Benefit's "Hello Flawless" powder does exactly what it says:
creates a flawless finish. I
love the packaging bc it's just so
fun, but also it's
chic . Inside you get a brush, which you are supposed to use for just a
light coverage. The sponge inside is supposed to help you get a fuller coverage on any trouble spots where there are
blemishes or
discoloration. It
definitely is a
wonderful foundation :)
ProsBuildable coverage
Perfect shade for my skin
Not cakey
Lightweight formula
Cute packaging
Great for dry or oily gals
ConsRange of color isn't great
It costs 30 bucks
Okay, really you cannot get a more
perfect,
pigmented,
long lasting lipstick. Nuff' said, girl .
It is
Yves Saint Laurent's Rouge Pur Perfect Lipstick in
Rosy Coral #52. This is the most
electrifying pink coral lipstick that I have found ! It really gets me so excited talking about it bc I
love the darn little tube of lipstick so much .
I wore this lipstick throughout a
whole 6 hour shift . I came home ate a turkey burger, pot stickers, and drank juice. Guess what? It was
STILL intact :)
This makes a happy Steph . Even after it starts to wear off you still end up with a
pretty stain .
Ahhh .. this is every girl's lipstick of her dreams . Well, at least it is for this
girl !
Orange lips are
hot for Spring 2011 but if you have a lighter skin tone like me, then you know that orange looks horrendous on you !!
Instead, go for a
pretty bright coral like
YSL's Rosy Coral :) It'll make ya
happyLUSH
So I wasn't planning on going to
Lush, but the
intoxicating smells just
lured me in and
BAM I spent 15
bucks haha
The girls there are just so niiice :) it just makes me love this place even more .
The Lush I went to was the one in Macy's on State st. & Randolph in Chicago.
I got their UltraBalm which is a moisturizing balm for any part of your body. Basically, it's Lush's version of vaseline ! This stuff is super soft to the touch and definitely moisturizes.
It's made with no petroleum which is pretty darn sweet ! It's all natural and some of the ingredients include:candalilla wax ,jojoba oil, rose wax
All of these help to soothe irritation due to dry skin & help moisturize it.
In conclusion, this UltraBalm is bombbbb .
I got my
first bath bomb ! ! Hooray for me
ee
Okay so it is the
infamous Sex Bomb (right). Supposedly this bath bomb has
aphrodisiac scents that are supposed to
warm "your heart and other body parts" .
Woah ... that's so
enticing! The smells include
jasmine, clary sage, ylang ylang .
Lover town here I come
;) <3
Of course, I had to get some glittery goodness. The sparkly gold one is a Sunny Side Bubble Bar. Oh yeaaa, I can't wait to take a glittery gold bubble bath soon . So, the water turns gold and glittery while it smells like citrus.
MAC
Omgosh, it's my long lost love . We've reunited once again !!! Oh how I've missed you MAC . I remember when you were once my everything & now we only say "hi" once in a while....
Anyway! I only got 2 products from the Quite Cute collection . 1st is a lip pencil called, "In Synch" . Which I probably would have gotten anyway cos it sounds a lot like *NSYNC
It's such a pretty nude retro pink . I say retro cos it reminds of a color from the 70's . It's kinda Twiggy-ish . IDK ! I just know that I like it, betch. No need for an explanation ;)
The most exciting part of this small MAC haul is my lipstick in "Candy Yum Yum". It is the prettiest, neon pink lip color. My goodness it's just so perfect for a girl who loves to have fun with her makeup ! I am so excited to wear this lipstick out ! It just screams cute happy girl.
