ELF Make-Up Haul :)

Hello girls ;), it's me again with my last haul of the night lol. Today I got the ELF makeup goodies I had purchased on the eyeslipsface.com website. For those of you who have no clue lol, ELF is a makeup line that sells most of their products for 1 dollar. They also have two other lines which are a little bit more expensive. They are the mineral and the studio lines. Even though they are the "expensive" lines of ELF, they are still very very very cheap. Most of the items from these lines range from 3-5 dollars. I have tried most of their products, and I can say that they are pretty good considering the price. My favorite items from ELF are definitely the Super Glossy Lip Shine glosses with SPF15. They are nicely pigmented and smell really good. Moreover, the consistency of these glosses kind of reminds me of the MAC Lustreglasses ( which I love ). Even though they only have ten colors available for now, I think there is a shade for every occasion. So back to the haul lol, I bought four of the SPF 15 glosses ( the last ones missing to have the entire collection lol), five mineral lipglosses, and three nail polishes( which I forgot to take pictures of lol ). Overall, I'm extremely happy with my glosses. I suggest you give them a try if you are looking for something cheap but worth your money. I included some pictures of the swatches which really don't do much justice to these glosses. They look brighter and cuter in person. My camera was acting kind of stupid :( so I must apologize for that lol. Anyways..... enough said lol. I hope you give ELF a try soon, and let me know what you think about their products if you do.

XOXO

NYX Haul

A couple of days ago, I ordered a few NYX items from the NonPareilBoutique.com website. Yesterday, I received my package in the mail. I was very excited because I LOVE NYX. For those of you who haven't tried out their products, I suggest you do so ASAP. NYX's products have amazing quality, yet they are very cheap. I bought five lip liners, a blush, a jumbo eyeshadow pencil, and six mega shine lipglosses. I uploaded a picture of the swatches of the lipglosses because they are my favorite. Below, I listed the prices and names of the items I purchased. I hope you guys enjoyed this haul, and if you want more swatches let me know.

Mac/Benefit Make-Up Haul

Recently, I decided to go to Macys and try out the Mac Prep & Prime face lotion. I had seen great reviews about this product on YouTube, so I wanted to give it a try. As usual, I got a little carried away and ended up buying some other things as well lol. I also bought the Mac Fix + skin refresher, two lustreglasses, two lipsticks, and the all time famous Coralista blush by Benefit. I'm pretty happy with everything I purchased. Below are the names and prices of the products that I bought in case any of you might be interested. For those of you on a budget, what I will really recommend are the lustreglasses. These lip glosses are really pigmented, and they make my lips feel very moisturized. Also, there are a lot of colors to choose from which is very nice. I hope you guys enjoyed this haul, and stay tuned for more.

Cheap Shoes!!!

Hello guys, it's me again ;) lol. This time this post is going to be about some cool shoes lol. I know this is a beauty blog, but I also mentioned I was going to be sharing cool tips with you, so this is one lol. I recently found out about this cool website called GoJane.com. To some of you this may not be anything new, but I was like "WOWW" when I logged in and checked out the cool shoes they had in there. They have very cute heels and awesome boots, and the best thing of all is that they are freaking CHEAP. Even though they are pretty comparable to other sites I've been to, I think GoJane has more variety. I suggest you girls check them out if you are interested in buying boots. I bought two pairs of boots and a pair of high heels ( which were not in my original plans lol). The total came up to be around $61.00 dollars and the shipping was free, so I think I got a pretty cool deal. The quality of the shoes is pretty good in my opinion, and they are extremely comfortable. I included some pictures of the shoes that I bought, and the prices are below. I hope you girls check out their website soon.

Heels-$19.99
Buckle Boots-$24.99

Flat Boots-$16.80

Suave Professionals Color Care Shampoo/Conditioner

Hello girls!! :) This review will be about the shampoo and conditioner I'm currently using: Suave Professionals. As many of you already know, Suave has come up with a "new" line called Suave Professionals. They claim that using their products will help you achieve salon hair at a much lower price, so I went ahead and decided to try out their products. I got my highlights done in December, so I'm currently using their Suave Professionals Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner. As of right now, I can say that these products have helped my red highlights maintain their vibrancy. I've been using them for about a month and a half, and up to this moment I'm very happy with the results. I have noticed that my highlights haven't faded that much, but I'll keep you posted on the progress since I don't plan to retouch them until May; therefore, I will have plenty of time to tell if these products really work. Since they are only $2.00 dollars I will highly suggest you give them a try. They have a variety of options for different hair types. Maybe you will really like them, and using them could save you a lot of money. I've been also using Suave Professionals prior to doing my highlights, and I really love how these shampoos and conditioners leave my hair. I hope this helps those of you on a budget.

XOXO
