My Favorite Liquid Eyeliner !

Here lately, I've been doing winged eyeliner daily. I also take selfies while wearing this look & get a lot of comments on Instagram telling me it looks really good and asking what kind I use. Welp, here it is:

 Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner

I've only tried out a handful of liquid liners to be honest, but out of the ones I've tried - I love this one. I actually just love this one in general that I keep repurchasing it! It's anywhere from $6-8 I believe depending on where you purchase it at. The cheapest probably being Wal-Mart. It has a felt tip which I love. I hate the liners that have the crappy brushes - they are terrible to use in my opinion. This one however is very easy to apply.

Yay selfies! :D Haha I wanted to show you some pictures of me wearing the actual product. I personally love this liner & would recommend it! If you have any favorite liners, let me know!

Late March 2012 Favorites!

Sorry this is in the middle of April.. I've just kind of lost interest in doing makeup at the moment. :/ Haha. I've been obsessed with retro games lately! But I'm starting to do more makeup related things as well. This weekend i'm doing a girls makeup for prom & will post about that later on.

Anywayy -- here are my March favorites!

 Mostly Elf items (go figure) -- one Maybelline favorite though! :)

 Elf Spring Eyeshadow Collection?

I guess that's what it's called. I think these are limited edition - so get it while you can! I really enjoy using this palette. It's really pretty -- plus, it's only $3! So why not? :) I picked mine up at my local Target.

 Elf Brightening Quad in Day 2 Night

I really really like this quad. These are only $1 each -- but they are really pigmented. I use my Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion underneath these, so i'm uncertain of how well they are on their own -- but with a primer, these are great! I have lots of these quads - but this one is my favorite ;)

 Elf Studio Blush in Tickled Pink

Of course I have an Elf blush in my favorites! I do every month. I'm not sure if I stated this in any of my other blog posts -- but I own every color (currently) of the studio elf blushes. I just picked this one up in my last Elf order - and I love it! This is a very light pink. It kind of reminds me of Dandelion by Benefit. Really nice soft color. This product is $3.00.

Elf Cover Everything Concealer & Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

This Elf concealer is new - they added it to their essential line - which is suppose to be their $1 line -- but this product is $2. But it's worth it. I really like this color. Online -- the color says it is called 'Corrective Yellow' -- but on the back it says it's 'Fair'? Haha - so if you plan on ordering this online -- it's called Corrective Yellow. I use this for my dark undereye circles & to cover up any pimples if I have some.

I really really really like this Maybelline concealer! I really never use liquid concealers because they never seem to cover my undereye circles like they should. But this one works perfectly. It actually covers my dark circles - and I can tell a difference! My undereye circles are lighter since I've been using this stuff. I don't know exactly how much this product is - my boyfriend got it for me. But it's around $7-8 from Walmart.

That's all my favorites for March! I didn't really have too many favorites -- like I stated before, I haven't really cared about makeup here lately. But hopefully that will change & i'll get back into my makeup stuff again! Hope you enjoyed ;)

February Favorites!

I didn't have too many favorites this month - and a couple of the ones that I do have are rather odd.

Let's get started! :D

Wet N Wild Products Galore!

Okay, this month I've been totally in love with Wet N Wild for some reason?! I've already done swatches and a FOTD with the eyeshadows and lipsticks - you can see it here:

http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2012/02/fotd-wet-n-wild-crazy.html

I have also been using this Mega Glo as a highlighter! It's really pretty :D Plus only $3.99!

I really really love the Wet N Wild Megalast Lipsticks! They're only $1.99 and work & last great! My favorite drugstore lipsticks by far.

Mac Matte Bronze Bronzer

I got this at the end of the year for my kit - and I've actually been using it quite a lot for myself :P

I really like to use this for contouring because it doesn't have any glitter or shimmer what-so-ever. Just completely matte. LOVE this! But it's rather pricey at $23 :/

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner

I purchased this like last May/June? and I STILL have this same tube! It hasn't dried out or anything. I love this liquid liner. Works great & doesn't flake! << hehe, that kinda rhymed :P

Elf Wet Gloss Eyebrow & Mascara Gel?

I can't remember the exact name of the product - but it's from their essential $1 line. I use this to keep my eyebrow hairs in place since I have some pretty crazy eyebrows. I don't use it for mascara though - not quite sure why you would? But whatever! :)

China Glaze Nail Polish in Blonde Bombshell
I know, I don't have a picture of it individually on this post -- but here's what it looks like:
http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2012/02/drugstore-haul-lighter-hair.html
It's really pretty & just straight up glitter. You don't even have to wear a nail polish under it!
The only thing I hate is that it takes FOREVER to get off your freaking nails.

& Lastly...

These awesome dental floss stick thingys! 

I got these from the Dollar Tree for $1 so it's not a certain brand I prefer or anything. I am just very lazy when it comes to flossing my teeth - which I know is kinda gross - but I am. So now that I have been carrying these little handy tools in my purse this past month - I've been flossing like everyday! So much more convenient for me :P Haha

And as one of my previous entries states (http://stfulaurenpack.blogspot.com/2012/02/would-you-like-spot-of-tea.html) -- I am into drinking cups of tea ;)

I really like these fruity ones. The Wild Berry & Raspberry ones are my favorite! Yummy!

That's all for me this month! :)

Christmas Beauty Wishlist!

I'm bored, and couldn't really think of anything else to blog about - so making wishlists are fun! I decided to do a beauty one of things I would like for Christmas :)

Urban Decay Naked Palette -

Everyone and their mother already have this palette - I do not. :) I actually mainly want this for my kit to have if I do weddings in the future -- but I want to practice a few looks on myself as well! And yes, I know there is a Naked 2 now -- but I am NOT even going to remotely ask for that one. Haha, it probably won't even stay in stock for longer than a day. So maybe I'll ask for that next Christmas :P

Mac Vanilla Pigment -

I want this for my kit as well :P I have heard a lot about this pigment - and I think it'd not only look nice as an eyeshadow - but as a highlight for your browbone as well as your cheeks & cupid's bow!

Dior Eyebrow Enhancer -

I don't use eyebrow pencils to fill in my eyebrows -- but I want this to use to define my eyebrows. Which means I want to use it underneath the middle - end of my eyebrows (if that makes sense?). It will make your eyebrow more define and neat (if you will). Plus, the good thing about this - they only have one shade - and it's universal! Woohoo! Great item for a kit as well ;)

Fairy Drops Mascara -

I'm all about good mascara. As you know, I absolutely LOVE my Tarina Tarantino mascara. But I'm wanting to branch out a bit and try other mascaras. I have just recently tried the Lancome Doll Lashes - and it works good - but I like the Tarina kind better. Plus the Lancome one smells floraly & aggravates my eyeballs :P

Anywayyy - getting off topic -- 

I have heard this has fiber things in it that make your lashes appear longer & also has something it in to make them curl -- sorry I don't know actual terms of things I am speaking of. I guess I could research a bit more about products before randomly typing like I know things about them :P Haha.

Mac Iridescent Powder in Silver Dusk -

I have been wanting this powder for awhile now. It's like a loose powder that has shimmers of silver in it - and I think it'd look nice on my pale skin :)

Benefit Cream Shadow in Busy Signal -

I recently watched 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' & I really liked Emma Stone's eyeshadow in a part of that movie. It was just a dark brown color -- and cream eyeshadows/paint pots are the easiest to use for getting ready in a jiffy. You can just use your finger & swipe them on & it looks nice. I really like this color!

Clinique Moisturizing Gel -

I want this so I can use it as a moisturizer & primer all in one. I use to NEVER ever use moisturizers - but I do have dry spots on my face in the wintertime -- between my eyebrows, some spots on my cheeks, & forehead. So I use the Olay UV moisturizer for Normal skin at the moment in just those spots. I hate lotion-y feeling things. I don't like lotion at all  -- much less on my face. So I just get those dry spots & that's it! But since this is a gel, I figured I could use this in those spots & feel more comfortable with it than a lotion-y feel. Plus, since it is gel -- it will act as a primer & hold my powder, bronzer, or whatever I may be wearing that day.

Urban Decay's Liquid Liners in Minx & Glitter Liquid Liner in Stage Dive -

I recently watched a Pixiwoo video just about her talking about being a makeup artist & what not. And she had these two liners on her eyelid as a winged liner. It looked amazing! So I must try these for myself. I loved the way they looked.

Mac Creme Color Base in Shell -

I want this product to use as a blush & probably an eyeshadow :)

Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow -

I want this to use as a contour! It's like a gray-tone brown -- which I loooove! I feel like warm browns on my skin as a contour do not look as flattering. Maybe in the summertime when I am a bit darker. But for now, no sir. Yuck. So I'd like to have this :) It'd also be a nice eyeshadow or blush as well.

I also want a few Mac shadows for myself/kit.

Ricepaper, Satin Taupe, Twinks, Print, Cranberry, Embarked, Dazzelight, & Beauty Marked.

I just didn't feel like looking for all those shadows & placing them in a collage because I am lazy.

That's really all the beauty things I'd like - which price wise -- is kind of a lot! Expensive makeuppppp! I like to test out different things as well to know if it's good enough to carry in my kit.

I've been talking a lot about my kit in this entry & I don't even think that I mentioned I was starting my own makeup artist kit? Baha, I'm silly. But I'm going to need it for school because I'll have to do different looks on all different types of people & after school - I want to get a job with a steady income such as Mac, Sephora, Bobbi Brown, etc. I don't think I am going to be picky at which place I'd like to work at. But on the side I want to do freelance for extra $$$$. Weddings, proms, photo shoots, birthday parties, whatever. So that's what I need my kit stuff for :) I already bought both of my actual cases - one is a train case I got off EBay for the actual makeup & the other is like a scrapbooking tote with tons of compartments I am going to use as a 'prep' bag. 

I am done talking about my kit. It has nothing to do with this entry :P I'll do a seperate post once I get more added to it so I can show what I like or what I personally think works best, etc. Just fun interesting things.

Hope you all enjoyed!

Yard Sale, Dollar Store, & Beauty Store Haul

Lotta hauls in one! But I had a busy day today :) I went to about 7 yard sales & got a ton of stuff!

 I got old cd's to listen to in my car (it doesn't have a port for my iPod cable nor does it play burnt cds) for $1 each. Romeo & Juliet soundtrack just happened to be one I picked up. It's one of my favorite movies :)

 I found this awesome vintage ghost book! I mainly got it for Josh because he loves ghost hunting & such. But it talks about 'the other side' and different crazy things like that. $1!

 I loooooove these super mod yellow, orange, and brown dishes! I got both of the candle holders for $.50 & the big tray was $.75! I got the candles & pebbles from the Dollar Tree -- I'm going to put prettier pebbles that are brown and crystal when I get extra money. And for now - until I get something to put into my tray I'm using it as a candy storage.

 I got 2 cute saucers & matching tea  cups! They're a baby pink color. I got all of these for $3. I plan on writing on them like you see on a lot of Tumblr pictures that say 'Bitch' or 'Slut' in a pretty cursive writing -- they also sell them on Etsy. But I think I'm going to write either 'Babycakes' or 'Sweetheart' on one & draw a mustache on the other :)

 I got the dish on the left at a yard sale for $.50! It's prettier in person - it's actually a clear and black tint but on the outside has a sheer silver finish. I got the other jar & pebbles at Dollar Tree to use to store my makeup brushes. I can be pretty crafty huh?! :)

 I got these awesome bird cut outs for $.25! They were brand new in the packaging. I plan on getting those wooden oval & square wall hangings you use for crafts at Michaels & painting them & gluing these bad boys on there. Most of you probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about -- but I can see things clearly in my head & it will look very cute & mod :) I'm really into mod style stuff here lately.

Aren't these cutest Salt & Pepper shakers?! Ahh, I love them! I will most likely re-sell them in my shop though. But I thought these were adorable & I couldn't pass them up.

 Mickey Mouse Earrings! Woowoo! Still brand new & they're clip ons. I got these to re-sell in mah shop ;)

& lastly for yard sales -- I got these Steve Madden booties for myself :) I got these for only $2! They're a little worn, but I don't mind.

Next up - I went to Sally Beauty Supply just because it was right near the Dollar Tree.

 I got some China Glaze nail polishes on sale. I've never used this brand, but I know it's quite expensive. I've known about it - but my friend at work last night had some on her nails & it looked nice - so I got me a few that were on sale. I got these for $1.99 each! The pale yellow one doesn't have the sticker on it -- so I'm unsure of the name. The black sparkly one is called 'Haunting' and the brown is called 'In Awe of Amber' or something around those lines :P Haha, I don't have them right beside me so I'm not completely sure.

I have also been wanting to get some of these plastic clips for when I curl my hair. I got a pack of 6 of these for $2.99.

Lastlyyyyyy ---

 I got my 88 warm palette in the mail!

Yay! This is the same exact palette that Coastal Scents & Bh Cosmetics has. I just got the Ebay one because it was wayyyy cheaper. I'm about 99% sure all the other companies do is purchase them in bulk & slap their label on them. But I don't think they claim to make them - so they can do whatever they'd like. I'd just rather get them for a cheaper price :) This one on Coastal Scents is $24.95 + shipping. I got mine for $10.76 with FREE shipping! Yayyyyy. I also got the original 88 palette & 'eclipse' concealer palette -- but those are from a different seller & he's from Hong Kong - so it'll be about another week or two till I get those.

I'm making this blog wayy longer than it's suppose to be. Sorry! Hope you enjoyed loves!
