7 Deadly Sins of Beauty TAG

Hello everybody.
I saw this tag going around on YT for a while now and I wanted to do it, but since i'll never have the courage to do a video, i'll just do it here lol 

1. GREED: Whats your most inexpensive item that you like, and your most expensive that you like?

  • my inexpensive item that I like would have to be the elf blushes ((I only own mellow mauve, but i'm sure if I get more i'd love them too)) they're only $3 and very pigmented. Its a burnt rosey pink, its very settled on darker skin tones, i guess it'll be like a contouring shade on lighter gals. I like the $1 brushes but after a while they start shedding ((that word sounds so weird, i'm not even sure if its a word)) 


  • my most expensive is the UD naked 2 palette.it retails for $50. I.LOVE. IT. lets start off by saying that it holds in my makeup bag ((its either really small or my MU bag is too big lol)) I love colors but i'm always in a rush so I stick to neutrals, I can do anything and everything with this palette. 

2. WRATH:What beauty product do you have a love/hate relationship with?
  • My MUFE HD foundation -.- i love it bc it blends effortlessly and (sometimes) it matches my skin like no other... the hate part comes in at that  "sometimes" mentioned before, I think I'm a chameleon! my skin changes all the time, one month the foundation match, the other month its too light or too dark. And lets not even talk about the fact that it doesn't do anything positive for my oily skin. 




3. GLUTTONY: What is your most delicious beauty product?
  • This was easy.. the first thing that came to my mind was my N.Y.C extreme lip glider lip gloss in big apple red. I'm here smelling it to be able to describe the scent, but I just can't figure it out. To me it's like green apples, but my cousin said it smells like strawberry.   


4. SLOTH: What product do you neglect due to laziness? 
  • I neglect everything bc I dnt use makeup on a daily basis, but when I do I skip the Eye shadow! done. Next question please. 


5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most confidence.
  • Concealer. my skin is not the best, but I dont mind showing my flaws. I just need to get rid of my under eye darkness and chao, i'm out. 







6. LUST: What attributes do you find attractive in the opposite sex?
  • i love a guy with a nice butt.. lmao jk.. ok im not kidding, but more than butts i like straight teeth/ nice smile, sense of humor. BTW, I've noticed lately that shy guys people catch my attention. I feel the need to talk to them.. 
7. ENVY: What item would you like to receive as a gift?
  • Lets start off by saying that i hate gifts, bc then I feel like I have to give them back something and I hate that feeling.. I like when I give ppl stuff bc I want and not bc I feel like I have to.. know what I mean? To answer the question i'd like a pair or hand bag from LV bc ill never splurge on it lol 

pheww! this is a long one.. but I'm trying to be a girl of few words (not working lol)

So, I tag......
Amelea ( lusciousx )
Monica (Beautystylesxo)

Thanks for visiting, have an awesome week xoxo

Still Got The Blues

Hello chicas, so here's my weekend nails... I forgot to take a pic of the one I had during the week :( anywho, this is BLUE by forever 21 and before I purchased it I was preparing for the worst but surprisingly it's pretty good. You only need one coat to get the job done, but I did two just bc that's what I'm used to. I apologize for the messiness, I totally forgot to clean up (as usual) thanks for stopping by, see next time xo

MyGlam: Love is in the air.


Hey chicas, I got home this afternoon and checked the mail box and look what was in there! oohh yes, my glam bag. I was so excited. This is my first month, they sent me an email saying the bag would be here in the middle part of the month and I've been waiting for it since the month started lol 

*I assume everyone knows what my glam is, but in case you don't it's a monthly subscription where subscribers receive a bag with deluxe samples and a full sized beauty products all for $10 a month.*

With that being said, let me show a closer look of what I got. I knew I going to get a lipstick because in the email the had pictures with tons of lipsticks but for some reason I was expecting a red one, I wanted to do a look around the lipstick, now i don't lol 
*right: with flash/ left: without flash*

The lipstick is by studio gear, its called Burnished Rose and its a frost. it's very similar to my skin tone so it looks like an orangy lipgloss on me. Sadly either of the pictures show what the product actually looks like. 


These are the myglam concealer brush and defining eyeliner brush. I can't say much, but the concealer brush I used it as a lip brush bc its kind of too small for concealing in my opinion.


Last but not least I got the Philosophy Love sweet love spray and miss beauty nail bling. The fragrance is fruity, very fruity. You either love it or hate it.. I can't stop smelling it, but for all the wrong reasons lol and I was measuring my nails on the nail bling and almost all of them get half way to the hearts, so they will look like broken hearts lol 

Btw, excuse the pictures, I know they're not that hot, but its kind of hard to hold the camera with on hand, the products with the other and expect and awesome pic lol. anywho, what's your favorite monthly subscription membership??? Thanks for visiting :) Have an awesome day.

Review: SEPHORA anti-shine primer

Hello girly girls, since I'm home today I decided to hit off the dust off my bloggy. Like a month ago I purchased the sephora anti-shine primer since i was running low on the elf one that for some reason I still have, I was a little skeptical about it at first because for some reason I've never liked the sephora brand, why? idk. So since i didn't why I thought it would be good to give them a try.
So here's what the packaging looks like.

Let me start off by saying that at first I thought the packaging looked a little cheap but I actually like this bottle better than other primers i've had.. know what I mean? It's easy to manage how much product you take out, so you don't really waste anything.
((((((OMG i just went on the sephora website to see the price.. I paid $18 + tax and you know what?? It's on sale for $5. I almost cried lol )))))))
getting back on track, my first impression was NOT a good one due to the fact that Sephora claims that this primer guarantees an immediate action for a perfectly matte skin for 8 hours. Since I have super oily skin I wasn't expecting my face to be matte for 8 hrs.
So here is how it went, since this is supposed to be a primer I used it by itself under my foundation and I immediately had a matte face as they said, but it didn't even last an hour, my face looked like a disco ball. I kept using it like that for a while, then I started to use it over my elf primer and life got better. yup! When I use it with a primer under it, my face lasted like 2 hours before I had to run to my blotting papers, my face wasn't completely matte but I only had to blot my T-zone and dust on my oil control powder, my face lasted like 5 more hours ( the powder did the magic lol)


As you can see above, the primer comes out white but after you rub it in there's no sign of primer, the only way you know it was there is because your face will feel matte.
The elf primer is more like a silicon base which is recommended to people with oily face and the sephora primer is light weight, liquidy formula, so I assumed that's why it wasn't working so well for me. 
To finish up this post, I would rate this primer 3.5/5 and won't re-purchase. 

With that being said I think I covered every thing, If I didn't feel free to leave a comment and I would like to know what your favorite primer?
