E.L.F Essentials Brushes?! Yes, I believe their New!

How amazing that E.L.F willl be adding to their essential lines and that they are $1 -wow! I think for my taste they hairs are too scratchy, I wish the would have added to their Studio Line though, but you really can't beat a buck and I heard they are redoing their whole line! Could it be?! I got this picture from their IG and like to keep up with the new trends as you can tell, but look a fan brush! :) Check below for some amazing deals!

Jordana Concealers + Foundation

Since L.A. Girl has came out with their infamous concealer, I felt as if a lot of other brands are following along, meaning that they also have concealers in a squeezy tube like Maybelline and now Jordana. I do a lot of soul searching online to find the latest products out there in either high end or drugstore, mostly drugstore. I happened to spot these. 2-in1 Concealer and Foundation? Waaaa?! It also claims to be "maximum" coverage, and there seems to be a nice color selection cool and warm. I have no idea what the price of these are and I have no idea when they come out, but when they do I will for sure update this post! I am excited to try this actually, Jordana products are super affordable and I don't think they have any foundations or concealers in their line which can be found in Wal-Greens. 

Cinderella Collection from MAC

I know, I keep posting the pictures up, but I am super excited for this collection to come out! The packaging is on point! Available on Mac on Feb 26th! 

Wet n Wild, Rimmel London, Tweezerman and Jordana, NEW

Today I spotted these lipsticks, I think these are new because I own almost all of them, and I never seen these shades, have you ladies seen these? This is what I love about the drugstore, I can always find something new here to rave about. These seem new, Gold shade, tangerine shade, peachy nude and what appears to be "Lolita" dupes, can't be sure though, I didn't purchase any, so I'm not able to swatch these.

I have been seen these somewhere, it removes your hair, but I read somewhere that it hurts but yet effective, this was about $20 so I don't know about this.

This is the new Kate Moss collection that is new from Rimmel London. Colored mascara, jumbo eyeshadows sticks and a "moss" colored gel liner. I wasn't too intrigued really, i have no real feelings for Rimmel London.

Salon Perfect: Perfect Brow Pomade

I was at Wal-Mart, just cruising the makeup aisles, lol and I found this: Salon Perfect: Perfect Brow Pomade for $4.95. This is supposed to be an alternative for what I am assuming as the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade.

This also comes with a duo ended brush, which really sucks because a good stiff brush works to do nice fine strokes whereas this will not do the job because it's too soft, so I wouldn't use this brush whatsoever. This only comes in two shades, a blonde, and a dark brown, but if you compare the dark brown from this to the ABH it's nowhere near the same, the ABH is actually it's in between Dark Brown and Ebony, and here's the fail, it has bits of glitter. Like who in the world likes glittery brows?! When it dries the glitter aren't as bad but still.

This contains 0.11 grams and the ABH is 0.14 grams. This is 1/4 of the cost of the ABH, and this actually doesn't smudge. I have a picture below, all i did was try and smear the pomades couple of times.

If you can look past the glitter, and are on a budget this product isn't that bad especailly for the price, I do recommend a stiffer brush for finer strokes. I will be testing them to see how I like them but I personally do not like glitter only for eyeshadows, well I like subtle glitter for eyeshadows, but that's it.  Do I consider this a dupe, yes I actually do, because all dupes we find are not the same, they could be the same color but never the same formula, finish, and something will be a bit different.

Hope I was helpful in some way with this review let me know what you ladies think!

Tartelette Palette

Look at this, it's an all matte palette! These is a beautiful, chic palette from Tarte. The palette is so small but definitely worth it, I seen people have complained that some shades are hard to blend but I didn't have that problem whatsoever. These are nicely pigmented and the names are so cute, my favorite is super mom I like to think of myself as that :D This palette was $44

 at Sephora. At QVC this palette is $36.36 and it comes with a brush so if you're considering to purchase this, the best bet is probably QVC because it's cheaper and it comes with a brush! I give it a solid 8 only because medium to deep skinned the shadows might not be the best pigmentation. I wish they had swatches on light, medium and deep skinned so we can see how it appears.

Coloured Raine Matte Lip Paints

Who's loving the liquid lipsticks besides me? Spotted this on Trend Mood! If you purchase all this as a bundle it costs about $159 or $16 each not bad compared to Lime Crime and Kat Von D or Stila. I love Mars, of course that is my fave lip color as of lately, it comes out in February though. They need to let me enjoy my current purchases before they decide to come out with new stuff!!! www. coloureddraine.com

My Weekends

Shelby gave me some inspiration from her post. What do I do on the weekends?" I do quite a bit actually. Starts like this.

Some brush cleaning. I have to do this, I should actually do this more often but time only allows me to do some brushes lol. 

I am always cleaning, this is something I can never escape, avoid, or not do. I love a clean house especially a clean kitchen! Some a good part of my weekend is dedicated to some deep cleaning, during the weekdays i just keep kitchen and living room clean, and the weekend i get the rest. Seems fair.

As we probably all know by now, this is Netflix, I love this. My husband and I spend a good amount of time searching for something and watching either a movie or a series, we just finished Breaking Bad and I am now rewatching Gossip Girl, yes we both watch together, c'mon, it's a good damn show! I love me some Blair and Chuck :)

I usually cook something simple during the week, nothing too special, but when it comes to the weekend, I  love to grub on something good, not necessarily junk food (although I do love junk food, and yes I know it's not good for ya :D) I like some steaks on the grill, or carryout chinese, whatever is good, I'm there! 

Yes snuggling with my loves, is part of the weekends for me, all day errrday! I do some snuggling everyday actually lol. 

Sounds about right though, I don't think I need to go further. :)

Just to wrap this up, thanks Ryan! :D 

Valentine's Day in the Nail Aisle!

I walked into my local drugstore (Wal-Greens) and I seen they had these Valentines's Inspired Kiss lashes, how cute, they each have a different style! My favorites are Heartthrob and Be Mine, I tend to go for a more natural look for lashes when I do apply them! 

Incoco- never heard of that brand before! They had these Valentines's inspired nail things, I forgot what they are called oops! These are cute, I wanted to get a set but I have the hardest time trying to apply these, for whatever reason!

And of course SinfulColors had Valentine's inspired nail polish which I had mentioned in previous posts that these were out but I seen that people must have loved them because they almost cleared the shelves lol. I did see that they were coming out with St. Patricks themes polishes as well. I love the different shades of green, they even have a gold polish. 

These are my finds for today! I'm thinking of getting the lashes though, look at the heart shaped packaging, how cute and they even come with glue, but I rather use my Duo Adhesive glue, it's more trusty to me lol!

Riot by Lime Crime!

Who else is excited?! I sure am! This looks absolutely gorgeous!! Doe describes this shade as "earthy reddish-brown" I am wondering how it will look on light/medium skin as myself? Of course we all know that this is not the outcome for everyone, this shade will look different on everyone and that goes for every shade color there is. Lime Crime also has good staying power, although it's a small tube a dab does go a long way. What do you ladies think of this? 

E.L.F Studio Ultimate Kabuki Brush

Look at that bad boy! As seen on E.L.F's Instagram it claims to "sculpt, highlight, blend and stipple  your way to perfection" It's already out on E.L.F website, this somewhat looks promising, bigger version on Nars Ita brush which retails about $55. This one retails for $10, though keep in mind this is much bigger, this would be hard to dab into my bronzer to contour though, what do you ladies think? Check below for some offers!

NYX Cosmetics Contour Palette Released!

 This bad boy has been released today, price is $30, ouch. This is pretty pricey but the pans look a lot bigger and this palette contains 8 pans whereas others contain 6. The pans are actually removable and refillable which is odd because will NYX be selling each pan separately or will we have to purchase from ABH to get the individual pans? I need to know. 

This palette I swear is universal, it seems as if they have for every skin tone and undertone, which is great. This is mostly matte, because Hello, nobody likes a shimmery contour. 

They also have a coupon code Welcome25 and the palette comes to about $22.50. Not bad eh?

Top Row: Pearly Pale White, Matte Nude, Matte Soft Yellow, Pearly Soft Peach

Bottom Row: Matte Soft Brown with Slight Red Undertone, Matte Neutral Brown, Matte Taupe, Matte Deep Brown 

Physicians Formula Argan Oil -I Love It.

I'm pleased that Physicians Formula came out with Argan Oil, these 3 are alike yet similar. They are oils that help with hair, skin and nails.

 Physicians Formula has more to offer though,

 It's a "multi-tasking miracle" It's a Moisturizer, Primer, Brightener, Protector, Treatment. Hmm, all that? We will have to put that to the test, like this, it has no scent like the others. This is basically a "dupe" or an alternative for those on a friendly budget. I wanted to try this before investing in Josie Margan but if I love it, I will more likely be sticking to it, I am not about high-end or affordable, I am more of a tried and true kind of woman, like MUG for $6 and the pigmentation is incredible! 

 Im so excited to try this! I do now own Tarte Maracuja Oil or Josie Margan Argan Oil, they seemed to expensive but now that this is out, I am ecstatic! Use a couple drops, help soften your cuticles, when damp face help give your face a radiant glow, i tested it out and it has no greasy feelings. 

Beauty Blender Bling Ring.

A bling ring to let your Beauty Blender dry lol, is this really necessary, who requested that this should even exist. This is super unnecessary yet totally necessary, if this was in gold I would be sold! Price is about $25 at Sephora, they only have this pink one. What do you think of this?? Is this necessary? I think it would look beautiful on any vanity but maybe not this pink one.

NYX New Contour Palette, Butter Glosses and High Voltage Lipsticks: Update

Look at these, wow they are really stepping up their game! 2015 is really stepping up their game by a lot, and I love it! Another contour palette, the pans look as if they can be changed? It looks amazing and almost universal! And 4 highlight colors, they did really good! All other palettes have 3 of each, but this is nice, I love that they came out with his but the size of this is huge, not sure if I am okay with that since i love palettes that are more compact, but I can seem to overlook that. Hope the price is reasonable! 

They are also coming out with new Butter Glosses, Yes! I love them! I don't own any yet, the colors are gorgeous! I hope they have the same formula and smell! What are your thoughts on their new products? I guess they  are launching in Spring, like can it be Spring yet?

They are even coming out with some NEW Micro Pencils, 8 shades, seems something maybe similar to the Wiz and probably something affordable, and up my alley!! I will be on the hunt for all of these!!

They also have new Prismatic Shadows, the color looks super intense, I hope they are not sheer! 

New: They are coming out with highly vibrant lipsticks, good thing, because their round lipsticks are kinda boring. They needed this to spruce up their lipstick line, look at the pigmentation though!
