Favorite Movies

1. Heaven Is For Real: This is based on a true story about a little boy who said he went to heaven when he was having a serious operation and might have died. This is a drama. I usually don't like movies like this because I don't want to cry. Sometimes I feel like movies try to manipulate your emotions to get you to cry, and I don't appreciate that. I didn't cry in this movie, but be warned it might make you cry. Nobody believes the little boy. But he knows things that how could a four year old boy know? I don't want to give anything away. It is just a really good movie. I will see it again when it is available to rent. Greg Kinnear does an amazing job as the father. There is some great acting in this. And the little boy is so cute!

2. Blended: This is a romantic/comedy. This is perfect for a date. I thought it was really funny. I heard it didn't get good reviews, but normally Adam Sandler movies don't get good reviews. I love Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. I like the other two movies they were in together. It starts off where they are on a blind date and it goes horrible wrong. Then somehow they both end up at a family vacation in Africa together with their children. There are a lot of funny characters. I thought it was a sweet movie.

Nail Favorites

1. Essie Nail Lacquer in Fashion Playground: I wore this color a lot this month. I just love the minty green color on the nails for some reason. 

These are two different nail polishes, but they look very similar. The middle finger is lighter and it is limited edition. The one on the right is permanent and is a little darker.

2. Essie Nail Lacquer in Turquoise & Caicos: This may be a dupe for the Fashion Playground. You don't need both colors. The Turquoise & Caicos polish is a better quality nail polish. It isn't as streaky as Fashion Playground.

3. Beauty Secrets Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover: You can't tell from the picture because it is laying side ways, but this is half way gone. I went to Sally's Beauty Supply Store, and asked what would be a good nail polish remover that wasn't hard on the nails, and they recommended one with out Acetone. Acetone is good to remove glitter nail polish, but if you are wearing regular polish it is good to use a non-acetone remover. 

Hair Favorite

Aussie Catch the Wave Mousse + Leave-In Conditioner: This is a flexible hold. You put this in your hair when it is wet and scrunch the hair. If you have wavy hair like me, it will help make your hair wavy and leave it that way. I think this does a good job. This will get you beachy hair. I like to use a clipless wand and curl the hair when it is dry to add to the curly effect. 

Skin Favorites

1. Freeman Facial Exfoliating Scrub Pink Grapefruit: I mentioned this in my May Empties post. I used a sample of this and I loved it. I couldn't find it in the stores, so I had to buy it online, but it was inexpensive. It has tiny beads to exfoliate, so it works really well, and I love the smell of Pink Grapefruit! This is very refreshing. I use it once a week to exfoliate my face.

2. Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub in Coconut and Lime: I heard that this was Elle Fowler's favorite body scrub. It smells very tropical and refreshing. I used this once a week to exfoliate my body. My skin feels so smooth! This didn't last very long. I would repurchase a scrub from Tree Hut. I ordered this from Ulta I think, but I saw you can buy Tree Hut from Fred Meyers. This is a good quality scrub.

Beauty Favorites

1. Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honeymoon: I mixed this with Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink, which is a pigmented peachy-pink color. This adds a pink glow to it and it looks so pretty on the face. I liked this so much I used it several times, and I normally change my blush pretty often. Wet 'n Wild Pearlescent Pink is a dupe for NARS Orgasm and Hard Candy Honeymoon is a dupe for MAC's Shy Beauty Beauty Powder. 

2. Benefit High Beam: This is a really pretty highlighter. I got a little sample size I think from my Benefit Advent Calendar. It isn't glittery, it just gives a natural glow to the face.

3. L'Oreal Colour Riche Eye Shadow in 839 Cupa Joe: This isn't very pigmented, but sometimes you don't really want the eyeshadows to be very pigmented on the eyes. This is a nice neutral palette.

4. NYX Butter Gloss in Maple Blondie: This is a really pretty coral lip gloss. It is very pigmented. It smells like cupcakes.

5. Pacifica Solar Complete Mineral Palette: I think this is a nice beach palette. It has 3 highlighters at the top. On the left is a blush and the right is a bronzer. Then there are six eyeshadows. It is an all natural palette. I ordered it off of Pacifica's website. The colors are really pretty.

6. Sephora Disney Storylook Ariel Palette: I really love my Sephora Cinderella palette, so I decided to get the Ariel and Jasmine palettes off of E-Bay. The Jasmine palette hasn't arrived yet. The Ariel palette has really great quality eyeshadows. And I like the Disney movies. I think the packaging is beautiful.

7. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal: I don't think they make this anymore. This is a really pretty nude lip gloss. It is a dupe for NARS Turkish Delight.

September Favorites

1. Benefit They're Real Mascara

I have heard this talked about for so long. I didn't want to buy it because I knew it was a high end mascara and I like to buy the mascaras from the drugstore. Well, this month was my birthday and I got a birthday present from Sephora. They gave me this little sample mascara and a sample benefit highlighter. I understand now what all the hype was about. This is a really good mascara. I'm not going to buy the full size, but I enjoy this little sample.

2. Hard Candy Blotting Papers

I keep this in my beauty bag and take it to work with me everyday. During my break I blot my face with a tissue and put powder on. I have combination skin. Sometimes it is oily, sometimes it is dry, and sometimes in areas it is both. These are handy papers to have and I don't think they were expensive. I got them at Walmart.

3. Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector

When I was on Sephora's website shopping for my birthday presents, they let me pick out some samples. I chose this deluxe size sample primer. It lasted almost the whole month. I used up all of it. It is a good primer. Again, I wouldn't purchase it because it more expensive then I like to spend. I have other primers I need to finish, and when I get a primer next I will get one from the drugstore.

4. Stila In The Light Palette

This is something I got for my birthday. I love this palette! The eyeshadows are so pigmented and good quality. I had heard people talk about it on Youtube, so I have been curious about it. It has the eyeshadow "Kitten" which is also very popular. It is a beautiful shadow. I did a blog post about this, this month with different looks I found that I liked. I'm happy I got this. I also got Stila's In The Garden Palette, which I plan on doing a blog post about too.

5. Argan Oil and Coconut Oil

I got this tip from pinksofoxy http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg9f9knI31hrUYBN8ey0m6Q She is someone I subscribe to on Youtube. She uses natural oils on her face, body, and hair. For her hair she puts 3 drops of coconut oil in her hand and 5 drops of argan oil and rubs her hands together and puts it on her hair, avoiding the roots. I've been doing this, this month and I think it is a good treatment. It helps my hair not be so frizzy. It also smells good. With the coconut oil it comes in a solid form so I put some in the microwave for 20 seconds and let it melt, then I use a dropper to put on my hand.

6. Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner

This is another thing inspired by pinksofoxy. She uses this in the shower. It smells so good. I happened to see this in the organic section at my local Fred Meyers. I remember pinksofoxy talk about it, so I decided to get it. It isn't expensive. There are no sulfates. It makes my hair feel so good! I love this stuff! It also makes my hair smell good. The conditioner makes my hair really silky.

7. Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Perfecting Primer

I think I mentioned the original primer in a monthly favorites before. I like that one too. I wanted to try the other kinds of primer. There is a skin correcting one and a lumanizing one. This one is the skin correcting one. This is what the back of the tube says, "Perfecting primer evens out skin tone and creates a flawless, smooth finish to skin. Fills in fine lines, wrinkles, and pores." I used this after I finished with the Becca primer. I like this primer just as much as the Becca one. I don't see it even out my skin tone, but I do notice it makes a smooth finish on my skin for before I apply foundation. This reminds me of the original one. I can't really tell a difference. The lumanizing one I can tell is more shiny, so I have to be careful with that one so I don't make my skin look too oily.

8. Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Pink

I mentioned the Happy Booster Blush in Natural in another monthly favorites. I like this blush too. It is a cool pink, almost matte. I think I have warm coloring, and this looks good on me. When I want to wear a pink blush, I reach for this. It smells good too! I love the little hearts. Physicians Formula seems to always have the cutest packaging. It reminds me of Asian makeup because there are a lot of cute packaged makeup from Asia. I wish more companies had cute packaging in America. I have several blushes from this line. I think it's good quality.

9. Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Sunset

This blush is so beautiful! I have mentioned in another monthly favorites the Sonia Kashuk blush in flushed. It is more of a pink. This is a coral. It is one of my all time favorite blushes. It is a great formula too. Sonia Kashuk can be found at Target. It is more on the expensive side, but it is worth it. At least for the blush. I think the brand gets mixed reviews.

10. DIY Makeup Brush Spot Cleaner

I have been using this brush cleaner I got at Fred Meyers for awhile, but I always run out of it and I feel like I could save money if I made my own. I looked it up on Youtube and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5X27Yl1Oss. It is really easy to make you just need baby shampoo, a squirt bottle, and rubbing alcohol. Then the way I use it is I squirt some on a paper towel and clean my brushes with it after I'm done doing my makeup. This has come in handy for me, and it works really well. It disinfects and conditions the brushes.

11. ScentSationals Pumpkin Spice

Now that it is fall, I got some fall wax scents at Walmart. They are only $2! I fill my room with the pumpkin scent. Ohhhhhhh! It smells so wonderful! My mom wants to know what I'm baking. xD I actually don't like pie, but I love the smell of pumpkin pie. You only need a little piece of the wax and it will last for days!

Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette: Red Carpet Contour

This is the third look from the Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette. I don't think I will ever go to a red carpet event. I guess if I were to go to a fancy restaurant, maybe I would do this look.

These are the products that I used. I would say the brightener and the luminizer are good dupes. The rest is just what looks good on me. You can use whatever looks good on your skin coloring.

Brightener: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory

Concealer: Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Light. The Hard Candy goes better on pimples and redness, rather than under the eye.

Bronzer: Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Medium Deep

Luminizer: The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer

Cream Blush: NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Natural

This is the link to the face chart, so you can see it for yourself: https://www.toofaced.com/p-1324-the-secret-to-no-makeup-makeup-fresh-flawless-face-palette.aspx

1. Concealer: under eyes

2. Brightener: lower, middle of forehead, sides of eyes, c shape around eyes, under eyebrows, under the concealer, above the arch of the brow

3. Luminizer: down the nose, cupid's bow, under lip

4. Bronzer: most of the forehead, perimeter of the face, sides of nose

5. Cream Blush: apples of cheeks (I don't put the blush there. I put it under the Iris and sweep it up to the sides of my eyes.)

My Thoughts: It looks pretty natural to me. The only thing that I will say is odd is the top half of the forehead has bronzer on it and the bottom half has the brightener. That looks kind of strange to me, but maybe I blended it well enough so no one will notice. I'm used to putting highlighter down the nose and cupid's bow. The brightener I normally wear under my eyes, and I like to use that better than my concealer. What I am using for the brightener is also a concealer. The bronzer I am used to putting it around the jaw line and sides of the nose. I don't do that every time I put on makeup, but I do it sometimes.

Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette: Nude Radiance

So this is the second look from the Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette. I don't have the palette, I'm just copying the card that is on the Too Faced website: https://www.toofaced.com/p-1324-the-secret-to-no-makeup-makeup-fresh-flawless-face-palette.aspx.

First, I put on primer (Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Illuminating Primer) and then foundation (Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup). You can use whatever primer or foundation you like to use.

1. Concealer: I used Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Light. You can use whatever concealer is good for you. On the diagram it is hard to read, but I think they have concealer in the inner corners of the eyes (tear ducts), and sides of nostrils. It looks like this look uses more concealer than the last one.

2. Bronzer: I matched their bronzer to Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in Vegas Strip / Light Bronzer. I'm not going to use this because it was too shimmery. I'm going to use the contour powder I was matched with at a Mac counter, Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Medium Deep. It is my right contour shade, and there are no shimmers. A cheaper alternative if you have my skin tone (very fair) is NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny or NYX Bronzer & Blusher Combo in Ibiza. This look calls for less bronzer, than the last look did. It says to put the bronzer above the eyebrows, down the nose, bottom of chin, and across the face. Imagine there is an invisible triangle under each eye, and don't put bronzer in the triangle.

3. Brightener: I used Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory. The picture shows a triangle under each eye. I honestly can't see a difference when I do this. Maybe if I used the Too Faced one I would see the difference.

4. Lumanizer: I used The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer. You could use Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tiki (it is a good dupe). The chart says to put this under the eyebrows, cupid's bow, center of chin, and corners of the mouth. I don't know why they would put it on the corners of the mouth. I could be reading the chart wrong. I think in real life the cards are easier to read. You can see the colors better. On the website, I have to sort of tilt my computer at a weird angle to try to see where the colors are. Maybe the concealer goes on the corners of the mouth. I'm not sure!

5. Powder Blush: I used Maybelline Pinch 'o Pink. This may have been discontinued. The Too Faced blush looks like a natural pink color. I'm sure a lot of blushes could dupe this. I don't put the blush where the chart says to put it. Look at my first Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette post for how to figure out where to put your blush (if you are interested).

My Thoughts: Overall, it is a pretty look. It is a good way to start off your make up. I'm not going to stop there though. I'm still going to put on eyeshadow, mascara, and lip gloss.

Tomorrow I will do the "Red Carpet Contour."

Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette: Wake Up Makeup

Too Faced has come out with a new face palette! It is called, "No Makeup Makeup: The Secret To No Makeup Makeup Fresh & Flawless Face Palette." (It has a long name!) It comes with a bronzer, powder blush, cream blush, luminizer, brightener, and concealer. It also has 3 face charts. I love the face charts because it gives me great ideas on how to do my makeup. You can see swatches of the makeup on this blog: http://iamthemakeupjunkie.blogspot.com/2012/12/review-too-faced-boudoir-beauty-spring.html. The Too Faced website has the face charts you can zoom in on. There is a diagram and a model with the look: https://www.toofaced.com/p-1324-the-secret-to-no-makeup-makeup-fresh-flawless-face-palette.aspx

First I tried to dupe the palette. This is the best I could do with the makeup that I own. Really you could use whatever makeup you like the best and apply it to the face charts! I will tell you if I think I got a good dupe, or if it isn't so great. I'm going off of the photos from the makeup junkie's blog.

Bronzing Veil: Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Vegas Strip / Light Bronzer. I think this is a good dupe. It also is said to be a dupe for Mac's Soft and Gentle!

Powder Blush: Maybelline Pinch O'Pink. I think this is a good dupe. I hope it hasn't been discontinued. I have had this blush for a long time. I can't find it on the website. They have fit me blushes now. The swatch looks like a matte, pink blush.

Creme Blush: NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Natural. This isn't a good dupe. All of my pink cream blushes are too dark to match the Too Faced one. This is the lightest shade of pink cream blush I own. It is really pretty though, so if you bought it you wouldn't be disappointed.

Luminizer: The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer or Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tiki. The Hard Candy isn't really a bronzer. I don't know why they call it that. It is definitely a highlighter. These are good dupes for the Too Faced one.

Brightener: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Ivory. This is a good dupe.

Concealer: The one in the swatch looks too dark for me. So I'm going with a concealer that is good for my skin coloring. My favorite is Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Light.

On the palette it says, "Let them think you wake up perfectly pretty." (On the Boudoir Eyes Palette it says, "Be fiercely feminine in the bedroom and beyond." lol!)

"We've designed our palettes and signature glamour guide to take the guess work out of getting gorgeous. These three looks will get you started, but don't stop there! Once you've mastered them, keep playing! It's fun to be a girl!"(It says the same thing on the Boudoir Eyes Palette.)

There are three looks, so I'm going to do a separate blog post on each look and say my reaction. For this first look I really like it. Don't forget to put your foundation on before doing the look! (If your face needs foundation.) I would put powder on afterward on the places where you need it.

Wake Up Makeup

1. Concealer: The picture is hard to read on the website, but I think the concealer is placed under the eye, just a little bit in the corner. The concealer looks good. It is not too much. It is enough for me. Maybe for other people they would want to put more concealer on.

2. Bronzing Veil: All around the hair line and most of the forehead. Then a strip from the middle of the forehead all the way down the nose. I have always thought you put the bronzer on the sides of the nose. I guess this just gives a sun kissed look. Then it looks like you put the bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks and the middle of your chin. It does give a pretty glow to the face! This bronzer is very light, so it is good for people who are really pale like me.

3. Lumanizer: I used the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush because I wanted a little fluffy brush to do this detail. I put some on the tip of my nose, cupid's bow, sides of my eyes, under and above my eye brows. I think it looks really pretty!

4. Cream Blush: I love this blush. In the diagram it looks like they put the blush on the apples of the cheeks, but I have heard that this isn't a good place to put your blush unless you have a certain type of face shape. My face is full, so it looks best when I put my blush centered under the iris and at an angle toward my temples. If I put them on my apples (which I used to do), it just makes my face look fatter. :( Here is a good blog post/video on finding what is your face shape: http://themakeupchair.blogspot.com/2012/09/face-shape.html

This is a really good post for seeing where to put blush on your face shape: http://themakeupchair.blogspot.com/2012/09/faceshape.html

My Thoughts: Overall, I think this is a really pretty look. I'm going to put on eyeshadow and lipstick, but this is a good way to start out the face. It looks very natural.

December Favorites

I'm not going to say the year has gone by so fast because for me it hasn't. It was a good year though. I'm not complaining. I just feel like it has been a year. I'm happy that 2013 starts tomorrow! I'm going to  try to be really good on my diet, and lose a lot of weight. I think if I am so into beauty, I would focus more on eating well and exercising than on makeup. I look better in my face when I am thinner. I'm not saying this because I'm acting like everybody in the new year. I really do need to lose weight! I'm not in denial. xD Anyway, here are my December favorites.

1. Splenda! That is right! I found a very amazing beauty trick this month. One day I was putting on my foundation and the skin around my forehead was really dry. I didn't understand why this was because I had moisturized my skin. I asked my question on Yahoo! Answers. I got a lot of replies very quickly. Some people said I needed to wash my face before putting on makeup. I knew that wasn't right because I always did that. Some people said I needed to moisturize, I knew that wasn't right because I did moisturize. Some people said my skin was dry and I needed to use a different foundation. Even though patches of my skin were acting dry, I didn't think my whole face was dry. I think I have combination skin on my face. But one person suggested I exfoliate those areas of my face using either sugar or something else (I forget what it was.) I decided to do this. I used a Splenda sugar pack and water. It felt sort of weird, but I scrubbed on the areas of my face that were acting odd. Then I washed and moisturized my face like normal. My foundation went on like a dream! It was dead skin, that was why my foundation wasn't going on right on those areas. I guess by now I should already know this secret. But I didn't. Maybe it is new for you too. My skin hasn't done that since I exfoliated which was about a week ago, so it lasts a long time.

2. Real Techniques Buffing Brush: I got this brush awhile ago with a collection of face brushes called Your Base/Flawless Core Collection by Real Techniques. I got this at Fred Meyers. I don't remember what gave me the idea to use this for a powder brush. It is small and so soft! It fits nicely under my eyes for when I want to set my under eye concealer. I have really been loving it, and decided to share it in a favorite.

3. Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Illuminating Primer: I have mentioned the original Hard Candy primer in a favorite blog already. That one works good too. I wanted to try this one because it says it was illuminating, so I was curious how that would look. It doesn't leave my face looking really shiny. It is just a really nice primer. It makes my skin look nice. It is inexpensive. I found it at Walmart. I used this 30 days this month!

4. ORLY Nail Lacquer in Ingenue: This is a beautiful rose gold color. I heard about it on a Youtube video (I don't remember which one). It looked pretty, so I ran out to buy it. I wore this at the beginning of the month.

5. Aczone: I got a bunch of little samples of this from my dermatologist. It is an ointment to put on pimples. I just use a little bit, so the samples have been lasting me a long time. These really zap pimples away. My doctor said this medicine is good for the kind of pimples you get around the time of your period.

6. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero: I was so happy to get this in my December IPSY bag! I was not expecting it. I feel like the IPSY bag got really good! I'm not subscribed to it or Birchbox anymore. I have heard people talk about this eyeliner for a long time. Probably as long as I have been watching Youtube videos. I now understand why everyone loves it. It is a really great eyeliner.

7. Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in The Bold Rush: This caught my eye in the store. It has purple and gold glitter. The colors fade into each other. It is a really cool effect. I got a lot of compliments on it.

8. The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer: I got this from my October Birchbox. This is a beautiful golden highlighter. I was using Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tiki as a dupe. Now that I have both products I can say for sure they are very similar. The Balm packaging is so cute. The girl is having her head shot taken like she was arrested, then at the bottom it says: "Offense: highlighter, shimmer, eyeshadow, Charge: too pretty, too popular, Antonym: womanizer." lol! The Balm products are so cheeky.

9. Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil in Black: Before I got the Urban Decay pencil, I was using this just about every day. This is a really great eye liner too. You can get these at the drugstore. Milani makes really great eyeliners.

10. Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Contouring Pencil in Red Dynamite: I like Rimmel lip liners. I think I wore a lot of red lips this month. I lined my lips with this pencil.

Random Favorites

11. Bath and Body Works Scentportables in Spiced Cider: Last month I included my favorite car scents, so I decided to do it again. This makes your whole car smell like apple cider! It is so delightful! One of my favorite things in life is entering my car and being greeted by a wonderful smell.

12. Out of the Silent Planet (Space Trilogy #1) by C.S. Lewis: My Dad really loves this trilogy, so I decided to read it. It is a science fiction book, which I normally don't read, but this was rather interesting. It is about a man who gets kidnapped and taken to a planet. I forget which one, but the book doesn't tell you at first, so I don't want to give anything away. He has all kinds of adventures. I'm reading the second book now, and it is really good too. It probably will be in my January favorites.

13. The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Frances Long: This is a fantasy novel. It's about a girl who loses her brother in the woods, and she tells everyone that the trees took him. So they think she's crazy. Seven years later, when she is 17, she gets taken into the magical world in the forest that her brother go taken into. So her mission is to find her brother. She has all kinds of adventures. It is also a love story. At first I felt annoyed at the book because I felt like the girl kept having troubles. But I needed to finish it to see how the story ended. I'm glad I finished it because it has a good ending. This is for young adults.
