Hair dryer brush

I have A LOT of hair and it drives me nuts when I try to get ready.  I can’t let it air dry, because it looks like I have a perm when it dries. It’s not a cute perm; it’s a flat out mess.  I have spent so much time drying my hair, then straightening it.  If I am going out I have to dry, straighten and then curl.  It’s just so time consuming, so I usually just wear it in a ponytail.

On a whim, I bought a hair dryer brush.  I had one before and the bristles were so small that it didn’t work with my thick hair, but I wanted to give it another try.  I’m sure glad I did.  I was able to dry my hair today and didn’t have to straighten it afterwards!  I highly recommend this dryer brush if you have thick curly hair!

Kylie Dolce K Lip Liquid

I’m one of the lucky ones.  If you want Kylie Jenner’s new lipstick, you have to be online the MINUTE she restocks.  If you wait even a minute, there’s a very good chance that you WILL NOT be able to order Kylie’s Ultra Mattes.  I was the lucky one, not once, but TWICE!!! I got my first oder of Dolce K about a week ago and I’m in LOVE!! I got in a second time to get the Koko K, but I’m waiting (im)patiently for the mail to come in.  Now, If I could just get lucky enough to get the glosses!!!!

Enjoy my review. The lighting is a little off and I look really shiny.  It’s also the first time I’ve put lipstick on using a computer as a mirror. It’s all good though! I made the video just for fun!!! Also, make sure to like my youtube channel!!!

Colour Pop Limbo

I’ve been looking at all these beauty blogs and they take these really pretty pictures of their Colour Pop Lip Liquid in their mouth, so you can see what the color looks like on actual lips.  Well, apparently, they either have no flaws or REALLY good cameras with REALLY good filters.  Since I only have a camera phone, my picture turned out HORRIBLE.  I guess you won’t get the standard lipstick in lips picture from me.

Colour Pop Limbo is the last of my reviews on their ultra matte lip liquids.  This is another daring color for me.  It’s a bit darker than I would normally wear, but I don’t feel uncomfortable in it, so I think there is a place for this color in my life.  I think this color will be perfect for the dress up night on my upcoming  Carnival Cruise.

Overall, I highly recommend Colour Pop.  They are long lasting and very inexpensive.  Definitely worth a try!!

It’s a Match!

I’ve been trying out all the Colour Pop ultra matte lip liquid that I bought a few weeks back.  Overall, I really like them, but Beeper is my absolute FAVORITE!!! You’ll be seeing me out and about in this color for sure!!

March 2016 Ipsy Bag

I signed up with Ipsy this month!! I’ve been so excited about getting my first bag.  When it finally arrived, I was a little disappointed.  I think I need to go update my quiz because I got random items.  My two friends got stuff that seemed more like what I would want, so I’m going to have them show me what they put for next time!!

It’s pretty fun getting the items in the mail and it’s only $10, so if you want to sign up, too, use this LINK!!

Colour Pop Trap

You may be asking yourself, “What color lipstick should I wear when I go flying in a private plane?”  I never thought I’d be asking myself that question, but today I had that very question on my mind as I made plans to fly from Rockwall to Terrell in my brother-in-law’s plane.  I decided that Colour Pop Trap was just understated enough not to draw any attention to myself as I climbed aboard this cute little plane!

The flight is about a ten minute flight, which was the perfect amount of time for a first timer like myself.  Strangely, no planes were in the air today.  When we were about to leave, a man came running out to let us know why.  Obama is in town. We had to call in a flight plan to make sure we were safe to fly.   Once we got clearance, we made our way to Terrell, but they gave us some wrong code and when we let them know we were about to land, we found out they were about to call in Secret Service because they didn’t know who we were!! Of course, they worked it out and we landed safely.  I wonder if my lipstick choice was the actual reason they didn’t have send out the Secret Service!! 😉

Colour Pop LAX

My friend turned me on to the Colour Pop ultra lip mattes.  Her lipstick was always on point even after a long day.  The big secret was Colour Pop!! Since the price was only $6.00 a piece I decided to be a little adventurous when I made my order.

LAX is way darker than I’d normally wear, I kind of feel like a vampire wearing it!  I doubt I will get this again, but it sure is fun to play around with on a gloomy Saturday!!

I’ve got my eye on you! 

If you are looking for a large palette of eye shadow for a reasonable price, I highly recommend BH Cosmetics. The price was so easy to my wallet, that I figured I would be getting something where each color was the size of a dime.  Boy! Was I wrong! Each one of these shadows is about the size of a quarter!! It’s crazy how much you get for your money!!!

Another bonus to purchasing, was that they stay on pretty well! I always use primer before I apply, so I’m not sure if you would get the same results if you don’t use a primer.  There are several different color palettes to choose from, so if you’re new to make up like I am, this is a great buy!

I ordered Essential Eyes on Monday and received them on Thursday, so it’s close to instant gratification!!
