February Favorites! :)

So, eh. I got bored, had no homework, and i'm going to bed in about 2 hours.

I figured because of that i'd do a post now, because I know if I don't do one when I have the time, then I won't do one for the rest of the week because I have a lot going on this week.

Anyways, February Favorites!! :)

Not as many favorites this time, but enough. :))

Enjoy!

1. The Color Workshop Blush, Pressed Powder, and Bronzer Powder Palette

I never really used this because it came in one of those big $9.99 sets of like cheap-y makeup. I recently picked this up though and I use it every day now! It's really great for fast face makeup. I use the left light pink color as a highlight on my brow bone (when i'm not already wearing one), the right hot pink on my cheeks, and the bronzer around my face. It gives me a really great glow! :) (Not really sure what i'm supposed to use the silver for though, any ideas?)

2. MAC Hello Kitty Tinted Lip Conditioner in Popster

I carry this with me everyday now. It's also something i've re-discovered but I can put a light coat on for a really nice light pink flush and build it up for a really hot pink coral color. I love it for summer, and i've made a huge dent in it. It's really moisturizing too, i'm thinking about getting the regular not colored lip conditioner from MAC soon.

3. Model Co. Color Box Eyeshadow in Antiqua 02

Basically, this color is just really nice and versatile. It reminds me of NARS Albatross eyeshadow actually! I mostly use it as a highlight though.

4. Wet N' Wild Kohl Kajal Pencil Liner in White

I like this alot, I actually never use it on my waterline though. I use this in my inner corner and I sometimes use it as an all over eye base for when I wear wear shadows. :) It's really creamy and smooth. Only 99 cents! :))

5. NYC Brow/Eye Liner Pencil in Jet Black 921A

I use this on my upper and lower lash line now. It's really pigmented and creamy and only 93 cents. I also use this on the days when I don't wanna do a lot of makeup, I run this on my upper lash line and smudge it out then do the same on my lower.

6. Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream

I did a review on this so check out that if you wanna know what I think about it.

7. Essence of Beauty Control Powder Brush

Super soft. Super soft. Super soft. Self explanatory.

8. Elf Studio Powder Brush

(See above)

Well that's it! Hope you enjoyed this! Sorry for the crappy photos btw, took these at night. Anyways, bye!

February Favorites, Over & Out.

January Favorites. :)

Finally a favorites post! I'm on a roll today with posts! Haha, anyways...my first favorites post. I have a lot this month but that's okay.... :)
 So, I'm just going to get started.
The first category is just nails...
Only one product for nails, and that's my Sinful Colors Professional Nail Polish in Vacation Time. This nail polish does chip horribly....but this color is so cute that I don't even really care. It's like a pinky neutral color. Very pretty! :)

Next category is Eyes! :)

This category I picked out 4 products...
The first product is Loreal HIP Cream Shadow Paint in Secretive. I love this because it's a really nice base over primer. It's a really soft creamy skintone color with slight shimmer.
Then there's the Wet N' Wild Mega Protein Mascara in Black. It's really cheap and really black! It really darkens my lashes, which is one of my biggest things. I usually use it with another mascara.
Then there's the Maybelline Chai Latte Quad. I use this just about everyday unless I want to do a special look. It's shadows are all really soft and pigmented, so definitely recommended! (Swatches below)

Then there's my Wet N' Wild Cream Liner in Black! I bought this a while back....but I only used it once and hated it. Well as of recently I ran out of my favorite liquid liner and I was sort of forced to use this one. I used it though and immediately fell in love! I use it with a angled liner brush and it goes on really nicely. It gives me the liner look I like but also looks natural.
Next category is Lips! :)
Quite a few products for this one, so I'm not going to do reviews, I'm just going to tell you the colors.

From left to right, there's:

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude

MAC Lipstick in Warm Me Up (from the Warm & Cozy collection, it's an amplified creme)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushed

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Airy Fairy

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Birthday Suit

Here are swatches in the same order:

 Revlon Nude Attitude is just a nude color similiar to MAC Myth Lipstick but with more pinky peachy undertones.

MAC Warm Me Up Lipstick is a really nice neutral pink color that's VERY pigmented considering it's an amplified cream.

Revlon Blushed is just a really nice fall color it's a very rich burgundy color but is like a MLBB (my lips but better) shade with shimmer.

Rimmel London Airy Fairy is a very cool undertoned mauve, it's definitely more purple than pink.

Rimmel London Birthday Suit is a sort of shimmery nude with more beige orangey peachy undertones.

The next category is...Face!

 For this I just have Wet N' Wild Ultimate Mineral Powder Foundation in Fair, Benefit High Beam, and Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous Foundation Faker in Light.

I love all the products and the foundation faker from Benefit is definitely something that I will buy again. This was in a $10 set from Sephora (that you can see in an earlier haul) but I am planning on buying the full size when I run out of this travel size, which is about $24, but I'm definitely willing to pay that.

The next category is Miscellaneous! :)

 For this I chose the Elf Eyebrow Kit in Light and my new Revlon Makeup Eraser Pen.

I was supposed to do an Elf haul but I never got around to it (I might do one big Elf review soon). I love this eyebrow kit though, It comes with a pigmented wax to shape and define brows and a light powder to set eyebrows. I got this in light because my eyebrows are currently pretty light, but I might have to buy one in dark pretty soon because I'm going to be dying my hair a really dark 'almost black' brown.

The makeup eraser pen from Revlon was on sale when I got it and is usually around $8.00, I paid around $2.00 for mine. I would definitely pay full price though! I'll definitely be doing a review on this soon.

 

The next category is brushes....:)

I only have 3 brushes for this, all Elf (also from my big Elf purchase, that I should have done a haul on).

I love the Elf Studio Powder Brush, it's flat top and I have one for liquids and one for powder. It's sooooooooooooooo soft. If you can...get one...or better yet...like me...get two! Before the take them off! They are part of a studio line which right now is permanent but I'm not taking any chances, when I get some extra money I might just buy 2 back ups...I mean...they're only $3.00 each!

Then there's the Elf Blending Brush which is actually part of their regular $1.00 line. If I get more studio powder brushes then I'm definitely going to pick up a few more of these too! Love it!

Last thing wins my Holy Grail Product of the Month Award!

The Jheri Redding One N' Only Thermal Ionic Permanent Straightener! I bought this in the end of December and did it at home. It's basically a thermal permanent straightner, also known as Ionic straighteners, thermal reconstructing, thermal reconditioning, and japanese straightening. I know they are supposed to be done at salons but I would have had to pay around $400 to $1000 dollars depending on the salon to get it done....

I did it for.....

$26 dollars! :))

I used to take me around 40 minutes to a hour to completely straighten my hair (I have naturally coarse frizzy curly hair) from when I jumped out of the shower and it was such a hassle.

Now it only takes me around 15-20 minutes to do my hair...blow drying and all.

It didn't damage my hair at all and my hair is even like not frizzy when I let it air dry.

When It air drys it's just a little sorta frizzy with waves in it. But still pretty great if I just wanted to run out of the house to pick up some makeup or go to the grocery store or something. So yeah! If you have really curly unmanageable hair then check it out...I got mine online from:

Anyways that's it, sorry for the extra long post!

January favorites, Over & Out.

elf products, make me smile. :)

I finally ordered my elf products yesterday and they just got shipped out! YAYY! So, here are the things that I ordered.

So, first I ordered a concealer brush from their regular line. I got this because I don't actually own any concealer brushes yet...haha. I'm late on the brush bandwagon. It was $1.00.

 

Then I got the blending brush from their regular line because I only own 1 blending brush and it's horrible. I've heard sooo many good things about this, so I figured I'd try it out. It was $1.00.

I also ordered a liquid eyeliner from elf. This one is called Stardust and it's a clear iridescent liner with glitter in it. I just wanted to try it out because I've been wanting a glitter liner lately. It was also $1.00.

Of course I HAD to get something from their studio line. So, I got the eyebrow kit in light because one, I don't have any gels or powders for my eyebrows, I only have my eyebrow pencil which isn't that great, and two, the packaging on these things intrigue me....NARS, anyone? This was $3.00.

So...as you probably have heard by now..the elf studio line brushes are supposed to be magical...especially this studio powder brush. It's a flat top brush that's supposed to be comparable to the MAC 187 (I think). So I actually picked up 2 of these because I've heard sooo many goods things about it. So..I got one for my liquid foundation and I got one for my setting powder, blush, bronzer and basically all my powder things. So each one was $3.00 and I got two...so I paid $6.00.

So I spent $12.00 and then instead of paying 7 extra dollars for shipping, I got a coupon code "EH198SHIP" that ends the 31st and I used it to get $1.98 shipping...it basically deducted 4 dollars. My grand total was then $13.98. So...I'm ordering more things tonight...and then going shopping soon...so expect a giant haul post coming in the next week or two. :)

show and tell, over & out.

Sincerely,

yourpoindexterkid.
