Feb. Favs!

Hey Lay-days! This is obviously so late but whatever, they were still my favorites for February so I hope you like!!

Revlon Colorstay- This Product i have been hearing so much about, and i really wanted to get the FEMU HD but since it is absolutely expensive, I decided to go for the cheaper choice....Well like a had a choice to begin with! So I mean this is a nice foundation. I use a Foundation brush to apply, instead of my fingers, and I would love to say that it dosent matter, but honestly if you do have to invest in something, invest in good brushes. I mean I get all my brushes from Mark. or Avon. They have all the basic brushes, for example they dont have a crease brush, they just have an "eye shadow" brush. It works just as fine, as the month goes on I would like to do some FOTD or LOTD so you will see how it all looks. For now, here's like a little taste. Oh BTW is does not have a pump so don't I try to put a little bit on my brush and work with it! Oh yeah and I got the combination/oily skin one but they do have one for people w/ dry/combination skin too!

AVON Superfull Mascara- Can I just say, my Lashes are really long! That is not what I look for in a mascara, I look for volume! I order a new mascara every campaign from avon, just because I like to replace my old one, and I bought the smooth minerals mascara this campaign, and I keep on going back to my SuperFull Mascara! It is to eee-longate my lashes but i think it also increases my volume-osity. Below is pic of the brush (duh) So I mean the brush is clearly to elongate, but dont let it fool you! Great for volume if yah ask me!

Bronzer Brush- Going back to investing in a brush, do it! when I say invest, I dont mean spending $50 on a brush. I obviously can't tell people what to do, but if you do want my opinion all you need is $8. I got mine from Mark. They also have great brushes at Rite-Aid for a good price. Make sure you clean your brushes every week (depending on how often you use them) Everybody that reads my blog probably already knows all this, but in case yah don't I thought you should!

Usher For Women- I got this for Christmas, I just love it here's the description: 
"It has top notes of red currant, pink freesia and apple blossom; a heart of frangipani, apricot nectar, blooming jasmine and passion rose, and a drydown of amber wood, sensual musk, cashmere wood, vanilla orchid and incense"I got that from Fragrance X.com and can I just say OMG! this site is great! Everything is marked down like %50. They have alot of great makeup and fragrance's check it out here

What are everyone else's favs? They don't have to be beauty related! Post a link in the comment box if you did your favs too! I would love to read em! Thanx For Reading!

Spring Wish List

 Note to readers: This is strictly a wish-list, with other people's opinion's. Once I buy these and use these items, I will give my own opinion. Also if anybody can give me any advice or have found a great duplicate of the products/items I have on this list, please Comment! thanx! P.S. is this font ok?? can we all read it easily? On to My wish list!

One of the things for this spring I want the most is definitely the Olay Advanced Cleaning System. I have always been big on how beauty is natural and makeup or nice clothes don't make you beautiful. so, I feel this is one of the more important product/items on my wish list. You need to take care of your skin! I dont have the money for the Clarisonic, I wish I did trust me. But i've been reading the many reviews (Olay vs. Clarisonic) and what i've pretty much been finding is the big con on why the Clarisonic is better is because it is water-proof, Olay is only water resistant. I mean you get what you pay for with electronics, and most of the time (not all of the time) with beauty products as well. At that the Olay is only like $30 while the Clarisonic is around $200. With a couple more difference's but alot of the reviews i've been reading are about how people have used them and they felt the same level of cleanliness with each item. But I do want to find out what each of the cleaning-machine's come with as far as cleanser's go. If anybody know's please comment below or if anybody has one of these 2 item's please comment below as well.

Next item for me...I know, I know! call me a late bloomer! but ive been really want to check out those Pearl lipsticks and I couldn't remember which make-up brand was advertising them and when I went to find out online which one, I guess CoverGirl, Maybeline,& Revlon have all caught on to this "pearl-tastic" trend. Ive have always bought the Soft Lip's balm and you always get a tinted lip balm with the regular lip balm. I have the two colors Sweet and Shell Pink but I first got hooked on these a couple years ago and my first color was Pearl and I still look for those to this day. I love that sheer, nude/pale, pastel color. (which ive been seeing every color of the pastel rainbow on the menu for spring!)  I always give the reg. lip balm to my b/f. So happy and exited to try these type of colors in stick form. MAC is also coming out with a limited edition lip-stick line called Sheer-Jeanius for this spring. They are so clever aren't they? Below are the Maybelline ColorSensational Pearl Lipsticks

Revlon Colorstay- I seen a "best drugstore foundation" review on it and I have always gone with the mousse foundation...well for years seriously. Its just not doing it for me anymore honestly, I haven't been getting full coverage with it so im gunna go for a liquid foundation. It is supposed to give's you full coverage (which is a must for myself) plus it is around $10 PLUS if im not mistaken, they are haveing a BOGO half off going on at Rite-Aid for Revlon. Perfect opportunity! (hey guys, I bought this and i will tell you what I think!

Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush & Bronzer! I want it so bad! It looks so pretty!

I guess it smells good and is supposed to be a mood booster, I just want it bc it's so pretty, I will be purchasing this one soon bc this too is BOGO half off at Rite-Aid (w/ your rewards card) So a review is in the makin for this one too. Aren't they pur-tty?!

NARS Turkish Delight- Kim K wears it and it looks "gorge" (as she would say) I guess a good dupe for this would be Victoria Secrets Innocent but I have been wanting this Gloss for over a year now so I do hope I can get! It's just that perfect nude/pinkish color. I guess the VS Innocent isnt as "white" and that's what I really like about the Turkish Delight

Turkish Delight

Innocent

Garnier Fructise Roller Ball- I hear this is a great product, hope to try this soon!!

if anybody does have any of these, please tell me what they think!!

Spring Trends: From the Runway To Your Closet

As you know, no thought is ever original. It has already been thought of before, has been done before. This also applies to trends as well. This post obviously doesn't cover ALL of the trends, these are the ones I am seeing and loving: 

Here's some keywords: Sheer & Shimmering Fabrics, Metallics, Silk, Lace, Big Stripes, Leather "Big Statement" Belts, Draping Fabrics, Maxi Dresses, High Waisted Pants, JumpSuits

Kourtney K. in JumpSuit & Blazer

Punk Fashion: Look for Studs! Just Dont Go Over Board

Look For Draping (& Thigh High Boots) LOVE This Look!

Perfect Ex: long, flowy Maxi Dress with a low Neck Line, w/ A Thick Leather Belt (THINK- Big Stripes)

Love Those Maxi Dresses! And Like I said, were going for sheer this yeear!

Studs w/Blazer

Hot Pants, Thigh High Boots

Another 1 of my Favs! I Heart Lace!

Above is a Great Example of Metallics which are weaved thru this Beautiful, Long, Flowing, Maxi Dress!

I really love what Stephanie Pratt is wearing above. The clogs (which are also a huge trend) with a blazer and a ruffled neckline on her dress with that big statement belt! Another great example of Spring Trends 2011. Kudos, Steph.

Even something as simple as this is great for this spring. It has a slight drapage going on and has a bit of a ruffly neckline. 

I really wanna do a Post on Just Accessories but here's a quick taste: Lots of jewelry but dont think necklaces. Think cocktail rings, again that make a statement

 I Love these 2 Finger Rings! They look so cool on your finger, may look a little weird as is, but trust me this is a trend that any girl looking for "new" item's can appreciate. I hope this 2 Finger Thinger Sticks! 

So in the end, you can use any of these trends in conjunction with eachother and i hope to see you all out & about with these fab trends collaborated this spring!

P.S. - I have taken a couple of classes on fashion and the history of fashion (they are a requirement for some reason for interiors) But I am not a professional in any way! Im just a regular girly-girl with a taste for any kind of art form, especially things like this. I dont make the rules of fashion, I just obey them!!

Birch Box

Hey ladies, I went to BirchBox.com to sign up for it a couple days ago and there was a wait...boo! so i just received an e-mail that I can sign up, and I immediately jumped on the opp! What it is exactly is a box you get once monthly, and you fill out this form to basically tell them hair type, make-up like's and things like that. It's only 10 bucks a month and you receive samples of different products from different companies. To name a few- Nars, Benefit, Marc Jacobs (fragrances) and they are pretty big samples! You also receive Points to buy the full size things you liked. Go----Sign Up! it's the best thing since sliced bread! although that's what it seems like, I'll let all you guys know what I got and what I think of it. My box will be here in April. Cant Wait!!

Thanx for reading!!! P.S.- Can we all read this font ok??? please comment if any problems with it! thanx again!
