Up&Up Makeup Remover

Up&Up is Target's brand that supposedly has lower prices. I decided to pick this one up because I had run out of makeup remover. (sorry i was too lazy to take a picture) but this makeup remover has 2 levels, shall we call it?


It says its oil free but... isnt one of the levels oil? o.o


anyways, this product doesnt really remove ALL of the makeup. It does pretty well with removing eyeliner... Not so much with waterproof mascara. It takes a majority of it off, but theres still quite a lot remaining on the lashes, if that is, you dont want to pull your lashes out. ;~;


After using this, it's gonna feel a bit oily. So youre going to have to wash your face... Unless youre alright with that.

Forever 21 products~ Makeup Cleansing Wipes & Tweezers

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!(: 

I found these pictures as a draft so I'll just write the review... Boredom x)

Both of these are from Forever 21 :D

Sooooo, heres some green tea make up removing wipes.

They were $2.80 and you get 30 of them. The cloths are very thin. But, they work very well. I wouldn't necessarily repurchase these though; they aren't really anything special.

I picked up these tweezers because I lost mine ._." I'm pretty sure that they were $1.80. The design is pretty cute... Theres a cat on it :3 They worked pretty well too. and they're not too expensive so ...

Yeah... Thanks for reading! :DD

Maybelline Baby Lips and Lots of Lashes (BzzAgent Kit)

Yay my Bzz Agent package arrived :D I got 5 lots of lashes mascara and 5 baby lips lipbalms; both by Maybelline.

Soo, let's summarize the bzzguide they gave me.

So the baby lips are formulated with a "breakthrough combination of Shea butter, powerful antioxidants and vitamins, and smoothing Centella concentrate." it has SPF 20 and claims to provide 8 hours of hydration for your lips.
Then they describe the stuff they put in it. I'm gonna summarize these

•Shea butter-Repairs, moisturizes and softens
•Vitamin Complex- prevents oxidation of lip molecules and restores damaged cells
•Centella- plumpness and hydration, elasticity, creates line-free look
They also claim to visibly repair and renew lips in four weeks.

Now for the mascara.

Lots of Lashes... I suppose it's a spin-off of their original Great Lash mascara. They say that it has a new applicator brush called "The Great Little Grabber"

That's what the brush looks like. It has spiky things all over and it claims to be shaped for easy application for the inner and outer corners of the eye.
It also claims to build lashes without clumps.
This mascara comes in 3 washable (non-waterproof) shades and is available for $6.40 at mass retailers.

Now, lets get on with the reviews :D
~~~~~~~~~~~
I like the baby lips quite a lot. I only opened two out of the five. They sent me 5 out of the 6 flavors. Two are clear (quenched and peppermint) and three are tinted (cherry me, pink punch, and peach kiss) they don't really have a taste to them except kind of a sunscreeny taste o.o"
I opened the quenched and cherry me. Quenched seems to have no color or flavor according to the thing. But i think it's lemony. Cherry me has no flavor but it smells good. The tint isn't too noticeable. Its very sheer.
This lip balm makes your lips very soft and you dont have to reapply often ^^ hehe.
Would I buy these? sure.

As for the mascara... I don't like it very much. I don't like how it gives spidery lashes. My lashes are quite weak so that may be the reason why. Most of the reviews on BzzAgent say they liked it, but I don't agree.  The application was very easy though, which was good. The color was also very good. I wouldn't buy this mascara though. :/

A day at the mall c:

Sooo, I went to the mall early today and I got some stuff. Just thought I'd show you guys to make up for the lack of posts.

Well here it goes :D
I don't know what order these are in but...

Just chilling shirt $5 ~Sirens
So in love tee $5~ sirens
Hamburger eater long sleeve shirt $10~ Sirens
Belts $3.50~Forever 21
Earrings $3.80~ forever 21

I love the earrings n_n lol and I like the 3/4 sleeve of the just chilling shirt :3 thanks for following me followers!!! ^^

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner

Hehe, I've got 15 minutes before I head off to school, so I thought I'd make a post. So apparently its supposed to be "Ultimate Precision" which, it does give quite good precision.

So theres a picture of the tip.

Practice strokes! :D I like the way it is, precision wise. Formula wise? Eh.. :/ Like, if you put some on and lets say there's a spot you missed, you can't go over it. It'll either take off the other parts you go over or just not work. The brush dries up quickly... I think that's why.

Aussie Sydney Smooth 12 hr Anti-Humidity Hair Spray

I got this hairspray because they didn't have my normal one T.T but oh well. This one doesn't help much with volume. It does keep your hair smooth though. For 12 hours? Nah. It's supposed to be flexible hold. That's true. It doesn't hold very well.

You're supposed to put it in when your hair is damp. It does help keeping it smooth if you spray it in and then blow dry. Were swimming at school so this comes in handy :3 and it's non aerosol.

Maybelline Volum'Express Falsies Flared

 Yeaa... I needed a new mascara so I picked this one up

 The brush is like a "spoon shape" so its supposed to "flare" your lashes and make them look like falsies. Well, I really like this mascara because it makes it look like I have actual eyelashes. Its not TOO clumpy and its a drier formula which is good for my weak lashes. It doesnt rub off and make the areas around my eyes look all black... Right now its my favorite.
I really dont know what else to say, so here... pictures :D

Before

after one coat

So yeah, theres that. Uhm, Its a real big pain to take off -.-

Maybe because I got the water proof formula... But still o.o

Price: $5-8 Depending on where you buy it...

Where?: Wherever they sell Maybelline stuff

---UPDATE---

4.15.2013

It's the only mascara that I have found that will work for me, since the formula is drier than other mascaras. I will be repurchasing this.

Yay! Blogger app = more posts :3

Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer

Soooo, I'm sorry I haven't made a post in awhile. High school is keeping me busy x.x Honors classes -_- anyway...

This concealer is from my last sephora haul and its the Kat Von D tattoo Concealer. I heard quite a lot of people raving about it (JlovesMac1) :) But ch'yeah. So I decided to try it. My dad freaked out when he saw the order form xD he was all like: What? Do you have tattoos? XD

I got this in the shade almond. I couldnt really get a good swatch picture though T^T

Now, about the actual concealer...
Its very good ^_^ I'm quite pleased with this product. The cover is AWESOME :D It's oil and paraben free. I'm happy its the right shade too :) The tube is kinda tiny, but you only need a tiny amount to cover. I'll squeeze out a tiny little bubble thing... Like tinier than... hm... I dont know,... but its tiny. And with that, I can conceal under both my eyes. It's very creamy and it blends well. It's now my favorite concealer :3

UPDATE (about 2 years later[2013])
I still have this concealer and I am nowhere near finishing it. Honestly, this has to be one of the best concealers. I think that I might have to repurchase it now, since it has proved itself to be worth my money. I have been using this daily ever since I got it. I use it to cover blemishes and then I would put powder over, everyday. And yet, it isn't gone yet. It hadn't occurred to me how long I've had this until I looked at this post. I don't think it's good to keep it around for so long, but hey, it's not gone yet!

Warning:3

 Never wash Forever 21 jeans with the rest of your clothes... You'll get terrible smelling clothes... D;

Sephora Hydrating and Smoothing Foundation

Theres the pic & swatch. I really like this foundation even though its a bit watery. Its still good (especially for the price. kekekeke.) I prefer applying this onto my hand, then using a foundation brush to apply and then blending it in with my fingertips xD The pump squirts out quite alot(caus its watery) -.- but its all good... Just squeeze the pump less...


It fits my skin color perfectly (LUCKILY! :D) and it makes my yucky pores on my nose less visible :3 Its not drying and it doesnt feel like theres foundation on your skin. Its quite lightweight. It evens out skin tone and makes your face feel smooth. It lasts pretty long. :3 Light-Medium Coverage. Buildable :o

Love & Beauty: Lip Scrub & Minty Gloss

Sorry,.... but you must break your neck T^T
I picked this up today O_O at Forever 21... Theres 2 versions of this. Theres one with the Minty Gloss in Clear instead. Not that it makes much of a difference =_< You cant see the color anyway. The gloss is clear. It does leave a nice tingly feeling on your lips XDD It barely has a taste. Like.. artificial mint. A little bit like 5 gum in Rain (My favorite!) XD It squirts out alot -.- like a big blob. GR. 


The lip scrub has little erm... I'd call them sugar crystals XD So basically, you apply this and rub your lips together and the crystals disappear. Its kinda like a lip scrub on the go & lip gloss in 1. It kinda tastes... sweet like lychee (some of you may spell it litchi -.-) It makes your lips nice and soft. 


Neither of these are sticky ^_^ So its all good :D

Clearisil Ultra Tinted Rapid Action Acne Treatment Cream

Sorry Guys! I've been really lazy =_= Well, anyways... heres the packaging... It says in 4 hours it will visibly reduce redness and pimple size. 

I've been using this like a tinted moisturizer. Well, I'll apply moisturizer with spf and then this over it. . . 

It works pretty well on acne ^_^ and I like how it blends into my skin because its tinted. This would be good for people who dont have a lot of time on their hands :3

I do wonder what this would look like on someone who has light skin... 

It has 10% benzoyl peroxide :DD 

I sort of compare this to the Clearasil Vanishing Cream except for the fact that you can see that one and cannot see this one.

SWATCH :3:

It does reduce redness and pimple size, but not in 4 hours as it claims.

e.l.f. Cream Eyeliner

I randomly picked this up from target about a month ago on a whim XD It says its long wearing and smudge-proof.

I got the color black :3 So... It's a cream liner. 

The brush is kinda tiny, but its angled. So, it works okay.. Im considering buy another brush though.

I did some random strokes on my hand demonstrating how it does thick and thin XD I llooook like a Zebra :3 This liner is very pigmented ^_^ the color is very bold and black.

I ran it under water and rubbed it and it smudged... Its not water-proof nor does it claim to be but I just tested it anyway x3
Yeah... So, it does last for a long time. I wore it to Disney Land and it stayed on pretty well... But it does smudge around, so i recommend putting black eyeshadow over to seal it. Yea, thats about it... I'm not impressed by this. Next I want to try MAC Fluidline... If anyone has tried it, please let me know ")

B&BW- Liplicious Lip Glosses

This is gonna be a long one xD...

• Sorry for the shortage of posts. I've been pretty busy. I'm getting a new furniture set pretty soon, so I'll take pics x3 

I've been waiting FOREVER to get these ^_^ FOREVER.They're so expensive so I've been waiting. and waiting. and finally it all paid off! Haha, literally.


These are usually $7 or Buy 2 get 1 free.
But... I went to the B&BW at Montclair Mall(Montclair, CA...not canada xD) and they had them for $2. I think that B&BW is having their Semi-annual sale. All signature collection items are 50% off :DDDDDDDD
I only had 5 dollars on me though -.-" blehhhhhh Dx but they gave me coupons :D


So as you can see here, I got fruit punch and limeade.

 I first discovered these thanks to Melany. She had a fruit punch one and I couldn't get over how good it smelled xDD (i have smell issues) But yeah, Its DELICIOUS. so I decided I wanted one >:3 but they were expensive... so we end up here. I'd call this color a fuschia ;D Its got some glitter in it too. BTW it tastes as good as it smells... Ya' know, not that I tasted it or anything...

This one here is the Limeade one. I originally chose the pineapple juice one (Caus I LOVE pineapple)But they didnt have a sample out, I just assumed I'd love it. But I went to the downstairs B&BW (yes, this mall has two O_O) and smelled it xD and... me no gusta. So I exchanged it for the limeade one. Its clear with some sparkles... It says sheer and I have no idea why because uh, no duh, its clear -.- But it smells and tastes like limeade... summery xD


O_O I just realized the flavors I got are both drinks.

Swatches! Fruit punch on top, Limeade on bottom With flash


See? Limeade is clear.

No flash... EW my hand is sooo ugly xD


So, i reallllllly like these. The fruit punch adds the tiniest bit of color and they add just the right amount of shimmer. Its not overpowering. The gloss is long lasting. Not the shine or flavor, but the glitter is definitely there. I put it on before I went to sleep to test this. When I woke up, I could still feel the gloss on there. If you get it on your hands, its quite a pain to take off. These feel very moisturizing. I used to be afraid of lipgloss because I thought it'd be super sticky, but these are not very sticky.

Bath & Body Works Body Butter

 I got this on the way back from San Fransisco at the Gilroy outlets for $5... I think it was pretty worth it :D The scent is Japanese Cherry Blossom. The body butter is realllllly thick. and I mean REALLY thick. You'd think less is more, but you kinda need alot because it gets absorbed very quickly. 

It says it has Shea & Jojoba butters and Oat, Rice, and Soybean Oils for intense moisture. It is very moisturizing but it irritated my elbows and legs (after shaving) So I usually just use it on my hands and other dry areas. It makes your skin very soft & lovely if you use it everyday :3
