7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!!
i don't really have any
8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?
maybelline liquid liners, the points aren't that fine

makeup i regret getting

saw vintageortacky do this and she's right about how some makeup just sucks or it's your type. i only have a few products, if i don't like something i return it.

nyc makeup palettes-these don't have the pigmentation like my other shadows do and they are heavy with fall out. plus the shadows get into the creams, which makes them messy and not usable.

makeup forever mascara/lipstick-this was a birthday gift from sephora. i know i didn't pay for this, but i expect more from sephora. i mean more shades and maybe another mascara choice. the mascara brush was difficult and the lipstick isn't really my color. i know it was free, but i still regret picking it up.

elf liners-these didn't really stay on my eyes or waterline. primer and setting it didn't help. i gave them away, since they were barely used.

hard candy liners-these were the same as the elf liners. the packaging was also awful on these. gave these away too.

sally girl glitter-i thought these were cosmetic grade, but they are giant sharp pieces of glitter. these didn't really stick that well to the eye either.

sally girl eye shadows-these are only pigmented when used wet. when used dry, they don't show up at all.

elf 12 piece brush set-the face brushes in this are scratchy and don't work as well as my other face brushes. the bristles are also shaped weirdly.

fyrinnae pixie epoxy review


fyrinnae pixie epoxy, $7, fyrinnae.com

this stuff must be made of magic and kitten/dragon dreams. it helps shimmer shadows stay on all day, without having glitter/shimmer on your face. it's a clear plasma (cross between a liquid and solid) substance that you put on your eyes and then put shimmery shadows on top and it makes it stay there. it's supposed to be comparable to the glamourdolleyes glitter fix. i used this with the sparklebaby palette and 3/4 shades work great. this stuff doesn't work on matte shades though. any shadow with glitter/shimmer works fine. i love how i can get shimmer/glitter to last all day now and i don't look ready to disco. 

steps on how this works: 1. apply eye primer 2. apply a small amount of pixie epoxy to lid (i usually swipe a bit from the doefoot) 3. work product over lid until tacky (to wear you can lift your eyelid slightly from touching it) 4. apply shimmer/glitter shadow on in patting motion

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS? if you wear a lot of shimmer shadows, then this stuff can work magic if you use the right amount. if you tend to wear mostly mattes, this might not be for you. this also might not be available at all times, so check the website. i like the doefoot since it makes product easy to get out of the tube and you can get a small amount of it. if you want to try it, they have sample sizes for $2-3.

i feel like i haven't been on here in forever and a half

there's lots of reasons for that-mostly work. i have a few reviews set up and a haul. i guess we can have a chat here while i wait for things to finish shipping and stuff. 

i already have a list of stuff i want at my job. panda fleece blanket, heart nail polish for mom, and revlon kajal liners. these are the yellow and sky blue liners which i have rarely heard of and haven't seen before in a store. from the package the colors look similar to the yellow and mint liners from stila. i price checked the revlon-8.99, stila-20. now i know 20 for an eyeliner is steep for most people. the urban decay ones aren't cheap, but they are so good and wonderful! i haven't tried anything from stila yet and i don't really have any makeup by revlon. i'm also hesitant about getting the revlon since my store's return policy isn't the greatest. i have swatched both of the stila colors and they were really smooth.

i think winter is great for finding nice warm blankets. that panda blanket is calling my name. they didn't have it one day and i felt so sad since panda's are so cute. they have it back, and i check everyday i'm there to see if it is there.

the makeup section at work isn't bad. they have a nice wet n wild section, milani, maybelline, covergirl, jordana and revlon. they have some elf, not much. it's pretty nice to spend 10 mins before work starts browsing makeup.

i also hate how winter makes my makeup and skin dry. i've never had a problem with my bb creams, but now it's making me look dry and settling into my mouth "lines" (i don't have any, i'm 23 but it's making me look like i have them). i also can't wear my blush since it makes my skin look even drier. my skin feels fine, it's just my makeup doesn't kike cold dry air. i've been looking at other bb creams to try, after my other 2 run out.

speaking of winter, i'm really digging batman fleece pants and hoodie wearing. it's nice for staying inside and napping on days off. 

i'm still waiting on my hot topic order, i have another coupon with them and 2 for bath and body works. i used my 20% off ulta one the day it came out. it's funny that my ulta order i received first, which was ordered way after my hot topic one.

hopefully i can get some stuff up tomorrow with being disturbed.

catch up 2

alright, here's what's going on:

i work a part time job and i've been scheduled for most of this week and next week

i'm going through products in my stash to figure out what i have/haven't reviewed

i'm trying to contain myself from going on a shopping spree which includes:
revlon kajal yellow and blue liners, which look similar to the stila canary and mint julep ones
urban decay freak, goldmine, woodstock, and psychedelic sister liners, i've wanted these since xmas, but ulta's always sold out in these colors
bath and body works semi-annual sale-pumpkin scented kit, cinnamon sugared doughnut candles, lotion
yankee raspberry tarts
hot topic sold out of my cat tights

waiting on another hot topic order, i ordered some skirts

don't know what i want for v-day, which hopefully i can get my liners then

my comp is still dead, hopefully i can get it fixed soon

i went to sephora to check the ud liners stock and got a sample of urban decay all nighter spray and the makeup forever mist and fix (forgot name maybe?), my elf one isn't working as well in the dry winter winds

so that's been going on now. i have off today, so i'm hoping that i can get a few posts up for reviews and other things.

sedona lace brush sets review

i know this is super over do, but i wanted to test them out and see if they were really as good as everyone claims. also my comp is dead. but it's here.

mellow mint face set:
kabuki brush-i use this for powder and to blend out my blush/contour
480-i use this for blush
602-i use this for contour
928-i use this with my heavier powders for fuller coverage

se7en eyes set:
618-used for outer corner and crease blending
224-used for outer corner/crease/highlighting
773-used for outer corner/heavy under eye blending
312-used of outer corner blending
872-used for blending/highlighting/all over lid color
847-used for all over lid color
217-used for highlighting/blending/setting concealer
863-used for blending crease color out*not in set*

these are some nice brushes. they haven't really shed and are still soft. i bought these mostly for blending. the face brushes i bought for face powders (i don't like using creams and brushes.) these wash fine like my other brushes. the color hasn't faded from them. they pack on product nicely and blend them out. these are good in between brushes, between face and eye. these are made for bigger eyes, mine are borderline. the only down side to these is they take a while to dry.

stand out brushes-kabuki, 863, 847, 312, 224

WOULD I RECOMMEND THESE? if you want good in between brushes, yeah. the face brushes takes care of all my powder needs in one set. the eye brushes you can do a whole eye look (minus liner/mascara) with this set. they also don't shed very much and the color doesn't bleed. if you wanted these, i would wait until a sale. i got mine during the 50% off black friday, but they have 20% sales all the time. they also come packaged very nice and shipping was fast.

sparklebaby palette review *updated*



sugarpill sparklebaby palette, $34, sugarpill website

kitten parade-shimmery peach

frostine-light lilac, needs a base in order to show up

candycrush-light satin mint, needs a base to show up

hotsy totsy-magenta pink


this palette is a nice palette to add to the naked 3 and the other sugarpill palettes. kitten parade and hotsy totsy perform like the older sp shades, blending nicely and very opaque. frostine and candycrush need a base to be seen, or they will be very sheer or not show up. i use these with milk pencil and they work fine. the palette is also cute with the kitten princess and being pastel colors. they didn't feel chalky and not much fall out.

*frostine and candycrush work best with fyrinnae pixie epoxy, i tried frostine yesterday and candycrush today and both show up wonderfully with the epoxy, better than the milk pencil*

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS? if you like pastels, yeah. 2 do need a base, so if you don't mind that, then this palette can work for you. the palette is nicely designed and the other 2 colors work great, not needing a base.

*if you have fyrinnae pixie epoxy or can get your hands on it, it works great with this palette*

waiting on hot topic to get my things so i can post prt 2 of xmas haul. a few other things are added to that post. if you haven't checked out bath and body works sale, it's a good time to do it. i went there earlier in the sale and picked up nothing, which i now regret. the candles at my store were pretty picked over. they also give coupons when you make a purchase. hopefully i go to the mall either today or tomorrow for hot topic to get my order. i also want to go to the hippie store, east meets west. i'm not sure if most malls have them, but it has a lot of insenses and stuff. i'm not into insense burning, it doesn't last as long. yankee is also having a sale on xmas scents. those were pretty picked over too. i've only seen the new spring scents in bed bath and beyond so far. i might have to go back there and get the raspberry one. i don't know if i'll visit any other stores there.

current favs 5

BEAUTY:
|sedona lace brushes|
i really enjoy these brushes and they look magical on my 'vanity'.
|sparklebaby palette|
i know understand why everyone is all pastels for winter/fall. this is such a pretty palette, especially kitten parade.
|cvs pointy q tips|
these are good for inner corner wing and shadow fixing. for 200 being $4, that sounds pretty awesome.
|elf makeup remover cloths|
i'm used to taking makeup off in the shower or with regular makeup remover. these are so great for when i'm feeling lazy, tired or not feeling good.

NON BEAUTY:
|wax melt burning|
i've been enjoying the scents and using up some of my wax hoard. i've mainly been enjoying food and eucalyptus mint smells.
|hot chocolate and soup|
it's that time of year when it's 24/7 cold and i don't like it.
|japanese cherry blossom perfume|
i randomly grabbed this from my collection and i've been really liking the smell lately.
|claymation xmas movies|
these are awesome and not annoying like the other movies.
|twilight zone marathon|
this was for new years and it was the black and white ones. i love watching this and when it's a marathon, i won't move unless needed.
more favorites and reviews should be up at some point. my comp's still dead, so i'm waiting on that.
