Urban Decay Mascara SkyScraper~!

Pros: The brush is tiinnyy!! It has short rubber bristles, like shorter then I have seen with these type of brushes. Which is good for shorter lashes as you can get closer to the base of the lashThe wand is longer then most mascaras. The tube is a rubberish texture and is black with purple writing and swirls. Adds thickness and volume but no length!

Cons: Smears and is difficult to put on lower lashes. Does not make lashes appear longer (skyscraper) just adds volume!
 
I won't buy again, I will be returning it to sephora... As nothing compares to Benefit they're real and sephora lash action mascaras.

How to find the greatest deals on makeup!

1. Sign up for emails for your favorite companies!
2. Always check reviews!
3. Never buy on ebay! inless you know for a fact its authentic,don't waste your time. Most makeup on ebay is fake and do you really want to pay high end for a dollar store makeup or china replicas?
3. Check for promo codes and coupons, retailmenot.com is a good one or the couponsapp for your phone.
4. Check the clearance/sale area online or in stores first
5. Trial Sizes are awesome too!!! They can be cheaper and usually half the size with most beauty products.Less then half the price you can buy two of the trial sizes for cheaper then the full size and get the same amount!!!
5. Sign up to sites like Mypoints.com and when you shop online go through their link and get rewards for your shopping!!!
6. Sign up to makeup subscriptions! I'm a member to Ipsy and love it. I get to try new makeup/hair/nail products for 10.00 a month and the products are always worth more then the bag itself!!! 
7. Buy Gift cards
8. Sephora and Ulta offen offer trial gift sets with orders and point systems to get deluxe samples as well!

Concealer tips?

How to do your concealer. I know, I stole it from the body shop but this is a excellent little diagram had to share!!! 
I do mine in a exact V starting from the inner corner and ending at the outer corner. I also put a dab of highlighter right in the middle of the v and blend outwards! I use boi-ing by benefit in light 01 and it works wonders for me!

Review on Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Nourishing Styling Treatment


I have thin hair and a lot of it. I can't brush my hair when its wet or even barely damp. Last time I went to the salon they had to have 3 people cut my hair as it tangles so bad. My hair is not color treated but acts like it's been bleached several times. My hair isn't damaged at all very healthy I would say, just drys out and is very thin!!!
I started using this back in march when I got a sample size from my ipsy bag. I immediately fell in love, I stopped using it after the sample was gone and didnt buy it again until september as I couldnt find it at a resonable price. $20.00 bucks is expensive for 4.2 oz. Well they had it at ulta for 9.00 for their breast cancer awareness version and I stocked up... 
I use this every other day and love how it soaks in and doesn't make my hair feel extremely greasy like other things I have used. I use this as a overnight treatment and put just a dab in it while drying it and my hair is brushable now! It also smells wonderful like a light honey smell.
This has done wonders for my hair. I can brush my hair without it breaking or knotting and have had compliments on how shiny and healthy my hair looks now!!!
I definately recommend this if you have thin hair and unmanagable hair!

Ugh Acne and my constant struggle~ review on DuDu Osun soap



So I saw a youtuber beauty guru going on about this soap and decided to try it...
It looks rather strange and doesnt smell that great either. It's also a bar soap which 
puts me off, as I like liquid cleansers!

I have combination skin with cystic acne on my lower chin and occasional pimples on my t zone.

I used this soap once in the morning and once at night, I wear full makeup 4 days out of the week.

Day 1 I used the soap once at night to remove makeup about 2 hours later I noticed my skin was a little peely and dry...
Day 2 Washed face with normal face wash (the body shop tea tree oil foam cleanser) in the morning hydrated with (apothcary rosey cheeks) as my skin was peeling. Wore my makeup for 7 hours while at work once I got home washed it off with dudu osun.
Day 3 Woke up with no new zits Yay!!! Skin Isn't as peely and dry now, decided to wash with the dudu osun soap. I wore no makeup and at the end of the day washed with the dudu osun again.
Day 4 Skin is dry but peeling is minimal. I have two zits but tiny things and on my eyebrow a place I dont break out at all. I washed once in the morning and once at night.
Day 5 holy macarol!!!  I woke up with two cysts on my chin and about a dozen or so random zits on my cheeks! and severe dry skin. continued to wash with the soap morning and night
Day 6 Skin is painfully dry but zits are dried out and going away.( used 100 percent hemp oil face cream as it doesnt make me break out.)
Day 7 The dryness is getting better and no new zits wore makeup.( it was hard to wear makeup as my face was dry in some spots and scabby wear the zits were)
Day 8  Zits are dried out and no new ones
Day 9 Dry skin no new zits
Day 10 Dry around mouth and nose everywhere else is amazing and normal, no new zits
Day 11 Wore makeup for 8 hours and had a zit underneath it when I took it off, washed with the soap and it was dried up and almost gone by the next day.
Day 12 A couple new zits and dryness around mouth
Day 13 Skin is still dry complexion is starting to get better on forehead cheeks and nose
Day 14 Seems like my skin is getting use to the dryness, I only had to use moisturizer on the corners of my mouth. No New zits
Day 15 Skin is even now but dry on corners of mouth, a cyst on my chin has surfaced after two months. I also have two on the side of my jawline that are hard and have not surfaced so hoping the soap will help them.


OK, So I used this stuff for 2 weeks straight, I would purchased again as it did help my acne stay under control. I do feel, I need to use it longer just because my skin did purge(the zitties came to the surface) and with wearing makeup and all. BUTTTT I hate the dryness and you definately need a good moisturizer thats non comedogenic to battle the dryness. At times I couldnt open my mouth, as it was so dry!!! All in all if you have oily skin thats not sensitive this would be a excellent soap to cure acne!

Sigma Creme De Couture Palette Review

So I needed a Bright shadow palette to add to my collection but with staying power and for a affordable price. I recently tried the sephora academy palette  http://www.sephora.com/makeup-academy-palette-P381158?skuId=1534858 and it had no staying power and smudged throughout the day even with a great primer but I loved all those bright wonderful colors. I also have been looking at the sugarpill palettes but $35 for 4 colors is a bit pricey.
So I decided to take the leap and try this out. I paid $35 for this with shipping (mind you this has 16 colors) I also had a promo code. I was suppose to get a free gift with it but sigma did not include so that was a bummer. I also ask if the did any samples as I had never tried this brand and they never even responded to me not getting my free gift or if they do samples(WTH).
 Then my stuff arrived horribly packed. I thought my eyeshadows would be broken because when I opened the box there were no packing peanuts or bubbles just a statement and the palette. Thankfully the palette was intact. SOOOO sigma gave me crappy customer service.
 BUUTTTTTT The Palette is amazing!
I love how its matte and how the colors last a long time and how they have minimal fallout. My fav colors  are the ginger pumpkin and almond pear.
If you love a pop of color and want quality,I suggest this palette but hurry its limited edition!
