Mall Haul!


I went to the mall today! My family went to Il Fornaio at the Galleria Mall for brunch for Father's Day then we went shopping. I went to Lush and Sephora.


I'm going to start with Sephora since I got the most there.





The first thing I got is this Lancome Hypnose Waterproof mascara in Black. This was $27.00.




The second thing I got is this Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner in Trooper. It was $18.00


The last thing I got at Sephora is this Too Faced Tan Without The Twinkle. It was $15.00.


I got a sample of a cleansing oil. I've never used a cleansing oil before. If I like it, I'll buy it.


I went to Lush.




I bought the Daddy-O Shampoo. I love this. I have a small size of this and I use this once a week. It was $19.99.




My mom bought me these sunglasses at Sunglass Hut. They were on clearance for $65, so that's a great price, and they're polarized.

Thanks for reading!
Have a beautiful day and don't forget to smile!

Everyone loves a little sparkle! Add a healthy dosage of sparkle in your life with the cream palette that comes in a variety of complementing colors. The creamy texture allows the sparkle to be applied easily with an applicator onto your skin.

This product should be used on the body and not on the eye area.

Create some drama with these voluminous faux eyelashes! Available in 30 different styles that you won’t be able to resist. Each includes an individual eyelash adhesive to last you all day long!  

Ingredients:
acrylate/ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer, iron oxide (ci 77499)

I am in love with this bag save for the two J.Cat Beauty items. The Cream Palette is for teenagers. The false eyelashes don't look well-made. Two out of five ain't bad. At least I still have three items I can use.

Let me know what you think of the items you got.

Thanks for reading!
Have a beautiful day and don't forget to smile!

Product Review: Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion.

Today I'm going to be reviewing my staple eyeliner, which is Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion. I bought this at Sephora for $15.00 quite a while back. It came in a cardboard packing the same color as the eyeliner. It comes in two pieces that you unscrew. The long end houses the brush and the short end has the actual liquid eyeliner.
The brush is thin and is kind of difficult to work with. Sometimes, it'll flay out on me and mess up my line, but I'm practicing. It's a pure black color.
Here's what the bottom part looks like. I do wish it was clear so I could see how much I have left, but it's a good way of keeping eyeliner, albeit unhygienic since that brush is in there all the time.
 This is what it looks like on my hand. I applied it thicker so you guys could see the color better. Once it dries, it will not rub off, but once you get some water on it, it'll start flaking off, so no-go on the 24/7 part. It does come off with oil-free eye makeup remover. I am very happy with this product and I would totally recommend it to those who have more experience with liquid eyeliner.
 
Thanks for reading!

Naked 2 Palette


I finally bought the Naked 2 Palette! I feel so far behind, but I really wanted it. It comes in a plastic case and has the actual palette in it along with a freebie.





I bought this at Sephora for $50. This is what it looks like without the plastic over it.




The palette itself is in a metal case and has Naked 2 written in raised lettering with Urban Decay under it. It's quite nice.




(excuse me being in the mirror).
There are twelve shades in this palette and a double-ended brush. The colors are from left to right: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, and Blackout. There are four matte shades and the rest are shimmery. I love the fact that there's a matte black.




I also got a mini Lip Junkie in Naked. I'll buy the full-sized once I'm done with this. It's so pretty!

Thanks for reading!
Have a beautiful day and don't forget to smile!
