NARS Mediteranee Eye Duo






   I fell in love with this eye duo at first sight!! I love it so much. Laterly I've had a serious obsession with orange, if you can't tell and it's been hard for me to find a shimmery orange, so when I did I knew I had to snatch it up. I love this duo because the color pay off is so great, and the colors are so blendable. The color on the right looks very light but it turns out to be a nice shimmery, but not too shimmery gold. I used the gold all over my eye lid and the orange in my crease, and then winged it out. If I ever run out of this, I will def be buying more. I will also be buying more eye duos, they go on so nicely that it makes it totally worth the money!!
  Have you guys ever tried any of their eye duos??

Makeup Forever Aqua Liner 9





  I am officially a Makeup Forever freak. I can't wait to buy more things from them to add to my collections. And I can't wait to turn all of you into makeup forever freaks as well! This one is one of their Aqua liner's in 9. It is obviously as you can see a very bright pink. I also love this product because I love, love, love bright eyeliners! And it makes them better when they're waterproof like this one! I have lots of waterproof eyeliners, and this one isn't the most waterproof( it comes on in the shower if you rub it gently) but If you're just going swimming, or don't want it to run or come off in the hot sun then this is perfect! I love it because It works with any skin color I think, because it's so bright, and I love bright colors on lighter skin, as well as darker skin. It also has a perfect brush to apple a straight line with, and it makes it super easy to do a winged look(my favorite.) Have you guys tried any of these liners? Whats your favorite liner?

3. What kind of blogs do you like to read/follow?
  I like reading and following all types of blogs! I follow mostly beauty blogs because that's what I love the most. But I've recently started following fashion blogs, and travel blogs!

May 2012 Birchbox








  SPOILERS FOR GOSSIP GIRL SEASON FINALE!
If you haven't watched it, Don't read any further!!!
   Okay, let me start off with saying, who watched Gossip Girl last night? I definitely did. And I wasn't that surprised except for when Lily left Rufus. What a shallow b word. Anyways, onto the Birchbox. I was very happy with my Birchbox this month. In it I received, Arquiste Flor y Canto perfume sample, Caudalie hand and Nail Cream, Fusion Beauty LipFusion Balm, Ojon Damage Reverse Conditioner, and the little note card. Okay I lied, I wasn't that happy. I was just super excited about the lip balm. Because it really actually works. It's a lip plumper that doesn't even tingle and I put it on at night and my lips looked more swollen than plump, but that's because I probably don't need lip plumper. Other than that it was just kind of eh. not bad not to overly exciting. My second favorite of the box was the perfume, but at $165 for a full bottle, I don't think I will be buying that anytime soon. Did you guys like your birchbox's this month? Sign Up For Birchbox Here!

Makeup Forever #18 and #5



Finally I have time to sit down and write a new post. I feel like I've been away for so long. I recently picked up a second job and I've been going to school so I've been super busy. But enough of that, back to the good stuff. Have any of you ever used makeup forever? I hadn't and I wasn't really a fan of them. But i totally am now. I pick these two up from them, the birghter orange is number 18 and the lighter pinky orange one is number 5. I wanted an orange eyeshadow but needed something to blend it with so it wasn't so orange. A lot of Makeup Forever's eyeshadows can double as blushes too, and I've been using number 5 as a blush and I love it! I'm still playing around with them as eyeshadows and perfecting them, but the few times I have worn them I've gotten compliments. I will definitely show you guys the look when I perfect it! If your,e daring enought to wear this bright of an orange it's perfect for summer!
 Have you gys tried Makeup Forever? Do you like their stuff?

NARS Mexican Rose






   These NARS lip gloss pencils are my absolute new fav! Some of them are really light, and natural looking and some of them are really pigmented! I bought this one from the NARs spring collection and it's called Mexican rose. It's a really strong pink color so I've been pairing it with a simple black lined eye. This color really does remind me of the big flowery dresses that traditional Mexican dancers. I will be buying more of these lip gloss pencils because they're perfect for throwing in your purse when you're on the go and you can apply them without needing a mirror! Have you ever tried these before?

Real Techniques








    
  FINALLY! I feel like I was seriously do behind on these brushes, like I didn't get the memo, or nobody was home in my brain or something. I don't know how I went so long without these.But what matters is that I have them now. Since I had heard so much about them i didn't even hesitate when I went to ULTA, I bought the basics kit for faces, and eyes, and I bought the blush brush. And I have to say I enjoy literally all of them. My favorite brush is the eyeliner brush. Its small, and purple(bonus) and it's so soft and gives me the straightest liner I've ever gotten with an eyeliner brush. All the brushes are extremely soft, and the all work like a dream. I won't ramble on because I know you've heard a lot about these. But if you haven't gotten these yet, or you haven't gotten on the bandwagon, it's never too late!
