June 2011 Favorites

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!

May 2011 Favorites

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! :)

May Favorites!

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.

April Favorites!

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.
