Ok the next thing is

Buxom Dolly's opening act lip set!

It comes with 2 lip creams and 4 lip polishes. These are the first buxom products I've tried and I really like them so far!

They're beautiful. ❤️

Now, last but not least..

The NARS one night stand palette!

My first nars palette!

I've always wanted to try their blushes.

When I saw this palette I knew I had to have it since it came with blushes, a bronzer, and a highlight.

I'm not sure of all the names of the blushes or the highlight. But I know the bronzer is Laguna and some of the blushes include orgasm and deep throat.

It's beautiful! And I love it already!

Ok, that's it for my sephora haul!

I cheated.

On my diet that is.
This past weekend I had a couple of cheat meals.
It wasn't that bad though and it was only on Friday and Saturday.
I got back to my regular "diet" and worked out yesterday, and of course I'm continuing with it today.
I'm not giving up!. My mom did say I look skinnier, so that's a plus lol.
I haven't worked out today yet but I'm going to in the next hour or so.
I only do 30 minutes of exercise for now but I do it daily which is good for now.
Anyways, I just wanted to post a quick update on here since I haven't blogged in a few days.
I'll try to do another post again soon!.

Enjoy your week!

And here is a picture of all the makeup products I used I will list the products below!

 

Products used list:

Covergirl outlast stay fabulous 3-in-1 foundation

Maybelline instant age rewind concealer

Maybelline dream matte powder

L'oreal infallible eyeshadow in bronzed taupe.

L'oreal smoldering eye pencil in black.

NYC high definition liquid eyeliner in black.

And I believe that's it!. 

Also, a quick update on my "diet".

I'm still sticking to it, today was day 3. 

I've also been working out, only 3 times a week.

I know it's only been 3 days but I feel like I can already see a small difference, maybe I'm crazy lol.

Anyways that's it for now!

Thanks for reading :)

Getting back in shape.

That's right. Starting today I'm planning on getting back in shape.
I know it might be difficult to start now since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
I know theirs going to be A LOT of food to try and avoid lol. I'm ok with that.

I decided I'd start now since it's Monday which means it's a new week. So, why not?
If I put it off now I might wait till next year to make it a "New Years resolution"
Which I rather not because, to be honest, it's always my "New Years resolution" lol.

Not to mention the longer I wait the more weight I put on.
I'm definitely starting today!. Wish me luck lol.

I decided to take a "Before" picture. However I won't be posting it here lol.
At least not yet, maybe if I reach my results or once I start making progress that might change.
That way I can post a "Before" and "after".
So, what's my goal?
I want to lose around 10-20lbs.
It's not that much. I know it's definitely possible.
I used to be overweight when I was in middle school.
I've always been afraid to go back to that weight.
I've definitely picked up some really bad eating habits that have got to stop now.
Especially if I want to avoid going back to being overweight.

I know I can do this. Anyone can do it if they really set their minds to it.
And of course, put in the work.
I know it might not be easy and it will take some sacrifice, but it's possible.

So, time to get my head in the game.
The best part will be the end results when I notice the weight loss and clothes fitting differently.
I'm excited for that part, and for the part where people notice you've lost weight.

Alright well,
here we go.. Day 1!.

Wish me luck! :)

October favorites.

I know I'm a little late but I wanted to post my October favorites.
I won't be doing a video for my Youtube channel since it's only a few things.
That's why I decided to do a blog post instead :)

Alright let's get started.

My first favorite from last month is..

1. The CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation. (pic below)

 

I bought this foundation before and I liked it the first time but for some reason I stopped using it.

I also lost it somehow and decided to try out other drugstore foundations.

That didn't go so well and they ended up breaking me out.

So, last month I decided to purchase this foundation again.

Of course, I loved it all over again. It leaves a matte finish on my face, which I like.

It also hasn't made me break out, so I've been using it since!.

And like I mentioned it's a drugstore foundation so it's inexpensive and easy to find.

2. The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer for dark circles (pic below)

 

I have been using this concealer for more than a month actually, and I keep repurchasing it!.

I absolutely love it. It does a great job at covering my dark circles as well as some blemishes.

I also like how it brightens up my face since I get it in a lighter shade.

It's also pretty long lasting and doesn't crease too much.

I will definitely keep using this and repurchase again. 

3. The NYC high definition liquid eyeliner. (pic below)

 

This is a product that I just started using last month but I purchased a long time ago.

I heard it was good from other beauty gurus and decided to buy it.

For some reason I never really used it though.

I always reached for my same liquid eyeliner. But last month I decided to give it a chance.

I'm really glad I did because it really is a great liquid eyeliner.

It comes out pretty dark and the tip is not too thick but not to thin and I find it easy to apply.

Not to mention it's really inexpensive. I believe I got mine for $3 or $4.

It's definitely a must try.

4. The L'oreal colour riche Lalaque in "never laque-ing". (pic below)

 

When I first heard about these lipsticks/lip pencils I was super excited to try them.

Unfortunately they were always sold out at my drugstore's.

Then I finally came across them and picked them up.

I tried them the next day and I absolutely loved them!

I've been using all of them but my most used is "never laque-ing" pictured above.

It's a nice pinky nude color, perfect for every day use.

They're smooth, not drying, glossy, and inexpensive!

Definitely look for these and give them a try. 

5. "The Magic" book by Rhonda Byrne. (pic below)

 

This is actually my last favorite for last month.

It's a book I've been reading and absolutely loving.

I'm sure many of you have heard of "The Secret" book by the same author.

This is another one of her books called "The Magic".

This book has helped me become a much more positive person.

It's helped me see the good in things instead of the bad.

It's also helped me on my tough days by making me remind myself of the good instead of the bad.

I suggest you read it if you're trying to bring more positivity into your life.

Or if you're trying to become a positive person.

It really does help.

And that's it for my favorites of the month of October!.

Like I said there weren't many last month.

Most of my favorites stay the same since I don't buy that many new things lol.

I hope you all have a good weekend! 

I will post again soon!

You can follow me on twitter and or instagram if you'd like!

Kim Kardashian inspired makeup & hair.

Hey everyone!

I finally got a chance to edit and upload my "Kim Kardashian inspired makeup & hair" video.

Here it is! please thumbs up and subscribe if you like :)
Oh and here is the link to my Youtube channel : www.youtube.com/connieswonderland

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday :)

I can't believe it's November already.

I know that it's already the 4th but it just barely hit me lol.
Anyways, since I'm still up I figured I'd post a quick blog post before finally calling it a night.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I updated my blog tonight.

I decided to try out a different look.
I'm a total newbie to layouts, codes, etc. 

So it's nothing really fancy, just something simple, for now.
If later on I figure out how to do something a little more snazzy I might change it again.

OK, since it's Monday I decided I'm posting my "MCM" here.
Otherwise known as "Man Crush Monday" lol.
I'm not sure if any of you have seen it going around on twitter, instagram, etc.
Basically you post a picture of a crush, mine are usually celebrities, while other people post their significant other every time lol. Alright, here is mine! *Drumroll*


Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. 

 

And this is my reaction every time I see a picture of him or a movie he's starring in.

 

Seriously. lol.

I remember back when I used to watch WWF or what it's called now WWE.

"The Rock" was always one of my favorites.

I even had a HUGE and I mean HUGE poster of him on my bedroom door.

Yes, I was a dork, and I really liked to watch wrestling lol.

Anywho, I don't really watch wrestling anymore, except every now and then.

However I still watch The Rock in most movies he's in. And I must say, he's gotten even hotter!. 

And of course my crush on him has gotten even bigger. 

So there you have it.

My "MCM" Man Crush Monday!.

I hope you enjoyed this random post and a little bit of eye candy.

Drugstore makeup goodies!

I went to Walgreens the other day and I picked up a few goodies!.

Here is a picture of everything I bought..

I bought some eyelashes for Halloween. These are by Ardell and they're supposed to be inspired

by the Evil Queen from Snow White!. They definitely caught my eyes. 

I also bought another pair of false eyelashes, I'm just obsessed with falsies! lol.

I also bought a lip liner pencil from Jordana. I don't remember the name of the color

but it's like a deep purple.

The last things I bought are the L'oreal colour riche "LaLaque" lipsticks.

And I definitely saved the best for last.

I have tried all 3 L'oreal lipsticks and I absolutely LOVE them!. 

Which is why I decided to post pictures of lip swatches of all 3 of them.

The first one I bought is number 411 - Laque-ing.

The color is a nude/pink color, no gloss added or needed!

Definitely an every day color! :)

The next one is number 412 - Laquer-ized

This color is beautiful! it's a light purple/fuchsia color.

 

OK and the last one is number 413 - Laque-onic.

Of course I had to get a red color, I love red lips!.

 

Like I said, no gloss needed!.

I absolutely LOVE these and I think the colors are beautiful!.

I definitely recommend you girls try these out!

I found mine at Walgreens but I know you can also get them at Target, and CVS too I believe.

I'm not sure if they're available at Walmart or not.

As far as price goes they cost me 7.99 each. I'm not sure if the price is the same at all drugstores.

I hope you girls get the chance to try these out and like them as much as I do!

That's all I have to share with you today!

xo.

Kim Kardashian inspired look.

I saw this picture of Kim Kardashian the other day and I absolutely loved her hair and makeup!.

So, I decided I'd try to recreate the look. Obviously it's not identical and I know I don't look like Kim but I thought it would be fun to do it.

Here is the picture of Kim K.

 

She's so gorgeous <3

And here are the pictures of my finished look.

I tried to curl my hair like her too. 

 

LIST OF PRODUCTS I USED:

1. Maybelline Fit Me foundation stick - 220

2. NYX HD concealer - Beige

3. WetNWild bronzer/highlight quad.

4.NYX blush - peach

5. Naked palette - Half baked and Smog

6. Maybelline stiletto liquid eyeliner

7. NYX jumbo pencil - Milk

8. MAC false eyeslashes - #35

9. L'oreal infallible lip color - Beyonce red.

And that's pretty much it for the products I used for my makeup. 

As for my hair it was pretty simple. I used a curling wand and curled my hair inward.

When I got to my bangs I curled them outward. And that was it.

I will be having a video on my channel on this look this weekend!

If you'd like to see it please subscribe to my Youtube channel :)

My new obsession.

Ok, so about a month or so ago I decided to get myself a gift as an early birthday present. My birthday was last month, Sept 9th. I had been thinking about buying some Lime Crime lipsticks for a while, and I finally did, now I'm obsessed!. I absolutely LOVE these lipsticks. I decided to just get two since it was my first time trying them out. Now I really want more!.

The two colors I got were a pretty nude, peachy color. "Babette"
And a pretty bright pink color "Geradium".

I decided to go with those colors because they're my "safe" colors.
I usually always like pink colored lipsticks and peach/nude lipsticks as well.

And I'm glad I chose those colors because they're GORGEOUS! They have quickly become two of my favorite lipsticks in my collection.

Not to mention the packaging is adorable!
Unicorns, sparkle, and the words lime crime on it, very cute. 

Here are some pictures of the lipsticks.
*Left "Geradium" Right "Babette"*

 

 

 

 I also did a few lip swatches. They're not the best pictures though since they were taken with my phone but, something is better than nothing. ^_^

Here is a lip swatch of "Geradium" a pretty bright pink.

 

 

And here is a lip swatch of "Babette" a beautiful nude/peach color.

Again, I wish I had taken better pictures, maybe I will soon.

Anyways, I've been obsessed with these lipsticks and I'm definitely planning on getting more soon. Maybe even trying out some more of their products!

I hear some of their lip glosses are good too. We'll see.

That's it for this blog post! 

If you want to see more of my favorites on the month of september check out my video below!

"September Favorites 2013"

My favorite drugstore lipsticks!

Hello lovelies!
I decided to post some of my favorite drugstore lipsticks today.
These are not all of them but they're my most recent favorites.

Alright so lets start off with the first one.

1. Maybelline ColorSensational "Whispers" in the color "Oh la lilac". I really like the color its a pale purple/pink. Its very moisturizing and glides on! Here are some pictures!

2. Maybelline ColorSensational in the color "Pink Please". This is definitely one of my go to nude/pink color. Again, it doesn't feel too drying on the lips!.

3. Maybelline ColorSensational "Vivids" in the color "Pink Pop" This is a bright "barbie" pink color. I hear some people say its a dupe for MAC's St. Germain. I dont have that MAC lipstick so I wouldn't know. I really do love this color though, it definitely "pops"

4. Maybelline ColorSensational in the color "Fuchsia Fever" This is a pretty bright fuchsia pink color. Just like the name says. I always reach for this color when I want something bright!

5. Maybelline ColorSensational "Vivids" in the color "Brazen Berry" This is a recent addition to my lipstick collection. I think it'll be a great color to wear now that summer is over. It's not too dark but still looks purple without being too dramatic.

6. Kate by Rimmel London. Number 09. Last but not least, I had to include a red lipstick! And this have been my current favorite. Its a nice deep red color, smells good, and glides on.

Ok, we've come to the end of my post! I didn't realize almost all of my favorite lipsticks were Maybelline lipsticks. I guess their packaging just catches my eyes and I end up loving the colors!
Not to mention all these lipsticks are inexpensive which I love. I hope to be able to post again soon! Hope you all enjoyed my first post! :)
