What's in my makeup bag

I have seen several people do this on youtube and blogs so I thought I would share what is in mine! Afterall we all are a little nosey ;) The little makeup bag I found at the thrift store. It probably came in a makeup set cause it says Estee Lauder. This has worked for a while but I have been needing a new one.

Products I regret buying

Today I am going to share a few products that I regret buying. I know a lot of stores will take beauty items back but I am usually horrible with receipts! I am trying to be better but anyways now to the complete fails (in my opinion).

Sally Hansen Gem Crush Nail polish


I got the glitter fever just like alot of people out there! lol When I saw that Sally Hansen came out with new glitter polishes I wanted to get my hands on them! Well thankfully I only bought one! After applying two coats this felt so thick and heavy on my nails, to the point where I got an intense need to get it off IMMEDIATELY!! Then this was a NIGHTMARE to get off!! And I tried the tricks that everyone recommends to remove glittter polish more easily and it only minimally helped.

Covergirl Country Woods eyeshadow quad


When I bought this I had a covergirl trio which I love so I bought this. Thankfully I bought it with an awesome coupon so I pretty much got it for free. I was so dissappointed in the pigmentation of this quad. The color payoff for all four colors is terrible. Granted perhaps it is my skin tone that throws the color payoff off but that should be no excuse. In my opinion these shades are not buildable what so ever!

Suave Keratin Dry Shampoo

Now to be fair this dry shampoo does its job but the reason I regret buying it is for the smell!!! Some people either love the smell or hate it! To me it smells way to strong almost like a cheap perfume smell. Its hard to describe but just way to strong for my liking.

Covergirl Lipstick in Sultry



As I get more and more into makeup I have come to realize I just dont care for Covergirl as much. I haven't tried anything from them recently that I absolutely love. This makes me kind of sad cause I used to love them! Anyway my main complaint with this lipstick is the smell/ taste. I think if I am going to put something on my lips I want it to have either no smell or taste or a pleasant scent and nice taste. So if you happen to lick your lips or some of it gets into your mouth the taste is like plastic/ chemical -like. Needless to say this lipstick is collecting dust!

Hope this gave you a little insight into some products you were possibly thinking of purchasing! What products were total fails for you?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

HEY EVERYONE! SO I HAVE NEGLECTED MY BLOG BIG TIME AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL IF YOU LOOK THROUGH MY OLDER POSTS. HOWEVER I AM BACK AND HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME ON MY HANDS TO BLOG. TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THE TOP 5 PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY LOVED SINCE THE TIME I STOPPED BLOGGING. THESE WILL BE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

1. LA VANILLA HEALTHY BODY BUTTER IN VANILLA LAVENDAR


I FIRST RECEIVED THIS LOTION LAST YEAR IN A BIRCHBOX. I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT INSTANTLY AND QUICKLY FINISHED UP THE SAMPLE AND ORDERED THE FULL SIZE. I FIND THE SCENT TO BE SOOTHING AND RELAXING. IT HAS BECOME MY GO TO BODY BUTTER AND I PLAN ON REPURCHASING IN THE FUTURE! IT ALSO COMES IN DIFFERENT SCENTS IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN OF LAVENDAR  - RETAILS FOR: $20.00 FOR LARGEST SIZE AND $10.00 FOR THE 2.75 OZ.

2. LOREAL INFALLIBLE EYESHADOWS


I CURRENTLY ONLY OWN AMBER RUSH AND BRONZED TAUPE. THESE ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE EYESHADOWS! THEY ARE ADVERTISED AS BEING 24 HR SHADOWS, I AM NOT SURE IF THAT STATEMENT IS TRUE BUT I KNOW FOR ME THEY HAVE LASTED UP TO 16 HRS WITH PRIMER. GIRLS WITHOUT OILY LIDS HAVE SAID THEY RECEIVED THE SAME RESULTS WITHOUT PRIMER. THERE ARE 12 SHADOWS AVAILABLE. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GET THESE THEY RETAIL FOR AROUND: $6-$8.

3. PHYSICIANS FORMULA ORGANIC WEAR MASCARA

THIS MASCARA IS AMAZING FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO SUFFER FROM SENSITIVE EYES OR ALLERGIES. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ALOT OF THE BAD STUFF REGULAR MASCARAS CONTAIN. BEFORE EVERY MASCARA I WOULD USE WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN IT WOULD BEGIN TO BURN MY EYES REALLY BADLY AND WOULD END IN A HORRIBLE SMEARED MESS. WITH THIS ONE THAT HAS YET TO HAPPEN. RETAILS FOR $6.00-$9.00 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GET IT.

4. MILANI LIQUIFYE EYELINER


I HAVE THE BLACK ONE. I LOVE THIS EYELINER. IT STAYS DARK THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND APPLIES SO SMOOTHLY. I CAN ALWAYS TELL A MAJOR DIFFERENCE WHEN I USE A DIFFERENT EYELINER, FOR SOME REASON THIS ONE SEEMS TO GIVE MY EYES LIFE! THIS RETAILS FOR AROUND: $7-$8

5. ALMAY SMART SHADE MAKEUP

I RECENTLY GOT THIS PRODUCT. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE A TINTED MOISTERIZER. I WASN'T EXPECTING A MIRACLE WITH THIS MAKEUP. BUT I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE IT! IT IS LIGHT COVERAGE BUT FOR ME IT COVERS UP ENOUGH AND GIVES MY MAKEUP A NATURAL LOOK. I HAVE GOTTEN COMPLIMENTS EVERYTIME I WEAR THIS. THE ONLY HUGE DOWNSIDE IS THAT THE SHADE RANGE IS VERY LIMITED. SO REALLY MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS IF IT COULD REALLY MATCH YOU BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CONTAIN ANYTHING MAGICAL THAT IS INSTANTLY GOING TO MATCH EVERY SINGLE PERSON! THIS RETAILS FOR : $7-$10
