Memorial Day weekend!!

Hey dolls! Happy Hump day!! I wanted to share a few pics from this past weekend, it was Memorial Day weekend, also my older cousins birthday so me and my friends surprised her and took her up to Foxwoods casino on Friday night and partied like rock stars for the night and did a little gambling, didn't win big but that's ok lol! Here's a few pics of what I wore, etc. I did a simple face of the night because it was so hot out and I just simply did not want to wear or pack too much makeup. So all I wore was concealer, powder, and a smokey eye using Mac's Blactrack fluidline and a few shadows, and Hue lipstick. It was my first time staying in this gorgeous casino so we had a really fun time there. Enjoy!

Here's a few pics of our room:

Finally Arrived!!

Review: Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

Finally after all the hype of this mascara going around, I decided it was time to see what the big fuss was all about so I wanted to share my opinion on this with you gals! Ever since I tried this mascara a few weeks ago I've been so hooked! This mascara has been said to be "The best selling mascara in America" I've tried a lot of mascara's both high end and drug store so when I first got this I was a bit hesitant but it lived up to the hype and now it's HG status for me! 

I've used mascaras like Diorshow, Mac Zoomlash, various Rimmel mascaras and all kept getting smudgy on me! No joke after a few hours I'd have Raccoon eyes-gross I know! So I was always on the hunt for a new mascara I just can't put my finger on why I waited so long to try it lol. 

The first time I used lash blast I was very impressed. This mascara has a huge wand which I don't mind at all since Diorshow is just about the same size. I actually like the bigger wand because you can get every lash from inner corner to outer without having to work to do hard. What I love most about this mascara is the volume it gives my thin sparse lashes. It also really separates my lashes like no other and it doesn't smudge. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes I get a little black dots of mascara over my eyeshadow but it's nothing a q tip can't handle! So if you haven't gotten your hands on this mascara, I recommend it to all you beauties out there!

Here's a picture to show you:

And here's a random cuz I'm such a loser..haha!

What do you think about this mascara? Is it worth the hype, and how has it worked out for you?? Let me know in the comments!!

Till next time bellas!!

Pink's on the cover of Cosmo!!

I've been a hardcore P!nk fan since her first hit "There You Go" became a smash hit in 2000! Wow can't believe it's been 10 years already! On top of her being friggin HOTTTT, (girl crush HELLO!) I love her bad girl attitude and punk rock look. From the tattoos and piercings and pink fro hawk to her awesome songs full of meaning, she is truly an artist and a lyrical superstar. I had to snag this Cosmo magazine when I saw who was on the cover. Here's a few clips, Enjoy!

Do you love P!nk as much as I do? What are some of your favorite songs from her?? Let me know in the comments, and as always..stay Gorgeous!!

How to de-pot Mac Beauty powders!

Do you get bored with Mac's plain black packaging?? Well I do! So that means we depot!

You will need the following tools:

-Mac packaging that you want to use (I used Heatherette Beauty Powder)

-Mac Blot powder to switch out

-Sharp knife

-Tweezers

First start out by taking a tweezer or sharp knife and CAREFULLY slip it through the gap in the powder and slide it forward until the black insert pops out. Do the same for the powder you are depotting, carefully so you don't ruin it.

Should look like this once they are both out.

Now just take the powder you are using (I'm using blot powder) and securely pop it into the Heatherette Compact, it should click.

And voila!

You can peel off the stickers off the back of each packaging and re-stick them onto the appropriate powders and it's ready to go into your makeup bag!

That was so easy even a caveman can do it! haha!

Hope someone found this helpful!

P.S. When deciding which powder to use for example Mac MSF's make sure the dome is slightly used up or flat otherwise the compact won't close and you can ruin your MSF and we don't want that!!

Enjoy your day lovelies!!

Revlon Colorstay Foundation Review!

Hello dolls! I finally got the Revlon Colostay Foundation band wagon! lol For quite some time now, I've seen beauty bloggers rave and go on about this foundation. I myself, LOVE to try different foundations whether high end or drug store. I was in Sephora a while back and was looking for a tinted moisturizer or something lightweight for summertime and warm weather days where I don't want my foundation sliding off my face, the MA there suggested Benefits Dr. Feel Good. He tried and tried to sell it to me saying how gorgeous and flawless it made my skin look-I totally disagreed and didn't see it so I walked out with nothing.

While browsing Makeupalley product reviews, I noticed this foundation kept coming up ALOT! I saw so many positive reviews for this and it had been compared to Mac's Studio Fix Fluid (which I hated) so I was a little skeptical in trying it out but I figured $8.99 for a drugstore foundation is not bad since the positives outweighed the negatives (which there weren't many at all)

I was happy with my studio sculpt and make up forever mat velvet but they all just don't work like this does for me! 

I feel like this foundation was really meant to be for me, now for starters this foundation can run from $9.99 to $13.99 depending where you go. I saw this at Target for $9.99 with a $1.00 off automatic coupon, and then attached it had another $3.00 off coupon! So overall, I paid about $5.99 plus tax for this baby!

Positives:

-Very affordable

-Apply's very easily

-Lasts all day on my face (even working out, I tried it!)

-Doesn't oxodize or fade on my skin

-Covers all my imperfections blemishes and pores evenly

-Transfer resistant best of all! Doesn't smudge onto my clothes or phone

Cons:

-Doesn't have a pump

-You have to play around with the colors to get a good match since you can't test them in store

-Dries very quickly

I find that applying this with a stippling brush is the best method. You do have to work fast because this foundation dries very fast, so doing 1 section of your face at a time works best. So overall this foundation gets a 4/5 for me and is so perfect for warm summer days! I've been using this well over a week and have not been reaching for anything else, Hello holy grail!

Here's a swatch of Natural Tan:
