First makeup haul of 2010!

Hello gorgeous bloggers! I finally got my makeup! It came in 2 days ago, but I was so tired that I didn't really want to do a video, and I tried doing yesterday, but I couldn't really, because my boyfriend was in the background, watching me. It was like creeper status. Haha. Just kidding. Anyway, I've uploaded the video to youtube, and I've also taken pictures of the makeup, and everything!

So I'm pretty sure your all curious about what makeup I bought. Well I bought the Victoria's Secret's Heidi Klum limited edition Holiday makeup! I actually went to two malls to find this makeup collection, but I couldn't find it. So then afterwards I went online and I found it, and the best thing is that I got it for 50% off! Score! Haha. So of course I have to show you lovely bloggers the swatches and everything. This is the first makeup, I've bought in a long time! I know, I haven't really been using makeup, because I've been so lazy since winter break started.



Here is the makeup that I bought (and reviews!):

This is the eyeshadow palette on the outside. The box is just absolutely beautiful! There are two rhinestones on it, and the back is gold!
The colors when they are exposed! Right to left: Champagne gold, light bronze brown, pink, purple, and matte black.
The swatches without flash
The swatches with flash.
The Heidi Klum lipgloss.
A swatch of the lipgloss. This lipgloss smells like hot cocoa! :)
The lipstick. I haven't touched this yet. I'm going to do a review on this later.
The eyeliner.
The eyeliner is black, with a lot of glitter, and it stays on for a long time.
Review: Eyeshadow Palette:
The eyeshadow palette is the best ever! Not only are the colors nice and shimmery, they also stay on for a while. I was rubbing my eyes a little after the video, but the colors never rubbed off. I absolutely love this palette! It's very pretty and feminine.

Review: Lipgloss:
This lipgloss was very pretty. It almost looks like a nude lipgloss on my lips. It smells like hot cocoa! And it's has glitter in it, but it is not like super sticky. I love it.

Review: Eyeliner:
This eyeliner is named majesty, and it's a fantastic eyeliner. It stays on for a long time, and it blends in well with the palette. Which is great, because unless some other eyeliners, you can get clumps when applying them. The only thing about this one, is that I don't think this eyeliner is for everyday wear, simply because it is filled with glitter and I would probably only wear this eyeliner for special occasions.

This is what my eyes looked like when I applied the eyeliner and the palette.
Anyway that was my first haul of the year! I went on victoria's serect's website a couple days ago, and I think they sold out of everything except for the lipgloss and the lipstick. I think the only place you can get this makeup collection is ebay. But even ebay has marked up the prices! I saw the palette for 17.50 + shipping! And I was like holy cow! I got mines for 11.50 + shipping.

I'm going to be doing a video on my favorite makeup from 2009 next, and I will probably be having a giveaway on my other blog, misscomfortology! Until then! :D

glosses, and makeup

So the first thing I did when I got home today was try out this Victoria's Secret liquid bronzing brush. I didn't see that much of a difference honestly. It didn't really turn my skin a very bronzy color, maybe it's because I'm already dark? Haha. Anyway, I didn't really like the way the brush was made, because it doesn't really allow easy application. I had to take a makeup wedge and use it to blend the bronzer in.


So today my lips weren't feeling that bad so I decided to try my lipgloss analysis. These were the lipglosses that were used: VS's Minty Citrusminty, Philosophy's Kiss me, VS's Cherry Bomb, VS's Red Delicious, Bare Essentual's Buxom Dolly, and my Clinique lipgloss.
Citrusminty had a kind of very pretty gloss glow to it, which I really loved, and it also has peppermint oil in it, which is always a plus! Cirtusminty -
The second gloss that I tried out was Kiss me by Philosophy. It didn't really taste all that minty, which isn't a good thing, and the shine wasn't as shiny as citrus minty was. Kiss me -
The third lipgloss that was tired, was VS's Cherry bomb, this one was pretty good, with the shine, but it wasn't peppermint flavored, which kind of sucked, but other than that, this gloss was extremely pretty looking! Cherry Bomb - The next gloss was red delicious, and I'm sorry that my picture is kind of crappy. The gloss isn't orange looking like the way the picture has it, it's actually this soft looking pink. This gloss is very pretty, because it's not too dark, and it has a very glossy shine to it, and I really liked it! Red Delicious-The second to last gloss that was tried, was the bare essentuals gloss in dolly. It makes my skin look a little paler, because the shade is a pale shade. Which is very nice. Dolly -
The last gloss used was my clinique gloss. I honestly don't even know what the name of this gloss color is. It rubbed off when I first got it, and the sticker from the bottom came off, and I honestly cannot remember what it is. Anyway, I really love this gloss, if only it came in peppermint flavored! Clinique -
I want to share my new little secret. This is the VS's Pink everything refreshing spray. I sprayed it on myself today because I was a little tired while at work, and omg, it woke me up. I wasn't yawning anymore. I don't know what they put in here, because I can't find a label, but this stuff is super nice, and it smells wonderful. When I first sprayed it there was a alcohol smell, but it goes away right away. And it's suppose to be made of all organic products. So YAY!
I got my leather jacket in today! YAY! I'm going to take it to the leather cleaners tomorrow to clean it up, there are some very faint dirt marks on it, because they shipped it all the way from canada, and of course they were probably handling it. But it's still cool, because I have my leather jacket! Pictures of my jacket to come soon! :)

VS Haul!

So I redid the layout. I think I was getting tired of the old layout, on the plus side, this layout has three columns, so it's a little easier to navigate! And I kind of stole Fuz's Cbox, because it just looks cute! Anyway onto the stuff that was purchased today!

I went to Sephora and picked up some very cute little stuff. This was basically all the stuff that I saw online, that I really really wanted, except for the smashbox emulsion lip exfloiant. I went to Sephora and I never realized how hard it is to shop there, since all I've ever done, is shop at Sephora.com. And I guess I didn't realize that everything was scattered. But everything turned out, alright because I found 4 of the 5 things that I went there to buy.

(Left to right) Sephora eye primer. Philosophy lip gloss in Kiss me. DDF's Glossy lip therapy with SPF 15. And a Sephora mini heated lash curler.

I assume that most of you know that the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual sale is going on right now. I just had to take a peek and buy some cute little things! (I'm going to post pictures of the lip glosses and what they look on me later, my lips are a little aggravated right now, due to the weather change in Southern California right now. If you haven't heard, it was really cold the last couple of weeks, and all of the sudden it turned really hot yesterday)

(Left to right: Beauty Rush winterberry hand cream, Pink anti-bac hand sanitizer, lipgloss cherry bomb, lipgloss citrusminty, lipgloss minty, lipgloss bubbleminty, lipgloss red delicious, powder brush, liquid bronzing brush, pink everything refreshing spray, beauty rush juiced berry double body mist, victoria's secret brush and mirror combo set, and eyeshadow in bronze medal, eyeshadow in true blue, and eyeshadow in going green! I also got these comfy socks, and they are suppose to be softening for my feet. It comes with a cream, and a pair of socks that say P on the side. Very cute! I'm testing them out right now to see if they work!
Last but not least, I went to Forever21, and picked up this very pretty dress!
These socks were super cute, and basically to die for! I mean how can I say no to socks that have bows on them? And this clutch was adorable as well. And a super good plus? These two things were on sale!!! :)
Yesterday I decided to put on some makeup to see how I would look in Vegas! I think I look alright. Haha.
The reason why I bought so much minty lipgloss is because I can't wear anything else. So that's why I have to wear peppermint lipgloss, but it's okay, because I found some very adorable peppermint lip glosses at Sephora and Victoria's Secret. I think that it might have something to do with my exema, but I'm not sure. Ever since I was in highschool, I have been wearing chapstick, and if I wear lipgloss my lips get annoyed and they start to itch.

Anyway, my mom picked up the Open Seseme party platter today, and it was very yummy! Too bad my entire family pretty much ate everything, so there are no pictures of my birthday dinner. Haha.

I'm hoping to blog while in Vegas, hopefully they have internet at Harrah's! Also I'm thinking if I reach a certain number of followers, I'm going to host a giveaway. Just something to thank everyone for reading my blog, even though I get annoying at times. Hahaha.
