Beauty wants-wishlist for May!

      Hi beauties! I want to give myself a pat on the back for making another post, not only am I going to be posting more frequently (I hope) but I really enjoy blogging and sharing my thoughts with you guys. I recently created a polyvore which explains the template for this lovely collage. I don't know why I never made one before, it's pretty awesome. But anyways to the products, disclaimer: I didn't know if I should classify these products as my wishlist or just as my wants for May because a lot of these products are quite reasonable (excluding MAC considering it's more on the pricey-er side) but I've been wanting these products for a while just haven't really got to it or set out a budget for it to be honest. So... here I am! Being the procrastinator (that I am deeply ashame but whole heart-ed-ly admit to being), I plan on getting either a few of these products or at least one to check off my "wish-want list". I know that a lot of these products are well known having heard tons of reviews of them so far, some good - some bad. When I do purchase these products I'd like to do a review of my own because although I appreciate, respect and often turn to reviews personally, whither it'd be on a movie or a beauty product, I strongly believe you don't truly know something unless you've tried or experienced it yourself. I mean everyone thinks different right? At least with somethings. I think often times we forget that and get ourselves wrapped around reviews and everyone else's opinion. SO... enough with my useless speech lol and on with my wish-want whateva list :-) :

(p.s. this isn't really in any particular order to what I want the most of least I just assorted the products by size and yeah I also just felt like typing numero uno haha)

NUMERO UNO:  Any type of brown gel eyeliner. Brown gel liner I needs you in my life babeee? The main reason I've been wanting a brown gel liner is for my eyebrows. They been looking ratchet as ever lately with just powder and I didn't even used an angled brush -talk about disaster-. (yes I just used the word ratchet, people it's that time of night ha excuse me) I'm considering getting Elf studio's brown gel  liner or they're eyebrow kit in dark which comes with a dark brown gel liner similar to the one in the collage and a powder. They both retail for $3.00.

2:  M.A.C Lustre drops, Retail: $21.00. I know that Maccosmetics.com describes this as a bronzer which I guess could be a possible answer to what it is but I wouldn't use this as just any bronzer. I would love to put some of this stuff as an over all highlight maybe put some drops in my foundation I think the finish of it would look so beautiful.

3. Ben Nye Banana Nut Powder $13.99 3.oz via Camerareadycosmetics.com. So everyone knows this as the highlight powder that Mario Dedivanovic uses on Kim Kardashian for her gorgeous highlight and glow contour routine. Now I first saw this being used in a tutorial of a youtuber whose name I don't remember ages ago and ever since then I wanted to try it.

4. M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Gold Deposit, Retail: $30.00 -it aint cheap- Now I've heard about this bronzer before on youtube and a lot of girls described this bronzer as something they didn't think they'd want to purchase but ended up purchasing it anyway and fell in love with it. I still think $30 is a bit much for a bronzer but I have swatched this at Mac and I think the pigmentation and just glow of it, is ridiculously gorgeous and may be worth every penny. It also reminds me of a bronzer I've been wanting to try out by Milani maybe I'll try the Milani one first.

5. M.A.C Matte Lipstick Ruby Woo, Retail: $15.00: I'm a sucker for red lips. I think they're just the perfect and most beautiful way to make a statement on a woman's lips. Now I have so many red lipsticks in my collection it's crazy so when I heard about purchasing a $15 lipstick that's red I thought I think I'll pass but I just had to try it out at M.A.C and I got instant compliments on this, does it matter that those compliments were by my own conscious? Lol but my friends said it looked awesome and I agree. I think it's that classic matte yet vibrant deep red that no other red can really compare to and I still can't believe I haven't purchased it.

6. REVLON Nearly Naked Foundation, Retail:$7.49 via target: Heard great things about this foundation, first heard about it from a beauty guru on youtube by the username GirlyFrame. She said it was a dupe for a chanel foundation and I love everything chanel so I gots to try this out. :)

7: LUSH Lip Scrub, Retail: $9.95: Heard good and bad things about this lip scrub but I would love to try it for myself being someone that has pretty big lips I know what it's like to have dead skin on your lips it's a B!

8: A really cute kitty makeup bag Forever 21, Retail $9.80: I just really need a new makeup bag to hold the makeup in my purse. I've been putting random eyeliner and lipstick in my bag and scrumming through it like a mad woman when I need it.  I think F21 has some cute ones this one caught my eye on polyvore. Aren't the kitties are so cute?

9: Neutrogena Grapefruit Oil Free Cleansing Wipes, Retail $6.97 via Walmart: I remember going into to target with my sister since she had to purchase some things and, being dead broke stupidly I thought to torture myself by going to the beauty aisle, so I stumbled upon these wipes they were around $10.00 for 25ct and they came with something else and it just smelled so heavenly to me. Definitely want to purchase these, oh yeah and they apparently tend to acne prone skin? Can I get an amen?

10. Cetaphil Daily Oil Free Facial Cleanser $9.47 via Walmart: I own the cetaphil daily moisturizer and I really like it considering how light weight it may be. This product is probably just as good.

Have you guys tried any of these products?

until next time beauties,

Some spring buys ~

So what do you know I have another blog post and it hasn't been 5 months... *pats self on back* I've been quite busy lately but I slipped into K-mart with a friend no more then a month ago and picked up these bits. Wait I lie, I picked up 1 lip stick & teen vogue and then later on in the week I picked up a few other lipsticks at a local Rite Aid. The one I purchased is from k-mart and it's called SugarPlum Fairy by Wet N' Wild's mega last lipstick collection. I'd describe it as a deep- subtle yet can be viewed as a vibrantly statement purple . I first heard about this lipstick from Sam aka beauty crush, she stated that it's a dupe for MAC's Rebel and I completely agree the color is called Sugarplum Fairy, rem peeps this is important! :p Before I rave about this lipstick Let me first off say that I think Wet N Wild as a company is completely underrated. Although I've been tempted to purchase Rebel from MAC and have swatched the color in person, witness and suggest my friend to purchase it I think SugarPlum fairy is a great alternative. I think Rebel is slightly better quality due to the general hold of the lipstick. Did I mention sugarplum fairy was only $1.99? Rebel is like $15+... I don't think so honey booboo (yes I just said honeybooboo) not when you can get something identical and just as good for cheaper. I love MAC but you can't beat that. Now the next two lipsticks I purchased are also by Wet N' Wild and they're called Dollhouse pink and 511b. Dollhouse pink is a matte finish and it's incredibly vibrant and definitely a statement lipstick. It kind of reminds me of candy yum yum by mac and OCC's lip tar in the shade Nylon although I haven't seen the color in person i've seen tons of photos and videos of girls wearing it. I quite like DP(dollhouse pink) but I would probably wear it with a more subtle eye makeup. I also think DP has a pastel lavender undertone to it I took some photos of swatches down below with and without flash. On to 511b, this is such a pretty lustre type fushcia. The color glides on your lips and is quite pigmented but subtle and a steal at only $0.99. As you can seen I also purchased this month's teen vogue, I literally purhase one whenever I want... Other than me just genuinely enjoying buying a single one each month... I'd probably save a lot if I subscribe to the magazine but I hate having magazines of people I dislike or am not a fan of who happened to be on the front cover, stupid I know lol. I'm not too sure who Shay mitchell is honestly (contradictory) but I thought she looked very pretty and familiar and the front cover just made me think of spring, I still haven't read this yet... Believe it or not but Teen vogue is one of my favorite fashion magazines along with Vogue. I like the fresh and open, trendy takes on teen vogue yet the classic modern twist Vogue has as a magazine.

PROM & BLAH BLAH BLAH

Ok, so I promised you guys I would post pictures of my experience at prom and everything and blah blah blah. So here you go! But before I post the pictures, you know I can't go on without rambling about some things that happened. I mean what else would a blog-post be without some piccctasssss. OK I'll stop, I've been on a sugar rush since yesterday peepz! :o So pretty much I felt like my make-up and hair and everything was just ehhhchchhcidnkdnkdnedk bleh. I looked like a hot mess because of course I procrastinated (I'm the queen of procrastinating) way too much and ended up doing everything at the spur of the moment, yikes. All my friends and all the girls at prom looked incredibly stunning by the way. *_* MY eyes were burning from all the beautyyyyyy! Let's get to business. Everyone was suppose to be at my house at around 5:00-5:30 because the limo was picking us up there at 6:00 and one of my best friends came a bit early and I still had not had my makeup on! I was freaking and panicking and ah ah ah. But I did my make in and hair in about 20 minutes which explains why it looked like crap, then something went wrong with my dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Ok, so there was a gap in my dress? Even though I got it professionally altered. -_- I really should have tried it on after I picked it up but I just did not want to waste anytime. From searching for pins and needles to bobby pins, I felt like I was going to pass out or something. On top of that I purchased my dress on ebay and it did look a bit different from the picture but I did in fact like it very much, I just wish it didn't arrive TWO DAYS BEFORE PROM. I mean.... it is kind of my fault. :o Cause I did send the payment too late. I think I should not have procrastinated, and planned everything a bit better or planned something period lol and things might have ran more smoothly for me and wouldn't have been so stressful looking back.  I think my prom dress is quite classy but very edgy at the same time which I like, is it versatile? No. Do I think I'll ever get a chance to wear it again? Don't think so. But I do like it. So I didn't get much pictures of my dress for prom on the specific prom date, but I did recently have a self- portrait photoshoot in my sisters bedroom just for this post and because I wanted a few pictures of my dress. I seriously wanted to hire a professional photographer to take outdoor shots but I feel like it'll be a little too late for that? And a little too expensive.... :/ I can't explain to you how annoying it was taking these shots and believe it or not the back on my dress wasn't even hooked, and I was sweating like a pig bro. But back to prom, as everyone took some pictures we all finally headed in the limo when the limo driver arrived. So we all go in, and the door closes then the driver opens the door again? For what reason? I don't know why!! He opens the door and the door decides to not want to close again. -_- Seriously. So we all spent like a good twenty to thirty minutes trying to get the got damn door to close! Major bummer. As we are driving my poor baby Erica started feeling sick. :( I felt so bad for her she didn't even get to enjoy herself at prom. Besides prom wasn't bad, I mean it was nice being there and all but there were so many things I would of changed if I could. First of all, all the people that were in my limo were ladies and none of us had dates except for one another I guess but yeah... so it was pretty awkward when the dj said for only couples to go on the stage for the first dance. Um ok. Yeah how about the FOREVA ALONE table, hello???? Not to mention they were playing Fairytale by Taylor Swift as the first song for the couple dance, I wanted to shoot myself. After all that finally everyone else got to go on the dancefloor, which was kinda bad because they kept forming these stupid ass circles! I mean yeah it was kind of entertaining but only like 2 people are dancing and ok they're good dancers we get it but what about everyone else? Do we just stand there and watch? Um ok, and I cant even see anything cause some tall ass dude is in my way! Even when I did try dancing outside of these stupid circles with my friends, the awkward part is you feel like a shitload of teachers staring at you. Can I get an AWKWARD?? After a while everyone did dance, but the music and dj was very disappointing. C'mon, I felt like the music could have been wayyyyy better. Sweetjesussauce who plays Taylor Swift at a prom??!? I'm sorry if anyone who is reading this is a fan of Taylor Swift music, I have nothing against her as a person and I don't deny that she has talent, I aint no hater, but I just can't stand her music. I'm going really hard on prom right now lol, but as my overrall experience I give it a 6.5 out of 10, it wasn't bad but it could of been better in my opinion. The after-party was were I really had an amazing time. I went with my friends Rita, marie, Dominique, Ivy and Anya to Club Amnesia. I will post some pictures of my outfit there and inside too. :D As someone that doesn't really have a life, I mean walking in there was simply amazing. I was mind blown, smoke everywhere people dancing, the lights, AWESOME. It was just way too hot and a little small but a lot of fun and I danced my big ol' butt off. And guys actually asked me to dance? WHAT? ME? My response went more like this, Um no thanks, but I'm flattered and please get your dick off my back kay thanks. After the club, we all went home, I got home at around 4:15 ish and man I would relive that night any day. I will shutup now and I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, there is a lot. Until next time gorgeous people. x <3

Outfit Of the day! 6/8/12

Hello beauties! :) It's been quite a while since I last made a post on here and don't get me wrong I have been taking some pictures but I've just been in a eh mood. I kept telling myself I wasn't going to do a post until prom cause ju alreadi know babybie. Ok lol let me stop, but yeah I don't really go to any cool places or anything so the pictures I did take I feel like they're just kinda--- I don't know? Stupid....  Eh whatever. I shall be uploading my pictures from prom soon (and taking a few more), Arrrrrrrrrrrgh I'm so tempted to talk about it but I will try to contain myself haha. So anyways this post is just my outfit of the day for last Friday 6/8/12 I wore it to the yearbook distribution at my school even though I didn't get a yearbook----- long story, my fault. Lol btw I recently purchased the most awesome leggings ever. They were $16.99 at strawberry and extremely comfortable. I must admit $16.99 is a bit pricey for my leggings (it's ok you can slap me for thinking cheap) but these were worth it. They are a bit harder for me to style because they aren't your basic black legging. They kind of remind me of the American Apparel Disco Pant, and the Tricot legging because they are high waisted. I wore these bad boy leggings to an after prom party and I can't wait to post my outfit for that. Okayyyyy, I'll shutup about prom now. I also bought this badass butterfly-skull tank at h&m for only $4.95, when I saw the price and how cute it was I had to have it. I think the skull and the cutt of it adds that edgyness to the tank, while the butterfly and the light and darking contrasting shades of blue represent the feminine sides of the tank. Here's a few pictures and an ootd video I snagged real quick: (did I mention the weather in Ny has been absolutely awesome recently?)

Bye guys!! xx <3

I'M ALIVE! & I got ice-cream, nail polish and funky button downs? :o

Hey gawjusssss pepz! I know, I know. I seriously can't believe it's been nearly 7 months since I've last made a post on here, I know that no one really looks at my blog lol (as much as I hope someone , ANYONE, is reading this haha) granted it's been a really long time. Like every blogger says, "I don't want to slack on this blog" I ended up doing so. Shame on me. (BOOO) Although, I have been having the urge to upload pictures/ post more and to just enter the blogging world again with training wheels of course lol. I have many excuses and reasons why I haven't been doing so, but let me not bore any one to death. Oh yeah, I saw the avengers yesterday! It was AWESOMEKEBNEINEEEEPEj1p9oj12j29j2. Yup, that was totally necessary. But seriously, it was awesome. It's kinda crazy too, how much me and my friends went through just to see that one movie. From Renee and John almost turning into the hulk because we got there a bit late (the movie theatre was packed as a goats ya know what by the way) and having to go through a confirmation process because we all purchased our tickets online, it was all just a mess. My two friends Rita, Kiran and I saw the movie separately from Renee and John because they ordered their tickets at an earlier timing and blah blah blah... lol long story short Me, Rita and Kiran saw the avengers at amc, our seats sucked, but the movie was great and pure genius. I really should stop talking about the movie, and Captain America was so stunning ihah2hihihs8h8s along with Thor everyone looked hot--- mkay whatevs. So today, as you all know, ok ya don't know lol, I do not own a camera other than my ipod so I hijacked my sisters digital camera and took a whole bunch of pictures to show you lovely people. I have a nail polish haul and a thrift clothing haul, I got some funky cool button downs, HOLLA! Haha ok, I also went to my aunts house today and took some pictures on my way there of the scenery outside cause it was GORGEOUS out. I don't know why I'm capitalizing some words here, I guess to emphasize and exaggerate? Lol whatever so yeah here goes nothing, I hope ya'll enjoy:

So I got these awesome China Glaze nail polishes at Sally Hansen beauty supply! It was my first time going in there as well as purchasing China Glaze nail polish lol... These were $5 each and when you buy two, you get one free! So $10 for all 3 nail polishes, pretty good deal. I really want to get more, I love the formulation of China Glaze. :)

The colors are Shower Together, Rich & Famous, and Up All Night. I get compliments on shower together a lot!

I recently I discovered a brand called SPOILED Nail polishes at Cvs and all their polishes are only $1.99 so I kind of went crazy, the funny thing is my neighborhood circular said they were on sale for $0.99 but the guy at the cashier said it's $1.99 which is already quite affordable so I just went ahead and bout them anyway :o they are such cute colors, I kind of want to buy more lighter and springy colors for the Spring & summer so yeah my nail hiatus is not over people!

The shown are Visually Slimming, Hit The Brakes, Two Weeks Sober, and Totally Amazing. :D

I'm wearing Visually Slimming on my toes now! See look: (excuse my terrible pedicure skills)

My less recent nail polish purchases are from the brands SINFUL COLORS PROFESSIONAL, NYC, & B.S.N purchased from cvs, target and the dollar store.

The colors are in: MANHATTAN 248

SCANDAL 855

ARMY RAT 10 &

AQUA 10

So that pretty much somes it all up for my purchases with nail polishes, now onto the clothing part. I was really inspired by Tyler the Creators designs at the odd future pop up shop he opened for a bit here in New York. They were quirky and different, so I went to the thrift store shortly after and picked up some inspired shirts.

I bought each clothing item from the Unique thrift store.

TRUE GRIT BUTTON DOWN - $3.00

Sorry these shirts may be kind of creased :( I didn't have time to iron them

EIGHTY-8 BUTTON DOWN $2.00

MARTINI BUTTON DOWN $2.00

POLKA DOT PALM TREE BUTTON DOWN $2.00

So that's it for my clothing haul, I also bought this rad green blazer but I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it, sorry about that. Now I'm just going to post some random pictures from my day and the gorgeous scenery.

Until next time folks! xoxo ;)
