Top 10 MAC eyeshadows

I have two full MAC eye shadow pallets. I have been collecting for about two years, so it did take awhile to fill them up. The following 10 eye shadows are my favorite ones out of the two pallets.



Cranberry (Frost), Glamour Check(Starflash [discontinued]), All That Glitters (Veluxe Pearl)

Swatched

Expensive Pink (Veluxe Pearl), Espresso (Matte), Shale (Satin)

Swatched

Shroom (Satin), Woodwinked (Veluxe Pearl), Smoke n Diamonds (Starflash [discontinued]), 
Naked Lunch (frost)

Swatched



I have put a lot of time and money into buying and using these eye shadows. My collection is still growing, and I am always on the lookout for new eye shadows (or any sort of makeup for that matter) to fall in love with. My favorite eye shadows change daily according to my mood, but these are the ones that I always love and come back to.

Holiday OOTD: Forever 21

Top: Forever 21 
Shorts: Forever 21
Shoes: Target (post pic later)
Purse: Target (from last OOTD)
I just got back today from a short holiday. (I think holiday sounds better then vacation in my opinion :)) This is a simple shot I took of my outfit one of the days. I wanted to look put together, but still laid back. I think the floral top (it has cute shoulder cutouts) and fresh white shorts made that achievable.  

It isn't the most informative picture, and you can't see most of the detail, but it's all I have. The shirt will be in an upcoming haul, so better pics are coming soon. I couldn't find any of the links online, but everything was purchased recently so I'm sure both F21 and Target will still have them in stock.

1. How much do you weigh?
--I do not weigh myself.. too scary!!
2. Who would you rather bang: Abraham Lincoln or Shaq?
Both at the same time
3. Why do you think Frankenstein couldn't speak?
Honestly, I didn't know he couldn't.. but I guess because he has that thing in his head

Closed, otherwise they would pop out!
5. What company would you be CEO for?
Sephora, or NARS
6. Why is Taylor Swift so tall?
Leg extensions
7. Why is it when people try new foods they always say it tastes like chicken?
I suppose because they think it tastes like chicken..
8. Shouldn't MAC have a cheaper, but same quality line?
MAC is cheap compared to other high end brands, but I guess if it was the same quality nobody would buy MAC anymore.
9. Shouldn't Alaska be considered it's own country?
Or just part of Canada..
10. Why do people ask questions they already know the answers to?
Well when I ask questions I already know the answers to I am either hoping the answer will be different, or I just like to hear the answer. Maybe some people are just dumb though.

Review: Ultraflesh Ultragloss

Ultraflesh Ultragloss - Heat
 I'll start off by saying a few months ago, I had never heard of this brand before. I had heard a couple of YouTube beauty gurus talk about the company, and it got me interested. They don't have many different products, but they are all interesting and different. This is the only product I own, but more are on my wishlist. 

In one word this lip gloss is amazing. First off, the applicator. I have never seen anything like it before, and now I am obsessed. I wish that all of my lip glosses came with this applicator. It is made off rubber and make the application process so easy. All you do is twist the top and the product comes up (similar to the Stila of e.l.f lip gloss). 

Now for the lip gloss itself. When I say it is not sticky, I really mean it is not in any way sticky. I could be in my car, with the windows rolled down, and my hair blowing in the wind, and nothing will stick. If you don't believe me ( I would be a little skeptical too, don't worry) try it for yourself! You will not regret it.

For the color, I chose a sheer red. A little out of my comfort zone, ( my lip gloss collection is oddly all light pinks ) but I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. It isn't bam-in-your-face red, it's just a sheer wash. It is perfect with any skin tone. 

If you only purchase one thing this summer, make it this lip gloss! You will not be let down!
