back

sorry ive been gone..
super busy week.
deleted my youtube :(
and now im having itunes problems....

You'll never guess!!

So I have found this amazing tip for applying your foundation super flawlessly, i mean practically airbrushed!
So what is it?
a sponged-tipped-eye shadow-applicator.
Yes....that little useless thing. Is great for foundation!
Even though it sounds like it would take hours to do your makeup with, it only takes about 2 (or less) minutes, and honestly it looks great.

how to apply--
I squeeze my foundation (16 hr almay lol) and apply under the eye, don't worry if the foundation gets absorbed into the sponge.
Then start to apply from the eye to the nose, then where ever you need foundation.
(I put it under my eye, partially the nose, my chin and my forehead..if needed) so i don't where much foundation.
I can use mine for up to 4 times. One side of the sponge, and there's 2 sides... cleaning can take a while, but just soak it in makeup remover or alchohol.
ANYWAY, please try this and tell me what you think.

Vegan Palette ♥

Dear vegan palette;
I love you so much!
               sincerely, Leah

OK but seriously this is my full review on the vegan baby. (i'm pretty sure you can't buy this anymore, but maybe you can try ebay? or a sephora or ulta)

I actually took this picture (its on my instagram...bleepbloopp)

So this palette comes with 6 awesome colors, an eye liner in zero and a mini primer in sin.

The colors are:

Half Baked

Twice baked

Smog

Urb

Minx

Gun Metal

All colors are obviously really nice, since it is urban decay, and for just $13 it was a steal!

I usually prime, then use half baked on my lid with a little urb in the inners and smog on the outer corners and crease. If i'm feeling extra edgy I'll use some gun metal on my outer corners.

I really love this product and everything in it makes me oh sooooo happy. 

If you have a chance go to the sale section and pick up a palette and you'll love every thing about it.

I can tell this is going to last me a very long time:)

Also, the packaging is so nice, and it celebrates PETA's 30th anniversary. Another reason i love UD is because all their products are vegan, and im a very earth-caring-person :D 

♦ my favorite finds ♦

Hey everyone!
So this site is about affordable options, since almost every blog is about expensive brands!
No body likes to spend more than $10 on an eyeshadow..or at least not me..when i can buy a whole palette for $10 haha.
#1
ELF 100 palette

who can't bet a $10 palette with all the colors in the world! The possiblities are endless!
(available online or at your local target)

2) Urban Decay Vegan Palette
$13 !! OMGOMGOMG such a great deal. I find awesome deals on Urban decay's site :)
Love it. And the original price was $36 (which is totally crazy)
 (stay tuned for a blog just about this baby)

3) obviously my baby...almay 16 hr foundation
just scroll down and read my full review.
LOVE IT BEST FOUNDATION EVERY $10.

4) wet 'n wild liner
i love this liner, its so black compared to other more expensive brands ringing in at just $2.50
find it at your local beauty supply shop or drug store.


WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE AFFORDABLE FAVS!?

Revlon Lip Butters!!!!!

SO ALL THE RAGE !
I finally got my hands on 2 lip butters.
I got one in cherry tart, and strawberry cheesecake.
I just had to get them so I could review, and c'mon how does a "lipstick-but-a-balm", NOT sound awesome?
The laydown.
♥packaging
♥color pay-off
♥doesn't dry out

~not long lasting
~not immensely moisturizing
~amount

Soooo over all I really like this product. Its not amazing like it was marketed but its a pretty good lipstick because it doesn't crease or dry out your lips.
I totally thought that it would be renewing but it is not....it just doesn't dry you out.

Overall I went to Ulta and they had a special where if you bought one you get the other half off, so I ended up spending $12, which isn't bad for the quality. (or compared to MAC silk lipsticks which ring up more then $12)

Affordable match-ups!

All the youtube beauty gurus use expensive makeup...MAC, Chanel, Laura Mercier.
Seriously...not everyone can afford these high end brands.
So what are some affordable matchups?


Milani shadows are super pigmented and cheap! There is plenty of shadow for the price and they're at any drug store!


L'oreal shadows are also up there, they are more expensive then some drug store, but are really nice.


I have this one, the blues are crazy blue (with out primer too!) The black is almost grey, but still really pigmented and the white is honestly a bit chalky, but still very pigmented.

I know, I know, I've raved ssooooo much about this baby. It is so amazing for $10. Seriously go to CVS and pick this up. It is so comparable to any depo-store and has so much product as well.



This is also a nice foundation, but it doesn't stay on too long...nothing can compare to the almay one in drug store!

My mother uses this foundation, its really nice but it only has 2 shades. So false advertising.

How to : Eye Liner

 you've seen it on almost every girl, and it always looks so good...until you try it. Well i have some helpful hints on how to apply your eye liner!
Tip 1♥
This is what I do to apply my liner.
I will usually do it before or after I put on my mascara, I close my eye and take my liquid liner lightly above my lash line. I will actually hit my lashes so it goes on looking flush with the lashes

Tip 2♥
DOTS! So what you do is dot where you want to line
Draw a few dots, about 4 and then connect them, this helps so much if your terrible at free handing. Then curl and apply your favorite mascara.

Want your Room to smell DELICIOUS!

Hi readers!
So this is a little trick that I have been doing for ever.
I take my BBW Cherry Blossom body spray and spritz my bedroom so it always smells good and welcoming!
Recently people have been doing this, but shhhhh it was my idea first!
If plain old body spray is too much you can always dilute it with some filtered water.

Currently my room has been smelling like cookies! Yey, who doesn't like cookies? I take my Vanilla Noel spray and bammmm my room smells delish.

Favorite Polishes for the Winter!

Hi,
So everyone knows that in the fall, warm colors are in, in the summer, vibrant colors and in, and in the spring, cooler variations and pinks are in.
So whats in, in the winter?
If you not into deep browns, blacks, reds, and purples then check out a few cooler, yet still wintery colors.

I know, I know, its a Nars polish but its not too expensive, and this color can be found in any less expensive brand, and this is the perfect winter color.

I love this color, and at $2 you can't bet it! Right now I have this on my ring finger along with Essie's 'Da Bush'.
- Funky Fingers, 'Baby-Baby-Baby' available at 5 below

I'm sure you've seen the Muppets Collection, by OPI at your local beauty supply shop, Ulta, nail place or Sally's. It is so wonderful! Theres 6 not-so-shimmery colors and then 6 chunky-monkey-glitters.
I love it! So great, and a twist on this winter! ♥






 Essie's- Da Bush

My hand, LOL! Anyway, as you can see I paired it with the funky fingers polish! It looks so lovely.
This color is perfect for the winter, spring,summer,and fall! Great!
I bought it in a 4 pack at marshals for $9.99! ♥

   

Essie's Lion Around. I love this color! And on my skin it looks like I don't have any varnish on, and I have perfect nails!

Favorite Foundation! ♥

Hi,
I recently purchased the Almay TLC, true lasting foundation, from my local beauty supply shop! I really love this foundation and can compare it to the new Chanel foundation but with way more coverage. I compare it to Chanel because of how it creates an almost 2nd layer of skin! It looks completely natural on my skin, but on some days I find exfoliation is needed for this foundation to look completely natural.
I did come up with a few pros-cons to help you out further.
Pros-
Looks really natural!
Goes on silky
Packaging is nice! (has a pump and glass tube)
Compares to more expensive foundations
The color blends nicely
Conceals under eye area
Conceals, without looking cakey.
Cons-
Needs alot, I find having to pump 2-3 pea sized areas. And that does not cover my whole face (I don't put foundation all over)
A tad expensive for drug store, about $12, but I got 20% off.
The color is off, I'm in the color Sand, and usually I'm an ivory.

Over all this foundation is SUPER awesome.
