Review:Hope In a Jar
Hello Hello lovely Viewers <3
I'm suppose to be working on my english essay but because I love you all soooo much I thought I would review the infamous "Hope In a Jar".
it's sold in:sephora,philosophy stores/online,ulta,target,etc.
so lets start off with the pros.
PROS:
-has a very nice light scent to it(I can't put my finger on it,I think baby products?but I heard of others saying they hate it but whatever)
-very moisturizing!
-makes my skin feel like butter!
-looks thick but it's very lightweight
-has this thing "ester of lactic acid" that claims its for exfoliation(I'm not sure it's true though)
-when you wake up your face has a glow to it which is always nice <3
CONS:
-you have to dip your fingers in it which is not really sanitary
I got this about a week to two weeks ago.and I am starting to really love this stuff! I use it just about every night over my "RoC night treatment".but I have tried it on it's own and thats good too.I have dry skin so for me,it's more of the case "I need a heavy duty moisturizer".but if your oily this will most def work for you.cause it's very lightweight(almost whipped),and moisturizes very well.I was really doubting this but this truly is a HOPE IN A JAR :P (I know I'm lame)
I mean it looks thick....
but it feels very light and seriously a little goes a very long way! (probably as much as you see on my finger in the picture)
if you guys tried it out let me know and tell me how you feel about it ^^
but I have to finish my essays so ciao for now <3

Life,Haul,And Review.
Hello Hello lovely people<3
As you can read by the title of this blog....
yea...on to the point.so lately I've been having problems with my boyfriend.we have been together for a good five in a half monthes now.But...He's being to harsh lately.All he wants is to control my life.Hell!my dad is'nt as protective has he is!I want to keep being with him but...it's getting harder to stay by his side as the days progress..what should I do?ugh whatever...I'ma get my mind off it so yea on to the review/haul.
so I finally jumped on the "essence of beauty" and "merlot"bandwagon. I can't exactly review on the merlot since I just got it,but once I have a good amount of time to review it I'll put it down ^^
okay so this brush set is a pretty good deal.it came with three double-ended brushes and one extra brush thats called the "eyeshadow brush" but,looks more like a crease brush.Anywho,I tried every brush and the only real brush I have a problem with is the crease brush.it's kinda scratchy but whatever...it's good.
-the blending and eyeshadow brush(first one on top)I like alot.the blending part is really good for highlighting and,the eyeshadow part is angled which is good for a all-over wash of color and blending out the harsh line.
-the blush and powder brush(second top)is alright.the blush part is good for contouring,while the powder part,well it's wayyyy to small for powder all over the face.so I use it for powder under my eyes or contouring my nose.
-the foundation and concealer brush(my fave!)it's by far the best from the set!ehhh I really perfer my E.L.F powder brush for foundation but this is most def something you should go for!
so yea that's it for now

Face Routine/Skincare
Hello lovelies <3
so I know...
I've really really been MIA!
ugh...but I'ma try to update as much as possible now.
okay well yea as the headline says this is mainly my face routine.
just as a info,I do switch up alot because I find sticking to one routine can either get boring,or if not make your skin type change (which is odd)
okay so lets get on with it ;D
so here are the stuff I use just about everyday.
items:
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream #23 Natural Beige
MEMEME Beat The Blues liquid highlighter
Everyday Minerals Intensive Medium Concealer with the Eye kabuki
Okay so I'll do individual reviews now
I'm a harddddd person to please when it comes to foundation and such.so for me to stick with one foundation for longer then two monthes is a huge deal.This BB cream is excellent!the one I had before this one was from beauty credit and it was just to fair for me to just it and it had a grey undertone that made it look ashy.This is a complete other story!it has a spf of 47PA++,buildable light to medium coverage,it feels really light on the skin,And it does'nt have that ashy look when you apply it.the only two downsides to this product,it does oxidize!since it's heading towards fall and winter,I'm getting slighty lighter so this is getting a bit dark on me.The other annoying thing,they only have two shades #21 and #23 if your NC30 you could probably get away with this but for those above like NC35 and up,I really would'nt recommend this at all cause it will look to light on you.
I've been loving highlighters soooo much lately it's not even funny!I love the look of beautiful glowing skin!Well yea anywho this is the MEMEME Beat The Blues Highlighter.And if anyone knows of this,you would know it's the dupe for the benefit High beam highlighter which is double the cost of this one.The only downside,they only sell it in the UK DAMMIT!ugh....if they sold it in the us I would stock up like no other but oh well....I def recommend this to the people in the UK,and of the people in the us,def get the highbeam cause I'll be honest this bottle is lasting me forever!I even heard of people putting it into they're foundation to make it look more dewy and nice.
With bb creams,although it gives great coverage and feels like nothing on the skin,for people with nasty dark circles like me,you need a concealer.so I choose mineral concealer for now cause well I'm lazy and liquids and creams tend to take a while to blend rather then powder.don't get me wrong I loveeee my mac,bobbi brown,and benefit concealers,but I don't like taking alot of time on my face.and most of the time I very much lazy.lol so anywho this gives really good coverage around medium to full and it's matte which personally i don't like but whatever.I use the eye kabuki to apply it cause the eye kabuki is wayyy to big for the eye but perfect for the curves of your face and it's dense and soft enough to where it blends like a dream but not harsh at all! woooooo for everyday minerals!if only they did'nt take away they're kits then I would buy from them again but they're just jacking up prices now. -____________-
so yea blush I usually just get whatever I feel like during the day since i always use a different blush everyday
heres a photo of everything on besides blush (I'm aware I look really funny)
so yea that's it for now I guess
oh yea,
I just got the philosophy "hope in a jar"
and I'm testing it out if it's really all that great of a miracle worker.
so far,it's really creamy...idk about the moisturizing factor yet but I'll update later on.
well that's it for now ^^
any questions on any of the products,please let me know ^^

Lanieige Haul
Hello Hello The Lovely Person Reading This <3
well I have'nt really done anything lately
so I thought I would kick it off by doing a haul/review for you.
well I would'nt call it a "BIG" Haul but still it counts! hehe ^^
okay so lets get on with it
so I went to "The Amore" today.which is basically the only place that sells laneige around my area
and boy are they stocked up!
anyways I orginally got the sampler kit for free from them I absolutely fell in love<3
so I had to get a full size!but...they did'nt have the set I wanted -___-;; so I just got the skin refiner
I loveeee laneige's packaging it's just toooo cute (idk if you'll be able to see the design on the box T_T)
but anywho...yea ohh btw if you guys have a amore close to you,def recommend you go there cause they give a TON of samples.
check all these out...
(lol idk i was in the mood btw new hair :P)
yea...12 samples guys! these are going to last me forever!
actually I've been wanting to try to the "eye designer"for a while anyways so I'll let you know how that goes and if it's worth the buy after I finish up the sample.
anywho "the power essential skin refiner_EX" is a toner from they're basic skin care line.this stuff is magic in a bottle.actually speaking of the bottle,its glass!so please be careful with it if you choose to buy it.anywho,this stuff gets ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING off!
I wash my face everyday with the "laneige professional makeup remover" and that stuff will be in a another review ;D but anywho,after I do I use this baby and omg guys,you could see brown stuff on the cotton pad!and that's really not makeup at all it's alllll the dirt on your face!this stuff seriously gives you a CLEAN face!and after i use the "balancing emulsion_1_EX" and wooo my skin is set!
of course I only have the sample but thats next on my list<3.actually the emulsion is really just a moisturizer preping cream.so it basically preps your skin for the actual moisturizer(werid huh)but it still moisturizes sooo well.but at night because I have dry skin I use the water back cream as well as the extra moisturizer so my skin gets all the lovely moisturizing goodness<3
so if you plan on getting a toner,I def recommend the skin refiner!
but yea that's all for now

Review:Strawberry Fresh Lip Balm
hello hello lovely people <3
okay so I'ma do a review on my fav lip product of all time and it's the fresh lip balm from the face shop.and the main reason i'm doing this is cause I can't find a single review on it so here it goes
it's called the"Fresh Lip Balm" and I have it in strawberry which is they're best seller
but theres also orange and cherry if you don't like strawberry(which I won't understand why since it's sooooo amazing!)
okay lets start with the pros and cons
PROS:
-smells heavenly (about the smell of fresh squeezed strawberries like legit strawberries! yumm)
-actually tastes like strawberries too (no I don't eat lip balms)
-amazingly moisturizing on the lips!
-heals the most cracked,dry,and brittle lips within the hour
-comes with 10g of product which is a ton of product!
CONS:
-kinda on the pricey side for a lip balm (7-9 bucks)
-not that easy to find if you don't have a face shop anywhere near you
-the smell can be a bit on the overpowering side(I don't really have a issue with that since I <3 strawberries but for those people that can't take strong fragrances yeaa)
okay so I came by this product because my friend highly reccomended it to me since I had bad bad chapped lips back then.at first I did'nt expect much out of it I'm not going to lie.I thought it was just one of those lip balms that were like ehhh whatever.but dang! was I suprised!so the first time I used it my ex boyfriend (ugh hate him)was like mann you smell good out of nowhere.and I mean this thing has a very strong smell.not to to strong but enough so you could smell it on your lips.
anywho like at that time I had really bad chapped lips and it was bleeding and ugh terrible.within the hour I noticed my lips were really soft and moisturized.and i thought wow...this is honestly THE BEST LIP BALM EVER! I tried to get my ex to try some since he had nasty dry lips (ladies when your kissin your man make sure he has some gooooood chapstick on him).
but he of course had his manly pride and refused like my other guy friends.I love love this lip balm sooo much.
anywho I had it for almost a little more then 6 monthes and I'm still halfway from being done!and let me repeat I use this everyday single fricking day!i mean I knew this thing was packed to the brim but dang I thought I would get through it at least within 5 monthes!so this product is going to last you a long time.so if you really think about it,considering that a regular chapstick would last a average month to two monthes you'll be saving quite a bit of money.so I consider this as a investment for beautiful lips.but I only use it at night cause it has no spf (I'm BIG on spf)so I use my carmex or soft lips during the day and this at night.
ladies if your looking for a life saving,nasty cracked lips helping,miracle working,lip balm check this out!
P.S//if you don't have a faceshop near you a reccomend ebay cause they don't sell on they're website booooooo!
I hope you guys enjoyed
and if you have any questions please feel free to ask

haulage and review
hello lovely people :]
it's been quite a while since I've posted a haul
and well if it is'nt completely obvious why...
it's cause I've been really short on cash lately
but I recently got my allowance
and I was able to go out and shop for the first time in a long time T_T
but yea
anywho on to my haul
so I basically got four stuff makeup related
and it's from mac and vicky secrets yeaa I know but i was soooo excited to go to mac today!
I know I know it does'nt seem like much
but trust me...
this is alot of money for me to spend on makeup in one day...
I actually chose these over this amazing coat at H&M.And for me to do that
that's a biggg deal haha
so basically from mac I got one item from the "color craft collection"
and one item from the "love that look collection" which is basically a collection completely made up of the starflash eyeshadow repromo.
okay to start off lets go into the color craft collection.
well.. like every teenager these days that does'nt have a job
you need to go off pocket money to shop
and with me i basically got into the mac frenzy just this year.
I know LAMMEEEE
but yea
when I saw that color craft was made up mainly of mineralized stuff like eyeshadows,blushes,and had SIX I repeat SIX MSF'S coming out
I went insane I tell you!
cause to be honest I have no MSF.none,nada,zip.
and the main reason is because I really find that they're just going to be sitting in my makeup drawers catching dust
so today when I went to mac, I really had my heart set on the repromoted porcelain pink MSF.
but when I saw it in person I was like "errrrrr.... idk"
so I had a talk with my mac lady who was extremely funny let me tell you *coughs* anyways
she said it would just be a highlighter cause it's just tooo shimmery to be a blush
and it made sense so I just went to plan b getting Fad-dabulous blush.
but I saw daft pink and I was in loveee but i loved fad-dabulous as well
and i asked my mac lady on which would look better and she said daft pink since fad-dabulous is on the more mauvey side
and boy! am I happy with my purchase it's beautiful I mean look at it!
ugh...this is definatley going to be my go to blush for a while!
:D
okay so next on to starflash
so the eyeshadow I got from this collection was style snob
cause when it comes to mac eyeshadows in particular,I like to stick with the neutrals.
just because I know i don't use colors very often and i'm a amature when it comes to eyeshadow so for now nono on the bright out there colors
and like the color craft I had my heart set on smoke & diamonds which is a beautiful somewhat peuter gun metal grey <3 love.
but unfortunately it was sold out at my mac store (I knew I should have gone to norstrom!)
but I still wanted to get something cause when i checked out the "baby bloom" collection with they're suntints.
I was seriously soooo grossed out
i did a swatch of the purple one on my finger
and geez! that thing is like tacky school glue! seriously,i could see it sticking and having those strings like eww... ugh
yea anywho so I went with style snob cause it seemed like a amazing color
and I see why people rave on these eyeshadows!
1.they feel like silk on the skin
2.pigmentation is a A+++
3.Amazing amazing amazing need i say more?!
I wish i could get more hopefully if I do well around house cleaning or better yet find a job in this horrible economy,maybe I'll be able to get a back up and smoke & dimonds before they're sold out! but yea this could possibly be my new fave all over lid or outer crease color<3
okay nowwww on to vicky secrets.
okay so as you probably know,vicky secrets was having a75% off sale on all the very sexy line products cause they were reformulating everything and changing the packaging.
so I when I went into my vicky's oh my gosh they came out with a brand new "very sexy"line of makeup!
0_0 I know!
so I legit stood there for about a hour testing out they're products on what i wanted to get so heres what I came with
okay so this is they're silky eye shadow and no longer does it have that black and red packaging with the "very sexy" on the lid (which to me frankly looked horribly tacky! -____-;; personal opinon!
now it's black with a clear plastic center and just says vs.
sleek and nice and let me tell you these eyeshadows are like SILK!
so they'res three different types to the eyeshadows they'res:
Velvet:which is mainly concentrated with mattes
Sparkle:if you can't figure out from it's name it's going to be pretty shimmery if it was a mac eyeshadow it would probably be a veluxe pearl.
Lustre:a slight amount of shimmer but not like BAM! all up in yo face!
so the one I got is called "Rich" and it's in the velvet finish.
omgosh...well to be completely honest the sparkle finishes are like the benifit eyeshadows.they're incredibly soft and super pigmented without a base.The lustre and Velvet finishes are'nt really as soft but they are super soft too.
and all of them are incredibly pigmented. I got this one mainly cause it reminded me of expresso from mac which i have been dying to get but I always get something else when I go in T_T.or if not sable but whatever.anywho it's a dark rich chocolate brown and boy does it look beautiful on the crease or outer corner with all that glitters all over the lid!
personally I think this is something I'm going to try to collect...
there goes my pocket money....
okay so next is the perfect lipstick and I abosolutely LOVE THIS!
to be honest,I don't wear lipstick often the only lipstick I would see myself wearing everyday is my clinque sheer moisture lipstick but unfortunalty it got discontinued and I only use it on those special occasion. sad but true.
so for me to love a lipstick enough to wear it everyday is a huge deal.I got mine in wish and i can't find these on the website so I'm guessing it's out of stock already so i better stock up!
okay so to begin with it's increadibly creamy! soooo sooo creamy but not as moisturizing as I hoped it would be.but with maybe a sight layer of carmex that would fix it!
this is something I could see myself buying over and over it's the perfect pink shade for my lips and for people of high pigmented lips this is the way to go I think I just might love this over my cream cup lipstick from mac 0_o yep
I'm soooo stocking up
ohhh so yea that's my review
and p.s//they have a new concealer pallet that's just like the makeup forever concealer pallet.only wayyyy cheaper and creamier idk how it's going to hold up but when I get my cash I'm sooo buying it :D
if you guys have any questions please let me know
-candice <3
it's been quite a while since I've posted a haul
and well if it is'nt completely obvious why...
it's cause I've been really short on cash lately
but I recently got my allowance
and I was able to go out and shop for the first time in a long time T_T
but yea
anywho on to my haul
so I basically got four stuff makeup related
and it's from mac and vicky secrets yeaa I know but i was soooo excited to go to mac today!
I know I know it does'nt seem like much
but trust me...
this is alot of money for me to spend on makeup in one day...
I actually chose these over this amazing coat at H&M.And for me to do that
that's a biggg deal haha
so basically from mac I got one item from the "color craft collection"
and one item from the "love that look collection" which is basically a collection completely made up of the starflash eyeshadow repromo.
okay to start off lets go into the color craft collection.
well.. like every teenager these days that does'nt have a job
you need to go off pocket money to shop
and with me i basically got into the mac frenzy just this year.
I know LAMMEEEE
but yea
when I saw that color craft was made up mainly of mineralized stuff like eyeshadows,blushes,and had SIX I repeat SIX MSF'S coming out
I went insane I tell you!
cause to be honest I have no MSF.none,nada,zip.
and the main reason is because I really find that they're just going to be sitting in my makeup drawers catching dust
so today when I went to mac, I really had my heart set on the repromoted porcelain pink MSF.
but when I saw it in person I was like "errrrrr.... idk"
so I had a talk with my mac lady who was extremely funny let me tell you *coughs* anyways
she said it would just be a highlighter cause it's just tooo shimmery to be a blush
and it made sense so I just went to plan b getting Fad-dabulous blush.
but I saw daft pink and I was in loveee but i loved fad-dabulous as well
and i asked my mac lady on which would look better and she said daft pink since fad-dabulous is on the more mauvey side
and boy! am I happy with my purchase it's beautiful I mean look at it!
ugh...this is definatley going to be my go to blush for a while!
:D
okay so next on to starflash
so the eyeshadow I got from this collection was style snob
cause when it comes to mac eyeshadows in particular,I like to stick with the neutrals.
just because I know i don't use colors very often and i'm a amature when it comes to eyeshadow so for now nono on the bright out there colors
and like the color craft I had my heart set on smoke & diamonds which is a beautiful somewhat peuter gun metal grey <3 love.
but unfortunately it was sold out at my mac store (I knew I should have gone to norstrom!)
but I still wanted to get something cause when i checked out the "baby bloom" collection with they're suntints.
I was seriously soooo grossed out
i did a swatch of the purple one on my finger
and geez! that thing is like tacky school glue! seriously,i could see it sticking and having those strings like eww... ugh
yea anywho so I went with style snob cause it seemed like a amazing color
and I see why people rave on these eyeshadows!
1.they feel like silk on the skin
2.pigmentation is a A+++
3.Amazing amazing amazing need i say more?!
I wish i could get more hopefully if I do well around house cleaning or better yet find a job in this horrible economy,maybe I'll be able to get a back up and smoke & dimonds before they're sold out! but yea this could possibly be my new fave all over lid or outer crease color<3
okay nowwww on to vicky secrets.
okay so as you probably know,vicky secrets was having a75% off sale on all the very sexy line products cause they were reformulating everything and changing the packaging.
so I when I went into my vicky's oh my gosh they came out with a brand new "very sexy"line of makeup!
0_0 I know!
so I legit stood there for about a hour testing out they're products on what i wanted to get so heres what I came with

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL=L O V E
HELLO HELLO To the person reading this <3>
is coming to the kodak theatre in hollywood,california <345
okay okay so to the people that don't know it
it's this amazing amazing show! like you can't even comprehend how amazing it is!
I orginally saw it at las vegas and was amazing by it
I was going to the dvd to watch it over and over again
but the thing is it's hella expensive $80 for the complete set?!
hell to the no I'll wait
and there's no many different series to it
they even do a show with CRIS ANGEL! ahhhh fricking ahhh
I still have my ticket on my desk to remember that day
(btw I did'nt buy the ticket)
okay so heres the lowdown.I followed my moms friend and her son to sin city cause they offered a all expense payed trip.and let me tell you,the begining of the time was hecka ANNOYING!we had a five hour drive there,then had to wait in line for TWO AND A HALF FRICKING HOURS!just to get our room because the computers crashed at the mirage..yeaa but that place is pretty swanky I ain't going to lie!I litterally was going to take the bed with me back to la.anywho down to the point.So I knew me and her son was going to watch a show but I had no idea which show we were going to watch.So okay I thought okay this is going to be one of those annoying free shows thats always crowded.But anywho we went to the bellagio to pick up our tickets and she asked for the best seats in the house but it turned out it was sold out that night so we had to stick with the ones she orginally bought.When I saw the price of the ticket alone I was like HOLLY CRAP! 170 dollar ticket are you kidding me?!.
I felt horrible..come on accepting a 170 dollar ticket?! that's to much but I knew I could'nt refuse cause it would be to rude.so when we went in it seemed really nice.a really amazingly huge theater with a beauitful blue/green ceiling.when the show started I never moved my eyes off the stage and I'ma person that's not really into shows like this.
when it finished I walked out with litterally my mouth open.I could'nt believe how amazing it was!so when I saw that the cirque du soleil was coming here I screamed!
I'm planning on getting the best seat in the house this time.even though the seat we had was'nt bad at all,I want to be up close and personal this time ;D
I'm in the process of forcing my boyfriend to come with me but..he's hard to budge since he's the type that's obessed with sports and thinks shows are for gay guys.*sigh* I'm going to make him anyways :D
so yea anyways down to the point,the show is coming in 2010(sad face :[)but that gives me enough time to save up for a front row seat most likely it's going to be about 500 to 600 dollars but it's worth every single penny! <3>

Review:Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Scar Serum
Hello Hello to the person viewing this ^^
so I got this blogspot thing going finally
anywho on to the review:
Product Name:Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Scar Serum (what a fricking mouthful)
Price:About $10.99 but I got it for about $13.99 at walgreens (rip off -_-)
Volume:30ml/1fl.oz.
Texture:somewhat a thick/thin oily constancy '
Pros:
-Need the smallest amount
-Comes with a pump so you don't waste alot of product
-pretty simple directions on applying
-fades scars within a week average(not all that much though)
Cons:
-Fricking expensive as hell for a 1fluid ounce!
-comes in a glass bottle which could shatter fairly easily
-have to rub in for about a average 20-30 seconds and then let it soak in
-have to apply 3 to 4 times a day T_T talk about annoying?!
Overall:4-5
Would I Repurchase:Maybe still processing
My Thoughts On The Product Itself:
So I got this product about a year or two ago (I know a longgg time ago).During that time I got my first pimple and went absolutely crazy!And I'm talking absolutely insane maniac crazy!I shaught after every single ance product I can find on the market and I mean everything for one single zit (told you insane!).And I knew with zits there was always the factor of scars and seeing my friends faces which had bad ance scaring scared me even more.So with the ance products I went after every scar creme too.
The funny part to this,I came from a family which rarely has ance -___-;;.My Dad never had a pimple in his entire life,My mom I'm not sure of,My cousins complexions are completely flawless(except for my older boy cousin which is smothered in zits haha).and yea,so one day going through walgreens with my dad I noticed this scar serum and I remember my friend telling me how good cocoa butter was for scars and how her scars faded drastically cause of it.
of course I had to buy it.but the sad part it's been catching dust until this year.I started to get massive ance problems and I've actually been needing the extra coverage.and I ended up with two scars on my face.T_T can you believe it?!so I've been trying it out and it's been pretty good.I've noticed my scars are really less visable which is AMAZING <3.the only thing stopping me is the price factor i mean I understand that you should bust out the extra cash for skincare but $13-$14 a pop for a 1oz?!yea idk if it's worth it quite yet I'll update you guys once I give it a little more time and see more results.
