Wish List

I have been eying NARS the Multiple. I'm so obsessed over something I don't own in my collection : ) . I saw it in Sephora but it couldn't commit to paying $37 at the time. One day I will have you haha. The problem is that I want it in every color.So I love getting my eyebrows threaded because I had a tramatizing experience with wax : ( . My eyebrows have started growing back in but i need to touch them up. Im too scared to pluck them so I want to buy the touch up razors. Ill probably go to Ulta.

I also want to try some brow gel to get my eyebrows on point.
I have tried the whole black eyeliner thing. I dont know if its me but i think i look like a racoon haha. But I thought about getting Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Electric. Of course I love the other shades of blue, green, and purple. I would love to have them all!


Last but not least, I have been trying to find the perfect red lipcolor. I played around with my grandma's red lipstick and purple pigment I already had. I got this look:


Im also wearing my MAC Mineralize Blush in Love Thing, Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC50, Select Moisturecover in NW50, and Select Sheer/Loose Powder in NC45.

MAC/Almay Mini Haul

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I decided to return the Studio Fix Foundation/Powder. I got Select Sheer/Loose Powder instead in NC45. I have only tried it a couple of times so I don't have any opinions on it. The sifter can get messy if your not careful.

You wouldn't believe the deal I found when I went to Big Lots with my mom. Almay lipstick and lipgloss for $2 each. Since I have always wanted to experiment with lipstick, I bought 2 items. The lipstick is sheer so its good for those who don't want to commit to a bold color. Its feels so good on my lips. I just keep rubbing it across my lips like a weirdo lol but you have to understand how soft it made my lips.
This is Almay Ideal Lipcolor in Rasberry. I looks and feels like a tinted chap stick. I have always hated the drying effects of regular lipstick. I looked on the Almay website and I found out that this lipstick is formulated with nourishing vitamin E, aloe, cushiony coconut oil and refreshing peppermint. Ummm! Its also semi sheer. I need to look into semi sheer lipstick!
I also bought Almay Ideal Gloss in Amethyst Glimmer. Beautiful shade! I just wish it smelled and tasted good. Lol Is that kind of juvenile? I dont know but I love when lipglosses either smell or taste like a flavor.

MAC/Sephora Haul

So Ive been in need of new MAC products because I been trying out drug store brand products. I never seem to pick out the right color concealer or foundation color : (. I decided to let the experts help me out.

I love the Studio Sculpt Foundation. I have it in NC50.

I think it gives me an airy natural look. Ive tried it by itself and with lotion. I love using the 188 Brush to blend it out. I wanted the 187 but to save money I settled for the 188 (I can use it for blush application so its a plus). No regrets.
Prior to any foundation application, I applied Photo Finish Light Primer. I got it from Sephora along with the Urban Decay Primer Potion that everyone is raving about.

Both products are amazing. My skin feels incredibly smooth and becomes a great base for application as it claims to be. Ive always dreaded eyeshadow creasing, its a nightmare! I was sooo excited when indeed my eyeshadow didn't crease. Another miracle product! Many people swear by it and I know why. So I also got concealer in NW50. I apply it with the 224 Brush. Also amazing. I wanted a lighter concealer but the artist convinced me to pick that shade. We will see!
Ive been into contouring lately so I was recommended Studio Fix Foundation/Powder in NW50. I also bought Mineralize Blush in Love Thing. Love Love Love it! I'm disappointed with the Studio Fix. I'm not sure if its because I don't know how to apply the product. Either I don't notice the difference or it doesn't blend very well over my foundation and looks like a huge dark streak. No in between. I'm frustrated! Im going to try and get my money back or swap it for something else.
I forgot how oily my skin gets with foundation on. I need to find a solution for that. I bought the light photo finish primer so there would be no extra oil to my face but my Tzone (especially my nose) gets terribly oily after a couple hours. I thought about getting blotting paper or the Prep + Prime Finishing Powder. Something has got to give since summer is approaching.
