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

Blusher: MAC HK Beauty Powder Blush in "Fun & Games" or MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish Degrade in "Blonde"! Im addicted to these two!

Bronzer: MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW43! It works amazing and looks natural on me!

Highlighter: I don't use highlighter yet!

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"

Nailcolor: a pale, clear-ish pink by OPI called Dulche Leche or Dulce Leche? I got it done at the spa, its preeeety!

Update 01.23.09

Heey :)

How is everyone? I haven't updated in so long, and I feel totally bad about it, but it's not my fault. I got sick on Tuesday, because EVERYONE is sick at school now, but I still went to school on Wednesday, and that was just the straw that broke the camels back. With all the germs, I got sick, and I had to stay home on Thursday and Friday, which was okay since I could just relax, catch up on some YouTube videos, talk with some of my new/old friends, watch some shows, and RE READ the Twilight Saga, yeah, it was pretty intense.

Enough about me, I just wanted to let you guys know what is going on in my life and that I haven't forgotten about you and even if I don't comment, i'm watching your videos and they're great!

Written Review: Stila Talking Palette!



Hey Girls and Guys :)





I am going to do my first written review, because I still have upload my review on the Stila Talking Palette in "Puurfect Cat Eyes". My sister bought me this for Christmas, and it's avalible at http://www.stila.com/ , http://www.sephora.com/, and wherever else you are lucky enough to find Stila products.





DISCLAIMER: THIS REVIEW IS JUST MY OPINION OF THIS PRODUCT!

Let's Begin :)

I have to say that this is my "go to product" when i'm in a rush or want a great, natural, neutral look. It has great natural looking colors, and those are what im into now. I don't really wear bright colors, since it's not really my style, so hence, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. It comes with the Talking Palette, a Liquid Liner Pen thingy, and a Stila liner brush, all for just $45 ! The liquid liner alone is $16!

The quality of the eyeshadows are great. You get a base, an all over lid color, a crease color and a liner color. The base color is great for a powdered base for every look. However, I find that the lid color which is Stila's signature color, "Kitten", is a little loose. When I run my brush over the shadow, there is a lot of fallout and it looks like a pigment, well kinda *lol*. The crease color is amazing! I love it, especially for natural or neutral looks. It's not too dark, but not too light, and it blends in perfectly, but it is defined enough to see the crease. The liner is a very good powder liner. It is seriously dark, and is easy to move, and doesn't clump in some areas.

Base: 4.5/5 (.5 off, because it's not perfect.)

Lid: 4/5 (lots of fallout.)

Crease: 5/5 (It's Perfect!)

Liner: 4/5 ( Not Perfect)

The liquid liner is amazing too! You can use it as a pen and is extremely easy to use for winged liner and works great and goes really close to the base of your lashes. It doesn't irriatate my sensitive eyes. I really like it, and it's very steardy, reliable, and you can basically cry and it wouldn't really move :)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW RATING: 9.5/10..

I gave it .5 because its nearly 100% perfect, but its not, and I wouldn't be honest giving it a 10!

I hope you guys liked my review:)

Look for a video sooooon!

xo, Allie
