October Favorites & Flops

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my favorite products for October. I can't believe we are already in November and Christmas is next month. I'm really not ready for all of the holiday madness. Luckily, I have every Friday off for the next two months so I'll have some time to prepare and get caught up on blogging/YouTube stuff. I have been testing out new products non stop since Gen Beauty NYC in Sept. All of my beauty favorites are new besides 1 product. I also have one flop. Check out my video below to see what I was loving last month!

Spring Beauty Favorites

Hey Guys,
I don't know about you but after a long and cold winter I am always super excited for the Spring and warmer weather. Aside from a different wardrobe, my beauty items/makeup tends to change a little as well. Although I am mainly a fan of neutrals, I do add a little more color to my looks. Peach and pink shades tend to sneak their way into my makeup looks. Check out some of my favorite beauty products for the spring!

My Makeup Collection

Hey Guys,
I've been thinking about doing a makeup collection post for a while but wasn't sure if I should do one or not. I didn't want people to think I am bragging or anything so I was hesitant at first. After talking to a few people, they said that they enjoyed reading/watching makeup collections. So, instead of doing a post with a bunch of pictures, I decided to film a makeup collection video. I started collecting makeup back in 2005 when I started working in the cosmetics department at Macy's. Over the years I have got rid of alot of makeup but I've also added a ton too. My collection has REALLY grown over the past few years when I started blogging. One thing that I do want people to know is that no one really needs THIS much makeup. It's a hobby of mine but is no where a realistic amount of makeup. That being said....

To see my makeup collection, click the video below!

*Not included in this video is my purse full of lippies! If you want me to do an updated, What's in my Purse? video let me know below!

Thanks for watching!

Review: Meet Matt(e) Nude Palette

Hi Ladies,

Today I am going to review another theBalm product, Meet Matte Nude. This palette includes 9 matte shades that are soft and blend wonderfully. You can definitely create some full eye looks with this palette but I tend to use one or two of these shades along with other palettes. I love the humor that comes along with this palette. Between the "size matters" phrase on the front, to some of the name of these colors, I find this sexual kind of humor funny. 

Anyways, on to the palette:

As you can see, these shadows are pretty big. I haven't used all of the colors, but I am really liking the ones that I have used.

Review: The Balm Nude'tude Palette and Hot Mama Blush

Hi Ladies!

After waiting almost a month for my theBalm products, I finally got them! I ordered these products on Hautelook for 50% off (I think). Before I talk about the products, I want to share my experience with ordering with Hautelook.

 I was not happy with how long these products took to ship. What made me so mad is the fact that I ordered these on March 7th and was charged for them on March 10th. I didn't get them until mid April. The customer service reps that I spoke with on several occasions could not give me a ship date. They did credit my shipping and gave me a $10.00 credit towards my account.  I did appreciate that since this was not a good first experience with purchasing from Hautelook. After continually being told that my items would ship any day now (and they didn't), I asked to speak to a manager. After being in contact with a manager, my experience was more pleasant. She called me and updated me a couple times which made me feel a little better about the situation. I am a bit nervous about ordering with them again but I may give them one more try since this was a fantastic deal.

On to the products....

Nude'tude Palette

These shadows are mainly shimmers and glitters with a few matte shadows. The colors are neutral/basic colors that range from pink/peach to browns, taupe, burgundy, and black. The shadows are very creamy and pigmented and blend very nicely. You can easily create a full eye look with these colors. You can create very natural looks to very dramatic ones.

Bloggers Made Me Buy It

Hi Ladies!

The amazing Shalunya from Shalunya and Boyet tagged me in a fun post going around called "Bloggers Made Me Buy It". Basically you tag which bloggers have influenced your purchases and what those products were. Once you tag those bloggers, they would do the same post and keep the chain going.

The Beauty Crown Awards that I participated in with a bunch of these ladies was DEFINITELY a big factor in my current and future purchases below.
