Drugstore Haulings

I love a good deal as much as the next person so the past couple of days I picked up a bunch of things that were on sale =] We'll just call it retail therapy.

So Rite Aid is currently having a 40% off on Maybelline products so I picked up some things i've been needing or wanting to try.  I picked up Baby Lips because I've been looking for a good lip balm and so far so good =].  The Great Lash Lots of lashes called out to me because of the brush tho I've never tried the Great Lash line of mascaras.  I also picked up Line Stilletto because I can never find L'oreal Lineur Intense anymore. & of course Define a Brow b/c that's my go to brow pencil. I saw a display for Jessie's Girl eye pencils so I picked up 2 brown ones to try.

I also saw the display for Julie G polishes and picked up 5 colors. BUT I didn't realize they were $3.99. IDK how I feel about the price considering that I can get other name brand polishes for $4.

At Kmart I picked up 4 Jordana LOL lipglosses on a whim b/c the store was having a friends and fam sale.  I wanted to pick other products but the store I went to had a limited supply and they were all used in some way. YUCK!!! OH and on my Sunday morning Dollar Store run, to get the newspaper for coupons, I saw them putting out NYC Mosaic Color Wheels.  I decided to pick one up and try it out since I see a lot of people like them.

Has anyone tried any of these products ??? Thoughts???

Halloween Inspired + Tutorial

I filmed another video GO ME! LOL  I just used colors that remind me of halloween.

PLEASE remember that you don't have to use what I use.  You can use what you have and what works for YOU!

Fall Inspired + Tutorial

Yeah you read right Tutorial!  For YEARS, People have stopped me asking to do Youtube vids even when I wasn't that good.  Fast Forward, I bought a camcorder last month but was hesitant to record as I have no knowledge of this.  Than I Meet Richie Nickle who tells me i have to record mind u, I looked like a HOT FUCKING MESS because It was hot in NYC.  Than like 80 girls are asking me if i'm on youtube.  That being said yesterday I finally recorded but as I was editing something happened.  AGAIN I have no knowledge of this so I was like EHHH.  This morning i tried it again AND this is the result.  I re-did a look that I posted on Specktra last year that people requested.  (If you have a look u want done REQUEST NOW!) 

My Dark Magic

I'm such an old lady, at 23 I don't go out as much like I used to... But on Saturday my friend text me last minute to go out for a drink.  I had no clue how to due my make-up but Lindsey from Pretty as Peaches suggested a smokey teal or smokey purple look. I went with purple being that I had My Dark Magic & Designer Purple Pearlglide that needed love.  AND I busted out these old Rimmel Lashes I bought like years ago!

I'm on a Roll Baby!

Another look from today!  I have like NO pictures because I was running late for class BUT I wanted to post.  I wanted to do a plum lip but I ran out of time.  There is always tomorrow =]

Harajuku Barbie ???

So on on my way to class today minding my business when so girl stops me and says my make-up is like Nicki Minaj's.  I guess it was a compliment BUT I don't follow Miss Minaj so I was just like eh!  Nothing against her I do see her make-up and it cute BUT I am no follower.  I've been doing my make-up long before Nicki was relevant.  WHATEVER! I've never seen a look like mine on her

In my head I had a different look but as I was doing it this is what came out...

Peacocky & Undercurrent

I'm like in LOVE with the Kat Von D Memento Mori palette.  I reach for it whenever I have no clue about what I'm trying to do with my make-up.  Saturday was one of those days. I had a party to go to at my best friend's house SB:(@Krislloyd tweet him with any of your fashion questions and such he's give it to you like it is & yes he can because he's been in the industry for several years now working with models & designers =]).  ANYWHO this is the look I came up with using Undercurrent pearlglide as a base which I have NEVER used since I got it!  It's so pretty! and I also pulled out Peacocky Glitter liner <333 I forgot how pretty it was!  OH and my go to lip lately has been Strange Potion & Sweet Tart, I've gotten so many compliments on it.  Def. don't regret purchasing Strange Potion!

P.S.  I kinda recorded this look because i had natural light coming in, to see how it came out I'm gunna play around with it since i have no editing or video knowledge =]

Hella Sick..

But I looked hella cute today!  Whoop Whoop!!!! Nothing like looking cute to help you feel better.  I have like the worst cold of 2010 & its messing with my asthma.  Me & not being able to breathe = a hella cranky bitch .. yeah i'll admitt it =]  BUT this week the weather is finally feeling like fall so I had to break out one of the 1000000000 cardigans that still had the tags on them waiting to be worn.  Make-up is inspired from my cardigan, purple grey & black.  ID give a rats A** if your not suposed to match your make-up to you clothes... Its obvious i don't follow rules =]

Beep Beep who got the keys to my jeep ???

I don't own a jeep LOL!  I was going to name this post I can't stand the rain & than that Missy Elliot song popped in my head so I figured I ride with it ... Proceeding on this is my I have a 8 am monday morning history lecture class and I'm not trying to look like a dead like everyone else in the class.  Although when the teacher puts on the video, turns off the lights when i blink my eyes feel so good closed I don't bother to open them for 5 minutes.  ANYWHO so we finally get cooler temperatures but its raining.  Like pouring cats & dogs rain.  Like i don't own rainboots & an umbrella yet i need them rain.  I got to class soaking wet!   Tho my pictures were taking pre wet dog status ...

SB: i hate wearing brown LOL looks at the picks made me realize that luckily its my pj shirt

Another Memento Mori Look

I don't have the energy to think of a clever post name ....I woke up today so sickies!  But I made sure I put my best face on plus I have so many different combos in mind with these new palettes i'm trying to bang them out.  I only had one class today but let me tell you my teacher is a mess!  LOL  Ratemyprofessor.com ratings said he was good & he was hott.  UMMMM this man looks & talks like he's out of a OG gangster movie IE.  The godfather.  NO LIE!  He had the bronx accent, cursed frequently & that IDGAF nyc swag.  But I can tell he's gunna be a good teacher. He's right to the point and none of that BS fluffy busy work teachers give you.  He's a screenwriter that is getting one of his plays published right now.  So I'm hella stoked to learn from somebody like that.  He writes crime stuff like the sopranos LOL surprise surprise.  Whatever  It took me longer to get ready for class than I was there for real!  Its almost a 3 hour class he let us out within and hour and says he usually does. GREAT!  

BACK to make-up I pulled out the Momento Mori palette again.  I love it.  IDK if its because Halloween is coming and the theme of the palette is Dia del los Muertos (day of the dead).  HMMM i'll try & put the other one to use tomorrow.  Promise!  How weird is it that I took pictures and NONE looking at the camera???  I was def. out of it this morning!  P.S.  I love the WET & WILD Vanity Palette!  I've used it everyday since I got it ... Review on that coming up next =]

Your Make-up is FIERCE!

Today was my first day back to school so I got up extra early 5:30 am to be exact! I must really love you guys and this blog because I allotted myself extra time to do my make-up & take pictures.  GO ME!  PLUS I wanted to put Momento Mori (should I review it??) to good use.  I'm SOOOO HAPPY I got it.  (Does that even state how Elated I am LOL)  ANYways I felt like I didn't buff in my blush that much it was really bright in the pics but no so much in person (weird!?)  But I got all self conscious.  Then I get to school and people LITERALLY roll out off bed and come to class so I was getting more creeped out by the looks.  WHATEVER! I look, smell, & feel good LOL!  So I'm in the bathroom and this girl from my class stops me and is like "OH EM GEE your make-up is FIERCE so FIERCE"  All the girls in there turned and looked needless to say I got all shy.  I couldn't wait to get home & share my look with all of you so without further adieu ....

I got that Smokey kinda love...

I have like never watched a Miss Universe Pageant but I saw that everyone and their mom was twittering about Miss Guatemala looking GORGEOUS so I had to peep it out.  For those who don't know My Mom is Guatemalan & my Dad is Salvadorean but I was born & raised in New Jersey but I never forget my roots.  Those who know me know that i often long for trips back to their home because its a 180 from living here not that i'm complaining because life is def. better here.  It just happens that everyone back home is humble and its always peaceful.  

 

 

That being said Miss Guatemala was EFFIN GORG! For like the first time in forever, and I was so surprised.  She was very kardashianesque and she was rocking that smokey eye.  Well a lot of the girls were and it instantly rekindled my love of smokey eyes.

Project Recreation: Demi Lovato

I never payed Demi Lovato any mind because she was on Disney, so I just assumed she was Miley Cyrus Pt.2.  Not My Cup Of Tea!  Fast Forward to earlier this week when I went to see her in concert.  I was truly surprised.  She came out actually signing not lip syncing to a pre-recorded track!  Surprising now a days, I know.  But what really got me was her make-up.  I was intrigued because it was such a simple look but it was really pretty to me. 

I had a couple of make-up ideas I've been wanting to do but I decided  on this simple recreation of Demi's look from the other night at the concert.  It could be categorized as a back to school look or even a work look.

TIP: want your lipstick to stay on longer???  apply your foundation, concealer & powder to your lips before lipstick/gloss.  It helps to neutralize your lip color and gives a base for the lipstick to adhere to.
