Wet n Wild Matte Lipsticks

My all time favorite drugstore matte lipsticks at a GREAT, AFFORDABLE price! :)

Here are the shades I have collected over time. There are a lot of different colors to choose from ranging from darks, plums, reds, pinks, and nudes.

You can get these at your local drugstore like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and WalMart for a great price at just $1.99 each. Sometimes if you are lucky enough, you can even get them on sale which drugstores frequently have sales like 40-50% off , Buy one get one Free and even coupons for $1.00 off!

About the product:

There is no smell
The texture is smooth, not silky or super moisturizing but it gives a good amount of moisture to the lips
Very pigmented, it shows very well on the lips (swatches of the colors below)
Matte finish, not shimmery

Love,

Flower Blossom Makeup Inspired

Ready for Spring? Here's a Flower Blossom Makeup Inspired look that I came up with a few years ago when I started getting into creative, theatrical makeup. I actually created this look for a contest on YouTube that asked for anything Spring Inspired. I actually won the contest and it was the first time I ever won something!:)
I incorporated some of my favorite Spring flowers into this look. I glued the flowers and butterfly onto my face with eyelash adhesive glue.
You guys can also check my YouTube for a tutorial on how I created the makeup look.

Mermaid Inspired Makeup

By the Sea Shore.A makeup look I came up with on a rainy day doing nothing at home. I was inspired by the magical and mystical mermaids. The beautiful shades of blue and the spots of scales on the skin of a mermaid. I felt so mystical doing this makeup look. The enchanted mermaid has inspired be to create future looks inspired by the beautiful fairy tale creatures under the deep ocean. Hopefully you guys will stay tune to enjoy future make inspirations from these mystical creatures.

Macadamia Natural Oil

BEST for the HAIR.
Macadamia Natural Oil.

So today I had received my most wanted item which is the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque. I saw so many great reviews on it and really wanted to try out for myself. It was a little bit pricey as for me, but I was willing to get it and give it a try. I searched through the web and the cheapest price I found was on amazon.com. Macadamia not just only have the deep repair masque but also shampoo and conditioner plus a lot more items. The Macadamia Deep Repair Masque comes in 2 different sizes (16.9 oz and 8.5 oz) I decided to get 16.9 oz because I truly believe already that I totally would not regret buy this item :)
