Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey ya'll! Happy Valentine's Day!! I hope everyone had a great one, whether you are single or in a relationship! :)

Moving on to some good news! The UPS man came today, and I got my Sephora order!!


Here it is! The Powdered Liquid Foundation! First impression, I thought it was nice looking! Plus the gift box it comes in is super cute! Then I tried it on.....turns out the color is too dark for me; it's a little orange-y I guess. It'll probably be fine in the summer, because I do tan really well being that I'm a lifeguard & am outside all the time :). But we'll see. Overall, I'm not ALL that impressed, but as always I will keep ya'll posted with updates! And just for comparison's sake...


So it's roughly the height of my Secret Deodarant. I can't recommend this product right now, only because I really haven't used it, only tested it, but I will definitely do a review once I get a better feel for it!

I also got 3 free samples for ordering. I got a Boscia skin treatment sample, and also two MENS fragrances :( Needless to say I did NOT know they were men's until I received them today. So I'm a little bummed about that, but Ally is gonna give them to her boyfriend so they won't go to waste but STILL! Oh well....

My mom always gets Ally, Brett and I cute little things on Valentine's day. Last year I got a Product Red shirt from the gap that says Desi(red), which I love! This year she got me ......

A pink T-shirt with a floral type design on it & a red and write striped ribbed tank! I love both items! The tank is perfect for lifeguarding since it matches my shorts & bathing suit! So yeah, I am pleased!! It has been a good day!

Tomorrow I am planning a review on ELF's plumping lip gloss, so keep a watch out!

Until next time : )

More Info...

Okay, so I know this is pretty soon to be making another blog, lol. But since I am so excited about starting this up, I couldn't help myself!!
In my last post, I mentioned being OBSESSED with makeup. Well, I should have been a tad more specific. I really like drug store brands/cheaper brands of makeup. In fact, I only own ONE MAC product, Studio Fix. While I do like Studio Fix (great coverage), I am in no place to shell out that kind of money all the time. I AM a college student, people. And on top of being a college student, I don't have a steady income. I lifeguard in the summer, and have random babysitting jobs, and that's about it.
Anyway, yeah, drug store brands are mainly all I use. More specifically, ELF
http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ . I seriously LOVE their products, and the price simply can not be beat. I have ordered products from the website 4 times now, and am waiting on my 4th shipment. The eyeshadow quads are surprisingly pigmented, and I use them nearly every day. I will definitely do a haul post once that shipment comes in, and also a post with all of my ELF products :)


Another shipment I'm waiting for is from Sephora. The only time I really order from Sephora is when something really cool is on sale. I go through the sale pages probably weekly, lol. I ordered the Sephora brand Powdered Liquid Foudation. It sounded interesting, and was only 4 bucks plus shipping. I'll review that once it comes in! I have high hopes for this product!

On the Sephora website, if you search "sale," all of their items currently on sale pop up, and right now there are some great deals on the Sephora brand brushes; I definitely recommend checking them out!

Finally, my third shipment that I'm waiting for is from Everyday Minerals. I ordered just the free sample kit. The kit includes three foundations, a blush, and a concealer. I'm really interested in how well this stuff works. I've heard good things about it! So as usual, I will let you guys know how I feel about it!

Thanks for reading! Until next time :)
