I recently purchased this quad from LA COLORS. It is in the color BES481 Truffles. I picked it up because of the neutral shades and I am a sucker for neutral eyeshadows. Also the design of the quad is cute. The shadows in the quad are shimmer shadows. It contains a highlight shade, a light brown shade, a copper shade, and a taupe shade. The shadows are very soft and pigmented. I did not experience any fallout with these shadows and they lasted on my eyes all day without any creasing but I did use a primer underneath. I purchased this quad at my local Dollar General for $1.50. This is a great buy!  I would definitely recommend this quad.

Up & Up Facial Cleanser

So I purchased this cleanser called Up & Up at my local Target. I am not sure if it is a Target brand but it was the cheapest cleanser there. I was looking for something that exfoliates and works for acne. So this was the perfect selection it is an exfoliating cleanser that contains salicylic acid which helps with acne. I must say I love the exfoliating part of this cleanser. I feel I can rub this cleanser into my skin and its rubbing off all of the dirt and makeup off my face without irritating my skin. The bad side to this cleanser is that it feels very greasy going on my face and even after washing the cleanser off my face I can feel this heavy greasy feeling on my face its so bad that I have to use my Philosophy Purity cleanser after using this one just to remove that greasy feel off my face. I checked the ingredients out and saw that the cleanser contains wax, I wonder if this is the cause of this greasy feeling on the face. All in all its an ok cleanser just because of the exfoliation but I really doubt I would repurchase it. I purchased this cleanser at my local Target for about $3 to $4 dollars.

Dollar Store Makeup Wipes

I just wanted to blog about how much I hate these wipes! These wipes are suppose to be gentle on the skin and leave the skin silky smooth but it is totally the opposite. These wipes are so dry they remind me of fabric softener sheets and they feel so uncomfortable on my skin. Must I say that they don't remove all of my makeup I have to rub my eyes and face to even get a little bit of makeup off my face and I do not like tugging at my skin. So all in all I would not recommend these makeup remover wipes to anyone. But really what can I expect I purchased these for $1 at the dollar tree!

OMG I cant believe I actually own this! I had been searching for this everywhere and it was sold out and just when I had given up my hopes on owning this Sephora had it in stock last week and I jumped on it. This illuminizer is so beautiful. I love the floral design. The design is so unique and beautiful that I did not even want to touch it but I just had to swatch it. The texture is very smooth and it applies the same. It is a pinky gold color. It gives a beautiful glow and can be used as a highlighter or eyeshadow. Pricing is $42. Grab this if you can I know its limited edition and most stores are sold out. For some strange reason my video swatch did not want to upload so if you would like to see the live swatch go to my youtube link which is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkz2zkgoTGw&feature=channel_video_title

I received my order from Estee Lauder on Friday. I was so excited, must I say shipping was super fast I placed the order on Tuesday night and received it Friday. I ordered two cyber eyes eyshadows. I wanted to get these asap since they are limited edition and since I missed out on the modern mercury collection which had that gelee luminator I sure did not want to miss out on these gelee eyeshadows. The formula of these eyeshadows are supposed to be a mix between a gel, liquid, and powder in one. They are $24 each. I ordered one in Cyber Pink and the other in Cyber Copper. They are so beautiful. I love the design on the eyeshadow. They are very soft and pigmented. I hope Estee Lauder makes these permanent in their collection!

Ok so when I saw these at my local grocery store today I got all excited. I thought, could these be a Revlon lip butter dupe? Well let me tell you not really. When you look at these in the tube they look super pigmented but when you put them on the lip they have little to no pigment at all. They are very moisturizing though. They have a slight sweet scent which does not bother me. Packaging is nice its kinda similar to the lip butters with a clear color top. The display at my store had 8 different shades, I purchased 2 of the 8. I purchased #218 Rose Elixer and # 418 Caring Coral. Pricing was about $8. All in all I like them I love how moisturizing they are it feels just like the name, a balm. I just wish they were more pigmented.
