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.
