Kylie Cosmetics Birthday Collection

This is long over-due, however in my list of hauls I would like to post, this is the most exciting. At least in my opinion. Who knew that I shared a birthday with a Kardashian and her b-day lippie would be Leo. I became obsessed, even though I owned nothing from her line and had no desire to until then. Leo Leo, for me, was a must have. Between the deep burgundy color and the name, I accidentally ordered 2 kits I was so excited. Little did I know this lippy wouldn't live up to what I thought it was. The lip liner glides on like a charm but is not even when attempting to fill in the entire lips. When wearing the liquid lip with or without the liner, it becomes cracked through out the day, and continues to wear off starting from the center of the mouth. Now this is completely normal for a liquid to matte lip stick to dry and possibly crack, however, KVD and ABH ones will last all day before doing so. The color is beautiful, but I do not believe this product was worth it. P

Another Update!

Happy Fall!!! Who knew that working 7 days a week wouldn't allow me time to update on the blog! I have finally cut my hours so I can come right back on here and keep sharing my love of everything beauty just in time for fall. There are a few posts lined up for the rest of this week including a few more hauls, favorites, and I am already planning out the rest of my Halloween looks for the month of October. In the past few months I have gone to a new job, trained, and I am actually starting to feel at home here. I think I mentioned it before, but for those of you reading for the first time, my full time job is in an office in the world of ticketing. Ticketing for concerts, sports, and anything you can think of for venues on our client list. So along with being able to test products daily since my work days are shorter, I am also starting to get back into attending games and concerts in my area! As you may have seen on my snap chat, I was given tickets to a Philadelphia Union gam

Broken Doll

For my first official look of the Halloween season I recreated the Broken Doll from Wet n Wild's page! This took about 4 hours to complete and took a lot of patience. Enjoy! To prep and prime, I cleaned the skin with Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 and Murad Oil-Control Mattifier . I then took the white cream face paint from the Fantasy Makers by Wet n Wild Cream Palette in Queen of the Dead to cover my entire face. Everything was covered in the white except my eye lids. From there I used the Real Techniques sponge to set my face with NYX HD Studio Photogenic Finishing Powder . Later on I realized that the eye shadow Skulls, from the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix Palette, gave a pearly, almost doll like finish. Once my face was whited out, I started on the eyes by priming with Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer . For the eyes I used two shadows from the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette. I started in the crease with a deep grey, Lap Dance, and covered the lid with S
