MUFE Aqua Cream

I was going out with family and friends the other night and was looking for an eye shadow that would last throughout the night. I orginally planned on going to Sephora and picking up a 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil. After researching the UD pencils, I came across MUFE's Aqua Creams and headed to Sephora!

I was torn at first with which one I should choose but after finding out that the MUFE Aqua Cream was only two dollars more than the UD pencil and had double the amount of product it was a no brainer!

What Is It?

"An ultra-pigmented, long-lasting waterproof cream."

I picked up shade 15, which is a pretty copper color.

Size: 0.21 oz

What it does:
"Aqua Cream combines the highest-quality pigments with mother of pearl particles to give immediate rich color payoff with a luminous finish in just one application. It's long-lasting formulation will not crease or smudge under the most extreme conditions and its creamy and elastic texture allows for easy blending."

My Thoughts

I love love love it!!

I've been wearing it everyday since I purchased it and can't say enough great things about it. I will say that I noticed a little creasing when I skipped my eye primer (creasing, yuck!) Other than that, I love it! The staying power is really great, the woman at Sephora told me that I would need to buy MUFE's makeup remover but my removers and face wash took it off just fine.

If you're looking for a pretty, cream shadow or something that will last through a night of dancing I recommend this product! It comes so many beautiful colors, I'd buy them all if they weren't so pricey!

I'd love to hear your tips and product suggestions for long lasting makeup!!

August Birchbox

It's that time again, Birchbox time!!

I'll be honest, when I saw others Birchboxes I wasn't really thrilled with any of the products. I know a lot of people cancelled their subscription after receiving this months box as well.

Anyway, here we go!

After viewing a few boxes I hoped that I would get the box with the blinc mascara and Befine mask and night cream. I just thought that I would get the most use out of those products and lucky me, that was the box I got.

What's inside my Birchbox?

Befine- Night Cream

Upgrade your nighttime routine with this lush cream-cocoa spurs circulation, while rice bran keeps skin supple and healthy+Exfoliating Cleanser

Blinc- Mascara

This game-changing mascara encases your lashes in a thin tube of water-resistant formula that won't smudge, smear, or run.

Kate Spade New York- Twirl

This flirty scent is a fresh update on the classic fruity floral.

Liftlab-Lift & Fix

An anti-aging serum with a PhD-LiftLab's molecular biologists spent years perfecting a patented natural protein that strengthens and regenerates cells.

Extra-Twistband

This soft elastic gives the hair tie a sophisticated makeover- it looks as good on your wrist as it does on your hair.

What do I think about the products?

I just walked in the door from work and haven't been able to try any of the products listed other than the Kate Spade scent, which is WAY to strong of a scent if you ask for me! I tend to like very watered-down scents. I like soft vanilla's or light fruity scents, sorry Kate Spade, you're just a little too intense for me!

Tonight I plan on trying the Befine cleanser and the LiftLab serum. I'll be sure to update and share my feelings about all of the products listed.

Oh, as for the twistband...yuck. I wouldn't wear it on my wrist or in my hair! Ha ha. The big knot and long "tail" isn't attractive at all!! I love my goodie hair ties from Target, I don't use anything else!

Final Thoughts

I'm not super pleased or excited about this months box but I'm not giving up on Birchbox just yet! Hopefully next month has less skin care and more makeup!

I'd love to see and hear what you guys got in your Birchboxes! If you have any questions, please ask! Take care :)

Flower Power!

Good morning fellow followers!

In my last post I talked about going out to get flowers with my mother and I thought it would only be fitting if I showed you all how they came out!

Six bridesmaids & six bouquets with six flowers each

The bride wanted a simple bouquet with white and yellow roses

Fancy chinese boxes holding all the mens and mother of the bride and groom corsages! Ha ha

As always, take care & God bless!

Bright & Simple

I'm running out to pick up a large order of flowers with my mom, I'll post pictures later of what we're going to do with them all!

The skirt is from Forever 21

I have no idea where I got the tank top (tisk tisk!)

I'll be posting pictures of the flower "project" later :)

Take care!

Dinair Airbrush Kit Pt. 2

As promised I'm back with more information (and some photos, ek!) on the Dinair system. I've been using it for a week now and I'm still enjoying every second of it!

I purchased the system with the intent to use it for special occasions and "date nights" but once I started using it I feel in love with the coverage and staying power that I've been wearing it everyday!

I picked the compressor in the color "White Pearl"

Final Thoughts

Maybe it's because of my Canon camera but my skin doesn't look flattering at all in the first photo! Ha ha. Firstly I'd like to say that I do leave my house without makeup and that I still feel confident and beautiful. God made all of us with different skin, hair and body types and we're all beautiful now matter how we feel about ourselves on our "off days"!

Back to the makeup! Ha ha. My color match is four drops of alabaster mixed with two drops of golden beige. Alabaster is pink toned, which fits my skin type perfectly! I used nothing other than dinair products on my skin for the end result. I look the photos after my first time using them (hence the over spray on my lips and everywhere else! Ha ha). The first application took me over twenty minutes, now I do it in under four minutes and I love the outcome.

Would You Recommend Dinair?

Yes, I would completely recommend Dinair to friends and family and to all of my lovely subscribers! I've stated this before but I'll say it again, this system was an investment for me. I went back and forth with the idea of buying this product because of it's cost. I buy a lot of products each month that don't work for my skin or break me, to have something I love and know works is amazing. What I would have spent on dead end products I know ended up saving on using my Dinair. I love it and couldn't recommend it anymore if they paid me!!

(I'm not being paid nor was this system given to me, just incase I didn't state that already! Ha ha)

If you have any questions at all, please ask me and I will be more than happy to answer them. Whether it's about this product or any other!

Thanks so much for reading!! Take care :)

"Watcha" Wearing?

I thought I'd mix it up a bit and show my outfit (yes, I'm faceless!!!). I've been working nine hour days recently but I'm going to work on putting time aside to make sure I blog!

Nothing fancy

The shorts are mossimo- Target

The watch is bongo BG147- I purchased it from sears

The shirt is C&S- Pac Sun

Kay Jewelers 7-Diamond Journey Necklace

Random Tidbit

This might sound silly, but I couldn't be more excited that I have three followers!! Ha ha Thanks so much for reading and following ladies!!! It's nice to know I'm no longer "talking to myself" ha ha.

Until next time, take care!!! :)

Nude Nails

I wanted to use the nail polish that Birchbox had sent me to replace the ybf eyebrow pencil I received that was broken. I know I've said it before but Birchbox has the best costumer service I've ever seen experienced!

I'm wearing ZOZA polish in "Pandora"

It's a glossy pink toned nude, I applied two coats and it's still a tad sheer. I put on a top coat of Sally Hansen "Mega Shine" (though I didn't notice it add anymore shine) and they chipped within two days.

All and all I do like the color and maybe if I purchase a better top coat it would last longer? I've been hearing great things about Seche Vite, perhaps I'll give a try!

If you have any tips or recommendations on polishes and topcoats I'd love to hear them! Thanks for reading :)
