Lipstick of the moment: (Short Semi-review)
Maybelline’s ColorSensational Lipstick in “Coral Lustre”.
I’ve really been into the coral/reddish-orange lips lately. This one is gorgeous and goes quite well with my skintone. It’s a lustre finish and gives off a really nice shine just by itself..You really don’t need a gloss over this one.
If you can tell, the colour is a bit on the sheer side - But...
Will anyone be trying out NYX's new matte...
I’m really curious about these. May just pick one up to try out. :)

Maybelline's FitMe Foundation
Hey dolls,
I recieved a request from one of my lovely followers to do a review on Maybelline’s FitMe foundation. Now, there are ALOT of mixed reviews out there about the FitMe foundation, and I do want to point out that it is really up to how YOU like the product. This is my personal opinion, based on my experience of using it. So let’s start! :)
PROS:
The finish is really...

"She refused to wash off make-up for two years" →
makeupbox:
A Korean variety show recently featured the appalling story about a young lady who has not washed off her makeup in 2 whole years.
Obsessed with staying perfect-looking all the time, the 20-year-old simply kept layering on more makeup each day.
Her skin, apparently, had aged to that of a 40 year old’s.
I’m guessing that’s in part due to all the oxidation damage from decomposing...

everyaperture asked: I am so mad about the NYX sale fail! I have never purchased NYX products before, and I don't really have the money, but when I saw this sale it was like an angel from heaven! Now I'm devastated, and I can't find NYX at a good price anywhere near me.

Product Review: E.L.F.'s High Definition Powder
Hey lovelies,
I’ve been on a search for the perfect setting powder (I’m very picky with powders…I don’t know why. LOL) and I think I’ve finally found one that I really love.
I picked up E.L.F.’s High Definition Powder a couple weeks ago and have been using it everyday for the past week. *Random fact: I only shop for cosmetics when there’s some kind of...

My little shopping fail/mishap.
So two Fridays ago, I decided that I wanted to go to H&M after work to pick out some Spring outfits. Mind you, the nearest H&M to me is 30-45 minutes away depending on traffic.
I get home from work, change, and head down to the mall where the store is located. There was also a massive storm/tornado advisory going on that day so traffic was pretty bad. (No rain or tornado can get in the...

Q&A's:
Anonymous asked: what hair color fits you best? I see on your personal tumblr that you are mostly a highlight type of girl :)
Answer: I typically change my hair colour from dark to light (yes, w/ highlights) pretty frequently. Right now it is highlighted- I just got it re-done/touched up last weekend. Updated pics will be up soon.
Anonymous asked: I can't go on the website did the servers crash? I hope their lipsticks won't run out!
Answer: To be honest - I opted to not partake in the madness, mainly because I already have WAY too much NYX stuff that I know what to do with (maybe I'll do a giveaway soon) but I did hear that their servers crashed and the drama that came with that. I do hope they extend the sale - Since no one's been able to access their site since... The sale was supposed to start. O_O lol.
Anonymous asked: Seriously, WTFFF happened with the Nyx sale? so unprofessional. i was very grateful that they were selling things for such a low price but the website maybe worked a TOTAL of 10 min. and i live on the east coast and have school on the morning, and they wanted me to keep trying til 8am because they were 'so gracious' to keep the sale up that long? forget that. tell them next time put their money where their mouth is!
Answer: LOL I agree. The website was in no way shape or form prepared for this madness. =\
Anonymous asked: are you one of those crazy nyx fan's going crazy because the site isn't working? it sucks because I tried going on the site and it says unavailable, and if you go to nyx facebook page they are basically saying you have 12 hours to shop and they are not going to postpone the event... which sucks because i'm here est time and I have to sleep soon for work tomorrow morning :( they failed miserably.
Answer: No, I was not. Opted out because I already have too much NYX stuff of my own :) I agree, this was a huge fail on their part. Hopefully they fix the web and extend the sale as a courtesy to their customers.

Anonymous asked: Hey love it's love-dtina. I'm way to lazy to sign into my tumblr lol. but I bought the lo'real ever pure color shampoo. It's the red bottle or i mean cap. is there a difference? like is the yellow cap for the highlights? because if so I think I got the wrong one lol
Answer: Hey girl. There is a difference between the 3 types of L'Oreal Everpure Shampoo/Conditioners you get - But I honestly don't think it makes a significant impact on the effect it'll have on your hair. The one with the red cap is typically for dry/damaged hair. The one with the orange cap (I have this one) is supposed to tame frizzy hair/as well as protect colour/highlighted hair. Regardless of which one you purchase - They all do not contain harsh sulfates or salts (which is a huge plus for highlighted hair). Depending on where you got it from - You can probably return the shampoo you got and exchange it for the one you meant to pick up. Good luck :)
oil-slick asked: Do you need an online checkout code for the nyx anniversary sale?!!?
