feb favs!

Orly and OPI are my addiction. i FINALLY got my black matte by opi from sephora after they gave me the wrong one. they gave me a regular black polish; and i was so upset when i got home super excited to try it on. womp womp. but even though it was opened they refunded me and it so happened that they had one more lying around that day; so i got my matte polish, about time!! i LOVESSSS IT. no, you dont understand, i LOVE this nail polish. like....adore it. these two have for sure been on my repeat list, specially the caramel brown. the picture below is just one coat so it looks eghhhh but trust me one more coat and these two colors are sex on a stick!

just goes great with my skin tone i think. makes my toes look too sexy for my shirt; they are yellow right now, but im thinking about going back to my latte brown tomorrow because i truly adore it.

new brushes

3 great new brushes added to my collection; this is proof that you don't need to spend tons of money for good brushes. i was at target and ran into these three that i sorta kinda needed/really wanted!! starting from the left; first one is an all around brush; you can pretty much use it to blend, apply shadow, or for the crease. its rounded and pointed so you can really get in that crease and be precise with color. must have! second is basically the same thing, but a little bigger and thicker. last but not least a concealer/creme shadow brush which i was desperate for. all around 6 dollars a piece and work great for the price.

best eye makeup remover!!

GOODBYE FACE WIPES!!! im done with you!! i found this and i love itttt. face wipes are kinda greasy and can irritate your eyes; and it would always take me forever to get MAC makeup off because the eyeshadow base i use was so good; but this gets rid of eye make up in literally one swipe. and not to mention its oil free and no funky smell. try this ladies; literally one cotton ball gets rid of TONS of makeup.

Heat protector is a must!!

if you flat iron your hair on a daily basis or blow dry is, this product is a MUST!! i've been using my flat iron for years without anything besides shine serum on my hair and not too long ago i started to notice that my hair was getting thinner and really light. i use to have pitch black hair and ever since i met mr flat iron that went out the window. girls its never good to apply direct heat to your hair without some sort of protector so, i finally gave in and when and got one since i know flat irons(as good as they are) still cause damage if you use them frequently. i read through a couple reviews for different brands but people seemed to worship this chi one so i went out and got it. i think i payed around 13 - 15 bucks for it; but WELL WORTH the money. not only does it make your hair smell great; which is a plus since flat iron hair smells awful! but it leaves your hair SUPER shiny and nice. this product will for SURE be a re-buy and i am promising to not do anything heat related to my hair without it!!

WOW!!

so let me tell you guys!! I DIDNT BLOG FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO I REALIZED.....I FORGOT MY PASSWORD!! AND LOGIN EMAIL. i got so frustrated trying to figure it that i was like effff this and gave up. luckily im stubborn!! haha and i got it back finally. so, stay tune for LOTS OF STUFF TODAY!!

Brush Holder

so if your getting into makeup and you went out and got some brushes, your wondering: WHERE COULD I PUT THESE SO THAT THEY DON'T GET DAMAGED OR ARE IN THE WAY?. i tried many different things; from pencil holders; to cases; to cosmetic cases; etc; point blank i tried it all. im in sephora alot and one thing i always thought was adorable was the way they did their brush display!! so i got creative and made my own.






SUPER EASY TO MAKE GUYS!! all i did was; i bought a clear base; any holder will do; and bought flower filling; any sand or sand like filler will do. it looked a little plain....


so i bought some cute pink ribbon and tied a bow around it just to add a little jazz to it. you can get a holder as big or as small as you want depending on how many brushes you have. and hey! it doesn't have to be brushes; you can put pretty much anything you want in these!
