CVS Milani 75% off Sale HUGE Haul

2012-01-22T21:58:00.005-05:00

CVS is having a massive Milani sale right now. I believe it is to make room for many new products. Here is what I got. There are lots of products on sale right now like blushes, lipsticks, concealers and etc. Nouveau Cheap's blog has a full list of the products just in case your CVS did not mark down the items. None of the CVS's I went to knew about the sale, I pretty much surprised the cashier with all these items LOL.

CVS isn't the only store having a Milani clearance, Duane Reade (Walgreens of NYC) is also discounting many Milani products as well as other makeup brands. There are some different items in this clearance, like the Tantastic bronzers, some runway eyeshadows, and different nailpolish colors that CVS doesn't carry. My favorite base coat is on clearance so I decided to stock up. I hope it is not being discontinued.

Make sure you guys check out these awesome sales! :)

And if you guys did, let me know what you guys picked up!

Black Radiance Downtown Browns Swatches

2012-01-21T12:21:00.000-05:00

When I saw this product on Nouveau Cheap I thought it was by wet n wild but actually its Black Radiance. I have never tried Black Radiance before but I have been really loving wet n wild eyeshadows for their amazing texture, pigmentation, and lasting power. I found that these eyeshadows are exactly like the same as the wet n wild eyeshadows but are different colors. I actually prefer these colors since they are neutral browns and suited everyday use.

This palette looks like Wet N Wild's Comfort Zone because of appearance, however the colors are not the same at all. The colors look like purples and greens but however when swatched and worn they look brow.n I really love how richly pigmented the colors in this palette are, the only shade that I did not find as pigmented is the crease color on the left side, however when worn in my crease I noticed that this one gave me the least fallout while applying.

Swatches

I would have to say that this palette has some MAC dupes. The left eyelid color looks like Satin Taupe, the right eyelid color like MAC Sketch and right crease color like MAC Beauty Marked. My favorite colors are both of the browbone and accent colors.

Price wise, the cost was $7.49 at Duane Reade. There were $1 off coupons next to the displays but valid for Walgreens, however the cashier accepted it. Wet N Wild's Comfort Zone costs $5, however I feel that this Black Radiance palette is a little bit more pigmented than the Wet N Wild.

Overall, I think this eye shadow palette is good for its pigmentation, colors, value, and longevity. The only issue I had with this palatte was the fall out I got while applying the eyeshadows on my eyes. I see this palette as more as a smokey brown look than the nude browns but it stll is very versatile.

I hope this review was helpful. :)

Milani July 2011 Products Review, Swatches, & Comparisons

2011-07-17T14:27:00.001-04:00

Hey guys! I'm here to share with you some new products by my favorite drugstore company, Milani ! I get very excited when drugstores come out with their limited edition products but sometimes they just seem okay, however these are an exception. These products are all amazing and I highly recommend getting your hands on them!

High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquer

It comes in shades Purple Rush, Instantaneous Blue, Racy Green, Fast Fuchsia, Jiffy Orange, Violet Dash, Yellow Whiz, & Hot Pink Frenzy. I have 7 out of 8 of them and I must say that they were much much more better than what I expected them to be!

Racy Green - emerald/teal color with green shimmers, opaque

Instantaneous Blue - royal blue with hints of pink shimmer, opaque

Purple Rush - true dark purple with violet shimmers, opaque

Violet Dash - thick opaque creme midtone lavender

Fast Fuchsia - thick opaque creme dark magenta with purple undertones

Jiffy Orange - thick opaque creme bright orange with red undertones

Yellow Whiz - thick opaque creme bright lemon-y yellow

Swatches (One Coat Used)

Milani High Speed Fast Dry One Coat

Lacquer Swatches from L to R :

Racy Green, Instantaneous Blue, Purple Rush,
Violet Dash, Fast Fuchsia, Jiffy Orange, Yellow Whiz

Haute Flash Full Coverage Shimmer Lipglosses are available in shades 101 Hot Flash, 102 Flashy, 103 In a Flash, & 104 Star Flash.

104 Star Flash - I was expecting it to be a much lighter pink but it looks like a muted fuchsia with an bright light blue sheen/shimmer. I like how its very unique and reminds me of Lisa Frank :). It's a bit to bold to be worn alone during daylight, would prefer this for clubbing. But I also tried it over some hard to wear light pink lipsticks and I must say that it made the colors instantly pop and look so beautiful!

Color Streaks Hair Mascara
It comes in shades, Fun in Red, Solid in Gold, Cool in Blue, Awesome in Purple, & Dramatic Shimmer. It has a mascara-like applicator brush. When you brush it through your hair it gives you small streaks of color. It blends in with your natural hair color. It also contains Keratin, which helps rebuild and restore hair

Solid in Gold - golden copper streaks, this gives me instant highlights! great for dark hair, it's my fave of the bunch!

Cool in Blue - royal blue streaks, shows up on my hair, but is probably better seen on lighter hair. I like how it's very pigmented

Awesome in Purple - dark purple streaks, i love how this gives my hair dimension!

Dramatic Shimmer - black jelly with iridescent boxy sequin pieces, this would be great for lighter hair giving some black streaks or even touching up or grey hairs! you can also control the amount of glitters you apply on your hair.

Color Comparisons

Here is some images to get a better understanding of what each color looks like. These nailpolishes are definitely NOT DUPES, but here so you guys can get a better feel for the color.

June 2011 Favorites

2011-06-30T23:48:00.000-04:00

Hey guys! Here's a review of my favorite products in this month!

1. Coppertone Ultra Guard Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Since I have a sun allergy/heat allergy on my arms I have to wear a high SPF lotion every day. I really like this because it not only protects me from the sun, it's also moisturizing. It hasn't made me itchy or cause me to have any signs of tanning.

2. Rimmel London Glam Eye Mono Eyeshadow in Glam Ice - This is an GREAT white eyeshadow to have. It has amazing pigmentation and goes on very smooth and buttery. I love this a lot!

3. Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antiqued Gold - I love this polish! When I first tried it on I was very disappointed because it would not shatter when I applied it. But after experimenting with it I found out the best way to apply this is by dabbing it in sections. It is so beautiful and flattering! I will have a pic of my mani with this soon.

4. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color in Blue-Away - This is a great opaque light blue! One coat is all you need.

5. Milani Nail Polish in Paradise Pink - I absolutely adore this nail polish. It's a really light pink similar to OPI Mod About You or Essie Fiji. It makes you look tan. It is so beautiful and flattering! It's opaque in 2 coats.

6. Revlon Nail Enamel in Minted - This is one of the first Revlon nailpolishes that I tried that I did not have any issues with. The color came nice and opaque in 2-3 coats and dried well. I like how the color is a more green than Essie Mint Candy Apple.

7. CoverGirl Intense Shadow Blast Eyeshadow primers in Beige Blaze 800 - I've been using this primer a lot lately and I really love it. It makes my eyeshadows stay on the whole day without any creasing. I will be reviewing this soon!

8. E.L.F. All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade - When I first tried this product I didn't like it because I was using it wrong. I also didn't like it because I thought it was a bit too sticky/creamy. I figured out the best way to use it is to swipe it on your cheeks and blend it with a stippling brush. The color looks amazing and is very long lasting.

9. Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Golden Beige 008 - I revisited one of my old product and I can say I really love it. It gives a great glow. Read my review here.

10. Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine in Nude Glow - This color isn't really a nude, it's more or a neutral sunkissed bronze. I really like this becuase it makes my lips look natural yet fuller. I will be reviewing this soon.

11. Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino - I love these baked blushes! I like this one because it's very pigmented and gives me a great glow!

12. L'Oreal HIP Concentrated Shadow Duo in Shady - This is a great shadow duo for an everyday look. The eyeshadows are matte. I really liked this because it makes me look natural yet polished. This is a must have!

13. Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in 002 Crystal Lilac - When I first heard about this color I didn't understand all the hype about it. But after I tried it, I really do like it! It gives me a nice light pink sheen on my lips, kind of like the lips of girls in hiphop videos (LOL). But it really really do love this!

14. Sonia Kashuk Pointed Foundation Brush - This is an amazing foundation brush. It blends my foundation very nice a smooth. It is great for blending is small hard to reach areas like your hair line and lips/nose area.

I hope this was helpful! More reviews will be coming up!

NEW Great Pinks & Perfect Nudes from Revlon (Pic Heavy)

2011-06-06T18:34:00.027-04:00

Hey guys! I wanted to share a haul I did in April. I absolutely LOVE all these colors and recommend all of them. I bought them during a Revlon sale in Rite Aid. Here they are:

So lets start the review. Also the Rimmel lipstick in this picture is Sunset which has been discontinued so I don't want to include this in the review.

Revlon Primrose (668) - this lipstick is a creme finish. It is a pink-lilac shade. I was surprised when I wore it on my lips it looked much lighter than I thought but I still found it wearable. It can be sheer and dry compared to other Revlon Creme lipsticks. It's still a nice unique everyday pink.

Revlon Icy Nude (002) - THIS IS MY HG* NUDE LIPSTICK!!! Perfect nude if you are around a MAC NC40. It isn't as creamy as the other colorburst lipsticks because it has glitter particles but it does not show up on my lips. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lipstick!

Revlon Smoked Peach (013) - this is a nice BRIGHT peachy orange. It is matte finish but goes on very creamy and smooth which is what I like about it the most. I like it but I have to tone it down a bit. ***note spelling is Smoked not Smokey (oops XD)

Revlon Sky Pink (012) - this is a matte light/medium pink. It goes on pigmented and creamy but is also on the bright side. It's color is similar to MAC Snob. I like it and recommend it.

Revlon Timeless Nude (512) - THIS IS MY HG* NUDE LIPGLOSS!!! It is a Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze and a pinky-nude-tan. It is very pigmented but can be drying. I have to reapply it often. When worn on my lips it is the most perfectest nude!! I LOVE THIS. I recommend this if you are a skintone around MAC NC40 since it is hard for us to find that perfect nude!

Swatches

Top: Revlon Timeless Nude (512)
Bottom: Revlon Primrose (668), Revlon Sky Pink (012),
Revlon Icy Nude (002), Revlon Smoked Peach (013)

Please feel free to recommend any other great pinks and nudes.
Thanks for reading :)

Estee Lauder Pink-Teal Shadowstick Duo Review

2011-06-03T10:32:00.009-04:00

Hey guys! I normally don't purchase Estee Lauder products but I have tried some samples my mom has gotten with her Lauder purchases. After seeing Temptalia's review on this product, I was so hyped, I purchased it the next day.

This is a limited edition product from their Bronze Goddess Soleil Summer Color 2011. What really made me purchase the product was that it was $20 and was being compared to the Urban Decay Jumbo pencils

I really like the colors of these two. They are both unique for a jumbo pencil! But my favorite is the pink side. It is a rosey pink with the prettiest golden sheen. It looks mostly gold when I wear it since I have tan skin, but it still looks awesome!

I like that they are long wearing and hasn't creased on me. Here's some swatches:

I'm back after a very long Hiatus! I was stressing with classes and finals while I was gone, but now that's over it's time to blog! I've done some huge major hauling that I will be sharing in the next few posts, so make sure you check back!

So here are some products that I was obsessed with this month!

Nivea Express Hydration in Sea Lotus - I got this sample in my Free Target Sample bag. Eversince I got this, is has been in my bag. I have been in love with this and use it for emergencies!

Wet 'n Wild Eyeshadow Coloricon Trio in Walking on Eggshells - This was one my first eyeshadow pallete from Wet 'n Wild and man I was so amazed! It is soo pigmented, long lasting and reminds me of my favorite MAC eyeshadows, Nylon, Mulch(lighter version), & Jest. LOVE!

Maybelline Great Lash in Royal Blue - when I first bought this I was expecting a huge pop of bright blue on my eyes and was very disappointed when it wouldn't show as apparent (but only shows in sunlight). However I have found ways to make this work and I love the way in lengthens my lashes. I can't live without this mascara!!

Physicians Formula Eye Booster in Ultra Black - I absolutely love this eyeliner!! It glides on so easily without having me pull my eyes. However one thing I really dislike about it is the lash growing formula, which has made my lashes grow (I already have long lashes). I hope they make the eyeliner without the serum because it's an amazing product and I keep reaching for it.

Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze in Timeless Nude - OMG this is the perfect nude lipgloss for me! I absolutely love this to death!! I really reccomenf this for girls who are in the range of tan skin!

Studio 35 Beauty Mineral Makeup Concealer Brush - comes in a set of 4 brushes. I bought this set from Target. It comes with a stippling brush also which is really good. I really like this concealer brush because it does a great job!

Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm - I also got this sample in my Free Target Sample bag. I've been using it eversince! I love that it's natural, paraben free and has a slight minty tingly feeling. This product has encouraged me to buy the other things in this Natural line!

Loreal HIP Color Crystal Eyeliner in 814 Bronze Shimmer - I absolutely love this eyeliner. It os the perfect bronze and has the most beautifulest gold shimmers in it. <3

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Peach - I have rediscovered one of my old goodies. I didn't like it much before as I do now. It's a nice brightening casual color to wear. Read my review here!

Physicians Formula Blush in Pink Glow - I really like how this blush is matte and gives me and natural flush of color since I can be very pale at times.

Bath & Body Works Hawaii Coconut Body Lotion - This is one of my most favortiest smells in Body Lotion. It reminds me of drinking Pina Coladas and smells like it too! I love it!

I will have individual reviews on some of these products and many more stuff from the drugstore! Thanks for reading! :)

Milani Baked Marble and Metallic Eyeshadows Swatches

2011-03-19T23:03:00.004-04:00

Hey guys! I've been gone for a while since my computer has a virus! Anyways, I wanted to share these eyeshadow I have been obsessing over! I've been testing them out for a while so I am quite familiar with their formula. I first noticed them when I was on my hunt in CVS looking for the Milani's new one coat glitter nailpolishes. On the display next to them I noticed these baked eyeshadows.

After trying four of these for the first time I was in LOVE and purchased many more. For sure I knew I loved these so much I purchased 6 more of them last week once again during the BOGO 50% off sale in CVS. So here's a compilation of all my hauls!

Marble Eyeshadows
Mingling – light frosty baby blue with white and silver glitters swirled
Intermix - brown with white and chocolate glitters swirled
Drenched in Gold - metallic yellow gold with cream and copper swirled
Together 4Ever – indigo blue with bronze and blue glitters swirled
Mélange – charcoal with white and gold glitters swirled
Medley – charcoal with silver glitters swirled
Fusion – purple with gold and copper glitter swirled

Metallic Eyeshadows
I Heart You - burnt red/orange with red sheen
Rich Java - brown with red undertones, has gold shimmers
Purrr-fect Purple - lilac lavender with blue undertone with purple sheen
Pink Twice - dusty baby pink with warm pink glitters and sheen

Swatches

Milani Baked Marble and Metallic Eyeshadows Swatches
Row 1 Medley, Mélange, Drenched in Gold
Row 2 Together 4Ever, Fusion, Mingling
Row 3 Intermix, I Heart You, Pink Twice
Row 4 Purrr-fect Purple, Rich Java

Milani Baked Marble and Metallic Eyeshadows Swatches With Flash

These remind me a bit of MAC Mineralized eyeshadows but I wouldn't say they are the exact dupe since the colors are different however the formulas are the same. If you like MAC Mineralized eyeshadows then you'll definetly love these! Plus I love how they were half the price of MAC eyeshadows and I purchased more of them during the weekly drugstore sale!

The method of wearing any baked eyeshadows can be tricky at first, but some ways I applied them were:
- As an all over color with Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, or MAC Greasepaint Sticks
- Apply them wet by either wetting the brush or taking some product on a brush and applying Fix+
-In the center of my eyes on my normal eyeshadow for a three dimensional look

I love these so much I will definitely purchase more colors soon! They are limited edition in CVS but I saw that they are now available on Milani's website, Cherryculture.com and Walgreen stores.

Thanks for reading!

Winter Glow: Milani Baked Bronzer Review and Swatches

2011-01-19T11:00:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! I'm here to share with you my two new favorite bronzers that I have kept my eye on for months! They are both very fantastic, inexpensive, and can compliment any skintone.

Milani Baked Bronzer in in 04 Glow and 05 Soleil

Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow - this is a light bronzer with has a mauvey-rosey brown undertone with golden shimmers. It reminds me of MAC Rose Ole highlight which recently came out a few weeks ago. Against my tan skin it looks like a light rosey tint but I can still contour with it if I build it up. It looks very flattering and natural! I love it!

Milani Baked Bronzer in Soleil - this is a golden brown color with golden shimmers and sheen. It shows up on my tan skin well as a contour yet looks very natural at the same time. It has the same affect as how NARS Laguna has on my skin (which is this natural contoured glow).This shade seems like it will be best suited for all skintones and I absolutely love using it!

Although these two look similar in pan, they come off looking very different once worn.

They also have a compartment underneath with a mirror and a brush (good for contouring)!

Swatches

I love them especially right now at the moment because I can:

1. Contour my face with them, especially the color Soleil, which comes off looking very natural and help my face look thinner since my face is round (contouring is a must for me!).

2. Even out my pale skin. Since it's winter right now, my skin still as a slight tan but still looks dull. Both colors help brighten up my face if I use them all-over.

3. Use it as a highlight. Especially the color Glow, since I have medium-medium/deep skin, it comes of very light, rosey, and flattering as a high cheekbone highlight.

I hope this was helpful! Thanks for reading! :)

Milani Nailpolish Jewel FX Swatches and More

2011-01-02T14:49:00.002-05:00

Hey all. Happy New Year! I just wanted to share these beautiful Milani Nailpolishes that I absolutely love! Ever since I heard blogs talk about them in early December I was determined to find them. Unfortunately my local CVS did not even get this collection so I had to do a lot of hunting. I was only able to find 3 from Milani's new Rockstar Heavy Glitter polishes and one from their Haute Value collection. I knew my boyfriend's CVS has a large beauty section and I knew they would have them, so I called him up that day and made him hunt for the rest with his mom and finally have all of them!

From Left to Right: Milani Tailor Made, Gold Glitz, Gems, Gold

Milani Tailor Made - From the Haute Value collection. Its a sheer blue with purple sheen. I applied two coats. It doesn't streak but probably look more opaque under white nail polish. I still love the facts that its sheer because most my nail polishes are opaque.

Milani Gold Glitz - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a typical warm gold glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Gems - From the Jewel FX collection. It has rainbow chunks of glitter. I applied two coats. I had to pat it on but I absolutely love this one!

Milani Gold - From the Jewel FX collection. It has gold hexagon chunks of glitter. I applied two coats. I had to pat it on.

From Left to Right: Milani Silver Dazzle, Purple Gleam, Blue Flash, Red Sparkle

Milani Silver Dazzle - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a charcoal with sliver glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Purple Gleam - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a fuchsia/purple glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Blue Flash - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a turqoise blue glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Red Sparkle - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a red glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Here's a picture of all the polishes.

The reason I went a bit out my way to get these because I thought they were all limited edition. However I found out that all the black caps are not and will be in stores in the Spring! So, I'm glad that it still will be available!

I also bought 2 of their baked eyeshadows that I will review soon.

I hope this was helpful thanks for reading and thanks to all my 300 followers :D

UPDATE! and Maybelline Enchanted Forest Quad Review

2010-12-16T18:36:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! I haven't blogged in a while! I had to step out because of school issues. I'm still having finals right now but after next week I'll have super updates on lots and lots of stuff I bought recently! I miss blogging I can't wait to start again! I have soo much more to share. Some of my upcoming posts are listed above! But here's a review I had forgot to put up a while ago!

This is a nice and everyday pallete. The colors are nicely pigmented for daily use and it's pretty good compared to other Maybelline eyeshadows I own! I picked this up from all the good reviews I saw on MakeUpAlley.com

I really like how they label what each shadow is used for although I find myself using the brow bone a lot! (I'm a sucker for highlighter shades :) )

Here's come swatches.
My camera didn't pick up most of the pigmentation on them but they are really nice and natural. As you can see the colors basically blend in with your skin. I will preview an eye look on it possibly soon! Thanks for reading :)

Revlon Matte Mauve It Over and Pink Pout Lipstick Swatches

2010-10-27T20:32:00.001-04:00

Hey! This is my second attempt trying Revlon Matte Lipsticks since the first one wasn't too great. But I thought I would give it a try since I heard many good things about these lipsticks and I was curious enough to test them out. was amazed by how good they are!

Revlon Matte Mauve It Over (003) and Pink Pout (002) Lipstick

Revlon Matte Mauve It Over (003)
Dry but creamy light red/brown color that I would not consider Mauve since it looks more red than pink/purple. Color is almost the same color as my lips and I really like that. I feel like it can even be worn alone if your lips are not chapped. It's a great everyday color.

Revlon Matte Pink Pout (002)
Dry but creamy pink with brown/purple undertones. I thought this color would look too chalky on me but I'm amazed how it actually compliments my skin. It's a color that looks nice with some gloss but I love this pink, it really unique. Definitely recommend for olive skintones.

I find these colors both very wearable and definitely recommend these two. These are much WAY better than the first one I tried Nude Attitude (001) which was too drying and looked too chalky on my lips. To wear these you have to make sure your lips are not chappy since it will show up a lot with these too.

I hope this was helpful. More posts coming soon. Bye :)

Mulberry For Target Haul Madness

2010-10-21T22:20:00.002-04:00

With all the hype about Mulberry bags (which usually sell for about ~$900) having a collection in Target for prices that range from $15-$50 is completely awesome. I called up all my local Target stores for these bags but they were all sold out! But I was able to find only 2 Target's up in the Bronx, NY which is where I found them! When I spoke to the store employee on the phone he told me there were 8 in the morning and I called back asking how many were left and he said 2-3 of the style I wanted and said that they were going fast! So, later on yesterday(10-15-10) I drove all the way there and a found there was a good handful but not too many. They had plenty of the Large Cerise Leopard Satchel in Pink and the Pebble Large Tote in Black (which is one I got)!

The Mulberry Look

All the Target versions of the bag come with this huge heart charm that I feel should be discarded immediately because it makes the bag look too pre-teenish. But I will show you how they look with it just because that's the way I bought it.

Mulberry for Target Denim Satchel in Blue
This is the one I really wanted because I thought it was super cute and gave the briefcase look. I prefer this one over the larger one because I felt the shorter handles looked better on it. This is definitely a must have. There were only 3 of these left from when I went yesterday night.

Mulberry for Target Pebble Large Tote in Black
I love how this bag looks very mature and has the signature turnlock. It looks very sophisticated and classy. I love how it's big enough to fit my laptop and other needs.

Mulberry for Target Pebble Mini Crossbody in Black
There was only one of these left! It was so cute that I couldn't resist, it is really tiny, smaller than I imagined from the website. But for the price I thought I'd get it because it's cute and I thought I wouldn't have another chance to buy it.

The reason I got these is because I want a Mulberry apart of my collection even though its Mulberry for Target. I like the fact that it has the signature briefcase look. Maybe when I'm older and rich I can afford to save up and buy the real ones but for now I'll be rockin these!

Chanel Nailpolish Dupes from Forever21

2010-10-13T22:25:00.002-04:00

Hey guys. This is my version of a look Temptalia did using Chanel Nailpolishes from the Chanel Noir et Or Collection from Spring 2010 (long overdue post).
View Temptalia's swatches here for comparison.

These nailpolishes did not copy Chanel's idea since I purchased them before the collection launched. But the idea of them together is a fantastic combo. The reason I wanted to share this is becuase I know these are two nailpolishes that became instantly sold out.

In the process, The LA Girls Matte Nailpolish alone.

Together they make a great combo that looks luxurious! Similar to Chanel Black Velvet + Illusion d’Or Nail Lacquers

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in Crimson and Plum

2010-10-10T17:59:00.006-04:00

Hey guys, this is my second review on Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks. These are actually two colors that my mom bought for herself since she wears bold lipstick colors everyday (like birght reds) but I decided to swatch them before I gave them to her. And I must say I really love these two colors, I was so surprised how flattering they were and want to keep them! I thought these were also two perfect reds for the fall.

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in Crimson (095) and Plum (010)

Plum (010) - When I first opened this from the tube I was so afraid that this color was a very very dark reddened plum. But when I put it on my lips, it looked a bit more like a maroon/burgundy color that I absolutely love! I love how the finish is a bit glossy so it doesn't make my lips look dry. It was also very long lasting. I will show some pictures I took on my webcam after wearing it for 3-4 hours.

Crimson (095) - I thought I was going to look riduculous with red lips but it actually looked very flattering. This is a medium/deep red similar to MAC Dubonnet, possibly a dupe. It's very creamy and glossy and lasted long too. I definatly recommend this to everyone.

New LE Maybelline Fashion Week Fall 2010 Collection Review

2010-09-09T07:03:00.005-04:00

Hey guys, I'm going to do a few more posts on Fall makeup trends as my next few posts. Once again Rite Aid had a 40% off products a few weeks ago.
I always check sundaysaver.com before I head to the drugstores to know what's on sale that week. I had a lot of things I wanted from the company so I decided to try new things. These two things are from their Fall 2010 collection and are limited edition.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Berry Beautiful (941)

What I really like about this lipstick is that is is creamy and works as good as the other Color Sensational lipsticks I already own. The color is a dark fuchsia with plum/blue undertones and no shimmer or shine. Its a unique shade and glad I got this. Plus, I love how it smells.

Maybelline LE Eyeshadow Palette in Charming Cobalt (90)

This was my first time trying Maybelline Eyeshadow after they changed the formula so I didn't know what to expect. Usually their eyeshadows are a hit or miss and I would say this one is in the middle. I wanted some neutral everyday colors so I chose this.

Lid (Shiny Taupe), Crease (Dull Matte Green/Teal), Browbone (Shiny Sand)

I really was looking forward mostly to the browbone color and luckily that one is super awesome.
The lid color is a shiny taupe brown with silver glitters. This color is very good and long lasting. It's very similar to MAC - Banshee but not as sparkly.
The crease color is a dull teal that has a matte finish. The color is decently pigmented and builds up, which is something I prefer rather than taking too much and messing up my crease. The color looks a bit green based on my because of my strong yellow undertones.
The browbone is my fave and really good. It's a shiny metallic sand color. I use this all over my lid and really like it. Sort of similar to MAC - Femme Fi in color.

Everybody`s Wearing Cargo Skinny Pants This Season!

2010-08-28T17:00:00.002-04:00

Hey all. Cargo Skinny Pants are totally in for this fall season. Many celebrities have been already been spotted wearing the most famous ones, J Brand "Houlihan" Skinny Cargo Pants. The style originally started on Balmain runways and many designers have incoporated on the style. Me being a huge fan wanted to buy the actual ones but they are SOLD OUT in many places. Luckily I found ones that were an exact dupe of them for about 90% off. I also found some other good ones in a similar style.

Dupes I found buy the brand Almost Famous retailing for about $30.00.

I got these pictures from Mandee.com but I found that other stores such as Pay Half or Strawberry also carries them. So I bought it from there for about $22.00! These are very good dupes. The detailing is very very identical to J Brands, even the color! They also had one available in Khaki too, which I might go back to get.

Some celebrities wearing it. Everybody's wearing them this season!

What do you think about this trend?

Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipsticks

2010-08-23T11:00:00.002-04:00

Hi guys. As you know I did a huge Rite Aid haul on Revlon products when they had their products on sale for 40% off the original prices and also giving a $4 coupon for every $10 I spent. So I have bought quite a lot of their lipsticks and I really liked the creme formula form when I tried the colors Berry Haute and Sandalwood Beige. I realized I was lacking on my pink lippies so I tried to make u on that. So here's what I bought.

Ginger Rose (131)

Pink In The Afternoon (415)
Pink Velvet (423)
Sassy Mauve (463)
Just Buff Enough (613)
Peach Me (628)

Ginger Rose (131)
This color is a great nude with a hint of pink/red that has warm undertones. No shimmers. I love this lipstick so much. I recommend to many others and they have actually learned to like it. Plus, the formula is smooth, pigmented, and glides on well. I love this color a lot.

Pink In The Afternoon (415)
This is a nice typical regular bright pink with no shimmers. What I really like about this its a bright pink that tanned skin can wear. I think this is a color is universal and many people will like this color. This is creamy and buildable, and one of my favorites!

Pink Velvet (423)
I love this color. It's an everyday magenta pink with no shimmer. It compliments my skin a lot. I think this color is very underrated because I never really heard many blogs recommending it. It's creamy, pigmented, and I only need two layers and I'm good. I like this one!

Sassy Mauve (463)
This is a pink/mauve with cool purple undertones. It has no shimmer. Very pretty, creamy, pigmented, and a great everyday color. I highly recommend.

Just Buff Enough (613)
This color is a peach nude that does not match my skintone. Out of all the Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipsticks I tried, this one is actually very dry and does not build up well. (In the photo I have about 8-10 layers!) I do not like this lipstick at all and regret buying it.

Peach Me (628)
This color is a peachy-orange with a golden/yellow pearl/frosty glaze to it (even shown on sticker). It is listed as a Creme finish but I believe it should be listed as a Pearl Finish. This color is creamy but not matte. I like this color though, but not as extraordinary like the others.

Some Comparisons

Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipsticks from left to right in:
Ginger Rose (131), Pink In The Afternoon (415), Pink Velvet (423)
Sassy Mauve (463), Just Buff Enough (613), Peach Me (628)

I hope this was helpful. I've learned to love drugstore lipsticks as MAC prices begin to hike and as I don't hear about any of their upcoming discount sales.

Have you guys tried these yet? If so, are there any that you would recommend?

The Perfect Pink Lipstick

2010-08-10T11:46:00.008-04:00

Hey guys, as you know I've been purchasing a lot of lipsticks lately, the reason mainly because I was just trying to find good lipsticks that work very well with my tan/olive complexion. While I have been doing my drugstore hauls I picked up Maybelline's Windsor Rose because I saw it was in CVS for 50% off retail. And I must say I absolutely love this soo much! Soo much that I used it a numerous amount of times on regular days or for special events.

I love everything about this lipstick, the color, the formula, the smell, texture, EVERYTHING! The color is very creamy yet opaque at the same time. It's a mauve-pink that is blue based and contains no shimmer or shine. The texture is very similar to my YSL lipsticks, that it feel very creamy, like butter in my lips. It smells like watermelons which I like!

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick, Windsor Rose A60

This lipstick has seriously become my holy grail! And after introducing to my sister, who had the same feelings about the color, I had to buy another one. I tried the CVS I bought it from, but it was all gone. And then my local CVS, gone! And then my Rite Aid and many many Duane Reades, gone! I went crazy the day I found out that this color which I thought I've seen everywhere before had just become discontinued! I even tried the internet and all drugstore websites didn't carry it anymore. I was even going to try Ebay, but I was doubting it. Finally after looking all over the internet I went back on the CVS website (which had it, but then disappeared and freaked me out) and they had it again. I wanted to buy atleast 10 of these but they only had 4 available, so I bought them all! :)

I never ever expected a drugstore product to make me go this crazy! I just can't believe how they would discontinue such a nice color. If you guys still find this at a store, grab it, its a must have!

Have you guys ever had a similar experience when you found out your new favorite product has been discontinued?

Designer or Forever21?

2010-08-03T20:08:00.011-04:00

Hey guys, as you all know I'm a huge Forever21 fan and always check daily for what new great things they get. I'm also a huge fan of designer clothing. I love how Forever21 is very fashion forward and uses inspiration from designers but is it me or do some of these look a little bit to similar?

Rimmel Airy Fairy Lipstick Review

2010-07-31T08:52:00.003-04:00

Hey everybody. I got a request from one of my readers to try this product. And I must say I'm very glad I did because its one of my new all-time favorites!!

The color I would describe it as a light mauvey pink that has nude undertones but still looks pink. When I swatched the product I noticed that it had a slight sheen to it but I think it's okay to have this since I have small lips and the shine helps emphasize my lips.

The color comes of a slightly opaque but it builds as you layer it. I think it a great light pink great since I have tanned skin and very pigmented lips and this color does not make me look like a guidette. It's very hard for people with medium to dark skin to find that perfect pink and I think this one really pulls it off for a lot of skintones.

The best part about this lipstick is that I was able to find it at CVS.com and it only cost me $5.29. I really love this color and have been wearing it a lot lately. I also like how it smells.

I hope this was helpful and thank you for the request!

I really want to try other of these Rimmel Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipsticks. Have you guys tried this product in the other colors?

Revlon Photoready Translucent Powder and Foundation Review

2010-07-29T21:00:00.004-04:00

Hey guys, I've been doing a lot of hauling lately, buying and trying a lot of drugstore products. This past week Rite Aid had a 40% off sale on Revlon products and so I bought quite a lot of stuff. The plus side to this hauling was that for every $10 I spend on Revlon Products I would receive free $4 coupon on anything in the store. This was great because it made me buy more Revlon stuff and everything super cheap. I usually buy drugstore products when they are on sale that week. So this was awesome!

Revlon PhotoReady Powder, 001 Translucent

This was my first time trying a translucent powder to set my foundation. I usually use my MAC studio-fix powder in NC40 to set my MAC foundation. I really like this powder. I do notice a slight scent to it but it's bearable. I think this a great alternative to a more expensive or a cheaper translucent powder.

Revlon Photo Ready Translucent Finisher has a brush inside
(the brush isn't that great though :/ )

Revlon PhotoReady Translucent Finisher

In the winter I'm an NC37 in MAC liquid foundation but recently I have gotten quite a tan and am about a NC40-42. So I definitely had to buy a new foundation. Since I have been running low on budget, I really wanted to try this foundation. And I must say that I am very pleased and quite impressed because I feel as if this color suits me better than my liquid MAC foundation.

Revlon Photoready Foundation in 008 Golden Beige

So as for choosing the right shade, I had a really good idea of what color would be my perfect for me from other bloggers and youtubers. Aubrey aka Fafinettex3 is the same exact skintone as I am so I chose based on her opinion. And I am very happy with what I got. I chose the color 008 Golden Beige.

Revlon Photoready Foundation in 008 Golden Beige

What I really like about this foundation is that it's a bit sheer and has micro glitters that add shimmer. These shimmers are there to reflect light in photographs. When I wear this foundation it makes my skin look as if it has a nice glowy finish and the color matches my skin perfectly. However, when I take pictures, it made my face appear a bit lighter. To tone down the lightness, I contoured my face and wore some blush. And I must say I am very please with this. I also love he fact that it has a pump.

The dewy sparkly finish after blending out the pump more.

So, If you are an NC37-42 I recommend getting the Revlon Photoready in 008 Golden Beige. The translucent powder also works great at setting this product also. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for reading.

What's your opinion on Revlon Photoready Foundation?

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Lip Swatches PART II

2010-07-14T11:44:00.024-04:00

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share these lovely lipsticks that I'm absolutely in love with right now! I tried these before and I really liked them.

Read My Old Review Here

So when I saw they were 40% off in Rite Aid again I went and I bought these new colors. This time I tried to pick different colors than the neutrals, but things that would suit my skin color.

The first color is called Peachy Scene. It's a peachy/brown with orange undertones. It has a nice pearly gold glaze to it. I really like it! It looks a bit nude/ neutral on my lips since I'm tan. The color is also very buildable.

The next color is called On The Mauve. This color isn't really mauve to me, it's more of a light purple/lilac color with some brown undertones and a slight shimmer. What really caught my attention about this color is that its very unique, like something I have never seen before. I like this color, but I don't recommend it for everyday since it looks a bit darkening to your lips. This color is a really cool color to try.

The next color is called Coral Crush. This is a very neon pinkish coral that has no shimmer and a nice creamy finish. When I saw this lipstick I instantly knew this was a dupe for MAC Red Full Stop, which is limited edition and something that I really want. But now I have this and I feel awesome for finding a dupe! Definitely recommend this one!

The next color is Make Me Pink. It's a very neutral/regular pink with blue undertones. It has no shimmer. I have to say that this color is the perfectest pink ever! This is one of my new everyday lipsticks. I like this way more than Pink Please because I feel that this suits my tan skin better than Pink Please, which looks more nude. This is a must have color for everyone!

This next color is Totally Toffee and OMG OMG OMG, I love this color soo much! It's my everyday color and a great nudish/neutral for my skin. It's practically the same color as my pigmented lips but it has a tan/nude effect to it. I recommend this for if you are around an NC 37, great nude!

The next color I got is Pink Peony. This is a pink/magenta with red undertones. This lipstick has a lot of shimmer and glitter in it. It's very beautiful. It reminds me of MAC Pink Burst. I recommend this for all skintones.

Celeb Outfit Ideas For Less

2010-06-21T23:22:00.001-04:00

I haven;t blogged about celeb clothing styles in a while, but I have had my eye out on the current styles. All these items are great for the night out or for those cold summer days. These styles are mostly things that were "in" the past Winter/Spring and these can be reinvented even now! All these items are available at Forever21 because I found it to be the best cheaper alternative.

I hope this was helpful. Thanks for reading :)

Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss Review

2010-06-05T16:40:00.001-04:00

Hey guys! I wanted to share these awesome glosses that were the first ones who made me start my ongoing drugstore hauls. These are the Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss and they cost about $6.99 each. I bought them without knowing about Milani sales so I bought them for regular price. I couldn't find all the colors at my local CVS so I had to order the others from Sears.com. So Here is my mini review of them.

Stylish - sheer orange with gold glitters, great over any color on on it's own.

Leading Lady - sheer maroon with gold/red glitters, good for a red/brown lip.

Designer Label - sheer beige with pink/orange glitters, great over a nude lip.

Movie Star - sheer blue with blue/pink glitters, very unique and great over pink/purple lips.

Starshine - sheer baby pink with purple glitters, very nice.

In Vogue - pigmented bright red with gold glitters, very pigmented and can be worn alone.

Fashion Diva - fuchsia with blue/purple glitters, beautiful color!

I find these very comparable to the MAC Dazzleglasses by the way the look. The texture is very different though.

Recently I did check out the MAC Superglass at the store and I find the texture of those to be more similar but to have more sparkle. I didn't buy any because I thought they were too expensive and they are pretty similar to Dazzleglasses and these Glitzy Glamour Glosses.

Have you guys checked out these products yet?

May Favorites!

2010-06-01T14:17:00.001-04:00

Hey all! Here's some products I used a lot, bought, and recommend for this past month May!

1. Rimmel London The MAX Volume Flash Mascara
I really like this mascara, it makes my lashes look a lot fuller and darker. It really lengthens my lashes and makes them look really dramatic instantly.

2. Milani Liquif’Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil in Black
I really like the pencil. It makes my eyes look very black and dramatic. I've been using this about everyday and I love how it glides on so easily. I did a review of this before. Click here to read.

3. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss Coral Reef
I heard about these on a few blogs and saw them in CVS and decided to try them out. I really love this color since I love corals and because it's very glossy and pigmented. Once again I'm sad that this is limited edition :(

4. Elizabeth Arden Eyeshadow, Blush, and Brush Palette
I got this set as a gift a few years ago. I recently found it in my make-up stash and have been using it again. The colors are great and this palette is great for when I'm in a hurry since all the colors are very wearable. I've been using this a lot since I had my finals so I didn't have time to choose colors. It''s nice pigmented and I really like it since it has a nice blush too.

5. Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Totally Toffee
Oh my gosh I love this color to death! This is like a nice pink/brown nude color with is almost the color of my lips but still look a bit nude. I love it soo much! Definitely going to be one of my all time favorites! It reminds me a lot of MAC Jubillee. I really really recommend this color if you like MAC Jubilee, Freckletone, or Warm Me Up.

6. OPI What's With the Cattitude from the Shrek Collection
I love this color. I don't see many light baby blue nail polishes so I decided to get this one because it really caught my eye. I love it and another thing I like about it is that it's opaque and applies thinly with the brush! I also love how it's in the Shrek Collection. The sad part about it is that it's limited edition!

7. Clean & Clear Morning Glow Eye Brightening Cream
I have this using this as a primer for many years now. It's still hasn't run out yet! I like to put this around my under eye area before I add concealer. I use it to hydrate that area and to clean up any eyeshadow fall out.

Milani Créme Brulip Color Glosses Lip Swatches

2010-05-26T13:27:00.002-04:00

Hey guys! This is an overdue post once again! I bought these one month ago from the Milani Creme de la Creme Collection. I must say I really like these and have been liking a lot of Milani Cosmetics lately since they are a good price and are available at my local CVS. I still have a lot more Milani Reviews coming up too!

Milani Créme Brulip Color Glosses from top to bottom in
Sweet Dessert (01), Berry Brulée (02), Sugar Glaze (03), Strawberry Custard (06).

The thing I like about these are that they look as if they are lip glosses, but they have the same pigmentation like typical lipsticks. What really made me want to try them out was that the smell like actual creme brule. I thought it would be similar to the MAC Creamsheen Glass, but boy was I wrong! These are much better and inexpensive.

I would have to say that Strawberry Custard is my least favorite since it did not give me good coverage as the other ones did. This one had more of a typical MAC Creamsheen Glass texture and look.

These were all the ones that were released from my local CVS. I really like them and really recommend them since they were about $6.99 and work great. I've been looking everywhere and in other CVS's for these but I believe they are limited edition! :( I hope Milani brings these back because these are a hit!

If you guys see this in the stores, grab it it's awesome! Thanx for reading! :)

MAC Pret-a-Papier Collection Lip Swatches

2010-05-20T09:53:00.001-04:00

Hey guys! I haven't updated in sooo long since I have been busy with all these papers and finals. Anywayz here's a haul I did from the MAC Pret-A-Papier collection. I really love this collection a lot since I'm a sucker for corals and it reminded me a lot of my absolute fave MAC lipstick (Ravishing).

MAC • Dressmaker, Dressmaker • Lipstick
I absolutely love this color. It's a peachy, light coral with no shimmer. It's a lustre formula but it's a lot more opaque than typical lustre lipsticks. On my tan skin it looks nude. It's similar to MAC's Freckletone but like a peachy/pink version of it. I love it! I really recommend this color.

MAC • Made to Order • Lipstick
I also love this color. It's a sheer coral with some gold shimmers. It looks a bit opaque on my lips because I had to layer it like any typical lustre. It is a lot more sheer than Ravishing and a bit darker colored. It's a nice coral to have.

MAC • Fold and Tuck • Lip Glass
OMG! This is such a great color. When I saw Temptalia's swatches, I knew I was gonna get it immediately. To me this is a gloss version of MAC Ravishing. It's a coral with a little gold shimmers. I love it and recommend this color for any skintone.

I hope this was helpful! Thanx for reading. :)

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick Swatches

2010-05-08T16:00:00.001-04:00

Hi guys! I was supposed to make this post two months ago about this but I never got a chance to! I got these from about 3 hauls from CVS during the same week. I got them in a BOGO so it's like I got 3 lipsticks and the other 3 for free! So let me start my review!

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks [left to right] in Carnation (025), Mauve (005), Soft Rose (040), Rosy Nude (065), Peach (075), Soft Nude (070)

Mauve (005) - this is a purplish/mauve color that is dark pink it has no shimmer and is creamy. It's darker than Carnation. It tends to look darker and more browner without flash photography.

Carnation (025) - this is a regular pink that really compliment my skin it has no shimmer and is creamy. It's darker than Carnation. I love it!

Soft Rose (040) - it's a muddy rose color it has no shimmer and is creamy. It's similar to rosy nude but is a little lighter. I would not recommend this for lighter skintones, unless you want dark colored lips.

Rosy Nude (065) - its a muddy rosy that is darker than Soft Rose. It's definitely not nude for me. This is my least favorite. I do not recommend this if you don't like dark colored lips.

Soft Nude (070) - this is a nude color, a little darker and pinker than Revlon Nude Attitude. This is an alright nude but definitely not the best for my tan skintone. This would go great with dark eyeshadow.

Peach (075) - I absolutely LOVE this color. This is my favorite from this collection, I'm a sucker for corals and peaches! This color is a nice light orange color! I really really recommend this color for everyone!

Lancôme - Designer Bloom

2010-05-04T21:52:00.002-04:00

Hi guys! I was organizing my make-up drawer a few weeks ago and I realized I had this (hence the same time I found my Lancome Pink Organza). I most probably got this from some set a few years ago since my mother buys a lot of of Lancôme products and somehow it ended up in my drawer. I decided to try this one before I threw it out just like the other one :x!!! But I discovered how great it is and still am wondering if this is a dupe of MAC O lipstick.

Just like Pink Organza I found this to be very amazing. The best thing about it is that it's STILL AVAILABLE in stores. When I looked it up on MakeUpAlley I saw that reviewers gave it a Average Rating. of 5.0 out of 5.0 and 100% of the reviewers would buy this product again. I also saw that this color is an award winner. Thank god I didn't discard it!

Here's a swatch of it, The color is a reddish-brown mauve that has a gold shimmer/sheen to it. The finish is Sheen and to me it feels similar to like a MAC Lustre formula. It looks like typical Guerlain lipsticks. It comes out sheer but is very buildable. It seems to compliment my skintone and I'm sure it'll compliment all skintones. And it costs $22 which isn't so bad for a great quality lipstick.

I decided to do some comparisons with this since I would like to find a dupe of it. As you can see it is more red than MAC - Warm Me Up and MAC Viva Glam VI. I'm trying to find an exact dupe, I believe MAC Thrills which is coming out in the To The Beach Collection will have that.

I have a lot of great reviews coming up so keep checking back for more posts! Thanx for reading :)

April Favorites!

2010-05-02T21:32:00.002-04:00

Hey all! Here's some products I used a lot, bought, and recommend for this past month April!

1. MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC35
I absolutely love this concealer soo much! I wear it everday to cover up my blemishes and under-eye circles. If there are 3 cosmetics I need to live, this is my number 1!

2. LA Girls Nailpolish in Bittersweet (Forever21 Name)
I wore this for most of the month when the Chanel Illusion D'Or came out and when it did I realized that I already had a dupe of it for a fraction of the price! I bought this in Forever21 during the holiday in 2009 and it looks soo much like Chanel's Illusion D'Or. I got soo many compliment wearing it. I will have a review of it soon. I love LA Girls Nailpolish.

3. L'Oreal H.I.P. Eye Shadow Duo in Wicked 536
I bought this during a CVS haul this past month. It's not very pigmented so I use it for everyday use. It has a golden side and a matte plum side. I will have a review of these coming up.

4. Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer SPF-15
I use this moisturizer for everyday use. I've been using this since I was in 7th grade and I still love it. It gives me a nice glow and wakes me up!

5. MAC Neo Sci Fi Sheertone Shimmer Blush - X-Rocks
I don't use this everyday but I can if I want! I use this to contour my face. I picked it up from CCO in Deer Park, NY. Check out my past review of it.

6. Milani Eye Tech Liquid Liner in Black
I ABSOLUTELY love this liner! I have compared it to my MAC Penultimate Eye Liner and found this more pigmented, cheaper, sanitary, and easier to use. I will have a comparison of them coming up.

7. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, Sandalwood Beige 240
I picked this up recently during a CVS haul looking for rosey colors. It's a nice opaque color. I picked it based on a blog review and I love it. I could where this everyday. Read my review below to see swatches of it.

8. EcoTools Bamboo Foundation Brush
I've been looking for a nice inexpensive Foundation Brush and got this after a sale at Rite Aid. It works very well and is very soft! It's a very good buy!

9. Eco Tools 6 Piece Eye Brush Set - Highlight Brush
I love this whole brush set but I chose this one especially because I've been looking for a good blending brush and I found this. It's sup[er soft and very useful. I'll have a longer review of it soon and even an ecotools GIVEAWAY, so keep checking back!

10. Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara in Extreme Black
I bought this about 2 weeks ago at CVS and I am very please with this. The brush shape is really cool. It didn't work so well with my upper lashes but it was wonderful for my lower lashes. I really recommend it for lower lashes.

Lancôme - Pink Organza

2010-04-24T17:33:00.001-04:00

Hi guys! I was organizing my make-up drawer and I realized I had this. My mother buys a lot of of Lancôme products so she got this from one of the sets she bought a few years ago. She never tried this color since she wheres a lot of reds so somehow it ended up in my drawer. Well I was cleaning out my drawer and I decided to try this one before I threw it out :x!!! Thank god I did because I absolutely fell in love with this color!

I'm so glad that I tried this since it became my new favorite but the sad apart about it is that now it's discontinued. Even though this is limited edition I thought I would do a review on it becuas there is so little about it on the internet. When I looked it up on MakeUpAlley I saw that reviewers gave it a Average Rating. of 4.5 out of 5.0 and 90% of the reviewers would buy this product again.

The color is a mixture of a coral mauve /pink brown with gold shimmer in it. It looks like typical Guerlain lipsticks. It comes out sheer but is very buildable. It feels similar to a MAC lustre formula but I fond it better and smoother. It looks very natural to where everyday and it makes my lips pop out.

I decided to do some comparisons with this since it is limited edition and I would like to find a dupe of it. As you can see it is more orange than MAC - Warm Me Up and much lighter and pinker than MAC Viva Glam VI. If someone knows a dupe of it please let me know since I have been buying many drugstore lipsticks to find a rosey color like this.

I have a lot of great reviews coming up so keep checking back for more posts! Thanx for reading :)

Revlon 420 and 240 for 4-20-10

2010-04-20T21:13:00.005-04:00

Revlon Blushed (420) and Sandalwood Beige (240)

Hello Everyone! Last Week CVS had a BOGO 50% off sale on Revlon lipsticks so I was intereted in buying two more! The better part about this was that I had a $5.00 off CVS coupon so I got these two lippies for around $6.00! So I bought two lipsticks and here they are. The first one I got is Revlon Blushed (420).

I bought this because I was looking for a rosey shade with gold glitters and a MAC Lustre finish. This was my first time buying a Revlon Pearl Finish lipstick and I didn't realize that it would look so silver/ metallic on my lips. The color looks pretty natural to my normal lip color so I have been wearing it for an everyday use. Since that I have actually started to enjoy this lippie, even though it took me a while since it wasn't what I really expected from the MakeUpAlley Reviews and from my own hand swatch.

The next color is Revlon Sandalwood Beige (240).
This lipstick is in a creme finish and has no shimmer at all. It was under the Nudes section towards the end of the row. I wanted to try this one after I saw one of my fellow Blogger swatch it. I thought it would be a rose color since that's what I was looking for but I was wrong. It's a tanned peach/coral color that is orange based. I really extremely love this color and I was so shocked because I find this color to be very unique and cool! I definitely recommend this color if you are a MAC NC35- more skintone!
I have a lot of post coming up so keep checking back. Thanks for reading :)

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Lip Swatches

2010-04-13T14:33:00.002-04:00

Hey, everyone! I've been hauling for the past few weeks sinces there has been some great drugstore sales on make-up. About 2-3 weeks ago, Maybelline cosmetics were on sale in Rite Aid and I wanted to give them a try since I heard good reviews on them. So here's what I bought.

Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks infrom Left to Right: Pink Please(025), Warm Me Up (235), Park Ave Peach (535), and Blushing Brunette (245)

They first color is called Pink Please. It's a very creamy light pink/peach with some red/brown undertones. I heard great things about this online and I am happy that I bought it since it's a bit different than the other ones I got. This is the kind of pink that doesn't wash me out and can be paired with almost any gloss. It has no shimmer in it also. I love it.

The next color I got is called Warm Me Up. I found it funny that it has that name since it reminded me of MAC's Warm Me Up. It's a brown/mauve color with no shimmer in it. I havn't compared it to MAC's Warm Me Up but I think MAC's is a bit more peachy.

The next color I got is called Park Ave. Peach. I absolutley love this color. It's a coral/peach/brown color. Once again this one does not contain any shimmers. If you love corals, then you'll love this one!

The last color I got is called Blushing Brunette. THIS COLOR IS MY FAVORITE! out of all four of them. I could wear this all the time. I've been wearing this a lot lately. It feels like a lustre formula and has a shimmer/shine to it. The color (brown/pink) is a bit darker than my normal lipsticks but I definately recommend this one!

Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks in from Left to Right: Pink Please(025), Warm Me Up (235), Park Ave Peach (535), and Blushing Brunette (245)

With No Flash: Maybeline Color Sensational Lipsticks in from Left to Right: Pink Please(025), Warm Me Up (235), Park Ave Peach (535), and Blushing Brunette (245)

MAC Art Supplies Collection Review

2010-04-02T12:34:00.016-04:00

So yesterday I purchased Greasepaint sticks and pearlglide eyeliners from the MAC Art Supplies collection which came out yesterday. The collection also had these lipstain markers but I decided to skip those because they didn't seem very useful to have. So here's what I got.

Pearlglide Eyeliners
Industrial LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a periwinkle grey which looks dark blue but has very bright light blue glitters. When flashing with a camera, it seems lighter than the original color. Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.
Undercurrent LE: From the Art Supplies Collection.It's a blue teal will very bright golden glitters, Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.
Designer Purple LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a bright grape-purple with pink and purple glitters. Very unique and great to have. Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.
Petrol Blue LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a dark navy blue with turquoise/cyan blue sparkles and glitters. I love this, it's very unique from other blue liners. Goes on very smoothly and is smudgeproof.

From top to bottom: Designer Purple, Petrol Blue, Industrial, Undercurrent

Sorry for the smudged swatch near Petrol Blue, it was from an eyeliner swatch.

Greasepaint Sticks
Below Ground LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a blackened bronze that seems like a gold base. It's very nice to have for lighter colored Mineralize eyeshadows or for under your eyes.
Dirty LE: From the Art Supplies Collection.It's a blackened taupe with pearl, silver, gold glitters. It looks amazing for creasing a neutral eyeshadow look or for brown eyeshadows.
Slick Black LE: From the Art Supplies Collection. It's a true carbon black with no glitters or shimmer. This is great to pair with Mineralize eyeshadows, especially the ones from the MAC Styleblack collection.

From top to bottom: Slick Black, Below Ground, Dirty

The special thing about these Greasepaint sticks is that they have a sharpener that you can pull off at the end. It's very cute and small, I didn't get to test them out yet but I will test them out soon.

Milani Liquif’Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencils Review and Comparisons

2010-03-30T11:21:00.003-04:00

The top and the bottom ones are the Milani Liquif’Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencils. I decided to try these out ever since I heard Temptalia's review of them. I must say that they are wonderful and long lasting! I found them to be somewhat similar look MAC Powerpoint Pencils or Urban Decay 24-7 liners. So I decided to compare it with ones that I already have. And I found them to be the same size and look very alike.

From Top to bottom: Milani Brown, MAC So There Jade, Milani Silver

Same Exact Size! (I never sharpened the MAC one)

From Top to bottom: Milani, MAC. They are both 0.04 OZ/ 1.2g and made in Germany :)

Here are some swatch comparisons.

As you can see, they are very similar looking but I found the Milani ones much easier to use, denser and more smooth. But the only problem I had with the Milani was when I put it on my waterline. These are great for upperlash area. Here are some more swatches.

More Milani reviews are coming soon! Thanks for reading! :)

MAC Comparison - Light That Fire and Pink Grapefruit

2010-03-28T10:25:00.000-04:00

I've heard a lot of forums and people asking if these two colors are similar. Well since I have both of them I thought I would do a comparison. Both of these are wonderful and limited edition!

So first here's MAC Light That Fire from the Warm & Cozy Collection. I found it to be more yellow in color and have less shimmers than Pink Grapefruit. Its a very great color to have thought and especially since it's limited edition.

So first here's MAC Pink Grapefruit. I got this from a holiday set in 2008 but I think it was originally from the Manish Arora Collection. I found it to be more pinker in color and have lots of shimmers. Its also limited edition!

Here you can see the difference with no flash! Light that Fire is much more yellow toned and Pink Grapefruit is more pink toned.

With flash they almost look the same. Even when worm on lips they look exactly the same because of the undertones in my lips.

Overall, if you have one of the lipglass you don't need to get the other unless you need another one! :) Thanks for reading.

MAC - Optimistic Orange and Fresh Salmon

2010-03-26T12:23:00.000-04:00

Two great oranges and corals that are about sold out everywhere! Luckily I found Optimistic Orange at a Bloomingdales and Fresh Salmon at a Macys. So here is my review.

Blush
Optimistic Orange (Cremeblend)LE: From the Lillyland collection. It's a creamy orange-coral. It looks orange in my swatch but on cheeks it looks more coral after it is blended out. It's definately a must have!

Lipstick
Fresh Salmon (Lustre)LE: From the Spring Colour Forecast Colour 2 collection. It's a sheer bright pink orange. It builds in layers on lips and look fab! I love it!

I hope you enjoyed my review! I will have more posts coming up about amazing things that I got so keep checking back. Thanks for reading :)

MAC - Riveting Collection Review and Swatches

2010-03-24T12:24:00.000-04:00

Once again here's another post that I had planned to put up a while ago but couldn't becuase of all my exams. Here's my haul from the Riveting Collection. I was soo excited about this collection because a lot of the things I wanted were PRO items and to me, most PRO items are very pigmented. This collection had many metallic and silvers but I decided to skip those.

Blush
Dirty Plum (Powder) PRO: From the Riveting collection. It's a deep plum. It's very good to contour with this. It gives a nice unique plum shade. I tried to use it as a blush but I failed. It's definitely better for contouring.
Full Fuchshia (Powder) PRO: From the Riveting collection. It's a very bright iridescent fuchsia. It's definately a must have!

Lipstick
Show Orchid (Amplified Creme) PRO: From the Riveting collection. It's a very bright hot pink that's a bit blue based. A very Barbie pink and a must have!

Lipglass
True Babe (Creme) LE: From the Riveting collection. It's a creamy bright hot pink gloss that's a bit blue based also. Also a very Barbie pink lipgloss which I found unique than other glosses and a must have!

I hope you enjoyed my review! I will have more posts coming up about amazing things that I got so keep checking back. Thanks for reading :)

Milani Holographic Nail Lacquer Review in HD

2010-03-22T23:36:00.008-04:00

I saw a lot of reviews about this nail polish and wanted to try it out myself. I've been loving Milani Nailpolishes since back in the day but now they came out with these and I must say they are super cool!

At the store, CVS, they cost like $4.99 and I didn't see them as that great, since I guess the lighting at the store was horrible. But as I got home and swatched them I fell in LOVE!

To see the holographic/rainbow effect you need to put your nails in specific angles and lightings just like a holographic picture.

This is the grey/silver shade it's called HD.

I love them and bought all of them because I believe they won't be in stores for too long. I've been seeing that Milani has brought out many new things on their Summer/Spring 2010 line so I bought other Milani things that work great too. I'll have those reviews up soon. Thanks for reading. Check back for my other swatches and Milani reviews!

Revlon Lipsticks - Nude Attitude and Berry Haute

2010-03-19T15:20:00.000-04:00

Here are some pics of my recent haul at the drugstore. This was my first time trying out Revlon lipsticks for myself, usually my mother wheres it but there was a BOGO sale at CVS last week so i decided to try some shades.

The first one I picked up was Nude Attitude. I've heard many reviews about it and wanted to try it for myself. So I bought this. It was $7.99. Here are some pictures of the packaging.

About this lipstick, it's a matte finish. They also made the lipstick tube look a bit "matte" which I just did not like because it feels very cheap like it would break easily. But I noticed my other Revlon lipstcik is a cream finish and has a much better classic tube. Here's Nude Attitude on my lips.

The color is really nice, I like it and it's a little different then my other nudes. It does make me look a bit chalky so i like to pair this one with one of my neutral colored lipsticks. Also, I found this lipstick to feel drier than MAC matte lipsticks or frost lipsticks. So I always have to make sure that my lips aren't chappy to make this look nice.

Here is Berry Haute, another Revlon lipstick that I purchased. I bought this for $3.49 from my BOGO, but the original price was $6.99. Even though this is cheaper in prince than Nude Attitude, I found the packaging and application to be much better.

This is a creme finish and feels great on your lips. It goes on very smooth. I believe this color is a new shade also. After I bought this, I tried searching on the web for more reviews of this color and I don't see many, so I'm glad to be one of the people to contribute to this color. Here's how it looks on my lips.

I love this color, it's a very rosey-pink/purple. To me it looks more pink on my lips because of my yellow undertones but it can be seen as a purple when you come closer. I've really been excited about building my collection of purple lipsticks and I'm glad I got this one, I found it very similar to one of my limited edition MAC lipstick.

Here are some swatches to compare the colors with my other lilacs/lavendars/purple lipsticks.
As you can see from here, it is darker than MAC's Bubblegum and Blooming Lovely and it has an obvious pink color to it.

From this swatch, we can see that it definitely lighter than MAC Violetta but very very very similar to MAC Radicchio. I was really happy that I found a lipstick that is a dupe of this one since it's limited edition. I heard that it was also close to MAC's Up The Amp, which I don't own but really want, but I think that is more purple with no shimmer, but this MAC Radicchio seems to match to almost exactly. I think Berry Haute is a great color to have.

I will have more posts coming up about amazing things that I got from CVS, so keep checking back. Thanks for reading :)

Colour Me Coral (Frost)LE: From the Spring Colour Forecast Colour 2 collection. It's a frosted light coral. It looks a bit gold and metallic on my lips.

Blush
Joie-De-Vivre (Cremeblend)LE: From the Lillyland collection. It's a creamy peachy coral. It's definately a must have!

Eyeshadow
Hot Hot Hot (Satin)LE: From the Spring Colour Forecast Colour 2 collection It's a matte light coral. It was very hard for me to swatch it. I heard it's very pigmented but it doesn't seem like that for me.

MAC - Viva Glam Gaga

2010-02-23T23:29:00.010-05:00

Finally, I'm posting a review and swatch for this lipstick. Almost every blog has had a review of this, and they are very lucky to own it since it is completely sold out at MAC stores and the website. I bought mine from Macy's and luckily I found another there and bought another one this past weekend.

Packaging with Lady Gaga's Signature

Box side & Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick

Viva Glam Gaga swatch with no flash.

Some thoughts about this lipstick. I love the color, its very bright and unique. I find it a little bit hard to pull it of in an everyday look for me since its a very bright light bubblegum pink. The application is very smooth and I love it. The first time I swatched, it was a bit sheer because of the Lustre formula, but as I kept building it, the color becomes more apparent. I will be doing a look with this soon. I hope this review helped. Thanks for reading :)

MAC Violetta, Other Limited Edition Products, and Comparisions

2010-02-18T14:44:00.012-05:00

Hi , I haven't been blogging lately since I've been busy with school, but meanwhile I have been purchasing a lot of MAC stuff. I made this purchase probably like 3-4 weeks ago and finally I have a chance to post up some swatches. All of these products are limited edition, and I don't have many permanent products since I'm new to this and it seem as though all the things I like are put as limited edition. So here's what I got.

Lipsticks
Violetta (Amplified Creme)PRO: This is my first purple lipstick! It's a very pretty and bright fuchsia purple and it's a PRO item, so I assumed it would be really pigmented and it is! I got it from the MAC website from the Have A Love Affair promo/collection.
Most Popular (Lustre) LE: I saw this as a 'goodbye' [tear] but it was one of the ones that was apart of the hello kitty collection. It's a sheer/light maroon color. The website describes it as a purple with yellow undertone.
High Def (Amplified Creme) LE: This is a goodbye also. It's from High Def collection lol. It's a mid-tone neutral coral. It's very nice as a nude with a pigment.
Empowered (Satin) LE: From the All Ages, All Races and All Sexes collection. It's a creamy mid-tone neutral brown. Some people say it's similar to Siss.

Eyeshadows
Banshee (Lustre)LE: From the All Ages, All Races and All Sexes collection. It's a dirty taupe with frost and sparkle diamond cluster. Looks very neutral when worn.
Love Lace (Veluxe Pearl) LE: From the Love Lace collection. Frosted mid-tone grey-ish blue. Good for a smokey look.

Lipglass
2N (Tinted)LE: A re-promote but now from the Warm & Cozy collection. It's a creamy neutral yellow pink. A must have!

I decided to do some comparisons with other lipglasses I already have. And as you can see is more pinker than Wildy Lush but also has a orange/yellow undertone.

LA Girls - Indie Rock Nailpolish

2010-01-26T13:00:00.000-05:00

Some more LA Girls Nail polish which I absolutely love! This one is from the Rockstar collection. The nailpolishes have a metaltic shine with a great dazzle of glitter. The glitters aren't too gunky, so it isn't hard to remove them. I bought this from forver21 for $2.80 but they can be purchased from other places for different prices.

Here's Indie Rock. It's a dark metallic blue with bluish/purple glitters. Forever21 has another color that looks very similar to this that's called Midnight Glitter.

MAC - Warm Me Up Lipstick

2010-01-23T11:04:00.009-05:00

I was at Queens Center Mall yesterday and I decided to stop at MAC. I was hoping to find Violetta there but instead I found Warm Me Up from the Warm & Cozy Collection. I knew this was going to be good since it's all sold out online. And after I tried it on I realized that it's a great nude lip. Here's some swatches.

Here's it on the Lips. The color is described as a neutral pink but it's more of a creamy pink/brown with a little yellow in it. It's very pigmented and goes on smooth since it's an Amplified Cream finish.

I tried to do a whole 70's vibe wearing this lipstick a blouse and my aviators. I was wearing this blouse before I bought the lipstick but added the aviators for fun. :)

My First Experience at CCO (Deer Park, NY)

2010-01-16T13:00:00.003-05:00

Things I got from CCO in Deer Park, NY

Pros: Got a lot of Limited Edition MAC stuff for cheap, Took about 30 mins to get there, Nice empty mall to shop at, beautiful environment

Cons: The rule of # of items to buy at CCO, the unhelpful people working at the store

I've been waiting for the Friends & Family MAC Sale to come , so I have been reading forums on Specktra.net and it seems that MAC won't be having a sale around this time. I also started reading about The Cosmetics Company Store or CCO. If you don't know what CCO is it's an outlet shop that features Estee Lauder-owned brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, FLIRT! and more. At CCO they have products that include overstock, discontinued colors, and limited-edition products. The thing that that makes this great is that now people can buy products they missed out on. But what really grabbed my attention was that these products were 30-40% off their original price! And after I read the forums on Specktra I was really tempted to go there. And so I did on Tuesday, January 12 and here's what I got!

Things I got from CCO in Deer Park, NY, again w/out boxes

So the prices for each items are:
Eyeshadow: $10.25
Lipstick: $10.00
Lipglass: $10.00
Blush: $12.25
Mineralize Blush: $15.75
Eyeliner: $10.25
Lashes: $9.25

They sucky part about this was that there was is a rule for CCO's that you can only buy three of each item. I think I read this on a forum but I thought they meant that you could only buy no more than three of certain product (For example: X-Rocks, X-Rocks, X-Rocks), but it really meant that I can only buy ONLY three blushes, three lipsticks, three of everything which is the most dumbest thing I've heard. I was able to get four eyeshadows beucase my sister was with me. But this rule really turned me off. And the worst part about this was that the lady working at the store made it so complicated for us saying that we even have to use a different type of payment just to get the extra eyeshadow! How wierd is that! Anyways, so let me give a detailed review of the things I bought.
NOTE: All the things were brand new in boxes, I used some of them as you can see in the pix :)

Lipsticks
Strayin' (Frost)LE: From the MAC Hello Kitty Collection. I didn;t relize this was a frost but the color looks so beautiful on my tanned lips. I think its the perfect everyday fuchsia.
Sunsonic (Frost) LE: From the Neo Sci-Fi Collection. It was my first frost lipstick and I didn't relize how hard it feels on lips. The color looks very silvery on my lips but a bit tanner on my hands. I think it a better Bubbles for more tanner people.
Electro (Lustre) LE: From the Neo Sci-Fi Collection. It's Bright orange very similar looking to Morange but seems a bit creamier to me.

Eyeshadows:

Bitter (Velvet) : Vivid green with shimmer. A bit hard to make the color come onto my eyes and hands.
Cool Heat (Frost) LE: Teal with dimensional pearl. Blends very nicely.
Poison Pen (Matte²) LE: Mid-tone purple with grey. This was my first time trying this finish! All I can say is that I LOVE IT. It's soo pigmented and easy to apply.
Femme Fi (Frost) LE: Soft golden yellow. From the Neo Sci-Fi Collection. Perfect color for highlighting.

Blushes
X-Rocks LE: Neo Sci-Fi Sheertone shimmer blush. Shimmery dirty mauve, smooth applies nicely, very creamy.
Intenso LE: Mineralize Blush Duo. Top blush is a marble gold & pink, bottom blush is rose with gold glitters.
Joyous LE: Dark Peach with gold pearl. LOVE IT!

Liner
So There Jade (Powerpoint): Light green jade, looks for bluish to me. Soo beautiful & unique I fell in love with it! Also it doesn't smudge! Still Available!

Lashes
Lash #34: Dramatically long. Wispy. Features a long, winged-corner edge. Still Available!

Lipglass
Soft & Slow (Tinted) LE: Rose with gold pearl

Neon Pink Matte Nail Polish

2010-01-07T07:30:00.006-05:00

I've been getting soo many compliments about my nails lately and its all thanks to La Girls Nail Polishes which I absolutely love! I'm one of those people who usually messes up their nails by doing something silly or putting on too many coats but ever since I tried this brand I didn't have that problem. I do a lot of shopping from Forever21 so I decided to look them up. I found some reviews on Steph's Closet and decided to give it a try since I found the colors to be very unique. After I tried it I was soo amazed that I bought like every single bottle I could find!

The colors I have (starting from the back) are:

Row 1: Hype, Rushed, Pizzazz, Clever, Rumor, Magnetism, Fame, Spunky

Row 2: Irony, Tennis Ball, Nirvana, Wicked, Undressed, Intense, Eureka

Row 3: Indie Rock, Perky, Bittersweet, Blazing Hot, Spicy Salmon, Lights Out, Grey, Celestial Glitter

Row 4: Trigger, Jovial, Vigilant, Intuitive, Zealous, Tinsel Town, Nostalgia, Sea Grass

I took this picture after 1 week any my nail polish hardly chipped. I only put two coats. The thing I love the most about LA Girls Nail Polishes is that you know when they are dry since they quickly turn from liquid to matte-like in a few minutes. I bought my nail polishes from forever21 online and at the stores and boy did I spend a lot on them since I got soo many! They cost $2.80 at Forever21. You can also find them at Urban Outfitters for about $5.00 (same thing maybe different colors) or Cherry Culture for $4.00. I also saw them selling it at some Nail Store in Roosevelt Field Mall, NY for $4.00 I even heard some people got them at the Dollar General. It also seems like there are a bunch of names given for a color by a different seller, so the name I refer to are the names given by Forever21.

Here's my collection of Matte's I got from Forever21. Overall I love this product soo much and it's soo underrated. I'm going to continue updating on more nail polish swatches soon! Thanx for reading!

Fuchsia Lips - MAC Fierce & Fabulous & YSL Provocative Pink

2009-12-26T11:05:00.001-05:00

This is my first Make-Up Review! I just bought some a whole bunch of make-up and I really want to start rating them! I've been wanting to do a fuchsia lips look for a while and yesterday I received three YSL lipsticks in the mail, one of them was the color Provocative Pink.

I love the color, it has a gorgeous blue-ish pink shine to it and the texture is soo creamy that I dont need to put more than two coats. I was experimenting and decided to pair it with a lipgloss that I recently found at a Macys MAC counter, and it was from the Style Warriors Collection. It's Fierce & Fabulous.

Here's how they both look on my lips.

And some swatches on my skin. My skintone is yellow/tan/olivish (NC37-40).

Thanks for reading. :)

This new song is a tribute to Frankie Beverly and Maze, who were legendary soul singers. The video was shot in New York City, 59th Street-Columbus Circle directed by Parris (who also directed Majic). The song is a about a man who did something wrong and can't get over his woman. The lead girl on the video is Maria Milian.

When I first saw the video "Majic" by Joe I thought the video was hot. When I watched it a few more times, I noticed a lot of accessories that I've seen before. Since I did a lot of online shopping this summer I recognized a lot of these accessories. I found Forever21.com to be the site with the most similar looking jewelery. Here are some pictures of the video and the accessories below.

Theses hats seem to be in this fall. Lots of stores like Forever21, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and more stores are getting. This is a hard look to pull off, but I think Paris did a good job.
The cloche hat is a fitted, bell-shaped hat that was popular during the 1920s. Cloche is the French word for bell. The hat is bell-shaped so that's where it's name comes from. It looks very classy yet sleek and vintage at the same time. Here are some Cloche Hats you can find at stores.

Joe On The Wendy Williams Show

2009-08-20T17:12:00.003-04:00

Joe Is Inspirational!

2009-08-14T01:35:00.017-04:00

Some people wonder why I listen to Joe music when its "back-dated" according to some people. I listen to Joe songs because they inspire me in many ways that music these days don't do. It's real music and real R&B or others may refer to this kind of R&B as Soul. And many people think that Joe sings only about sexual things and relationships, but that is not true. His clubbing/fun/popular hits seems to be about things like that but his real songs are much deeper, preferably than the songs these days on the radio like Mario & Gucci Mane - "Break Up".
Here are some inspirational songs to me.

Dental School Anticipation

2009-07-29T21:34:00.016-04:00

My Horoscope for today.
"Suddenly, your career takes center stage."

Overview
Nothing seems to move at the pace you want it to today -- but you can still get work done. It's just that you're not as far along as you'd like, and that could mean that you start to get quite frustrated soon. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I woke up from a nightmare today morning about my career and future plans transitioning to dental/medical school. Even though I still have 3-4 years left to work on it but I want think about it now. So, I woke-up at 5 am and started researching about the Dental Schools in NY and around here and the score I need to receive on the DATs to get accepted. I found the Kaplan site very useful, and I did some sample problems. I learned that there are 4 sections which are Natural Sciences(Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry), Perceptual Ability, Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Reasoning(math). I thought the test was mostly about science. I did a few practice problems, and I got all the Quantitative Reasoning correct and the Reading Comprehension wasn't that bad. The Perceptual Ability section was kind of cool and okay. Since I did not take college level Biology and Organic Chemistry I skipped those and did some General Chemistry problems and I seem to need to brush up on that. I also made a list of books to order.

Kaplan DAT 2009-2010 Edition
Barron's DAT: Dental Admissions Test
The Pre-Dental Guide: A Guide for Successfully Getting into Dental School by Joseph S. Kim
Guide to Medical and Dental Schools by Saul Wischnitzer Ph.D., Edith Wischnitzer

I hope I start studying soon, So I can get a hang of this and not treat this like the SATs!
