Check out My Stash

My Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencil Stash that is...I picked up this set last month at Sephora for $19.00.

Left to Right: Sin / Juju / Rehab / Delinquent / Clash

I tried them on my forever creasing lids and they hold up pretty good. Usually it takes seconds before my lids crease after applying a product (with no primer), but the UD 24/7 Shadow Liners last a while with no signs of creasing :)

Here's a closer look at each shadow pencil:

 Sin 

Juju

Rehab

Delinquent

Clash

I mainly got the set because I wanted Juju, Rehab, Sin and Delinquent; Clash really didn't get my attention and I haven't used it at all.

Delinquent is a gorgeous purple, but my problem with it is the bright purple shimmer...don't like it at all. I like to use Delinquent it on my lower lash-line/waterline and I use a purple eyeshadow on top to hide the shimmers (I use Inglot Eyeshadow Pearl 446).

I'm definitely getting more of the UD 24/7 Shadow Pencils, I already have my eye on Lit.

Have a great day!

Tutti Frutti Goodness

Hello!

So I finally got my hands on one of the Revlon Lip Butters,Tutti Frutti.

The packaging is beautiful, and the product itself is amazing! It feels sooo smooth on the lips, like buttha!

I am getting a bit addicted to this Lip Butter.

An now I'm on the hunt for more shades...

It's Always the Last One...

...Or so that's how it seems very often.

Hi Lovelies!
I've found myself saying "It was the last one!" almost every time when I'm looking for a specific article of makeup. 
One of the many times this happened was when looking for the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadows.

I bought Iced Latte on my first trip to ULTA.

Next I found Eternal Sunshine at WalMart

Then at Rite Aid I picked up Amber Rush

Lastly, I found Bronzed Taupe at Target

And all four shades I got were the last ones!...well, at least on display.

These are the only shades that I really wanted, but maybe I'll pick up Perpetual Purple.

What do you think of the L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadows?

Have a great day!

Hello There!!

Hi Lovelies!

Ahh long time no blog! It's been so long I don't even know where to start, but I guess I should start by showing some goodies I've gotten recently no? I haven't been posting as much as I would want to, but I've been taking tons of pics of stuff I've recently purchased.
I do want to tell you first that I've finally tried Inglot eyeshadows and I am in love!

An Inglot counter opened in San Diego (Fashion Valley Mall) towards the end of last year, I found out thanks to a tweet from Tina. I went along with a friend to go check it out the following weekend and we were both  amazed at all the selection they have. I have gotten some shades at the San Diego counter, but I recently took a trip to Las Vegas and visited their store and got a few more. I will share in another post all the shades I've gotten so far and maybe a bit of the trip as well.
After coming back from Vegas, I went for the first time to ULTA, I haven't gone before since it's a bit far from where I live, but I got a few goodies.

2 Real Techniques brushes that were BOGO 1/2 off, 2 NYX eye pencils (also BOGO 1/2 off) a L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Iced Latte and an EOS lip balm, which I've been looking for a while.
But before my trip, I found the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows, I picked up Bad to the Bronze and Bold Gold.

Lastly, I got the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencils, the set of 5 was $19.00, not bad!

Alrighty, I will show a bit more detailed of the stuff I got during the week.

Hope you have a wonderful day and start of the week!

Chasing Rabbits

Hi Lovelies!

Rabbits are so adorable, but it wasn't until I got mine that I started obsessing a bit and wanted to get stuff that resembled my bun. 
This post will be all about bunnies! well, bunny stuff I have...

I'm not clumsy I swear!

Hi Lovelies!

So I am in love with this nail combo: Sephora by O.P.I. Traffic Stopper Copper and Revlon Copper Penny.

I absolutely love these two nail polishes, but sadly there was an incident were Traffic Stopper Copper was involved...

I was taking pictures of my 3 glitter nail polishes, when all of the sudden this one decides to take a dive onto the kitchen floor...kinda. The background I use to take my pictures was not very stable and it started slipping, I was only able to save 2 out of the 3 nail polishes.
After a loud gasp and some curse words that I won't write here, I saw the mess on the kitchen floor and some on the carpet; luckily I was able to get it out the carpet with no stains.

Next stop Sephora to get a new one :p

Golden Goodness for Me

This is the first time I've worn gold nail polish (besides O.P.I.'s Only Gold for Me top coat). When I did a quick trip to CVS today, I saw that there was a BOGO 1/2 off Revlon nail polish, so without hesitating I grabbed Golden and Copper Penny.
Now that I think about it, I might pick up Traffic Stopper Copper by O.P.I. to do a copper version of this using Copper Penny.

Have a fabulous day!

More goodies!

Hi there!

I went to visit my local CCO on Sunday and brought me home some goodies!
When I walked in I immediately headed to the MAC section, but not without getting sidetracked by a Bobbi Brown product that I will mention at the end.
Anyway, I looked at paint pots and  the one that caught my attention was Let Me Pop, which was limited edition for the Cham-Pale collection last year.

Really don't know how to describe this shade, it's kinda light copper-ish with micro-shimmers (they seem like copper, silver a hint of gold)

Next up is my very first Clinique product, an eyeshadow duo "Posh Squash"

This duo has a peach and brown shade that complement each other so nicely.

Lastly, the product I was the most giddy about, and is my also very first Bobbi Brown product:
Behold! Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact "Copper Diamond"

It's a combination of shades that give an absolute beautiful glow. Of all the strips in the compact only the 4th one down looks the most coppery, the rest have more of a champagne-beige-bronze.
I can't seem to stop using it since I got it.

Have a fabulous day!

Pretty Pretty Paint Pots and Pigments

MAC Paint Pots and Pigments are pretty new to me, before when I went to a MAC store I would usually just swatch a few and that's it, I would immediately turn to pressed powder eyeshadows.

At first I hesitated committing into buying a full jar of pigment just because I thought that they would be such a mess to use and my somewhat clumsy self was afraid of dropping one and spilling all over.

But every time I would swatch pigments, specially Naked and Melon, it always left with me wanting to purchase them on the spot. But it took some time and lots and lots of thinking until I finally got them both and I am so glad I did.
Naked is a gorgeous nude with a subtle shimmer, I've used it as a lid color and highlight on my cheekbones.
Melon is peachy golden goodness in a jar, I absolutely love this pigment.

Next up is Paint pots

The first one I purchased was Rubenesque, a beautiful golden peach.

Nubile is the newest one I got when it came out with MAC's Posh Paradise collection. Before Nubile was released I was thinking of getting Painterly, which is a beige-nude, but as soon as I read the description of Nubile (peachy nude) I immediately was looking forward to get it.
Sure enough, I went to MAC, swatched it and loved it.

So now that I've gotten a chance to use pigments and paint pots, I am looking forward to getting another one on my list: Indianwood Paint Pot and maybe Pink Bronze Pigment.

One that I really really really want to see again is Coral Crepe, I keep hoping one day either I find it at a CCO or see it re-promoted.

My collection of pigments and paint pots is growing more and more along with my love for them.
