MyGlam Bag: April 2012


It's an even better party in a cuter bag this month! MyGlam time. (: What did I get this month?
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Junkie: travel size - "Create your unique eye look with these creamy glide on pencils in the latest colors. Built to last 24/7." I have yet to use this, but of course swatched it the minute my grubby little hands got a hold of it. The name has certainly got it right, because it glides on super smooth & gentle as if it was liquid liner in pencil form. Store link: here
Sorry, it's a little blurry. The baby glitters are so distracting for my camera.
  • All-Belle Eyelashes: full size, one pair - "Accentuate your eyes for any occasion with these gorgeous faux lashes." Not much else I can tell you about these considering they're from another country & I'm never worn fake lashes before... :p (*fellow beauty guru's gasp*) Experiment time!
  • DermStore Lip Quench Moisture Infused Lip Treatment: full size, retails for $12  - "Using a blend of nourishing oils this treatment softens and smooths lips." 2 words: Already. Obsessed. Icing on the cake? It smells like strawberries. Pretty, pearly pink color in the tube, but applies like a sheer gloss.
  • MyGlam All-Over Eyeshadow Brush & Eyeliner Brush - "Handpicked by Michelle, enjoy two additional signature pink brushes to add to your exclusive MyGlam collection." The more I get the more I like... Remember last month when the smell of the bag was mentioned by multiple people? Well, it's definitely not the brushes. Which is good! These ones are super soft & seem durable. PINK!
It's been a hit Glammies! I will be continuing my subscription.

Collective Haul: March 2012



Thanks for watching! XO Katie <3 (:

March Favorites: 2012

Hello lovelies! (: Happy Easter!!! I hope your day has been as relaxing as mine. Think it's time for March Favorties? You're most likely thinking "It's about time...:" Let's just get it all out now & say I'm a little bit slow (more like late) at everything in life. :p Lucky for you, late's better than never! But, let's quit the small talk & get onto the good stuff, A.K.A. the favorites.

  • 3Lab Perfect Cleansing Foam (As seen in the March MyGlam Bag.) - If you can afford this stuff, I say go for it. I have yet to use a facial cleanser that cleans as well as this. Have you ever had someone tell you something is clean when it makes a squeaky sound? WIth this product, your face will squeak. In a good way.
  • Up & Up's (Target's generic brand) Blemish & Blackhead Facial Scrub - Comparable to St. Ives Blemish & Blackhead Apricot Scrub... I like this better. I find the St. Ives one to be pretty harsh to the skin, while the Up & Up one is a more watery formula, making it more gentle.It's cheaper too!
  • Skintimate Skin Therapy Moisurizing Shave Gel (Lotionized) - Basically, it's lotion, used for shaving, which creates magic. Thick enough to protect agains nicks & cuts while moisturizing, thin enough to still allow your razor to do it's job.
  • E.L.F. Lash Extending Mascara - I only use this on my bottom lashes, but it dosen't clump, dries soft & is flake free, plus the brush is small & simple enough to keep the mascara away from the skin under your eyes.
  • E.L.F. blush in Candid Coral - Pretty color, pigmented, perfect for spring. 'Nuff said.
  • Love & Beauty Pretty Wild blush in Rose from Forever 21 - Ok, this comes packaged in black & leopard print. Does the blush even matter?! Just kidding... the color's great too. :) Super pigmented with enough product to get you through any "rosy cheek phase."
Rose, Candid Coral
  • Peach Bellini candle from Bath & Body Works - Just smell it. That's all it takes.
Does this list get smaller & smaller every month? Maybe it's just me.

Nail of the Day ft. Kiss/Broadway Nails!


Slight obsession? Yes. To get this look, I had to do a teeny bit of altering, but I got to experiment so it's all good. (: What's on my nails?
  • imPRESS Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails in Rock It - I did file these down to a slight square shape.
  • I painted over those ^^^ (Why? I didn't like the original design.) with Hot Ticket nail polish in Don't Pink & Drive by The Balm - 3 coats 
  • accent nail (ring finger) is the Nail Dress by Kiss Nails in Sexy
