YES TO CARROTS
Can You C Me Eye and Face Makeup Remover
I was using Balms Away after hearing about it from Pixiwoo. It's cool but its so thick and resembles Vasaline I was over it quick. THIS STUFF HOWEVER.. its fresh, I like the idea that its filled with natural goodness, and if you put it in the fridge it feels like heaven. As for its makeup removing power, its pretty decent!

FYI, If it's liquid and goes on my face, I almost always put it in the fridge. Try it sometime!

With its first 5 ingredients listed as spring water, carrot juice, rosemary extract, algae extract, and cucumber extract its sure to give you a good dose of health karma points! YES, I would def buy again.

BENEFIT BROWS A-GO-GO
I was using Expresso e/s to FILL (not shape) my eyebrows. Now, both brow powders in this kit work for me. The lighter shade to fill and the darker shade to shape. Also, the highlighting shadow isn't so bad. Only CON, I prefer the Benefit Eyebright in pencil form. YES, if it's still avail in the future I would buy again.

DIOR ADDICT LIP GLOW
HG LIP PRODUCT OF ALL TIMEEEE.. or just for now. As some of you may have heard, it works with your bodys chemistry to give you a custom shade that looks EFFING FAB ON YOU! It moisturizes, lasts very long, and the shade it will give will most def work on you. HELLZ YEAH I WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN! Even for the hefty $29 price tag =/







Since i've been sooo busy with school and all, this is pretty much what gets me by in the morning. Plus my tinted moisturizer and Co Bigelow chap stick. =)

1. The Body Shop Bronzing Powder shade 2. I've used this in my FOTD.. and it's pretty much my default bronzer. I love it to death. It's sheer enough to give that nice glow, but not so it looks like a fake tan. MY MUST HAVE FOR THE SUMMER, even though San Francisco doesn't have much of a summer. lol. I have no idea how much this costs anymore, I used to work at The Body Shop (hence why I have tons of make up from there), but I really feel like it's been slept on. If you're near a body shop, mosdef check out the make-up.. also the face products. I LOURVEEE THEM!

2. True Blue Cotton Lotion from Bath & Body Works. My girls can back me up on this.. when i smelled this, I knew I NEEDED this. I got it at their sale, and I THINK they've discontinued it. So if the sale is still going on, and they still have it on stock, check it out.. it was only about $5!! ahh, bargains!

3. CoverGirl LashBlast! If you've never tried it, you should. I became a fan when the 3 pack was on sale @ Costco. I got it for about $9 and some change with the coupon.. pretty damn good. I love bargains! I think this has become my holy grail mascara!

Toodles!

Jemma Kidd/MUFE/Benefit Haul.

So I went downtown with the intention of finding and buying these daddies..

They didn't have my size at sheikh's.. LAME. I'm pretty bummed out because I was looking to up my summer shoe game. It's cool though, I ended up with this stuff instead!

MUFE Flash Color in White

I'm hella mad because I got home and opened it and it was freakin' used! BOO! So I've gotta exchange it now. I asked the Sephora SA and she said that it's not crease proof either, just fyi. Has anyone tried it yet, lemme know wsup!

Jemma Kidd Light as Air Liquid Foundation in Med.

Haven't tried it yet looks pretty promising though. Only thing that sucks is the packaging.. I opened the tube and I guess there was an air bubble in it and it started squirting like no other!

Jemna Kidd Bio-Complex Cover in Med.

IDK what exactly is up with the "Bio-Complex". Nothing in or on the box said anything about it.. oh well.

Jemma Kidd Contour & Flush Creme Blush Duo
Photobucket
Pretty good stuff. Reminds me of and might even be a good dupe for The NARS multiple duo.

Jemma Kidd Pro Flat Top Foundation & Pointed Cream Blush/Foundation Brush.
Photobucket
The girls at Pixiwoo can be seen using these babies.. unfortunately the pointed foundation brush was a little damaged but it was the last one so what the heyyy.

Benefit Brows A-Go-Go
Photobucket
My usual brow person wasn't in but I just couldn't wait. I was straight WOLF'n it out for about a week, it was time to tame these bad boys! Anyhow, the lady suckered me into buying this kit. It's actually not so bad. It comes with brow wax, two shades of brow powder, black eyeliner, eyebright, and a brow highlighting powder. Only thing I absolutely HATE is the packaging.. its like made from cardboard. Def NOT THE BUSINESS!





So anyhow, thats what I got. Regular price, Jemma Kidd is pretty expensive but supposedly her stuff wasn't doing too well at Neiman Marcus so she's getting the boot! I got all this for like.. idk, HELLA marked down. So if you're near NM cop some Jemma Kidd while you still can!


Lastly, MJ we miss you! I know as you're watching your memorial on that big flat screen in the sky, you're missing all of us too.
