btw...the E.L.F. Makeup Brush Belt I bought... AWESOME... looks just like the MAC one.. but much cheaper..Normally $15 but i had a coupon for half off of $15... So I payed $7.50 for it! AWESOME! The coupon code was Carolina... check it out! Maybe it will work for you too still! As long as your order is $15 or more you get half off the $15.

Why are people so rude/ show some love for Kandee too

I do not understand how some people can just be so rude.. First off, to this amazing girl KANDEE JOHNSON... she is an amazing mother, all she does is talk about her kids, half of her funny videos on you tube is her buying things and making things for her children.. I know plenty of children that could use a mom like her who does everything for her kids. I wish you all of those terribly unhappy rude self absorbed people would focus on making their own lives as happy as Kandee and all of us that LOVE her and her work. I just dont see how someone with such a beautiful,happy and joyous soul can be accused of not having a happy livable environment in her home. If she can brighten my day and bring joy, happiness and inspiration to as many people as she does through the internet then i am MOST POSITIVE that her living environment and living with her is much better then the average persons living standards.

SECOND... if you say you absolutely love one thing, you should support everyone and anyone who loves or finds joy in the same things as you. I was so offended when i tried to tell everyone on a makeup page how exited i was about making a blog, and having a fan page and starting my makeup business, and was told how stupid my post was that i just deleted it. I do not, and will not ever understand people that ENJOY being rude and tearing other people down. That can not possibly make for a happy life..

So please if ANYONE knows what it is that makes mean people tick...let me know! I just do not understand why you could be so unhappy that you want to make everyone else feel terrible instead of changing your own attitude and having a positive outlook on things!

I wish happy thing and love your way always and forever!

I have officially made my blog so you can comment without having an account SO write away! :)

How to pick a foundation for YOU ...plus some inexpensive products :)

Alright ladies, I know not everyone can afford NARS, and MAC and big brands,(including myself right now) but there are still good foundations out there for you that are much more affordable :)


So heres kind of a map to help you pick the right foundation for yourself! :)

First you need to know your skin type, knowing this will help you pick products that will stay on your face and not melt off, or look "cakey" or shiny because of oil!
Please remember that not one skin type is better then the other! Everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way :)


1. Normal Skin type: You have a smooth even texture to your face, with small pores, but with slightly dryer cheeks then the rest of your face. You rarely experience shine on your t-zone and maybe slightly larger pores on the nose chin and forehead. (make sure after you wash your face, use a light moisturizer to keep the skin from becoming too dry)

2. Dry/Extra Dry Skin Type: Feels tight after you wash your face,and it may look dry flaky rough and uneven. You have almost invisible pores and you show fine lines fast when you wear makeup. (p.s. you should drink more water then the average person)

3. Oily Skin Type: Your skin is shiny and oily most of the day, you have large visible pores and very frequent breakouts but you show very few signs of aging (make sure you wash your face at LEAST twice a day)

4. Combination Skin: You have an oily t-zone but dry cheeks or dry spots on your face.You have larger pores on your forehead, nose and chin. (you need to make sure you are regularly cleansing, toning and moisturizing your face)

Alright, now once you have decided on your skin TYPE, you can start to find the right kind of foundation.


Tinted Moisturizers - Normal to Dry Skin Types Benefit from these

Liquid Foundations - Dry to Extra Dry

Oil Free Liquid Foundations - oily skin or combo skin in the summer time or in humid climates.

Whipped Foundations - Combination skin

Oil Free Cream Foundations - Normal to oily skin

Oil Free Powder Compacts - Oily skin

Mineral Powders -Very Oily Skins


When you are looking to buy a foundation whether its from a high quality cosmetic counter or your local Walgreens, test out a little of it, see if you like the texture of it, let it dry and see if it hides unwanted lines or if you absolutely would have regretted buying it!

My personal favorite (for myself) right now is Revlon Color Stay for Combination/Oily Skin, in 180 Sand Beige. They have it for all skin types. I would have to say revlon is one of my favorite "inexpensive" brand types for foundations at the moment.
As far as blush...(O BABY i could spend a TON OF MONEY here)... E.L.F cosmetics...the blush is great especially for $1 - $3 a blush! who can beat that?!
Mascara? Can you believe it? I actually like N.Y.C. mascara..its $1...maybe 2 at Walmart :) And im going to be trying out the new improved Cover Girl Lash Blast in a few days. Ill let you know how i like that! :)
For a powder, I know I know, You want the cheaper stuff, but MAC's powders are really the best. They last forever im talking about ON YOUR FACE and in the Compact. If you want your face to keep from getting oily, I suggest you buy a good powder to soak up the oil. Besides youll save loads if you start buying some E.L.F. blush ;)



I also really like the Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow:) Its soooo pretty on everyone basically, and i use it as eye primer sometimes to add some extra shimmer and glitter, or use it as eye shadow:)


Alright, so those are some of my favorite right now! let me know if you like this blog or not! :) If you do ill post more like this.Please leave me comments, questions, and things you want to know!:)I hope you all have a happy and pretty day :)

Tip Tuesday

OK, well its not Tuesday YET..but close enough i say! :) My Makeup Tips for the day are here! :)

How to get your eye makeup to stick!



Youre going to want to make sure when you put your foundation on, that you make sure you cover your entire eye! I mean ALL THE WAY from the lash line to the eyebrow! You dont want your veins or any redness showing through your eye shadow! *that's not cute*

Then, you should use some powder to set it, so everything on top BLENDS well and doesnt move :) Put your primer ontop of that to make it really POP! you can use a concealer to double as your primer ;)

Now you can go wild! DO a natural look or completely Hollywood! When you put on your eyeliner (almost last, before the mascara) use the same color of the eye shadow as you put on eyeliner on top to set it. For example, if you put on a blue eye liner, put on a blue shadow on top! It makes it last longer! :)
