Not fresh...

Taken last week... MU not looking as fresh and no lippie since it was the end of the day.

SK haul...

What do you do when you can't afford all the MAC you want? You go to Target and stock up on SK! That's right Sonia Kashuk!
Along with that, I got the SK blending Sponge & a brush roller. I love the SK blending sponge ($9.99). It works very well at blending my concealer and hiding your flaws and it also works great for liquid foundation too.
I bought the SK holiday gold set and I love it! I love the sleek handles and the case that came with it! It was super cheap too so I can't complain. It came with 7 brushes but don't know where the powder brush went. L to R: crease/blending brush, small eye shadow brush, concealer brush, smudger brush, angled eyeshadow brush & brown brush/comb. This set was only $19.99 which I think is a very good price for the quality and quantity.
SK flat top blusher brush ($14.99): This brush feels so soft but I have yet to find a use for it. The bristle is very dense but honestly, I think it's a little too long. When I tried using this brush, the bristles just kind of bends and it doesn't go where I want it to. Unless you are looking for full coverage, I wouldn't use this brush.

SK white handle crease brush ($6.99 or $7.99 - can't remember for sure). In the picture above, I can comparing it to the gold handle one I got in the SK holiday set. I like the white handle one more as it is not as big as the gold handle one so it works with my crease alot better. The gold one is a tad big for my eyes. The white handle one is comparable to the MAC 217, a very close dupe.
Yours truly!

CS haul...

Very nice and sleek packaging... The black plastic palette case looks exactly like the box.

I purchased the matte & shimmer palette! Exactly the same colors in the same order, one is just matte and the other is shimmer!

The concealer & blush palette! I really love the blush palette. The colors are very pigmented and all the colors are beautiful. Even the funky coral color! The concealer palette is okay. Most of the color will be a waste though!
Here's a swatch of the concealer palette!

Addition?!?

I am itching to cop that Botkier bag, it's not that expensive and they are also having a pretty good sale on some of their nylon bags, if anyone is interested! I been saving for the LV Bowling Montaigne GM in Cassis! I just love the LV Epi collection! I also love the LV Alma MM in Pomme D'Amour too! That's a pretty expensive piece though! My collection of handbags is definitely itching for a new addition though, well, I like to tell myself that! The hubby definitely disagrees though! Hahaha! He did say that I can get a new bag when we go on vaca in August to Hawaii though but I much rather have one now and one then! Hahaha! :)

My newest look!

My newest look! J.Lo inspired bangs and rockin' my new glasses! My everyday look, not much makeup cause I am usually too lazy in the morning! Hahaha :)

NYX swatches!!

I know, FINALLY! Sorry but it's alot of colors! 43 to be exact!

DISCLAIMER: First time ever doing swatches so please forgive me and I'm not that good with my sister's camera... So some of the colors may not look their best! Also, I am comparing some colors to MAC colors but only the ones I know of and or own... May not be the best comparision.

Product review: Hot Tools 1" Professional Spring Curling Iron

Last week I purchased a Hot Tools 1" Professional Spring Curling Iron from Folica and it arrived this past Tuesday. I had food poisoning yesterday so couldn't do a review. Today, I got to play around with is a little and here are the results.

I curled my sister's hair! I didn't have much time so I kind of rushed through it! She has pretty thick hair and we didn't put any products in her hair. The temperature was at 5 and the curls stayed in pretty well.

I think that this is a very good curling iron for the price. It heats up really fast, 30 seconds to a minute and it's piping hot. It has a on and off switch and dial for heat temperature (1-10). The cord is pretty long and the end has a swivel so the cord doesn't get all tangled. I am very satisfied with this product and would order it again. Also, you can't beat the price...
