Sephora + MAC Haul!

Recently I ordered off Sephora, MAC, and another online store (I'll do a haul in a different post!) I was so excited to get everything in. Everything was here by Thursday. I ordered everything Monday, everything was shipped so fast! If you haven't ordered off Sephora, I advise you do if you're looking for a great deal! They're currently having a 20% off everything sale, which ends the third of November I think. I'm not quite sure so hurry! Here's everything I got!

(from l-r: MAC pro longwear concealer, bare minerals prime time foundation primer, NARS laguna bronzer, Stila lip glaze set)

Sadly, I only got one thing from MAC which I really did need. A concealer. The pro longwear is their newest concealer which came out last month, I think. It's amazing. I haven't tried out any other MAC concealers, but this is definitely the best concealer I've ever ever tried. Well, that's a lot to say for only using it twice.. Still, I cannot stress my love for it enough. If you're looking for a great concealer I highly suggest this one. The price isn't that bad, and I swear it will last you a life time. It takes so little to conceal everything. The only con I can say about this product is the pump. We all love pumps, I know, I know. But a pump on a concealer that is full coverage isn't the best idea. It pumps out WAY too much. Even when I am trying so hard not to pump a full pump a lot comes out! Other than that I cannot complain.

I finally bought the oh-so-famous NARS Laguna bronzer. I needed a good bronzer, now that I've decided I am loving bronzer. I love the color; it's not too orange and not too muddy. It's perfect. I'm not too knowing of bronzers but I do know that this is just lovely. (:

(sorry about the picture! the flash kept messing me up, forcing me to take almost 40 pictures of this little thing!)

Online this looked a lot bigger, I expected it to be a lot bigger. I was dissapointed when I opened my Sephora package, I guess I shouldn't have expected a lot when it only cost around $6. It comes with 0.5 fl oz which isn't bad at all! Most foundations and primers come with 1.0 fl oz which is only two times bigger. I tried it this morning and it works great! It's a lot thinner and more runny than smashbox photofinish primer but once it's all blended it feels the exact same. I am loving it! Hopefully it doesn't break me out!

 (Colors + Swatches from l-r: Majesty, Guava, Merry Merry, Seashell, Blush, Grapefruit, Apricot, Kitten)

I am super excited to wear them all! A lot of the colors look really similar but that's totally cool because they're all gorgeous colors anyways! I am probably most excited about Merry Merry, it's a nice sparkly red. I never wear reds, so that shall be interesting. They are all super smooth and NOT sticky! I was so suprised about that! I honestly thought they were all going to be extreamly sticky! They're not at all. They're super creamy. All the colors are very lovely. This was only $25! Plus the 20% off makes it $20 which makes it a super steal!

Review: ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powders

(from l-r: sunkissed, matte bronze, warm tan)

I ordered these bronzers (along with one other one which I'll explain in a second) from ELF a few of months ago. I ordered sunkissed, matte bronze, warm tan, and luminance. Luminance sadly broke. I was holding it and shook it in the air for like three seconds and the powder broke! It was such a soft texture. I guess that it was so soft that it broke! It was a gorgeous color, too bad it broke :/

(matte bronze)

The picture isn't really true to color. It's really washed out. The color is a lot darker in person. I think this would work a lot better for people with nc30 skin and above. I'm an nc20 and this is way too dark for me. I never use it. It's also kind of chalky, so watch out for that.

(warm tan)

This is definitely, hands down, my favorite color of the bunch! I have dry skin so the shimmer doesn't bother me. (I heared oily skin should stay away from shimmer) I love the way it looks. It's such a gorgeous color! I think this would work on all skin tones and that says a lot.

(sunkissed)

I actually ordered this one first, about a month before the other three. I honestly don't like it. It's far too shimmery and too ORANGE. It is very orange. You can't even tell on the picture. I really don't reccomend it unless you want to look like an oompa loompa, which you probably don't, so stay away!

All in all, I really would only recommend Warm tan. Unless you're darker, than I would recommend matte bronze.

Thanks for reading, dolls! xo

Review: Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honeymoon

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing a Hard Candy Blush in Honeymoon. Hard Candy is, as I know, only available at Walmart. If I am incorrect let me know! I bought it at Walmart for $9 which is actually a really good deal, considering most "baked" makeup items are expensive and I'm pretty sure every powdered makeup product they have is baked. They are actually similar to MAC MSF's, Honeymoon is actually similar to MAC's Perfect Topping MSF. Perfect topping has more of a silver undertone, while Honeymoon has more of a goldish undertone. 

As you can see it's a peachy pink color with some slight goldish undertones to it, along with some lavender veining running through it. It looks really gorgeous in the pan as well as it does on the cheeks. You could also get away with using this as a highlight.

One of the best parts of Hard Candy is that they don't test on animals! If you were worried about Hard Candy testing on animals, worry no longer! (:

There's a swatch of the color above. I hope you can see the slight gold undertone in it, I think it's an absolutely gorgeous color. I don't give it as much credit as it deserves. I highly recommend this blush!

My MAC Palette + Mini Update!

Sorry I've been gone for five whole days! Lately I've just been so tired, working on homework, studying for this test I took today, I'm taking the last portion of the test tomorrow (thank god) but too bad it's on my weakest subject, math. By the way expect a haul some time next week or the week after! I ordered a lot of things online from Sephora, MAC, and Transdesign.com! I'm super excited to get everything in!

(first row, l-r: naked lunch, grand entrance, jest, and all that glitters. second row, l-r: honesty, mulch, and satin taupe)

I love my neutral eyeshadow as you can see, these are all the MAC eyeshadows I own. I do own two other quads, but those don't really count. My personal favorite colors are naked lunch, grand entrance and satin taupe. The ones I don't use or care for are all that glitters and honesty. Honesty really lacks in pigment. It really is just a very very sheer brown with a bunch of shimmer. All that glitters is just not my type of color, a lot of people describe it as a champagne color. That is definitely not the case, it's more of a neutral melon/gold toned lid color. I really am not a fan of melon nor gold colors. It was my first eyeshadow from MAC (first permanent color) and it was a huge dissapointment for me.

Hope you enjoyed the post, dolls! xo

I'm not too sure yet, but we'll see!

What's In My Purse?

I bought the purse yesterday, it's from the Mulberry for Target line. This is the bag. I was really excited when Target announced the Mulberry for Target line! I was actually going to get the bigger bag; the $50 bag but I didn't like the strap/handle to it! So I settled for this instead, I love it though! It's small, but holds everything I need!

I decided to put up this post because I personally love watching "What's in my purse" videos on youtube and even looking at pictures on blogs! It's nothing special, and the quality of the pictures are super duper crappy. Sorry again. I'm going to ask my dad if I can have his digital camera until I get my DSLR since that is much better quality! As soon as I get a new camera I'll do an updated What's in my purse- promise!

On my keychain I have a dream catcher (bought it on a field trip in sixth grade), my keys of course, and the chain that came with the Mulberry for Target purse this is all in.

Thanks for reading loves! xo

001. School wasn't bad today, whatsoever. It was actually pretty great. I've been doing good this school year; I've actually made a couple of new friends which is something I rarely do. I usually just stick with the ones I already have. During the summer I was very, I don't know how to say it, lost. I hated everyone and everything. I ranted and ranted about how I can't stand this town, but really most teenagers feel that way. I just needed a friend, which during the summer I had two. Both cousins of mine, I didn't really talk to people other than them during the summer. People did reach out to me and tried to talk to me; I just pushed them away. See, I'm very picky when it comes with people and relationships. I really don't know why I don't like to talk to people. It's odd, and it's something I hate.


002. Sorry I haven't been posting makeup related things lately, I've just been too lazy to send the photos to my email address  and then save it to my computer, then upload it and put it on here. I love posting reviews and hauls and such, I just wish the pictures would upload themselves ha ha. 


003. Does anyone have a twitter? I made this new one a couple of months ago and decided to keep it as a personal twitter. If you want to follow me it is @csndrariz I usually tweet about the most random things. Nothing in particular. 


004. I went to Target yesterday and bought two things. I'm not going to say what since I'll be doing a haul on it in a bit. I was very excited to get both home, they are both lovely products. One is a makeup product and the other is an accessory product, you'll see what I'm talking about when I post the haul. I took pictures but they came out really crappy. I think I'm just going to retake the pictures; I hate crappy quality anything. I'll retake the pictures and the post them later on today!


005. I hope and pray that I get enough money on Christmas to buy myself a Canon EOS XS, the quality of that camera is amazing. The price is not bad for a DSLR camera, it costs $500 but I am trying to find it cheaper somewhere. I might check eBay for that. I know for sure I'll be getting the camera before my birthday. But I'm hoping that I can get it by Christmas! I can't wait to get it; the pictures on my blog will be 1000000000x better for you guys! During the summer I started getting really into photography and now I think it's time for a DSLR camera!


006. I also really want a macbook. Why a macbook? Because they are amazing. I want just the plain white one that costs $1000. It's a pretty hefty price for me. I'm planning on saving up all of my money that I get on my birthday and Christmas of '11 then saving a bit up from my allowance and hopefully I'll have enough!


007. I've been on luuux like crazy lately. I just love the idea of it, blog, rate, and comment for a prize. The prizes consist of Sigma brushes, iPad, iPods, Benefit cosmetics, Louis Vuitton handbags, Christian Louboutin shoes, etc. I highly suggest you join! It's loads of fun AND you get rewarded for it! Love, love, LOVE that site and the best part is (for all people that love fashion and makeup) it's mostly posts about fashion and makeup! 


That is all my lovelies, hope you have a wonderful rest of the afternoon! xo
