My August Favorites


So its that time of the month! ;) These are the items I use on a daily basis.
1. Versace Bright Crystal- I've had this for almost a year. I started using it again a few weeks ago. I love this smell, I'm not good at explaining scents but its a good soft smell. ;)

2.E.L.F. Powder Brush- I have multiple uses for this brush. I like to apply bronzer, powder, then I like to buff all the powder products in with it. It's a great brush!

3. Urban Decay Naked Palette- This is a great everyday palette.

4. Fekkai Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo/Conditioner- I received a couple o samples of these with a walmart purchase and with the first one I used I could see a big change in my hair. It almost felt silky smooth. Sadly, its $20-something a bottle, and this is my last sample :( but I think its worth it. I will be buying it.

5. e.l.f. Essential Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara- For just $1 it does what it's suppose to. It leaves my eyebrows a bit hard but I don't mind as long as it keep them in place.

6. e.l.f. Beauty School Blush & Bronzer Palette- I have everything I need in one palette. It has two pinks a lighter and darker one but both are very wearable. It also comes with a bronzer and a highlight.

7. e.l.f. Blush in Pink Passion- If for some reason I can't find my Beauty School palette then I reach for this and vice versa. It a super bright pink, but if you blended well then its very wearable as well.

8. e.l.f. Zit Zapper- I don't get zits very often but I got one a few weeks back. The kind that take a long time to show but are very painful. I used this right away and the next day I had nothing. I was impressed!

9. e.l.f. Smugde Brush- I like to use this for my lower lashline and also to apply shadow as liner on my lid.

Small KleanColor Haul

I got these polishes yesterday because I don't have anything like this in my collection.
Mystic Grass is a beautiful green. Dolly girl was pretty much shouting "take me with you!" lol. It just your basic purple glitter polish. With fall almost here, Brown is perfect. The name is a bit off because its more of a burnt orange.  
Let me know what you think...

Change of color...

Hey guys! So like I've said before I've dyed my hair red for a very long time, and I'm over it. I've tried everything, but the red won't go away. A cousin and someone on luuux, advised me to dye it a cool brown. I was told the red would come back, the I just needed to repeat the process until my hair retained the color. That is why I decided to go with a semi-permanent dye (it's less damaging). Though its darker than the box, I love it because I was tired of the red. It's a good change for me.  Let me know what you think... 




 This is what was inside the box

 It came with two sets of gloves. One for my first application and the second one for my next application in two weeks. 

 Waiting for 10 minutes in style ;)

 This is what my hair looked like straight out of the shower

 Before

After

I still have some red spots, which are not extremely visible, because one box wasn't enough. So I'm hoping that when I do my 2nd week application, I will get some of that red.

Small Walmart Haul

Hey guys! These are a couple of items I picked up from Walmart.

*Clairol Natural Instincts in medium brown- I've had red hair for a long time and by long I mean years lol, so my cousin and someone on luuux(who are both hair stylists) advised me to dye it a cool brown. Lets see how long it turns out.

*Hard Candy nail polish in beetle- I found out about this polish a few months back so I finally decided to get it.

*Biore Steam Activated Cleanser- I'm running out of my other face wash and since I haven't found a face wash I can't live without I decided to give this a try.

Eye Look ft. UD 15th Anniversary Palette


Hey guys! This is a look I created using the UD 15th Anniversary palette which has beautiful colors. The pictures don't do these colors justice because they are BRIGHT!
I used 'Deep End' on the lid and 'Midnight Rodeo' on the crease. I added a bit of 'M.I.A.' on the outer corner to deepen it up a bit. Then I added 'Midnight 15' on the inner corner. I used 'Evidence' on the outer crease and lower lashline. And last but not least 'Vanilla' as a brow highlight.
Let me know what you think...

***Please excuse my eyebrows. I'm trying to grow them out. It will be a long hard process :(

NOTD: Purples


Hey guys! I was gonna paint my nails with one of the new polishes I purchased recently but today I decided to organize my nail polishes and suddenly I started finding polishes I didn't even know I had.
This light purple, my sister in law gave to me. It has no name all I know is that it was made in mexico lol but its a beautiful color nonetheless. :) I used Nabi's True purple to make different patterns on my index and ring finger, and a little purple rhinestone on my pinky. Let me know what you think...
