quiet work day

Hello all.
Thankfully (for my wallet) I'm pretty much all shopped-out but I snagged some fun stuff this month.
I've been really into using my fingers to apply makeup lately so I've been on a cream-rampage with cream blush, cream foundation, and cream eyeshadow. It just looks so much more natural and effortless, not to mention the heat from your fingers make creamy products just melt into your skinsicles.

As usual, I miss my cat, Uzi.  I'm really bummed out I wasn't able to take him with me for the summer but I'll see him soon enough!

I'll probably write some more buhh-sheet in a few hours so laterrrr.

summer time

My boyfriend is tired of hearing me talk about makeup so I'm just gonna get it all out here.

I recently got a Kat Von D lip gloss in Underage Red and damn, is it a hussy color!
It's such a pretty crimson gloss and it's pretty pigmented.  It's not opaque but it's buildable.
I love it so much I got a backup!  On sale at Sephora for $9!
SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO pretty!!!

I might do a haul/review post if I can really muster the effort but we'll see.

UPDATE on Korres tinted moisturizer

I really liked the Korres Watermelon Tinted Moisturizer... when I first got it.  Now, I don't know what it is but it's awful! (I did a review post on this product.) 

Pros-

spf 30 (good skin protection but I hear spf might give you cancer?)

good coverage for a tinted moisturizer

natural ingredients, paraben-free

long lasting

Cons-

IT GUMS UP ON MY FACE

I'm not doing anything different application-wise but it tends to gum up or ball up if you spread it on top of any parts of your face that already have it on.  I usually have to save it by spritzing MAC Fix + on it and working it really carefully but of course, this means more time for makeup application in the morning.

This shit sucks.

girl mustache

Everyone's got a mustache.  Some people have darker mustache hairs than others.  Some people don't even want a mustach and wax it all off!  My mustache is very thin, like dark peach fuzz.  I didn't want to wax it so I just bleach it!  I'd rather have a blonde mustache that is virtually invisible than have stubble.  I haven't tried many bleaches but I hear most of them are crap.

  This is what I use.  Yeah, it's got totally boring packaging and there's nothing fancy (or complicated) about it but this is THE BEST.  It works best on fine hairs and doesn't burn.  Sometimes I swear I can feel it working...like little soda bubbles on my lip but it's not itchy or burn-y at all.  Everything you need to bleach your mustache is in this little box!  It's super cheap (around $5) and it works like a dream.  I've never had any problem with it but some people with darker skin tones may experience temporary skin lightening where they applied the bleach.  Sounds scary but it didn't happen to me.


I love this shit.

IT'S BARBIE, BITCH.

This is a Barbie/ Nicki Minaj look so of course bright pink lips and cheeks!

I love Nicki Minaj and her whole "Barbie" style!

The eye look is a really soft almost cut crease with the purple and pink.

fotd oct 15

This is a look I did yesterday, it's an almost a cut crease look using all matte colors.  I only used 3 eyeshadows on my eyes (MAC Copperplate, MAC Carbon, and Revlon Matte eyeshadow in 02Sorbet).  The rest of the makeup is subtle, just a little bit of bronzer and a peachy blush with lip balm.

excuse the wet hair!
