December Favorites

Urban Decay De Slick: I find that this doesn't make my face completely matte but it does help. I use this on my T-zone before and after I do my makeup. 

Narciso Rodriguez Perfume: This smells delicious! When I spray this I think of a cold, snowy night and dollops of fresh whip cream....ha! I'm  crazy over this scent!!

CHI Keratin-Leave-in Conditioner: I use this on wet hair and concentrate it on my ends. I love that it detangles my curly hair and keeps my ends hydrated. Careful not to spray too much because it gets heavy and kills the volume in your hair. Well, at least for me it did. 

Weekend Haul

In no particular order here is what I bought :)

Cover Girl clean makeup in Buff Beige-the clean scent and the satin finish are what make me a faithful user.

Urban Decay All Nighter-it's been so hot here in LA, and the last thing I wanna worry about is having my makeup melt off so I added a setting spray to my makeup bag.

Prestige my BIGGEST lashes mascara: the packaging alone sold me :) I love Pink.

Sephora all over shadow brush: I feel that I never have enough shadow brushes so one more wouldn't hurt-especially not at $5.00 I couldn't pass this up.

Physicians Formula youthful wear translucent powder: intended to make you look 10 years younger....I'm not sure about that bUt it does smooth out my complexion.

What did you haul during the week?

Urban Decay Primer Potion-Greed

I finally jumped on the bandwagon!! I just discovered Urban Decay's eye base! I.bought it for $8.97 at Nordstrom Rack and have been wearing it everyday since then :) I got it in Greed (shimmery Gold) because of the shimmery finish it works really well with non matte eyeshadows. The texture is light weight, almost mousse like and dries quickly. It also intensifies the color of the eyeshadows. The applicator is angled and fits around the curves of the eye. The only thing I'm regretting is not buying the original primer potion because at $8.97, you can't pass this up! What's your favorite eye primer?









Swatch

Natural Palette

I bought this palette because I'm a sucker for neutrals I lOVe, love, LOVE neutrals. This palette was $6.50 at forever21 and has 10 eyeshdows. I guess it's a knock off of Urban Decay's Naked palette. I passed on the Naked Palette craze, they're beautiful shades bUt I feel that I didn't need another palette of neutral colors...anyway for the price the color pay off is fair and decent. It comes with 2 matte eyeshdows, and one thats has a finish that's comparable to MAC's lustre eyeshdows. The rest of the eyeshadows are shimmery shades. The palette also comes with an eyeliner pencil in black and a double ended mini brush. Sponge tip and angled brush.

Birthday Gift

Kat Von D. Saint palette, Nars lipstick in Schiap and Urban Decay setting spray and primer duo. If you've never tried Kat Von D's eyeshadow I suggest you head over to Sephora... :) not only are her eyeshadows extremely pigmented, they're super smooth and creamy. They feel like butter! I've yet to try the Urban Decay setting spray...hope it keeps my makeup intact :)

True Romance Eyeshadow palette. Very wearable everyday neutrals.


Schiap-semi-matte, bright Pink no shimmer. It looks great with black winged liner ;)



Bought these bracelets at Charlotte Russe and forever21 earlier today.
