MAC VIVA GLAM....with Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper

I'm loving all the GLAM in VIVA GLAM! It's a gaga-glamorous...
The M·A·C AIDS Fund and the VIVA GLAM program are the heart and soul of M·A·C Cosmetics. It amazing to have Cyndi Lauper and the Lady Gaga as the newest spokes women for MAC Viva Glam!
I'm dying over the VIVA GLAM Lipstick named after Cyndi Lauper.

Features a high-lustre finish and a light coral-red colour. As with all VIVA GLAM products, every cent raised through the purchase of VIVA GLAM Cyndi goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Alice in Wonderland....PLEASE READ THE BOOK xoxo

I'm not sure how many of you have seen Tim Burton's latest masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland, but I advise you PLEASE READ THE BOOK FIRST!!!
As you know, I am a book nerd. So, naturally, I read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll.
It made the experience of watching Tim Burton's film, that much more enjoyable!!
The movie pretty much followed the book, although the book is always more detailed, of course. I happened to like how they upped the age in the character of Alice., it made the storyline flow a little better for all of us Old skool Alice in Wonderland fans. Another one of my favorite scenes was Alice walking over the moat full of "cut off heads", as per request of the Queen of hearts. I thought Anne Hathaway did a fabulous job as the white queen, and Johnny Deep...I mean COME ON!! He is Johnny Deep; he can make any movie better!!

The makeup was PHENOMENAL! It was def. my favorite part of the whole movie just seeing the array of colorful costumes and makeup looks. I have to give this movie two thumbs up, BUT Please, read the book before you watch it!! If you have already watched, read the book and then watch it again!! lol

Confessions of a Concealaholic by BENEFIT

Confessions of a Concealaholic, By Benefit
A concealing and brightening kit!

Don't fight it, hide it!! I am loving this awesome concealing and brightening kit!! It contains everything you might need to make your life utterly FABULOUS!! Gotta love BENEFIT!!

I usually have issues concealing different flaws on my face. Out grown eyebrows, a huge pore, a n un-friendly zit...whatever! Its magical!!

Here is my review on each product in this set:

This set contains:
- 0.25 oz "That Gal" brightening face primer
- 2 x 0.04 oz Boi-ing industrial strength concealer in 01 Light (for fair complexions) and 02 Medium (for medium complexions) for custom concealing
- 0.11 oz Erase Paste brightening camouflage for eyes and face in No. 2 (for medium complexions)
- 0.03 oz Lemon Aid (sheer pale yellow) color correcting eyelid primer
- 0.03 oz Eye Bright (pale pink) instant eye brightener
- Concealer Brushes
- step-by-step lesson

That Gal: really does brighten your face! Doesn't do much under the makeup but it does work, totally worth it.

Boi-ing concealer: Works ok. Not the best! I've had better concealers that actually cover up my little acne scars and such.

Erase Paste: It has a creamy consistency and you only need a tiny dab, which makes it last longer. It really does brighten up my under-eye circles.

Lemon Aid: LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! My eyes sometimes look "hungover" tired, even tho. I am never hungover. This product "wakes" them right up! probably the most effective product out of the whole set, and my favorite by far!

Eye Bright: don't really notice a difference with or without it. I've found that my eyes looks better with a bit of sheer cream eyeshadow instead.

OVERALL REVIEW: Definitely worth buying if you want to sample some awesome BENEFIT Products! For myself, I'd probably just invest in the full-size versions of erase paste and lemon aid.

kandee Johnson: makeup Godess!!

I was surfing around on YouTube one night....trying to get some tips for defining my eyebrows. I know, I know I'm always having issues with my eyebrows!!! Anyway...stumbled upon one of thee best channels ever!!! (in my opinion anyway, which matters the most lol)
Her name is Kandee Johnson, and she is one AWESOME makeup artist!!! Her videos and very helpful and fun and what she can do with a makeup brush is absolutely FABULOUS!! I couldn't help but sit there and watch every video she made and pick up all of these new tips and awesome tricks (which I am using now, BTW)
I really really like her style because she is very down to earth and gives you an example of a cheaper product to use that would work just as well. I think that's really important to those who cannot afford great makeup but still want to look A LIST!! There is no shallowness, snobbishness, or prissiness with her....Which is why I like her! She is THE BEST at what she does but does not act like it!!
She is def. a makeup artist to learn from and look up too!
She actually has her own blog which you can view at kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com
Her channel on YouTube is http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson?feature=chclk
or her new KANDEE SHOW channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/thekandeejohnsonshow

Check her out for yourself and become a FAN just like I am!!! You will be glad you did!!!

IMPRESSED with COASTAL SCENTS makeup!

I received my 88 color palette and my 88 ultra shimmer palette.....AND my true black gel liner and OMG!!!! I am SUPER D' DUPER IMPRESSED!! The palettes are fabulous! I love all of the colors and they come out so bright! Before I get excited again, let me start off with the gel liner.

First of all, I am a BENEFIT BAD GAL eyeliner pencil kind of girl and have been for a very ling time! I am now switching to Coastal Scents TRUE BLACK gel liner! The product goes on smooth and dark (which I LOVE) and stays put all day long!!! I only had to apply it once!! Just one line across my top lid and I was AMAZED! Usually it takes a couple of lines to darken it up, with CS I only had to do it ONCE. Just ONCE! This is exactly what I look for my idea of a perfect eyeliner, so this is why I was so impressed. I might just have to put in a standing order!

As for the palettes... WOW! The colors are so vibrant and you don't need to cake it on your eye lids. They are the smoothest, prettiest colors for the BEST PRICE ever! The thing I loved the most was that the colors blend easily to make the hottest eyeshadow combinations. I touched it once and the color stayed on my finger. View the pic below to see how awesome the color comes out! They are great for doing any colored smokey eyes! I am dying right now!!! I am def. using Coastal Scents more often then I will my MAC collection!
I was VERY HAPPY with my products and will most def. be ordering from Coastal Scents in the future!

Coastal Scents

I've been very curious about the makeup products from Coastal Scents. I LOVE makeup, but I also love quality makeup. So far, from what I've seen online, it seems as if Coastal Scents might be my next lover....move over MAC! More affordable when compared to other makeup brands, but works just as well on any skin tone. They have a selection of FABULOUS finished palettes with an aray of colors!!

I've Just orderd my CS 88 palettes in MATTE, and in SHIMMER. I've also orders the "TRUE BLACK" gel liner I've been hearing so much about!!

Check back for my next BLOG to see my full review of each product!!
