May Faves

Sorry for the late faves, but i have just been out and enjoying the weather and all the good things summer has to offer :) I dont have many things because i dont like to use a lot during summer, its too hot and summer is kinda like a "natural" season i guess, where folks just like to keep it simple.

Here is a stila e/s i have been ALL over, its such a perfect summer bronze color, i just use this as my lid color and its a perfect touch of bronziness on my eyes. I have no idea what the name is because i got it in a swap and i sanitize all my products inside and out. So i was rubbing it with alcohol and all of the black writing on the bottom faded away. First i thought it was just dirty until i noticed it all fade away :(

Next up is my blonde MSF, perfect touch of shimmerness for the summer, gives a nice glow. I use it as my highlighter and apply it on top of my cheek bones, and sumtimes i just use it all over my face :)

This is the new popular limited edition Revlon gloss called lilac pastelle. It looks amazing and its such a rare lipgloss color i think, cuz i havent seen any that look like this. This is also very very similar to MAC's lavener whip lipstick. Its like the same lipstick in a lip gloss. So if you're into this color or lavender whip, you should check this out. Got it at Target for $5.69.

And last is the famous NARS sheer glow. Sucks that it doesnt have a pump ( boo!) I got this in the shade ceylan but its too light for me in the summer since im 72 shades darker. It honestly isn't a MAGICAL foundation that everyone claimes it to be. Its a normal foundation with decent coverage. Since its too light i like to apply bronzer over it and it makes it look great :) Oh yea and thats a tip for someone that has a foundation too light for their summer skin. Apply bronzer over it and voila! You will be surprised how many people dont think of this tip, yet its so simple.

Here is the foundation blended in. Looks good but it definitely isnt dark enough for my face.

The rest of my faves are self explanitory. Been using my fix+ everytime after i apply my foundation. I hate spraying things on my face so i always use my sigma ss150 for this. I spray my fix+ on to the brush and stiple all over my face and lightly blend the into my skin. It sets my make up, helps it last longer, refreshes my face, gets rid of cakiness and makes my face look natural. And the perfume i been in love with recently! I originally wanted Jessica Simpson's Fancy perfume, but this one is Fancy Love and omg i love it!! I have never smelled sumthing like it before, its very unique yet very gentle. Smells like baby powder in a way, its soft but not too soft, it just smells amazing to me, i love it! Yay another wishlist item :)

The many uses of MAC Fix+

I purchased my first ever MAC fix+ from a CCO about a month ago and i love it! Mine is teh fix+ rose which is limited edition and can only be found in some CCO's, the regular one is permanent at any MAC store.

The Uses :

I use this to freshen up my face if it gets too hot or humid out.

I use it after i apply my powder or foundation to make my face look more natural not cakey or powdery.

I love using it with my pigments or shadows that can be used wet, i dunno if all shadows can be used wet.

It is also a setting spray, so when you're done with your make up you spray this on to set your make up so that it doesnt run down on a hot day, that it holds everything in place and to make your make up last longer.

With the great ingredients in this product, when you refresh your face it also soothes and relieves sunburn!

It can be used as a moisturizing toner, after you remove your make up.

It can also be used as an after shave spray. After you shave any area you spray this on to sooth the area and relieve some redness.

This can also be used with shadows if you want to use them as liners on your top or bottom lid.

And lastly, it can also be used for a dry scalp or if you want to refresh your hair, just spray and style as you want.

So i picked out my 3 favorite pigments and put them through a test to really see a difference in how they apply.

And here are the swatches of the results, obviously the left side is with no fix+ and the right side is. The color is so much more vibrant, and im sure with a base it would look even better, so i look forward to putting my fix+ to good use. I hope some tips of using the fix+ will be helpful to you guys!

Victorias Secret Limited Edition Safari Chic e/s

I recently stopped by VS to check out if they had anything good in their make up section. I dont own any VS makeup, it never really interested me. But i love their body sprays and "other" things :) I picked up this quad/ palette, whatever you wanna call it. I LOVE purples so of course i took this one. They had another one with green and blue colors. This one is called Safari Chic, runs for $15.00.

The packaging is so safarish, reminded me of MAC style varriors packaging and their jungle theme.

The compact is gold, looks kinda cheesy and cheap but whatever, i liked the colors.

It says on the back that these are mineral shadows. I just loved the purples!!!

And here are some swatches! They might not look super duper pigmented but with a base im sure they will look amazing! This is limited edition, so if you want one pick it up, otherwise it will be too late :(

Awesome drugstore finds

I have been meaning to do this post for a while now so i finally got around to doing it now after i have accumulated the right products. And also i have noticed lots of videos on youtube lately have been about top 10 drugstore products, or drugstore items under $10 and so i wanted to share my ideas with you guys as well :)

First off is the ever so famous St.Ives scrub. I LOVE this scrub, i use it in the morning and i love the citrus smell it wakes me right up and it feels so fresh. It makes my face super smooth and its like under $3 at Target!

This next product i have been really iffy about. When i first heard about it, i was like omg i want it. But after doing some research and reading reviews, lots of people were so so, either they loved it or hate it. So i just went and bought it to see for myself and i loved it! What pursuaded me to buy it even more was the little scrub thing that comes along with it. I feel so refreshed and extra clean when i use it, it feels like it gives you a deeper cleaning. And now im always excited to wash my face with this, and it doesnt feel like a boring routine like it was before :)

Wow i had no idea a thing called dry shampoo even existed. After watching some videos on youtube, so many people recommend this Tresemme dry shampoo. First i thought it was a shampoo for oily hair, because my hair gets oily by like the second day already and i hate it. After purchasing this, i realized its like a hairspray which is pretty cool. Whenever your hair is oily, spray this on, leave in for like 1 -2 mins and just comb it through or rub between your hair, mainly scalp area since thats where the oil is and voila! Your hair looks non-oily/greasy and it styles a lot better with this spray as well which is an awesome bonus!

I have been wanting tweezerman tweezers for a LONG time now, but wasn't really sure if i wanted to fork out $20 for a pair of tweezers. The more reviews i read and heard, the more i wanted them. So i go to Target and i didnt even know they sold tweezerman there, i found a pair of smaller ones than the regular huge ones. This doesnt bother me since they still get the job done and they were $12! I was like SCORE! Of course i grabbed the pink ones and ran home to do my brows. WOW, have i been missing out. This little sucker will pull out every little speck of hair you want out. You also know that these tweezers are awesome since they have a lifetime guarantee and they sharpen it for you as well. You have to send it to the company(they give you the address on the package of the tweezers) and they will sharpen, repair, replace for free :)

I have so been wanting to try the NARS Sheer Glow foundation that everyone has been raving about. Well, a lot of people also said that this Neutrogena foundation is like an exact dupe for it. Of course i did my research and lots of people had mixed feelings about it. Again, i wanted to see for myself and i bought it in 50 soft beige. Man, this is an AWESOME drugstore foundation! I have tried many and its even better than some of the high end ones too. I have tried the Revlon colorstay, photoready, rimmel matte, MUFE HD, YSL matt touch, BE powder foundation and this beats them all! Well, at least for me, it doesnt look dry or cakey or streaky, it looks super flawless, very natural and it looks like i have amazing healthy skin!! Its $11.99 at Target.

Everyone loves pigmented and blendable shadows, and if you can find some quality ones at the drugstore then thats even better!! These are the maybelline eyestudio shadows in 30 purple icon. As you can see they are really pigmented and apply amazing!

I have also been wanting to try these revlon cream shadows and i finally did. They go on kinda sheer but you can build up the intensity, it might crease so use a good primer like UD UDPP. These also make a great base so your powder shadows look awesome. This would go great with the shadows about the maybelline eyestudio ones in 30 purple icon. ( cant u tell i love purples :))

This is a great eyebrow filler pencil. It wont look like you drew on your brows with a sharpie marker. This is great because some people just cant use a light hand while applying brow stuff, so even if you have a "heavy" hand, it will look natural. I would stay away from light brown shades since they do apply sheer and tend to look reddish/orangish in photos. I use the darkest one and it looks light brown.

These are some great eyebrushes from Target if you cant afford Sigma, MAC, or other brand brushes. The one on the top is a shadow brush, its also great for paint pots, or cream shadows, its not too hard or too soft, just right. And the bottom is the crease brush and also great for blending. Both are under $2!

Such a cute spring color i picked up from Target for like $0.94 or .97! Very pretty baby pink, complements lots of skintones.
