Mini Lipstick Haul and Review

Kate Moss: Rimmel

This lipstick is very very pigmented! Before I purchased this I had heard many people rave about this lipstick because of its affordable price and great color payoff. This lipstick can be a little drying, however most matte lipsticks are. This lipstick is called Rosetto. 

Arbon

My friend had actually given me this lipstick because her mom sells makeup, and I have previously told her before that I was looking for a dark and vampy lipstick color. This color is called Joy, and I absolutely love it. It goes on very smooth and it very pigmented.

Clinique

This is a lipstick that is like a my lips but better. It goes on kind of sheer, but I like how it looks very natural and not harsh at all. I'd say it would go for a day where I decided to make my eye makeup more dramatic than usual. This color is called All Heart.

Maybelline's: The Falsies (Waterproof)

The reason why I purchased this mascara is because my Lash Stiletto Mascara by Maybelline had dried out, and I figured it was due time I tried a new one!

This mascara has gotten many mixed reviews, varying from a great mascara to a not so great mascara. Along with holding volume, it makes my lashes thicker and longer. It may be because I have the waterproof version that it holds my curl, but like almost all mascaras, I need the waterproof version. The formula is not as thick as your usual mascaras, but it still adds a bit of thickness to the lashes. It also is very dark, so if you don't have the darkest lashes, this would be good to use.

Although it is not very visible in this picture, the brush is curved and has bristle brush. It does cause clumps, and the best technique would be just to apply it fast and not too many layers or else you will get a lot of clumps and lashes sticking together which is not a look which most people are looking for.

I like to use this mascara because it does hold the curl and it doesn't flake much. I don't think I will repurchase it, simply because I do like the Lash stiletto one better because it does not clump.  I do like the formula of the falsies mascara. Maybe if it were paired with a different brush, I would continue to purchase it.

Urban Decay Tinted Moisturizer Review

This tinted moisturizer with SPF of 20, is free radical fighting, light reflecting, and paraben free.

The biggest sell factor if this product is that it is paraben free. Paraben in products is used to increase shelf-life. It has alcoholic properties and prevents mold from forming. In the past years, it has been linked to breast cancer and fertility issues. 

The product itself has a nice dewy finish to it, and it is great for dry skin. It appears very smooth on ones face and also appears natural on the skin. There is not a lot of coverage, so a good concealer for spots would be a great investment for this product. However, I would not recommend this product to oily skin because it will cause more oil to appear on your face. 

A small of amount of this product will go a long way. As it evens one's skin tone it also proves to be very moisturizing. Although, it does have a sunscreen smell to it.

I would recommend for people with normal to dry skin who need light coverage.

Sperrys!

Finally got my sperrys! I had bought them at the Carlsbad Outlet in San Diego on the Fourth of July.

A lot of people don't know, but there are TONS of huge sales on the Fourth of July. So before all of the family parties, bbqs, and fireworks, it's best to check out shopping centers nearby for great deals!

Since it was an outlet and I fit in children sizes, I bought my shoes for about $50. The regular prices of Sperrys are around $100 and so it was awesome getting them for a fraction of the price.

I don't plan to wear them without socks, so I bought a load of no show socks simply because I have several shoes that require them, and they're more convenient.

They came in the mail about 3 days after I ordered the socks on ebay (they are cheaper and you can buy it in bulk) and there was a deal on them if you buy ten you get ten free.... and I went a little bit crazy and took the deal... 

I would show you guys a picture, however the picture I took wasn't great quality, so I feel you wouldn't get much out of it.

Review Waiting for Tonight NYX Palette

 The Waiting For Tonight Palette by NYX, priced for $30, contains 32 eyeshadows, 3 cream concealers, 4 eyebrow powders, 2 blushes, and four 4 lip glosses.

This palette would be a great travel palette because of all of it's available resources. Most of the colors are suited for more darker smokey eyes and are meant for a night out look, however it would not be impossible to use this palette for a day to day look.

The eyeshadows are highly pigmented and are so easy to use, one has to pat their brush in the shadow and they are good to go!

Like a lot of cream concealers, these are very sheer and would not provide much coverage. If you need slight coverage these would be great concealers, however I prefer rich and thicker concealers because they provide more coverage.

The eyebrow powders are also well pigmented and are workable for the brows. With an angled brush and gentle hand, they will help form the perfect brows.

The blushes' color payoff was great as well. Although the lighter pink didn't show up that well on my skin (I'm a bit more tan), the rosier pink suited my skin color well.

The bronzer was fantastic. In a lot of bronzers, I have found that they have a reddish tone, and it was great seeing a bronzer that suited my tanner skin tone. Also the shimmer in the bronzer added a little pop to the areas where it was applied.

The lip gloss does not have that much pigmentation, however it does add a nice tint to the lips. Although they would not serve as great pigmented lip glosses, they will add a nice overall look.

I have an explanation as to why I changed bottoms on this outfit of the day. I wore the skirt to school, but then I found it a bit uncomfortable to be wearing a skirt with all the walking I was going to do during the day. So, as soon as I got out of school, I ditched the skirt and put on the shorts, and continued with my day!

Note~

Although there currently isn't much on my blog, I hope to post a lot more in future :)
