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 ")

Revlon Eyelash Curler

Woot! We're at 7 followers, 2,000(+)page views and 90(+) posts :DD

So I picked up this lash curler from Target because my elf one was dying xD I liked the elf one. First thing I noticed on this one was that there was no finder rest thing which I loved on the elf one. But I decided it was alright...
I find this to be a good size and very easy to clean ^_^

I REALLY REALLY like the way it curls my lashes :DD It kinda pinches a little skin, but you kind of get used to it... "/
Well thats that...

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.
