Disneyland

 Hi everyone! I went to Disneyland yesterday and I took a few pics so I could share them with you. I started taking lots then I realized I wasn't really getting a chance to enjoy anything cause I was so busy trying to get good pics so I had to stop. :P

Windows from a shop. Pic under this one is from the same shop. Of course *I* loved them.

Vintage items. Love!

Look how my shirt was glowing in the Pinocchio ride! The round thing was a button.

At Space Mountain. It was so windy yesterday that it blew this umbrella right from a food cart and it ended up on the roof. Luckly it landed where it did cause right under it was the huge line of people!

My dream mirror!

Thanks for reading! <333

Tip for dried out mascara

My two fav mascaras ( PF Organic Wear and Sephora Lash Plumper) tend to dry out way too soon even when there's still lots of product left. What I do is I submerge the tube in a mug with warm water for 5-6 minutes everyday (it goes back to how it was before once it cools). It melts the product just enough without affecting it's performance. This also works with clumpy mascaras. Have any spiffy beauty tips to share? Hope you found this tip helpful! <3

Love,

April favs!

Hi everyone! My most used products are:

MAC liners in Blacktrack and Dipdown
Dior Favori Red
Dior Amber Diamond
Hourglass Creme to powder duo in Bronze Light (this stuff is MONEY; very little goes a long way)
Besame Sun Kissed
Bare Escentuals blush in Vintage Peach
MAC Melon (perfect on cheeks on sunny days)
Carmindy loose powder in Med/Dark
And Jane Iredale LipDrink

I love, love, love, extra love highlighters on sunny days. The highlighting side in the Hourglass duo is incredible. I can't get over how amazing and dewy it makes my cheeks look. Do yourself a favor and test it out next time you're at Sephora. ;)

 What are some of your April favs?

Thanks for reading! <3

Make up faux pas?

Thought id do a fun little poll.:) What make up crimes/faux pas did you commit in middle and/or high school? In middle school I did white liner on the top lid. No black, just white. Hay I was 12! >_<

Chanel Joues Contrast blush in Espiegle

Hi everyone! Espiegle ($43 for 0.21 oz at Neiman Marcus) is a gorgeous soft peach with soft gold shimmer. Like Illamasqua Excite but with gold shimmer. *Squeels* I love peach blushes, I can't get enough of them! So when I saw the light shinning on this beauty at Neiman Marcus, I had to have it.

Texture: Very soft and beautifully pigmented. Has a light rose scent, which I love. Not sure how others out feel but I love that this is scented. Fades once on the skin though.

Packaging: Sturdy plastic and comes with a mirror.

YUM!

Thanks for reading! <33

Chanel Rouge Coco in Paris

Hi everyone! Paris ($32 for 0.12 oz) is a delicious, delicious blue based red with a little pink throw in. But on me it's a straight up blue red.Truly luxurious; from the formula to the packaging. Verrrryyy long lasting! Here is the list of stuff I ate and drank today and stayed put through (please don't judge me lmao, I can put it away):


Homemade strawberry, banana, and blueberry juice
Ceasar salad
Cold Stone fudge chocolate ice cream cake, BE JELUZ.
Cup of green tea
Then...I went to Pets Mart and took a little break from all the goodies.
BUT WHEN I GOT BACK...
Butternut squash soup
THREE, yes, THREE slices from a huge sub sandwich
Acai juice from Naked
Naked Power-C machine

And THEN I had to retouch. But it was after all that. Fabulous!

Texture: Creamy and pigmented, glides like buttah.

Packaging: Very sturdy and heavy, which is how I like it. If i'm gonna pay $32 for a l/s the packaging better be flippin' awesome. I believe it's made of metal (the black part, gold part is metal) but i'm not 100% sure. Could just be very thick sturdy plastic like their normal packaging. But i'm hoping its metal.

Btw, wanna give a shout out to Biglow for making a mean vanilla chai tea that I cannot get enough of, *sips*. Totally random, I know, but that's how I roll. ;)

Thanks checking out this post! :)

Le Metier de Beaute e/s

Thanks to my lovely, lovely, loooovely friend Rachel over at http://www.makeupneversleeps.com/, I got a huge craving for Le Metier de Beaute e/s ($30 for 0.13oz). So I went over to Neiman Marcus yesterday to check them out and instantly fell in love. You all know I love my neutrals, and let me tell you, they have gorgeous neutrals. I got shadows in Canvas (light shimmery tan), Mulberry (amazing medium taupe), and Corinthian (dark taupe). As you can see they are huge! I did expect them to come with a velvet pouch though.:( Especially for the price. Would have been nice to protect the rubber packaging, which is similar to NARS. So i'll have to keep these boxed to keep from getting dirty.  
 

Top to bottom: Corinthian, Mulberry, and Canvas. *squeals*

Flash

                                             Corinthian is a pretty close dupe of Satin Taupe.

No flash

                                     You can really see here how big these shadows are.

Corinthian on bottom, Satin Taupe on top.

Got this beautiful black liner with silver micro glitter as a GWP.

See the silver glitter? *squeels*

Thanks for looking! <333

Love,

Sonia
