postheadericon Let's Contour!

MAC Cosmetics Sculpt & Shape Duo Powder








With Flash



Sculpt and Shape Powder is a split-pan, two-in-one powder with the perfect level of pigment for creating a naturally sculpted look. The deeper shade is matte, making it perfect for contouring the face and body. The lighter shade has low-level pearlized pigments, making it ideal for highlighting the high planes of the face. This non-acnegenic formula has jet-milled pigments to allow for smooth, even, silky application. Sculpt and Shape Powder contains skin conditioning agents like Wheat and Barley Extracts and is dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested.


According to Temptalia:

Warm Light is this gorgeous peachy-orange with a touch of shimmery pearl, while this is meant to highlight, I think lighter skintones could even use this as a blusher for minimal days. I love this on the eye area, though, for brightening it up. This is the “darkest” of the shaping powders.

Definitive is a semi-warm chocolate brown sculpting powder perfect for contouring on deep skin tones. I know I keep mentioning it, but I find all of the sculpting and shaping powders amazing to contour and add depth to the eye. Definitive is no different, because the finish is matte, but yet so easy to work with. Just light and like satin.

MY THOUGHTS:
I like the duo. It's very convenient to have both a highlight and contour color in the same compact. I also purchased shadowy as a contour because I couldn't tell which one would work best. The big difference is that definitive is more red based while shadowy is more brown. I personally think that definitive shows up best with little effort which is great for deep contouring.

postheadericon Torrid Memorial Day Sale!!

Like usual Torrid has their 50% off clearance sale during Memorial weekend. This year they tried to trick customers when they launched a BOGO50% off clearance yesterday. I guess they saw the clothes wouldn't sale so they quickly switched it up today!

I didn't see much of anything that I don't already own or can't get cheaper elsewhere but I have been eying one thing in particular....


Original: $34.00
Clearance: $12.49
Purchase Price: $2.49

Strike a pose with Mickey in this playful Mickey Mouse tee. Features Mickey in his famous stance with rhinestone accents on his ears.

  • Size 1 measures 31" from shoulder

  • 100% cotton

  • Machine wash

  • Imported


  • I adore Care Bears, Mickey/Minnie Mouse, and Scooby Doo. I wanted the red Minnie but it is no longer listed on the site. At least not at the time I ordered.

    I used Ebates to get 4% cash back. I used a $10 off coupon code to take $10 off the price of the shirt which is why it was only $2.49. The Diva style discount took $0.12 off. With shipping of $8.00 and tax of $0.80, my total spent was $11.17. I only wish I could have purchased in store so that I wouldn't have had to pay for shipping. Still a pretty good deal.

    postheadericon MAC Surf Baby Collection

    The Surf Baby collection from MAC is out in parts of the world and in the US for pro members. Of course I ordered!...Well I ordered what I REALLY wanted first and might go back for more later.




    Hibiscus
    Cremesheen
    Bright orange coral
    3.0 g / 0.1 US oz


    Bust Out!
    Lustre
    Dirty midtone violet
    3.0 g / 0.1 US oz
    $15.50 each


    Surf-cultured. Shine-right. Boldly floral sun-bright or delicately nude-y, these lipsticks wear their summer stripes with the cool grace of a real surfer dude. Add their white casing and there's no doubt - summer starts here.... Limited edition.

    I get 40% off with my pro discount so my lipsticks were $9.30 each.




    Strange Potion
    Soft coral pink
    4.8 g / 0.17 US oz
    $15.50


    Summer's highest, most power-charged shine...shaded for the season. Features a white cap and the vibrant striped pattern of M·A·C summer. Limited edition

    I didn't get to pick up Strange Potion with the Venomous Villains collection so I scooped it up with this one. With the discount I paid $9.30 for it.




    Paradise
    Coral w/Gold overspray
    9 g / 0.31 US oz
    $28.00

     
    Micro-fine, creamy...flatters summer skin and freckles with low-to-buildable coverage. Add a peach shade with gold hibiscus overspray and, sun or none, you're ready to glow. Oversize white compact features M·A·C Surf, Baby! logo. Limited edition.


    The cheek powder with my discount was $16.80. I plan to use it as a blush but because it is a cheek powder it might be bigger than a typical blush powder.



    My subtotal was $44.70. With tax of $4 and shipping of $7, I paid $55.70.

    postheadericon NYX Anniversary Sale!!!

    THIS SALE WAS AN EPIC FAIL AND NYX COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!!
    Just check their Facebook page!


    MOST NYX Items will be on sale for $1.20!!!



    1. When is the sale?
    Sunday, May 15th starting at 12pm (PST) to 12am (PST)
    That's 3PM EST!!!

    2. What items will be on sale?
    ALL individual items. NO SETS AND TRAIN CASES.

    Kind of confusing stated like that but it means no big palettes like the makeup artist palettes, no brush sets, no chairs, and no train cases.

    3. Is there FREE SHIPPING on purchases over $50?
    No free shipping will be issued during this event.
    Shipping will be based on Weight and Location!

    No international credit cards either. No paypal accepted.

    4. What does it mean when you say "limited of 2 of the same item per customer"?
    For example, you can purchase a maximum of 2 Single Eye Shadows in Taupe, but you can still buy another Single Eye Shadow in a different color. Just keep in mind that your maximum is 2 of each shade.


    Means you can't buy more than 2 of the same shade but you can purchase multiples of a product...for instance: you can purchase 10 eyeshadows but no more than two of one color.

     
    5. Will your team be able to respond to our inquiries during the sale?
    YES! We'll be on our Facebook page all day and night just to answer your questions!

    Doubt you will get any REAL help but post on facebook...I'm sure someone might answer your question.

    No international credit cards and no paypal accepted.

    postheadericon A total make over!

    Recently I purchased a total beauty deal which allowed me to get $25 worth of E.L.F. items for only $10. Because the deal ended up being a coupon code instead of a gift card, I really didn't save anything. I had to pay an additional $6.95 for shipping so in all I paid $16.95 for the items. Really no different than using a coupon code, so next time I wont purchase a deal like that again. Anywhoo...I did purchase some things so take a looksee...

    A picture of everything...It looks so magnificent all together like that! LOL

This liquid foundation applies easily and lasts all day for visibly brighter and radiant looking skin. Using our Flawless Finish Foundation not only restores uneven skin textures and tones, but most importantly, the SPF 15 protects your skin against harmful sun damage!

    I have to give it to ELF...I really like the fact that they actually made a foundation dark enough for me and it has a pump applicator!







    $1.00
    Drama

    Luxuriously smooth, corn silk formula provides eyes with a neutral base and an awakened brightness. The formula blends into skin for a long lasting, beautiful effect. The 4 color quad allows for both natural and dramatic looks. Mirror in compact included.




    I got this for free since I referred 3 people. I love the fact that they finally gave me something besides a facial whip as a free gift! The mirror that is included is actually under the applicator inside the compact. It is so tiny that you probably would never use it unless you had absolutely no other choice.



    I ordered another item but that item I am assuming was not in stock because it was not included. On my online account they put a note to refund my the money for it but since I used a coupon, I'm not exactly sure how it will work. I've emailed them and am awaiting a response.

    Hope you enjoyed the post!!!

    postheadericon Pearls on My Feet!...

    DSW sent me a postcard in the mail that stated I could get a free tote if I spent $24 or more. Since I loved the tote and I NEVER have a hard time finding cute shoes from there, I jumped on it! Here is what I purchased...



    $39.95
    Compare at $49.00

    Glam it up in the Versaille from Carlos by Carlos Santana! This lovely sandal can dress up a casual look!

    This flat was just toooo cute to pass up! I love that it's so girly but in a flat! Usually I see cute heels but never any flats that scream Ooh la la! These are definitely it and I can't wait to get them. They do come in two additional colors: pewter and bronze. I purchased black.

    postheadericon NATURAL HAIR

    I've never posted a pic of my natural hair but it took me 3 hours to twist my hair so I wanted to share! I am far from a hair stylist. In fact I hate doing my hair which is why I wanted to share. I think it turned out well.

    postheadericon Amour at First Sight!....

    As you may know I LOVE the Shoe Dazzle website!...For a while a particular shoe I've grown to love has been out of stock. Although I wasn't "stalking" her, I had her saved in my favorites list. To my surprise "Add to Bag" popped up! And I did just that!



    HOW TO WEAR IT
    Give me amour! She’s got sparkly gold studs on her faux suede toes.

    Amour’s got it going on, with bright aqua color-blocking and an edgy heel. Balance out your look with an understated outfit, like white wide-leg trousers and a silky top with a beribboned bow. Sparkly gold jewelry will match Amour’s studs; try a metallic chain necklace or sculptural statement ring.
     
    ABOUT THE STYLE
    Origin: Imported
    Fit: ¼ size small
    Color: Aqua
    Heel Height: 4” heel*
    Platform: 1” platform*
    Description: Studded faux suede platform pump
     
    *measurements are approximate and may vary by size
     
    The shoe is absolutely beautiful. I have seen the shoe on different sites for twice as much as I paid so I got quite a good deal! All items on the site are $39.95 each but I got 20% off bringing mine down to $31.96 including free shipping and no tax.

    postheadericon It's Fergilicious!...

    I went back to CityChicOnline.com and made another purchase because the mint dress I received arrived damaged...=[...I really thought it was adorable too! Anyways...I was able to order a new dress for cheaper this time around.

    Was: $72.00
    Now: $20.00

    DESCRIPTION:


    Looking for that pretty, feminine and comfortable dress? Found! The contrast lace fergie dress is feminine, chic and beautiful. It looks great with black or white high heels and also looks super cute with a pair of ballerina flats.
     
    I thought this dress was totally summer appropriate and will come in handy for memorial day weekend! Along with the hat I purchased from LB! The dress was on clearance for $20 but I used a code to take 30% off which took it down to $14. Free shipping and no tax made that the final price.

    Control-top tights provide a smooth, slimming look and are perfect under skirts and tunics. Pull-on elastic waist styling with cotton-lined crotch

    Anyhoo...That's my summer luvin haul from the infamous LB!
