! I have become a huge stud lover, and I think it can take a super girly girl(like my self) and add some edge to an outfit. I love being so girly, but having a little bit of an edge to my look makes me a little less boring.

8. Combat Boots! Again, with the adding an edge factor. I love the instant cool factor you feel when you put on some bad ass combat boots on.

9. Arm Candy! I think once it starts to get a little bit warmer, arm candy will be huge again. I cannot wait to start stacking bracelets and looking all cute this summer.

10. Confidence. I think that is the best thing 2013 can offer us. I feel like confidence is timeless and should always be around. Be whoever you want to be.

If I totally bashed on some of your fav trends, then tell me in the comments below! Tell me how you work it out! I obviously did not put classic trends like a red lip, winged liner, a smokey eye. Because those will never go out of season. I just picked a few of my fav trends from this passed year I'd love to see again this upcoming year! What are you excited about this new year?!

Review: L'oreal True Match Foundation and Powder

2012-12-28T21:58:00.000-05:00

Hello Dolls!!! Today I will be talking about the L'oreal True Match Foundation and Powder. I've been testing this product out for about ten months and I am on the fence about it. It feels so nice on the skin and gives great flawless coverage, but the coloring and wear is not my cup of tea. I really want to like them, but again with all drugstore foundations it is too dark for me and makes my skin look too pink. I feel like if you can wear most drugstore foundations and have little problem finding your right shade you will love this product. If you like medium coverage, silky smooth texture, and love really easy makeup to blend then this product is for you! If you have really dry skin just put some moisturizer on and it'll work. If you have a really hard time finding your shade in the drug store because you are so pale just don't even bother. C1 is the lightest, W1 and N1 are too dark for me so I returned them both and ended up with C1.

I really enjoy the texture, and smell, and look the powder gives off. It is very silky and gives my face a flawless look. It does not leave my skin feeling cakey. It is the lightest shade, but I feel like it is way to pink and dark for me. I put the powder on to matify my T-zone, but I feel like my face looks even more pink that with no make up on. It is a nice product to wear by itself and it gives nice light coverage. With the foundation though it is over kill and makes my face look to pink and dark.

I love the texture and application of this foundation. It is very easy to apply and gives a very natural finish. It is a very nice medium coverage foundation. This again is the lightest shade in the whole true match line, but I feel like it is a little dark on my face. It oxides kind of pink but more of a orange tone. I blend it on my neck, and it looks nice the first couple hours but as the day goes by my face ends up two shades darker most of the time. I end up mixing this foundation with a moisturizer, and it obviously has less coverage, but it does not make my face darker after a few hours.

Again, I really loved the product but hated how it is too pink and two shades dark. It really is a lovely product, and if you can find your shade go for it! However, us really pale gals will just have to pass on this great foundation. I can totally see why people love it, but sadly it is not the right shade for me.

2012-12-26T18:16:00.000-05:00

Hello Dolls!! This is my top 12 of 2012. Some may be seasonal or year round. However, I love each and every product and they are some of my holy grail items! I hope you enjoy!

2 Face Products

Clarasonic Mia 2, used it every single day to wash my face of 2012

Neutrogena facial remover wipes. I use them to remove my face makeup before I work out and take off an mascara residue from washing my face.

2 Cheek Products

My Nars Super Orgasm Blush

Just matte Bronzer in general. I love Hoola by Benefit and Chocolate Soleil my Too Faced but I guess I'll choose Hoola because it was more travel friendly since it was a full size product vs in a palette. I cannot go a day without contouring!
2 Eye Products

Badgal Lash from Benefit, one of my favorite mascaras. I've reperchased the mini size many times since it is only $10.

Urban Decay Naked and Naked 2 Palettes. I am cheating even though they are two products but it still classifies as one product in my mind since they are both Naked products. Haha

2 Lip Products

I am not a huge lip person but I have always like the Revlon Lip Butters since they have come out.

I also used Carmex when my boyfriend would come down since he always had it. I've been using it all fall and winter and it has been amazing. I have no clue why I waited to buy it myself for the longest time.

2 Nail Polishes

Revlon's Temptress. I wore this a TON this spring and summer. Essie's Skirting the Issue is limited edition but I did find a very similar color here. Main thing I've been wearing on my nails all fall and winter.

2 Hair Products

Tresemee Smooth and Silky Shampoo and Conditioner Makes my hair so smooth and I do not need much of anything in my hair to keep it nice. I try new shampoo and conditioner all the time but I ALWAYS go back to this combo.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. My mom, sister, and I loved it. Lasted for three years and sadly we said goodbye this year. Best stuff ever. It is kind of pricey, but I will be repurchasing it soon.

Review: MAC Lipstick in Brave Red

2012-12-24T17:04:00.001-05:00

Hello Dolls! I am writing this review on this amazing MAC lipstick in Brave Red. The pictures don't give it much justice, but they gift the gist of it. I don't have the best lips right now, they are very chapped so I tried to put the lipstick on lightly so it wont show all that ickyness. Plus I like to apply this lipstick lightly anyways, it is a super pigmented lipstick. It is super creamy, smells like cupcakes, however if you do not use a lip liner the lipstick will fade after a few hours. Obviously wear time depends whether or not you are eating and drinking. I think it is a great investment for $15. This lipstick can be worn multiple ways if you use the right lip liner I like the ones from Prestige a lot, they can range from 99 cents to $7 bucks. I have the 99 cent pencil one in Amore and the $4.99 automatic one in Rosewood. It can go from a very bright lip to a very dark lip all depending on the liner. So again, I hope you all found this review helpful! If you have any questions, comments, or requests please leave it in the comment section down below. Please don't forget to follow my blog, and I will follow back!

Hello Dolls!!! Sorry about the delay of this blog post, but my migraine has FINALLY went away!! Yay! So I am going to be talking about my favorite products this month. I really enjoy these kind of posts, because they are just so much fun to read! I love knowing what people have been loving and new products I should try out! So let's get started! I have been going pretty light in my eye make up recently so I have been using an amazing mascara that just makes my lashes very volumenous, adding a pink cheek that is not too over powering but mixes well with my light skin tone, and a red lip that just pulls the look all together. Now, I haven't been wearing a red lip every day this month, but around 3 days out of a week so about 12-15 times this month. Which is cray cray since I DO NOT wear the same lippies multiple times a month. I think it is a new record! Now if I didn't want the full read lip, but a nice little flush I opted for a stain.

Mac's Brave Red Lipstick

Revlon's Lip Butter in Red Velvet

Benefit's Benetint

Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in the color Glisten

Benefit's BadGal Lash Mascara

Victoria Secret PINK body splash in Warm and Cozy

Christmas Trees!!!

I hope you all enjoyed this post! Again if you have any questions, requests, or concerns please leave them down below!!
