Lip Collection

Hi, loves. Welcome back to my blog. So today I am going to be talking a little bit about my lip collection and everything in it. I have a lot so I am not going to go too in depth about each one but it you want to know more about a certain lipstick or lipgloss let me know:) (in no order, either.)
1. Stila Lip Glaze in Apricot 
Seriously love this lip glaze. No gross odor, a little sticky but Stila sells a lot of different colors.
Ulta and Sephora sell these in a 3 pack for I believe $18-$20. Which is perfect because individually they are about $15.
2. This Jumbo sized lip gloss, lol. 
It came in a package with like a perfume or something and oh my gosh…its huge. I believe its from Candies but it says "Flirt! Big Flirt!" and its got a dough foot applicator. Its packaging is super cute. The handle is black, and where the lipgloss is, its got black poke dots! The color I have is 01 Big on Beige. Sparkly, but a neutral color.
3. ELF Moisturizing Lipstick in Pink Mink
By far my favorite pink lipstick. I've bought other lipsticks and they just aren't my lips but better. Kind of a annoying smell but you don't notice it on your lips.
4. My NYX butter gloss collection
I have 6 of these. 3 are my holy grail, creme brûlée. I have Tiramisu which is like a darker version of creme brûlée, Maple Blondie is a high pigmented pinkish/peach color, last; Vanilla Cream Pie is a frosty pink with a little bit of mauve.
5. Victorias Secret Shiny Kiss Flavored Gloss
I had one of these years ago in slice of heaven and yes the name did it justice. I guess they changed the formula because Slice of Heaven and these do not taste the same sadly. However, I have two. First one is in Candy, Baby and is a baby pink with no sparkles. Next is Passion Fruit Pop. A darker kind of reddish color. But it comes out very light and sparkly.
6. Forever 21
First, is my oldest lipgloss lol. Its a nude/pink but comes out clear. Next, is from their newest collection that is in stores now. High Pigment Gloss in Nude. I wouldn't say it is completely matte, but there are no sparkles in it. Now I have two lipsticks and one complaint. Love & Beauty by Forever 21. I got colors Pink and Nude. I like how pigmented they are but they do have some pros and cons. I will make a separate blog for that.
7. MAC BABYYYYY
I have been obsessing over my first mac lipstick and I can't go anywhere without it and just its stunning. I picked up Flamingo by Mac and I love it.

(Left to right) Mac-Flamingo, ELF Pink Minx, Forever 21 lipsticks in Nude and Pink, High Pigment Gloss in nude, Forever 21 in a nude (old), 3 NYX Creme Brûlée, then NYX Tiramisu, then Maple Blondie, and last from NYX Vanilla Cream Pie, VS Passion Fruit Pop and Candy, Baby. Last two are Stila and I believe Candies.

Beauty on the go tips!

Packing make up is the hardest thing for me. I never know what I will need. Here are my tips for travel make up.
1. Don't pack everything
I used to pack a lot of make up and end up not wearing anything but probably 2 products. Pack the things you use everyday. If you wear a lot a make up each day, pick items that are must haves.
2. Travel sizes
Recently, more and more companies are coming out with travels sizes. I love this idea for solo many reasons. My first reason is, their less expensive!!! I am not someone that will spend $30+ on one product. So I love smaller sizes for the less expensive. Second, smaller is better! I love smaller things because they are easier to travel. Smaller sizes definitely save your make up bag more room to fill with your favorite things. Third, if a product has been raved about and you really want to try it, but it's a little more than you'd like to spend, travel sizes are your answer. Yes, they are smaller but if you do not like the product after using it, you won't feel very guilty for splurging.
3. Z Palettes
I love love love this idea for traveling. Instead of taking a bunch of different eyeshadows, you can put them all in the z palette and go. If you do not know what a Z Palette is let me explain. So basically its a "make your own palette" you pick depotted eyeshadows, blushes, concealers, etc. and you put them all into your designed palette. Mac used to have one where there were no tray to hold them and they were just magnetic, and depending on the size of the product you could fit more than the now tray says. Which for Mac theres like a 15, 30 (maybe) and 100. But I found a less expensive place that has already depotted eyeshadows and Z Palettes with the tray. COASTAL SCENTS! Oh my goodness this place literally is the least expensive make up site ever. The depotted eyeshadows are like $1.95 each and they have every color imaginable. So I suggest that site. Also Sephora sells Z palettes but they are black and white striped and cost I believe around $20.
4. Take what you know works for you
Take the make up you know works for you. If you are going to be taking a lot of pictures or need a long wearing foundation, accommodate your needs of where you are traveling. Don't take make up you haven't tried a while and aren't sure if it works for you. Just to be safe.
5. Make sure everything is sealed for safe travels!
The one thing I do when I travel is I tape the lids shut. This is more for shampoo or anything that could possibly spill out. I know its not the most convenient way to do it but it definitely works. Try to keep the lids to anything with a pumper. It saves soooo much hassle.
Hope I helped y'all with traveling! xoxoxoxoxo

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara Review

I clearly have high standards with mascara. 

I recently saw a youtube guru wearing this mascara and I loved how it worked on her eyes, but I don't really like how it worked on mine. 

I have been using the Voluminous Million Lashes, as you probably already know. 

I love the packaging, it was really creative to make it a telescope shape, hints the name. 

The mascara itself, is black noir. The color I bought. 

The brush is a little weird however, its very narrow, and doesn't have long brisells and they are very short and spread out. 

As I put it on it seemed to work like my holy grail mascara, but it was very clumpy at the roots of my eyelashes, but I just kinda wiggled the brush there and pulled it all out. 

Overall, 8/10. Xoxoxo

Easy Summer Look!

Ok so it is summer and I am not into the whole liquid foundation right now. I wore it once and it practically melted off my face. So I have created a light natural summer look for you! :)
1. Well first it is important to properly moisturize your face. I am using Clean N Clear Dual Action Moisturizer.
2. Next I have a few powder foundation products I could chose. Starting from drugstore to high end.
-Nyx Stay Matte but not flat powder foundation in Soft Beige
-Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in medium sand
-bareMinerals Original SPF 15 Foundation in fairly medium
-Mac Studio Fix powder in NW25
-Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in medium plus
3. I bronze up my face a little bit with my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil in milk chocolate
4. I have been liking a more darker cheek so I have been reaching for my Estee Lauder blush in Assuring Rose
5. For summer I don't usually wear eyeshadow because I sweat and it just comes right off even if I used a primer. So I just take some of my studio fix powder and a bush and do my eye, covering up my veins that show through in my eyes.
6. For mascara I (of course) use my holy grail L'OREAL Voluminous Million Lashes in black
7. If I so a natural look I will most likely use Creme Brûlée from Nyx.
So that is my quick and easy make up look for when I actually wear make up in the summer time, lol.

Huge NYX Haul!

Hiiii (: after a few weeks away I am backkk!!! On Sunday I got an email from Ulta saying Nyx, L'Oreal, Physicians Formula, and Nuetrogena products  were all 40% off. So yes I totally went and picked up a few goodies. (Also the sale lasts from June 29th, till Sunday July 5th. Go pick up some goodies!)
1. L'oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black Noir $5.99
I have been wanting this mascara for such a long time. But it was about $10 and I wasn't feeling that. So I when I saw it on sale for $5.99 so I got it.
2. Nyx Pore Filler $8.39
I have been looking for a dupe for Benefit PoreFessional and I wasn't sure how much this item was but it ended up only being like $2 less than porefessional. But thats okay! This is a 0.67 fl.oz so it is more than the sample size of the porefessional.
3. Nyx HD Photogenic Concealer $2.99
I accidentally picked up an opened concealer thinking all of them didn't have seals, well when I opened it to test it once I got home it was messy inside like someone had been playing in it and it was not the right color. I will have to return it and get a lighter color. The color is CW06 Glow. Its orangey, so it would look better on someone with a darker complexion.
4. Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil $2.69
I had to replace this from one I had bought months ago, and a girl I used to be friends with stole it, and three other make up items. Anyways, I love it. It's very pigmented and I'm excited to use it.
5. Nyx Butter Gloss in Vanilla Cream Pie $2.99
I have several different colors from the collection of butter glosses and I loveee this color paired with my E.LF. Pink Minx lipstick. Its a glossy pink. It's like my lips but better type of color. I can not really say it is pigmented without a lipstick. It should be paired. :)
6. Nyx Blush in Mocha $3.59
From the name I was expecting a darkish red toned blush, but nope it's a baby pink. Which I don't mind I will just have to get used to it. lol
7. Nyx Hot Singles Eyeshadow in Lace $2.69
This is a matte nude eyeshadow, perfect with any look.
8. Nyx Hot Single Eyeshadow in Damage Control $2.69
This is a dark purplish mauve toned color with sparkles. It looks great with Lace. I used Damage Control as a crease color and then take a little of the light matte purple from the Naked 2 palette.

So this is all from my "Ulta" Haul. I do plan to go back to pick up some other things that are on sale. I will be doing a full review on the Telescopic Mascara next.
Tweet me suggestions for future posts! xoxoxo
