Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
I love love love this palette! The colors are all matte except for VENUS which has a light shimmer. Great for under the brow Bone or the inner crease of the eye. They are very pigmented but have a slight fall out like other Urban decay eyeshadows. Still there all the colors you dream of in a Basic palette of Neutrals. I have created so many different looks using it so in my opinion this is awesome palette. Another plus is that its so small it can fit in your purse or makeup bag, Great for traveling!


Lancome subtil Blush Palette 192 Rouge Allure
Its a Contour/ Blush/ Highlighter Palette, Super Pigmented! When I first put it on I put too much LOL I had to blend it out. This color is perfect for this Spring/Summer, this was also my first time using Lancome Blushes and I wasn't disappointed. Because you only need a little bit its really going to last you a long time. The Blush is a satin blush not matte and gives you a natural glow. The color is a orange red color. GORGEOUS! I also love that the case has a nice snap to it and there is a small picture of a rose in the corner. Its lovely, one of my favorite Blushes at the moment.

Illamasqua Nail Polish in RARE
I love this polish, I usually never buy nail polishes because my mom is in the Beauty Industry and she gives me Nail polishes from OPI all the time. But I literally saw this polish and didn't think I just had to buy it. The color is beautiful, its that Neon Green yellow polish its so great for this Spring/Summer. What I like most about this polish is that you really only need two coats and the color is so bright! Great Nail Polish, I will be buying more :) The packaging is pretty too.

Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector
A serum I've been wanting to buy for a while :) The packaging is very nice, I had a sample of it several months ago, and I remember then That I really liked it then. First of all I love the smell of it and it sets in your skin quickly. I do feel that my skin is a lot softer and my pores have gotten smaller. I like it! I need to use it for a couple of months though so I need to update this review to see if it was worth the money. But so far so good, so I'll let you know. :)

Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder
 This is my second time buying this, I use this for oil and it works great! Don't put too much though because it can be over drying. The best thing about this product is that your skin looks so smooth and it makes your pores smaller :) Bottom line your skin looks great, just just buff it in areas you are most oily after applying your foundation and concealer.

Anastasia Brow Wiz
Best Brow pencil I've tried! Your brows will look so natural and its so easy to apply! I will be buying it again :)


YSL Le Taint Touche Eclate Foundation 
Honestly when I first tried it I wasn't sure that I loved it. But after a couple of times of trying it, I loved it.
It has such a natural finish to it, its like you're not wearing makeup! Its so natural you can apply a lot of coverage and it won't look cakey at all. Unlike my Chanel Aqua foundation which I liked to apply in the sunlight to avoid over doing it. I was so used to that routine that I realized I could use the YSL in any lighting and it won't look cakey. It is medium coverage so you can build it up. Its not heavy and the smell is nice. But I know a lot of people don't makeup with a scent so its best if you get a sample of this foundation and try it first. The packaging is so pretty I love that it comes with a pump. This foundation also highlights the face, I've used without a highlighter and with one. I find it best without one but I do dab a little right down my nose. Also you just want to powder on areas where you're most oily and not all over the face. Like I said, this foundation highlights and you don't want to powder the entire face. I also want to tell you one thing I don't like about this foundation. Because I have oily skin, this foundation did feel a little wet on the skin. That's my only con, I suggest if you have oily skin like mine to use Make up Forever HD Microfinish powder around the T Zone area instead of using foundation pressed or loose powder. This is my favorite new Foundation I will be purchasing it again! 5 Stars!

Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara
Best Mascara I've tried! The brush really is great and its not messy at all. A very easy application! This was my first product I've bought from Giorgio Armani. Very Impressed.

Giorgio Armani Rouge D' Armani Lipstick
I've been wanting to try their lipsticks because I loved the idea that it has a magnetic cap, its very creamy and it lasts about 4 hours. I was eating and drinking and so surprised I didn't have to re apply. Its not drying and very pigmented color. My favorite red lipstick so far. I just can't believe how long it lasted through out the day. If you haven't tried their lipsticks.. Please Do! I'm also buying their Lip Maestro, again soooo pigmented and lasts all day! They're becoming my favorite makeup brand.

Real Techniques Makeup Brushes
Saw these at Utla and was so happy. I love Pixiwoo and have been wanting to buy their brushes for while. So easy to use and to clean, makeup looks amazing! They're great brushes and I will be buying more. Best thing about them they are all like multi task, I use each brush for many things not just one, so that saves a lot of room :) No hairs have fallen off, they are synthetic brushes so you can use cream eyeshadow, liner, blush and it won't ruin the product!

OOTD "HOT FOR CHANEL?"









Hi everybody! Right now I'm sitting on the couch eating pizza and watching Mr. Bean's Holiday on tv, oh my god I'm dying of laughter!!! Hehe Anyway here is my OOTD Hot for Chanel? Fall hasn't hit me weather wise yet because its still 75-80 degrees outside. I long to be in Finland right now, I just want snow, ice, sleet...anything! But I am enjoying the trees though because the leaves have changed to a lovely orange color, and I love looking at them. Almost all the trees in downtown have Christmas lights on them, Christmas decorations in all the stores.... Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but it's like no one celebrates Thanksgiving anymore. Its nice to have a day to relax and share thoughts on what you're thankful for, oh and I have purchased some goodies the past weeks and will be on my November purchases post. Now on to the details on the OOTD. I wearing this new UNIF shirt which I can't stop wearing, I love the baggy fit (its a size small) and it just goes with everything. These pants are from Zara which you have seen me wear on some older posts but they are so comfortable and I love the print and can be dressed up or down. My heels are from Bakers, I don't own a lot of pumps but these are my favorite because of the heel but unfortunately they do hurt my feet :( I'm wearing of course my Louis Vuitton ring and my Chanel pearl earrings to go with the shirt. You notice how my makeup is more natural? I have to say its so hard to make your makeup look natural. I wanted to look more my age, more youthful.... Since my everyday makeup is a full face with burgundy lipstick on. This time I used a peach color lip gloss with nothing extreme on the eyes just mascara and light eyeliner on the water line with light pink blush on. It was nice to do this for a change. I'll put the details of the makeup below :) Bye loves!
