Urban Decay Dew Me (Moisturizing Setting Spray)

I tested this product last month and I was not sold on paying $30 dollars at the time, but Urban Decay recently had a 20% discount off all merchandise with online orders and I decided to go for it.  What I like about this product is that it does not leave my face feeling tight and it's especially made for dry skin.

Revlon Photo Ready Concealer

 

I decided to seek out a new concealer.  I find that I mostly use MAC products and wanted to branch out and see what the drugstore brands are all about.  I picked up the Revlon Photo Ready Concealer #6.  I must say this looks and feels exactly like my MAC NW40 Studio Finish Concealer but way less in price...  At least I now know I can get a less expensive alternative to use going forward.  I highly recommend checking this line out.  I'm going to try out the foundations from the Revlons Photo Ready line next.

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss

How fun are these colors!  The colors from left to right are Natural, Sweet Heart, Tea Rose and Sugar Pie.  I wanted to add more to my lipgloss collection and could not pass these up.  The NYX lip glosses have a very fruity smell to them as well.  The finish is really shiny and long lasting.  so far I've paired Natural with MAC Lipstick Spirit (see below).  I used MAC Lip Liner color Soar.

Mini Mac Purchase

Okay, so I have an obsession with MAC products.  I dropped by after watching one of my favorite youtube channels determined to find a lipstick that she mentioned in a tutorial and thought she got the name wrong, but I found it (one of the girls at the MAC store misguided me into thinking it did not exist).  So on this visit I picked up a MAC Lipstick - Spirit, MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation NW50 (for years I thought I was NW45 - way too red) and a new shadow - Haux. 

I've already tried out the lipstick and it's going to become a repeat color for me.  I also pair it with NYX Lipgloss - Natural for ultimate shine but it looks just as good on it's own.

My New Train Case!

It's finally here!  I am so excited that I finally received my first train case.  I purchased it from a company called Makeup Artist Network, but once I opened the package I discovered the company that actually makes the case is called Sunrise.  Other sites such as Amazon was selling the same case for less.  Oh well, you live and you learn.  Overall I am happy with the purchase...we'll see how it holds up.  The size is perfect and it's very spacious.  One of the main reasons why I decided to purchase this case is because it is heat resistant.  I  also like the fact that it has 3 trays on each side and a large/deep compartment below the trays which is great for holding larger items such as eyeshadow palettes.  Take a look at my video My New Train Case!

Forever XXI

Forever XXI always has unique earrings.  I picked up these three beauties recently.  I am a big fan of gold and silver tones.  When it comes to my rings I always purchase real silver or gold and especially love gem stones in my jewelry such as turquoise, amethyst or aventurine…but I don't mind splurging on costume jewelry when I purchase earrings. 

Mac Blush

Could not pass up this blush from MAC.  I was looking for another color  - Fabulush, and it was out of stock at every MAC retailer that I went to and I did not want to order it online. So I ended up going with this color Raizin  - a youtube vlogger that I watch recommended it.  From the moment I swatched it on my hand I knew it was the right color for me.  Not to mention it is so silky soft when applying.  It gives just the right amount of color as well.

 

 

Mac Lipgloss

I was watching one of my favorite youtube channels and the vlogger was doing a tutorial on her makeup application for the night out.  I could have sworn she said her LIPSTICK was the color Spite.  I went looking for this and was told that they had a LIPGLOSS called Spite. I did a swatch on my hand and liked it.  I used it today and I really like the suttleness of the color.  I will most likely pair it with a lipstick in a similar shade just to make it stand out a bit more, but overall it's not a bad shade.

Magic Mouse by Apple

I'm going to start doing a lot of editing on my Macbook Pro laptop and need a simpler way to drag thumbnails etc.  I picked up the Magic Mouse from my local Apple store and it acts just like the pad built in the computer excepts it external. 

I love the look and feel of it.  The price was $69 but there are so many different ways to use it that it was worth the price.
