Mac, Estee, and Borders Haul:)


Yay!!! Haul time!! And what a wonderful haul it is. Its all thanks to Zoella and Pixi2woo for motivating me to make these purchases. First off the Gaga lipstick: i wasn't crazy about this lipstick, but because everyone else was so excited about it and it seemed to be sold out everywhere in the world except Jacksonville, FL i gave it another go. I was pleasantly surprised it looked cute on me so i got it, its like a more wearable Snob. Cindi lipstick was nice, but it didn't do anything for me. Next is the Liberty of London: I thought this collection was absolutely freaking adorable, but it took me a while to figure out what i wanted. Zoella finally posted a blog about it and i was sold on the glosses: Perennial High Style (Coral) & English Accents (Lilac). I was very excited when Perennial turned out to be the perfect topper to Jubilee l/s. English Accents is amazing on a pink l/s or by itself.
I like most people am not a fan of beauty powders especially Mac, because they break me out, so i didn't get any. I would get more use out of blushes, so i want to start to collect l/e blush cases. To that effect i got Prim & Proper. It wasn't a hard decision because Dirty Plum was awful on me. Prim & Proper is actually a really nice warm nudey pink. I have nothing like it at the moment and I'm really glad i got it! Michael Kors for Estee Lauder: Ok so I've been seeing this collection pop up in pixiwoo & pixi2woo videos and i had to check it out. Its mostly sold out everywhere even here in Jville, i got lucky with this eyeshadow: Blond Mink. Pixi2woo uses this palette in her Scarlett Johansen Moet Ad video. Looking to get the other palette in the near future:) I tried the gloss Honey Blonde and was not impressed. It was very sheer and the taste yuck. Nars Striptease is loads better. Next The Lightning Thief: I've been looking to read this book for a while now plus pixi2woo said she was reading it and that really spurred me to go get it. Geez, do ya think i like Tanya much? Swatches and looks yet to come...

Twilightly




Ok, I am a fan of the Twilight movies, not of the books, just the movies. Mainly because i find Robert Pattinson dreamy as hell and i thought that since he did The Goblet of Fire. Kristen Stewart i also find interesting and i always love the way her stylist does her up. Another of my interests are beautiful magazine covers. And when the two combine - magic. In preparation for the US June release date of Eclipse, Stewart is gracing the cover of ELLE magazine and i believe ELLE UK. I'm excited for both to be released since not much information can be found online yet. Her makeup like usual looks amazing and i cant wait to mimic it:)



A Classique Twist



Hi everyone!! So I'm really excited to announce i found a new fragrance that i loooove. This is exciting for me because I am really picky. My very first perfume was Coco Mademoiselle and that went on for years.. I never did shop around because when i didn't i was always disappointed. Then i smelt Viva La Juicy. That was more of what i was looking for a sweet fruity sent that was sexy and flirty. So i wore that for a while, but as most people are aware Viva doesn't last but an hour and it gone. I played with the other Juicys....ehh they were ok, but i wanted something better. And Flowerbomb hit me. It is an amazing fragrance and an adorable bottle and one thing came to mind: I have to have this. But this isn't the one i picked. I work in the fragrance department now at a store so i smell dozens of scents a day and i thought i didn't like the JPGaultier's Classique Perfumes (there are 4 different versions) I thought they were tacky and weird with the women shape bottles and all and funny scents. But i sprayed the Classique toilette for a customer and i was in shock. My jaw dropped and i could smell the sweet sugary bold sexiness of the toilette, and the excitement began. I found the brouchure and researched the components: the Parfum - Vanilla base, Orchid mid, Rose top - for a bewitching sophisticated sexy woman ( my cup of tea!!). the Toilette - Vanilla base, Orange Blossom mid, Rose top - for a bolder attention getting sexy woman. And the newest Classique "X" i dont really like, its supposed to be the fresher version. I love the bottles and i need one on my dresser asap!

Benefit: Powderflage to set it.
Foundation of the Day
Power: Bareminerals Mineral-veil
Bronzer: Bareminerals Warmth
Highlight: Mac MSF Redhead or Blonde
Blush: Mac Angel or Nars Deep throat
Mac Painterly Paintpot a must!
Eyeshadow: Varies i use Mac Blanc Type alot, and the Nars Pleasures of Paris Palette. But my new fav combo is Mac Satin Taupe on the lid then Nars Cordura (my fav eyeshadow of all time) in the crease.
