Price: $25 @ Ulta.  20 eyeshadows, 10 lip colors.

 Here is the packaging on the outside. There are ten little windows that show the top row of eyeshadows. The packaging has held up really nicely and very sturdy!

 There are 20 eyeshadows and ten lip colors in a little drawer. The colors are actually very saturated and last fairly long. The light ones turn to shimmer and the darker ones fade a bit after a while.  They have a pleasant smell and are not too gloopy :) I wont go into the individual colors because I don't use them enough to go any further.

Strawberrie Stuff is Back and Better

Hey everyone! I know...it has been forever! High school is so much harder than I thought. I really want to have good information for you guys but that takes time, which I don not have any! I recently got a laptop from Black Friday shopping and thought "What the heck? I may as well try at least once a week." That will give me some time to get ideas and make sure quality is all that is there!

Thanks for not giving up on me, you guys!  I won't be able to do the requests from before because most of them are for back to school time, so make sure you request some new posts and stuff! I will also have a lot more dance related things but that will be extra to my weekly post. BTW, I am officially on pointe and already have my second pair of pointe shoes! I love it!

So make sure you comment a request or tip, follow and tell your friends that I am back! <3 p="p">

(Almost) Melt-Proof Makeup

For Camp, I decided to make a melt proof routine. Here are the products I used to create it!
  1. ELF Tinted Moisturizer in Porcelain: This doesn't sweat off and creates a wonderful base for the other products.
  2. Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer: I put this on any blemishes that are very obvious.
  3. Sheer Cover Concealer Duo in Light/Medium: This  goes under the eyes for my dark circles.
  4. ELF Clarifying Pressed Powder in Ivory: A powder foundation makes everything stay extremely well and covers anything else.
  5. NYX Blush in Peach: A little blush never hurt anyone!
  6. Maybelline Define-a-Brow Pencil in Blonde and Essence Clear Brow Gel: This brow routine lasts all day and looks amazing!
  7. Maybelline 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow in Bold Gold: Simple but put together and brings out my blue eyes!
  8. Essence Gel Eyeliner in the darkest shade: A nearly invisible line to enhance my eyes a little more. It is water proof and doesn't come off easily!
  9. Loreal Carbon Black Mascara: Doesn't flake or rub off unless I am swimming there is none of that in camp. Also waterproof.
  10. Neutrogena Lip Balm, Norwegian Formula: A healing and clear formula that wont look as weird as putting lip stick on! Also, it cant smear when I dance.
What are your favorite melt proof products???
