MAC Heavenly Creature Collection

Hellooo!

Long time, no post!

So on Tuesday, I saw that MAC Heavenly Creature Collection had gone up online. I was sooooo excited and as much as I wanted to buy everything in sight. I only bought two. (Now that I see the quality and how much I love them, I am definitely getting more!) Now, I loveeee mineralized products. I know some people don't but I really love them- especially this collection! If you like matte products (i.e. not satin finish, not glittery or shimmery), this collection probably isn't for you. 

So the two that I picked up were the Star Wonder MSF and Solar Ray Mineralized blush. I really wanted to pick up Super Nova Blush but it was already sold out by the time I got on Tuesday! That one is definitely going to be a hottttt seller! 

So first up is Star Wonder Mineralize Skin FInish. This is a beautiful pink with gold and bronze shimmer. For me, I use this with a stippling brush and it works perfectly. Its super pigmented, so a light hand works best! I really like this one. I don't know how necessary it is depending on the pinks in your stash. This is necessary for me because I love the golden shimmer in it and the finish is amazeeeee. 

NOW THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! I really wish the pictures did it more justice. It is seriously the most beautiful orange-peach color with golden glitter. The glitter particles in this are a little bit bigger but I don't find them to end up all over my face like my NARS Super Orgasm. I do find that I have to use a denser blush brush, rather than a stippling brush because it's not quite as pigmented as Star Wonder and I'm more medium/tan so I need a bit more pigmentation. 

Overall, I just love this collection. In my opinion, a lot of the products have gold, bronze warm undertones which compliment my skin AMAZINGLY. I also lean towards glittery, shimmery, satin face products so this product was indeed sent from heaven!

June Glam Bag

Sooo... My Glam Bag came in! 

I was eagerly anticipating this one, knowing that a NYX lipstick would be in it.

I can never have enough of those! 

So this months bag came with:

*NXY Round Lipstick in Power

*Marbella Permanent (? permanent is a little extreme) eyeliner

*Philosophy Take a Deep Breath moisturizer

*Living Proof. frizz Nourishing Styling Cream (which isn't pictured here.. sorry!)

So first of all... let me just say I freaking adore the bag. I could care less if it was probably less than a dollar to make! I LOVE anything gold... anything glittery... so when you combine those two... you make this girl happy! I'll probably throw this in my purse and use it for pens and pencils or something! This is the first bag from Myglam that I will actually use, so that right there is already a step up! 

 (I used the Marbella liner in this picture and am wearing NYX Power Lipstick!)

On to the Lipstick, well I love it. I think that sums that up. I really was hoping I'd get Orange Soda, but I love this one anyway. I'll just go buy orange soda. 

The Marbella eyeliner is nice. It's seems to work pretty effortlessly. When I first started using eyeliner, I gravitated to the felt tip pens so I'd say it's pretty easy for beginners. I haven't tested the so-called "permanent" staying power lol, but I'm guessing it will fair well if they are willing to use that word for it. I do like it. I don't thing anything will ever replace my Urban Decay 24/7 liner. That stuff is my holy grail... and holy cow I've never used "HG" to describe anything.. although now that I think about it... I have a couple of HG products. 

Ok, Philosophy.. I love. I think their brand is pretty awesome when it comes to my skin care. I had never tried this Take a Deep Breath moisturizer. I do like it. I think it would be good for oil skin because it's really lightweight and is absorbed into the skin quickly. I used this right before putting my makeup on ( I had used another moisturizer this morning) and it gave my skin a nice pick me up. I definitely don't think this is enough alone for someone with dry skin, like myself. 

Now the last product, Living Proof. frizz Nourishing Styling Cream, I have yet to use. I was going to use it this morning until I read the instructions and it says to apply to clean, damp hair... well my hair was dry and already styled so that product will have to wait until tomorrow! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this little review!

My Take: Hard Candy - Take it all Off

Hi everyyyoonee! I hope your weekend was amazing and safe!! <33 

I wanted to get this review up because I've been using this product and this weekend kind of solidified that this really ISN'T all that. 

Soooooo.... this weekend, I decided to wear A LOT of glitter (Yes I LOVEEE glitter.. sue me) and wore my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE eyeliner- 24/7 Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner. Well... I was really hoping this product would show me up and take off my makeup easily... but sadly no! 

So first of all, a little about the product:

*The smell of this is definitely interesting.. at first it smells sweet... like coconuts almost but then there's this weird chemical smell that lingers. 

*The texture is very creamy.

*The packaging is nice and sanitary (compared to my ponds cold cream), you just squeeze the product out of the tube.

* I believe this product was somewhere around $5.

So anyways, enough about that. Let's talk about how it works....

Well it would probably work pretty well work non-waterproof makeup. However, I wear a lot of waterproof eye-makeup, really stubborn makeup, and this just takes wayyyyyyyy too much work to get it all off. I literally have to keep rubbing for my eyeliner and mascara to come off and I DEFINITELY do not want to be rubbing my eyes... negative. Eventually, all my waterproof makeup does come off but with just too much work. I think if you are someone that doesn't wear stubborn makeup, it's a pretty cheap makeup remover. However, if you are like me and like makeup that basically would stay put through a hurricane... this isn't for you. I was disappointed because I had high hopes for this product... but on to the hunt for a better make up remover! 

New Hair!!

So, one thing you will probably notice if you've watched me since I started my channel in November is I like to change my hair color....A LOT!! So once again, I wanted a new change. I really liked the blonde I had but was getting lazy with going to the salon for upkeep... So I decided yesterday to dye it at home myself! I went ahead and picked up the John Freida Foam Hair color!

Now originally, I was going to dye my whole head but instead of completely getting rid of my blonde, I decided to keep my ombre hair! I am really happy with the way it came out!!

Now for my little mini review on the foam hair color! I did like it. I think it made working with hair color much easier because it's harder to miss a spot with the foam. However, two downfalls and probably only one for anyone who actually reads directions! 

1) I shook this up like I would a regular hair dye... WRONGO! It made it super liquidy which kind of defeated the purpose of foam... It still foamed but was quite liquidy... It said in the instructions to lightly tilt and not to shake and well of course I was mid shaking the hell out of that thing by then... 

2) Now this is probably only because of my mistake of shaking it, but it was quite messy. I got it all over the floor and my counter top... luckily it came out quite easily!

3) Last thing... the conditioner it came with wasn't all that great but now I'm just being nitpicky. 

The color was pretty much what the box said it would be and I loved how shiny it made my hair. The kit came with everything I needed and I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have shaken it profusely, it would have worked great! So definitely worth giving a shot.
