My top 10 favorite beauty products.



Too Faced: Liquif-Eye Shadow Collection



A palette of 12 ultra-intense, magnificent metallic and smoldering smoky shadows, plus Too Faced's eyeshadow transformer, Liquif-Eye.
What it does:
The depth of color saturation in each of these shadows has been doubled to offer maximum color and shimmer. Each shade can be worn alone or in combination to create numerous eye-catching effects, or in combination with Liquif-Eye to transform any shade into a stay-put
liquid liner.


It is a pretty eyeshadow palette which also comes with a pen. You can dip the pen in one of the eyeshadows and turn it into an eyeliner. Now I suck at liquid eyeliner, but I can do this. I like to line my eyes with the baby blue shade in it.


Wet 2 Style Ceramic Straightener



This ceramic styler dries and straightens your hair in 1-step. Dryer also emits negative ions to help smooth, shine and moisturize hair. Model features 30 heat settings, instant heat, LCD display, ready indicator, auto shut-off, closing lock, swivel cord, dual voltage, and a 2 year full warranty.

It is seriously the best hair straightener I have ever used.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation



Whipped formula provides an air-soft, perfect matte finish coverage, with a weightless feel.
I love this stuff. It covers all my pimples and evens out my skin tone.


AVON NATURALS Banana & Coconut Milk Body Lotion



For the people on my friends list who are grossed out by bananas, please skip this one. I think this lotion is perfect for the summer. The scent reminds me of going to the beach.



Wet n' Wild Glassy Gloss® Lip Gel



Many girls rave aboutMac Lip Glass, but I feel like this brand is just as good. glistening lip gel with intense shine and luminous color all with an easy squeezy applicator! Skate through the year with this long-lasting lip gloss gel and enjoy a glassy see-through shine with color to spare.

Yes this is wet n wild, the brand you find on the discount shelf at CVS. I LOVE it. It makes your lips look super wet and glassy. I like the shades either reflection or candy glaze. In my opinion that is sexy as hell. Just one downfall? The mac lipglass and the wet n wild brand are kinda sticky.

Biosilk Silk Therapy Treatment



Silk Therapy is ideal lightweight replenishing treatment to protect and maintain hair and skin in optimum condition. Concentrated silk, fortified with botanicals and Vitamin E impart a smooth and silky feel while providing a brilliant high gloss shine. Will not build up or
weigh hair down. Sunscreens safeguard hair from possible UV damage.


My favorite part? It smells soooooooooo good.

mark. I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow-



Mix and match classic shades of this long-wearing powder to create your own customized color palette. Super-fine powder goes on smooth and lasts for hours. Whether you want to shade, define, or shadow, any look can be yours. Sold in a single-pan format, it can easily be removed and popped into one of the Snap To It Custom Color Palette Cases, interchangeable with mood or moment.

My favorite shade is called "Heavenly" Whenever I wear that color I get compliments.



Bath and Body works body lotion.



Not only do I use it to moisturize, but I also use it to curl my hair. When my hair is wet I comb it out and part it the way I want. Then I put some of the lotion in my hairs and use it to scrunch my hair into curls. I scrunch for about 2 or 3 minutes, then spray with some gel. Its good to go! Not only are the curls soft, but they also smell good. :) My favorite scents are Black Rasberry and Vanilla, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Sun Rippened Rasberry.

Glow Baby Glow Luxe Hook Up Lip Gloss



Super-reflective, micromirror, pearlized particles capture and reflect light from every angle to give lips a luxe, glam finish. Unique brush applicator.

The reason why I love it is because it makes your lips shiny without being sticky. It has a hint of color. I had overpowering lipstick.


J Lo Love At First Glow



A scent inspired by the magic moment, when innocent sensuality and youthful exuberance meet. Jennifer Lopez has put her first 'love' potion in a bottle… Sweet. Sexy. Instinctive. Top notes of Italian Bergamot, Neroli de Provence and Georgia Peach. Heart notes of Delicate Osmanthus, Pink Jasmine, Wild Rose and Fluid Freesia. Base notes of Blond Woods, Sheer Musk and Vanilla Absolute. The flacon has the same sensual curves as the original J Lo Glow bottle, but with a new glossy look, and features Jennifer's favourite color pink for a sweet and sexy glow!







So now, tell me some of yours. :)

Once, I let Lily put mascara on me... and another time, she put this stuff that makes your lips look fuller on me, my lips looks all puffy and weird. Um, she pained my toe nails glittery pink once when I was asleep, once silver to... btw, you can't tell anyone about any of this.

When I flat iron, I use Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum because it smells great, makes my hair really soft, and is the only way I can drag a comb through my hair without pulling half of it out. It's a great detangler.



To keep my lips super soft and lightly tasty, I use The Body Shop's Vitamin E Lip Balm.



Instead of exfoliating with a harsh scrub, I use Arbonne's Thermal Fusion Masque. You leave it on for 5 mins and wash it off. It gets rid of all dead skin and leaves my face feeling soft and visibly smoother.



My favorite perfume is Gucci's Envy Me...just cause.



This was fun.

i got that wet-2-straight straightener for my birthday and i think it sucks. i use it as a pre-straighten for my REAL straigtener. it IS good to get out of the shower, and straighten without waiting all day to dry because it dries faster than the dryer/air and then i can run my other straightener through it faster bc its less frizzy and awful, but it totally does NOT straighten my hair at ALL.

first off, i have a TON of the mark eye shadows and guess what??? My favorite one is heavenly! its sooo great!

I have a hair straigtener, its pretty good but I want one thats more like the one you have up there...was that one expensive and where can I find it?

Third, i get like little patches of blotchy skin some times and have been looking for a foundation to even it out, so i think maybe ill try the dream matte mousse. ive looked at it before but i didnt know how it worked. now that you say it works well, i definitely have to get it!

I will definately have to try that Wet and Wild lipgloss, I am a big fan of MAC, its almost the only thing i wear. so i am always willing to try a cheaper version to save some money!!


but one of my fave mascaras is Mary Kay's Ultimate Mascara in Black for $15. The best mascara period.

OMG, I loovvvveeee that Too-Faced Liquifeye stuff...it's amazing! I ordered that palette from Sephora a couple of months back, since I love the Too-Faced products usually. I definitely wasn't disppointed either.

And I hate sticky lipgloss, but I also love the shiny/wet look. I find the best gloss for the real wet look and is non-sticky is the C.O.Bigelow glosses from B&B Works. And OMG, I want that banana body lotion!!

My fave products are (too lazy to do pics!):

(1) C.O.Bigelow Mentha Shine gloss in Black Cherry Soda
(2) Sephora Blockbuster Palette (64 eyeshadows, 24 lip shades, 12 blushes, brushes, powder--simply amazing and constantly on backorder on Sephora.com)
(3) Too-Faced Candy Bars Eyeshadow Palette in Thin Mint
(4) Clinique High-Definition Mascara
(5) Bare Escentual Glimmer eyeshadow in Celestial
(6) Clinique Superfine brow liner
(7) Bath & Body Works Jasmine Vanilla body lotion
(8) MAC Sheertone blush in Pinch O'Peach
(9) MAC scents in Pink Aura (my signature scent!)
(10) Cargo Dual Lipgloss in LaLa Land

I could go on forever, but those are probably my top picks!♥

Most definitely cannot live without:


Probably the best eyeshadow I've ever used in my life. Vicki's Secret Beauty Rush Luminous Shadow.

and if you like Wet and Wild lip gloss, you should try my other favorite:


Beauty Rush Lip Gloss from Vicki's Secret

But the best chapstick ever is C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Chapstick, breath freshener and chapstick in one!

I have so many more but I'll leave with that :)
