Goodies Haul

I wanted to show you some of the goodies I've got. I didn't get all of them at once, but during the last two weeks or so :)
I've been really into DIY stuff lately.. Well, not lately, I've always loved doing things myself. As you know, I'm a very artistic and crafty person :P I did jewelry, bags, stuffed animals and dolls, polymer clay charms, greeting cards, etc. So I kind of got back to it lately.. Also, One of my current obsessions is bracelets! Love bracelets! Many of them. All kinds of them.

 Two new DIY clutches, handmade by me :)
 DIY bracelet of my own creation. Simple but so pretty and cute!
 A new bracelet and rings from Forever21 
 Always wanted this kind of ring, handmade out of glass, and finally got it, Along with matching earrings!
 Wanted to try the forehead-band trend.. So I got these colorful guys for headbands, forehead bands, or anything like that..
And finally, some drugstore goodies: Two more of the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows (LOVE these!) in "Too Cool" and "Painted Purple", another Sally Hansen Real Nail Polish Strips, in a denim design, called "Skinny Jeans" and a chocolate brown nail polish by Essie, called "Little Brown Dress".

That's it for now, guys! Have a great day! :)

CS 88 Original Eyeshadow Palette

If you have read my wishlist post, then you already know why I wanted this palette so much, and why I got it just now. I finally purchased it! :) I have to say the shipping time was great. I got it exactly one week after I've ordered it online from Coastal Scents. (Which is 5 business days if you won't count the weekend). They also included a free sample of "Fairy Wings" loose eyeshadow with the package. :) I really like the palette and I see now why so many people have talked about it so much on the internet. The pigmentation of the colors is great! I've swatched some of them without any base and the colors are very vibrant. I also like the fact that in this original palette you  have a variety of different textures and finishes of eyeshadows. And let's not forget of course the fact it is so cheap! Can't wait to play with it! I feel like just trying an eye look, then washing it off, then trying another one, and so on, while just staying at home :P

In this picture I've swatched only few of the colors, just so you can see how pigmented they are

Mail Haul!

I have ordered a Sigma brush belt two weeks ago, and also got a gift certificate from my new sponsor, Apothica, last week, and I've ordered some cute little things. Today I got both of the orders by mail and was so exited to finally get them! :) Also, I got this Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect nail polish in No 07 - "Sea".
Now that I'm on my way to get a professional makeup artist diploma, and am working as a MUA, I NEEDED a brush belt. It is so much more comfortable to have all of your brushes on your waist and not having to run and get the brush you need each time from the table. It's also making your work harder, wasting time and definitely looks unprofessional.
All of the brush belts I've seen on the market, including some high end stores like Sephora, were pretty expensive. Sigma had them for only 29$, and now they're on sale, so you can get them for only 24$! So I had to get one, considering the great price opportunity and the fact I LOVE Sigma! :) They have the brush belts in black and in pink. It has a variety of pocket sizes that can hold up to 50+ brushes (!) You can wear it on your waist, make the handle long and wear it over the shoulder, and even use it as a brush case by simply folding it in two. I LOVE IT! ^_^
The Apothica package came in a large box, (very quickly), with lots of materials to keep the fragile products from braking. They also included 2 free samples! One of an AHAVA anti wrinkles face cream (which I gave to my mother in law) and one of a NUXE Paris anti-oxidant moisturizing cream :) Can't wait to use all those things!
Enjoy the photos and have a wonderful week! <3

Sephora Haul!!

I went to Sephora and bought only 2 products, but it turned out I got back home with a bag (almost) full of products :)
I am still a little bit sick so you probably will hear that on the video.. So sorry about it.. I do have some good news tough :) I'm going to buy a new good camera so I can film some good quality videos and take good-zoomed pictures of my makeup so you can see better! It will be so much better and easier for both you and me!
