Hello Beautiful! My hiatus has hopefully come to an end in the Blogesphere;). My real job (completely unrelated to make up in every way) has taken over my mind body and soul for the past few months. Lots of great things are happening in my life and my family's lives. I'm moving, my sister was here for a long time, I went on vacayyy ((woo woo (for 3 days lol)). So in the midst of little sausages and trying not to get burnt and trying to stay dry in this Louisiana swamp, I have neglected my blog and for that... I am sorry. Trust me when I tell you my favorites this month are right on par with what's "hot and now" in the make up world.
1- Z Palettes. ($20) available at Zpalette.com or allcosmeticswholesale.com
Z-Palettes are truly amazing! They hold so much more as opposed to regular Mac Palettes. The magnet is so strong in these things they are sure to hold your eyeshadow down. There's also a window as you can see so that you can see what is in your palette which is super convenient. Because I am obsessive and apparently have no budget or control in my life, own every color. So in case you were wondering, I use the pink for blushes, zebra for colorful eyeshadow, cheetah for neutrals, and black for stragglers that had no room.
2- Sonia Kashuk Flat Eyeshadow Brush- ($4 or $5) Can be found at Target.
This little fellow of mine came as a shock to me. This inexpensive dude is so easy to use and blends eyeshadow beautifully. It's no comparison to my Mac 224 but you all know that he's my husband for life ;)
3- Buxom Mascara in Amplified ($22) Found at Sephora.com
This Mascara was heavily pimped for a few weeks lol. I love this stuff! The formula is brilliant and the Wand is what every girl needs! It gets bigger and smaller when ya want it to! (Wink Wink) Preferably I enjoy the bigger side but hey... To each her own. I'm talking about Mascara here pervert! All you have to do is twist the end of the wand. The smaller side is lengthening (which you use first) and the Larger more expanded side is for thickening. It truly works and I have been accused of wearing Falsies when it is actually the Buxom Amplified Mascara.
4- Bare Essentuals Pretty Amazing Lipstick in Moxie ($16) at Sephora.com or Ulta.com
We all know I'm obsessed with pink. It's my color I wear it everyday whether it be on clothes, eyeshadow, or of course lipstick. This lipstick, as the name suggests, is Pretty Effing AmaZING! The doe foot applicator is built to perfection and the actual product is SO pigmented and glossy it just glides on the lips with no effort.
5-Buxom Princess Lip gloss - ($18) Found at Sephora.com and some Ulta stores.
This is a super weird product. It's a mauve-y pinky goldy beautiful color. It does something different for your lips when you put it on. It's very hard to explain but it makes any color beautiful! You can put blue on your lips and this gloss will turn you from a dead weird girl to a gorgeous weird girl. Along with all the Buxom Glosses, there is a minty flavor to the gloss that will plump your lips, but this contains no jellyfish poo that numbs the lips and makes them burn as most plumping lip glosses contain the grossness. Love every color from these!
6- Physician's Formula Liquid Eyeliner ($6 or $7) Can be found anywhere but I get mine at Ulta. This is a fantastic dupe for my holy grail liquid eyeliner by Kat Von D in trooper. It's got the same brush head and is surprisingly really very black! It's supposed to have a "Lash Boosting" ingredient in it which hey if it works awesome, but I have yet to see any results of lash growth or "boosting" of any nature. Regardless this is an awesome product!
7- Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Silk eyeshadow in #6 and #4. (too expensive to even admit that I own TWO!) If you want to see how much they are go online;)
Though, I know I have too many eye shadow's to even count, and though I am moving soon, I simply COULD NOT pass up the luxury of having these top quality, can do anything, can make ugly beautiful, can probably carry your first born child, eyeshadow made by Armani. The name says it all when it comes to amazingness and the eyeshadow definitely did not lack in any way! These shadows are simply magnificent! The color is completely true to form on your eyes. Stays on in the exact same way for 24 hours!!!! They are simply the BEST eyeshadow one can have. They look wet and glossy on your eyes and give an unexplainable sheen. They blend beautifully and are so pigmented I could cry! You HAVE to check these out just to see the texture! It's as if they took a gallon of pigment and smushed it into this tiny pot. You can use them wet or dry. Can't say enough about them.
#6 (my favorite!)
#4 My second favorite;)8- Laura Geller Blush and Brighten Bronzer Powder. ($32) online somewhere lol I'm a lazy foo.
So there is a little thing I like to call... BIRCHBOX. Birchbox.com is a monthly subscription where you pay $10 a month and these magical birchbox people send you magical things! It's supposed to only send you 5 or 6 deluxe samples but every now and then they throw in a surprise and give you a FULL SIZE PRODUCT! 3 months ago in my April Birchbox, I received a full size Stila Eyeshadow which is nice. In May I got this bronzer in my box! it is full sized and amazing! It is a mineral crushed into pigment form and baked for your bronzey goodness. Really though, please sign up for Birchbox! I love it and it's really like you get a surprise gift in the mail monthly! It really pays off when they send you full size products! Back to the bronzer... beautiful for summer. Mine is in Honey Dipped but I want to try more of the colors.
9- Illamasqua Blusher in Hussy ($24) Sephora.com
This blush is just beautiful! You only have to tap your brush into the product once to give you a gorgeous summery flush:) You shut yo mouth and say it aint so Hussy! Sorry.... had to:)
BEAUTY BLENDER!!!!!!! ($19) Sephora.com
OMG I'M GOING TO WRITE IN CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS THAT AMAZING! I NEVER BELIEVED THE HYPE. I ALWAYS THOUGHT OMG 19 DOLLARS FOR A DAMN SPONGE? HELLLLLL NO! NEVER... WELL... I DID IT AND IT IS AMAZING. YOU WET IT, IT SWELLS UP AND YOU BOUNCE THIS OVER YOUR SKIN TO BLEND YOUR FOUNDATION OUT (which btw my fave is still Make Up Forever Face and Body Dedicated B right cher) AND IT IS TRULY FLAWLESS. THIS IS MY HAPPY PURCHASE OF THIS MONTH! SO LETS ALL BE HAVE AND BEAUTIFUL AND BLEND... WITH A SPONGE ON OUR FACE!
In conclusion, I've missed blogging and feel as beautiful as ever;) Beauty is ever evolving and I will evolve right along with it! Stay gorgeous!C'est Fini.
