Hime Gyaru

OMG i love it , luv luv luv LUV... i think this style is so super cute, tho 2 dramatic for me, i think if it was toned down a little bit it would b perfect >_> i can only imagine what ppl would say if i walked around the mall like this.. but in my opnion, the way ppl in asia express their style and theres no rules, i think it should b like that here :/

revlon just bitten lip stain

ok this is the shade "berry juicy" and i have 2 admit, i really like this, it gives u that " i just had a makeout session" flushed lips, literally just bitten lol.... i myself have been kinda timid of darker lips and just more bold lip colors, so i tried this, and i added just a little bit, and let it sit so itd stain, then buffed it a bit, and i loved how it barely flushes ur lips... but when i add clear gloss over it i dont like it 2 well, it seems like it accentuates the little lines on ur lips, but when u use it just as a stain, i like it alot.... its not something id run out and get, but if ur ever looking 2 try something new id def give this a shot, and i believe it was a bout $8 when i bought it.

Monistat anti chaffing gel as a primer???

yup yup, monistat anti chaffing gel as a primer... now alot of girls are so iffy about this, and seem 2 be embarassed about putting monistat gel on ur face, haha, well yea this does sound funny, but it works wonders!... this is very compareable 2 smashbox photofinish primer.. which i used, and it broke my skin out terribly, possibly bc of the silicone in it, so i tried this as an alternative, i had heard of many girls using this, i so did my mineral foundation and i put this primer on one side and no primer on the other side, and using this made my makeup go on so much more smooth!, the mineral foundation blended seamlessly together im on my 2nd tube of it now, the first tube lasted me about 4 months, so thats pretty good for only $6 for 1.5oz compared 2 smashbox primer $36 for 1oz

and for girls who are worried about breakouts, as i mentioned b4, i have acne prone skin, alot of things i use will give me a blemish, and i this hasnt broken my skin out at all.. i definately reccomend this 2 everyone, its not only good for liquid foundation, but any foundation, including powder foundation, definately go buy this!!!

part 2 of skincare review

ok this is part 2 of my skincare, i use this day and night except the 3 days i use part 1..

ive only had this for a week, and i got it free for a bday gift, its by neostrata skincare and theyre known for their aha skincare... i recieved the gel cleanser, night restoring cream and day spf 15 lotion, and treatment masque gel

this kit is awesome, idk how 2 explain it but i used it at night and when i woke up my skin was glowing... for almost a yr ive been trying all different kind of skincare 2 perfect my skin, and i think this might be it, i know im definately gonna buy the full size products once my sample runs out, no matter how much it cost...

...my skin is so soft afterwards and it dosent dry it out at all... im gonna have 2 try it for 2 weeks b4 i even let u all know how well it really works, but so far omg im in love, thats why im jumping the gun 2 wanna buy the full products lol hehe lol...

so ill def get back 2 yall and let u know how this works, but i can actually say, im excited about this skincare lol

part 1 of skincare review

well this is more of a 2 part skincare review, this is the first part ( 3 days a week, daytime, and time of the month lol)

ok, where 2 start, i really realy like the cleanser, but its not a miracle working product, like it doesnt really change and perfect my skin, it helps with breakouts and blackheads, especially now that its summer, and my skin can get oily ...

biore ice cleanser: its pretty good, helps alot with breakouts and i love how it gets cool on ur skin like minty, maybe its menthol idk.. and my skin doesnt get tight, but i do notice that my skin can get a bit dry sometimes.

biore astringent : ok, tbh no matter what atringent i use it seems 2 work with my skin lol, this seems pretty good, but im my opinion if u already have a astringent or toner u like u should just stick with what u have, i pry wont purchase this again unfortunately

biore pore unclogging scrub: alright, this ill never buy again, for a scrub, it barely has any "beads" in it so it doesnt really exfoliate at all, so i stopped using this and have stuck with my at ives scrub ... this is a dud in the line, tho girls with super sensitive skin seem 2 say this works good, i on the other hand dont like this at all :/ a big thumbs down 2 biore from me >_>

iman eyeshaow in "african Violet"

well just recently ive been wanting 2 try plum eyeliner, so i went 2 ULTA and bout the ulta liner in PLUM, welli like 2 buy powder 2 match bc i find it easier when i wanna smoke out my liner...

so here i am going up and down the rows of cosmetics, i looked at everything. stila, urban decay, lorac, ulta, lola, studio gear, too faced, bare minerals, everything, and at the end i came 2 IMAN , and i saw the most perfect purple shadow i have ever seen, now ur pry wondering " why was it so hard 2 find a deep plum shadow?" well i wanted a plum shadow, but one that didnt have many red/burgundy undertones) and this shadow doesnt have it at all, its a true deep purple hue, the only "red" is a barely there shimmer but i can barely see it unless i go super close under a bright light lol... i love this and ive tried it and it looks so pretty...

they say purples are the one shade that really bring out all eye colors and this really makes my eyes pop, its also very pigmented, it was $8 and the sie of the mac shadows tho im not sure if its any deeper (.07oz or 2g).. this plum color can be as soft or dramatic as u want, it, if u want a dramatic liner without beng as harsh as black this is awesome 2 try!

Loreal Voluminous Marker eyeliner

well im a person who cant do liquid liner for crap hehe , idk why but ive never been able 2, my hand isnt steady with liquid liner, so ive been using fluidline from mac, well 1 its pricey and 2 it never turned out very soft...

so i saw this in cvs the other day and thought, hmmmm, so i bought it, in black, and tried it at home and i lined my eyes perfectly! i couldnt believe it, ive had this for 3 days and for the first time i can line my eyes with this and it stays all day thru my work shift ..

..so needless 2 say i went back and bough it in blackbrown...

the only thing that concerns me is..well first let me say this really is a marker, not a felt tip pen, it looks like a caligraphy marker, im wondering if the particles from my eyeshadow will get on it and cause it not 2 go on smooth.. ill have 2 do an update in a few weeks, but so far this is perfect! 10 for 10 def buy this, its only $5 each

Everyday minerals sample kit

i ordered this sample kit awhile back but when i did i had just bought studio fix fluid, so i just let it set there, OMG CRAZY ME !





I got :





weekend getaway blush :

medium tan, golden medium, and medium beige foundation

intensive tan concealer

my sister purchased the same kit but the intensive formula, i bought semi matte, and i noticed that the intensive medium tan was a tad darker then my semi matte medium tan

if u can guess by now, medium tan was my perfect match, now ive tried many many mineral foundations, and this is the only one that not only had good coverage but also went on smoothly and didnt look all cakey....

and my own personal trick, i mix ( in the large mixing jar for $2) 1 part intensive and 1 part original glow, a good deal is the 6pc custom kit, and thanks 2 "itsliz89" i bought all foundations, great deal ! this mineral foundation gives u the glow like bare minerals, but not the "tin man sheen" like they give lol....

espically now that summer is here, this is an awesome alternative 2 reg liquid foundation, because if u do sweat or ur skin gets oily it seems 2 only help ur foundation melt even more with ur skin, where as liquid foundation gets all gooey and icky ...

i know alot of ppl set theirs wit fix+ spray or toner as an alternative.. but im in florida and on days its humid, i dont do that bc im 20min my skin gets, idk, clammy? and the foundation melds with my skin anyways, but when i do use a toner/fix+ i use nivea moisturizing toner, and it works wonders, also, if u can order maybe 2 sample kits, u should definately try their blush, i have weekend getaway and yes they look pale in the little jar but on ur skin they darken and are so soft and smooth looking, like ur cheeks are really flushing

this is the BEST mineral foundation ive tried and u should really give this a try, esp if u order the sample kit for $4

TIGI Catwalk Honey and Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner

ok, well et me start off with saying ihave very dry hair, and it can get frizzy, so i def need something that adds moisture and softens, and this shampoo and conditioner really does it.... after using just the shampoo i could feel my hair is alot softer, and with conditioner on top of that? wow i loved this stuff..

... and as a bonus, this smells so so yummy , but 2 me it smells more like gingerbread cookies, either way, gingerbread or oatmeal and honey, it smells good lol :) at ULTA its i think 20 something ea? but i bought it on sale for 10 ea, tbh i pry wouldntt ever buy this again unless its onsale, no matter how much i like it, bc i think over 20 for a shampoo is a bit crazy lol....

so if u can swing the $$$ for it id def buy it, if not, ive had good luck with john friedas line

so i give this a 8, downfall, just the price :(

Mineralized SkinFinish Natural

Mineralized Skinfinish Natural:

Well this is a definite rave! OMG well first of all, many people say this products gives u a glow, and I agree it does, but don’t mistake glow for shimmers, yes theres shimmers in it but when I wear this I cant seen anything shimmery but my skin looks glowy, that’s why I love this product so so much, i myself purchased the medium dark which i believe is the first powder on the 2nd row of the above picture, im an NC44


its awesome if u want lighter coverage, and even better as a setting powder, I myself use this 2 apply over my mineral makeup, when I leave the house I don’t feel right if I havent used my MSF, hehe.. This is a definite buy for everyone, GO BUY THIS !!!!

as far as applying this, i usually use a kabuki brush when im doing mineral foundation, it seems like it buffs it down into the mineral makeup, and for setting i use a large powder brush, BUT if i just use it on its own, then i like using my 187( if u cant afford the 187, coastalscents.com offers an awesome stippling brush)

if u look at the picture it looks like a smooth powder, but it actually does have veining in it


so from 1-10, 1 being terrible, i give this product a.... 9.5! half a point off bc of the limited color choice >_>
