Christmas Palette haul and UD Vice palette comparison!

 Hi everyone!!
So if you saw my christmas haul than you know I got a lot of palettes so here is a post swatching them!

I got the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette! This was $59 and you might still be able to find it online!
Here are some comparison pictures from the 1st Vice Palette.


Here is the top 2 rows swatched!


Here is the bottom 2 rows!
This is the Marc Jacobs eyeshadow palette in the lolita. $59
It's so sleek and beautiful!
All of the shadows swatch beautifully!
My favorite pallete is the Too Faced A few of my Favorite Things palette!  I believe this was around $59.
Here is an over-view.
There are 20 eyeshadows

Every product in the palette is very pigmented.  I can't say this about all the other palettes.

And here are the 2 blushes and 2 bronzers.  The right is the Sun Bunny bronzer: the 1st is both colors mixed, 2nd is the lighter and the last is just the dark color.
The last palette is the Tarte off the cuff palette.  I also believe this was around $40.

The colors are: Crave, dazzled, darling, dollface and park avenue princess bronzer.

Hope you enjoyed and had a great holiday!

Urban Decay Naked 3 is here!!

Hi makeup lovers!
I finally got my hands on the Urban Decay Naked 3 palatte!! Ahhh i'm so happy!

The packaging is just like the Naked 2 but it has some texture and it's more of a bronze rose gold color.


 It has the large mirror, 12 new colors and a double ended brush.
 The first six colors are : strange, dust, burnout, limit, buss and trick.
 The second six are: Nooner. liar, factory, mugshot, darkside and blackheart.
 As you can see in the picture the 2nd color; dust, is chunky and glittery.  All the other colors are perfect!!
 The color nooner is the only one I can find that is similar to any other "Naked Palatte" colors which it tease.
 All of the 3 palattes are $52. They did raise the price for all of them to $52.
 Just for a reference here is the Naked and Naked 2 palatte.

Hope you enjoyed!! New videos will be coming soon!!

Mini haul and review!


Hey guys today I have a mini haul and review!  I picked up 3 lip products an illuminator and travalo.  

This is the Victorias Secret pro radiant flash brightening cream.  There is a ton of product in here and you only need a little bit!
 It has a squeeze tube.
 When you squeeze out the product it's a white color with some shimmer.
 When you blend it in it's a little bit pink toned. Nothing to dramatic but it gives a great glow to your face.  I would say the best way to use this is dot a tinny amount on your upper cheek bones and pat it in.  If you rub it I think it might take off your foundation. If you want to see this in action check out my get ready with me fall tutorial.
 Next is the Revlon lacquer balm in the shade demure.  I only have one of these but it seems a little sheer. I have seen other people showing these and it might be the color I have.
 The matte balms are totally different thought!  I have the color sultry.  They have GREAT color payoff and last all day.  The only thing I can find wrong is they are a little drying.  Nothing to much but something I noticed.
The last lip product is the Maybelline color Elixir in mauve.  These glosses have a doe foot applicator that apply color perfectly.  They are super creamy and have great color payoff. 
 Here are swatches of all three.  From left to right we have the lacquer balm in demure, matte balm in sultry and the Maybelline Elixir  in mauve.  They are all swatched with one swipe.
 I picked up the travalo at a perfume stand in a mall.  The main reason I picked this up was for gym class.  It would be perfect to put my current favorite perfume in.



 I'm sure you know how to use it because a lot of people are talking about them.  But you take off the sprayer thing from the perfume.
 Then attach the bottom on the travalo to the small nozzle on the perfume.
 Just begin pumping it to fill the Travalo.
 And there you go, all filled up.
I hope you enjoyed this post and check out my get ready with me!

What to keep in your gym locker!

Hi everyone! Todays post is a non-beauty post.  I feel like everyone needs to have a small stash of essentials in there gym locker.  This is different stuff for every one.  Some schools make you shower but mine doesn't.  I have gym 5th hour which is the last hour of the day for us so i'm not to worried about looking good to go home!  But if you have gym first hour or before you go home I totally understand that you want to look good!  Last year I had gym 2nd hour and it wasn't fun having the rest of the day to look kinda bad-ish!!

First you are going to need gym attire! Tennis shoes are a must!  I am getting some new ones over thanksgiving because these are really dirty from band.
 Gym shorts!  You can also wear yoga pants but I would recommend shorts.  Make sure they meet you dress code!
 Short athletic socks are perfect!
 Any t-shirt works! There are some girls who try to look good during gym but there is no way i'm going to ruin any nice clothes in gym class.
 Now for the beauty stuff!  A hair brush is a must! I also have powder and a mini kabuki brush. You can also bring concelar for quick touch ups! And of course perfume!  I am bring my travalo with any perfume in it!  Some girls will do an entire face of makeup but most people don't have time for that.
 Now some non- beauty products!  Hair ties and bobby pins.  Weather your hair falls out or you want to put it up for gym.  Band-aid and blister pads in case your shoes rub.  Q-tips for makeup melt down and thin panty liner and tampon in case of emergency!  And you always need a lip balm!
 I keep all of that stuff in this bag from thirty one.
 I put my clothes and small bag in this cute draw string bag from thirty one!


Hope you enjoyed and found this helpful!!!
Have fun in gym class!
