Random Midnight Look

So I put together this face for a contest but I suck at reading and so I'm not sure I followed the rules correctly lol  soI like it and I think it came out pretty good.

I really love purple <3 This look made me realize that most of my loose pigments are pink and purple and green lol I need to diversify a bit more so I'm scoping out some good colors to order next paycheck.

To be honest, I'm thinking the BH Cosmetics 120 palette and the E.L.F. 100 palette (since my Target JUST started carrying it in stock, yay! ) but im not sure yet.

ON TO THE LOOK 

i was trying to recreate a celeb look  &
i chose this picture of katy perry 
she is so gorgeous <3

i'm not really used to wearing blush so i wasn't sure how much to put on without looking like a drag queen or a prostitute lol

lucious lips thanks to high voltage cosmetics

I love mail lol and I stalk the mailman everyday since I get packages so often ! lol He's even been asking weird questions about them, and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm a drug dealer lmao But recently in the mail I got a package from High Voltage Cosmetics ! (: I had ordered 2 lip candies from a sale she had a while back and they finally came, yay! This was my first order with this company and I can say it was a good one. I did order during a sale so shipping was super fast but considering how many orders she got within a few hours, it wasn't so bad. I ordered 2 lip candies, Gagalicious and Fire Woman <3 

Site Description of Lip Candy 
 Lip Candies are packed with colour and punch! Lip Candies are a highly pigmented lipstick that is hydrating. Stays put, glides on effortlessly and is long lasting! Lip Candies come in an array of colours and finishes! New colours are always added so check back often! Each Lip Candy comes to you black slim lime tube with 0.07 product. This formula is vegan and comes scented with a light peppermint scent. 

Ingredients:
Caranuba Wax,Candellia Wax,Microcrystalline Wax,Castor Oil,Vitamin E,Mica,Tin Oxide,Maganese Violet,Yellow #5,Blue #1,Red 40,Oxides,Titanium Dioxide,Grapseed Oil,Sweet Almond Oil,Sunflower Oil,Peppermint oil,vanilla bean extract. 

and now some pictures ;)

gagalicious and fire woman

i seriously fell in love with these <3 and im pretty sure i need more now lol i got these on sale because she changed the packaging into traditional lipstick tubes so little pots like this aren't what you would get anymore. I'm happy for the lipstick tubes though, I don't own a lip brush so I had to improvise a bit ;P they both feel like she described though. i had no problem applying evenly and they didn't dry out my lips or make me feel like i had layers of goop on. 

 Now Gagalicious is a very pretty pale pink with a little lavender and it's different than any lipstick i've ever tried before so I felt a little weird using it at first but it grew on me and I think it may be my favorite out of the two. 
Its different, bold, and loved by me <3 
happy lips (:
so freakin pretty <3
the other is fire woman which is a kind of a pretty pinkish red, i love it because it gives my lips a little oompf to make them just the right amount of sexy. It's a great everyday shade for me. I see myself wearing it a lot to work 
mujer de fuego
Aren't they pretty?! (: I'm pretty satisfied with my order and am already planning my next one. I just checked her site and TAT is about 10 days right now, which isn't to bad. She has pretty affordable prices too. The lip candy are only $6.50 each and come with a decent amount. I'm thinking I may try "Monroe" and "Crazy For You" next. She does offer sample sizes in her lip candy for $1.75 as well.  I've heard great things about this company and I'm glad I finally have gotten a chance to check her out. Hope you liked my mini review of my new pretty things <3 I really love indie makeup companies and am always open to new things I find from them. 


Do you buy indie as well or are you strictly a store bought kind of gal? lemme know (:

let's play tag in the dark?

while reading some of my favorite blogs, i saw  this post on dgsbeauty.com and it looked like fun (: 

1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lip-glosses or lose all of your palettes and eye shadows?
my palettes and eye shadows, though saying this hurts a little lol i love lipstick <3 and mascara and eyeliner <3 i NEVER forget lipstick lol

2) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
i'd chop it off and buy a wig lol i can't stand having my hair too too long
even though im currently trying to grow it out lol

3) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
i actualy just started using blush lol so maybe pink?

4) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
omg, this is hard. do accessories count in with clothes? then clothes but im pretty sure i'd sneak in some makeup wants lol

5) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
hmm, i think eyeliner as a lipstick cause i would ruin my lipstick on my eye lol

6) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Sephora because i've never tried MAC and im not made of money lol 

7) Would you rather only use one eye shadow color or one lip color the rest of your life?
lip color, my fav pink and i will stay in love forever  <3
the same eyeshadow color would get boring i think

8) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
summer clothes in the winter because florida doesnt get too chilly 

9) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
hmm, i could live with constant black nails ;D

10) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
hmm, my fav eye product i guess ): i can always find another similar ):

11) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
messy bun, i've never really liked ponytails lol

12) Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip-gloss?
ehhh, i use lipgloss but i prefer lipstick and i love having my nails done so bye bye lipgloss :P

13) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all? Or sharpie them in everyday?
hello sharpie. i hate the way it looks but better than none lol

14) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
this is a mean question lol i guess nail polish , ill use that sharpie to color them in hahahaha

So its 3 am and i can't sleep so i decided to play with my sample from Rag Dolls Bath & Beauty (: 
here is what i ended up with (on UrbanDecay primer)

The color is Blue Balls from Rag Dolls B&B and I won it in a giveaway they had <3 
needless to say , its gorgeous! 
u can see the metallic a lil better in this one
 
THE WEBSITE DESCRIPTION:

A medium blue, metallic mineral eyeshadow.

We love makeup just as much as you do and that is why we do what we do. Each pigment is handcrafted with a special professional level of skill. We pour all of our love into each and every product that we make.

shipping ranged from $0.75 - $1.50 from what I saw

Drugstore Love (:

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. I was lost in the sea of food and sun lol (:
I didn't do anything too crazy BUT I did stop by Sephora (for the first time) and joined their membership club :D yay!  It was soo much make-up ! It was great and fun and I wanted to buy everything ! tehe but I settled on just buying some Urban Decay eye primer. woot! its soo great. It spreads easier than my MK eye primer and it makes the colors pop more and last longer. I swear I was shocked when I wiped my eye and nothing came off lol My usual routine of just washing my makeup off with my cleanser may not work anymore. Any makeup remover suggestions? 
I also love the M.U.F.E. sample that came with my order. I've never tried them before and it was such a pretty purple (: I can't wait to swatch it and try it out, maybe tomorrow ;) 

Today I was using my Wet N Wild Palette "Blue had me at hello", 
and this is an AWESOME palette. <3 I seriously could live off of just this one for a while . 
I used my Urban Decay Primer and the lovely eyelid color (: 
lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove

My camera memory card is being weird so I have to empty and reformat it so these pix are taken on my cell camera, the close up eye isnt as accurate as the other further away (prolly cause i took them at different times). I will work on gettin some swatches on these colors so you can appreciate cause i dont think these pix do it justice. 


Do you guys have a fav drugstore palette? 
Im a lil broke for Indie or High End brands so drugstore and me are about to get a whole lot closer (:



the full face (er well half face) is a little bit after application and the close up is just before bed
