(June 2014 Haul)hey u! so before i get started, i just need to vent. this morning i went to the MAC store to buy a few MAC lipsticks from the Kelly Osbourne Collection BUT by the time i arrived, they were all sold out! i was sooo bummed out! it totally ruined my morning. i know they're just lipsticks but still... anyhow, after a while, i got over it.<br />
so today's post will be on my most recent MAC lipstick purchases. yes, it's HAUL time!<br />
i bought a few of them about 4 months ago while the rest i purchased within the past month or so. <br />

<br />
i know i kinda splurged a little but since i was pregnant i decided to treat myself before my baby arrived bcuz i knew that once she was born, all of my funds would go towards her and only her. but that's alright bcuz my baby girl is sooo worth it! hands down! =) <br />
and what can i say about the MAC lipsticks... they're great! i love them all. i'm definitely content with the variety of colors that i chose bcuz i have a different shade for each day/mood, lol.<br />
believe it or not, there are still a few MAC lipsticks that i need to get my hands on! too many to name.<br />
so what are your favorite MAC lipsticks? which would you recommend?<br />
once again, thanks for stopping by! until next time...<br />

(It's A Girl!) hey u! well, it's been a while since i last posted on my blog. a lot has happened in my life, since my last post on July 2013. but the most important change in my life was finding out i was pregnant! i am happy and proud to say that i am now the mother of a beautiful little princess!!! my daughter was born on cinco de mayo. she has given my life a whole new meaning! she is my reason for living! i can't begin to describe how i feel when i look into her gorgeous little eyes! i just love her sooo much!!! i thank God for blessing me with her little soul!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
since i love Hello Kitty, i've decided to make her crib bedding, and as much decor & toys, her theme. our room is filled with Hello Kitty's everywhere! i love it! my husband, on the other hand, isn't as thrilled, lol. but that's ok bcuz he loves his little princess and would want to please her as much as possible.<br />
but now that i'm somewhat returning to my regular routine, i will start posting more on my blog. or at least i plan to, lol. it all depends on my baby girl bcuz she comes first! but i would also like to take advantage of my time off work since i'm on maternity leave until August 2014. with that being said, i plan to post my first blog post of 2014, tomorrow, after i make a little purchase from MAC. so until then, thanks for stopping by!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IFUl9G2qZa8/UYiXLNDsXtI/AAAAAAAABe4/FmAaH9viSMM/s1600/WnW+I+Heart+Matte.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IFUl9G2qZa8/UYiXLNDsXtI/AAAAAAAABe4/FmAaH9viSMM/s1600/WnW+I+Heart+Matte.JPG" height="320" width="313" /></a></div>
<br />
for this eye makeup look i only used three eyeshadows from the I Heart Matte palette by Wet 'n Wild. the creamy eyeshadow, the peachy eyeshadow and the brown eyeshadow. then i applied my black eyeliner by Jordana and some falsies as well. i also applied a white eyeliner to my waterline, also by Jordana. i'm really loving drugstore makeup! great quality at a reasonable price. you can't beat that! until next time... <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KnR7HMqqzFA/UWhpiB7zNLI/AAAAAAAABbg/0MdqAcy8zy8/s1600/50+Maybelline+Color+Whisper.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KnR7HMqqzFA/UWhpiB7zNLI/AAAAAAAABbg/0MdqAcy8zy8/s1600/50+Maybelline+Color+Whisper.JPG" height="320" width="154" /></a></div>
<br />
the packaging for these lip colors is super cute. (i'm definitely a sucker for cute packaging!) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AQUGI7NTO1Q/UWhse-7apKI/AAAAAAAABb4/VpDibMPgMFg/s1600/51+Maybelline+Color+Whisper+40+Orange+Attitude.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AQUGI7NTO1Q/UWhse-7apKI/AAAAAAAABb4/VpDibMPgMFg/s1600/51+Maybelline+Color+Whisper+40+Orange+Attitude.JPG" height="320" width="317" /></a></div>
<br />
the Maybelline website says: <br />
"Pure color pigments suspended in a weightless gel. No heavy waxes or oils. Soft, sexy gel-color." <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JbwUyGDa34E/UWhrCV2PmyI/AAAAAAAABbo/NHbJbTDaRnE/s1600/52+Maybelline+Color+Whisper+lipstick.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JbwUyGDa34E/UWhrCV2PmyI/AAAAAAAABbo/NHbJbTDaRnE/s1600/52+Maybelline+Color+Whisper+lipstick.JPG" height="320" width="130" /></a></div>
<br />
this color is somewhat reminiscent of the Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti, in my opinion, just a little more sheerer. but you can always build up the intensity to your liking. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
i purchased this Maybelline Color Whisper at my local CVS. since i bought it a few weeks ago i don't remember how much it cost, sorry guys! but you can always go online to check prices and any special offers that may be available! CVS always has great deals! =) i love CVS! i've been shopping at CVS a lot, for the past two months or so, thanks to their <b>extra</b>bucks <b>rewards</b>! AND their return policy is amazing! =) <br />
until next time... thanks for stopping by! <br />

<div>
and i definitely agree with Maybelline's description. this lipstick, 885, is not only pigmented but absolutely gorgeous too! and it's also super creamy. =) </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z2gGj1Adcf8/UV0dwCi7DDI/AAAAAAAABUU/u2_mrWoFIbo/s1600/45+WnW+Shimmer+The+Night+Away+EOTD+yaya.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z2gGj1Adcf8/UV0dwCi7DDI/AAAAAAAABUU/u2_mrWoFIbo/s320/45+WnW+Shimmer+The+Night+Away+EOTD+yaya.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
for this look, i only used 3 out of the 8 eyeshadows in this 8 pan palette: white, fuchsia, and purple. before applying the purple eyeshadow on my lid, i first applied painted purple color tattoo as a base. then i used the fuchsia eyeshadow to blend out the outer edges of the purple eyeshadow. finally, i used the white eyeshadow to highlight my tear duct. i lined my eye with the Jordana liquid eyeliner before applying my Khroma Beauty eyelashes, which i'm totally loving! i finished up this look by applying a white eyeliner, by Jordana, on my waterline. i must say i'm loving all my Wet 'n Wild palettes! i still have a few more that i will be using for future <b><i>EOTD</i></b> posts so stay tuned! <br />
until next time... thanks for stopping by! <br />

<br />
i was beyond excited to try INGLOT for the first time! and oh em gee...i absolutely loved it! INGLOT eyeshadows and blushes are so silky smooth and easy to blend! i can't wait to get a bigger palette and more beautiful eyeshadows. i also loved all the brushes i bought. i definitely need to get more brushes, especially face brushes. i gotta give Khroma Beauty props for their awesome eyelashes! i'm loving these two that i recently got. i'm also excited to try more OCC Lip Tar's! i have Grandma and i adore it because it's such a gorgeous shade. the Rimmel palette was a free gift from ULTA for reaching their level 2 rewards. i'm really digging the Milani powder foundation. as well as their color statement lipsticks! i gotta say, i've been into lipsticks and lip products since the beginning of the year and i can't get enough! these two NYX lippies are to die for, especially the lipgloss in 'Smokey Look'. it is such a sparkly gloss! Gorge! and last, but not least, the purple color tattoo. yes, i finally jumped on the Maybelline Color Tattoo bandwagon, lol. but i can't complain because i am absolutely loving the texture and the color. i must admit, i am content with my collective haul. i got a few awesome products at reasonable prices! you gotta love sales and coupons! i know i do! =) so, what makeup goodies have you purchased lately that you would recommend? <br />
until next time...thanks for stopping by! <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LLUSrXizn8o/UT-SgbTlqxI/AAAAAAAABEE/Uur3CoQeCss/s1600/42+CVS+Lipstick+Holder+yaya+alcala+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LLUSrXizn8o/UT-SgbTlqxI/AAAAAAAABEE/Uur3CoQeCss/s1600/42+CVS+Lipstick+Holder+yaya+alcala+FB23.JPG" width="203" /></a></div>
<br />
coincidentally i was on the hunt for some makeup storage because my makeup is pretty much scattered all over the floor and i desperately need some organization...ASAP! :/ lol. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rU7B68zI1Ks/UT-e0G5D6LI/AAAAAAAABE0/1me3gsM2IzY/s1600/43+NEED+storage+&+organization+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rU7B68zI1Ks/UT-e0G5D6LI/AAAAAAAABE0/1me3gsM2IzY/s1600/43+NEED+storage+&+organization+FB23.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
so needless to say that i was ecstatic when i saw these lipstick holders. CVS currently sells them for $4.99 USD each. i purchased 2 @ $4.99 USD/each but i had a 20% off coupon so instead of paying $9.98 USD i only paid $7.98 USD! gotta love coupons! =) i'm currently waiting for my next coupon from CVS so that i can go back and purchase some more! i'm thinking maybe 3 or 4 more...but we'll see. i also kinda wanna go to Target and Walmart, to see if they have any lipstick containers or any other type of makeup storage, before buying anymore of these lipstick holders from CVS. you know, just in case they have bigger containers and/or better deals. <br />
thanks for stopping by! until next time!... =) <br />

<br />
so the Fauna palette has three beautiful, shimmery eyeshadows, which i used for this eye look. and i finished off the look with my Glimmer lashes by Khroma Beauty! i definitely have to go back to ULTA to pick up some more of these amazing lashes! my liner is by Jordana, which i'm diggin' BUT i wish it was waterproof. if anyone knows of a good, inexpensive, waterproof liner please let me know. =) <br />
thanks for stopping by! until next time!... <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-234UByDHaKQ/USP2DflN9WI/AAAAAAAAA5s/ptMLp2ZC_Iw/s1600/37+Rimmel+Lasting+Finish+Matte+Kate+Moss+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-234UByDHaKQ/USP2DflN9WI/AAAAAAAAA5s/ptMLp2ZC_Iw/s320/37+Rimmel+Lasting+Finish+Matte+Kate+Moss+FB23.JPG" width="156" /></a></div>
<br />
this Rimmel lipstick is from one of Kate Moss' collections. the lipsticks in the red packaging are Matte; she also has another collection that comes in black packaging. <br />

<br />
when i first swatched this lipstick on my arm, it kind of looked pinky. but then when i applied it to my lips, it looked more on the coral-ly side. but nonetheless, it's a beautiful color. perfect for spring/summer! <br />
<br />

<br />
not only did i fall in love with the color BUT i also fell in love with the scent! it smells like a 'paleta de mango con chile', in my opinion, which is a Mexican lollipop. all in all, i was very content with this purchase! for me, this lipstick is a must have! it currently retails around $5 USD, give or take a few cents. (0.14 oz) <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EHFP0cU1nb0/UPh44stlZtI/AAAAAAAAAmM/JSJxQW0Xm4s/s1600/33+Jenni+Rivera+palette+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EHFP0cU1nb0/UPh44stlZtI/AAAAAAAAAmM/JSJxQW0Xm4s/s1600/33+Jenni+Rivera+palette+FB23.JPG" height="130" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
not only am i a fan of makeup palettes, but i'm also a fan of the late, great Jenni Rivera! (R.I.P. Jenni) i've been wanting this palette for some time now but after her untimely passing, it made me want it even more! as soon as i opened it, i fell in love with all the beautiful, bright colors. and i also loved the fact that her name was on the palette as well. as soon as i started swatching the eyeshadows, i noticed that the light shadows were a bit chalky and not as pigmented, but nothing to be concerned about since you could always build up the colors to your liking. the darker shadows were obviously more pigmented. and i was happy to find out that the blushes were nicely pigmented as well. my favorite blush definitely has to be the peachy matte color!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R_cAMcI5Xeo/UPh-ZCZahRI/AAAAAAAAAmg/4dHydi0T1AI/s1600/34+Jenni+Rivera+swatch+1+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R_cAMcI5Xeo/UPh-ZCZahRI/AAAAAAAAAmg/4dHydi0T1AI/s1600/34+Jenni+Rivera+swatch+1+FB23.JPG" height="105" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
even though the pink blushes are pretty, i'm more of a peachy kind of gal. so needless to say that i will be using the first two blushes more often than the other four. but they're all beautiful colors nonetheless! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bPL-HcL10Tg/UPh_0Rn1P2I/AAAAAAAAAm0/3_M2WsFdSJ0/s1600/35+Jenni+Rivera+swatch+2+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bPL-HcL10Tg/UPh_0Rn1P2I/AAAAAAAAAm0/3_M2WsFdSJ0/s1600/35+Jenni+Rivera+swatch+2+FB23.JPG" height="140" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the 15 eyeshadows on the left side of the palette (top picture) are darker shades for smoky looks. as well as some light shades for highlighting. while the other 15 eyeshadows on the right side of the palette (bottom picture) are more neutral, earth tone shades, which are best for everyday looks. i used the NYX jumbo pencil in Milk as a base, before swatching all the colors, so they would look more pigmented & true to color.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fMOd0GI6s8o/UPiBQEc-ZtI/AAAAAAAAAnI/PPMPn_ZO2kM/s1600/36+Jenni+Rivera+swatch+3+FB23.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fMOd0GI6s8o/UPiBQEc-ZtI/AAAAAAAAAnI/PPMPn_ZO2kM/s1600/36+Jenni+Rivera+swatch+3+FB23.JPG" height="149" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
this Jenni Rivera 36 Color Eyeshadow and Blush Palette by BH Cosmetics retails for $24.95 USD at the BH Cosmetics website. but luckily my hubby purchased it for only $18.00 USD when it was on sale. you gotta love sales! all in all, i was very pleased with this palette. it has a wide range of beautifully pigmented colors at a reasonable price, so you can't beat that! =) <br />
until next time...thanks for stopping by! <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iWD-3Atigiw/UOzRiVZYh2I/AAAAAAAAAfo/iTtb6llbjm4/s1600/31+Mariah+OPI+Liquid+Sand+fluttering+butterfly+yaya.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iWD-3Atigiw/UOzRiVZYh2I/AAAAAAAAAfo/iTtb6llbjm4/s1600/31+Mariah+OPI+Liquid+Sand+fluttering+butterfly+yaya.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
even though i'm not a fan of Mariah Carey, anymore, i still purchased this OPI Liquid Sand set of 4 mini nail lacquers because of all the pretty GLITTER! for the past month or so i've been on a glitter kick! i've been totally loving anything and everything with glitter! <3 so i was definitely excited to try these glittery nail polish shades! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8PcHJblpsMM/UOzRrymkw3I/AAAAAAAAAfw/qpKk94GuPkc/s1600/32+Mariah+OPI+Liquid+Sand+fluttering+butterfly+yaya.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8PcHJblpsMM/UOzRrymkw3I/AAAAAAAAAfw/qpKk94GuPkc/s1600/32+Mariah+OPI+Liquid+Sand+fluttering+butterfly+yaya.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
this set includes 4 mini nail lacquers (L-R) Get Your Number, Can't Let Go, The Impossible, and Stay The Night. The 'Liquid Sand' creates a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle. it's pretty awesome! please let me know if you would like to see swatches! the set currently retails for $12.95 USD at participating Ulta stores. but since i had a coupon, i only paid $9.45 USD which was a great deal! there are a total of 8 lacquers in this collection but only 4 are in this mini set called the 'Stage Shades'. the other 4, 'Studio Shades', are regular size. the regular size nail lacquers retail for $9.00 USD at participating Ulta stores. as of now, i have 'A Butterfly Moment' and 'Sprung', which are absolutely gorgeous shades! next on my list is 'Pink Yet Lavender'. hopefully i'll get it sometime this weekend! =) we'll see....lol. <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ne457tu4CIA/UMkahQo9iGI/AAAAAAAAAd0/qVKo0Sc1aeE/s1600/30+Hard+Candy+Glossaholic+Vanilla+&+Coffee+fluttering+butterfly+yaya.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ne457tu4CIA/UMkahQo9iGI/AAAAAAAAAd0/qVKo0Sc1aeE/s320/30+Hard+Candy+Glossaholic+Vanilla+&+Coffee+fluttering+butterfly+yaya.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the name of the lipgloss is Glossaholic by Hard Candy. i was on the hunt for Coffee #374 and to my surprise i noticed that there were two different glittery, scented lipglosses to choose from. of course i had to buy them both! there were other glittery lipglosses as well but they were in different shades and the other two were clear so i chose both of the clear, glittery glosses in Coffee and Vanilla. there are no words to describe how beautiful these lipglosses are! not to mention the fact that Vanilla smells soooo good! delish! the Coffee lipgloss smells alright. i've only tried the Vanilla lipgloss, so far, on top of a matte purple lipstick and Oh Em Gee....i LOVED it! @CindyGomez was right, it looks awesome on dark lip colors! =) thanks @CindyGomez. i think i definitely need to check out the rest of the Glossaholic collection! i purchased these two lipglosses at my local Walmart Supercenter for $5.00 USD. i can't wait to try some more! let me know if you would like to see some swatches. have you tried any of these Hard Candy Glossaholic lipglosses? =) <br />
until next time....thanks for stopping by! <br />

<br />

<br />
aside from the blushes, i also purchased nine lip products, three eyeshadow palettes, two nail files, and some glitter. PURPLE glitter! =) perfect for the holiday season! and any other time of the year! <br />
until next time... thanks for stopping by! <br />

the lipsticks appear to be glossy but they're not. the sun was kinda melting them since i placed them by the window. i was just trying to get the best lighting but i think i'll have to find a better spot, lol.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1os0sd0Zmyk/UITVQUg3m6I/AAAAAAAAAa4/ADApvYfSgwQ/s1600/21+WnW+Flora+EOTD+yaya.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1os0sd0Zmyk/UITVQUg3m6I/AAAAAAAAAa4/ADApvYfSgwQ/s320/21+WnW+Flora+EOTD+yaya.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the flora trio comes with a light, shimmery yellow green eyeshadow, a shimmery emerald green eyeshadow, and a matte orange eyeshadow. i used the emerald green on my lid, over a black base and the matte orange on my crease. then i used a little bit of the matte brown eyeshadow, from the i <3 matte palette, on my crease to darken it up a bit. and as always, to finish up my look, i used my favortie lashes #205 by eylure. on my lips i used wet n' wild's Bare It All megalast lip color, one of my faves, topped off with my too faced lipgloss in Pillow Talk. i've been diggin' this combo lately! and as i mentioned in a previous post, i've been totally loving wet n' wild beauty products! right now i'm on the hunt for the new limited edition eight pan palette in Shimmer The Night Away. i haven't had any luck yet but i'm hoping i'll find it before it's sold out. <br />
until next time....thanks for stopping by!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8K4SlYG0SI8/UG0SkuOUYhI/AAAAAAAAAaU/dZjcZc4ISPU/s1600/20+WnW+Vanity+EOTD+yaya.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8K4SlYG0SI8/UG0SkuOUYhI/AAAAAAAAAaU/dZjcZc4ISPU/s320/20+WnW+Vanity+EOTD+yaya.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
i used four eyeshadows from the Vanity palette: the three matte eyeshadows and the bottom shimmery shadow. my lashes, by eylure #205, finished off this 'daytime smoky' look. i was pretty content with the outcome of this look considering we only went out to grab a quick bite to eat. this is usually a look i sport when i go out at night. i love this palette because since the colors are more on the neutral side, there are a variety of looks that can be created! it's just too bad that this palette is no longer available. hopefully Wet n' Wild will come out with something similar, in the near future. now that i've done a look for each of the four Wet n' Wild 6 pan palettes, i think i'll move on to their limited edition springtime eyeshadow trios! stay tuned for that! and as always, thanks for stopping by! until next time... <br />

i wore brown capris slacks with a teal top along with these butterfly earrings and this cute charm bracelet. and i finished off my outfit with this super cute clutch, which i got for xmas last year. it's from Charlotte Russe! on my feet i wore a pair of open toe sandals with a small heel, perfect to walk in all night long. and as always, i splashed on some of my favorite perfume, Carolina Herrera 212. i never leave home without it! since i take forever to get ready, i didn't have any time to style my hair so i just wore it down. but after drinking a few Coronas i got hot and put my hair up in a ponytail....FAIL. lol! my hubby and i had an awesome time. the food was amazing and they played good music! i can't wait to go out again! until next time...thx for stopping by!<br />

<br />
this WnW 6 pan palette contains three matte eyeshadows and three shimmery ones, like most six pan palettes. i used two matte shades, on my lid and crease, and one shimmery shade on my tear duct. and of course i added some lashes to dress up the look! the lashes i used are from e.l.f. i've been totally diggin' the eyelashes from eyes.lips.face! i'm glad i still have a few left. the only complaint i have about the wnw greed palette is that the purplish shadow is not pigmented at all. at least not mine. =( i've seen swatches of this eyeshadow on google and this shade looks sooo pigmented so i am a little bummed out that my shade isn't. especially since PURPLE is my favorite color! but oh well, it is what it is. until next time... <br />

i've mainly owned black purses but in the past couple years i've gravitated towards colorful ones. and i recently noticed that i don't own any black purses anymore so i'm beyond exstatic to add this pretty handbag to my collection. although this purse is medium size, it is very spacious! it has several compartments to fit all the necessities. it's perfect for everyday use or for a night out, whether it be a girls night out or date night. so with that being said, i can't wait to start using this handbag. and since i've been loving purses lately, i know what i'll be aking Santa for this Christmas! =) thanks again Misela! i really do appreciate it! <3 until next time... <br />

<br />
i applied Ravin' Raisin to the outer corners and Dollhouse Pink in the center. then i just used my lips to blend the two colors together. although the two lip colors are beautiful, individually, i think they are prettier when used together! i'm really diggin' this lipstick combo bcuz i <em>love</em> me some purple! i've been wearing this combo for the past couple weeks. i'm so excited to start combining other lip colors! my sister purchased Ravin' Raisin at her local Albertsons and gave it to me and Dollhouse Pink was a gift from my awesome friend Emily M. = SuPpErMiZzFrEsH86. thanks again Q! <3 <br />

right off the bat, i knew that these lipstick tubes were not the best quality but it really didn't bother me because the product, itself, is amazing! these shades are absolutely pigmented and gorgeous! <br />

<br />
the wet n' wild website says: "MEGA LAST<sup>®</sup> LIP COLOR<br />
<div class="pDesc">
Lips take center stage! This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E help smooth lips". </div>

<br />
i agree with wet n' wild's product detail. these lip colors are longwearing and semi-matte with a creme finish. but i would recommend using a lip balm before applying the lip color.<br />

the pigmentation is amazing which makes these lip colors a must have! i still have a few i'm looking for, to add to my lil' collection. no doubt i recommend these mega last lip colors by wet n' wild! i purchased mine at my local Walmart Supercenter for $1.97 USD. have you picked up any mega last lip colors? which ones are your faves? <br />
until next time...thanks for stopping by! <br />
