Sephora Haul

Hey,

Today, I went to Sephora. Since I haven't been in a while, I spent a little more than I wanted. I am trying to save my money for a car, but when it comes to Sephora, M.A.C and Lush, I just can't help myself XD

The first item I purchased is the Sephora color bronze palette. It has 8 eyeshadows, 4 lip glosses and a bronzer. This is more of a summer palette. The eyeshadows don't have names so I'll just say the colors. The first is a sparkly peach that I think will go nice with my blue eyes, there's a browney-beige, a sparkly yellow, an amazing green, a sparkly light brown, a matte brown, and a baby blue that I'm not so sure will match my eyes. I will probably never use the bronzer as it is dark and my skin is so pale. Maybe in the summer if I get a killer tan, the bronzer might work. The lip glosses aren't that nice. I mostly bought the palette for the eyeshadows.


The next item I bought is the Sephora natural 7-color palette. It has 6 eyeshadows and a blush. There is a green eyeshadow( Amazon), a turquoise (Cayman), an indigo blue/hint of purple (Baltic), a peach(Sahara), a light brown (Serengeti) and a dark chocolate brown (Andes). The blush is very pretty and called Mojave. I cannot wait to try this one out. *The only thing about this picture is that the colors are a bit off. They are a lot brighter in the picture than in the palette. The Baltic is especially off. It isn't a true blue like in the picture. More indigo/purple.

The next thing I purchased is the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel. I've been wanting to try this gel out for a while but haven't purchased it because I wasn't sure if I was allergic to it or not. I have very sensitive skin and have yet to find a moisturizer or anything that goes on my face that I am not allergic too! So i didn't want to buy a full size in case I was so when I say a mini 50 ml version today, I had to buy it to try it out. Hopefully I will not be allergic to it.

I also purchased the Anastasia clear brow gel. It just a clear liquid in a mascara tube that helps keep the brows in place. All you have to do is brush your brows with the applicator wand and they will stay where they are placed.

The last thing I bought was just for fun; fake eyelashes. It was in the impulse section so I was like what the hell, they are only $10, I might as well try them out. I have very small lashes so maybe if I can get these to go on properly and they look good, I will wear them regularly.


So that's what i got today. I will try all of there products out and I will review all of them.

Until next time!

Favs Part 3

So heres the last part of my favorites. I know it is a lot but I love all of them!

Fashion

Right now, I am really liking Cardigans. I also like the dark colors and neon clothes!.

Random

Lindt Lindor Mil chocolate truffles These chocolates are so so so gooood!! It is milk chocolate with a smooth center. Definitely worth trying!!!

Water Nothing better than water to keep hydrated in the winter. I drink tap water at home and bottled at school.

Vitamin C and D With the weather going from hot to cold to hot and then cold again, germs are multiplying and everyone is getting sick. Vitamin C is good to keep you healthy and help prevent viruses. Vitamin D is good for your bones and teeth but it was also mentioned to help prevent this H1N1.

Hand Sanitizer With all these germs and viruses flying around, I am doing anything I can to keep myself healthy. Before I eat anything if i'm out, out comes the sanitizer.

I hope you enjoyed my favorites. Anyone have any requests or subjects for next blogs?

Until next time,
xoxo Kayla

Favs part 2

So here's the continuation of my favorites!

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer This is a fake tan cream. It gradually creates a natural looking tan. If you apply everyday, you will notice a darker skin shade within a week. You have to apply it evenly all over. It does not leave streaks and does not make you orange. It is very natural and looks better than a tan you would get from the sun. Best fake tanning method out there!

Crest White strips Advanced Seal I love these strips. They are effective and easy. All you do is peel them, apply, leave on for 30 minutes and remove. The seal is so tight, sometimes its hard to get off. It does not budge at all! I love them and they really whitened my teeth a whiter shade after the second day! Although they are more expensive than the regular white strips, I recommend the advanced seal because it holds. The regulars always slid off and lasted up to ten minutes. Were as theses, will not move. You can even drink water with them on.

O.P.I Nail Lacquer I am especially loving Cajun Shrimp!

Hair

L'Oreal Studio Line Curl Power Springing Mousse. I could not live without this product! I use it everyday in my hair. I have wild, frizzy curly hair. This product, tames the frizz and makes curls. All you have to do is put it in your damp hair and scrunch your hair. If you have curly hair, this product is a must try!

Pantene Style Pro-V Curls Anti-frizz creme On the bottle, in the directions it says to put in damp hair. I, however put a small amount and rub it in my palms. I them smooth over my dry hair frizz any fly aways.

John Frieda Collection Frizz-Ease Cream Serum Overnight repair Every 3 or 4 days, I will apply all over my hair and leave it in over night. It repairs damaged hair and nourishes to prevent and fix frizz. I love this product. When I rinse it out in the shower, my hair feels very soft and conditioned! Great product!

This is the end of part 2. Part 3 will follow shortly.

Favs Part 1

Hey Everyone,

So today I will be talking about my favorites, from beauty, hair, random and fashion, at the moment. Alright so I will get started.

Beauty

Lancome Paris Cils Booster XL. It is a super-enhancing mascara base. This my first mascara step. You prime the lashes with this white mascara. It lengthens and makes the lashes appear thicker. I love this product because it makes the lashes longer and thicker. You can even wait until it dries and apply as many coats as you want until your lashes are at the desired length and thickness. I recommend this product for everyone to use under there favorite mascara.

Laura Mercier Thickening and Building Mascara in Black After priming my lashes with the Lancome base, I use my Laura Mercier mascara. This can also be used alone. It will add a bit of length but not much. It mostly thickens and adds volume. The brush is soft and thick. This is my favorite mascara at the moment. I use it all the time and I am always satisfied with the end result... that is if I don't mess up!

Lancome Hypnose Mascara I use this mascara if I'm going for a more dramatic look. I put it on top of the two previous mascaras to make it more black and define everything. If I'm just going to school, I will not wear this one but I will when going out with friends. It is a good mascara that could be used alone, but it only makes the lashes black and adds very little volume.

Clinique Take the Day off Makeup remover for lids, lashes& lips. I love this makeup remover! I use it at night only. First, you have to shake it really well, pour a bit on a tissue, or sponge, or makeup pad and dab it on the area you are wishing to remove makeup. Then you leave it there for about 3 seconds and then, in one or two wipes, it comes off. After i is all removed, you have to rinse It off your face. It is a good remover but the annoying part is that it needs to get rinsed off.

Lancome Effacil Gentle Eye Makeup Remover This makeup remover can be used to remove left over makeup the next morning, or to fix and touch up existing makeup. The only thing I don't like is that it is a bit oily, but that can be wipe off with a clean tissue.

BVLGARI Omnia Amethyste Perfume I Adore this perfume. Usually I don't wear any, but I absolutely love it. It smells a little like jasmine and roses. I can't really describe how amazing the scent is. Next time you are in Sephora, or wherever they sell perfume, check this one out and see how amazing it smells

Part 2 will follow shortly

Dear John and Valentine's Day


So today, I went to the theater to see Dear John and Valentines day with some friends.

Dear John was amazing! It is, in my opinion, the greatest love story since the notebook. Everyone was saying how not good it was so I went in, expecting it to be bad. I loved it! It made me cry a few times but the end was a little confusing. I wasn't sure if they were getting back together or whether they were saying goodbye. Im not going to say what happened because I don't want to give it away. I really recommend everyone sees Dear John. It is just as good as the previews! As for the actors, Channing Tatum was awesome! He is so sexy lol and he did a good job playing John.Amanda Seyfried was also good but I would have pictured someone else as Savannah. She did a good job and it like how she played the role but reading the novel, I pictured someone completely different. Maybe Blake Lively or Hilarie Burton.



Valentine's Day was also good. It had some of the greatest actors combined in one movie. The acting was good and so was the story. I would have pictured the end to be a bit different but oh well.

All in all, both movies were great! I really enjoyed and rcommend both!

until next time,
xoxo Kayla

Best Dressed

So I know i'm a little late but oh well. Today is all about the Grammy's best dressed on the red carpet.

First we have Keri Hilson in a Dolce and Gabanna mermaid gown. The gown is absolutely stunning in a salmony pink with just a little sparkle at the waist. The dress fits Keri like a glove and the color goes really well with her complexion. It is also strapless. I would have much rathered the straps made out of the same sequin/sparkly material as the waistband but that is only my opinion.


Next we have Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. In a Kufman Franco blue sequin gown, Taylor looked simply classic and elegant. The sequined gown with an open back was a great choice for the young singer/actress. Carrie's white dress was beautiful. It was nice and flowey but could have been fitted just a little better. The fake silver leather was slightly tacky. The dress has great potential but isn't getting anywhere on Carrie.

Wearing a black mermaid Gown, Melani Fiona, looked HOT. The dress fit perfectly and was ruched in the right way. The one sleeve and simple jewelry complemented the outfit.

Not only were there best dressed but some What were they thinking!

Like Lady Gaga's hola hoop dress. She looked like she was skipping rope and get caught and didn't make it out. Lady Gaga is known for her outrageous outfits but couldn't she chose something nice at least once for the Gramnmys! Also What in the world are those spikes. They just make her look like someone on a killing mission! And what is with the makeup. She is way too pale and it is way to drastic. She looks way worse then a porcelain doll! Anyways, enough about Lady Gaga because I could go on for hours.


So that's todays blog! Talk to you tomorrow!
