Makeup Inspirations | Scenery

Lately, I have been seeing photos and taking photos of things I enjoy or like and have been pairing a beauty item with them. This time, I actually found beautiful scenery photos and tried to create an eye look by using the pictures as inspiration. What inspires you?

Have a great weekend!

First Impressions | IPSY Glam Bag July 2013

This is the first IPSY glam bag that I have ever got. I decided to give it a try because I love trying it now products. I heard they even give you full sized products. If you want to see what came in my July 2013 Glam Bag, please keep reading.

Join me on ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag! You get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Michelle Phan curates the bags! Check it out here: http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-hhh7ffy5jlcovdp (sorry I can't seem to get the link to work, please copy and paste it.)


The BEACH Bag:

• Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai- I have never tried or heard of this brand before. The color that came in the Glam Bag is called Mai Tai, it is an coral-orangey color, more orangey though. I have not tried it yet, so I can't say how well it lasts. Hope I love it! :)

• Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray (Conditioning & Texturizing)- creates beach texture hair without spending a day at the beach. Contains argon oil which helps nourish dry and damaged hair. ***i have not fully used this product to style my hair, but I did spray it, and boy does it smell good.
  
  
  
  
  
• Pouty Pop Crayon by POP Beauty- I got the color fuschia Flirt.  I love the feel of this product. Very nourishing. It also gives a subtle plump to the lips. I would say that this color is a little lighter than most fuschia products I own. But, nonetheless, I really like it. 

• BH Cosmetics California Collection Eyeshadow Sample- This BH Cosmetics makeup palette includes a shade from each of the California Collection palettes: Hollywood, San Francisco, and Malibu.  It contains a shimmery gold, a shimmery/sheen brown, and a matte purple with blue undertones. I cannot wait to play with these!

• Coola Mineral Face SPF 20 Tinted Moisturizer- This sunscreen is hypoallergenic, paraben-free, ultra sheer, anti-aging, and water resistant for 40 minutes. I love this product, it feels great on my face. I just pop some powder and blush over and I am good to go. :)

Thank you so much for visiting! Enjoy your Friday! TGIF.

{Mini} CVS Run | Discounts!

I love CVS, however, it can be a bit more pricey than Target or Walmart. If you sign up for there reward/beauty points, you get money off here and there that can be applied to your purchases. Instead of bringing in a coupon they will send it directly to your rewards card. Therefore, it makes it worth it to go there if you get a discount. :)

So, I am going to share with you what I got and awesome discounts I got as well. Enjoy :)

How I remove HEAVY makeup with ease

I had searched and searched for ways to remove heavy eye makeup, mascara and foundation for a while. I would always go back to my original way which was taught to me by my mom. I do out a twist on it now though aft trying out several ways.

What you will need:

• Approximately 2 tissues (I use Puff's Ultra Soft and Strong)
  
• 2 unscented baby wipes (I use Pampers Sensitive baby wipes)
  
• Ponds cold cream (I use the original formula cold cream)
  
• A makeup filled face :) (You know what they looks like :) 

What I do:

1. Apply Ponds cold cream to eyes and run product in and around gently. (You will see the makeup like melting off).

2. Remove eye makeup with tissues.

3. Get more Ponds cold cream and work it on your lashes to get off mascara.

4. Remove with tissue.

5. Apply Ponds cold cream to entire face; massage.

6. Wipe off with tissues.

7. Apply more cold cream to eyes and over entire face one more time.

8 Remove with baby wipes.

*Note: I have seen this done with Ponds Cold Cream and using straight baby wipes. I feel the wetness from then wipes doesn't pull all the product off right away. The friction from the tissues pulls off more initial product. 

What are your favorite/most effective ways to remove your makeup?

Enjoy your Tuesday!
