Merry Christmas Beautifuls'!!! I wanted share with you guys what's in my versatile makeup bag. My makeup bag is pack with lots of makeup for all different kind of occasions. (I know it is a lot lol) I always try my best to condense my makeup bag when traveling but I always end up carrying this much makeup. So let me tell you what I carry in my Mary Poppin's makeup bag...

-Urban Decay Naked
-Urban Decay Gunmetal Palette
(Theses are all condensed in the baby blue unni case)
-Cargo Bronzer
-Physician Formula Finishing powder
-Maybelline Rocket Waterproof mascara
-Maybelline Falsies Waterproof mascara
-Urban Decay Naked Basic Palette
-Tarte Blush
-Cargo Foundation
-Philosophy 27 Wishes
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
-K-palette Trio Eyeshadwo Palette
-K -palette Rice Finishing Powder
-K-palette Lip Wrap Treatment
-Pur mineral blushes & Cargo blush (All in the Lavendar unni case)

Yepp...I have to admit I do carry a lot of makeup for a single person. For me, I feel like it is  better to carry all of it and not leaving one behind. Because if I don't bring them all, I would potentially be moaning throughout the day wishing I should have of brought the makeup with me. (Been there & Certainly do not want that to happen again) I would have to say theses products are the main essentials in my makeup collection that I use. I use these products on a regular basis. I also have a drawer full of drugstore and high-end eye-shadows that I use when I am home with my makeup collection if not I use the ones above. I have my Urban Decay Naked for almost 3 years and I really did not put a dent in it at all, besides one color. I have been restraining myself from buying anymore eye-shadows & makeup for awhile and it is really hard. I have pledge to use and finish my makeup before buying anymore since I have plenty that would last for awhile. I have been itching to buy the Urban Decay Naked 3. The palette is so pretty and it is calling my name to purchase it..lol I did not buy it but I believe I will be getting it in the near-future.

Let's share what's in the makeup bag??? Do you have a problem like I do? lol

Merry Christmas!!!

Hello Beautiful! I just wanted to share a very simple & fast DIY Headband Organizer I made. So I had a lot of headbands all in a little cut out box I made just to put them all in one place until I saw on youtube, how to make an organizer but mine is more unique. lol It fits more than 10 headbands so it fit quite alot.

Materials Needed:

- Oatmeal, Lipton Cylinder Container
- 2 Sheets of Scrap paper
- Glue Stick
- Ribbon (Optional)

1. I removed the oatmeal out of the jar and placed them in a ziploc bag or it can be left in the container to weigh down the container, but I like to put other things in the container...it is almost like a hidden chamber
2. Measure the scrap paper against the container and cut off the access, be very generous with the glue and slobber it all over the back side of the scrap paper, to ensure that the paper will not peel off
3. I placed a ribbon on top to add a more decor look to it, it is optional for this part, but I have to say it is pretty cute.

Good Luck!! Show your creative side by sharing a pic...

 BAREMINERAL LIPSTICK: BAVARIAN $18


I really am not a fan of lipstick that much. I would prefer tinted balm like the Revlon Just Bitten or lip tints. I just don't like the fact that I have to reapply every time. I decide to give it a try. It is a super pretty mauve color. The staying power is not so great. Kissing, Eating or simply wiping my lip gently makes the color fade away.

THEBODYSHOP LIPSTICK: COLOUR CRUSH $12.50
CHUIEEGLAM RATING: *
PRICE: $$$

It also goes for the Body Shop Lipstick. It was such a waste of money for me. The sale associate lied to me. She said that this is a new formula lipstick and it has staying power. Also I happen to mention about the Revlon Just Bitten. I asked her if it was comparable to it and she said yes. I went on her word. She just bull crap her way so I would just buy it. In that case, I would also like to mention that I will not be trusting any sale associate at The Body Shop.

Overall, lipstick is not my cup of tea. THE END OF LIPSTICK FOR ME....

Hello Sunshines! This is probably the 2nd biggest drugstore makeup purchase I have made since April. I purchase this last week when Rite Aid had it's makeup sale and makeup clearance. The only thing I purchased at CVS are the Milani items. Rite Aid and CVS were having the BOGHO sale. As for the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Balm I only purchased 8 since I already had Honey and Sweetheart. I was sold by the two that I already had. I also got 3 Sally Hansen nail growth miracle. I also picked up a large jar of Coconut Oil from Sam's Club. I just wanted to included it in with this haul. The Almay eye makeup remover was given to me buy my aunt. I also got 3 things at the body shop. Two mini body butter, they are great for purse or travel. I got one in shea butter and lily I think that is what it is called. I also got a Honeymania bar. The sale associate said she swears by it. So I wanted to see for myself what so great about it. The Shiseido samples were given to me by my mum since she does not like wearing makeup. The reviews are coming shortly after this post :)

Body Butter Sensation Galore! I have to say I went a little crazy on body butter at the Body Shop. I had two more but I gave them away as gifts. Peach and Lily is the ones I gave away. But anyway, I just remember they had an amazing sale that day and also I had a coupon,$15 off purchase of $50 from my previous purchase. So don't throw away those receipts when you shop at the body shop. I believe I bought 6 body butter for like $25. The price range is somewhere around there. So far I only made one dent, I been using the Shea butter and it is super moisturizing. It is also the one that has the most natural ingredients in the formula since the Peach, Lily and etc are mostly artificial. I'm not saying I gave away bad products to my friends. The Body Shop store carries natural ingredients in their beauty products. Either way, I stay away from parabens, sulfates, phthalates. Theses are really bad chemicals that are mostly in beauty products. So be a look out for them when purchasing beauty products. I'm getting off topic again back to the Body Shop, the body butters are amazing and smell so good. I can really get high off the smell. (not like I would lol) The lily and the peach smelled so delicious. But I have to say some of the body butter flavors were a bit overbearing for me since some of the smell were really strong, too sweet of a smell, etc.... I would recommend trying one of the body butter especially shea butter, really amazing. The butter absorbs into your skin once you apply it. It doe not leave your skin greasy either.

The hand cream is also really moisturizing, it is a pretty thick cream so a little goes a long way. It does however leaves your hand a bit on the greasy side. However it is really moisturizing though.

Have anyone tried the body butter or the hand cream, how did you like it?

I have been wanting to do a review about the Milani Liquid Eye liquid like eye liner pencil and the eye tech extreme. This is my second purchase of the buying the same eyeliner. This is probably going to be my go to eyeliner. The top swatch is the Milani  Liquid Eye liquid like eye liner pencil and the bottom swatch is the Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Eye Liner. The top swatch is much more matte compared to the eye tech extreme. I really love both of them. They are both long lasting. It is waterproof and smudge proof. The Milani Liquid Eye budges a little after a long day use. I typically like to apply the eyeliner on the top and not on the bottom. The Milani Liquid like eye liner pencil smudge just a little under my eyes. I was okay with it since it gave me a smokey eye look but other than that the claims are pretty accurate. The Milani Eye Tech Extreme is also really amazing. The one thing that I do not like it the tip. I was the application was more like the Koji Eyeliner. As for Milani Liquid Eye Liner Pencil, when I sharpen the pencil there are like these sharp edges and I had no idea about it. So when I applied the eyeliner I had this sharp point almost poke my eye out. I do not know if it is the pencil sharpener or eyeliner pencil itself. This is a great eyeliner and affordable for Frugal Beauty geeks like myself.

Does anyone else have this issue..?

PROs:
-Waterproof
-Smudge proof
-Easy to Remove with Makeup Remover
-Super Pigmented
-Pencil eyeliner is super creamy & smooth

CONs:
-Tip application but it is not that bad (Eye Tech Eyeliner)

Milani Liquid Eye liquid like eye liner pencil $9.49

I felt like being sort of a handyman and I saw a really cute shoe organizer on pinterest. I wanted to make a replica of the shoerack. I have successfully made the shoerack but I should have made the slots a bit larger since my shoes are a bit larger than normal. I am a size 13 in women's. Ya so I am a bit out of the norm. I would suggest measuring out your shoes before making the cut. My shoes stick out of the slots but it is okay. I am still proud of my creation. I did this project on my own but I would suggest to have a buddy to help. It will be quicker. It took me two whole days to finish this project. The paint job was another day also. So being patient is a key for this project. It took a long time to find how to make this project but I found it. I used this youtube channel better homes and followed the exact directions.

Also this does not have to be a shoerack it can be used for other storage, so it is very versatile.

Good Luck! :)

Completed Project

Hello Beautifuls! Recently I had to buy more eyeliner since I was running low on my Maybelline Precise Eyestudio Eyeliner and I wanted to try the Milani liquid eye liner and extreme tech so I happen to see them at CVS on sale BOGHO. (Buy one get half off) After using it for a week I have to say one of the best drugstore eyeliners. It is super black and waterproof and smudgeproof which I always look for in an eyeliner. I already purchase another set of them for backup. I believe this is going to be my go to eyeliner now. I have to say that the Maybelline Precise Eyestudio Eyeliner does not hold up to Milani's standard. Milani's eyeliner is better from my experience. I have a makeup crush with Milani right now...
I also happen to pick up La Roche Posay sunscreen spf 60 at Rite aid on the clearance rack for around $5 dollars. This sunscreen usually runs for about $30 dollars. I checked the expiration bottle and the packaging before purchasing since I was a bit skeptical on why it was on clearance. I was thinking someone probably opened. I checked it throughly and decided to purchase it. The bottle was not used at all. I have not used it yet since I like to use higher spf in the summer time so that won't be open until I use up my Shisedo sunscreen spf 38. I picked this amazing sunscreen up at Marshall for about $20 bucks compared to going to Macy's and purchasing it for $40. I also checked the expiration date and packaging and it was completely sealed. I am currently using this product right now. The consistency of the sunscreen is like watered down lotion. It looks like watery milk. Every time using the sunscreen shaking the bottle up is a must. This sunscreen is a bit greasy. When I apply this on my face it looked like I just worked out. After I apply the sunscreen I apply my foundation and set my face with powder to reduce the shine. It works this way but my face is usually oily and by the evening time my face is like a grease ball. And the shine is like gleaming this time. No joke lol.. So I don't think I would repurchase this after finishing this product. The sunscreen that I love using is the one that feels like it just soaks right into your face. The one that I used that does that before is the Loreal Derma Expertise Vita-e with spf 30. I purchase that twice. I loved that sunscreen but I needed a higher spf for the summer since I spend my days outside in the beaming hot sun.
Last product to review for the day is the Argan Oil of Morocco. I recently got my hair dyed professionally at the hair salon and my hair is super dry at the ends. I also had a $2 dollar coupon so I paid around $3 for this product which is great. It does hydrate my dry ends which is a plus. The health of my hair feels more hydrated and filled with moisture after using the Argan oil. I am also trying a method with coconut oil and it is very hydrating for my ends. I am going to do a review about coconut oil soon.

 Empties of the month of August-October. I know I am a bit late but I am trying to become more punctual. For this month I finished the Vidal Sassoon Shampoo for color haired, Dickinson Foaming Facial Cleanser and Dickinson Witch Hazel Toner, Dr. Dennis Gross All in one Cleaning Foam and the Revlon Powder Pact Medium.

My thoughts...
Vidal Sassoon Shampoo 
-This shampoo is great for colored hair this is my second purchase, it is very moisturizing and hydrating for my dyed color hair. I usually wash my hair every other day due to my oily head. After washing my hair with Vidal Sassoon Shampoo my hair feels really soft and hydrating but then the next day the ends of my hair feels like I fried it with a straightener. It is super dry and my hair feels super fake, it almost feels like Barbie's hair but worst. (Barbie doll) I also used the conditioner of the vidal sassoon after shampooing but I usually don't use the conditioner since the shampoo seems to detangle and moisturizes my hair.

Dickinson Foaming Facial Cleanser
-This is also my 2nd time purchasing this facial cleanser. I love this face wash so much I bought another one and I am waiting for the next sale on Dickinson's products' at Walgreens to purchase this again. It is a super gentle face wash and helps with my acne. I had less breakouts while using this. The face wash is not over-drying and great for my sensitive skin. The cleanser is also super foamy so half of the pump or one pump is more than enough. After cleaning your face, it feels super clean and your skin is not dried up. This cleanser is almost comparable to Cetaphil but cheaper and all natural.

Dickinson Witch Hazel Toner
-I also purchase this to go along with the Dickinson Facial Foaming Wash. This toner works great but I would prefer the original. It is very soothing and refreshing when applying. There is something different between the two though. The smell is not as strong as the original. However it did pick up the left over  residue that remained on my face after washing.

Revlon Powder Pact Color:Light/Medium
-This powder was great for setting my foundation and reducing my oily face. It is not a one time deal meaning you can not just apply to it once, there has to be more than one application throughout the day especially if your face is oily as mine. My skin type is combo to oily skin so my face becomes oily in like the afternoon so I have to reapply. This powder is also great if you have one of those days the no kind of makeup day but would like to put some life in your face from sleepy face to bright face. It would help since it is a tinted powder pact. Overall I would purchase this again but in the meantime I am trying to finish using up my japanese finishing powder.

Girl say what! Yes I went skydiving with friends and family. It was amazing and the view was so pretty. I just wanted to give a thoroughly review about the event to share the amazing experience I had.


Before leaving to head out to the skydive center, make sure to eat a light breakfast, lunch or what ever your time is schedule for the event. We schedule at noon but we left at 10 a.m since it took an hour to get there and we had to be at least 30 minutes earlier for your party. Also I add an extra 30 minute, just in case of traffic, getting lost and etc. 

We stopped by to get breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. I had the light and toasty sandwich with coffee..yummm

When we arrived at the place we parked and saw signs that read "Stay put we will pick you up soon" something like that so we waited and a little trolley vehicle came by to pick us all up and they took us back to the skydiving area. Before going skydiving you have to fill out some liability forms and information through ipads. The ipads were lagging so bad and sometimes we had to start from scratch which was a pain. After the completion of the liability forms, payment was next, after that the real fun begins. We had a group of 10-12 people so each one of us was strapped up with a harness. It looked durable and very hefty so I somewhat felt secure. The majority of us got the video package since it was our first time. Since the plane only can take two at a time we all partnered up. 

I however went with my little brother and let me tell you, he was raving that he wanted to jump out first but when it was time to get in the plane he bailed out so quickly from going first. So to play it fair I said let's do rock paper shoot best out of 3. I ended up losing and of course I was going first. Before entering are instructor asked us some interview questions for the video. 




My brother and his instructor entered the plane first since they were going second. The plane was small. It barely fit all of us... Nothing else was told to us and that is what freaked me out abit. Also to mention that we were NOT ATTACHED to are instructor yet, which was a bit scary. We where flying up and I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my body. There was some turbulence which was scaring the crap out of me. I was gripping on to the sides of the plane. As we were reaching the elavation level the instructor attached me to his harness and he was instructing me all the information before jumping out and after. He reassured me that I am safe and it made feel alittle better jumping out the plane. As he opened the door, it was so scary looking down from the plane. I was instructed to place both my feet on the platform outside of the plane I only put one out on the platform and I froze from shock. In my head, "What was I thinking, Crazy?" However I did manage to get my other feet on the platform and before I knew it we were free falling. Lets rewind a bit, I told my instructor to count to three before we jumped out of the plane that did not happen what so ever. So ladies and gentlemen don't even ask because they will not do it. It was scary and the googles that they provide did not help. You free fall for about a 100 ft before the shoot is pulled. When he pulled for the shoot it is like get a giant wedgie. The scene was amazing tho. It was super pretty. So the instructor unstrap somethings from me and I was freaking the sheeezz out because I was like, "What are you doing?" Then he replies, "I am making it a little more comfortable for you." And I was like, " I am comfy already no need." LOL First of all if someone was unstrapping you 700 ft up the air and not telling what the hell he is doing, it would probably freaks you out a bit. But he did make it a little more comfortable. So for the landing part, the instructor tells you specific what to do. I had to put both of my legs to almost a 90 degree up in the air. It was like a big slide on the grass and a super super bad wedgie is coming your butt too, no joke unless you don't wear underwear, then you nasty. 



After I stood up and my friends and cousins came down to ask how it was. I was a hot mess after the skydiving experience but it was definitely worth the while. I would have to say free falling is the best experience of the skydiving part. Ever skydive before? Share you experience with us?
