Current Makeup Wish List

It is inevitable that I, like any other person who really loves makeup, have a constant wish list running through my head of things I am thinking of buying next.  I currently have 5 tops things that I am going to buy...eventually.

The first product is the Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive.  I have passed over buying this product for a very long time but was convinced to wanting to try it after watching a recent video of ItsMyRayeRaye on YouTube.  When she mentioned that this has a thin liquid liner type brush applicator and that it dries way faster that duo, I was sold.

After attending this makeup class last month by the wonderfully talented, funny and humble celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez, I knew I had to have this product when he mentioned using it.  I have again seen this many, many times and saw reviews on YouTube of this but wasn't quite convinced. Since this can be used on all skin types without making one look ashy, I will definitely be heading to a Sephora soon to grab this.


The next product I want to purchase is the Clinique bottom lash mascara.  I saw this at Sephora last year and it was only $10 but I didn't buy it...silly girl.  But hearing that this works great for grabbing all of the bottom lashes I am definitely going to grab this.


I have been getting more into highlighting lately and saw that the MAC mineralize skinfinish in Soft and Gentle would be a great product that I think would compliment my skintone when I am feeling a JLo day and want to really beat my face.

I have never been into using brow gels, I just fill mine in and go.  However, every tutorial I watch on filling in eyebrows, brow gel is used.  More so the colored brow gels that many companies are releasing lately versus the clear kind.  I want to try the MAC brow gel in either girl boy or show-off.  Not sure which one would be best for me.

What is on your current makeup wish list?

I quenched my thirst...Makeup Haul




At work today I was itching to get off to go to the mall to do some makeup shopping. I started at Nordstrom's since the triple points is going on if you have a Nordstrom's debit card.

Bobbi Brown: From Bobbi Brown I got the Oil Free tinted moisturizer in Deep Tint, a lipstick in Uber Nude and a lip gloss in Naked Plum.

MAC: From the MAC counter I purchased a blush in Raizin, a prolong wear eyeshadow in Uninterrupted from their new collection Office Hours, and 3 eyeshadows from their main line Bronze, Mythology and All That Glitters.

If I had not already gotten enough, and spent enough, I headed over to Sephora looking for a Beauty Blender and to test out the Kat Von D tattoo concealer that I have heard so much about.

Kat Von D: Tattoo Concealer in Deep 34 and Deep 36.





When you get home and go in the bathroom to where you do your makeup with the lighting you use everyday you can really see whats really good and not so much. These are the items that remained winners, the rest will have to go back. This is good for me cause I spent so much! Clearly lost my mind!

First impressions:

Bobbi Brown: After I took my shower for the evening, I decided to test the products that I know I liked. The tinted moisturizer is really good. It just makes your skin look clearer. However it isn't very easy to blend and I would add this to my moisturizer to blend it into my skin.
The Bobbi Brown Uber Nude lipstick is a great nude for my complexion!

MAC: This eyeshadow is the perfect transition color. You can also wear it on its own without adding any other color with it to give your eyelids something, a little umph!

Kat Von D: I tested both of these concealers while in Sephora. The Deep 34 was great for under my eye. It blends very easy and doesnt look cakey at all. The Deep 36 will be used for any dark spots on my face that I of course want to conceal. A little goes a long long way.

Products I still want to purchase...



Kat Von D Load N' Lock Makeup Setting Mist



Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick in Inspired

In a Makeup rut...

Have you ever had a moment when you were putting your face on and didn't like anything you own or was just bored with the products you still do like? I am currently going through that. Guess its the same thing as having a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. I may have to take a visit to the mall this weekend and load up on some products.



I have always wanted to try MAC's blush in Raizin. There is no time like the present to buy this. Why dont' I already own this???



I also should have owned MAC's blunt blush a long time ago. I think I will have to cheat on my Bobbi Brown bronzer in Deep Chocolate and use this to contour.



MAC's blush in peaches will give my skin just the glow it needs.



I also have always been interested in trying the Beauty Blender. So many YouTubers swear by this. I know it is sold at Sephora but rarely see it there so may have to order this online.



I like but no longer love my concealers. I think I want to try the Laura Mercier camouflage concealer kit a try. Will let you know what I think of it.



I need some lipsticks so have been searching which ones may look the best on me. I fell upon MAC's mocha lipstick above. I also want a deep rich red/brown lipstick for the FALL. I will see what one of the makeup artist recommends.

I am sure I will stumble across a few other things to buy (possibly even the NAKED palette by Urban Decay that I constantly go back and forth on with whether to buy or not, we will see).

I will definitely show my goodies once I get them. :-)
