My junior high signature scent

I got this perfume back when I was thirteen. I didn't know any better so I probably used upwards of abotu 5 squirts on my neck and I smelled like a baby prostitute according to people. Then I got some common sense and used two squirts, which was (still a strong) sweet and girly scent. When you're older you look back on things in your perfume and laugh, one of the notes in this is "cupcake accord". Despite being 19, I still like smelling like a cupcake!

A super girly touch,

I swatched this once and I decided that I needed it, as I do love Coralista. It's a great, light, girly color which is what I usually wear with a bolder blue-tone pink lipstick. You'd think that the cardboard box would be flimsy but it's really quite durable.

My first Orgasm experience...

Our Sephora opened a year ago and shortly after I had my first experience with NARS (deep throat) and I fell in love. I went in during the F&B sale and saw that they had this and I thought I needed it. I was right. All of the shades are gorgeous and it's a nice assortment of shades.

The perfect contour!

I know the original chocolate shade seems a little bit intense for us fair skinned ladies, but with a light hand it gives just the right amount of color and can give the give the illusion of a more slim face. I use this everyday and I absolutely adore this.

Plus, it smells like chocolate. Chocolate is always good, right?

Oh Nicki, you so fine.

This is my FAVORITE for the summer. It's gorgeous, bold, and incredibly creamy. It works for all skin tones and my ONLY complaint is that it's limited edition. I need to go into MAC and get a few more as backups because I can not imagine living without it.

:)

I didn't think I'd get this palette at first, I figured that I had the Book of Shadows III and I didn't need to get the brand new edition. I swatched some of the colors, some of which are similar, but I needed to have it in my life. I got it during the f&f sale and am so glad I did. It's a gorgeous mix of colorful shades and neutrals so you can accomplish virtually any look. It also comes with a UDPP and a zero liquid liner. If you want to bring something and can look past the thick box, you could be set for a good 2 weeks with all of these shadows.

I wanted to like this, I really did.

I'm on the hunt for the perfect mascara! Maybelline mascaras have never worked for me, so I'll include my little rant about the formula here rather than on all of the mascaras. I have used the Falsies, Falsies Flared, One by One, Mega Plush, and the one in yellow tubing, and they have all been terrible misses for me. They flake off after an hour and irritate my eye! I thought with the "gel formula" this mascara wouldn't irritate my eyes, but I was sadly disappointed.

Not a Naked palette

Comparing the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette to the original Urban Decay Naked Palette, they seem like totally different collections. It is nice but the colors are a little sheer and can produce an amount of fall out and the cardboard packaging is a little bulky. If you're a beginner, this could be the palette for you as it comes with three different instruction cards explaining where to place each color to get the "classic" "day" or "fashion" looks.

I wasn't impressed.

I've tried TFSI multiple times and each time I ended up just tossing the tube to the side and grabbing my UDPP and filling the void in my heart. It kept my eyeshadows on beautifully, but I think because of the siliconey feel I just didn't like blending it over my eyelids. I have oily lids so it didn't feel like it was accomplishing anything.

Berry stained errything

If you're unfamiliar with Benetint, I think you've been hiding under a rock. It's a cult favorite cheek and lip stain in a gorgeous berry color. It's a little drying for the lips but a few dabs on the apples of my cheeks seems to do wonders for an effortless flush like I've been running around in the cold (only more red and less pink). If you haven't tried it I'd recommend it. They have plenty of smaller vials which will last you a lifetime so you don't have to commit to the full size.
