Glamour Doll Eyes, Urban Decay Book of Shadows 4 and more!



So, after hearing alot about Glamour Doll Eyes pigments from alot of the girls on YouTube, I decided to check them out. I ordered 8 of the sample size jars. They are GORGEOUS! The sample jars are $2.50 each and you get a decent amount. They are so pigmented and pretty. Worth every penny. Check them out NOW!!!! 


They show up nicely wet or dry. 

Next is my Christmas gift to myself :)


This lovely thing here is the Urban Decay Book of Shadows 4. Urban Decay is my favorite makeup brand. The shadows in this box are so pretty and there's so many looks you can create with this. It comes with 16 eye shadows, a full size 24/7 liquid eyeliner, a sample of the Super Curl mascara and a small Primer Potion in the original color. It also comes with a speaker and cable you hook up to your phone and a card you scan so you can watch tutorials. I've never seen anything like this. 

Also I've been hearing alot about the L'Oreal visible lift foundation and how great it is. I just purchased it and I have to say, I like it alot. The brush is pretty good and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. I'm happy with it. 


This is just a random picture of some of my makeup. lol. I'm running out of room!

Anyway, thanks for reading! x0x0

Before you judge someone...




This is entry is about the harsh remarks made about Christina Aguilera and her weight gain...

Anyone who really knows me, knows that I absolutely love Christina Aguilera. She is hands down one of my favorite performers of all time. She has a beautiful voice that is raw, real and doesn't need any enhancing. Girl has pipes of steal. Not only does she have the voice of an angel on steroids, she is gorgeous. She came out in 1998 when I was about 13. She's only 3 years older than me and she's been on the music scene for about 13 years now. Obviously, she doesn't look the same as she did when she first started her career. She's been married and even had a baby. Now, going through a divorce she's been a little reckless and put on some weight. Now, I don't know about you but I've known some women who either gain or lose weight when they go through something like that. Hers is just in public. Just because you gain a little weight and you aren't ideal to what "people should look like" doesn't make you any less talented. Her voice didn't gain weight, she did. She's a singer. Not a supermodel. Honestly, I don't even think she looks bad. When Britney decided to shave her head everyone made fun of her without realizing maybe she was actually human and was having a lot of problems. She even put on a little weight. Look at the girl now, she's probably at the peek of her career. The bitch came back with a vengeance and she's killin' it. 

This post isn't going to be completely about celebs though, it's just what sparked my insight. No one looks exactly the same as they did from the ages of 19-30. I mean, I'd love to. Who'd complain about looking young forever? Unfortunately that's not the way the human body works. We are hard on our bodies. We work, and eat things that aren't healthy, smoke, drink and have children. Our bodies go through many changes and when someone who was once rail thin gains a little weight they get scrutinized for it. Women who were thin and petite have babies and end up not being able to get rid of the "mommy pooch" and their husbands or just mean ignorant people call them fat and make them hate themselves. It's sad. It's not just weight either. People get made fun of because of their looks, their hair, their sexual preference. If we were all the same and looked the same the world would be a boring place. While I do agree that one should always look professional and act professional in a workplace, who cares what you do or how you act outside of work as long as you aren't hurting yourself or anyone else. If you want to leave work on friday, dye your hair hot pink and go to a few punk shows and wash it out and break out your business suit and briefcase Monday morning, go ahead! Who's stopping you? It's your life, and your body. 

People are so quick to judge each other based on what they see. I'm guilty of it and so is the rest of the world. It's just sad that some people can't handle the torment because they hear it all day, every day and they end up ending their own lives to quiet the pain. These are young kids too. Kids whose lives haven't even started yet. 

I have friends who get judged for being too skinny, too over weight, too flat chested, too big chested. There's no such thing as perfection when it comes to the human body. One foot is always bigger than the other. One boob is always bigger than the other. You may have one blue eye and one green eye. I have straight friends, gay friends and friends who don't know if they like boys or girls. That's what makes them who they are.... and I have some pretty awesome friends. Our differences are what makes hanging out so exciting. We all have different backgrounds, different ways of saying and doing things. We learn from each other. 

So in conclusion to my rant, if you want the "perfect" person, Go out and buy a Barbie or Ken doll. They all look the same, never change and they don't stick up for themselves. Just remember, you have to buy her friends too...

LED lashes?


How would you like your eyes to LITERALLY light up? These were made by Soomi Park and have been seen in Japan. I'm not sure if they were just used for photos, or if they are actually being sold. I think they look pretty cool but might be a little uncomfortable. I'd still definitely try them out though! lol

Now that's what I call a twinkle in your eye!

What do you guys think? <3


Who and What influences me?

I've been into makeup ever since I was little. I loved watching anything that involved the application of makeup and I've been wearing makeup since I was about 10. As a teenager I was more interested in other things, but I always did my friends hair and makeup for them. A few years ago I really started getting involved in it and my obsession has doubled. I always had a natural talent for it.

I get influenced by watching the girls on youtube, looking in magazines, tv etc. Inspiration is all around me.  Even certain colors that stick out to me, patterns, foods, drinks.

There's one person that really sticks out to me and that's Alexa Pricso aka. the Glam Fairy. I think she is amazing and she comes up with some off the wall but amazing concepts and she's who I'd love to be like. She's talented, opinionated, and successful. I really want to visit the Glam Factory to see her and her workspace. I'd be overjoyed. lol. I'm glad she isn't on Jerseylicious anymore. While I still watch the show, I always liked the episodes where they focused on Alexa more than the rest of the cast. I was beyond excited when I found out she has her own show. She's the only one who's actually known in the industry and she deserved it. So, hopefully I'll get to meet her one day soon!!

I'm back!

So, I've decided that even though I have my website, I'm still going to use this blog. This one will mainly be reviews on beauty items and some other things. My site will just be more for different looks I do and what I use. I'll post a link to my site in the side bar.

The summer is coming to an end!

This summer flew by! Pretty soon the weather will be cooler. The nights will be longer and the smell of pumpkin spice will fill the air! I can almost taste the pumpkin spice lattes!

With change of season also comes Fall colors! Lots of browns, reds, oranges and golds! Warm sweaters and cute boots! I can't wait!

Also with fall comes my favorite holiday, Halloween! I have so many ideas running through my head about costume ideas. My favorite so far is an updated spin on the Bride of Frankenstein. My hair is black so I'd leave it down, curl it and add some white extensions. My outfit would be almost like a punk version of her. Like a rockabilly version of her. My second idea is a zombie prom queen. Blood, rips and tears, the whole nine, but keep it somewhat pretty. My third is a pinup girl, or a pinup zombie. I'm really leaning towards the first one though. I'd even add a fake tattoo on my arm of frankenstein and put "Frankie" under it. haha.

I've also been shopping around for some blushes in fall colors. I have so many fall eye shadows and lipsticks (though I'm sure I'll be getting more!) but I needed some fall blushes. I love plums and dark rose colors on my cheeks in the fall. It really warms up my face so I don't look like I'm Snow White. hehe. I ordered two from NYX and I can't wait to see how they look! I'll do a review on them and their eye primer when they come in.

That's all for now!

New Website!

So, my best friend is an artist and she made an awesome website showing off her pieces, amongst other things. She inspired me to create my own. I can post my blog, makeup looks I've done on myself and others, drawing and graphics that I've done, and I'm also getting into photography. It's just so much easier to have everything on one site, rather than having to go to several. So hopefully people view it, and like it!
