Primer Police

Back again and I think I've found one!

There has been so much chatter in the cyber makeup world about Too Faced shadow insurance for a very long time now. But I had been reluctant to try it for no real reason at all. But on a recent trip to Sephora I saw that they had a shelf with 80 % off select items and what do I find? A small Too Faced makeup bag with shadow insurance in it as well as an eye shadow duo and one of their eye liners, so of course I couldn't turn it down because I got all that for only 10 dollars. When shadow insurance is put on they lid it goes on smoothly and doesn't leave the lid matte. So I was a little thrown off at first because I felt there would be nothing for the shadow to stick to. Silly me, even with my oily eye lids my shadows stay ALMOST all day. I do experience a little creasing around the 6th hour of having my makeup on but no fading. Over all I give this product an B+ so the search continues but for right now I'm happy with my shadow insurance.

Say that again!!!

Previously I did a review on the Smashbox Try It Kit which included a mascara and basically in that review all I said about the mascara was "ehh it's mascara." Well I take that back I love that mascara! It really grabs the bottom lashes and coats them well so they are easier to see without using a microscope. It works really well on the top lashes as well. The reason I was not very fond of this mascara at first was because I was using it in combination with another mascara, because for some reason I was on a mascara cocktail kick a few months ago. But when I started using it alone I discovered my love for it.

She strikes again...

The junkie in me has struck again. I just put in an order over at cherryculture.com. I feel like I haven't purchased makeup in so long and as I was looking at my collection today I just felt sad. Which lead me to my computer and then to cherryculture and then to my wallet. But at least I got free shipping! *soft sigh* And seeing that I recently did a post about people that only buy one brand of makeup, it was only fitting that I purchased only NYX products. I know, I know shame on me. Anyway I will do a review after every thing gets here. Oh and I'll do another post about things I plan to buy in the near (or not so near) future.

Just to name a few

*Picture me in the cosmetic version of Brown Sugar* "So when did you fall in love with makeup." If you've never seen the movie Brown Sugar then just... never mind. But the question is, when did you fall in love with makeup? For me the year was 2007 and I was just a kid at home watching youtube videos thinking "I wonder if I can do that?" So I went out and purchased some Loreal eye shadow duos and went to work. Don't judge me they were all the rage when I first started doing makeup. I practiced and practiced until I got pretty good. But it wasn't until I saw Erin over at scandalousbeautyonline.com that I realized that I could do what I loved and make money. Since youtube was a large part of my start I've decided that I will share some of my favorite youtubers with you all.

I'm linking their names to my favorite looks by them

Im probably going to be upset with myself for this

But, I want to create a look book. You know almost like an online portfolio. I haven't put too much thought into it, it was just one of those ideas that hit me and I thought it may be interesting. I do know that I will not start on it until after I have finished a project I have for class... Oh hey Ms. Smalls girl. Moving along, let me know if that is something you would like to see from me in the future.

Train case progression

So I told you ladies that I am working on my professional train case. The first step to that would be the train case! Well not really I'm probably not going to purchase the train case until I run out of storage for the things I'm going to put in the case. Anyway here is the one I'm looking at. Cute huh?!
