My New Toys

Hey Guys, 
I know I've been gone for a while and I'm really sorry about that but now I'm back and I have so many treats for you guys in store for future posts.  But before I get into everything, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope you all had great holiday seasons.  So today I wanted to talk to you guys about new products and tools I got for Christmas.  
So these are just some things I got:
  • Too Faced La Crème Lipstick in 9021Ohhh a deep red
  • Too Faced La Crème Lipstick in Naughty Nude a really pretty tan nude
    • These do have a sheen to them and aren't supposed to be matte which I like for when I don't want something completely flat
  • Make Up For Ever Foundation Stick in 173=Y445, and I have fallen in love with this foundation, it has been my go-to for the past couple weeks and it gives such great coverage without getting cakey and blends beautifully with my other products.
  • Urban Decay Liquid Moondust Eyeshadow in Chem Trial, and I actually ended up using this on New Year's Eve on top of a shimmer shadow and it lasted all night and looked so good with the gold and purple flecks that it had in it definitely something I would recommend.
  • MAC Fix+, this was my first bottle and I think I might be addicted to how it smells, I just was to douse myself in it.  I use it as a primer because it is very hydrating, and sometimes as a setting spray as well, and let's just say I'm hooked.
So lovies that's it, for now, I promise to be more active this year, so I hope you guys stay tuned for what's to come!  
Don't forget keep your contours sharp and your highlights poppin!😘

Update

Hey cuties,
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've just been really busy with school because I was away on vacation for 12 days.  Besides that I just wanted to update you guys on the products that I purchased right before vacation, and what I think of them after using them a few times.  So even though the CLINIQUE Beyond Perfecting Foundation&Concealer doesn't match my skin toe as a foundation, I have been using it as a concealer, and one major complaint I have is that it has been settling into my fine lines, by my eyes, and on my smile lines, even when I set them.  Besides that,  I do like the coverage it gives (medium to full), and the finish it gives my skin.   Meanwhile, as you guys know from my previous post, I have completely fallen in love with the ALGENIST Gel Moisturizer.  I use it right after my showers at night, and when I wake up.  My face feels so hydrated throughout the day, without feeling oily.  
Once again guys I'm so sorry for the delay, but I will definitely be updating more often, let me know if there are any products you guys want me to review for you guys.

With love,

Splash of Hydration

Hi cuties,
So after 3 days of using the Algenist Splash Hydrating Gel Moisturizer,  I think I might be in love.  This moisturizer is a godsend for Peeples like me with oily skin, it is my first time trying out any gel moisturizer, and I feel like it give me a whole new glow.   I put it on when I wake up and after my shower, and I think this will have to be a permanent investment for me.  I'll keep you guys updated, but I would definitely recommend this moisturizer for people with oily skin or people who want a non oily moisturizer.

With Love,

Rough Days, Makeup Haze

Hi Lovies
So today I had a rough day, and decided to treat myself to a little shopping spree at Ulta.  For those of you who don't know, Ulta is a big makeup department store with ranges of drugstore to top notch makeup brands.  Going in I knew that I wanted a new foundation, and a new moisturizer specifically for oily skin because, I do have pretty oily skin.  Gabriella one of the workers who helped me, was amazing, and was really able to help me find exactly what I wanted.  We tried the Born This Way Foundation by Too Faced, and the shade Honey matched up with my neck perfectly(yes I did say neck, this way, my foundation not only matches my face, but the rest of my body as well).  We had decided to let that rest on my face to see if it would change, or react oddly to the oils on my skin, and went off to the Esthetician they have on staff and she recommended the ALGENIST SPLASH Hydrating Gel Moisturizer, and I decided to take her word for it, and get one, this came with 2 free gifts, their Ultimate Anti-Aging Eye Cream, and their SPLASH Sleeping Pack, which is just another way for me to add moisture into my routine.  Back to the foundations, after picking up the moisturizer, we took a look at the foundation, and it was settling in nicely, but I had asked the Gabriella if there were any other ones she would recommend, and we took a look at the CLINIQUE Beyond Perfecting Foundation&Concealer, and once again, the shade Honey matched me perfectly.  Even though both foundations matched right, the CLINIQUE one had more of a satin matte finish which I do prefer, so I went with that one.  I am so excited to be trying out these products, and I'll let you know what I think after using them a couple of times!

For the most part I have makeup on no matter what, it's hard for me to actually leave my house without it on.  So these are just a couple of the products I like to use on a daily basis:
