I got this collection from Nordstrom Rack for $15 and since I wanted to get the Lorac Pro, thought I might start with this set to test their shadows first. It includes a little bag, quad, bronzer and lip gloss. All four shadows have shimmer in them but Fierce and Panthera are more frosty which makes them ideal as highlights while Tigris and...
I exchanged my Stila In the Light palette to this very pretty nudes-and-purples In the Moment version. I thought In the Light was really pretty but I wanted more colors to play with and this palette was just perfect! I like that it has a good mix of purples for pop of color and neutrals for a basic nude look. ...
Wow, feels like Mr. J and I have been shopping non-stop the past couple of weeks. He's going back to school so he needed new supplies, clothes and shoes while I am in this make-up phase. Anyhoo, I decided to get some new face brushes: Real Techniques' Powder, Blush and Expert Face brushes. They are so soft! I've been holding off on getting...
I'm using my bareMinerals for about a week now and it's definitely a rediscovered love. I bought a starter kit in 2006 (I believe) and I remember liking it back then. I didn't have any problems with the brushes in my old kit but this new one is seriously SUPER SCRATCHY and makes my face feel like it's swelled up! NOT GOOD. I...
I wanted a new bag for work so I went to Ross to get a really cheap bag (like a regular cloth tote with zippers) but then I saw this blush colored bag from Steve Madden and I forgot what I was there for. LOL! Also, it was deeply discounted for around $36. I love the color scheme on it of blush, cream,...
How did I not know that Netflix streams Korean dramas? All this time I've been trying to watch on my laptop and android (I bought a phone-to-tv cable just for this) when I can enjoy it on tv?! Holycamolysmokes! Anyway, I started watching Protect the Boss which is a romantic comedy I always read people rave about. I'm only on episode 3 but...
Yeah, I just felt like doing a separate post for this palette. ...
So I went to Ulta for the first time yesterday. They were doing a BOGO50% on Real Techniques brushes but the store didn't have the ones I wanted. Bummer! I ended up getting some other goodies: BareMinerals Try. Believe. Love. Kit I got another set since I had to return the kit I got from Sephora (I had the Golden Tan, too orange...
Mr. J and I went out last night to get some groceries and since they were still doing the $3 off Revlon promo, I picked up a bottle of Nearly Naked. I chose 150 Nude based on research online (I love wifi! Internet while shopping! LOL!). Here's how it looks in natural bright light. I can tell you that it evened out my...
I cleaned out my makeup stash last week and I decided to keep this two liquid foundations. The rest of the foundations I parted with were all too dark on me. I guess I'm fairer than I take myself to be. elf Flawless Finish Foundation SPF 15 - The shade I have is Sand and it seems to be a perfect match. I...
When I first got this palette (cheapie for $5!), I was really excited. After playing with it, I found that most of the shadows are really chalky and powdery and not very pigmented so you lose color payoff once you start blending. You really get what you pay for. I will probably depot the most pigmented ones and chuck the palette away. LOL!...
Sporadically updates this blog. Cheers!
