Sneak Peek :: Sigma Performance Eyes Kit!

Great News Sigma Beauty Lovers! They have a new Kit coming very soon (March 5th) - It's the Sigma Performance Eyes Kit! An awesome kit just for the eyes! with completely NEW brushes!


What's in my February MyGlam Bag

So I've been subscribed to MyGlam for the past two months now. (MyGlam is a subscription service similar to birchbox etc). The first bag I received was okay(In January), but it was a disaster trying to get my bag to me (So many shipping issues). This month, the bag came on time, but the products were just bleh.  The only thing I really did like was the bag and that was still kind of iffy.

I understand it's only $10, but for the products that were in this month's MyGlam bag, I was really not impressed. The sole reason I wanted to subscribe to MyGlam was because of the initial bag in December that I saw - Had a full sized Urban Decay Eyeshadow with other samples which were high end I believe.

It sort of went down hill from that first bag, in my opinion. I had tried Birchbox once and didn't like that either, so I cancelled it - if MyGlam dissapoints me again, I'm going to cancel and either go back to birchbox or find another monthly subscription to join.

Here are the contents of this month's MyGlam Bag.



Supposedly the X-Out product was placed in "meaningful beauty" empty tubes, so there's a big fuss about if it's really meaningful beauty facial wash or X-Out shine control. I have not tried the product yet, because honestly I'm scared to try it out in fear of breaking out.  But MyGlam has confirmed that it is the X-Out Product inside and not meaningful beauty product, the company had just over produced tubes I guess and so they just placed a new label on top of it. Either way, I'm still iffy on using it.

The $100 off "Gift Certificate" is really just a coupon.  And the sucky thing about it is - you can only use it on hair extensions and hair appliances.  Which would be fine if it were a real Gift Certificate! (Gift Certificates are like cash where you could use it for whatever you wanted for that store, and you could also use a coupon code in conjunction with the gift certificate). MyGlam gives you a coupon code on how to claim your $100 off. But mind you the hair tools on the NuMe website are freaking expensive as hell - where you'd have to shell out $50 not including shipping!

So I honestly don't see the point in that "gift certificate" or coupon. Im probably not going to use it. This month's bag was a real disappointment. They gave us freaking chocolate. If i was going to pay $10 for a cheap makeup bag, coupon code for something I can't use, chocolates and a mislabeled item, I would have gotten something else.

I think I will give MyGlam ONE last chance before I ultimately decide to cancel or not. In the Meantime, I'm going to be looking at other sample boxes/bags in hopes I find something worth keeping and spending my Money on.

Are you Subscribed to MyGlam? what are your thoughts? are you canceling or keeping your subscription?

Review :: Maybelline 24/7 Color Tattoo with Swatches

So, if you remember from my huge collective haul blog post and video, I have all 10 eyeshadows of the Maybelline 24/7 Color Tattoo Cream eyeshadows.


I wanted to give my input/review and share my swatches with those that still do not have them yet or are on the fence about getting them, or just want to see swatches!


I did purchase these with my own money, I did not purchase them all at once. I had to find these in different stores and a lot of times the drugstores I found them in were having sales which really helped. The cheapest that i've found them is at Target.

Original Naked Palette vs Naked2 Palette.. swatches & comparison

So, I've had the Naked 2 palette for a little while now that I could definitely discuss the differences between the two and what i like about both palettes.. and also show you all some swatches - for those that are on the fence about getting the naked2.. 


I didn't do an unboxing of the naked2 palette, like I originally did with the original naked palette because there are SO many videos already showing swatches - and I know how redundant that'd be for you all.. (plus I wasn't lucky enough to get it the first time around like I did with the original naked palette) 


So here are swatches of Original Naked palette: (click pictures to enlarge)

Tutorial :: Easy Bold & Bright Blue Eye look using WetNWild Palette

Hi Everyone! So I'm trying to blog more often before Baby comes (which is in about 4 weeks!) and also put out more videos before she comes as well. So I decided to do a makeup look using Wet N Wild "Blue had me at hello" eyeshadow Palette.


I wanted something different than my normal browns and purples. So I opted for something a bit brighter and bolder and this is what I came up with. It's super easy and I hope you all enjoy it! Don't forget to give it a thumbs up & subscribe to our channel if you haven't already! :)

Video :: 3.5 Month huge Collective Haul (requested) Pic Heavy

It's been awhile since my last haul video, and I had asked on twitter and instagram if you would rather see a HUGE 3.5 month collective haul video.. or a blog post with pictures of the haul. only one person on twitter ever did reply that they'd rather see a blog post.. and the majority of people on instagram had requested a video :) 

So hence the reason why I did the longest haul video ever lol. it was 20 minutes long and that was with cutting out a few things lol.. mainly because I was talking too much about the product or the story behind it. but nonetheless I filmed it and I do hope you enjoy it!

Tutorial :: Soft Smokey Eye for Date night

So if you've seen my latest blog post (about My baby shower) I was asked to do a tutorial on the look I was wearing. I decided to also wear that same look (minus the lipstick) for Valentine's Day Dinner date with My Husband. I decided to skip the lipstick because we were going out to dinner and I didn't want anything on my lips lol... but I thought it was perfect for a date night look :) you can dress up the look with lashes, lipsticks etc.. but thought the soft smokey eye was perfect enough :)






Someone tell me why, Youtube always picks the ugliest thumbnails for me LOL


My Baby Shower!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had an awesome weekend! I surely did. It was my Baby shower over the weekend, so surely we were all super busy.


Karen (my brother's girlfriend) had planned out my entire baby shower - and let me tell you - she is SUPER awesome at planning baby showers and parties in general. The theme of my baby shower was yellow and pink :) 


Here are some pictures of the party and some of me and my friends/family. there weren't too many photo's because I was honestly so busy entertaining everyone, and the games that were going on (which were by far super fun!)


:) Let me know if you'd like me to blog (or vlog) about my presents I had received from my baby shower (to give you an idea of what you guys should get for baby?) 


Me & My Husband <3
