My Lazy Days!!

Do you ever have days when you just want to come home and go straight to bed? Forget out your daily/nightly routines of cleanser, toner, moisturizers, scrubs, and face masks is what is all on your mind. Well, I have too have tons of those nights when I am lazy too! It also sucks when you have a full face of makeup on, and the next morning either your pillow is covered in foundation and eyeliner or your face is lol, but you don't have to!

Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes:

Price: $4-$5 (this is the price for a pack of towelettes and the case) $5 for 2 (twin) pack of 60 wipes refills Product: 60 towelettes in all packages Use: Use in morning and evening to cleanse face; no rinsing necessary. Overall: After countless days of going to sleep with makeup on, etc.. I decided I needed some type of wipe to remove makeup plus cleanse my face. I tried different wipes here and there, with different price ranges, but decided on Equate. I love this product and have been using it for more than 2 years. The wipes are very easy to grab and wipe whether its for a cleanse of the face or to remove makeup. Pros: ~ The first purchase comes with a pack of wipes and a tub. Most brands do not come in tubs. ~ Twin packs of refills for the same price of one pack. ~ Removes makeup (I find that these wipes do the job most of the time for me) ~ No fragrance (I can't stand strong fragrances) ~ Cleanses thoroughly ~ No rinsing necessary ~ Not expensive Cons: ~ Can be a little drying, especially for those who have dry skin. ~ Can irritate the eye if rubbed to hard or used over too many times. ~ When you are in a need of one, and the tub is empty. Find product at most drugstores! I use this all the time for cleansing and makeup removing and will definitely keep purchasing!

Here's a picture of me showing how easy it is to use, Just wipe and throw away!

My Friend's FOTD!!

Somehow, I love putting makeup on other people, but what I find hardest, is that I can't find anyone to put it on..lol. I have 3 sis, but they don't wear too much makeup, so I hate chasing them down..for me to practice, and this includes many of my friends. So after a much of begging...my friend let me do her makeup for her (ie. i don't think i'm that bad right?...see for yourself!!). I did a subtle Smokey Eye look using soft blacks and grays to create the look. She a bit darker than me, so I had to substitute some colors esp. face colors to match her...so she won't look soo white. She wanted to not look too made up, but still pretty. After I had finished, I totally remembered that I forgot to take a before pics, so the after picture is all I got. I do hope she liked it...as she did keep it on for the rest of day! Here she is: What I used: Face: Lola Oil Free Foundation/Concealer in DARK Translucent powder Cheek: MAC Nuance Blush Laura Gellar Bronze and brighten Eyes: MAC Carbon e/s for brows Barestudy p/p Shroom e/s Knight Divine e/s Black Tied e/s Blacktrack f/l MUFE Silver Aqua eyes liner Lips: MAC High Tea Lustre l/s Boy Bait Cremesheen Another one of just her eyes!!!

A Little Bit of Haulin

~ A few weeks late, but I just had to show them to you guys. These items were from swaps I did on MakeupAlley, which were awesome since I've been looking for them for quite awhile, and haven't had any wanting to accept any offers from me. I did two swaps on MUA, and received these items: 25 pack MAC Blank Face Charts (can't find these anywhere) Neo Sci Fi Magnetic Fields Eyeshadow MAC for Playboy lipstick in Bunny Pink (i've been lemming for this for quite some time) ~The first swap was for the Face Charts, and the Magnetic Fields e/s. I've always wanted to experiment with my own makeup designs, and tried doing that on regular paper, and it never really turned out as good as the ones I see at the MAC store. I heard that only MAC employee receives them, and aren't sold at MAC stores, which is a bummer, cause I think I would love to see some of my creations recorded for future use. I also had been lemming for Magnetic Fields, since it sold out soo fast in the summer, I didn't get a chance to get one for myself. I like the color, since I am a neutral kind of girl, so it works well for me. ~The next swap was for the "MAC for Playboy" "Bunny Pink" lipstick. I wasn't even into MAC back then, and don't even care for Playboy, but the lipstick is super cute. I've seen only a few of these sold, so I know it is a hard to find item. I saw the listing up on MUA, and decided what the heck, I'll ask the swapper if she wants to swap, doesn't hurt in asking? right? lol. So I did, and she replied and gave it a go. I was a little hesitant at first, but after a few pictures, I do believe its a real MAC lipstick. Here's the Pics:

MAC for Playboy "Bunny Pink" lipstick- isn't it gorgeous, I love the packaging

FOTD!! Be-Lated Valentines Banquet Look!!

I did this look for a Valentines Banquet, my church was holding this past weekend. I didn't have much time to get ready, since I was up early making egg rolls, and getting my photography equipment ready for the banquet (my hubby and I are photographers....!!). I wanted to curl my hair, but ended up not having enough time, so it was straightened. Also wanted to go with a dramatic look, but ended up not liking it, and sticking with the clean kind neutral look. What I used: Face: Sonia Kasuk Face concealer Bare Minerals Foundation-medium Cheek: MAC: Lightscapade, Nuance Blush Laura Geller: Bronze and Brighten Eyes: MAC: Barestudy p/p Shroom Sable Blacktrack f/l Jane: Brownie Points for brows L'Oreal: Great Lash MUFE: Aqua Eyes silver Lips: MAC Cutester l/s Boy bait creamsheen

Do I look Ready for the Banquet? lol!!!

bye bye!!
