HAUL: Sephora, Wal-Mart & HautLook

Went to Sephora today mainly to get Kat Von D's liquid liner, but I did not end up getting it because turns out it's not waterproof.

Let me tell you, my eyes water A LOT, I need waterproof everything, honestly. I need waterproof mascaras, pencil liners, liquid liners & gel liners.

So I was kind of disappointed that they were not waterproof, I've read good reviews about her liners. Buuut, fortunately, I found Makeup Forever's Waterproof Liquid Liner. Apparently that's the only waterproof liquid liner sephora carries...

I also grabbed the professional sized UDPP, SO HAPPY THEY HAVE IT.  I don't have to cut open my UDPP bottle now C:

Afterwards, I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some Goody Spin Pins, I have recently discovered them and wanted to try them out for myself. And believe me...they work. They claim that with only two spin pins it'll replace approx.10-15 bobby pins.

threw hair up in a quick bun - only used the two spin pins and surprisingly it's VERY secured.

I also bought Burt's Bees lip balm & EOS lip balm in "summer fruit" - favorite lip balms ever !

My order from HautLook finally came in, I've always wanted to try Vincent Longo. So I ordered a Wet Diamond Shadow in "Libertango" and a Virgin - Lux Lip Gloss in "Prismalite"

I'm kind of disappointed with the shadow because I didn't notice a significant difference when applied wet or dry. The lip gloss on the other hand is great, very moisturizing and it smells like hot chocolate, yumm~

DIY: Gradiant nails

I did my nails the other day, it's very quick and simple. Very easy to do.

I used: 

• Caroline Nail Lacquer in "Disco Queen" 

(I don't remember where I bought this nail polish, it's been a long time >< I found it while I was cleaning my room.) Anyways, I just took off the excess polish by brushing it along the rim of the bottle and painted it on lightly. I covered a little bit more than half.

• China Glaze in 662 "Cowgirl Up"

I put this color near the tip of my nails, only covering half of the light purple. This color is much darker than the Caroline "Disco Queen". So what I did was took some of the "Disco Queen" and applied it over top of the "Cowgirl Up" so that it blends more nicely.

• Cover Girl Boundless Color in "Disco Dazzle" & "City Lights"

I used these two to cover up any mistakes or any obvious color transitions.


Quick and Simple. c:

88 palette - warm, shimmer & matte

I had recently ordered 3 palettes from eBay. Yes, they're just like the Costal Scents but they're much much cheaper! It's because they have the same manufacturer which ships them out to different cosmetic companies. 


Anyways, I was so excited to have received them in the mail. I'm impressed with how pigmented they are and how vibrant some of the colors are when you apply them.


matte 88 :

Such a big variety of colors, it makes it difficult to put together a look because there are so many options.

warm 88:

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE. Whenever I am in a rush or just want a simple neutral/natural look, I go to this warm 88. So many shades of browns, grays, blacks, even purple-ish taupe-y colors. 

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.  

shimmer 88:

Not my everyday kinda palette...but it's still very pigmented and shimmery. I like to mix this palette with the matte one because I like to add a touch of shimmer to some of my looks. C:
