i finally got my shipment of Leishi mineral eyeshadows !!

i got 6 different shades
light green
burgundy
white
beige
blue
lilac


they are soo NICE !! esp for the price i got 24 for less than $15
the colors that i got are super shimmery & pigmented they were really
easy to apply and blend. Only issue i had is that they can be kinda messy
but i guess that's how mineral make up is in general. I LOVE THEM !!

you can find them on ebay :)

frugalista

so i used to be a slave to MAC bulk wipes
it’s a make up remover w/ moisturizer
but @ $ 26 per pack of 100.
i was really struggling with the idea if it was worth it

so i hit up tar-jay i started realllly low end with some
target brand ones comparable to the neutrogena brand (under $4 !!)
and they did the job just as good as the MAC ones.

then i found another target brand one made comparable to “Ponds clean sweep”
and i think these are the BEST they have little ridges so i feel like it gets more
make up off with one sweep & they’re very soft against the skin
they come infused with chamomile & vitamin E ! (also under $4 !!)



ohh & forget buying blotting paper wipes.
just use kleenex or any napkin will do :)

foundation in HD

i’m a believer

So ppl have been rating & raving about make up forever’s “high definition foundation”

its been really hard for me to find a foundation that will give me the coverage i need without making me look cakey. So i just kinda settled for clinique’s “even better” foundation it feels wonderful on my skin but i don’t think the color matches my skin as well as other MAC foundations & the coverage is ok but u can still see my freckles :(

kinda on a whim i decided to try the new HD foundation..



Kat @ sephora color matched me in less that 5 seconds she was like ur “127.. now lets not take off ur pretty make up & trust” she said its for medium to full coverage ... i barely put anything on and it had already covered up all the freckles & red spots !! i think it has a really smooth finish (not sticky to the touch like some MAC foundations) but almost silky. I didn’t try the HD primer because i’m really happy with my Laura Mercier primer.

i so love it !!! it survived a night of sushi, clubs, & after parties
no reapplication !! no shiny oily skin !!

Love your brushes.

so as i was cleaning my brushes...
i noticed that the little numbers were rubbing off :( eep.


i am SO kicking myself for not doing this b4.
because @ work we tell ppl to do this all the time !!!


but anywho... today i applied clear nail polish
over the Mac logo & brush #.
just one coat is enough

it gives the logo more of a shinier look
