ULTA Haul

Hey everyone! :)

Recently I went to ULTA to get my hair done!  I'll be posting before and after pictures, from blonde to dark and then after my most recent glaze! But right now I'm going to share what I bought! :)

First thing I bought was this makeup bag, I'm not sure if you fellow rewards members or receivers of the ULTA magazine/catalog this was a "free gift" with any purchase over so much, the ULTA in my town, had the "extras" for $10.  So I bought it! here's what's inside!

Everything in the bag:
Brushes; Sponge tip, eyeshadow brush, and contour brush.
Dual Ended Eyeliner; Deep brown and black.
ULTA Legendary Lengths Lengthening Mascara.
ULTA instant Nourish Facial Moisturizer.
ULTA Super Shiny Lip gloss; #18 Stellar
ULTA Blush; Adore.
ULTA lipstick; #218 Good Year For Wine.
The last item which is wrapped up in the pictures is Nail Lacquer "Femme Fatale" I was thinking about giving it away, but it's such a little bottle that it wouldn't even be worth it, I don't know, let me know what you guys think! :)


The final thing I bought was the bareMinerals Flawless Complexion Essentials.

It came with:
Prime Time Foundation Primer
Mineral Veil Finishing Powder
Mini Flawless Application Face Brush
I'm not sure if I'm going to like this, I didn't like the fact that I paid $15 for something so small, the Mineral Veil Finishing Powder is literally so small. There isn't hardly anything in there. We'll see how well I like it, it's my first bareMinerals purchase EVER, so I hope I like it!! :)

Also, I'm thinking of switching to Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation, if any of you know a better one please leave it in the comments below!

A lot of news!! :)

Okay, so I have a few things to talk about! Stick around through my beauty part and we'll get to the good stuff :)

So on the acne note, I'm trying out fish oil! It's supposed to help out with eye and brain development and acne, I'll give more info about it when I review how well it's worked.
Now.. The good stuff! I've been looking into "Little Black Bag" and for those of you who don't know what it is, it's basically a monthly subscription for accessories, you take a quiz when you sign up, just about your style so they know what to place in your gallery. They have a lot of designers like BCBG, Betsy Johnson, D&G and many more! You pay $50 monthly, but you can skip months, or you can just get one box for I believe $60. You pick your first item and you get two others after you pay chosen by a stylist, you can also trade items, my friend had asked me "well how do you know they aren't trading fake designer items" well, the cool part is the items don't get shipped to you for I believe 7 days, so you have that amount of time between purchasing the item and having it shipped to you to trade as many times as you can. I am by far no expert on this site, so I suggest you go check out their site! It really is something awesome! Anyways I was thinking if I decide to go to ahead and at least get one box, I wanna do a give away or maybe wait for Christmas and do like a "stocking" or something cute I haven't decided. Now if you have made it to the end of this, tell me something you want me to give away, I've thought about maybe my an urban decay shadow, or something I haven't came up with something affordable. Anyways if you think a give away is a good idea leave a comment!

Sephora Haul!

So, normally I shop at ULTA, but I was in JC Penny's today and was like "Hmm.. haven't gone in Sephora in a long time!" So I walked in and was just browsing, btw it's story time, the worker walked up to me and we started talking and I mentioned how I want the Urban Decay Vice Palette, but it doesn't come out till next week, she got in a drawer and was like we can't sell it yet, but look! OMG if you think the colors are amazing or even think "ew, those are ugly" when you see it in a youtube video or on urbandecay.com you will LOVE it, I was iffy about it, but when she pulled it out, HOLY SMOKES I WAS AMAZED! But I also LOOOVE Urban Decay, no joke, hands down, it's my favorite high end brand.  No I'm not getting paid to tell you how much I love Urban Decay or how awesome the new palette looks, I just love it that much! Now all that aside I'm showing whats in my Sephora bag.  I only bought one thing, but ayeeee it's my birthday month so I got a free gift.... Say whaaaaaa? :)

Here we go!! :)

 What's in there?! 

 Why the Urban Decay Blackout eye shadow of course! 

 And a birthday gift! Sugar kisses mini lip duo. 

We'll see how much I like this! 

Thanks for reading!

ToothPaste as a Whaat?

In my last blog I posted about how toothpaste can be used as a spot treatment, and here I am to inform you about it!

Before we get started, I want to put a disclaimer out there and a warning! This is a spot treatment, NOT a mask, do NOT put it all over your face, it will become like a very bad sun burn! Now, you're supposed to only leave it on for about 5 minutes, I leave mine on for at least an hour, sometimes I even sleep with it on! If you fall asleep with toothpaste on your face you're going to get toothpaste on your pillow, so don't get mad at me when you wake up with it in your hair or all over your pillow. :) Also, this is not the most effective way, when I wash it off I use a real spot treatment after! Anyways lets get to the pictures!

What will you need?!

Toothpaste! 

I use Colgate Total, and no they aren't paying me. You can use any kind of toothpaste, really. & No, that is not a wedding ring.

A wash cloth! 

And of course a face! 

I accidentally deleted my picture of the toothpaste on my face, so I had to find one on google.

Doesn't she look happy?

Alright! Now wait til you fell like it's been there long enough, 5 minutes is plenty, you can always go back tomorrow and do it again! I do this until the redness and swelling has gone down! 

Warning: you are going to look weird if you walk around with toothpaste on your face!

Take a wet wash cloth and remove the toothpaste, put a spot treatment on it (one you can just rub in and leave) and you're done! 

Adios!

Beauty, Did You Knows!

Hey! I'm going to start this new thing called "Beauty, Did You Knows!" Basically, it's where I tell you beauty facts, or give you beauty tips to help you, and I'm thinking I'll try to do one every month! Let me know if you like them! 

#1.  Did you know, if you don't get the roots of your hair completely dry they could stay "damp" or "wet" for at least a week! And you wouldn't even know! This tip is courtesy of my hair stylist! This goes for the thicker hair!

#2. Did you know, putting tooth paste on an on coming zit it helps stop it.  I'm going to post a blog about this, no worries, it should be up within the hour! :)

#3. Did you know, dying your hair out of a box is not good for your hair! I use to do it, when I had my blonde hair, I went dark though! YAYY! I totally suggest going to a salon, I went to ULTA for mine! (and no they are not paying me to tell you this!) I'll do a before and after of my hair and explain what they did! :)

#4. Did you know, biting your nails can give you worms...yes, worms...They are called pinworms, they are passed from person to person by eating the eggs transmitted from fingernails, clothing or bedding, contaminated food, and other objects! EW!!! and watch out for human and animal roundworms too! You can get them the same way! I just got extremely grossed out! 

#5. Did you know, your hair dye can kill you?! It has an ingredient called PPD!  I'm going to post my "speech" on it, if I can find it otherwise I will inform you more on this topic! 

That's all for the Did you knows of tonight! 

Loads of love!

Would you rather beauty tag!

Howdy, howdy fellow bloggers/blog readers!
So, I wanted to try something a bit different and do a beauty tag! I know these are normally on youtube, but who's to say they can't be on a blog?
I'm going to post the questions at the end so you don't have to erase my answers if you want to do this!

#1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up, or nice hair and no make-up?
Messy hair and make-up I don't know if I'd do "nice" make-up I'd just do my normal make-up.  

#2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
Well, I would never shave my eyebrows, "ain't no way, ain't no how!" haha! But then again I don't want eyelashes to fall out! I love them too much! But I think, I would have to go with eyelashes...especially if they can grow back, or I can just wear fakes I suppose! 

#3. Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
Well, I'm not a big MAC fan, so I'd go with Sephora.  (even though I don't shop there anymore!)

#4. Would you rather wear the lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
bahahah! Oh my lanta! Definitely the 80's perm! I can't pull off the gloss and liner look!

#5. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
Oh! That's a tough one.. Can I choose neither? haha kidding! hmm.. I think I would rather go out with the obvious foundation.. I don't wear blush anyways.

#6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
MC Hammer pants all the way baby! haha No biker shorts for this girl!

#7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
Really weird tan lines that can't be covered! That way it's a natural tan and not an Oompa Loopma tan! Plus I get weird tan lines every summer, whats the diff?! :P

#8. Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?
Bad hair color... only because it can always be changed and it washes out! 

#9. Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?
Probably YouTube, I only get on there when someone posts a video anyways, and I tweet almost everyday! 

#10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
WHAT?!?! hmm.. Mascara, I don't like using my fingers to put eye shadow on, and my lashes are already long and dark enough so I really don't need mascara, it's just here for the extra oomph! 

I know I ramble so I hope ya'll liked my answers and if you do this comment with the link below!!! Even if it's a YouTube video!!  

Here's the questions!

#1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up, or nice hair and no make-up?
#2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
#3. Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
#4. Would you rather wear the lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?\
#5. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
#6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
#7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
#8. Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?
