NYC Lip Sliders

This is another item i picked up at Dollar Tree for $1 a few months ago. I had been curious about the NYC Lip Sliders for a long time but i couldnt find them anymore!

This particular shade is Pink Sugar, a warm deek pink. It gives lips a healthy flush but isnt 100% pigmented so they color payoff isnt amazing.... however, it is a gloss and not a lipstick so thats to be expected. These are a tad thick/sticky and i have a feeling if left in a purse, car, etc where its hot they would def. melt.

Overall i'd give this a 7/10 if i had to rate it, but it was worth the $1 i paid for it.

Palladio Rice Powder in Translucent

A few months ago i read a review on this product by Mica G, a Luuux.com friend. Ever since i saw her post i had been dying to try this and one day in June i walked into Sally's Beauty Supply and to my surprise they had a brand new Palladio section!!

Price: $4.99

Size: 0.6 oz

Packaging: This comes in an adorable sturdy plastic box with a tight fitting lid.

Product: This is a translucent finishing powder but it also comes in two more shades for light and dark skin tones. Translucent is meant to suit all skin tones and types. I apply this with a duo fibre brush or powder brush after applying my liquid foundation to finish & set it.

PROS: Very affordable, doesnt feel heavy on skin, blends very well, no scent

CONS: May be hard for some people to find, only comes in 3 shades

Overall im pretty pleased with this and ive been using it all summer. It gives a nice matte finish to foundations and sets it so it doesnt budge, while reducing oily/shinnies at the same time. Definitely worth the $4.99

Almay Pure Blends Eyeshadow in Cinnamon

I got this full size Almey Pure Blends eyeshadow in Cinnamon at Dollar Tree for $1 :) If you don't live near a Dollar Tree or have never been in one you are totally missing out! EVERYTHING is only $1 and they have a fairly large beauty selection with products like E.L.F., Almay, Maybelline, Revlon, and more!

This eyeshadow, called Cinnamon, is a bronzey-brown sheen shade. Its very pretty and pigmented pplus i love the packaging! It has a very sturdy, tight metallic closure and its very feminine looking. Overall im pretty pleased with this and i think ill be heading back for more!

NOTD: OPI Teenage Dream

LUSH 9 to 5 Cleanser/Makeup Remover

This is an amazingly gentle makeup remover and cleanser! It smells very lightly floral and is white & runny in consistency. I purchased this from LUSH in June after running out of my prized Baby Faced makeup remover. However, over Summer i actually have learned to like this alot more!

To Use:

1. Apply to a DRY face and massage in, especially where there is heavy makeup like the eye area. It will not irritate or burn eyes.
2. Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes.
3. Using a warm damp washcloth (ring out the excess water) begin to wipe away the cleanser.
4. When you're finished wipe face w/ a cotton ball soaked in toner and put on your favorite moisturizer once your face is dry.

Thats it! Its a little different from most products but its very soothing and softening on skin PLUS it takes away all dirt and makeup. I have combination-oily skin and this has never broken me out or gave me problems. I really love using it before bed.

NOTD: Essie - Super Bossa Nova

This is ONE coat of Essie's Super Bossa Nova from their summer collection called Brazilliant. Isnt it beautiful??

My Everyday Look

So this is basically what my makeup & hair looks like on a daily basis and it has been this way throughout Summer and Fall. I do switch up my eyeshadow colors alot but they usually stay pretty neutral. My hair is naturally wavy/curly so i can shampoo, comb, and spritz in some Aussie Sprunch Spray when its 1/2 dry after pulling the bangs back to achieve this look.

Its pretty quick and very simple for me to do which is important because i'm a stay at home mom so all the laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, feeding the dogs, running errands, paying bills, sweeping & mopping the floors, cooking, and taking care of my daughter is left up to me everyday. Therefore i need something quick & easy so i can get back to doing what i need to do for the day.
