Update :)

Not able to post up pics is really keeping me from updating sheesh! But anyhoo, some things I need to talk about, tkb trading (will post pics of my products) not too excited about it anymore, a LOT of the colors I got are so sheer they barely show, sucks majorly! But on to more cheery subjects I wanted to show you guys my new fave blush that I made myself and it mainly consists of the red mineral eyeshadow from simply naturals called razzmatazz, and my pink swoon mac blush (that I crushed and mixed with the tinyyyy bit of razz to make a loose blush) and I LOVE It! I use it everyday it looks so girly and like "you jus dun runnin from da po-lees!" (lool alexreed check his video out that's called 'this is a joke'--->hilarious!) but must be applied with a stippling brush otherwise can be majorly overwhelming!

What I did to my mac blushes is also made them into loose powders and put them in 10 gram jars with sifters, this way I can get more color pay off (easy with a spritz of fix+) annnd I get to back2Mac the containers hehe (I've been on the look out for new lipsticks :D!)

My new fave brush that I bought at a salon for $11 is from a brand called elegant faces (you can find them online) and looks like this:

This brush is good for all over colour and highlighting annnd doing a little contouring (if you change the way you're holding it), the perfect all in one brush! Only down side is that it is a bit big so can be annoying for people who like brushes that are even smaller than the MAC 239.

hey everybody! SO today I'm really excited (and tired) I finally recieved my TKB trading package (which I ordered on Oct.25--total wait time of 16 days to arrive) and I have to say I ammm happy! Well not about the shipping though (which costed me an arm and a leg!!! around $25 US plus $18 CD to get it through customs Canada! so a grand total of: $48 CD---just for shipping damn it!). I guess if you live in the US lucky you would not have to pay as much.

Anyhooo! I've been super duper busy with school lately I have so many midterms it's insane so I haven't done much updating but I'm making a list now of what's coming soon on my blog so keep checking it out :D!:

1.TKB Trading pics of my mineral shadows
2.My new fave blush mix (I'll tell you how I made it myself!)
3.What I did to my (gasp!) MAC blushes
4.My new multi-purpose eyeshadow brush from EF
5.Some great eyeshadow combination recommendations (for soft and bold looks)
6.Ardell lashes- a review of the 111s and the 107s (plus how to get natural looking falsies)

I'm gonna make more effort to keep up to date with my blog to do list I promise! :D xoxox

TKB--Shipping costs

When I put in my order with TKB they took (I think) approx. 11USD for shipping but emailed me later asking for another 15USD or more (for faster shipping), and this is quite disappointing, considering it is gonna be here in another few weeks and not like tomorrow... Shipping in the US would be less though I suppose...:(

Halloweeeen

I don't know yet what I wanna dress as!! But what I do know is that there a lot of great tuts on youtube that are so inspiring. Some of my fave makeup gurus who have these vids include Josh-->petrilude OMG! Can you say talent? Freakn amazing! The wonderful Julia-->MissChievous, her looks are easy to do and look fab! And Sarah aka Jjacks48 aka the amazingly entertaining and wonderfully talented girl--> her "Bella Cullen?" video-look is so sexy! Sometimes I think I wanna look really grossly scary and other times the sexy evil look comes to mind...so I dunno yet! I did find some great lashes at a Shoppers drug mart suprisingly for like $4 and I'm tempted to throw them on--I'll let you guys know what I decide!

What are you going as?

Pixxiess XD!

As promised here are the pictures of the simply naturals mineral shadows that I got as well as a picture of what the mehron pastel pallete looks like for your reference :). Please note the colors may be slightly different in real life although I tried to make the lightening work to show the true colors. If you have any questions or comments let me know! xoxo

My order with TKB Trading

My hubby had initially wanted to give me a lil gift from MAC but since the stuff I wanted I didn't really want anymore (x_X) ! He let me pick something else SO! I went a lil crayyyy-zayyy at the TKB trading website and bought 40 mineral shadows (haha-weee!) I had heard about this site from a couple of people including youtube's lovely Dana Potter and the seriously goregous miss Christiana, and I got to see first hand what the shadows looked like (since my friend ordered from them before me) and can I just say wow! If you find a color you like and you order a sample of it they give you enough mineral shadow to almost fill a ten gram jar for like $1.50 US!!! Crazy right?! Only down side is that they put 'em in baggies -_-! So what I did is order 40 ten gram jars off of their web site that come with sifters (which I KNOW I need since the Simply Naturals experience! :P) for like 24$ (which totally blows but w/e I want to get the most out these shadows and I want them to last so). Right now I'm super excited about that and when my package arrrriivvves I'll show you guys pics! yay!

Disappointed with the MAC 'Adoring Carmine' face brushes

I went to the mall yesterday and headed to MAC excited to see the holiday collection and can I just say-ewe? The brushes were a lot smaller than I thought and looked like crap! Not to mention I felt a couple and they weren't even soft :-O!!! I mean ok thank you for saving me my money but I so wanted to buy brushes in a bundle- I'm sucha sucker for good quality brushes. I obviously didn't even swatch the shadow palletes just cause the colors are lame and I know MAC shadows, not all of them have great pigmentation and the shimmer is almost always chunky! Seriously these people need to work their imaginations more! stop focusing on the packaging and come up with something worth buying tons of! But anyway now I'm rethinking the glosses too (they're not out yet) since it would probably be an impulse buy--I'm more of a lipstick girl and not so much a goo-ee-doo-ee lips chick.


oh! and yeah the store wasn't full of people but come on the service sucked! So much so that even though I wanted to buy the Silverstroke fluidliner, I just didn't...I'm gonna go back for it (I know myself I'll obsess with it till I get it!)

Do you suffer like me when this happens? Let me know!
