MAC & Sheer Cover Haul ♥

Hey girliesss!

This is my very first haul, with of course many more hauls to come!! This one is on a bunch of MAC and only one Sheer Cover product. I got some as a gift, but others I bought.


The first product is a MAC Eye Shadow called FLIP.


It's a gorgeous shimmery gold eye shadow, and if you don't know I LOVE gold eye shadows! It's not super high pigmented which isn't much of a problem for me, but it is definitely buildable.



The second product is another MAC Eye Shadow called Haunting.


Now normally, I wouldn't purchase a blue eye shadow by itself because it's not like I would ever wear it on a daily basis. But thinking of all the fun makeup looks you can create with this, I just thought I had to give it a try. It was something new! Besides, Halloween is just around the corner and I feel like I know just the perfect look this can help me create.


It's a gorgeous blue, and it's matte. Very lovely colour!


The third product is MAC Hyper Real/Pressed (Highlighter) in Warm Rose FX.


 Such a beautiful, beautiful highlighter! It looks like fairy dust, and I love it! It has a tad bit of shimmer, just the right amount for that beautiful glow. In the pictures it looks a little pink-ish, and looks a little peach pink in real life, but when put onto your skin it's just a pretty white shimmer.


 It's also very pigmented; you may notice so when you rub your fingers on, you will get a lot on your finger. Like most highlighters, it's buildable on the skin.


It also comes with a little powder patter? Hahah! I have no idea what you call them, but I guess their those brushes you can use to apply the highlighter with, which I don't recommend you use.


The fourth product is the one and only (in the Haul) Sheer Cover Face Palette in Sophisticate. 




The colours are absolutely gorgeous!! I'm telling you, it's like the dream palette (almost). The first colour on the top left is actually a blush (I think). In the picture it looks a little dead, but in real life it's actually a pretty soft pink colour. The second one right beside it is a gorgeous brown and tan colour. The first one on the bottom left (very sorry that you're not very able to see it!!) is a pretty pink and another gorgeous shimmery gold eyeshadow!! And the last one beside it is a matte black with a dead matte pink colour.


Tell me these colours aren't so pretty! I'm way too scared to even touch them yet, so I'm very sorry again about not being able to see the bottom one properly!



As you can see, this palette also comes with another one of these "Powder Patters"! Again, I don't quite recommend you use one of these to apply your makeup. Also the palette comes with a sponge brush and a little eye shadow brush (which again you cannot see!).


I know what you're thinking.."You left out one product!" No I didn't, I just couldn't take any good pictures of it plus I don't think it needs much explanation other than it's a foundation sponge. I actually got this for free in Sephora so...yeah! I don't think I'll use this much..or never at all.

Anyways, we've finally reached the end of this loooong and picture heavy post! Hope you enjoyed this haul, and let me know what you think about these products and if I should do more hauls! I'd love love to hear what you guys have to say.

See you on the next post!

Review: MAC Bronzing Powder ♥

Heyy cupcakes!

Yeess, from now on I shall call all my lovely viewers a type of food! Anyways! I'm here with another review! This time on Mac's Bronzing Powder. I got this a couple of weeks ago, but only had the thought to do a review on it now. What I like about this bronzer is the great colour on my skin and it's matte-ness. I must say though, I am extremely disappointed on the packaging. The zebra box is acceptable, but the packaging of the brozner itself is horrible. If you were to give this bronzer to someone alone and say that it's from MAC, I highly doubt anyone would believe so. At least I wouldn't. The design of the bronzer is just so cheap looking in my opinion and does not look high end, or a product from MAC. It also isn't that all too high pigmented. In fact to be honest, I have seen much better bronzers work better than this one which just proves brand isn't always the best. Plus the price wasn't that pretty.


Like always, I will be doing an overall review on this lovely product! Let me know if you guys prefer reviews with specific categorizing (pros,cons..) or just a whole paragraph on what I think of the product!

PROS:
♥Matte, therefore giving a natural finish

♥Soft, pretty colour
♥Easy to use
♥Long lasting
♥Since it's not too highly pigminted, it is buildable. 

CONS:
♥Cheap packaging

♥Not so highly pigmented
♥Price not very affordable but reasonable for MAC
♥Not the best quality for a high end product 


TIPS:
♥Using a brush will give off a better finish

♥Do not pack on this bronzer unless you like the super, super sunken cheeks look


WHERE TO FIND THEM:

♥MAC, Makeup Stores


What you guys think of this bronzer? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Would you give it a try? Let me know in the comments below! :)

As you may know, I've just moved a couple of days ago, therefore getting a new room with new furniture! My family and I went to visit Ikea last weekend. We bought me a new bed, a new dresser and other necessary items we needed for the house. That including these awesome Ikea Storage Boxes. This is actually my second time purchasing them!





MORE INFORMATION:
♥ They come in two different colours, White and Black.
♥There are three different sixes, one large, one small, and one long. In each pack comes six, two of each size. I shared this with my sister, so we both got three of each colour.

PROS:
♥They are great for putting stuff in such as: lotions, hair products, makeup products, nail polishes, and other things you don't have anywhere else to put them in.
♥They save space, and make it easier for you to find things.
♥They can be placed anywhere! Inside your drawer, in bookshelves, on top of desks, tables, night tables, anywhere you prefer.
♥The price is affordable!

CONS:
♥This item is only available in Ikea which some may not have access to.
♥The whites can get dirty/stained, so be careful what you place in them!

TIPS:
♥Put items that may possibly become dirty in the black boxes, and items that will not dirty on the white.
Example of things that may dirty: Makeup, Brushes, Nail Polish. Example of things that may not dirty: Hair products, Face products, Hair clips, Hair pins, etc.
♥If you don't like the look of too many things in your bedroom, putting them in your dresser will keep your bedroom looking clean and organized.

Rocky Road Bundles! ♥

Hey guys!

Today I got a really exciting post to share with you guys! Rocky Road Bundles! Say whaat? As you can probably tell, this dessert is based off of the Rocky Road flavour (I think?) Its ingredients are: Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chips, Marshmallows and anything crispy! Originally when I found this recipe, it included Ramen to be the crispy part, but I didn't like the idea of adding Ramen plus I didn't have any Ramen lying around the house...So, I tried the recipe with Lucky Charms Cereal instead. There are many things you can substitute Cereal/Ramen with. You can try using Rice Krispies Cereal or Almonds (Nuts), anything crunchy really. I mean, this IS Rocky Road.

Watch the tutorial here: tutorial 








Aren't they just the coolest? Oh, and here's the best part, NO BAKING IS NEEDED! Yeah, awesome right? Usually having to put things in the oven either is; tiring, chance of burning, time consuming, and messy! But this recipe only requires you to put it in the freezer. Usually the recommended time you leave it in the freezer is an hour, but in my case since I used an actual big freezer, it only took about 30 minutes. They stay pretty frozen on their own, so there's no worries that it will melt the moment you take it out of the freezer. You will get some chocolate on your fingers, but that doesn't worry me. I love licking my chocolate filled fingers! Hahahha. This recipe is absolutely delicious, crunchy, chewy, absolutely a must try. 

TIPS/NOTES:

♥Even though the recipe requires for you to put 1 cup of Peanut butter, I recommend you put less. Unless you want the peanut butter taste, put only half a cup or estimate how much Peanut butter taste you want in your Rocky Road bundles. 

♥Other ingredients you can use to make it crunchy are: Nuts (Preferably chopped Almonds), Rice Krispies, Other Cereals. Anything that is crunchy. Experiment!

♥Even though I mentioned that it does not melt easily, I still do not recommend you leave it out for too long. It belongs back in the freezer after you've eaten it. 

♥You do not need to completely follow the recipe. You can experiment, depending on your taste you may add more or less of the ingredients (the marshmallows, cereal, etc) 

Alright then, good luck! Let me know if you tried this and how it went for you!

Day 6: Anything Hello Kitty ♥

Hey again!

Sorry for the spam post, but I'm just trying to catch up with my 30 Day Challenge! Alright well this one's about anything Hello Kitty. I LOVE LOVE Hello Kitty, but I don't have much of the lovely little character. But I do have this really cute Hello Kitty necklace! It's the face of Hello Kitty bejeweled! Well..I guess you can say that.





It's a cute little necklace I got, but not quite sure where..I got this quite a while ago so I don't remember, but it's really adorable. I never wear it though just because I 'm not a fan of wearing necklaces but I just like having them. 

What's your favourite Hello Kitty item?
