August Beauties

I'm so grateful to have a husband who UNDERSTANDS my love for collecting makeup! Here are just a few 'beauties' that I've added to my collection within the last month :)

Urban Decay's Naked Palette, i love that it's basically neutrals. Fans went crazy over this, its always soldout online!

 

 

 

 I purchased the Book of Shadows II last year & have been sold on Urban Decay since. It's pretty pricey so I never buy any separates or individual products. (one eyeshadow= $17!) Instead I wait for their palettes to come out, which are ALWAYS awesome & never a disappointment. The packaging has cool designs centered around a theme & not only do you get a great selection/variety of colors, but also an eyeshadow primer and eyeliner pencil. My palette was around $44, kind of alot but you definitely get more for your money with palettes! I can't wait for their limited edition I <3 NY!

It's coming out soon

 So James loves his TV & PS3, I on the other hand LOVE my YouTube makeup & hair tutorials. Its my excuse for a cheaper version of beauty school that I'll never put time/money towards officially. So I watch my Beauty 'Self-Taught' Guru's who I think know more tricks of the trade than most professionals. Anyways I was watching my favorite DulceCandy87 & she introduced a drugstore makeup brand from the UK! I was able to get my hands on some, woohoo. Now Long's needs to stock their shelves with these, the UK knows what's up!

The 'Original' Palette: earthy tones & neautrals

The 'Sunset' Palette: I needed some color variety in my collection

The 'Circus' Palette: BRIGHT colors!! It's also limited edition

 I needed a few little additions here n' there after running out of lipstick & glosses from Night Show. I don't wear a lot of lip products (the most was chap stick while @ BYU Provo) so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on restocking my supply. Anyone in need of CHEAP but GREAT QUALITY makeup/brushes should invest in E.L.F. Products (Eyes.Lips.Face. Cosmetics):

Everything is literally ONLY a DOLLAR!

Ever Girl should try NYX cosmetics, of course they're affordable! I enjoy their Jumbo Pencils & have finally completed my set. You can use them as eyeliners, eye shadows, or as a base to make your eye shadows pop! James even had a use for them last Halloween (little did i know) as his Zombie makeup!

My fave's & most used are: Black Bean & Milk

I also wanted to try their primer in Skin Tone & Pearl

If you're living in the Laie, HI area you may know that Conjunctivitis or for you mokes Pinkeye has been going around! Blah! Its hit my family and also a lot of girls at work. ONE of whom asked to use my pencil eyeliner & the angel in me GAVE IT TO HER!!! Anyways I went straight to Long's after and got another pencil because I am definitely not taking any risks in catching pinkeye. I love this pencil, its by L'oreal: Liquid Eye pencil. It's the blackest & smoothest pencil I've ever owned. It's also said to be the dupe for MAC's Smolder Eye Kohl: (Its on sale now@ Long's Kaneohe)
