Collective HAUL

Collective Haul.. Sigma Face and Eyes Kit (Amazing brushes!) the duo fibers are my favorite. I love how it applies my foundations, blushes and bronzers. Always looks so soft and airbrushed.

MAC Brush Cleaner

Stila 'It Girl' Palette

Hello Kitty lip Tickled Pink Lip Shine. $5 at Urban Outfitters $2 at Hot Topic. The only think about this that I don't like is that the top is very loose and constantly falls off if I put it in my purse. I wish I could carry this around with me. It looks like you just applied a sheer gloss (not sticky), it smells like strawberries and the packaging is adorable. I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty.

CG Lash Blast (Not sure why I never purchase this before. My eyelashes always look so long and full after use and I never experience gross, annoying clumping.

Smashbox Artificial Light Flash, MAC makeup remover, Tarte Lock and Roll Crease-less Eyeshadow Duo

NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil 914 Medium Brown

MAC Liquid Last Liner - Point Black

MAC Graphblack Technakohl Liner Eyeliner Kajal

MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 NC35 - Honestly one of the first concealers that I have used that literally gives me full coverage. Not to mention it lasts pretty much all day for me which is a first!

MAC Viva Glam Cyndi! (Love how it isn't intense. And you can build it up to your liking. Beautiful red!)

YSL sample Parisienne (Very musky and feminine - more of an older women scent..)

Smashbox lipstick in Smashing Candle - A very soft shimmery Pink. Another product my mom sneaks into my room for. I find it perfect with bold smokey eyes or just on those days when you want to keep it natural.

NYX lip gloss in True Star (Dark bronze color - Not for everyday use.. In fact i feel like it's almost not for any day use.. Will probably never use it and will definitely not purchase this again.

Pacifica Ruby Guava Solid perfume (My mother told me that it smelt gross so now i'm afraid to wear it. It can be a little too sweet. Which I have noticed from a lot of the other solid perfumes from Pacifica.

Buxom Lips in Amber - My signature gloss. Probably the only lip gloss besides Dolly by Bare Escentuals that I will continue to repurchase.

And drum roll........ MARC JACOBS DAISY!!!

Marc Jacobs Daisy! When I first smelt this in Macys to see what all the hype was about I was completely turned off. The smell reminded me of an old bouquet of flowers that have been sitting in water for too long. But today when I had gone in to buy an MSF at MAC I decided to try it out again but this time spray it on myself and I loved it... It's such a pretty clean floral smell. Prefect for literally any occasion plus the packaging is adorable!

I already owned the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and to be honest I find it pretty unwearable. For me at least... But when I tried this one out I fell in love! I've been really into red lips and I love how this color isn't too much. You can apply it sheer or add a few more coats for a bold look. It's a beautiful color. But it's a LE so go and get it while you can!

The start of my cheek product addiction!

Starting from the left.. NARS Laguna - Glad to finally get my hands on this! It's the perfect bronze with gold shimmer but not too much.

MAC Gingerly - LOVE this. Sort of like a bronzer but has more orange tones in it. My mom even sneaks into my room to borrow this.

MAC MSF Comfort - Some of the reviews on this product did turn me off a bit since I thought it was going to look too orange and shimmery but when I had gone into my Macys to check it out myself I had to get it. It's my first MSF and I picked up the last one they had. Though I still think you can purchase it on Mac's website along with Petticoat which I think I am going to purchase today after i go to the bank.

Next is MAC Peachtwist. I find this one a little harder to wear cause I feel that it's pretty shimmery but I bought it because I really do like the color. I just need to grow out of my comfort zone :)

MAC Pinch O'Peach - This color is so beautiful. I find it perfect for everyday wear and it gives my cheeks a really natural flush.

Last is my MAC To The Beach Cream Bronzer in Weekend. Starts off like a cream and finishes as a powder. I use my small duo fiber brush from Sigma, leaving an airbrushed bronzed look. The red specks in it are beautiful.

Also... It should be coming in the mail any day now. But I just purchased the UD NAKED Palette and a NARS blush in Amour! Wooo! Can't wait to try them out. I know im going to love them!

My Stila 'It Girl' Palette in Warm. Lame (pronounced law-may), Chloe and Kitten. $10

I have not used eyeshadow on a daily basis since I had worked with Bare Escentuals makeup and that was about 2 years ago. I find this trio very lovely. The colors are more shimmery than pigmented but for me I find them to be perfect for when i'm not wanting too much makeup on but want to brighten my eyes. I'm sure all of you know of Kitten. It's the color that I cannot stop using out of this palette, i'm almost considering buying it in a pot.

NYX pencil in Medium Brown, MAC Liquid Last Liner - Point Black (I've been wanting to buy a liquid liner so that I can achieve the perfect cat eye look and this does the trick. It dries matte and I really like how it doesn't look chunky or like it's going to peel. It also stays on until I take it off which is nice because I find it annoying to have to touch up and keep reapplying liner especially with a cat eye, MAC Graphblack Technakohl Liner Eyeliner Kajal - glides on so smooth!
Tarte Lock and Roll - The primer is very creamy and easy to blend and I really do like how it comes with a roll on shadow.
Smashbox Artificial Light Flash. I personally like this product a lot I put a couple of small dabs under my eye and above my cheek and it gives off such a nice glow.

MAC, Revlon and more goodies :)

I am honestly loving Revlon Colorburst lipsticks! I just picked up Baby Pink and Carnation from CVS the other day along with Blankety and Baby from MAC.. I don't know if it's just my skin tone but I think that Angel and Blankety look terrible on me. Not so much baby since it at least has pink color. But blankety on me looks like I had put concealer on my lips and makes me look dead. The consistency of the mac lipsticks are really rich and creamy where the Colorburts are pretty sheer. For me, I kind of like lipsticks that are sheer unless I'm going out but even then I feel like mac lipsticks can be too overpowering at times. Maybe I should switch to lipglasses?

Blankety... My least favorite. I want to buy Girl About Town and the lip conditioner in Fuschia.

Baby PinkCarnation

Angel

OMG. Sooo.. When I went in to buy a face sunscreen I saw the EOS lip balm in Honeydew Melon.. only one left while I was waiting in line and let me tell you that this is one of the most addicting chap sticks I have ever used. When I first opened this, I tried applying it with my finger until I saw a picture of someone using it like a regular chapstick. It's so creamy and makes my lips feel amazing.
Neutrogena Oil-free Moisturizer. I haven't heard the best reviews on this product. I read that it made people break out but I haven't experienced any of that yet. I like that it smells like SPF and I like how a little goes a long way for me. Unless I come across another moisturizer with a reasonable price that shows better results, I will be sticking with this one.
MAC Fix +. Seen way too many reviews on this baby and had to get it. The only con about this spray is that it doesn't mist out on my whole face. I have used the Evian Mineral Water Spray for so long since that was what my mom use to always buy and I loved it. Though the Mac Fix + has a nice scent, I think I might save the extra few bucks and stick to my Evian. Lo siento MAC lovers..

Karma Creations - Buddha Balm in Strawberry. My friend got me this the other day for my birthday when she was in Canada. I am obsessed with buddhas and I am in LOVE. It's the perfect tint and super moisturizing. I'm not sure where she got this exactly but they have a website :) http://www.buddhabalm.com/
MAC Petting Pink Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15. I got this today cause I thought the color was nice when i did a swatch on my skin... On my lips I see nothing. Ugh but whatever I have a new lip conditioner and it's really moisturizing. And the SPF part is a plus.

Just a couple of items I bought today at CVS

Revlon Photo Ready in 005 Natural Beige. I haven't noticed shimmer? Overall I think it gives my skin a nice look and feel. But I still like Revlon ColorStay more than this.Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black
Milani Minerals Luminous Blush 201

I decided to get this because I heard it was a pretty close dupe to the NARS Orgasm blush and it was only about $5. But i just got a gift card for sephora so I am going to purchase the NARS Orgasm blush next.

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Plumper in Amber, NYX 150 Juicy Pink, NYX 146 Baby Rose

Gemmed eyelash curler from Pure 1 Imports :)
Gal Collection Vaseline Balm in Red Currant - Urban Outfitters

Violet from the Gal Collection is my absolute favorite!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation Combo/Oily Skin in 330 Natural TanAVEDA Inner Light Concealer in Hazelnut

Loreal True Match Powder in Neutral

I only bought this because it was on sale and i ended up really liking this powder! But I do want to try out the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder or Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder.

Suggestions!

Mac Limited Edition 'Apply & Blend' Face Brushes. Mac runs for $49.50 at Nordstrom. Contains the 168SE, 187SE, 190SE and 194SE brushes.

And Sigma runs for $49. Contains Powder brush, foundation brush, large angled contour brush, concealer brush, pencil brush, tapered blending brush and eye shading brush.

I'm on a mission to find a set of affordable brushes. I have the Bare Escentuals Soft Focus Face Brush, the Kabuki Brush, the Full Tapered Shadow Brush and the Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush. I got them only because I worked with Bare Escentuals products for a while but to be honest I really don't like any of them. All of these I've had for far too long and they aren't very soft..

I was thinking Coastal Scents or possibly Sigma cause I know Sigma brushes are kind of dupes of the Mac brushes.

I love ASOS!

Beautiful Summer Skin

I am a lotion addict.

My favorites would have to be pretty much anything from the HEMPZ Pure Herbal Extracts line.

Original, Age Defying, Cucumber/Jasmine and the new Pomegranate.

The pomegranate lotion is very thick and creamy and the scent is sweet but not overpowering. My skin always feels soft after using it.

For everyday use i would go with the age defying. "Helps skin appear softer and smoother instantly, then firmer and more toned within 15 days." - Hempz Supre

The original i love but working at a tanning salon killed the scent for me. I feel like every time i wear it i smell like tanning lotion.

The cucumber and Jasmine. Smells and feels fabulous!

All lotions ranging from $8-28 If you have a cosmo card prices can range from $3-13!

AVEDA Replenishing Body Moisturizer $23

Light and mildy fragrant lotion that contains pure plant a flower essences. The consistency is thick but not overpowering like a cream. Smells like you've just left a day spa every time you use any product from their company. Add two drops of Beautifying Composition Oil $23 and your skin will never feel better! The oil restores moisture and relieves dryness. Contains Bergamont, Jojoba oil, Lavender, Rosemary and Vitamin E.

Drugstore lotions:

Aveeno Stress Relieving Moisterizing Lotion $8.49

My dad, who is also a lotion addict bought the original daily moisturizer recently. The original scent i'm not to fond of but the lavender stress relief is so calming and i love how the lotion is thick. I cannot stand lotion that is watery, even if it sinks in fast. I feel those lotions don't last as long for me. Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair Body Lotion: $8.79 Another good moisturizing lotion. No greasy, oily residue and is an amazing lotion at a good price! Other product lines that work well are Vaseline, Jergens and St. Ives. Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret have lotions that are almost too much for me. I might like it for... a day and that's about all it does for me. I feel like i have wasted my money every time i buy and never use their products. The only one i would probably choose is Warm Vanilla Sugar by Bath and Body Works. Though the smell of that after a while even gets old for me. What do you think?
