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!

OMG---WTF!?

Soooo I put in an order at TWO different sites on the 12th of Oct. and sat waiting for my packages to arrive right? And I'm always scared the post guys are gonna ring up my apartment and then I'm gonna be at school or something and I won't get my package (stupid MAC incident [this has happened before] got me all worry worry about these orders--grr). Thennn on the 21st I went to check my mail box and OMG!!! They bothhh came innn! I was sooo suprised and happy! (suprised that they both fit in my mailbox! haha) So guess what I ordered? 1. The Mehron Pastel pallete from Sillyfarm.com and 2. Mineral shadows from Simplynaturals.com. I love love loooove both of them! I'm gonna post pics soon I promise! (I've been having a butt load of midterms grr!)

The pallete is great but I'm not crazy about the color selection like 2 purples and 2 blues? why? change it up! (I might order the basic pallete and the tropical tho! I just love it that much!) These are water activated paints that can be used as eyeshadow base and will brighten up whatever color you're using (blue shadow-blue base etc.) I found that they make the shadow last longer too (tried it without a base underneath like UDPP and it stayed on great!). I also found that the edges blend easier than I thought (not so with the dark purple color though). Overall 5 stars!


The Simply Naturals eyeshadows are a-freakin-mazing! I love them! So bright and so great and apply wonderfully! The onlyyy thing I HATE is since the jars are filled to the top (which no one would normally complain about??) is that every time I open the jars shadow will go everywhere unless I'm very very careful and even then I still get a tiny bit on the tips of my fingers, but other than that-fantastic. (Although I should mention both the pallete and these shadows were a lot smaller in size than I thought oh and the SN shadows say they are 5 gram jars which I think I bought each for less than $2 but I think that's in weight not volume--[as in they measure the whole thing not the amount of the shadow to be 5 grams, just so ya know but that's just what I THINK! not sure]


Overall MONEY WELL SPENT XD!!!

Dior Skin Forever Foundation

I Love love love this foundation it's by far the smoothest I've ever used, it blends beautifully, matches my skin tone almost perfectly, builds up nicely and feels very soft, buttt the cost of this product (I think I bought it for like $50) is not a very reasonable one. I have to mention that since I have combo skin my t-zone gets oily and considering I wore this foundation on its own, it looked a bit dewy later and that with the t-zone made me look sweaty! (Yuck!) So I would not say it's amazing for me without powder on top. I would recommend this product to someone who wants a dewy look with buildable coverage. As for myself I'ma blot this baby!
