A little Frivolous Shopping………..

…..won’t hurt nobody. I went out shopping the other day after a longgg time (ok 3 weeks), and usually I always end up buying something makeup or hair related but this time I switched it up and got a purse.

This cute little messenger bag only cost me 20 bucks on sale. I was in need of a new small weekend bag for errands, shopping or lunch with the sis and this was just perfect.

It kind of looks big now that I see it in photos, but it’s rather small, perfect for just my wallet, keys, grocery lists, sunglasses, phone and maybe gloves……

While impulse shopping not too long ago, I remembered that Glamorous Glory Featured Revlon’s Black cherry a while back and after seeing it on a few blogs I finally gave in and got my hands on it. On glamorous glory it looked like a deep wine color which I loved, but on my skin tone it goes on very red with a slight hint of wine.

Either way I’m sooo loving this color and I wear it everyday with MAC’s Love Rush blush and winged liner.



In somewhat Natural Light



I also got a few things by maybelline. First with the concealer from Maybelline’s FIT line in medium, being the concealer freak that I am. I don’t like it too much because it goes on a bit too sheer and liquidy for my liking. The color match is perfect though, so I just keep it for those light makeup days.

So another beauty blogger enabling my impulse shopping is the lovely lady over at Beauty Ambition where she featured this fabulous lipstick called Pink me up. I have yet to swatch it but you can take a look at Beauty Ambition’s swatch and see why I fell in love with this color. It’s very creamy, the color payoff is amazing and worth the 5 bucks.

 I also tried Maybelline’s Falsies mascara and like it even though after about 2 strokes you have to be careful since it tends to clump. I like it and still use it because it does not smudge considering how dam oily my lids and eye area seems to be.

Two very impressive Re-purchases from N.Y.C has been their brow kit and liquid liner. These are my favorites especially the brow kit. I got it in brunette and it’s the perfect match and fills in my brows beautifully leaving them looking very natural. The liquid liner is a must! It does not smudge at all and lasts hours and for under 2 bucks definitely a must have.

And last but not least a look I did with wet N wild’s Palette in Vanity.

Yes a tutorial is in the horizon if I could just ever figure out the right lighting, sequence, eye lids etc.lol  For those who wonder and have asked, I used to get my eyebrows threaded but recently have been waxing since I find I get a much better and defined shape. In between I pluck…..

Revlon Berry Haute Lipstick

 A few weeks back I have been meaning to find a kind of purple/pink lipstick since I been feeling in a plummy mood lately and wanted to experiment with plums and lavender.

So I headed out to my local drugstore and was browsing revlon’s lipsticks and found berry haute to be an interesting color. I tried it in the parking lot with natural light and loved it instantly. Berry haute looks kind of purple but it has some pink in it as well.

In the photo below the lipstick photographed in it’s true color but in the other pictures it comes off as pink.

(natural light)

This is the closest shot I got in showing the true color. I like this lipstick and looks very well on me with a dark tan I know I will have in the coming weeks. On some skin tones I’m sure it may look weird with all the purple undertones but overall I’m liking it so far and i’m looking for a plum blush to pair it with.

I hope to find a nice plum blush to pair it with right now i’m using cover girls plum blush but I need something more with a lighter purple undertone. I don’t know how purple/plum blush may look with my skin tone but I love plum colored blushes so we’ll see what I find that does not leave me looking bruised.
