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!

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!
