Katy Perry Purr
I really love Katy Perry so I had to support her and buy her perfume
Its very fruity smelling
I don't use this on an everyday biases but I do love the smell
Nordstrom NotesJasmine blossom, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid, and slowly reveals accents of creamy sandalwood and musk. Like the singer herself, Purr is playful yet sophisticated. Katy Perry transcends barriers with her music—so does her new fragrance.

Brittany spears Perfume: Right- circus Left- Fantasy
Come on! Everyone has had or wanted to try these perfumes
I have to be honest I haven't used these in a while but I hang on to them because I don't have the heart to get rid of them
Circus
Circus Walmart Notes:  Luscious fruits, tempting florals and creamy musks capture the magical atmosphere of the show with a colorful illusion of fun, sexiness and glamour.
Fantasy Khols Notes: lush red lychee, golden quince, exotic kiwi, cupcake accord, jasmine petals, white chocolate orchid, creamy musk, enchanted orris root and sensual woods.

Taylor Swift Wonder struck- OMG I love Taylor Swift on a side bar! And the bottle is gorgeous
This perfume I get comments on as well! I love this perfume and I want her other perfume as well!
Sephora Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Apple Blossom, Raspberry, Dewberry.

Vera Wang Preppy Princess: I really wanted to get her 1st perfume but my friend told me not to get it and it smells like
powder, and told me this perfume is amazing!
I do adore this perfume and went threw a faze where this is all I wore, I will be honest of coarse and I don't where this as often as I did but it still smells amazing! (I have no idea how to describe this one lol)

Benefit Feelin' Dandy Lip & Cheek Kit Review

Hey People!
Another Blog post for you guys! I have a review for the Benefit Feelin' dandy lip & cheek kit. I have had this kit for sometime now and I know its been out for a while but I thought it would be fun to do a short and to the point review for you all or if you just want the review that okay too!
* Make sure to read till the end for pictures :) or just skip to the pictures ( I'll admit I do that too sometimes lol)
________________________________________________

I love Benefit because they don't just provide amazing products, but they come out with amazing packaging mostly the blushes!! To me I think the blush packaging is adorable and so cute!
I was attracted to this kit because it had very wearable colors...
Lets start with the...

Benefit Posie Tint: I love this because its such a wearable blush color and SO easy to just throw on your cheeks and rub it in and head out the door. I keep one of these in my car and I'm super pale so this is really great to use when I'm look extra washed out.
Benefit High beam: This high beam is a perfect highlight and I have received a complement on this just last week when I wore this out to my Brothers birthday party. I love recieving complements ( I mean who doesn't) on beauty stuff because it helps me out and I think to myself "I guess I'm doing something right with this beauty, makeup, & fashion thing" if that at all makes sense!
Dandelion Blush: The blush is simple to review, it's a nice blush that is perfect to put over the posie tint! Nice and pigmented and not to many fallouts!
Dandelion Lip Gloss: Last but certainly not least the lip gloss. I love lip gloss but I will admit to being a little picky on my lip glosses. I don't like sticky lip glosses. This lip gloss, I will be honest, is a tiny bit sticky but I love the color. This lip gloss goes great with my skin color and I adore it.

Mascara Face off: Its So Big Mascara vs Pixi Lash Booster Mascara

Time to face off two of my newest mascaras! I love trying out new mascara and finding a new favorite. There are some rules that I like a mascara to follow by...
The rules:
1. Little to no clumping
2. Nice long lashes
3. Does not ware off to my uper eyelid through the day
4. Long lasting
_____________________________________________

I'm not stupid I know that mascara cant be perfect and I have yet to find a PERFECT mascara that follows my rules to a tea. But I like to hold mascaras quality to its price and see if its worth it. I have tried mascaras from sephora and I adore them! They are most likely my favorite or drugstore mascaras.

______________________________________________

Enough of my ramble lets get to the face off!! My two mascara I have chose was two sample mascaras that I have gotten in two different ipsy bags.


 Its so Big Mascara
Pixi Mascara


Face off! 
(Sorry If its creepy)



 In my opinion my Its so Big mascara is much better and makes my lashes longer and volumes my eye lashes very well!
After 4hrs I notice the pixi mascara was more washed out and not as long lasting as the its so big mascara!  


Who would I say won?...I think its obvious that I believe the its so big mascara won!!!********All pictures are mine*********thanks so much for reading!

Water Marble Attempt # 1: Pink Candy Nails

Hey People!
I am excited to try a fun little mini series on water marble nail art!! I always loved this and always been to chicken to try it out. What I didn't realize is it took a lot of work! I dont know if I love the nail colors I tried out but I thought it turned out not to shabby!
NOTE: I learned this on a YouTube channel link at the end of the post!






















All my materials:
* Nail polish remover 
* Some kind of place mat
* Tape 
* Room temp Filtered water
*stick or straw 
* Nail polish that will agree with the water 
Okay everyone this was my process...
1. get room temp water that is filtered and make sure no fan is on
2. apply a base if you like
3. find colors that agree with your water 
4. make a bullet eye in your water (make sure your tape is on: look at video)
5. pull out than take off tape 
6. add a top coat 
7. remove any extra nail polish on your hands 
8. enjoy your nails! 
My finished product:

My Morning Face Routine

Hello and welcome back to my blog:)
Today I will be sharing with you all my morning routine, if you knew me you would know that I am a huge neat freak and a bit of a germ freak as well. I love everything neat and clean... that's why its so super important that I stay loyal to my morning routine because it makes my face feel amazing and most important clean!!
So moving on to my routine...

  • Step #1: The first thing in my routine is using a facial cleanser and currently I'm using my Clean & Clear facial morning burst facial cleanser. I scrub this all over my face for about 1 min and wash off with warm water, than pat dry
  • Step #2: After I use my Facial wash I use a facial scrub... I use one of two either my clean&clear Facial Scrub (Morning burst by C&C really works great to waking you up in the morning) or my Michael Todd facial Scrub. I usually go for the Michael Todd facial scrub when my face breaks out more than normal because its a little stronger than the C&C

Ipsy Bag: November 2013

I know its already December but I usually get my ipsy bag pretty late in the month, but I hope you will still enjoy! I love these bags because I am never not pleased with the products and they are always bigger than your usual sample! Anyways lets hop on in...

First Product I received in the bag... Em Mascara. I was jumping for joy when I got this product because I really wanted to try something from Michelle Phan's new line!
This product is amazing and it makes my eye lashes very long!! The only negative I found in this product is it was a little watery.. It could of just been my mascara but I still love it!



 Next up is the Be a... Bombshell Lip Crayon. I'm in love with this color in the tube but when I swatch the product as you can see its a gorgeous pink color. I love the pink but I wish it was more true to color. I have not tried it out yet but if you want a review please ask!



Next is the Nailtini nail polish in Champagne. This nail polish name is exactly what it is a gorgeous champagne color. I don't have any champagne colors in my collection so I'm very excited to show this color off!


Next up is Starlooks eyeliner in topaz. My mom took one look at it and stole it so I did not get to try it out yet!


Next I got an eye shadow in neptune. I was really excited for this but the color is not for everyday use but still very fun color to have.




Thanks so much for reading and visiting my blog! Any questions please ask. I would love some fedback<3
