yourbeautybest:
15 years, 15 pencils! 15-year anniversary, and they’re celebrating with this mouth-watering set of FIFTEEN 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils… including SIX all-new shades and a sharpener!
Is it worth $92…I don’t know. They are full size and I do love these eye pencils but I just can’t imagine…

Great Finds.
I took a trip to my nearest CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) before Thanksgiving. I wish I lived closer, but since I don’t its always a treat to go. For those of you who don’t know, a CCO is like heaven for a makeup junkie. Just like other outlets, this store holds makeup from various brands (including mac, estee lauder, clinique, etc.) and sells them at a discounted price. Most items are...

Thankful.
This year I am thankful I get to spend the Holidays with my Sugar Daddy (aka my husband). Last year I wasn’t able to fly the 2,016 miles home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I spent it all alone with my text books and reruns of Bridezilla.
This is the first year Jon and I will spend the holidays together. His family is traveling all the way from Dallas to spend the week with us in...
Shoe Lovin'
I’m not much of a shoe lover. I don’t own very many pairs of shoes, and I actually prefer to spend my money on clothes & makeup. However I ran into these two pairs of shoes this past weekend that I just couldn’t resist…
Ankle Booties from Forever 21, and snake skin Steve Madden platform stilettos.
I’m really picky when it comes to buying shoes: I...

-beautyaddict asked: Hi, I saw earlier today that you were enquiering about the Bobbi Brown concealer? Just thought you'd like to know i've done a review on that, I hope it's helpful :)

Sheer Pink.
I usually love to wear bold colors on my fingernails. However, this past week was super stressful for me. I studied my heart out for two exams that ended up kicking me in the butt. I hate studying Medicinal Chemistry! Ugh.
Anyway, I barely had enough time to eat during the day, much less do my nails. So I chose to wear a sheer color that reflected my mood.
This is My Private Cabana by Essie. It...

Chapped Lips?
Sometimes carmex just doesn’t cut it. Living in dry southern California has really taken a toll on my skin, especially my lips.
I am really loving Smith’s Rosebud Salve. Got it as a birthday gift and I’m hooked. This award winning lip salve has been around forever, smells like roses, and a little goes a long way. This emollient can be used to calm dry or irrateted skin (like...

The Perfect Pair.
MAC’s Fluidline in Blacktrack and the MAC #266 couldn’t have been more perfect for eachother.
It is nearly impossible to apply a gel eyeliner with precision without a good angled brush. The bristles must be hard/stiff enough to create clean lines. Out of all the angled brushes I have tried none compared to the MAC #266. Want to make even thinner lines? The MAC #208 is the baby...

Green with Envy.
Who says it has to be March to wear green?
Pretty Edgy by Essie. This is the color my husband picked out on his own and purchased for my birthday. I like your taste, husband. =)
Greens are actually really popular this winter. Here are some of my personal favorites:
Watermelon Rind by China Glaze, Pretty Edgy by Essie, and Wandering Vine by Orly.

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. III
I had the best birthday I could ever ask for. My wonderful husband surprised me with a gift every 2 hours until he ran out. He started with the small things and then the gifts kept getting bigger and better, and the last gift I received was the best: the Urban Decay Book of Shadows I have been lusting over for weeks!
This isn’t just a regular eyeshadow box, this is a limited edition...
