Haul: Thrift Store and PacSun

New video! It's my first one! I hope you guys enjoy and feedback would be awesome! I'm might to a lookbook if this happens to get good reviews!

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.
