Weekend fun .

ahhh let's talk about tonight ! I just got home and right now it's 2 in the morning lol . Sometime I hate my bad sleeping schedule so much . I look more and more like a little night owl everyday >_________< eek . But yeah , I went out with my friends earlier and I had so much fun even though it was raining all night . My friend's car won't start and we had to wait in the car for 45 minutes till someone come to the rescue . However , once I got there , the atmosphere was so much fun and moving that I can't help being in a good mood :) . Just wanna write a random post haha . Hope everyone also having a fun weekend ;)

The Balm hauls review .

If you guys didn't know , I've only been doing make up very recently . To me , all the make up brands out there are new and exciting ,I want to try them and I would love to have them all >:)) . However sadly , I'm still only an undergraduate ...just patiently waiting ...and still waiting to be done with college and money is still a big issue . Enough chit chat though , I just want you to know that this is my first time trying out TheBalm products and let me tell you , they are quite lovely to have :)

First is their Balm Shelter tinted moisturizer SPF 18 retail for 25$

for 25$ , you get a 64 ml sized bottle , it is quite moisturizing . Go on skin smooth and nicely without the heavy feeling . But as far as coverage go , it is a very light coverage .

What I have is in light/medium . I think I could do a little lighter but once it blend out , the color match nicely with my skin .





















Next is The mini kabuki brush , retails for 12$

I don't like the way the packaging look and it's  inconvenient having to pull the brush out everytime I want to use it . It is very dense for a little brush but I don't think it's that soft or worth 12 $ 















Compare to my tinted moisturizer , it's look soooo small lol






























Hot ticket nail polish in Jade in the USA retails for 10$
If there's anything that I thought I won't like out of these products , it would be this nail polish . I just didn't like the color in the bottle but boyyy , once it's painted on my nail , it became this really nice , neutral green . Very pretty . I love it! I think I would definitely buy more of these if TJmaxx has them .And I would get all the pink shade that they carry too xD

Sorry , I was in a rush to write this review for you guys so I didn't paint all of my fingers nails :( .











And heres all the blushes / powder products
Hot Mama Blush ( peachy pink simmer) retails for 19$

 It looked peach coral from afar but once you see it up close , there's a brown undertone to it also .
It lasts for hours and look very natural on my face :).
I like the mirror that included as well .










Frat Boy Blush ( Peachy Apricot)  retails for 21$
This blush goes on nicely and stays for hours . I love this color so much on my cheeks that I find myself reaching  to it every morning nowadays .

Sexy Mama anti shine , translucent power retails for 19$
Personally I had high hope for this product . It goes on nicely and it helps with my make up to stay put , however it only helped with the shine for about an hour or two .

 Shady Lady Eyeshadow in Jealous Jordana retails for 16$
This is such a deep shimmering green . I like the color and how easy it is to blend out . There's very little fall out too which i think is very neat . However I'm not sure if I would repurchase this if I had to pay the full price .

Stainiac retails for 17$ 

It's available in three different shades and I believe I have the darkest pink ( Berry pink)are known with the name " Beauty Queen"  . Could be use for either lips or pink and the color is just so lovely on my skin /lips :) Highly recommended! It also smells niceee

Balm Shelter SPF 17( retails for 19) and Plum your pucker tinted gloss ( retails for 15$)
I have Balm Shelter in Valley Girl ( golden peach shimmer) unlike other gloss that I have , this one really does moisturize my lips instead of drying it out even more . The color doesn't stay put that long but I don't mind reapply it .
I have Plum your pucker in two shades :Passion my fruit ( sparkly mauve )and Tutti my Fruit ( sparkly orange ish ) I'm really impressed with the shade passion my fruit . It looked dark in the bottle but the color is very pigmented on my lips , not too dark at all .Tutti my Fruit is a fun orange color that isn't too overwhelming .



Two of the products that I didn't really like was the Cheater Mascara and the Spot concealer . The Mascara is very clumpy once I put it on and the spot concealer ( in Honey) didn't quite match my skin tone .
 

 Now last but not least is the Betty Lou Manizer ( All in one Bronzer ,Shimmer , and Eyeshadow) retails for 24 $ . I like how this product isn't too shimmery and it isn't too dark as a bronzer since I have light skin . And since you can also use it as shimmer and eyeshadow , it is well worth the investment :)

Here are some swatches , sorry I can't do it one by one . It's getting late and I have school tomorrow :( sighhhhhh

Hello!

            I guess to every beginning of a new blog is that one kinda -sorta- very awkward welcome post ! But here it is hehe >:D . After my Yahoo 360 blog died years ago I stopped writing blog completely . Don't know why but yeah , the thought of making a new one never occurred to me . However , nowadays I read a lot of blogs . Make up blogs mostly ahhh . There is definitely something about hauls and product reviews and things as such that could never bored me . And I don't know , here I am starting a new blog at 2 A.M in the morning ....and it's not like I have a good reason at all but it's okay , I forgive myself :) just like how I'm gonna forgive myself for spending a pretty good amount of money on a shu uemura palette . I personally never own anything from his make up line so this is pretty exciting . Wish me luck ! Hopefully this palette won't let me down xD .
ahhh I'm going to do a review about some make up from The Balm soon :) I just recently bought a bunch of them from TJ maxx for an amazing deal! So yeah that is it .
Have a good day everyone :)
