Ipsy Bag

Hello, hello... anyone around??? I know it's been forever, but i have tons of excuses. As my "comeback" ill be showing you what I got in this months glam bag/ ipsy bag.

(bloggers make photography looks easy, and its not lol) 

I got the pumpkin facial mask, Mica shimmer powder in 17 Bronze, Pacifica BB cream, a kosher lip balm and a lash booster.

Nothing different, nothing exciting except for the micheal todd face mask. I've seen other bags and they got high end primers and UD lipsticks, which is really nice. 

Are u subscribed to the ipsy bags? Let me know what u got and what you think about it. Hasta la vista!. 

Haul

Hey chicas, so this is my first haul or more like a collective haul since I didn't buy everything at the same time. Anywho, I've been meaning to show you guys what I purchased for the longest time, I'm even leaving out a lot of stuff bc so much time has passed since I got it. BTW, I didn't know that the makeup was SO cheap at walmart.
let me show you what I got...

ever since they came out I wanted to try them but I always found an excuse to not buy it, until I saw that wallie had it for $5.89 its not gonna get any cheaper. 

above is the london soho new york. its the foundation and blush brush $7.97 its very soft, which is good.

these little polishes are the cutest thing i've seen in a while, the colors are so pretty I can't find words to describe so I kinda swatched it. From left to right we have shocking seas, tenacious teal and purple icon.( $2.50 each)

on my thumb I have purple gleam by milani, the first pic isn't true to color. 

Im really excited to try this mascara. 

I went to lush, just to look, it was my first time there and I got a toner water, a face mask and a sample of a moisturizer. (together it was around $17)

lastly I went to CVS and saw the BB cream which I wanted to try since summer in South Florida makes you want to stay far far far away from foundations or anything in the makeup family. It's $10 but I had a $3 coupon yay for me lol and the super stay makeup by maybelline and lastly the physicians formula, they were on sale for $7.99 each. I'm very excited to try everything. 

 This was my little haul, hope u enjoyed it. If you've tried any of these product please let me know your thoughts on them. xo

2 in 1

Hola Queridas..

so today i'll be lazy and do a 2 in 1 post... showing the goodies i got in my glam bag and the ones I won in Jessica's giveaway :D

Let's start off with Jess. 

so I won the 3 piece liquid eyeliner set, lip balm spf 15 in shade rose and a pair of whispy lashes.. I love every single thing, I'm totally obsessed with the silver eyeliner, u take a few minutes popping it on and u look like u really gave it your all. (((and I say minutes bc as u can see in the pic the applicators dont give a sharp line, so I have to wait till it dries to go over it again))). 

The balm is very convenient bc it's skinny enough to keep it in your pocket, it moisturizes and also gives a hint of color.. With that being said, THANKS JESS FOR HOSTING YOUR GIVEAWAYS, HOPE I KEEP WINNING lol

on to part 2 of the post.... MY GLAM BAG.

In the June glam bag there was 4 items but I dnt know where the other one went lol

I really like the gold bag, its not the best bag but its cute.

I got a moisturizer, NYX lipstick and Marbella liquid eyeliner.

I was excited for this bag bc I love the pic of Andrea jeje not only that but its my first NYX item and I've been eyeing them for a while. The eyeliner is nothing to be excited about since the tip is kind of chunky and I swatched it on my arm and the ink creased away in my fine lines -.- only good thing is that it does smudge after it dries.

and lastly the moisturizer, its works amazing for my skin, it doesn't claims to do anything for oily skin but my face is not as oily as it was before. I'm sure I'll purchase the full size of this.

Ok girlies, thanks for stopping by and have an awesomeeeeeee week xoxo

btw, thanks for following, when I saw 10 followers i got excited, I giggle everytime I remember.

Nail Bling.

Hey girlfriends,
Two weeks ago I was moving and broke a couple nails so I was bombed bc I had a lot planned for them. anyways, I came across these nail bling that I got in my first glam bag and gave them a go.

i'll start off by saying that I give them a 3.5 of 5.

PRO's

• They are shinny, but not too girly ((which I love bc I'm not a girly girl at all)) 
• They are so easy to put on and since they're stickers, they are not going to smudge/move if you touch it by mistake. 
• I've had them on for about 5 days and they still look good

CON's

• When I ran my fingers thru my hair, my hair stayed stuck on the blings (even after 3 coats of top coat??? goshh that sentence sounds weird, but u know what I mean) 
• My fingernail tip were not really covered (not sure if my fault) so my nails kept breaking
• In my opinion they dnt fit my nails appropriately, some are not wide enough, others are too wide

I'll leave you with some not too awesome pics of my teeny tinny nails lol

Thanks for reading and have an awesome weekend xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

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......

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?  

Galaxy Nails

Hey lovely gals... I just wanted to share with you all that I tried out the galaxy nails look that I saw for the first time on Andrea's YT channel and after on Jessica's blog so I decided I wanted to do it myself.. I haven't done my nails in like 6 months eeeww lol anyways let me just show you what it looks like.

From left to right: Not so blueberry by Revlon. Black on Black by Sinful colors, Aqua also by sinful colors, Twinkle by E.L.F., and multi care base+top coat and liquid quick dry by Revlon 

Starting off I used Revlon's multi care base+top coat, then black on black by sinful colors, then with a sponge I dab the aqua color in the middle and some of the not so blueberry and topped it off with some glitta and liquid quick dry, got it??? no?? lol just watch Andrea's tutorial. It's not as "galaxy-ish" as I wanted but i guess it's bc my nails are short.

I really like how this nail looks

Btw, the revlon not so blueberry smells SO good after it dries, like a candy.. the smell is so yummy I even liked my nails lmao but it doesn't taste like anything :( 

anyway thanks for reading, have an awesome day. 

Good Night.

Hello lovely ladies... So I wanted to use my blogger app on my iPhone and since I'm having a difficult time falling asleep I decided to write what was on my mind!.

As I type this I have drakes take care album on blast and I can't get my taught together lol anyway I'm still not good expressing myself or writing but I'm an awesome rambler lol

So I just washed my face, moisturize and put some lip balm on.. While I was doing that I realized that I only wash and moisturize my face at night, since I have oily face it's super annoying to do this in the mornings as well bc if I wash my face it feels way to dry and after I moisturize it feels too oily, so in the mornings all I do is take ONE teeny tiny drop of my clean and clear to get the excess oil off my face .. This really sounds gross lol but it really works for me... So if you have time to comment let me know what's your cleansing routine or however you call it, and what moisturizer you use.

Btw, I apologize for my awful English, I'm still in the process of learning and autocorrect can't do everything by its self lol ..

Good night ❤,
~LonM.
