Best of 2012!

Hey guys! So, since 2012 is over, I figured I'd do a best of 2012 post! I couldn't choose just 12 products of course... Anyways; this was my first year of blogging and I'm so happy to have another year to connect with more beauty lovers and discover new products! I wonder what will happen by the time I'm writing my Best of 2013 post! Exciting things to think about. Anyways, on to the post!

Dupes: Urban Decay vs. Wet n Wild

Hey guys! Today I have my first ever post about dupes. These are two dupes of urban decay eyeshadows that I found in Wet n Wild's shadows. I don't really know if any of these are like well known, but I figured I'd post them,

Top: Wet n Wild's Definer Shade from Comfort Zone Palette

Bottom: Urban Decay's Darkhorse

First up is Urban Decay's Darkhorse. This picture is from my feminine palette but it's also in the Naked Palette. I found my dupe in a wet n wild palette.

Differences: Darkhorse goes on smoother and is easier to work with, and is slightly cooler.

Top: Wet n Wild's Eyelid Shade from Walking On Eggshells Trio

Bottom: Urban Decay's Sin

The next dupe is Urban Decay's Sin. I found it in the Walking On Eggshells Wet n Wild trio. Although the wet n wild shade is a bit more peachy, they're still very similar.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Also, filmed a full face holiday tutorial for my channel :) I would love feedback, so check it out if you have time! Click here to see it :)

Wet n Wild Review: I'm Getting Sunburned Trio

Hey guys! Quick review today. This is a wet n wild trio in "I'm Getting Sunburned" Wet n Wild is an extremely affordable great quality brand you can find at CVS, Walgreens, and sometimes Walmart. These trio's can range from $2.29 to $3. As you can see, they're pretty decent quality, but I never really use this trio. The golden bronze is too shimmery, the brown is too dark, and pink just isn't a common color used. Overall, it's a pretty trio with pretty colors with decent pigmentation, but it's not something you'd get a lot of use out of.

Wet n Wild Lipstick Review ♥ Blushing Bali

Another lipstick review! This lipstick is by Wet n Wild and is called Blushing Bali.

It's a pretty warm berry color that's lovely for fall. The best part is, it's only $1!

Overall Opinion: This lipstick applies nicely and is very affordable. Like many other lipsticks, staying power isn't great. However, it's definitely worth the dollar.

Fall Eyeshadow Picks ♥

Hey guys! So out of my eyeshadow, these are my favorites to use in the fall time! I'm still working on my makeup collection and buying more and everything, so I had a limited amount to choose from, but these are the top dogs! I'm hoping soon I'll be going to buy some makeup when I get my allowance because I really want to do some hauls and reviews! Anyways, on to the post!

First, the naked  palette. Of course this is in here! It has the perfect range of light to dark colors, so you can go smokey for fall or keep it natural! Next is the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette. This has amazing pigmentation and is only $5, a definite must have! It has greens and browns so it's perfect for fall!Last is this quad by covergirl in "Pure Romance" It has nice pink and taupe colors which I think is a nice change for fall rather than just smokey browns!

Eyeshadow Look: Comfort Zone

Hey guys! So I have a quick eyeshadow look for you today. 

Using my comfort zone palette from Wet n Wild, I took the left browbone shade on my inner half, and then put the left eyelid shade on my outer half. I really love the warmth and rosy bronze look the eyeshadow has. These colors are great for enhancing blue eyes. 

The wet n wild comfort zone palette can be found at Walmart, K-Mart, CVS, and a few other places for around $5. It's a great deal!

Eyeshadow Look: Smokey Green

 Hey guys! So today I have an eyeshadow look that's a bit out of the ordinary for me. Usually I stick to natural eyelooks that have absolutely no darkness to them, but I wanted to experiment with my Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette (shown at the bottom), and this is the look I got!

I used the left browbone shade on the inner 1/3, the left eyelid shade on the outer 2/3, the crease shade in the crease, the left eyelid shade to blend that out, and a little bit of the left definer in the outer corner.

Then I used my urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in zero on my waterline and upper lashline, and used my mega plush mascara.

Products I Don't Use Enough

Before I get to the post, I have some news to share!

I just posted my first video now. I'm so excited!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys! So I wiped my hard drive and now the virus is gone, so I'm back to blogging now! This post is about products I don't use enough, meaning they're great products, but I rarely use them.

 Revlon Lip Butters: Strawberry Shortcake, Frutti Tutti
*I love the formula of these products, but the colors don't work for me. I'll have to try different colors.
NYX: Liquid Crystal Liner
*This is so easy to apply because it's not as intense as black where you notice every mistake, but I don't wear glitter on my eyes often, so that's why it's in this post.
Maybelline Color Tattoo: Tough as Taupe
*as you all have probably heard, this is an amazing cream eyeshadow, but I don't find uses for it because it's so dark and I don't know, I really never use it. Ever. It's too dark for all over your lid but it's difficult to use it in specific areas.
Wet n Wild Trio: I'm Getting Sunburned
These colors are gorgeous and pigmented, I just need to figure out how I want to use them.

Walking On Eggshells

Recently I picked up this Wet n Wild Trio in Walking on Eggshells, which is extremely popular around the beauty community. It was $2.69 at Giant. It comes with 3 eyeshadows that tell you exactly where they go. emilynoel83 on youtube (Beauty Broadcast) Talking about all three of these colors being dupes for mac eyeshadows!

This is perfect for everyday, school, work, whatever you do on a daily basis because it's pretty natural and easy and quick.

I took the eyelid shade and put it all over my lid and then fluffed the crease shade into my crease. I put a tiny bit of the browbone shade on my inner corner.

 I really love these eyeshadows, they're extremely pigmented and have an amazing price. Definitely my favorite drugstore eyeshadow brand!

July Favorites

So I'm finally back! I got my camera early, actually I got it today, and I was so excited I decided I had to do a post immediately! So I decided on july favorites!

Walking on Eggshells Wet n Wild Trio: This is amazing for an everyday look and the eyeshadows are so pigmented and easy to work with. I'm in love!

ULTA Tinted Lip Balm in Sweet: This looks so pretty on the lips, it's a light pink with sparkle and it's very sheer but gives your lips the prettiest sheen!

elf Nail Polish in Champagne: This color is the prettiest light pink that's perfect for everyday.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition 3 Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment: This makes my hair soo smooth, but it can be extremely nourishing, so using it on the roots can make you a bit oily. I love to use it on my tips to keep them healthy!

Tresemme Tres Gel: This gel works really nice, I bought a travel size for the beach because I needed something to scrunch with, and I really love it!

Products I Regret Buying

So today I'm doing a post about products I regret buying. These are products I definitely wouldn't repurchase. I do have a lot of things I regret buying, but I felt like they all needed to be included. These range from nail polishes, to makeup, and a hair product. I'll put why I won't repurchase them also.

ULTA Nail Polish in Peach Parfait: too streaky

Funky Fingers Nail Polishes: streaky, messy, terrible quality

L.A. Colors Shimmering Loose Eyeshadow: inconvenient packaging, hard to get to the product, the brush it comes with gets smashed and messed up

Covergirl Lipstick in Sugar Almond: too much shimmer, shows the lines in your lips 

NYX Lipstick in Vitamin: too much sparkle

Wet N Wild Lipgloss in Cherish: basically pure shimmer

aussie anti-frizz cream: didn't do anything

Maybelline ultra liner waterproof: I don't like the brush, crumbles when you wear it too long and gets stuck in your eyelashes

elf liquid liner in silver: too liquidy, doesn't apply well

NYC pencil liner: hard to get any color on your waterline, too waxy not creamy enough

elf clarifying pressed powder in ivory: too powdery, too much fall-out, makes you look cakey, you can see the powder on your face

ULTA extreme wear cream eyeshadow in Creme Puff: I have one of these in tiramisu cream that I love, but this one doesn't have as much pigmentation and is hard to find uses for. It's light pink in the packaging but turns to a extremely sheer white shimmery color.

elf duo cream eyeshadow in butter pecan: barely any pigmentation, feels sort of greasy

covergirl quad in pure romance: don't use it much, pigmentation isn't great, shadows aren't easy to work with

revlon quad in neutral khaki's: pigmentation isn't great, lots of fallout when used to much, kind of powdery and messy

elf stipple brush: bristles aren't dense at all

So those are all of the products I regret buying, keep in mind a lot of them were inexpensive, and that's really what you could expect out of some of the products. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this post!
