I Spy With My Little Eye....


Today I wanted to talk about my most used eye products
and do a little review on each. As you can see by the above
photo I don't use much. I am a creature of habit and when
I really enjoy something I usually stick with it for a while.




Urban Decay Naked 2: This was my very first "high end" 
makeup product I've ever gotten. I believe I had received
this as a Christmas gift last year. It's still my first go
to shadow pallet. I just love nudes and that this pallet
gives you some shimmers and some mattes. I am missing
Blackout at the very end. It fell out and crumbled into
little pieces. :( 

Smashbox Full Exposure: As you can see I have a little
sample size that I bought in Ulta about a month ago. It's
slowly turning into my most reached for pallet
but I do also like to mix it with some of the Naked 2
colors. The main reason why I reached for this
was because of how it offers the same exact shades
in shimmer and in matte. I would say some of the 
shimmers are not very pigmented but if you mix them
with their matte counterparts then you get a really pretty
shade. 

Buxom Cream Shadow: I  LOVE THIS! I use this all
over my lid pretty much every day. I have in the shade Mutt.
It's the perfect classic brown shimmer that looks so
great all over the lid. It doesn't crease or smudge and I
highly recommend this to anyone looking for a 
good cream shadow. 



Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion: I have used
many drugstore eye primers that just did not work
so I decided to spend a little bit more and try this.
I do not regret that decision! I really notice
a difference in my shadows when I don't use this
compared to when I do. They just stay put and last
all day with no smudging. This formula is so 
light and easy to apply. I highly recommend this
to anyone looking for a good high end 
eye primer. 

Anastasia Brow Wiz: My eyebrows are horrid
little monsters. I can not seem to get them to
look remotely normal but this brow wiz really
helps tame them. It's duel ended with the 
brow pencil on one end and a brow brush
on the other. It lasts all day and is very 
easy to apply. Also, it doesn't leave 
my eyebrows feeling waxy. That is a major 
plus in my book.



Elf Liquid Eyeliner: Elf has such amazing products for
the price. This eye liner was only $2 and has worked
wonders for me. It's also very long lasting and is very
pigmented. I also love that it has a very long and narrow
applicator brush that helps making cat eye flicks
easy to apply. 

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner: I like having this
gel liner in a different shade because it helps add that 
extra something to a smokey eye. I mainly use
the gel liner when I feel like smudging rather
than having the harsh line of a liquid liner. I just use this
with a angled brush and sweep it on. It's very easy to apply
and is also very long lasting and feels quite light on the lid. 

Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara:
This is been the only brand of mascara in my makeup
bag for, oh, since my freshman year of high school. (I'm now 22)
This is the most amazing mascara. It really lengthens my lashes and 
builds them up and makes them look so flawless. My most
favorite part about this brand is the formula. It doesn't clump, or 
dry out so your lashes feel like hard wires. It's easy to
take off even if it's waterproof and very easy
to build up. It's the best drugstore mascara
out there, in my opinion.

Let's talk about Lips!

I know, I know. It's been awhile. It's been...4 months... Sorry!! I've been MIA but for good reasons! A: I no longer have any laptops of my own. Both of mine decided to quit working in the same week! THE SAME WEEK! I was heart broken. Laptops don't grow on trees either so I haven't been able to replace them with anything. (I've got my fingers crossed for one from Santa) B: I've moved. Moving and blogging don't really go hand in hand sooo..that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I've decided to do review's on all of my current products starting with my most used lip balms and lipsticks. Now I am not an expert on makeup especially lip products. I don't usually use a lot of lip things, in face, these are what I own in the lip department. Not a whole lot but it's (in my opinion) the essentials.



  • Maybelline New York Baby Lips with SPF 20
    • So this stuff is amazing. It's such a moisturizing lip balm that makes my lips feel so so good. I opted for the un-tinted but their are a lot of other tinted versions of this that I will be trying in the spring/summer months. The SPF is one thing that I can say has really helped my lips out. One downfall: I sometimes get that white line from using this but it's rare. It's just a sign that I have been applying way too much.
  • Revlon ColorBurst Balm Stain in Crush
    • I don't know if you can tell in the above picture but this lip crayon has gold flecks in it! GOLD FLECKS! It's so beautiful on my lips. I don't know if it's because of my very pale complexion or if I just have the right lip shape but dark colors just compliment me so well! I originally got this lip stain to slowly try out the dark berry look. I love this stuff! It's very moisturizing and because it's a stain it lasts all day! 
  • Sugar Lips Fresh Tinted Lip Treatment
    • Wow. I feel like that's a good description. I love this moisturizer. This makes my lips feel so soft they don't even feel like my lips anymore! It's tinted, yes, but not so much where it looks like I have lipstick on. It's just that perfect tint that brings out your natural lip color. This also has an SPF of 15! Not as much as the Baby Lips but enough to readily protect your lips from that harsh, harsh sunshine.
  • Noyah Lipstick in Deeply in Mauve
    • I got this cute little sample in  my latest ipsy bag and holy crap do I love it! This is more of matte berry toned lipstick that really screams Fall! It's so nourishing that it almost feels like a lip balm but so pigmented that it definitely passes as a lipstick I have been wearing the heck out of this lipstick (as you can see by how messy it looks) and I am for sure going to be purchasing a full sized version of it soon! I love it!
