sugarpill haul and mini review

this is from the black friday sale. i have been wanting these colors for sometime.

 i did turn the box inside out since its pretty

 i have the sugarpill electrocutes bundle
i used all of these in 1 eye look and used nyx milk as a base. i don't know if they improved the formula but my glitter stayed around for over 5 hours during a work shift and i didn't have much fall out. i know a lot of people have complained about it, so maybe they improved it.

i have 8/9 of the new colors that came out. i still have tiara, so i didn't get grand tiara.
countess, penelope, huglife, clickbait, mint soda, charmy, holy ghost, strangeling
i've only used charmy and countess so far but they are the same as the other pigments in quality (which are amazing!)

bath and body works haul

i made a haul from bath and body works. did i need to make one? no, most of these were 50%-75% off and i had a 20% coupon. that was tempting enough.

 holiday traditions wall flowers-twisted peppermint, vanilla noel, and candy apple i already have (backups). evergreen smells like a forest and it very potent. marshmallow fireside has a sweet and smoky scent, it's not very strong (i just smelled these, not in the warmer. i'm hoping it's stronger when warmed). sweater weather smells definity like eucalyptus, the sage is in the background.

 watermelon lemonade-smells like watermelon bubblegum

 joy candle- it has a faint peppermint and sugar smell. it smells a little like marshmallow fireside but without the smoke and add mint. it came with a snowflake, which is cute.

 winter candy apple and leaves candle- winter candy apple has a sweet apple scent. the wallflower was more potent than the candle smells. leaves smells like cinnamon apple sauce. i love this candle now. i haven't smelled it before this time.

 i bought many shower gels. i don't need them but they were $2-$4 and i like a nice smelling showers.
dark kiss and black raspberry vanilla smell exactly like the perfume. enchanted orchid smells lightly of orchids.

 strawberry and vanilla smells like light strawberries and something else sweet (not the vanilla). i have no idea how to describe brown sugar and fig, it doesn't smell like either or of coconut milk. it's not a bad scent. secret wonderland smells like the perfume.

 velvet sugar smells like floral strawberries. sheer freesia smells like a less sweet version of secret wonderland. midnight pomegranate smells like the perfume.

sensual amber has a potent amber smell with a little bit of citrus. sweet magnolia and clementine smells strongly of magnolia but not of citrus. butterfly flower smells nothing like citrus or orchid, but like lilies.

colourpop haul review

i placed an order from colourpop, hearing lots of good things about them. i ordered 4 shadows and a set of lippie stix. the forget the fruitcake collection isn't available anymore sadly. 

 fantasy, slave2pink, envy, bae

 fantasy, slave2pink, envy, bae

 box for lippe stix

cookie, tuxedo, confetti, cheers, lady, tutu

i really like these. everytime i wear fantasy i get compliments and asking where i got it from. i hit pan on bae from wearing it 5-8 times. for lippies, cookie has been my most worn. i have worn tutu or lady, since the lean more pink and look less dark on the lips. i think creature would be a good dark.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS?
i loveeeee the eyeshadows, which are easy to apply and remove. the last all day and don't move. the do blend with some work. the lippies do need to be reapplied like regular lipstick. i do enjoy cookie, which is a light enough nude for me. i do like the slanted applicator, which makes it easier to get straight lines. if you wanted these colors darker, use a lip pencil first. $5 for eyeshadow and lippie stix is a really great deal. will be ordering more soon.

since i loved the shadows so much i ordered more XD

 fizz, empire, game face, 3, porter and creature lippie

 back to cool lippies

vixen lippies

 fizz, empire, game face, 3, porter (dark burgundy but the sun decided no)

 choker, baewatch, mosh pit, out of sync, tgif, too sexy, creature

last call, ruffle, night owl, jingle, plastics, 54

1st memebox unboxing!!!!

i've browsed through memebox for a few months and didn't find anything too exciting until this one. 50 shades of sheet masks for $49! it really does have 50 in it and i was hoping for more brands to try, and it delivers.

 promo card

 i like the cat on the invoice

 xmas card

 tosowoong sheet mask-propolis (bee glue), snail (I FINALLY HAVE A PURE SNAIL MASK), aloe, deep sea water, blueberry, and green tea
i haven't tried this brand before or heard about them

 leaders insolution-2 of each-aloe soothing, illuminating, tea tree relaxing, ac clear, collagen boosting, aquaringer, vita brightening, and anti-aging.
i've heard so many good things about this brand and it has all the different ones.

 botanic farm-2x kiwi, 2x sea mustard, rose, cherry blossom, and rice
i have some botanic farm masks and am excited for the cherry blossom one.

 skin factory-2 of each-egf (epidermis growth factor)and solution a plus
the packaging is cool on this one, like you could hang it from somewhere.

 skin factory-2 of each-honey and volcanic ash
i have some volcanic ash masks and liked them. also the honey.

 innisfree-green tea and blackberry
i haven't seen this brand before and am excited for the blackberry one.

 ettang-2 of the peeling soothing mask
it's a 2 step one, which i have yet to use.

 leaders insolution-baby soft hand and foot masks
i've only used 1 foot mask from another brand and have yet to use a hand mask.

ariul 7 days-avocado, tea tree, bamboo water, lemon, pomegranate, aloe, and green tea.
i think i have brand somewhere but i haven't used it yet. i haven't tried a lemon mask yet.

i really like this box since it has different brands and kinds of masks to try. i won't use all of these anytime soon, but there's lots of options for my skin when it's having moments. shipping took less than a week, the same as sephora for me. 

current favs dec 2015

i haven't posted in a while, retail + holidays = no sleep. but it has slowed down so i have more time (and many products to test out).

|BEAUTY FAVS|

hard candy green primer-this has helped with my redness and does make my makeup stay longer. its almost gone so i have to get a back up.

kat von d mi vida loca palette-i did neglect this for a while but i've been using it lately and it's everything a rainbow palette should be. i haven't used the neutrals yet though.

real techniques stipple brush-i like using this to apply foundations/creams. it doesn't leave as many lines as the others does.

orly goth polish-it's black and has silver glitter. it's perfect.

|NON BEAUTY FAVS|

katy perry royal revolution perfume-i have a sample roller ball and i do love the smell. it doesnt smell overpowering and does last for a few hours. i would prefer a spray after i finish the sample. i don't have any celebrity fragrances except katy perry's.

breaking benjamin-i got 3 cd's for xmas (haul coming soon) and that's all i've listened to.

december mask maven 2015

this months theme is a bit of everything.

 tony moly lemon mask-i've been wanting to try these since i've heard good things about them. my skin could also use some brightening from the dull winter weather.

 tony moly rice mask-my skin was hormonal this month so i'm hoping this can at least shrink them or make them go away.

 urban dollkiss 3-go mask-i haven't tried this brand before so this is exciting.

 snp tiger mask-i haven't used the puppy/panda masks yet but i do want to use them and see how they look.

 mediheal dress code violet mask-i love the smell of lavender so i'm hoping to use this on a relaxing day (after holidays) and it looks SOOO PRETTY!!!!!

 scinic my juicy bottle mask-i haven't tried a bamboo mask before so that should be interesting.

 my beauty diary imperial birds nest mask-i've heard of birds nest being in food but not a mask. i didn't know this was a thing but i'm excited to try it.

 dr. morita renewal repair essense mask-it has a snail on it, so i'm pretty sure it has snail something in it. i'm pretty excited since i've always wanted to try snail masks.

holika holika baby silky hand mask-i haven't tried a hand mask, but i do need one because of the cold. i've heard of holika holika before but haven't tried anything from them. 


i like this months masks since i get different brands and a hand mask and a snail mask. it's for all different skin types, so no matter what my skin does in a few months, i can take care of it.

list of fav things

i haven't posted a favs since i haven't been doing much besides school, work and maybe some sleep. i haven't been wearing much makeup because of this but it's been almost 2 months.

makeup-
hard candy primer-it's green enough to cover my redness and keep my makeup on most of the day (after 8-10 hours it does look a little worn)
urban decay moondust shadow ether- it like how its light enough to easily blend but it doesnt look pretty pink/purple and glitter
colourpop shadow bae-i've already hit pan on it and i plan to do a haul/review soon
colourpop lippie stix cookie-i like how i can wear this with just mascara, it's a nice nude


scent-bath and body works twilight woods and lavender and honey
pumpkin pie candles-its smells like fall :D


unfavs-
losing headphones-they somehow went disappeared the void and i was without them for a week. i had to go get another pair.
holiday busy-ness-not just at my work but everywhere. i can't wait until jan when everything slows down.
kat von d immortal mascara-this is flaking on me and i've never had a mascara do that. and the brush makes my lashes look clumpy and weird.

after nov/dec i should have more posts-maybe
