Maybelline Eyestudio application

Hey everyone! Just want to let everyone know that my new line from Miss Comfortology, "Let them eat Cake" just launched right now! So please check it out: MissComfortology. Basically every item there is under $5 dollars! Which is good because I'm actually going to launch this line on Etsy come Monday. SHHHH! Just don't tell anyone at Etsy! :)

Still raining over here in Southern California, and I'm actually doing a lot better! I want to thank everyone who wished me well! Thank you! :)

Trina asked me to do swatches of the Maybelline palette so I decided to show you guys what it looks like when swatched!

Sapphire Siren:
Pink Persuasion:
Give me gold:
& Copper Chic:
I haven't opened the last two palettes yet. I still have Sunset Seduction and the purple one (Oh geez, I can't even remember the name of it) as well.

And I found a look for these palettes! It looks like this:
Up close picture of what it looks like when applied to eyes:
Two eyes:
I have to say, I'm really loving these palettes. They are so easy to apply. The only thing that sucks is the applicators that come with the palette. The sponge tip pulls off after a while. Which is annoying, but I just put a little bit of super glue on the wand, and it's fixed.

And since it's been raining like freaking crazy over here, I don't have good lighting to take pictures with. Which is a total bummer, hopefully next week the rain will let up, and I will be able to take better pictures of makeup. I actually did a look with give me gold, and pink persuasion, but it didn't come out so great because of the dark lighting.

I'm still counting down for my package to come in soon! My cousin said she put a ton of makeup items for me to try out, so I'm super excited. And I'm getting something special from my Auntie! :D

Update finally!

Hi everyone! It's been a while, since I've done a really post! Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know, I am ALIVE! Haha. It's because of school that I've been extremely busy! I basically have two test every week, and it's stressful and sometimes I just want to burst into tears and cry, but then I think to myself everything is okay. I will be okay, just don't cry! Because let's be honest, it would be pretty embarrassing if I started crying in class, and my teacher would probably start freaking out, thinking that something horrible happened to me, while it was just the stress of school!

Anyway just wanted to share a couple items that I've purchased! I bought this Rose Salve, because I've read a couple reviews about them, and I wanted to try it out! It's actually pretty good on dry skin! I don't use it on my lips though, because my lips can't take anything that isn't mint, but it's nice to put this on my dry neck!
The texture is like a thick, almost waxy like substance. My new shiny phone! It's by AT&T, and it's called the Samsung Impression! My brother has the exact same phone and so does my boyfriend! This phone is great! I was actually going to get the iphone, but I really hate texting on that thing! And all those apps'! I feel like if I bought that phone, I would be in serious debt because of all those darn apps'!

And when I went to the mall a couple weeks ago, I picked up this eyeshadow from a kiosk! It's called MicaBella cosmetics! And this eyeshadow is pretty cool. The sales lady said that it can be a eyeshadow, eyeliner, and nail polish! It's awesome! :)
W/o flash.
w/ flash!
And this is the scale that I bought! I'm going to start making something! I'm not going to say what it is, but I will be posting about it soon! :)Check out my other blog! MissComfortology! I've posted a couple more pouches for sale! They are all super adorable! :)
I hope everyone has an awesome halloween! :)

EOTD and blush

Hi everyone! I know I haven't really made any makeup related posts in the last couple of days. And the reason for that, is because I'm so lazy when I leave the house now! I don't wear any makeup anymore, because all I do is go to school, and work. And everyone at school already knows what I look like! But I do on occasion put on makeup, if it's for something special, or I'm going somewhere.

But I did a look today, and it has to do with Twilight! Yes, my favorite movie! :) I'm going to go watch the movie when it comes out in November! Are you? :) And this is the makeup I'm going to be wearing when I go!

This is the look that I did with my 120 count palette! It actually goes from light to dark inward towards outward!
My eye. My camera is not on flash, it's just because it's bright.
And this is my RMK blush, that I haven't shown you guys yet! The color is JE-03 Cherry. And here are the swatches of the blushes! I know, I take forever huh? Well the one on the left is the MT-03 Strawberry Pink and the one on the right is JE-03 Cherry. I don't know why my picture is blurry... I'm thinking of selling the MT-03 Strawberry Pink one, because I don't really use it, and I've only used it just to swatch it this one time... Would you guys be interested in buying some makeup items that have only been used once from me?

Anyway, since I cannot stand using my old phone (I don't like it at all! It doesn't all the full effects of a PDA phone) I decided last night to buy a sciphone i68+. It's pretty much an iphone, but with more awesome features. You can put dual sim cards into it, and it also has an FM radio on it. I don't think the iphone has FM radio, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I'm going to wait for it to ship to me, within the next week or so! So excited.

I've been spending more money on technology than makeup recently! Haha.

Reviews, and nails!

Hi everyone! I did my nails today! Because I was suppose to be studying, but I decided to take a little break!

The two colors that I used were: Pa nail polish in 8N, and Paul & Joe in 30! And the gems, were purchased via ebay! And top coat is Sally Hansen in 01 invisible.
And before I forget here are the swatches of the two RMK blushes that I purchased a little while ago. I'm absolutely loving the coral pink color, the one on the right! And the Kevin beautymaker lip concealer! This is what it looks like when applied to lips.
And this is the after effect with lipstick. Lipstick used is Paul & Joe lipstick in 060! My new favorite shade!A swatch of the lip concealer. I know it looks really light, because I took this picture at night, and the lighting in my room isn't great, and I took it with flash.
Ok, since I've already posted pictures of the lip concealer I might as well do a review!

What: Kevin Beautymaker lip concealer
When: I ordered it a month ago, just got it around 1 week ago.
Where: at mihokofamily.com
How: This is a really good lip concealer, I like how it doesn't have any flavor of any sort, and it glides on smoothly, even though sometimes I have to use my fingers to rub it in the corners a little better. After applying the lipstick, it makes my lips look lighter, and not as dark around the edges.
Cons: None! :)

By the way, my skin is looking better! Probably due to the white cream I've been using, and I've using the kit I got a couple of weeks ago, and I basically use the cleanser, and the wipes! So Yay! :)

Yay for updates! :)

I know my posts of lately have been a little boring, but I'm going to change all that! Haha. So I'm not going to spend any more money until my next paycheck which is going to be in August! UGH! I know it sucks, but I pretty much don't have any more money!

Anyway, I'm been busy hanging out with my boyfriend all the time now. And working. But the good thing is that I have today off from work. Which is kind of weird, because it's in the middle of the week, and I usually get weekends off. Oh well. Haha.

So I got my shirt from Kym, yesterday! Thank you Kym! It says fluent in Engrish on it! And it's super adorable! I love it a lot!
She also included some very yummy candies! I ate one of the orange ones already! So yummy! :)
By the way when I went to the mall on Friday, I picked up a new primer pen, because I lost my other primer pen. :(
And these are the swatches of the Mac shadows I purchased, because someone requested that I do swatches!

Phloof, woodwinked, and sumptuous olive!
And for my birthday, I received a gift card from Janet and Ruben to Old Navy, and I bought my boyfriend a black dress shirt (because he doesn't have any) And I also got this mint lemonade lip balm! It tastes delicious! :)
And I've been looking for a new job recently, because my job wants me to work Friday nights graveyard till October, and that's a big NO-NO for me, because school is starting in three weeks, and I already explained to my manager that I need to study, but he is being stubborn, and trying to force me to work Friday nights. So I'm on the look out for a new job. I hate job hunting, because number 1, it's hard nowadays, number 2, I don't know if I'm going to like the job I get, and number 3, because it's a pain! But it's alright, I'm looking for jobs that don't require me to have to work late into the night.

And my job right now, drastically cut my hours this week, so I don't work today, tomorrow, and Thursday. I think they are planning on getting rid of me soon, which is also a reason why I've been trying to find a new job.

DDF mini haul, major Pop Beauty haul, and drugstore haul

Hi everyone! So today, I'm going to post about my pop beauty haul and my DDF haul, and my drugstore haul! So many hauls in one day I know! But I'm feeling a little better after talking to my manager, so yay! Be warned, picture heavy!

Ok, so the first thing I'm going to talk about is my DDF haul! I ordered this 3 weeks ago from gilt.com, and it finally came in! If you want to check out gilt, you can go to the right sidebar, and I have links to where I shop online, and you can click that for an invitation. (So basically from oldest to newest haul)
The first thing I purchased from Gilt was an accident, I was trying to purchase the moisturizing photo age protection with the glossy lip treatment. I didn't mean to purchase the toning complex! But I guess it's good that I purchased it because it decreases the look of pore size, which is something I've been trying to do for a while.

labels from the back of the toning complex:
And the photo-age protection! I haven't used any of these products yet, because I just got them in, and I will probably do a review on them later on, maybe in a month or so.
Ok so onto the pop beauty haul! So basically I bought these off ebay, and I bought them from shannonalbert30, and her shipping is pretty fast! It took 4 days, but the bad thing is that you have to bid on her stuff, because it's not buy it now. She also has mac stuff in her store, and too faced, and some stila items, so check her out!

These were the two small palettes I got in the mail. Lid gold, and Lid silver! I haven't used either of them yet, because I've been trying to keep my makeup simple, with my Coffret D'or palette, but I will probably use them later. The two palettes, when they are open. I think the lid silver is very pretty, because the colors are dark, and lean more towards purple shades. By the way, pop beauty is awesome, because they always come with directions, so if you don't really know how to apply makeup, these palettes are awesome. Lid gold. Lid gold, when opened, and up close.
Lid gold swatches.Lid silver. Lid silver when opened, and up close. Lid silver swatches. I also purchased these two palettes, smokey eyes, and brown eyes.
The smokey eye palette, and colors! I've actually used this palette. I used it this past weekend, and it looks very pretty. I love dark colors, so the black on the far left is pretty good. smokey eye swatchs
And they both come with a cute little mirror for application. The only thing I don't like about these palettes is that they come with this two sided brush, and it has this elastic band that can hold a brush, but it's very annoying trying to put the brush back into the elastic band, because I don't want to damage the brush.
The brown eyes palette.
Brown eye swatches.The final item that was purchased was this hello gorgeous eyeshadow, blush, and lipgloss palette!
The top layer included the blush, and lipglosses! :)The second layer on the bottom included the eyeshadows. I'm not going to do swatches of these, because there are like 36 colors, and I'm too lazy to do all of them. Plus my arm can only hold 12 colors at a time, so I would have to swatch, remove, and repeat 3 times! Sorry about the glare! The last haul I did this week, was at CVS. Now I'm a CVS member, I have their card, and the only reason I purchased these was because I got a coupon last time I was there, that said $5 off any purchase of $15 or more. So of course I had to buy some makeup! Because thats pretty much the only thing I ever purchase when going to CVS. Well that and alcohol. Haha.

Left to right: Revlon matte eyeshadow in venetian blue, eyeshadow quad in 09 sterling rose, eyeshadow quad in 18 azure mist, revlon matte in peach sorbet (By the way, I got the revlon stuff because it was BOGO!), and the big orange thing is the airspun loose powder in honey beige.
The revlon eyeshadows.The sterling rose swatches. I love this palette. :)And the Azure Mist swatches.
So I bought this loose face powder, but now I'm kind of regretting it. It has a certain smell, like baby powder, and when applied, it makes my skin look extremely pale. I don't really like this powder at all. Oh well.
What it looks like, when open.
And last but not least, since I forgot to post a picture of the nails that Lindah got me, and sent me! Thank you Lindah! You are super awesome! I will be sending a little something something soon! :)
And that is basically it for my major hauls this week! I will be doing my paul and joe haul probably next week, as soon as my items come in, and the Coffret D'or palette review very soon!
