Beauty Wishlist!- August Closing + September Wishlist!

Hello Warriors


I am here to tell you guys how my beauty wishlist went. Click Here to see my original post on my products and goals. If you don't know what this is, it's basically every month I choose something that came out the following month that I want and I make a goal to go along with it. If I make the goal, I can buy the product.


The first product I chose was the Tarte Airbrush Powder Foundation. The goal I set for this product was to exercise everyday for at least 2 weeks. I did complete this goal! Yay! I am proud of myself. I did this through watching Blogilates. The problem is... is that I am not sure if I still want this foundation : / So I probably won't end up buying it but I will find something else to fulfil this goal, I will keep you posted.

The next thing was the Rimmel Show Off Lip Laquers. The goal I set was to read everyday of the month. I didn't complete the goal. I know! Its so simple and easy to do and I didn't do it. So I will not be getting this product this month. I may repeat it for September or chose a different product. I really wanted them but I made a promise to myself that I will only buy when I complete the goal!

 Now on to my September Wishlist...



The first is the Lancome Hypnose Mascara. Okay okay.. I know this didn't come out in August but I couldn't find anything else that was appealing to me. I have been looking at the Lancome mascaras for a while now but it's so expensive. I just chose this one because it looked cool. I honestly don't care what one I get. It is $34 CAD and $28 USD.

The goal is to blog on a schedule so I am not posting at random!



 My next product is the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks. The one in the picture is Catfight but I want any of them. I'm pretty sure this came out in August. I got a sample of Anarchy and I fell in LOVE with it so I want to try more. The lipsticks are $26 CAD or $19 USD.

The goal is to use up one of my lip products. I am being smart instead of adding, I am replacing! 







I know these goals are not very educating or helpful to my well-being but I couldn't think of anything else. I am really excited about these products. They are both very expensive but it's worth it... I guess. Haha. If you have tried any of these products be sure to let me know what you think.

Whats in the Bag? August- Closing Thoughts!

Hello Warriors



As you know for the past 2 months I did a Whats in the Bag? series, I was going to continue for a while but I realized I am not buying enough new products each month to continue! In August I bought nothing new to try in September so this will be the end of the series. But... I am still going to share my thoughts on my August products! If you want to see what products for July I had and my thoughts click here.


So for August I only had 2 products the Physician Formula Lash Boosting Eyeliner in Black and the Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Sunlight. Firstly I have to be honest, I didn't get to try out these products that much because I didn't wear makeup that often this month and if I did it was just a little concealer, powder and waterproof mascara. I probably tried each like 3-5 times... I know :( So remember to take the reviews lightly.

The eyeliner is very easy to apply which I love. I usually can't do winged liner very well but with this it's super easy. The line is very black and pigmented so you only have to go over the line once. I think it did last a long time even during the hot summer month definitely not 24 hours though. I obviously can't test if it makes your eyelashes grown because I didn't wear it enough but I highly doubt it actually works. It is kinda smudgy since the formula so wet so be careful when you first apply. As for the claim of waterproof... I didn't wear it on my eyes in water but it was on my hand and I ran it under water, it didn't smudge but it slowly started flaking off.


For the bronzer I don't have much to say.. it did give a really natural look as the name states which means it didn't really show up. I think the color is too light for me, I feel like I could use this as a powder. it has slight shimmer to it nothing super noticeable. I didn't test the waterproof claim sorry but I don't think it would last that long in water.

Final Verdict: Eyeliner would recommend for anyone, Bronzer if you have a really pale complexion if your skin is usually light or darker in foundation I would try a darker bronzer(this bronzer does have two other colors)


See you in my next post!

Whats In the Bag? July- Closing Thoughts + August Products!

Hello Warriors


Its the end of the month so it's time to give you my final thoughts on the products I chose to put in my makeup bag for July. Let's get into it...

Click here to view the description of the products and pictures!

The first product was Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Pressed Powder..  ...This powder right of the bat gives you a sunburnt look to your face if you apply just a little to much, the powder is the right shade too. It doesn't do this though if just applied over bare skin. It does give good coverage not full coverage but light to medium. It's also very matte. I don't think I would repurchase this because I wanted a powder that gave extra coverage over my foundation but I can't apply it over my foundation :\ It's good for light makeup days though :)


The next product is the Tarte Amazonian Clay Concealer...  ...This says its waterproof but its not! I went into the pool without rubbing my face and it still wore off... Big thumbs down. However it is full coverage and covers everything! Its also very easy to blend which is good for summertime when your too lazy and hot to spend a lot of time. I would repurchase it, this was the best product this month!


The final product is the Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara...  ...This mascara shouldn`t say water- resistant, it should say waterproof! This is the hardest thing to take off ever!!! One night I didn`t even bother taking it off because it was taking too long and my eyes started to hurt. NOT GOOD! It does lengthen really well but absolutely no volumizing so it made me look like I have no lashes. Would be good if layered over or under a volumizing mascara, I think. Would not repurchase, least favorite product this month!


This month I feel was a big fail... only one of the three I would buy again! Let me know your opinion of these products in the comments if you`ve tried them.


Now for Augusts Products I`m trying. This months products are very summer related again.

The products I chose are The Physicians Formula Lash Boosting Eyeliner in Black and The Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sunlight.


The Eyeliner says it boosts your lashes in 4 weeks, thats it has 24 hour wear and thats its water-resistant, smudge resistant! Hmmm...

The Bronzer says its waterproof and last for 10 hours. It also says it gives a natural bronze! Sounds good to me!





Excited to try this months products and see if they are good or not!
