  1. Beauty Haul: Ulta

    Friday, November 23, 2012

    Hi my lovelies. Over the weekend I went to ulta and picked up some bits and pieces.

    1) Real Techniques Stippling Brush
    After all the hype, I finally picked one up. 
    I love using it to apply my ColorStay foundation concealer; it really creates that airbrush effect

    2) Smashbox Concealer (light)
    My holy grail Tarte concealer became too dark and thus I was forced to abandon it as the light was too freaking light for my skin. Cahman Tarte, you need more than 3 shades
    I absolutely love this concealer, definitely one of the best ones I've ever used 
    The Smashbox rep thought I was pretty so she gave the a mini mascara too (didn't enjoy it much though)

    3) Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara
    A repurchase and my favorite drugstore mascara!
    It can flake though, but I put a very light swipe of the waterproof version, and that clears everything right up. 

    4) Revlon Colorstay Foundation
    Long lasting and buildable coverage
    Another super hyped item that was defiantly worth every penny. 

    5) Urban Decay All-Nighter Spray
    I got the mini .51 OZ bottle because it was adorable and right near the checkout counter - total sucker for anything mini 
    Great for nights out or any time you want your make-up to really stay the damn on your face 

    6) Sugar Lip Balm (Fresh) (Mini)
    Lemon-y, mini, soft, and light. 
    I definitely wouldn't purchase this for full price though 

    7) NYX Blush in Dusty Rose
    Gorgeous, long-lasting, and inexpensive: whats not to love?

    8) Benefit High Beam
    Gorgeous liquid high lighter that I've been lusting after for ages! 

    Thats all the products and mini-reviews. Until next time, xx Michelle

  2. Z-Palette: A Review

    Thursday, November 22, 2012


    Recently I purchased a Z-Palette because of my sheer laziness to go through my drawers and small quads or trios to pick out the perfect shades that go together. So I got 2 of them: a smaller black one and a large purple one.

    My full large Z-Palette!
    Pros: 
    • I use all of the shades more than I ever did when they were all separate
    • I got to take the great shades I love from old trios and quads and throw out the duds
    •  The case is lightweight and came with great magnets
    Cons: 
    • 1 word: Depotting. I ran into some trouble with this mainly because I’m impatient and not careful enough. So this happened:

    • This happens on more than one occasion and it fucking sucks! Be careful and more gentle than I was and your shadows should be fine. If they aren’t, you can repack them with some rubbing alcohol. Just look up tutorials on how to fix shattered shadows. I might do that to some of the ones that I fucked up badly on (l already did it to that green shade on the end) 
    • It gets DIRTY. The shadow dust gets a lot of places. You can take the shadows out and clean the bottom or just take out the shade you’re using. There are ways to avoid it.
    • I didn’t think ahead of time and attach the color names on the back.
    Final verdict: I love my z-palette and think it is much better than having all single eye shadows. It love that you can put so many different types of colors together and have different brands in one place. All of the cons can be easily avoided thus making this palette a great buy!

    I use the small black one for overnight stays or just want to take the color I used that day with me.

    Until next time, xx Michelle
