#projectpan

There is something so satisfying when you finish up a beauty product. It's like checking something off a list. I find it interesting to see what others think of certain products after they have completely finished them so here are some of mine that I've recently (last 6 months) finished plus if I would repurchase or not! Have you finished anything recently and...

Urban Decay Afterglow 8 Hour Blushes - Bittersweet, Rapture, Kinky, & Video

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was an out of this world brand called Urban Decay... Seriously though, Urban Decay knocks it out of the park over and over again with color and quality! They are definitely in my top ten brands. There hasn't been anything I've purchased that I haven't loved. So we come to their new...

A Natural Beauty Series - #banthebead

#banthebead is a campaign that Lush has been advertising about recently. Many exfoliating products from the drugstore and so on have used these small beads in their products. One of my favorite drugstore exfoliators from Neutrogena uses them. I never once thought that using that scrub would be harming the Earth. Those little beads are actually made from plastic. What? I had no...

Viseart - Neutral Matte Palette

Two obsessions of mine, neutrals and mattes. I love my Kryolan matte neutral palette. It is by far one of the best palettes I've ever purchased (post coming soon) so when I saw this Viseart palette I had to check it out. Because seriously, you can't have too many eyeshadow palettes full of neutrals or mattes. Duh :) This brand is new to...

Friday Favorites!

This week I have two favorites! Colourpop's highlighter in Spoon and Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer. I have just recently started using these this week and so far I am loving both. Clinique's Turnaround line is new for Spring/Summer 2015. The line includes an oil, peel, daytime moisturizer, etc. I was really intrigued by their claims, "plumped, renewed, lit from within skin". Anything...

May 2015 Favorites!

This month has been another lazy/basic makeup month. I was really busy gardening and getting stuff done around our house that makeup wasn't a priority. :( There are a few products though that I have stuck with and still continued to love throughout this past month. My goals for June are to wear more makeup again and go for walks! What are yours?...

Lust List

This week's Lust List! What have you guys been looking at?? This room setup is to die for! I love the combination of victorian, modern, and some industrial chic. Perfection. I watched Nicole Guerriero's Grunge Glam video on YouTube. I loved the lashes she used by Socialeyes! They are the vixen style. Basically the same cut as Mac's 35's but more curled. Totally...

Well here are the swatches of three matte lipsticks from their new release! Stone is a grey toned brown. It matches its liner perfectly!  Persistence is a medium rosy nude with hints of brown. It looks very...

Younique Splurge Cream Shadows - Dainty, Elegant, & Tenacious

To me these eyeshadows are more of a mousse than a cream. They are definitely creamy but the texture is so light and airy. Glam shades whipped to perfection. Summer time to me equals quick and glowy makeup. I find myself reaching for more cream shadows than anything else. A swipe of color and some mascara and you are good to go! Definitely check...
