Beauty Wish List!

Hey Beautiful!

I've had my eye on a lot of products and brands that I want to try! So why not share what I'm coveting to my lovely followers? Perhaps I'll be a bad influence to you and peak your interest in some pretty things. (I'm really good at this!)

I've been re-watching some Michelle Phan videos and agh! I want everything! There are three products that I'm loving from her line.

1. Waterliner in "Black Night" Take a look!
2. Lip Gallery creamy color matte lipstick in Just Fab
3. Color Facets sparkling shadow top coats in Gold Divine

Michelle's products look fantastic! It's really unfortunate that I have not tried any of them out.  Luckily, I have these three products in mind for the near future! (My sister's senior ball. I could totally use these on her!)

The next two products are either limited edition or not available in the United States.
1. Milani Rose Blush in Tea Rose

Currently these are my most coveted makeup items.  What are yours?

Until Next Time!

Bed Bath & Beyond Mini Haul!

I rarely ever shop at Bed Bath & Beyond but today I went out into the city with some friends that I live with and to my amazement, I came across their massive beauty section.  What was so wonderful about this beauty section is that it held cosmetics brands that I cannot find at my local Target, Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart.  Obviously, each of these drug stores sell select products from brands as well as select brands.  However, Bed Bath & Beyond sold brands that I never see anywhere! I have not even seen some of these brands at Ulta.

Another beautiful thing about BBB is that they sell new products.  For example, I have been searching everywhere for CoverGirl's Hunger Games collection. I even wrote a past post on the collection.  I have finally found a small collection at BBB.  

Here are the other items I purchased:
All of these products are fairly new from cosmetics lines such as Maybelline, CoverGirl, Revlon, Sally Hansen, and L'oreal.   From Maybelline, I purchased one of their new Color Elixir shades in "Caviar Couture".  From CoverGirl I purchased Hunger Games glosstini shade "Inferno".  From Revlon, I purchased one polish from the line's brand new polish collection, "Parfumerie Nail Enamels"! Here is a close up photo:
I purchased the shade "Bordeaux" because I am absolutely in love with the shade.  The product claims to have a scent when dry.  Unfortunately, I have a fresh new mani, and so I will have to test this out on my friend.

Continuing on to my purchases, from the Sally Hansen cosmetics line, I purchased two polishes from the brand new Triple Shine collection.  Also from Revlon cosmetics, I purchased one Colorburst lacquer balm and one Colorburst matte balm.  Finally, from L'oreal, I purchased the new "Voluminous Butterfly" mascara. Here is a close-up photo:

I am so thrilled about all of these new purchases and will be testing them out soon.  After I try them out, I will release a blog post on both swatches and reviews.  If you have purchased or seen any of these products, feel free to state your opinion on the products in a comment below!

Until next time!

September Favorites!

September Favorites

Happy October, beautifuls!  I figured that I should reflect on my favorite beauty items that I have been loving during the month of October.  We have finally entered the fall season, and I love fall makeup and fashion.  This is probably my favorite season when it comes to beauty and style choices.  Also, living in San Francisco always gives me the excuse to stick to my fall wardrobe.  When wearing my Fall wardrobe, I can usually go with fall makeup colors as well.

Let's begin!

Revlon's "Mauve it Over"

This is one of my absolute favorite lipsticks of all time.  It is a "my lips but better" kind of shade.  It is also a matte shade from the Revlon lipstick line.  It is a neutral/everyday shade and I do not think I will ever get sick of it!


Benefit's "Sugarbomb" ultra plush gloss is beyond amazing.  I find this gloss to be the best gloss out of Benefit's line.  I actually like pairing this gloss up with Revlon's "Mauve it Over".  My lips look like perfection with the pair and I will recommend this shade to anybody!


THIS MASCARA IS AMAZING. I also feel as if it is underrated.  Loreal's "Voluminous Million Lashes" is a fabulous mascara from the drugstore.  It makes my lashes look so full and I found that I had absolutely no clumps.  This is my new favorite pick, I find it better than many mascaras such as Benefit's "They're Real" mascara. I am in love!


I am obsessed with all of Benefit Cosmetics' "Rockateur" (their newest Box O' Powder).  I am obsessed with all of Benefit's box o' powders and I make it a point to buy every single one.  I love each shade and I love their staying power.  Rockateur gives my cheeks the perfect rosegold glow.  I am very happy with this purchase, and have been trying it out on my friends.  It honestly looks good on every skin tone.


Mac's Captive is one of the best lipsticks in their collection of shades.  It is a berry shade that can be built up to look edgy and dramatic or applied lightly to give the lips a berry stained look.  It works well on may skin tones, and the fact that it is a build-able color is always a nice factor for me when it comes to lipsticks.  It is one of my go-to lipsticks.
Benefit's Dallas is one of the BEST box o' powders of the whole company's makeup line.  In fact, it is one of their greatest products of all time.  I know so many people that own this particular shade, I have re-purchased this shade, and it never gets old.  It gives me cheeks the perfect glow.  This is a holy grail item for not just me, but many girls.  If there is any blush for you to invest in, it is this one!

Another one of Benefit's greatest products from their entire line.  Hoola.  It is one of the best bronzers you can every get your hands on.  It is the perfect bronzer shade, it is matte, and it blends so well into the skin.  I not only use this on myself, but friends and whomever's makeup I am currently applying.  You cannot go wrong with this product, if is a bronzer "must have".  If you purchase this product, you will not be disappointed, and it will become a holy grail item to you.


This has been my favorite hair product for months!  It detangles my hair, keeps it shiny, keeps it soft, and keeps it looking its best.  I can go a couple weeks longer before having to get a trim when using this product.  I also own the bigger bottle. I received it as a gift last year, and I just hit the halfway mark.  It is one of the greatest investments for your hair.

The Lorac Pro Palette is one of the best shadow palettes you could ever own.  It has both matte and satin finish shades, the color selection can go from day to night.  You can create the perfect smokey eye, as well as an every day look.  This palette holds sixteen beautiful shades, you cannot go wrong with it!  I use this every day!

The Macadamia products are a big hit in the beauty world.  All of my favorite beauty gurus own this product.  This is a new product that I recently purchased, and I am already in love with it.  It keeps my hair looks fresh and healthy, and my hair is ultra smooth after one use.  Your locks are gonna feel so good after trying out this nice deep conditioning product.


Titanium plate straighteners are said to be better for you hair.  Using a straightener daily can take a toll on you hair, and so investing in a good straightener for your hair can change your life! Your hair will thank you..and you'll thank yourself in the long run.  This Babyliss Nano Titanium straightener is somewhat expensive, but it is such an amazing hair tool.  It straightens my hair and it my hair will remain straightened for the rest of the day.  I do regret purchasing this on a whim one bit.  Your hair literally looks like you walked out of a hair salon after using it.




Last, but not least! My Aromatherapy Stress Relief Sugar Scrub.  It makes my body extremely soft as well clearing my senses and relaxing me.  I suggest steaming up your shower, stepping in, and inhaling deeply as you scrub down your body.  I also suggest to use this product during a night time shower, you will sleep like a baby.  Since it is midterm season here at USF, this will be my evening pick-me-up.

There you have it, my September favorites.  Don't be surprised to see these items pop up in future monthly favorites and/or staple items posts.  They're not my "favorite" for nothing!
