Maybelline Eyestudio Quad

Maybelline Eyestudio Quad! I remember these coming out about.... what a year and 1/2 ago or so? Whatever the case, I watched some videos on these on youtube, and everyone seemed to like them, however I never picked one up, until yesterday!!

The color I got, was Ravishing Rose. Apparently it's limited edition, I'm honestly not sure what collection it comes from either, I'm just beginning to get into the whole drugstore makeup deal, as I've been so pre-occupied with my higher end products to notice the drugstore gems! That being said, this is a beautiful quad, full of pinks, and one purple. One highlight baby pink color, one baby rose color, a little darker than the highlight, and medium dark pink with gold glitter, and a deep purple with more of a satin finish. What can I say, I'm a girl, I'm a sucker for pink!

So I tried this out last night, just to test it out before wearing it an entire day, and I was quite impressed!! Color payoff was pretty good! Not to mention they blended very easily, and the fallout was actually less than most of my Urban Decay shadows!! Sold!! I wore this today over an Urban Decay cream shadow, in Midnight Rodeo I believe, but I wore it over a regular base last night and had similar results.

I put this on around 10 this morning, and it's about 8 now, and it's all still looking wonderful!! In fact, I think I'll wear it tomorrow, and I am SOOO not the kind of girl to usually wear the same shadows twice in a row! Seriously, drugstore gem for me! I'm going to have to try out more shades!!

And just in case you were wondering what else I wore with this pink/purple eye look, I just wore a bronze colored blush (MAC Equilibrium), so I wouldn't detract from the beautiful pink eyes, and a berry lip (Maybelline Bit of Berry). I'll have to do a review on Maybelline lipsticks, they're a growing favorite of mine right now! And also I used my Maybelline baby lips in 10 - peppermint, which wears very well under lipstick! :-) Happy drugstore hunting!

I love online shopping!!

I know, I'm crazy, but I think waiting for and anticipating something awesome in the mail is great!!! I know for a fact I get this kind of rush passed down from my dad.... who is quite the online shopper himself!!! I'm sure he's so proud of me!! Haha, j/k.
So today I got a package from ups!! I only had to work a 1/2 day, and I totally made sure I had nothing else to do today but wait for my package at home!!! Maybe that's why I love online shopping, it makes me actually happy to be at home for a day!!! So I was off of work by 11, and my stuff arrived around 3!! I got a blush from mac.... and it is FABULOUS!!!
I got the shade mocha, which according to the website is a soft plum pink with a matte finish. And the website picture did not do it justice!! I never would have even thought to try this color out, but I remember from about 8 months ago or so that I had looked at this color at a mac counter with my mother, and I remember thinking how pretty that color was!! So here I am 8 months later, finally getting mocha, and loving it!!!
So there ya go, online shopping is one of the things I really appreciate now that I live in a small town.... :-)

mascara "Day 7"

Alrighty, sorry for the short delay, work and a little bit of sickness got in the way of me being on here!! Well, I don't know if it was sickness or exhaustion, but either way!! But back to the mascara!! Alrighty, so "Day 7" things are going pretty good, but not fantastic. What I've been doing is really scraping the brush off back into the tube before I apply it to my lashes. And it really does help the clumping, but as for volume, not anything special!! It's really disappointing... another mascara to add to the "crap list"!!! I also don't like the fact that I have to curl my lashes with this mascara... I'm a lucky girl who never has to curl her lashes, but this stuff makes me do it or else my lashes look really floppy!! So there ya go, I'll update ya more later, but hopefully this has been somewhat helpful to someone...
