Bronzer Collection!

WEEE finally I finished all the pictures! =D So anyways....about bronzers! No reason why but to me, they're probably to easiest thing to buy in makeup. Because they're cheap? No/= BUT because you can hardly go wrong with buying the wrong shade or something. Or maybe that just
to me? Hahahaa(;
Oh! And WARNING: Picture Heavy!
I thought that if I was doing a bronzer collection, I might as well do the whole shebang with swatches and all(=
So in total I have 8 bronzers and for the individual shots, I'll go clockwise. Capese? And no, I don't know how to spell that. Hahahaa(;

Avon Smooth Minerals Foundation-Pure Beige
I know what you're thinking: "Um, this girl has no clue what the difference between foundation and bronzer is! Why am I even reading her crazy blog!?" Hahahaa well no, I actually do know what the difference is. It just had happened that I got the wrong shade for foundation in a swap so, I just decided to use it as a bronzer. And not too bad I'd have to say! This "bronzer" has just a hint of sparkles that make my face look a bit skinnier. Which, who wouldn't like that!?(;
Napoleon Perdis-French Riviera Bronzer
Got this in a swap! But
I haven't got to try it yet. If anyone wants a review, let me know?(= Although it looks a tad orange....kinda intimidated?
Stila Sun Bronzing Powder-Shade 2
Pretty much my first bronzer ever! =D Love this, works for my skin tone! Maybe its just clumsy me, but it keeps breaking? Anyways, it was part of a kit, might be discontinued?/=
Cargo Medium Bronzer
New fave bronzer! Has a beautiful sheen NOT shimmer. Which is the best part! Hahahaa Got it for 50% off at Sephora cause they no longer stock it there. But I believe you can find it in Ulta? But its such a big size I doubt I'll run out(;
Cargo Medium Matte Bronzer
Yup! Two cargo bronzers...I could'nt resist(; This one is a bit too light for me in the summer so I'll probably use this to contour in the winter!(=
NYX Mosaic Powder-Latte
I just got this in a swap but it seems a little dirty for my skin tone. Maybe I'll try it again later?(;
N.Y.C. Bronzing Face Powder-Sunny
Cheap stuff! Pretty good if you ask me! It doesn't really have the best pigmentation but it still is a nice color!
E.L.F. Warm Bronzer
Another cheap bronzer! All shimmery and so pretty! This has been in the back of my collection...I've missed you!(;

Any reviews on the bronzers?(;
What's your favorite bronzer?

Well, if there was anyone...Hahaa So anyways, I fixed my bronzer!
Drumroll pleasee(=.....FROM THIS
Look at the mess I made....

I'm back! And quick question?


Finally back from Costa Rica! Miss me much?(;

Okay so I'll start posting again! But before that, quick question time!
Is it okay to combine your shampoos? Is it okay to combine your conditioners?
Because I have all these separate shampoo and conditioner samples and I have a feeling I'm too lazy to go through and open them all every time I take a shower. Hahahaha lazy? Of course. So I was thinking of just combining the shampoos in one bottle and conditioners in one. But is that okay?

Someone help! These samples need a home.(=

OPI: Makes Men Blush

Heheheee 2 posts in a row! I'm proud of myself for not slacking.(= But I should warn my readers out there. I'm leaving for Costa Rica tomorrow, but no worries I'll be back in one week! =D So without any ado, here's the NOTD!

And since I'm volunteering at a hospital every week, I have to make sure my nails are neutral. But it doesn't bother me that much cause I've been digging neutrals(; This nailpolish took 3 coats to achieve the same color of the bottle. First coat is kind of sheer but fret not! It's all good after a couple more coats. There's also a really cool iridescent look about the polish too(=



Quick question: How do you (a fellow blogger) take pictures of your NOTD? Cause my pictures always turn out kind of creepy, with fingers coming out of nowhere. Hahahaa help!

OOTD: Outfit of Yesterday?

Again, my bad. I've been MIA./= But schools out! And I promise to keep posting(;
So today's post is called OOTD but I'm technically lying...it was from yesterday. Hahaha I know, FAIL.(=
It was my friend's suprise birthday party and it was semi-formal. I had no dress to wear so I pulled out this dress I never wore because of the fact it was too short and added a pencil skirt. And WALA! Semi-formal outfit =D

Here's a close up of the minidress/top.

Top: Random boutique. Sorry!

Pencil Skirt: H&M

Sorry no jewerly, I figured that the top had enough detail.

So what do you think? Should I keep doing these kinds of posts? Give me some feedback! (Please) Hahahaa(;

Covergirl Bzzkit!

I know I've been gone for so long, but I just thought I should let you know about the Covergirl Bzzkit I got about a few days ago. Bzzagent is a online site where they send you free samples/coupons to give to friends and family. And Bzzagents as well get free products. The purpose of Bzzagent is the whole word of mouth. And I can assure that I am not getting paid or compensated for doing this review. I understand that there's lots of controversy about the whole issue for other bloggers/youtubers.

Smokey Shadow Blast in Silver Sky
And Shine Blast in Flare!
In most Bzzkits, you receive a letter, product, and a pamphlet about the brand.

Swatches!
(Quick review: Creases without primer, Lovely complementary colors.)
Anyone planning on picking up these Covergirl products?

Burt's Bee Collection


Okay, so I am taking the idea from http://skinniegenes.blogspot.com/. What a great idea! This post is pretty much gonna be a quick review of the Burt's Bee products I have.
Here's the collection!
Garden Tomato Toner: my second buy of this product! Acts like a toner supposed to be, a bit hard to find and kind of pricey. But I'm sticking to this as my toner!

Purifying Gel Cleanser: Okay so I think I should get this out first. Yes I recieved this product for free by Bzzagent and no, this doesn't affect my reviewing at all! So anyways, this is just a basic cleanser. Did nothing for my acne but hey, everyone's skin is different! In my opinion, this cleanser is a bit on the pricey side. But then again all of the Burt's Bee line is pricey.
Beeswax Lip Balm: FAVORITE LIP BALM! Love the minty tingle, waxyness of the balm. I'm sure everyone's heard of this!
Lip Shimmer in Peony: Okay so the blogger that I got this idea from didn't like this product at all. But I would have to disagree. This shade gives me natural shimmer and a hint of color. Out of 2982305982 pictures, this is the swatch that doesn't look to creepy. Hahha You can even see a hint of my braces! /=
Sun Protecting Lip Balm Spf 8: I had big hopes for this lipbalm! Passionfruit with spf 8!? Yes please! But no, this chapstick just has to rain on my parade and gives a white cast on my lips =(
Anyone have anything else to recommend?
