Vintage Red

I know I've been out of the loop lately, taking summer classes and working hard, so I've been very tired too!

So here's a quick FOTD I did on my friend. She's soo wonderful, because she let's me play with makeup on her face and trooper for doing that. Thanks! Yeng!!!
I decided to go for a Vintage Pin up theme, with the black liner and red lips. Not too sure if I achieved what Pin up is, but I hope I did. I think it turned out alright, not too go with the liner, but I guess I tried. I also added false lashes in, not the best at the application, so I'm still learning to perfect that. Sorry I keep forgetting to take pictures of what I used, so hopefully next time I remember to do that.

A Little Peace FOTD

Here's a quick FOTD that I did awhile back that I never posted up. I've been so lazy, that I haven't been doing any make overs for myself, LOL. I love to play with eyeshadow the most, so I guess you can say its more of an EOTD?...hehe.

I decided to go more for a smokey light blue look using Urban Decay Shadows from the UD Deluxe Shadow Box (review coming soon). This was done awhile back, so I'll try to list all the items I used in the picture.

Gifted!!

So a few weeks ago, I entered a Birthday Contest hosted by lovely mayaari
It was to guess when her birthdate was, and to my surprise, I guessed right, along with a few other people. The other surprise, was that my birthday is exactly on the same day as hers, April 17th.
So this is my first contest that I won so far on blogger, I'm not too lucky in winning, so I guess this was a blessing.

Fast forward today!! I came home from class, and found a package on the dinner table. I thought to myself, I didn't order anything, or swapped anything, why do I have a package? After a few moments, I was like "O Yeah!" its the contest birthday gift thingy on blogger. I was super excited as to what was in the package. Diana was soo kind to include all the goodies in the package, I was super surprised and happy!!

Birthday items:

SO MUCH STUFF!!!

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

~Helps Dry out Acne Pimples ~ Rinses Away Blackheads ~ Helps Shrink Large Pores

Since I got my Sally's Card, I decided I was gonna give this masque a try. I've read a few reviews here and there through many blogs and decided maybe it might work for me. The Sallys in town didn't have the tube, so I bought the jar. For the price I paid for it, it has a pretty good amount of product in it and its a good size. Overall, after I tried, I liked it and I really did see a difference.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque:


Price: $2.99 (w/ Sally's Card)
Product: 3 oz. (85g)
Details: Designed to help with acne, remove blackheads, and shrink pores.

Pros:

~ Price- this is very affordable and cheap
~ Cool minty smell fragrance
~ Product tingles your face, (means its actually working)
~ Doesn't take too long to dry, just in enough time 15-20 mins
~ Significant acne reduction: pimples, blackheads, pores

Cons:

~ Can be harsh for sensitive skin
~ Burning sensation (can be more intense for some)
~ Jar product: easier for bacteria to grow
~ Available only at Sally's Beauty Supply or limited to some online sites only

Overall:

It does help with most acne and does help clear the skin. It's not a miracle product where everything will disappear the next morning, but it's close. I did feel some type of burning sensation but minimal to where I could bear it. It's a very easy product to use, all you have to do is slather some on evenly, wait for it to dry, and wash away. Pretty simple!! I also love the fact that it's pretty cheap and has lots of products to last for awhile.
