My Latest Gathering :) a.k.a HAUL!!

Hey Ladies,

SO....indulge with me in what has been my September/October loves and gatherings :) There were other things too that I didn't include, like my organic Jojoba Oil, a new hair cream and growth oil which I'm loving....I don't post much about my hair so I didn't think I should include but if you wanna know just tell me! Not that I don't love my hair, because I LOVE MY HAIR :) haha and all it's curly goodness!!

The Jojoba Oil I was intrigued to buy after reading Gala Darling's post on it
http://galadarling.com/article/jojoba-oil-is-the-elixir-of-the-gods
....rightfully titled "The Elixir of the Gods" haha....she listed the benefits etc. but she had me at "this made me shine less under my makeup". She said after two nights of using this after cleansing, before moisturizing, she went to get tested for foundation at MAC and the artist was like, your skin is beautiful...something she says she never hears....so I had to try....it has been two nights, and I CAN SEE A DIFFERENCE....just looking at my skin, the texture is really smooth and soft looking, and it feels amazingly soft....and my face is indeed less oily (as jojoba oil supposedly tricks your skin into thinking it doesn't need to produce as much oil).....I'm in love!!

So let's get to the goodies!!!

From L-R: Avon Pro-to-go in Coral (this is my second purchase i LOVE this), Maybelline Color Sensational in Pink Please, NYX lipstick in Power, L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick in Tawny, L'oreal Colour Juice (y'all KNOW I LOVEEE this stuff) in Grape Soda and Strawberry Smoothie, NYX lipsticks in Pecan Pie and Paris.
Swatches L-R: Avon Coral, Maybelline Pink Please, NYX Power, Paris and Pecan Pie, L'Oreal Tawny (this is a gorgeous peachy nude!!!!! i love!!!), L'oreal Grape Soda and Strawberry Smoothie colour juice lipglosses

Avon Pro-to-go in Coral (isn't it just sooo super pretty)

Maybelline Pink Please
L'Oreal Tawny lipstick, colour juice glosses in Grape Soda and Strawberry SmoothieOn to the naillllsss.....gosh, I don't think I'll be buying any more nail polishes for now! I am set! lol
And they were soo inexpensive too! Wow! Such a steal...but anyway they are:
L-R (top): Kleancolor: Barbie Pink, Neon Fuchsia, Neon Purple, Neon Yellow; Beauty Treats - Neon Pink, Art Deco - Forest Green, Brucci: Chris's Green Belt, Amelia's Amethyst ( I cannot wait to try that one sooo pretty)
L-R (below): Kleancolor : Covalt (think Lancome's Indigo) Charcoal, Brucci- TJ's Blue Suede Shoes (this is SO gorge) and the Sally Hansen Double Duty Nail Polish :)
This is Chris's Green Belt
The Art Deco Forest Green, this is actually for patterns and stuff, but I had been searching all over for a green like this so I bought it anyway and stuck a regular brush in and voila :) Chipped and had edge wear by the second day though, something which never happens with me so...I guess this doesn't have lasting power for that full on manicure!

I first smelt this last year around this time too in Ulta, I remember thinking how cookie-ish and yummy it smelt but didn't bother to indulge...a couple weeks ago, I smelt this again and it was love! It's like I'm constantly changing, nail polish colours , lip colours and fragrances I wouldn't have worn in the past I'm loving now! For me, it's really strong (which I LOVE) I love it when people can smell me, it's really sweet, vanillery (haha my word) and then it wears down to an exotic oriental woodsy scent, i truly love this!! :) Yummy!!


Someone I will forever love though is Mrs Mariah Carey Cannon ha! I love her! She basically taught me how to sing, I am forever indebted to you MC! I've been playing this LOUDLY ever since I got it...she has made me cry, smile, and for sure SIINNNGGG.....gotta love her!


That's it! :) Hope you enjoyed....

NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS PART 4!

Okay....the finale...for now anyway :) This time around, i was looking for true skin toned nude colours, so that means browns that could pass for my match in a foundation...so with the exception of Darling, that would mean Tea and Perfect Taupe.....(that's what they had) otherwise, I would've tried Echo, Honey, Rea or Circe (tho the latter might have been lighter than my skintone) but you get the point. :)

L-R: Darling, Perfect Taupe, Tea

Perfect Taupe on lips ( a little too dark for me but can be made more wearable with a lighter nude gloss)

NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS PART 3!!

Yes...there is more!!!! With all the colours to choose from I found it hard to just like 5....I find that some of them are similar, where two might be the same colour with the difference being one has shimmer the other doesn't. I'm really enjoying them though....so here we go ! :) I'll also include a FOTD with NYX Round Lipstick in Chloe....Such a pretty fuschia!! Out of these I am loving Herades, Eros, Chloe and B52, however Iris when mixed with a bronzey gloss is LOVEEE and Thalia, though it runs a little cool on me, is wearable with a coral or nude gloss on top. I really love these lipsticks.....can you tell?


L-R: Eros, Chloe, Pandora, Iris, Herades, Thalia, B52

NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS Part 2 + NOTD!

Hello lovelies!! So the craziness continues with the round lipsticks.....but before I get to that, the NOTD, is a shade I created using a darker purple, white and a purpley-pink...I have an obsession with China Glaze's Spontaneous, but I have never seen it out here so I made what I think it looks like based on my computer's pixelation (if that's even the terminology lol)!



Alright, so the craze continues, I think in all, I have about 23 NYX Round Lipsticks now, so there will be one more post with pics and everything. I didn't get them all at once so that's why I'm putting them in parts.
These lipsticks are so creamy, and moisturizing, I'm really impressed, and the beauty of it, is the array of colours that one can choose from and I got them for like the equivalent of US$1.20 which is great!!!!! No tax or shipping nothing. I'm so glad I was able to find these and in a couple of the shades I'd been lemming...except Indian Pink! I think I definetly have favourites now, they are Perfect, Herades, Watermelon, B52, Frappucino, Miracle, Margerita, Tea, Pumkin Pie, Chloe, Eros and Louisiana.




L-R: Frappucino, Mars, Georgia, Watermelon


Frappucino

Alrighty, stick around for more soon!!!
