Hi guys!
Sorry I've been missing lately! I hopefully will get back into the routine of posting almost everyday soon!
I just picked up these few things over the past few days and decided to show you guys!

  1. Conair Medium Spiral Curlers- Ah! I love these! Honestly, they make doing my hair so much easier! I put these in at night and sleep with them in, then the next morning I take them out and BOOM! Beautiful hair! 
  2. Wet n Wild Idol Eyes cream shadow pencil in Graphite- I've only used this once so far but I was pleasantly surprised!  I figured it would slide all over the place and give me raccoon eyes, but it didn't.
  3. Revlon Colorstay Nail Enamel in Cafe Pink- This color is so pretty! I'm pretty sure it takes about 3 coats to get it opaque. 
  4. Revlon Colorstay Nail Enamel in Rich Raspberry- L.O.V.E. I sported this color on my toes to prom and it matched my dress exactly it was so perfect! I adore this color and it's super shiny without a top coat which is great.
  5. Sinful Colors in Savage- So you may have noticed that this is actually what I'm sporting right now on my finger nails! I really love this color! It's super pretty.
  6. Sinful Colors in 24/7- Holy neon pink. Literally someone poured like 850000 highlighters into this bottle of nail polish and then made it even brighter! Do you get what I'm saying?! It's insanely bright! I've never seen another color this neon, but I'm obsessed.
Let me know if you want to see more in depth reviews of any of the products, or a hair tutorial using the curlers!
Have a beautiful day! :)

March Favorites


So, I used this foundation over the summer, and I'm back with it! I really really like it! Let me know if you want me to do a review!

Yes, I am very very fair! So if I don't want to look dead, bronzer is kind of a must. At first I thought this would be too dark, but with a big fluffy brush it's perfect.

See my review here!

 I love this fragrance right now! I got this for Christmas from my Mom because she knows how much I adore my original Chanel Chance (Favorite fragrance EVER) but I don't typically wear it in the Spring/Summer so this is a great replacement!

NARS Orgasm- This is another blush that I have been loving lately. I'm really into blushes with shimmer so I have a glowing look. This gives me a gorgeous peachy glow.

Please excuse the beat up tin! :) This has been riding around in my purse for quite a while, but I love this! It smells so good!

If you saw my Eye of the Week post, you would know that I'm using this a ton lately!

I adore this for my under-eye circles! It's awesome!

This and my Loreal Voluminous have been my saviors this month. I'm obsessed.
So.Delicious.

If you want me to do a detailed review of any of the products that I mentioned, just let me know in the comments! :)
I hope you guys had a wonderful March, & I'll talk to you soon!
Have a beautiful day! :)

EOTW - Subtly Sultry



Products Used:
  • Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in R.S.V.P
  • Stila eyeshadow in Mink ( from the Make An Impression in Moscow palette)
  • Loreal Lineur Intense in Black
  • Buxom mascara in Blackest Black
  • Loreal Voluminous in Carbon Black
How To:
  1. Apply one 'coat' of RSVP all over your lid, wait for it to 'dry' and apply a second 'coat' to make it more opaque.
  2. Take Mink on a small crease brush and apply it.
  3. Take a fluffy blending brush and blend out any harsh lines that might be there.
  4. Line your eyes with your favorite liquid liner.
  5. Apply your favorite mascara and your done!
Not gonna lie right now, this has been one of my favorite looks to do for probably the past 2 weeks. It's like the perfect amount of smoky! Let me know if you like this. Also, do you want me to do a look using the Make An Impression In Moscow palette? I also have the Pretty In Paris palette (love)! Let me know :)
Have a beautiful day<3

Dupes for Stila's Kitten


 As you may recall from an earlier post of mine, I said that I thought that Clinique's Daybreak was a dupe for Stila's Kitten. Well I also have 2 other shades that I believe are dupes for Kitten! You be the judge! :)


Stila, Clinique, Maybelline, MAC
Clinique's Daybreak

Maybelline's Silver Starlet
Stila's Kitten
MAC's Love Connection
Sorry about the orientation of this one, I tried to fix it but, it wouldn't work :/
No Flash

Kitten VS. Daybreak
  • Kitten obviously has flecks of glitter in it and Daybreak is just a shimmer.
  • They are similar but not an exact dupe; Kitten has a more peachy bronze tone to it.
Kitten VS. Love Connection
  • In the pan they don't look like they would even be close to the same shade, but because Love Connection is a mineralize shadow, when you mix together all the shades that are baked into that one color they come out pretty close to Kitten.
  • Love Connection leans towards being a more pinky- mauve color while Kitten is a champagne that hints at being peachy.
  • They do have the glitter aspect in common; if you were wearing Love Connection in a look instead of Kitten, someone would have to be staring at your eyes for a very, very long time to be able to tell that you weren't wearing Kitten.
Kitten VS. Silver Starlet
  • Silver Starlet is by far the closest to Kitten.
  • In certain lights it does look like it may be a bit darker.
  • Both are peachy champagne colors with glitter.
  • A bonus with Silver Starlet is that you get two colors for the price of one! I can't say I've used the blue shade (blue isn't really my color), but it does look very pretty!
  • Another bonus is that you get a Kitten-esque color at the drugstore price! How sweet is that?!
Price Differences:
  • Maybelline's Silver Starlet- $5.83
  • MAC's Love Connection- $20.00
  • Stila's Kitten- $18.00
  • Clinique's Daybreak- $15.00

You can buy Maybelline's Silver Starlet here.
If your interested in the original, (Stila's Kitten) just go here.
If you want Clinique's Daybreak go here.
To buy MAC's Love Connection just go here!

Want to see Clinique's Daybreak in action? Go here!

Let me know if you have found any other dupes for Kitten! I'm sure there are tons!
Until next time,
<3
