Makeup Forever mini haul...

Hey Dollz
  so i got a few things from Makeup Forever and im really pleased with my purchase...

So i got the HD primer in #7 pink and it adds radiance to the skin
i also got the Aqua cream in 5 which is a shimmery coral...i absolutely adore it...its an amazing colour and great used as a blush and an eyeshadow..the only thing that i found a bit difficult is applying it, i found that the best way is to use my fingers because using a brush or sponge tip applicator just doesn't make it go on smoothly enough...
 here are swatches....

and lastly i got some free goodies with my purchase the HD liquid blush in #6 which is a coral colour, the HD elixir and the HD foundation.

 im thinking about getting a full size of the HD foundation but my skin is dry and very picky when it comes to foundations so im not sure if ill take the plunge....well till next time stay sweet ...

Makeup Haul...

Hey Dollz....
 so its been forever....iv bin so busy with exams then graduation and the likes so i have not had the time to blog...anyway i recently got a few things and i thought i would share them with you ladies

i Adore this mascara....they really make ur lashes look like falsies...both my mum and my sis asked me on separate occasions if i had falsies on...
Lancome Le rouge absolu in 76 brun sepia
Revlon Super lustrous lipgloss in Pink crystals
Revlon colourburst lipstick in 075 Peach
Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in 07 peach satin
here are the swatches

i use this as an undereye concealer and i really like it...it brightens the area up and reduces the appearance of bags and dark cirlces..
so far ive only worn two of these lashes...the Ardells (which i love love) and the Eylure ready to wear lashes which are subtle and look great although they are quite long...much longer than i expected...

  Well thats it for now ladies.....stay sweet....

Hair Hair Hair

Hey Dollz..
so i have a dilemma.....iv been natural for over a year.....and as some people may know with natural hair comes the battle with frizz.....sighhhh..... graduation is coming up soon and i so do not want to have a frizz ball on my head by the end of the day.iv been thinking of maybe putting some extensions in and flat ironing my hair but if the weather doesn't go my way then my hair forecast will be  ''humid with a chance of frizz ball'' ...this is making me yearn for a Dominican keratin treatment...i wish they had a salon here that did that...ah well...i need to figure out a DIY solution to my hair dilemma...  so till next time, stay sweet.
xoxo
