Tarte Amazon Escape Palette :)

Tarte;
Amazon Escape palette!
I got this palette for Christmas from my mom with a couple more things, ill talk more about those in my haul! Anyway This is my first palette from Tarte and I must say it completely got me hooked on Tarte! The colors are sooo pigmented and beautiful. There are some shimmer colors; tame, tribal, camo and canopy. There are also some matte yet velvety colors; rope and rare. It also includes two blushes which are free which is a rosé with gold shimmer, gorgeous! And there is exposed which is a little bit darker of a pink but still fabulous and matches my skin complexion very well!

My first impression on the palette was the clutch look of the case! It's soo cute, and travel friendly casing. Once you open it, it comes with a rookie friendly (like myself) card that gives you direction. Personally I started singing when I saw it because im fairly new in the makeup world so it really helps my ass out! It gives you a daytime look on one side and night on the other. Sooo thankful that Tarte thought about the normal, everyday girls who are just starting out, made me love them even more!!

The first time I used it was like the day I got it because I really wanted to dig in and see what the palette was about and of course practice. I tried out the daytime look tht the tutorial card came with and I was like "OH MY GOODNESS"!! My makeup looked decent!! Hahahahaaa! All I did was literally follow the card step by step and it came out really pretty! I was in love<3
My overall love for this palette, well Tarte in general is just... Well... Obsession really. I LOVE all the products I have from them. I really wanted to try their stuff out because I have acne scars and oily, acne prone skin. With their all natural products and the maracuja oil, I mean whats not to love!

I recommend it for everyone, newbs like me or veterans, awesome palette!

Hair cutting


Hey yall! The end of December and the first week of January we did hair cuts. A lot of people were showing off thier frustrated, angry, impatient sides because we have 1 teacher trying to teach like 25 bon qui qui's. They were so ANNOYING saying shit like, "I dont need to learn a 45 degree cut because im gonna specialize in weave!" UGHHH!! I feel like why not learn as much as you can so that if someone wants their weave styled in a 45 degree you ACTUALLY know what the fuck your doing! Man I tell you sometimes I just want to throw a blowdryer at someones FACE!.. Anyway we had a busy week learning blunt cuts, 180's, 90's and everything inbetween! Literally we had no class time to study for this test and our teacher had told us that a lot of people fail it so I was really nervous but I mean I smashed it! Im so proud of myself!! Next month we start going on the floor which means that we get to do ACTUAL customers.. AAAHHHHH! Real people in my chair is probably going to send me into anxiety overload but I love the challenge :)

Christian Louboutin Rolandos<3

Christian Louboutin Rolando;
Its time to introduce yall to my obsessive, compulsive, out of control shoe OBSESSION. I figured why not start with my beautiful blue suede Rolandos I bought back in 2009! They were my very first pair of Loubs I ever bought!! It seems like yesterday I was in Orlando shopping and saw them in the Neiman and Marcus window and my heart was like .... IM IN LOVE! :) They were a bit more than I expected to pay for some blue suede shoes but when they made their debut on New Years I was definitely the envy of every female in the room. I must say when Christian Louboutin said he doesnt make his shoes for comfort, he makes them for style, he was sooo right but they are soooo worth it, all of it. These are my babies and I step lightly when I wear them, thats fo'sho!! The heel is 120mm high and they are way easier to walk in than the Daffodiles. I believe they come in patent leather black, nude and a couple other colors. They are available at christianlouboutin.com, neiman and marcus and saks fifth ave. I bought these a couple years ago so your best bet is to go directly to his website to buy them exactly how you want them.

Black Ops 2 Double xp weekend :)

Soooo this past weekend Treyarch had a kick off to the holiday season by having Double XP weekend ^_^ ! Since I had this nasty, bulging, living off my lip cold sore, I literally sat on my ass all weekend with my Abreva and my Patron playing Black Ops 2. My favorite gun to use is the PDW-70 with a suppressor and a grip. Sometimes I add a primary gunman and add extended clip or some kind of scope depending on the map I'm playing. Well this weekend I took advantage of the double XP to the max! I prestiged 2x and am now on prestige 3 :)! The only bad thing about that is that now when I get thrown into teams, there are people who have prestiged like 7 or 8 times; it's like WTF! They dont even let you respawn, they camp and end up having a score of like 70 kills and 2 deaths! That's where im trying to be at! The good thing about it is that I've unlocked the gold camo on my gun!! IT's sooooo fuckin pretty!! I LOVE it! While playing this weekend though I saw someone, well I was killed by someone, who had my PDW diamoned out! Do you hear me!?? DIAMONED CAMO!! So of course I looked into it and it turns out you have to unlock every camo in that particular class to unlock the diamond camo. I immediately started working on it!! I find the hardest part about unlocking everything is the bloodthirsty tags/emblems. To get 1 bloodthirsty you have to get 5 kills in a row without dying. I was so frustrated! I would get to 4 and then I would get sniped or recklessly die by something dumb like a bouncing betty or some shit like that!! To unlock every skull camo, which is the last camo before gold, you have to get 10 bloodthirstys... I'm at 4 on my LAST gun!! I find it easy to play domination and have the ghost perk on with a suppresor and CAMP the fuck out! Set up shop between A and B or B and C and have tons of PATIENCE! You will find yourself cussing the tv out in most occasions but when you get them it'll pay off for this beauty of a gun!!! This is the PDW-70 in a diamond camo!! Isn't it just beautiful?!

O.P.I DS Reflection

I told you guys I was going to have another review from this OPI DS collection! This one is called DS Refelection and its not as stunning as I thought it was going to be but I do like it. Its pink with purple, orange and gold flakes in it. Its calmer than Ds Luxurious and its more appropriate for offices and shit like that. I like the loud polishes, like "hey girl, i got my nails did" polishes. When its outside its really pretty, the way the sun hits these polishes is just awesome. Definitely wearing these for more than one day :)


                                              This one is how it looks outside ^-^

Chillin' at Cosmetish's Crib

So I went over to Cosmetish's house to get my first of weekly makeup classes, and I was completely OVERWHELMED!! Like seriously, look at all those colors and brushes and whatever else is going on right there! First of all, I barely know what mascara is or eye liner or for that matter a freaking eye curler thing!! Like who does that to their poor eyelashes! Anyway since im studying to be a Cosmetologist I HAVE to learn this stuff and not only that but be GOOD at it because just imagine if I graduate and some poor little girl wants me to do her prom makeup or something and I totally just fuck her face up with makeup because I dont know anything about it!! She would be mortified and I would be fired!



So we started with the basics; brushes and their purposes, shit that I should buy like primer and what kind of makeup is good to start with. She explained steps to application on a basic smokey eye and I couldnt help myself so I started with blue shades instead of black :) Its funny because after 20 mins I was finally done blending (which she said is the NUMBER 1 thing to learn and get good at). She then gave me an eye liner which is NYC liquid liner and said close the eye your going to work on and both of my eyes closed... I CANT CLOSE JUST ONE EYE! LOL I guess they were just meant to be together forever. I gave up trying to put eye liner on, so she did that for me but she gave me homework to try and keep one eye open while I work on the other.. ^-^   This is the finished look, which AMAZED me because I truely had sooo much trouble with everything, especially since this was my FIRST time doing makeup.. like ever! I loved the whites and blues and how they came out. I used coastal sense palettes, nyc liquid liner, covergirl lashblast mascara and glamoflauge concealer/ foundation. Not too shabby for my first makeup class :)

Orogold Review

We all know my face has PLENTY of scars from my acne days, and im still not out of my acne stage :/ !! I bought this stuff over a year ago, and the sales woman made it seem like some kind of miracle, so of course I bought into it and have been using it ever since. This stuff isnt cheap, at all!

I use the facial serum almost every day. It makes your skin really silky smooth without all the oil buildup and has gold flake to it, and makes your face look really nourished and healthy. The bottle says; This 24K Vitamin C Booster Serum is flecked with 24K gold pieces. It illuminates and brightens the skin immediately while rapidly diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combined with the 24 Karat Gold, Vitamin E & C, this unique combination gives your skin a youthful, ultra smooth, glowing look with a citrus aroma. It pretty much hits the spot! One of my favorite face serums ive tried,  it costs $198.00 for 30ml.

 In my case I bought the deep peeling mask to try to help with my horrible, ugly, deep acne scars... I used it once a week, for a little over a year. It advertises as such; 24K Deep Peeling is designed to provide a powerful facial cleansing by removing a thin layer of dry cells to reveal ultra-smooth and youthful skin. It is specially formulated to gently polish, renew and revitalize the skin without stripping away vital oils or irritating the skin. 24K Deep Peeling is formulated with 24 Karat Gold as well as ingredients such as Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Green Tea.  While you are using it, you see the dirt and dead skin cells bunch up and come off. You could tell its really cleansing the week off! Although I wouldnt recommend it to people with acne problems, it cleanses but doesnt prevent. This one costs $128.00 for 50 ml.

 Over all its a good product and I would recommend it for people who want a healthy glow year round. A little bit of this product goes a long way so it does last you a while, yet it is costly and if you have horrible acne like I do, it doesnt help much at all. The only place i know where to buy it is orogoldcosmetics.com or maybe amazon or ebay, but I wouldnt trust quality with this kind of product if it it bought on ebay.  Let me know your feedback if you've used this product! Did it do what you thought it would?!
