I wanted to add a little purple glitter liner to the top of my lids but that was a bad idea. It started to flake off after I used some eye drops. So lesson learned… use glitter liner only on the bottom lash line if you have sensitive eyes. It has been almost a year since I’ve worn top glitter liner so I was hoping things changed. I guess not and I was stuck with some puffy eyes at the end of the night

But at least the beginning photos were pretty

Hi Everyone!!

I recently bought 3 highlighters that Urban Decay sells. I purchased Moonstone, Wicked & Brown Sugar. Urban Decay has a sale going on right now where you can purchase the UrbanGlow Highlighters for $6 EACH compared to the original price of $24!! I love these products! I apply them on to my cheekbone with my finger & it creates the perfect glow.

Moonshine: I love this one. Because I am fair-skinned, this was the perfect one for me. (1st highlighter in the above picture). It has a rainbow look to it, yet creates the perfect shine. Whether you’re light skinned or dark skinned, this one is perfect!

Brown Sugar- Because I am fair-skinned, I thought that I would not like this one as much, yet I love it! It’s got some gold in it & is just the perfect highlighter for summer! (2nd Highlighter in the above picture)

Wicked: This is a great highlight if you want to add a bit of a peach-pink tint to your cheeks. Would go great with some pink blush!  (3rd Highlighter in the above picture)

These highlighters are so great! I think you should give them a try… at least one, if not all   For the price, you can’t go wrong!

Where to Buy: http://www.clarisonic.com

Pros: Super Soft, Great for sensitive skin, and the beads are not harsh or rough.

Cons: can be hard to get off skin

Packaging: It is a squeeze tube. The product is a yellowish liquid that is pearlized. It looks like there is a shimmer to it but there really is not. Product size shown in picture is 2 oz.

Review: When I used this Polish the state of my skin was horrible. I had dry flaky patches on my skin. GROSSSS! Lol I was super amazing what this skin polish did. It really felt luxurious. It smelled amazing. It smells like a spa. When I put it on my skin I instantly felt the dead skin come off my face. It did not hurt or feel weird. It felt like I was rubbing salt on my skin. The bead granules are so small but not small enough to get stuck in your pores. Jojoba beans are really good for your skin. It did not feel harsh like some face scrubs and afterwards I really felt like my skin was refreshed and cleaned and ready for the day. I felt my skin was also brighter in clarity. The face polish did not leave my skin feeling dry. There was a smooth texture to it. I also like the way my skin looked after a few days. A good thing to know that with the smaller scrubbing beads you need to make sure you rinse your face after to insure that you get all of the polish and dead skin off your face.

Overall: If you could get your hands on this… Get it! I feel that this beats some of the higher end skin polishes out there. Just remember you do not need to have a Clarisonic to use this product.

Hi Everyone!  Check out this Lip Tar called Grandma in the new packaging! Lips Tars are long lasting like lipsticks, however applied like a lip gloss with a nice, matte finish! OCC Lip Tars are so pigmented, probably one of the best pigmented lip products ever! A little goes a long way… Less is more! They are $14 and you get about .33 FL OZ of product with about 36 different colors to choose from. The best thing about these lips tars is that you can mix 2 or more colors & create different colors for different looks! The lip tars do have a peppermint scent to it, so for those who do not like scented products, you might not want to invest in lip tars! And last but not least, this is a vegan product! Thank you for reading & I hope this was helpful.

I love blue eyeshadow but for some reason it will always oxidize on me. But not today!!!

When I say Oxidize I mean it goes from blue to gunmetal gray.. its not as exciting. But I think my Baby Blue Nyx Jumbo Pencil saved the day!

I hope you like this look and try it out. Let me know what colors you want to see next.
