[Sponsored Review] Snow White Costume

Hello!


So, I've been super backlogged with my posts because I've just moved into a new apartment, I didn't have internet for a few weeks and my job is pretty demanding right now, haha.

I'm working on fixing it and I actually have a lot of stuff I want to blog about! (Like dragon*con, all my reviews, etc)

Also, I've been planning to change my blog background soon but still not sure what to change it to...
I've also been way to lazy to change my pictures to the "curved square" that I usually have so...idk if it really changes much, haha.

So, because this review has a deadline, I'm posting it first. :)
And since halloween is right around the corner, I figured "why not?".

Review: MUA Lipsticks 1,12,13,14,15

I mentioned in my last post that I received my MUA package finally~

 (on the site they said that you can't report it as "missing" unless it's been 35 days. 35 DAYS! 

D: Glad mine came in after about 3 weeks. :3) 

I was SUPER excited to get my MUA package a few days ago and jumped right into trying everything out. All of these lipsticks normally sell for about $1.50 but I got them 50% off! :D

I'm on my way to building my makeup kit so I wanted to try to stock up on lipsticks to melt into a palette. I really love to buy tons of colors...but I end up only using a few, haha. I normally don't wear any colors except a nude pink or red unless I'm just taking pictures of something. xD 

So, SWATCHES AND REVIEW AHEAD!

Project Illustrious: Winter Palace Promenade (+ MUA haul)

Hello lovelies~

This past week has been...hectic. Not only was it Valentine's day, but I also celebrated my bf's birthday (which was actually 2 weeks ago) and went to one of my friends events.

Last year I was invited to her birthday event and had a really great time so I figured I'd go to this one!
Her birthday event was by invite only but the WPP was open to the public. One of their main goals or..missions, is to "bring fancy back".
A lot of people nowadays seem to not fully comprehend "dressing for the occasion" and wear jeans to a ball or something of that standard and that's really not acceptable.
They're hoping to bring back the tradition of dressing up by hosting these types of events.

The picture to the right is actually of a Dance Card. A dance card is basically..well..a card with the names of the "main" songs. As an ice breaker, you try to find dance partners for each song and have them sign their name under it. You'll see more details on it later. Super pretty though, yes?

[Review] Maybelline Superaway Lipcolor Remover

Hello~

I recently did a haul from Kmart since the one by my house is closing and everything was 60% off!
There wasn't much selection but I did manage to get away with some nifty lip products!

The first one I'll be reviewing is actually a product I've never heard about. I saw this on the racks and wasn't sure if I should get it or not, but hey, it was on sale. I think normally they retail for about $4 and I got this for around $1! :3

I'll be using it with Loreal's Infallible Beyonce Red since this is notorious for staying on all day, not transferring on anything and being hard to get off! (I actually have a normal make-up remover that does the job but it takes a while still, haha)

Makeup Swap #1

YAYE!
My first makeup swap is officially COMPLETE.
Fammy, a girl in California, emailed me about a swap, we got it going and today I received my package!

We both put tracking on our packages so I knew it was coming today and I couldn't wait! I waited for the postman..but right when I turned away..he came and I didn't realize it until later...>>


ANYWAYS! She individually wrapped every single thing! In cupcake paper! I felt so bad because my package was not even close to being that cute. >.<

☆Favorite: Lip Balms☆

Lip balms are essential to me. If my lips aren't properly exfoliated and moisturized I just can't wear any other lip products. Lip sticks will accentuate the cracks and dry skin and it's just. OJIHUGIYFVH

There's tons of lip balms out there ready to be tried out! The most notable brands, drugstore wise, I believe are EOS, Nivea, Chapstick (of course), and Burt's Bees. There's of course HUNDREDS of other brands that sell lip balms.

I've made my way around tons of lip balms but have never found one that I've used until I hit the base. Until now.

I'm a huge fan of Nivea lip products. I've tried most of them and always keep at least one around wherever I go. But, my all time favorite is the Nivea Vitamin Swirl. My mom received it in the mail for free to try out and I stole it from her~ Since then, I've used it every single day until it turned into this.

The color is a dark pink color swirled with white which actually shows up as a really soft pink color on the lips. This product is AMAZING. It smells great (super fruit :3), feels great, and keeps the moisture in! I love having soft lips (I'm sure my bf appreciates it also) so whenever I slack on keeping them moisturized, I layer it on at night and wipe it off (plus all the dead skin) in the morning with a damp towel and VOILA! Beautiful, soft lips.

I really need to get a new one...but I'm waiting for my nivea coupon to come in, haha. I'm also looking forward to trying the berry swirl which looks like a peach colored version of this. 8D

My lips with just Nivea Vitamin Swirl on. It gives off such a beautiful, natural pink color. I LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHH.

Since I'm low on my Vitamin Swirl (saving the left over product in the base for special days until I get a new one) my sephora birthday gift came just in time!

For those who don't know, Sephora gives away a different birthday gift every year which mainly contains small sample/tester sized products. This year was a Fresh. Sugar lip treatment and Rose mini lip duo.

I haven't used the Rose one yet since I was mainly concerned about keeping my lips moisturized.

The size is SUPER TINY (since it's just a tester size) and sadly, the bullet broke at the base so I had to scrape the product out and put it into a little container. 

The product itself applies super smoothly and it just feels great on the lips. It has a soft lemony scent (nothing too bad) which is nice because my bf will sometimes use my lip balms and he hates anything that smells super fruity or has any color in it. xD

There's no color, completely clear but gives a nice gloss.

The only downside is, the full sized product is a on the pricey side, especially compared to Nivea.

The full product is .15 oz and costs $22.50! So expensive compared to my $2.59 Vitamin Swirl. :(

I LOVE these two products so much and I'm sure I'll like the Fresh. Rose and the Nivea Berry swirl as well.
