Hello Lovelies!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your week!  Hopefully you all had a fun-filled and SAFE St. Patricks Day (and hopefully you aren't suffering from too much of a hangover)!  I am actually feeling pretty bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning because the weather kept me home last night. But enough about that; on to the make-up!

So as I was thinking about what to post this week I started thinking about all of the awesome make-up that I have really been wanting this month and thought, "hey, I'll post a wish list!"  This post is just to let you guys know what I have been hearing a lot of hype about lately and have been wanting to get my hands on and try. 

Just a disclaimer for this and the next post:  I am somewhat limited at the moment because I am home on spring break until next Tuesday so my make-up collection is limited at the moment so I'll try and review some things I have with me and let you know how they are working and what-not, but that is why I haven't really been able to start doing any tutorials just yet but they are coming soon!!

Anyway, on to my March 2014 Wish-list!:

Tarte Maracuja Miracle Foundation

This foundation looks BEAUTIFUL.  I have been lusting after this luxurious formula for a few months now actually and can't wait until I have the opportunity to get my hands on it.  It is a fairly expensive product at $42 (and I am a broke college student) but I am willing to pony that up for this beautiful foundation.  It promises a long-wearing formula which is important to me because I don't have time to be touching up my make-up all the time between class, work, and other extra-curriculars so long-wearing formulas are at the top of my list.  This foundation also has a dewy finish.  If this foundation can give me a dewy finish without making me look sweaty and without wearing off it will be worth every penny.  A lot of times I really look for a matte finish but sometimes I just want that ethereal look that dewy finish foundations can offer.  Long story short, as soon as I can get my hands on this I will be purchasing it!

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush

These blushes are ah-mazing. I have tested them in the store and all of the colors are so pigmented and beautiful.  I can't even pinpoint a specific shade that I want because they are all amazing.  There is a great variety of mattes and shimmers and an awesome range of colors from bright pinks to warm corals to mauves to subtle tans.  These blushes will run you $26 at Ulta and I'm guessing would be worth every penny.  As soon as I get my hands on some I will be sure you guys are the first to know!

EDIT:  I picked up one of these in the shade Flawless! Review to come soon!

Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss

These glosses are wonderful.  They are sheer glosses is neutral colors that give just enough color to brighten the face but not so much that they perform like a liquid lipgloss.  I am in love with the colors Liar and Streak.  Liar is a coordinating color to the shade of the same name in the Naked 3 palette which is a deep is nude pink.  Streak is a coral color with a subtle nude quality.  I love nude pink lip colors and I have a special affinity for coral lipsticks and lip glosses so that explains why I want these two colors so badly.  They ring it at $20 a piece. I'll be sure to let you guys know when I finally get my hands on some!

EDIT:  I also picked up a couple of these in the shades Streak and Lovechild and will be reviewing them and possibly picking up a couple more to do some swatches!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush

Now I'm sure you have all heard the hype about these blushes and I have fallen victim to said hype and want to try these so bad!  They are supposed to leave the skin with a beautiful sheen that is subtle yet noticeable when the light hits. I have heard nothing but good things about these from many bloggers and YouTubers (I first heard about these from the lovely Jaclyn Hill) and although they carry a pretty hefty price tag coming in at $35 a piece they seem to be worth the money! These look gorgeous and I want them all! (But I'll settle for one or two for now)

Well that is my wish-list for this month! I will let you guys know as I start collecting these and add them to my collection of make-up.  I'm sure they will be wonderful additions and I can't wait for them to be mine! What is on your wish-list this month? Let me know in the comments!

Hope you guys have a lovely week!

Walgreens Haul

Hello and happy Tuesday lovelies!

I hope the beginning of this week is finding you well!  It is a beautiful day here and there are robins everywhere so hopefully that means Spring will be upon us sooner rather than later!

On Friday I had some time to kill so I decided to stop into a local Walgreens and just "have a look around." I should always know better than to think I will come out of Walgreens (or any drugstore for that matter) without at least a few make-up items to try and add to my current collection.  Well it was particularly bad this weekend because there is a pretty awesome sale going on...and I just got paid. So that happened.  

If you shop at Walgreens at all you know there are the usual "Buy-1-Get-1-50% off" sales for a lot of their make-up products which is a great deal if you want to try a couple different colors of the same item or if you have a holy grail item and want to stock up.  However, it is pretty rare for them to have sales where you can get an item for 50% off by itself.  Surprisingly there are quite a few items right now that are 50% off or $2.00 off just by themselves! Awesome, right? I think so. So here are a few items that I got to try, some are new some I've tried before and just wanted a few more colors to try!  Hope you enjoy!!

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation Shade 091-Light Ivory

I first heard about this foundation on Beauty Broadcast Express (which I love and watch everyday).  It had a pretty good review for people without dry skin issues, or for someone who needs a long-wearing foundation.  While I do have some dry skin issues (especially in the winter) I really need a foundation that lasts a long time because I just don't have time to be touching up my make-up all the time!  I've been meaning to try this foundation for a week or two now and when I saw it was on sale I snatched one up to try!!
Regular Price at Walgreens: $5.49  Sale Price:  $2.74

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick Shades (from left to right) 102 and 12

I'll just come out and say it, I love these lipsticks. I already own some and have absolutely no complaints. They don't dry my lips out too much and they have a really decent lasting power (especially when layered over a lip liner). As I was browsing the drug store I saw this really pretty pink shade and this bright coral and just had to have them!  Now, sometimes I have trouble finding pink shades that work on me, some make me look dead while other make me look like I just got done eating a cherry popsicle, neither of which are really what I am going for.  This pink looks to me like it is neutral enough to work for my skin tone so I thought I would try it! And to be honest I just have a really deep love for coral lip colors, especially in the spring and summer, and really love this one because it has the same neutral color quality that works so well on me!
Regular Price at Walgreens:  $5.49 Sale Price: $2.74

Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigment Shade 20-Pink Rebel

Two words: Radiant Orchid.  I love the Pantone Color of the Year. It works well with my coloring and I just love this pink-y purple-y shade in general.  I saw this color, and while it wasn't on sale, have been dying to try and orchid eye look and this is the first eye product that really stood out to me as being a true orchid (not too much pink, not too much purple) so I grabbed it! Keep an eye out for a tutorial in the very near future!
Price at Walgreens:  $6.99

Almay Liquid Lip Balm Shades (from left to right) 400-Lilac Love, 900-Apricot Pucker and 700 Cantaloupe Cream

These little lovelies caught my eye because of the gorgeous colors. I grabbed an pretty deep orchid color (yay Pantone) and a deep coral and a lighter coral.  I mainly picked up the darker coral to coordinate with the deep coral lipstick and I just liked the others.  I just realized they were buy-1-get-1 50% off so I really should have picked up another but oh well.  These were all different prices so I'll just post the regular price but I did get one for 50% off and one for $2 off as well.

Regular Price at Walgreens:  $5.79

So that's what I got on Friday! Expect reviews with swatches and tutorials using some of these items in the near future! Have a wonderful day lovelies!

Much love!
