Mini Haul & Aqua Foam Eyes

I finally ordered a MAC palette, slowly building on the colors since they have so many. I'm quite impress with the color pigmentation on the regular eye-shadow. And I absolutely love the palette, I couldn't stop touching it hahahaa

I got the 15 refill pro palette...

...it's actually pretty small when you hold it.

e/s in Swimming - grass green with specs of glitter

e/s in Prussian - matte navy blue color

e/s in Freshwater - bright gorgeous blue with tiny glitters (I already slashed it with the little packaging it came in... clumsy me!)

e/s in Malt - matte skin color with a slight pink undertone

e/s in Bisque - matte skin color with very light peach undertone... it may look a bit similar to Malt but putting it side by side, Malt is a lot pinker than Bisque.

I got this trio from Sephora in exchange of my 500 points for being a Beauty Insider. You can too! Just build up your points and redeem it for these great little goodies.

It's quite small but it can last for a couple of months since you don't need to apply much. The orange bottle is a serum and it smells so much like oranges, yummm. The little blue jar is the Sheer Transformation which smells like coconut to me. Last but not least the green little jar is the night gel, I'm not too fond of this gel at all but it's great for spot treatment!

I decided to get the Sustainable Shadow Box since the colors were more appealing. The only thing I don't like is the way the palette opens and closes. I feel like I want to break off the cover.

Aqua Foam Eyes

I did yet another blue eyes cause it's so pretty and I wanted to show the variations with the color blue. This one is more a daytime birthday party kind of look, it's cute and simple.

Products used:
Eyes --
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer
E.L.F. Duo e/s cream in Blueberry (the lighter color)
Urban Decay e/s in Kiddie Pool
MAC e/s in Freshwater
Sephora Long Lasting eyeliner in Black
any black pencil eyeliner
Mayebelline Lash Stiletto Waterproof mascara in Black

I assure you it was a pretty easy look. I slabbed the Kiddie Pool all over the lid and bit higher and then used Freshwater on my lid and not passing my crease. You see the gradual shift in color as you go higher. Then I lined the top and lower lash line and popped the mascara on. How simple!

My hair is starting to grow out. I don't think I'll be cutting it cause I do miss my long hair. But the not short not long hair is sort of bothering me. Totally can't style it, and the wind keeps making my hair slap my face -_- Speaking of which... allergy season is here!

Buy 1 Get 1 Free - Maybelline

So, who doesn't like free stuff? I know, I know you have to buy something first but it's a pretty good deal. You're buying 2 things for the price of one!

This week at Walgreens, they have a buy 1 get 1 free for Maybelline eye cosmetics. Since, I needed a new mascara I had to take this opportunity and get it. I love Maybelline's Define a Lash Lengthening Mascara, so I thought of giving Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara.

My two items, I decided to get another pencil liner. When I got home, I looked at the pencil liner... looked awfully familiarrrr

... it's pretty thin compared to my Sephora waterproof pencil liner...

... really thin indeed, and AHA this was one of my first ever pencil liner! This goes way back to like junior high or something? lol don't remember how well it was but it's worth to give it another try since this was the free item.

And here is the Lash Stiletto, I really like how long the bristles are. Love the packaging, it's so cuuute. Can't wait to try this out and see if it compares to the Define a Lash one.

Yup, that's me. See my lashes? That was the magic from Define a Lash, hope Lash Stiletto does that magic too! Btw, I love how plump my lips look here lol

Walgreens still has it's buy 1 get 1 free until the end of this week -- Nov. 7th so check it out if you want some eye cosmetics

El'view: Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Foaming Scrub

Claims: To remove surface dirt, makeup, and oil. The gel helps to lather up into a foam and the blue and white microbeads helps scrub your face leaving skin feel clean and energized.

Pro: I like this product quite a lot. It does what it claims. The scent is also really refreshing, I use it every day when I shower and it cleans my face from all the oil and the makeup that I wore for the day. The beads aren't too harsh on the skin and it sure does leave a tingly sensation after you rinse.

Con: The only bad thing about this product (to me, cause it might not happen to you) is that it leaves my face quite dry afterewards. I mean you can't say that it didn't work because it really takes off the oil and dirt. But, I use a moisturizer right after I shower it's not a big deal for me.

Price: $7-8

Would I buy it again? I'm on my second now! That's how much I like it because it actually works. My skin is oily as the day goes on so this is a life saver for me.

On another note -- nothing to do with the neutrogena review lol

Cherry Culture is having a 20% off on your entire order, so if you love/like or want to try NYX Cosmetics, do go to the site and check it out. Btw, the price at cherry culture is a lot cheaper than the NYX's website. I already placed my order, will do a haul when it comes.

Tata all!
