Updates and In's & Out's

Hey Beauties!

I know I have been seriously lacking in the blog departement and I am seriously sorry! This week was messed up! I was in the guest room, which I hated ( IT WAS BROWN!!! ) and I wasn't in my own room, then the bestie comes over and the computer wire POPS! So we take it to Future Shop, and it turns out the only problem was the wire, not the computer.. phew! At least it was under warranty so we don't have to pay for the wire! It's like 81.00!!!

Makeup Translations:

$81.00 = 4 MAC Eyeshadows

$81.00 = 5 MAC Lipsticks

lol well you get the point!

Well my room is finally done! I am thrilled! Here's the video tour :)

Anyways, let's get to the IN'S and the OUT's!

In:

1) LUSH : I am in love with Lush! I had it in my mall for so long, but only bought stuff this week! I've been using the Therapy Massage Bar for a couple of days and my body feels so soft! I cannot wait to try other kinds of the Massage Bars! I love the Porridge and Honey I washed the kids soap, blehhh, Rockstar I can live without, the smell isn't that heaveanly for moi :)

2) Saving Money: I am going on a NO buying makeup spree! I hope I can do it.. I can't really afford it right now.. but Im also saving for Style Warrior and the Honey Collection :)

3) GOSH: It is seriously a cheaper version of MAC! The eyeshadows and pigments are colorful and great! Their lipsticks and lipglosses are beautiful and I love the colors! I love the eyeliners also!

4) IKEA: Even though the whole concept of the store confuses me, their products are modern and great! I love them, especially my Audrey Hepburn picture!

5) Audrey Hepburn: What can I say? She's classy, beautiful and timeless!

OUT'S:

1) Youtube Guru's think that they are all that: I've been talking with some lovely ladies lately and i've realized that some people think they are all that! Girl, just because you have thousands of subscribers, does not make you Queen Latifah! PLEASE don't have that attitude!

2) PINK Walls: Some pinks are fine, but my old room was hideous! I don't know how my parents did that to me and chose that color!

3) Liquid Foundation: It's Spring! No need for a full face of makeup! Time to lighten up the makeup and use tinted foundation or powder :) I'm excited even though I hardly use liquid foundation!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my list ! Have a beautiful day!

GOSH Haul & Swatches!

Hey Beauties!

So I decided to buy a couple of things from GOSH. GOSH in my little mind, it almost the same as MAC because a lipstick is like $13.00 so it's not exactly cheap, but the quality and pigmentation are amazing and unique!

I bought a lipgloss in #100 , a lipstick in Darling , and a Eyeliner in Bananas!

Here are the swatches, the lipgloss is pretty amazing if you ask me!

Starting at the left : Lipgloss in #100

Middle: Eyeliner in Bananas

Lipstick in Darling

Just look at that lipgloss, its like purple, and it changes colors in the sun!

i know, its a mini haul, but I love it!

im so happy about my purchases!

Stay beautiful!

Diorshow Blackout (w and w/o the mascara base!)

Hey Beauties!

In my most recent haul video (Mexico Haulin') I bought the Lancome Mascara Base & Diorshow Blackout. I decided I wanted to post a video on the difference and do a tiny, small review based on 3 days of using the products!

First off, the mascara base is great ($23.00 USD)! It really separates the lashes and makes the lashes more defined! The mascara itself (Diorshow Blackout - $23.00 USD) doesn't really clump, it just really thickens and in my opinion, gives the illusion of fake lashes! It is my favorite mascara at the moment, as it lengthens, curls and thickens my lashes without clumping!

Of course, these are my lashes, and like skin, everyone's is different!

The main difference between using the primer and not using the primer is that on my lashes, they are more defined and not as close together. However, without the primer, they are further apart and very defined and seperated while staying thickened.

The primer claims to make the color of the mascara darker, as my mascara is "Kohl Black" I don't really see a difference, if we're being honest :)

So this is it for my mini review, ill be uploading pictures later!

Have a beautiful day!

Vacation Photos (Part 1) -- Dolphins!

Hey Beauties!

Today I went to swim with the dolphins in Mexico! It was truly an incredible experience that I think everyone should do once in their life! They are such friendly creatures who are so smart and kind, and it's so sad that they are slaughtered in Japan, so join a Facebook Group or any group and help stop it!

I decided to upload a couple of pictures to show you guys a little bit of my vacation! This first part will be with the dolphins!

Another belly ride picture! I didn't pull too hard! I was terrified of pulling of it's fin! I know! How silly is that? Still! It was scary, I didn't want to hurt her~

This dolphin was so sweet and pretty! They are seriously the cutest things in the ocean!

She swam past us and we were allowed to touch her! It was a great experience! They feel so different, but so good!

They gave us a handshake! Their fins are adorable and soft! I held them softly, I didn't want to hurt her!

I hope you enjoy the pictures!

It doesn't really have anything to do with beauty but I figured you guys might want to see a little more of me! Yea, Right Allie! No but I wanted you girls/guys to get to know me a little better!

Have a beautiful day!

Hair:

Shampoo: L'Oreal Salon (Yellow Bottle)
It's the one that repairs your hair! I love it, my hair feels so great after this! It's a little more pricey but it's worth it for your hair. If I don't use that, I use Herbal Esscences, which smells amazing!

Conditioner: If I use conditioner I use the L'Oreal Salon (Yellow Tub)
It doubles as a mask but it's amazing. If I don't use that one I use whichever repairs hair that happens to be in my shower!

Mask: Soap & Glory Hair Mask (Avaliable at Target!) It's amazing and as the beautiful "Msfililocalola" points out, it smells like Mrs. Dior Cherie!

Styling Products: I use detangler.. I have thin hair so if I use product my hair gets greasy!

Body:

Shower Gel: In the mornings, Suave coconut body wash, if at night I use the Bath & Body Works
Black Chamomile body wash, it makes me sleepy! NO joke !

Body Moisterizer: Whatever I have nearest to me!

Deoderant: Secret in "Baby Powder" or "Cool Cucumber"

Fake Tan: Im not using fake tan, but at home I have the Duwop one! It looks so natural and is foolproof!

Face:

Cleanser: I use either "Clearasil", but that's only in the shower because I don't usually have time to wash my face before I hit the shower, so I have it in my shower and cleanse my face while conditioning my face! If I don't take a shower at night I use Clinique or cleansing wipes!

Eye Makeup Remover: Olay Illuminating Makeup Removing and Cleanser wipes! These are great! They feel good, work excellent and even remove waterproof mascara!

Exfoliator: St-Ives Apricot Scrub ! It's great!

Makeup:

Primer: Smashbox Photofinish (Original!) It works great for me!

Foundation: MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in "Medium"! Such great coverage for a
powder! It covers redness and is perfect for me!

Foundation Brush: Everyday Minerals Kabuki Brush ! It's so soft and buffs it in!

Concealer: Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette or MAC Studio Fix Concealer in NW15! They both work amazing and cover so well!

Powder: MAC Mineralized Skinfinsh Natural

Eyeshadow Base: UDPP , (MAC's) Painterly or Girlfriendly Paintpot

Eyeshadow: I'm loving MAC's "Shale", "Femme-FI", "Beautiful Iris", NARS' "Ondine" .. Pretty much what I use everyday!

Eyeliner: Urban Decay 24/7 in "Zero"

Eyelash Curler: Shu Uemura (Can't Spell it) I love it, it doesn't pinch, but the NYX one is pretty close! I love it!

Eyelash Primer: I don't have one on it's own, I guess the one thats on the other side of one of my
mascaras!

Lipstick: MAC's "Fresh Brew", "Cute-Ster" [EVEN THOUGH IT BROKE IN HALF >:( ] and my FAV "Pretty Please"

Lipgloss: NARS "Striptease" , MAC's "Mimmy", "She loves Candy" and Dazzleglass in "Sugarrimmed"
