Wet n' Wild 8 Pan Palette Sparkle 'Til Morning!

Hey Yall
    So going through my makeup collection for an up coming video on my youtube channel i rediscovered one of the wet 'n wild 8 pan palletes in sparkle till morning. This palette was limited edtion from one the collections last year i believe, but don't quote me on that. I love all of the wet 'n wild eyeshadows and can wait for them to make more and more of them. Comfort zone was my first love and walking on eggshells.

This palette is more geared towards neutral i think, because i can wear it for everyday. Teal makes for a great pop of color either as a liner or lower lash line.

Long Time No Post....

Hey beauty junkies

     It has been way to long since i have even been on my blog and even longer since i have posted anything. But i'm backk :) Back to making videos on youtube and hopefully finally get this blog to where i imagined it could be. But this it just an update for you guys that i will be redoing my page and posting alot more. I am always up for requests for videos and blog posts! But here is a sneak peek of what has been taking up a majority of my time...

My crazy 6 month old puppy Wylie!!

Till next time ladies

i'm back!!

WOAH its been forever since i have been on YouTube or blogged. my crappy hp laptop has been under attack by viruses for the past month or two. And yesterday i just had it fixed!! so yay for blogging again and making videos! not exact sure how much i am going to get up in the coming weeks because my birthday is 9 days away and its the big 21. plus i am house sitting and working. but i'm going to try and work on it!. I completely failed at my project pan it was suppose to go on till my bday but i broke down and bought some things last week in celebration of my bday.But other then that all is well! I hope you guys have been well. I am going to start adding questions of the blog to every post to try and get some feed back from yall.

So. What did yall do for your last birthday?

A new adventure

So yesterday start my project pan exciting =). It actually kinda funny because i haven't even bothered to put make up for the last 3 days.. yes i know shocking.. but i have really felt up to it. There has been alot of stuff going on in my head and i havent really felt like doing much of anything =(. But today starts a new me and a new way of life for me. I starting to really get back in to horseback riding and hoping it will make me new friends in the area along with getting serious about my studies and volunteering at a local animal shelter. busy life huh?  But i still feel like I need this blog to express myself some what. Yes it is going to still be about makeup but a good chunk of my life also. Now i am that type of person who asks why do people put their life on the Internet for everyone to see but it kinda is an online journal that apparently everyone is reading ( well in my case 3 people). But it just kinda makes me feel alittle better.

  So any who that's basically it for now. Gotta go get some errands done. grr i hate being an adult.

Going back on project pan :(

So Just an update for yall, I have decided to start back on my project pan as of march 18 and stay on it till my 21st bday (may 18)!!!! This will be the longest project pan for me if i complete it. This also giving me a reason to save up my money to have the craziest birthday ever too! But im not trying to finish any certain items im just going to see how much i can go through. I certainly know that i could go till the end of the year with out buying makeup and never run out but hey what is the fun in that? So i'll keep a list of everything that i finish and try to write down little reviews on each product as i go along too. Here comes the excitement again i love starting things i just never stick to them but i have to. Its time for me to finish something i start because i know how proud i am going to be when i get done.
    On a different note you know its becoming spring time when i start my self tanner. The hilarious part is that i can notice a difference it 2 uses when is is suppose to take a week. That is honestly how pale i am. I am using the jergens natural glow stuff in fair to medium skin but i feel like it is a bit orangey and not natural has anyone else had this problem? Or i guess it could be because it is what i used last year and im prob due for a new bottle. Maybe i should branch out and try something new but im honestly kinda scared too because the fact i am so pale i think all of it is too dark or orange for me.
   Well i kinda just felt in the bloggin mood i guess excited about some new developments in my life also!!
Did yall enjoy the product rave for my last post? would you like to see more of them or not just let me know.

Thanks for reading :)

PRODUCT RAVE: Maybelline Color tattoo.

So I know alot of people have done reviews/ raves on the maybelline color tattoo cream eye shadows, But i have to put my 2 cents in on this product. So if your sick of hearing about them then move on i do have other posts on here... If you interested then keep reading :)

Alright so the color tattoos were released in Jan 2012 I do believe. I own 6 of these bad boys and the price range is $5-$8 dollars and you could get them cheaper if you shop the buy one get one 50% off sale. Im just going to jump in with all the pictures here. First is the product in the jar, then two swatches the first one is one swipe and the second is it blended out, like it would look if you used it as a base on your eyelid.

Audacious Asphalt

A dark grey shade with silver shimmer.

Bad to the Bronze

A metallic warm brown bronze shade

Bold Gold

A golden metallic shade with gold shimmer.

Pomegranate Punk

A cranberry/ rust shade with golden shimmer

Tough as Taupe

A matte brown taupe shade.



Too Cool

White pearly with some little glitter.

Alright so over all these are some of the greatest bases the drugstore has to offer. Then are more of a gel like texture but still creamy. I have had no problem with these creasing but i always use a primer, But even other reviews i have read said no primer is need. I am still deciding if i would like to take on that challenge. I only own the neutral color of these but they do have bright colors ( purple, teal, green,orange). Personally bold gold is my favorite of them all it is an everyday color for me and the one i would recommend.

Favorites for febuary!!

Alright since its extremely hard for me to film videos lately i figured i would do my favorites in blog form. Now  not a whole lot has changed since January but a little bit has. So lets to get on to it.

  First favorite of the month is part of my project 10 bottle. It is a body butter from the tree hut. Mine is in cocoa butter.It has that typical cocoa butter/ chocolate smell to it.(yumm) Now Ive never been a huge fan of body butters because i thought they were too heavy on my skin. WOW was i wrong I've basically had to force myself to use this for about a week then after that i have been hooked I use this mostly when i get out of the shower on my knees elbows and feet. I'm not sure if it is just this product of if it is the body butter it self but i have seen a major different in my skin.

Next is the the hard candy Glow all the way high lighter thingy. Now this is just a sample size of it. I got this in one of those $8 trial kits from them. At first i tried this and laughed what were they thinking? I'm suppose to put this where and yeah i bet there is "real" gold in  it...hahaha. But i finally wised up and been using this as a cheek highlight and once again WOW. it is the perfect shade to highlight with, alot of people apparently compare this to benefit high beam which i have really been debating if i want to spend all that money for. Now i don't have to. This has a pinky champagne sheen to it that is great. but alittle bit goes a long way to this sample should last me for months and the full size is huge!


Third is the maybelline instant age rewind under eye corrector. I don;t have a picture of this because i had to depot mine because the clicker part broke =(. But this product is great a little bit sure goes on smoothly and covers just enough for me. I actually prefer is depoted anyways i was worried about bacteria growing on that sponge thing and now i dont have to. Now thats really that is all of the makeup products that are new for the month of feb. I am still LOVEING the 24/7 cream shadow things from maybelline.

The rest of my favorites and more ways of doing things such as straighting my hair. I have long hair that naturally has a wave/ curl like to it. Most of the type i just let it do its own thing or i'll add alittle gel to it to help it. But once i pulled out my straighter out at the end of last month i have been hooked to  it. I guess its just different or its because it makes my hair longer i dont know? But i just know i find my self doing this bout twice a week now.

I have also been loveing masks of any type. Meanin if it my mint julet or a cucumber peel off mask. I love how they make my skin feel so soft after wards. Now i do find myself doing this about once a week im not sure if that is too much but my skin it handling it pretty well.
Lastly I havent been using foundation everyday anymore just concealer and a better powder that provides more coverage. That could also be what is helping my skin out also...

Well thats all folks. thanks for reading!!!
