Urban Decay Shop & Tell


I am so loving Urban Decay products!  
I remember when I was first starting off in make-up they really didn't have that many things... but now they have everything you could ever need! 
I got the 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencils in Demolition and Electric.  Demolition is a deep brown with a matte finish and Electric is a Bright Aquamarine. 
The colors are gorgeous! lovee it.  I also got Heavy Metal eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy and Distortion.

Midnight Cowboy has large beige gold glitters that makes your eyes look rich and fabulous.  Distortion has some finer glitters and shimmer that look like different colors in certain angles!  I think its the sexist thing ever.  I tried it out today and I think I may like it more than Midnight Cowboy :D And of course the famous UDPP in Eden which is a matte finish.  Definitely the best primer I have ever used. Still waiting for my other Urban Decay products to come in the mail /: More to come XD

Sephora, Nordstrom, Gucci, & Guess Haul


Dr. Dennis Gross Clarifying Colloidal Sulfur Mask. 
This stuff is great.  The packaging is unique as well.  You push down on the white plastic on top and the product dispenses through the hole.  Very sanitary ;D I like how you can wear this mask over night.  I too was a die hard DDF Sulfur Mask lover, but since they discontinued it I had to look for something else.  I found that this works just as good if not better.  And sulfur is really good for your skin even if you have flawless skin.  I like using this as needed it is very relaxing and feels so good, It doesn't make your skin all tight like other masks I have used which makes using it very comfortable.  It is not as drying as DDF which I actually really like.  This is something that I will buy over and over again! HG material

Now on to the make-up:


Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Rose Petal.
This is the lightest blush out of all the other Laura Mercier blushes.  It is a perfect dusty light pink color that looks very natural.  I was drawn to this blush when I read all the good reviews on Make-upalley.com as it is very highly rated (4.8 out of 5)  and they were right.. this is the best blush ever!!  So pretty and it is Matte!  No shimmer or glitter like the Nars blushes.. (so irritating).  This is really something different.  Best blush ever XD\


Clinque Blushing Blush in Cupid
This is another great light colored blush.  As you can tell I am very pale with yellow undertones...
This is slightly darker than Laura Mercier's Rose Petal blush, but it is also very pretty.  It has a little shimmer but it is not very noticeable.  I heard that this is a dupe for Mac Pink Swoon blush.  This would make a nice night time blush for me and my pale skin x3



Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base
If you are looking for a good foundation base for flawless make-up application that is also good for your skin this is perfect for you!  It helps protect against environmental damage and provides moisture at the same time.  This is my new favorite.  My make-up looks so much better, and stays on a lot nicer. (Plus no weird cheap ingredients). This is pretty pricy at $50 but you get what you pay for (x
This stuff has Shea butter, vitamins C & E


Gucci Premiere Perfume
I love this perfume [: Its not too strong and doesn't give me a headache.  On their website they describe this perfume as: "A sophisticated woody musky fragrance, top notes of bergamot and blackberry, heart notes of orange blossom and musk, base notes of patchouli and sandalwood."
This is definitely unique and not a lot of perfumes smell like this.  The sales lady also commented on how amazing this it and I've gotten good compliments so far x] This is the large sized bottle and it retails for $105.  I got mine for about $80 at Macy's.

I also got these hoop earrings from Guess http://shop.guess.com/en/Catalog/View/179909-21
Totally cute and it goes with almost any outfit!  I received many compliments on the first day of owning them.  lol They have some nice accessories right now. 

Awesome gifts from the bf [:


I am so loving the new Tokidoki Hello Kitty items!!  They are so adorable.  The wristlet is perfect,  I use it to put my lip products and most important cards.  The thermos is also amazing.  It is a bit small, but perfect for traveling.  It keeps ice cold drinks ice cold, hot boiling drinks very hot, and the lid is leak proof!!  Truly amazing, great quality the best I have ever used.  However, it is not dishwasher safe, so hand wash this item ^^ 
The Little Twin Stars has almost been a favorite of mine.  This zipper case is a perfect size to put in your bag and take with you everywhere.  I use this to keep my booby pins, hair ties, hand sanitizer, and other necessities all in one organized space.  


Swarovaski Hello Kitty Heart.   
At first glance this doesn't look like anything too special, but when you put it on it is absolutely beautiful!  It is more sparkly and shiner than any other Swarovaki jewelry that I have!  The pink heart that dangles down is my favorite part of the whole necklace.  It is just so cute! <3 


Another favorite.  This Little Twin Star mechanical pencil has the same design as the zipper pouch, very smart, and cute theme! Love it. 


Cute little animals! They're all adorable.  I love how the Chococat has a 4 leaf clover on his foot!  I am Irish and my B-day is st. Patrick day so it matches me! lol 

Edit: When my Ex and I broke up, he demanded all this shit back /: but I kept the chococat, the pencil, the thermos, twin star pouch and tokidoki wristlet anyway LMAO What a loser. 


My HG Foundation. Amazing stuff


Ok, so I believe I have finally found my HG foundation! <3  This is the Chanel Mat Lumiere Long-Lasting Soft Matte foundation with SPF 15.  My shade is in 20 Clair Intensity.  I like that it is pretty neutral, but still has a little bit of yellow tones.  This shade is pretty light on my skin (the next shade was too dark), but I add some color with bronzer so its all good.  The coverage is amazing, covers like a dream without feeling heavy unlike the Mac SFF.  Coverage is also build-able, and blends easily.  The foundation itself is a bit thicker, but you can easily thin it out with moisturizer.  It is very easily to work with.  You can use whatever brush you want and works well applied with fingers too.  I use my Mac 190 brush for my face, and Mac 189 for my neck and jawline.  This foundation is a bit pricy ($50) but it is really awesome and I will not go back to using others.  Oh, and the formula is also non-comedogenic.  I researched the ingredients myself online and I was very impressed. (even happier) lol.  but of course ladies don't sleep in any make-up even if its non-comedogenic.  Let your skin breathe (: love love love loveeee this foundation.  Even my friends commented on how nice this looks x]  Chanel make-up really is the best.  It beats Too Faced and many others for sure.

Here is a list of non-comedogenic and comedogenic ingredients.  If an ingredient is not on the list it is safe :)  Very helpful info when you go shopping for make-up.  http://www.zerozits.com/Articles/acne_detective/article6.htm#inglist
