My Favorite Combanation

So its been a while, i know. School has been SO hectic and stressful. I mean i had 5 tests last friday!! Thats crazy! But I am back with my new favorite lipstick combonation. MAC lipstick in Angel and Lipglass in Love Nectar.

With Love Nectar Lipglass over it.

This combo is great for everyday wear, or you can layer Angel lipstick with a colorful dazzleglass. If you are in desperate need of a new lipglass, MAC Love Nectar is my new favorite and i think will be for a LONG time! Thanks for reading and please follow!
XOXO, Victoria

MAC Brushes

As I know from experience, it is hard to find good beauty brushes. When i first got into makeup a while ago, I thought that MAC brushes were over priced and not worth the money. I bought all sorts of brushes from drugstores and i thought they worked great and that i was in no need for overpriced MAC brushes. Boy, was i wrong. I remember the first time I used my mac brush,i was amazed of how great my makeup looked, and i barely did any of the work. The brush did all the work for me! I really recommend buying mac brushes, these are my recommendations for first brushes.
Eyes:
217 (my favorite)
224
239
Face:
129
182
190
So please go check out MAC brushes. You will not be dissapointed and they will last you a lifetime.

Primer??

I know some people think that Urban Decay Primer Potion is a waste of money, right? WRONG! Thats what I thought before I actually bought it. Basically, a primer makes your eyeshadows more vibrant on your lid and make them stay on all day.  I thought i would do a quick experiment and show you the difference in color when i use primer and when i dont. Lets get started!


The dark brown color on the bottom is with primer, and the top color is without primer

The color I'm pointing to is the one I swatched. It is from the Covergirl Shimmering Sands Trio, which is a wonderful trio that everyone should check out.

So I hoped you changed your mind about primer and that was my quick post! Please follow and thanks!

Tag!

Hey everyone! Im SUPER sorry i haven't been posting lately, I was sick with a cold and i was helping my cousins pack because they were leaving. But I am back with a new post! I thought i would do a "tag" blog, like the videos on youtube, but i don't have a youtube.

So basically this tag is "6 things you cannot live without" 1 has to be hair related, 1 has to be makeup related, and 1 skincare item. So lets get started!

1. My flat iron! I don't straighten my hair everyday, but I always style it differently everyday. And my Cortex iron makes hair wavy, curly, or, obviously, straight.

2.  My Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser from Neutrogena. This cleanser leaves my face feeling fresh and invigorating. And I love the way it cleans my skin.

3. My Chanel lipgloss in Sundress. This lipgloss is SO versatile and can be worn without a lipstick and still give my lips a light pink tint. I wear this almost every day and I am almost out!

4. Urban Decay Primer Potion is absolutely amazing. I don't know how i survived without this. It makes my color stay all day and makes them incredibly vibrant. Stay posted because I'm doing and experiment with it soon!

5. John Frienda Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Straight. I use this heat protectant before I blow dry my hair and it makes my hair straight and not frizzy at all! I can't imagine how much my hair would be frizzy without this spray! And the best part is that you can get it at a drugstore!

6.  My Viva La Juicy perfume. I wear this perfume almost everyday. It suits day and night, and it smells kinda floral. If you can, go check it out!

Hope you guys enjoyed this and I will be posting soon!

Cortex Flat Iron Review

Hello everyone! So I'm back with another review(i know i know) but i think i'll do some fashion posts soon, so please follow and stay posted! Two days ago I had some extra time to waste after school, and there was a TJ Max near by. So I thought I'd go buy a Cortex Flat Iron, which I heard was a dupe for the CHI iron. I went to the store and they had a huge selection of Cortex Irons and I picked the Cortex Platinum Collection 1.5 in. Flat Iron in pink for only $29.99 when its sold at the official website for $220 ( great deal right?). This was my first experience with a iron that could do more than straighten, like curl and wave. I tried this iron when i first got home and I said"This DOES NOT curl my hair at ALL" I really wanted to like this iron, so i gave it one more chance and my cousin was with me this time. We looked up some videos on youtube on how to curl using a straight iron and all that stuff, and after half an hour of experimenting, we finally got a perfect curl. I was so excited. I learned that this iron is GREAT for straightening but also excellent for curling. You can get loose or tight curls depending on how fast you go. This iron goes up to 410 degrees F. If you are looking for a great iron, definitely go with this one, but buy it from TJ Max. If you were to buy it for $100, you should just save up for a CHI. Thanks for reading and please follow. Love you guys, XOXO Victoria
