I Hit Pan On...

Hey hey hey! sooo I have some stuff to share with y'all! I have picked out some stuff to use up or hit pan on and I thought I could tell what I have accomplished! So lets go!

I have hit pan on almost ever single shade in my L.A. Colors palette Cafe Au Lait. I just have the first of the bottom row to hit pan on!
Also the light color in Maybelline's duo Browntones has had the honor of showing its pan to my eyeball! The last is a color in my Profusion pallete 03 and I am pretty sure that is it. I am working on a shimmery white in the same palette and a pinky brown in my 04 palette. One thing that will be hard to hit pan on will be my ELF quads in Blue Moon and Drama. Then I have used plenty of my Elf single in Pink Ice but have been focusing on using up the lower left color of my Cafe Au Lait palette. It is so pigmented, has practically no fall out and doesn't look the best on me!!!! How do I use it? It looks pumpkin orange on my eye...But My NYC Lip Tin in Angel Kiss has almost hit pan. I keep on almost hitting pan, using it once, and then the pan disappears. :(  So far I have been able to get Christmas presents with money!!!! :) Luv y'all!

Haul-16 I'm Not Spoiled!


Trust me I know it looks like I get anything I want or have a large income but I don't! My mommy was nice enough to get me some stuff just because it was cheap or I needed it! An this is accumulative! I did not buy all of this at once!!!!! :P

Face: Sam's Club; Walmart; Safeway
  • Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock in SPF 55 Kit-$14: This came with Two full sized sunblocks, a lip balm, and a mini sunblock. My mom said she would get me the sunblock because it was essential and considering that usually one full size is $14-15!
  • Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Scrub-$9: Now this comes with a lip gloss and 3 more ounces than the $7 one. I thought that it was a great investment.
  • Nivea Kiss of Smoothness Lip Balm-$1: This is always $3 and it was on sale so I purchased it and cant wait to try it out!
Books: My mom got these because a. they were on sale for really cheap and b. They were needed for school. Barnes and Noble
  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-$8: This was a book that my mom has read twice. The book itself is 524 pages long.
  • A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens-$8: I thought that the cover looked interesting and I realized it was from Charles Dickens so I asked my mom for it and she said yes but just because they are school books! The book is 372 pages long so not very long but reasonable.
  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen-FREE:There was a Buy 2 get 1 free deal so now I have my very own copy. My mom has read this 3 going on 4 times. It is 375 pages so it is not long.
Other: Target; Walmart
  • ELF Studio Couture Brush-$3: This is my holy grail brush. 'Nuff said.
  • ELF Eyelash Curler-$1: My other one lost its sponge so now I have two!
  • Heart Stickers-$.75: CLEARANCE!
I cant think of anything else so I think this is it! I will have another Accomplished Item up sometime soon! luv y'all!

OMG! No More Makeup?!?!?

Thats right people. I am not going to buy any makeup for 9-12 months! I started the first of this month and forgot to tel you...But my mom and besties don't think that I can pull this off, so I guess I can prove them wrong...lol So I will explain what I may and may not buy.

May Buy: I can still buy stuff like nail polish (not makeup), hair products (not makeup), and tools of any sort. I will accept gifts and stuff (not that I am asking) because I don't want to be rude. I may also buy lip balm and skin care.

May Not Buy: makeup as in lipsticks, lipgloss, primers, mascara (Ikd how this will work; both of mine are 2 months old.....), eyebrow stuff, eyeliner, etc. Ummm...Soooo....Yeeeaahh....lol

So this is my idea and it started September 1 but I kept on forgetting to post it! luv yall

How to Make the Most of Your Mascara:
lashblast_luxe_mascara_1.jpg
   If your mascara is 3 months old but there is till a lot left in the tube, go ahead a use it but not from root to tip.  You can apply it on just the upper thirds of your lashes so it does not touch your skin. This is what i did today and my eye pain has gone away! so if you are like me and dont want to buy a new mascara, especially if you promised yourself that you would not buy makeup for 8-9 months, then this tip will definatlly help you save that cash! Make sure you try this with the more high end and department store brand so that you save A LOT! luv you giis! Tell me what to do in the comments!

Review: Drama Clean Shampoo Herbal Essences

Drama Clean Shampoo From Herbal Essences: 10/10
Claims: Leaves hair shiny, clean, oil free, and totally weight free!(almost); The claims are actually correct. This does everything it says it will. 2/2
Scent: Green tea and Flowers; The scent smells so refreshing and clean! THe strong green tea scent is toned down with a scent of Orchids or Roses (i forgot) luv in shampoo form. 2/2
Texture of Product: the product itself is a gel like substance. Not a cream like the Hello Hydration but tranclusent like a gel. I find that the product lathers and creates more bubbles than the cream shampoos. thus i feel that is cleans my hair more than others. 2 points!
Texture of Hair: My hair is silky, clean and flouncy after my shower when i use this.  it does not create split ends and does not dry my hair out. It cleans so well that I didn't need to wash everyday! 2/2
Performance: With clean hair, a great scent, and amazing results, I say 2/2

Hope you loved it! Tell me if you try it out and look forward to the Drama Clean Conditioner review soon!

Review: L.A.Colors Palette in Cafe au Lait

Rating: 10/10
OMG! This is the most awesome palette ever!!!!!  First, its only $1 at the dollar store.  Second, it is soooo pigmented!  Third, there are 6 amazing colors!
I was watching ittybittyannie on YouTube.  She did a drugstore starter kit and this pallete was mentioned.  So I got to the dollar store, pick it up and swatch it.  "OMG! Mom, look at this!" is what I said.  She looked and said that it was truely amazing for $1!  So there are 6 different eyeshadows to that means that each one is less than 17 cents per eyeshadow.  One pan is a square.  They are about the size of a penny with the added corners.  They are about as pigmented as the Wet 'n' Wild but not as powdery. Now the colors are all beautiful.
Top Row: First(left to right): beigey, cream, whiteish color.  It is very satiny but is the most matte and least pigmented of them all. Second: pinky, beige satin color. This is my favorite out of them all and am almost done with the whole pan. Third: orange, beigey pink.  This is the least used color but is so pretty.  it is a little to orange for me but I can wear it some times.
Bottom Row: First(left to right): orangy brown with gold.  Very shimmery but I can wear sometimes.  Second: this is just a shimmery brown with a little gold but it is so pretty!  I use this the second most.  Third: purpley, taupey, with gold shimmer.  This is the most unique color in the whole pallete! I love how this looks!
These eyeshadows also have a great staying power! they have never creased or faded.  I think that this is better than most of my eyeshadows!
Well I really hope that you guys enjoy this and I hope you try this out!  I can't wait to get the colorful ones!
