Benefit Lipglosses for the win!


Heya, so now that the contest is over I guess i can go back into the shape of things. :) Speaking of wich, Gia... Perez? Where you at? D:

Anyhoo, someone I wanted to share with you, my all time favorite lip glosses at the moment...

The, 'Her glossiness' Lip glosses by Benefit. What can I say, I LOVE benefit, though it is VERY pricey, defiantly not something i enjoy to splurge on since its so expensive, but I cant help it, I have a weakness when it comes to these lip glosses.

They are so smooooth! I mean, for 1 coat they are really sheer (so I like to get fun dark colors) and then, if you do a few coats, they become more and more opac! I love it when products do that, it gives it more fun, and more idk, I just like it! xD

Coming from someone who most of the time only wears MAC lip glasses...
I have a new love...

Anyway what is YOUR favorite lip gloss brand?

Cheap Thrills: Wet n' Wild Deadly Sins eyeshadow palettes

I'm a big fan of drugstore make-up, I love brands like Maybelline, Cover Girl, and lately even Wet n' Wild! I had avoided it for a long time because a few things I had tried had been cheap not just in price but also in quality, but lately they've really been stepping up the quality of their products. My recent favorite has been their deadly sins eyeshadow palettes. There are four, and they're named after the sins Greed, Pride, Lust, and Vanity. The quality of these eyeshadows is comparable to MAC and Nars shadows, in fact I found a few color dupes for both high-end brands in my Wet n' Wild Lust palette:

Lust
Top Left Shadow Dupe = MAC's Yogurt
2nd Left Shadow Dupe = MAC's Fig. 1, Nars "Electric Aubergine" from the Eurydice eyeshadow duo
3rd Left Shadow Dupe = MAC's Blackberry

Top Right Shadow Dupe = MAC's Vanilla
2nd Right Shadow Dupe = MAC's Silvering, Nars "Graphite" from the Eurydice eyeshadow duo
3rd Right Shadow Dupe = MAC's Beauty Marked (this one is similar, but Beauty Marked is definitely more pigmented and the glitter is a lot more noticable in it once swatched)

All of these, with the exception of the one that resembles Beauty Marked, are practically identical to the more expensive version. In fact, the one that resembles Blackberry is actually smoother and easier to blend than Blackberry is.

MAC eyeshadows are $14.50 each, and the NARS eyeshadow duos are $33.00 each ($23.00 for the single eyeshadows). I got these Wet n' Wild eyeshadow palettes for $3.99 each on sale at Target! That's 4 bucks for six high quality eyeshadows, less than a third of the cost of ONE single MAC or NARS shadow! Not on sale they're about 5 or 6 dollars each, depending on where you get them, which is still a crazypants bargain. If you're just starting out with make-up, and you don't have a lot of money to spend, these are the best palettes you can get. I want all four, right now I'm missing Greed =/. Let me know if you want me to post dupes for Pride or Vanity!

What drugstore beauty product do you think is actually better than the more expensive brands'?

Top 3 blushes!

Hi girls, so I wanted to do a really quick post on blushes! I think blush can change a whole look of your makeup, blushes define your face and really finish off your makeup! I think they are so important and we shouldn't forget about them! I just wanna share one tip...
 ~ People who have a slim face should wear blush focusing on the apples of their cheeks, and people with full faces should concentrate it under the cheekbones. These give different effects to the different faces!

            Apple of the cheeks  ~  Underneath the cheekbones
(im not very good at putting it on the apples lol)

    NARS's blush in Orgasm is the most gorgeous blush ever! I love it, it does contain shimmer.. well alot of shimmer! But if you use it correctly it can look super gorgeous! I think this would only work on people who are young, once you are not so much in your teens, it can look too sparkly and cheap, but depending on how you use it, its great!

     Powder Blush

    MAC's blush in Pinch Me, is my favorite blush of all time! Its so soft (like most MAC blushes) and it looks so natural, its very matte (no shimmer or sheen) and looks perfect on most skin tones! The name is so cute, because before blushes girls use to pinch their cheeks, so I guess its meant to look as natural as a pinch! :)


    Maybelline's Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin, is really great if you don't want to look to powdery I know when I wear powder foundation it call all look too cakey, so using a cream (mouse) blush is really great for those natural looks. Its pretty cheap too.

    Comment below! Its so easy, and it makes my day! :)
