swatches

             

                     I bought my first MAC lipstick!  Well okay,  my husband bought it for me.
                            This lipstick is like my new baby, I love it so much! Now I want to try more!
             Sophisto is a Lustre finish. It is a berry shade with a fine gold shimmer to it. Perfect for Fall!
          Here are some pictures that I took of myself with it on. I warn you that I am not good at taking
                    pictures of  myself, especially when I can not see myself in the frame of my camera.
                   From these angles I look like a hoity-toity B**** in my opinion, which I am not!
                                 This shade looks scary in the tube, but when applied it comes off  more sheer.

    I should have applied it more heavily for the pictures so you can see the true color, because it is buildable.

Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava Solid Perfume Review

When I went back home to Oregon to visit we went to Seaside Beach and while shopping I came across a little boutique with the cutest things. I came out of the store with a new found love. Pacifica  solid perfume.

I love the exotic fruity scent and I love how I can keep it in my purse for on the go. Especially in the car, where I can easily whip it out and not worry about spraying  perfume and having my husband and kids choke on the strong scents.

They also have  lotions, soaps, body washes and scrubs,  lip balms, candles, and reed diffusers.

They come in 23 different fragrances including florals, fruits, woods & resins, and herbs & spices.

Including Waikiki Pikake and Indian Coconut Nectar, which I also lusted after and will be my next

purchases from them. You can find them in some Sephora's, Whole Foods stores, and online at Ulta.com,

Sephora.com or  at  PacificaPerfume.com

NOTD Sally Hansen Magnetic

           Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color in Ionic Indigo  
    This was my first magnetic polish and I really liked it! It was sent to me by Influenster.com! I just wish I got one of the purple colors, I don't really care for blue nail polish. But it looks really cool! It looks 3D! Sorry it's so sloppy, this was my first time trying magnetic polish and I kept on touching the magnet to my nails! I really suck at doing my nails :(

                         Have you ever tried a                     magnetic nail polish?  
    How did you like it?

Birthday Haul!!!

So I'm back in town in my new cozy little apartment, and I finally feel like we're starting to get settled in.
When we first moved in, I felt like I was in a hotel. It was weird. I had a lot of fun in Oregon though, visiting my family. These are some of the things I brought back with me...

From Top to Bottom, here goes.....Revlon Lipstick , Covergirl Lipstick , Milani  blush,
DKNY Be Delicious Perfume,  O.P.I polish,   Zoya Polish,  MAC eye shadow,
MAC MSF, Tarte Blush, Tarte LipSurgence, and Tarte Lipgloss. I also picked up a pair of Guess sandals that I have been wearing a lot and I didn't get the chance to take a picture of them new, since I started wearing them right away when I got them. I thought you would be grossed out if I took a picture of them now and posted it! lol

and MAC Mega Metal Shadow in Tweet Me.

Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Blushing Mauve, Tarte Maracuja Divine Shine Lipgloss in Achiote,

Prize Mail!!!

Hey everyone!! I know it's been a couple months since I posted, but I've been busy busy! I was in Portland, Oregon for a while visiting family which was pretty much my Summer vacation. Then when I got back to Cali
I had to move into my new apartment, which is really exciting! I also had to register my son at his new school and go school clothes shopping for him. I came back with some Birthday presents from my Dad, which I will be doing another post on soon and.........some PRIZE MAIL!!! YAY!!!!    Yep, Lucky me won a blog Anniversary giveaway from my friend Sam at samram1214.blogspot.com!   Here is what I won.....



Dolly Wink liquid Eyeliner and a Dolly Wink Eyelash case! I'm excited to try the eyeliner because I haven't tried Asian makeup, other than a sample of  Lioele BB cream. I'm also excited that I won the eyelash case, because I've been wanting to try false lashes for awhile and now that I have an empty case well...might as well fill it up with lashes! :)      Thank you so much Sam!!
