July Hauling

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. Mine was relaxing and the best part was the food. We made barbecue chicken, grilled flank steak, veggie salad, grilled corn, and my veggie pineapple upside down cake. It actually has carrots and zucchini baked right in.









Although I promised myself to slow down on the hauls, that hasn't happened as of yet but I am working on it. Sooo disappointed in myself, but there are so many products out there that I want to try. So here's what I just got.

Girlactik Sparkle Eye Liner Set
I first saw this product on ItsJudyTime. She made it look so amazing that I wanted to try it. I ordered the Champagne Eyeliner Set which includes a base, the sparkle, and a mini brush. This product can be used as eyeliner or as cream eyeshadow. Judy was right, the excess sparkles come right off with a cotton ball, but the base doesn't have the stickiness factor that I had hoped for to adhere more sparkles. All in all though it is a really cute and easy kit to use if you love sparkles like I do. You just apply the base and press the sparkles on top of it.





Jesse's Girl Cosmetics
Thanks to beauty blogger Neiko, this week I was pleasantly suprised to find out that Rite Aid, my fav drugstore, carries this line of cosmetics. I got an eye dust, one eyeshadow, and two black kohl eyeliners for myself because I always misplace my MAC one. This line is extremely affordable. Nothing that I got was over $3.99! Maybe because my UDPP seems to be running dry these days (I'm dreading opening that sucker up and scraping it out)but the color payoff wasn't that great on me. Luv the nail polish and liner though.





Double Stack Palette
Since I am trying to get more into doing more dramatic, brighter, and less shimmery looks I jumped on the bandagon and got my own double stack palette. The colors looked so gorgeous on Ren, so I decided to try them for myself. I absolutely love this palette for it's colors, and the blush palette that underneath the shadows. In this look I used the colors cirlced below.





Lastly, here is a photo of a bride I recently did. I honestly can't remember the exact colors that I used, but I used my Cinema Secrets Foundation, Coastal Scents Blush, MAC shadows, and lipstick. Her lashes were Ardell half lashes.
