Not the Raccoon Eyes!

Photobucket

Hello Makeup Lovers, I am here with a beauty tip that I have been using sense I was a teenager. Black eyeliner and mascara is the only makeup I can't live with out, they make my blue eyes pop. Yes I know black eyeliner is a little harsh on my light eyes, but that’s what I like about it. But what I really hate about black eyeliners and mascaras is that no matter what I will always have raccoon Eyes. Sometimes I will have them at the end of a really long work day, after I wash my face, or I will wake up to a scary raccoon with messy hair staring right back at me in the mirror. And what’s even worse then a raccoon eye is having an empty bottle of eye makeup remover. That’s ok, just put on some lipstick and hopefully you can pull off a new crazy look. Yep you can be the new Lady Gaga. No problem! Or people just won't notice. O just kidding, of course people are going to notice.

The truth is all you need is you daily face moisturizer, Q-Tipp, or a tissue. Very simple.

Photobucket

You just take a Q-Tip or tissue with a small amount of moisturizer and carefully whip all the black that’s around your eye. It will clean the black right off. I feel like it works way better then any eye makeup remover. But the only bad thing about it, you can't clean you eyelashes with it. You know want happens when you get moisturizer in your eyes. DO NOT USE BODY LONTIONS. It will sting and it’s not good for your face. Well the ones with perfume in it. I hope this tip will come in handy for you guys one day.

Photobucket
Stay raccoon eyes free.
What’s your favorite beauty tip that you learned?

Fancy Schmancy Nails!

Photobucket

Hello Makeup lovers,

Are you going on a date? To a wedding? Or just someplace nice? Here is a cute, easy, and cheap nail idea for you all. There’s no need to go to the "Pick a colorr" ladies to get some fancy nail design. All you have to do is sick them on.

I didn't plan on putting the kiss Nail Dress Fashion that Sticks stickers on my nails. What happen was that I got a white nail polish in my glam bag last week. My first thought was "how am I going to pull off white nail polish. Then a light blub came popping right out of my head. I painted my nails white. Grab my nail stickers that I got from Wal-Mart and put them on every other nail. Well it wasn't that easy.

The kiss Nail Dress Fashion that Sticks stickers comes in so many different designs but if you want this one, then you’re in luck because Wal-Mart only carries this one. I have been to two different Wal-Marts and this was the only design that I could find. I know target has a few designs.
If you are going to use these for a nice event I would paint my nails the night before and put the stickers on a few hours before you go. That’s if you do a lot with your hands and want to keep them nice because they do like to peel off a little.

Photobucket

You can also put these on your toes too.
So I hope you guys get your stickers on.
Stay cool and safe on these hot summer days!

Happy 4th

Happy 4th makeup lovers!!!

Hope everyone having a fun 4th or will have one.
If you are not at a cookout yet here is an awesome nail art to do. It’s really not that hard to do.

Photobucket

What you need:
Any: Base coat
White nail polish
Blue and red nail Polish
Top coat
If you want add gold or silver glitter nail polish. Only a little.
A paint brush, eyeliner brush, or a nail art brush.
You take the white nail Polish put it on top of the base coat. When dry take deep the nail art brush into the red and make a line drown the middle of you nail. Don’t worry about making a perfect sight line. As you can see in the pics I did not make perfect lines. Then after you clean of the nail brush with nail polish remover, take the blue and fill in the white lines. Let it dry a litte. But don't forget to add top coat to last longer and add some shine. I add some gold glitter to every other nail. You don’t have too if you take the red and blue is too much all ready.
See it not that hard to do and it’s just a fun and crazy way to celebrate the 4th.
If you need a makeup look for today or tonight then check out my video.


Have a fun and crazy day but safe at the same time. :)

BB Creme = Love

Photobucket

Hello makeup lovers,
Hope you guys are having a fun and sun-safe summer so far. I know it’s hard to remember to reapply sunscreen when you are to busy having fun on the beach, pool, parks, or even in Hawaii. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
Also make sure you are wearing some sort of SPF everyday no matter what season it is or if it’s raining outside. Make sure you wear something that has at least SPF 15 in your Foundation, Moisturizer, or even BB cream.
Most of the time I put on Olay Complete with SPF 15 then I put Physicians Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 over it. I only put Foundation on the days I don’t work because I don't really have enough time in the morning to do my whole face routine on the days I work.
Well a few weeks ago me and my mom went to Estee Lauder because they were having their free gift time! Yay for free gifts. Well kind of free. We had to spend at lest $36 to get it. Soo to make this long story short I fell in love with their BB cream.
What’s a BB cream? Its awesomeness in a tube duhhh! NO it’s really an all in one kind of thing. It’s a Moisturizer and Concealer that protects and bighting your skin. It gives you a nice light coverage. It has SPF 35 witch is awesome! BB cremes is perfect for busy moms, people who just want a light coverage, or for people like me who can't get out of bed early enough to put on her face. I really like this because it makes me look bight and awake in the morning and it covers up my dark circles under my eyes. You can also wear this as a Primer under your Foundation if you are going out at night.
A lot of companies are making BB cremes now and they are even in drug stores too. But BB cremes were frist made in Asia I believe. Its was so big there that it can to USA. YAY!!!
This is worth a try!

Photobucket
I don't know how the other kinds of BB creams feel or look like. But this one is a lot thicker then a Foundation and it has a little suntan lotion smell to it.

Photobucket
This is after I wash my face and before I put the creme on.

Photobucket
After :)
What BB Cremes do you guys use? Or have tried? What do you like or dislike about it?

I was just going to upload a new makeup tutorial on YouTube buttt as I was edited it I couldn't see where I was putting the eye shadows and the lighting was just bad. I will redo this look once I have the time. I'm thinking sometime next week.

Then right after I am grabbing my bags and having a fun weekend. I just clean all my makeup blushes and put everything I’m going to use in a bag where I can just garb and go. But I have to pack my things for the weekend after this post. I hope I will have time to take pics of my work and show you guys what I did.

Bon Bons: Woa flashback!

Photobucket

Hello makeup lovers, I'm sorry that this post is not about a new product or a new makeup look. It’s actually about something I use to love.

When I was out shopping with my BFF the other night in another town we stop by a Wal-Mart near by before heading back home. I always need something from Wal-Mart. Of course I find myself with the makeup again. And I saw a certain brand that I have not seen in years. I really thought they went out of business because the Wal-Mart in my town does not carry them anymore well if they do, they must hide really well. It’s funny when I saw the little tiny Bons Bons nail polish and lips glosses I was so happy and relive at the same time. They were one of my favorites when I was in middle school. The big thing with me and my friends was the Bons Bons nail polish and the Lips Smacker lips glosses. Its funny how certain things bring back memories and make you think of the people you love and care about. Bons Bons reminds me of teen magazine, roller blading, boy bands, playing outside till dark, when MTV had nothing but TRL and Music videos, and the only thing I had to worry about was if my hair frizz out on my again. Yep that little tiny makeup brand filled my head with all the things I have forgotten about. I almost brought one just to show my mom and say "look, remember you use to buy me these things all the time". But I didn't I don't why they are only a dollar. Maybe deep down inside I knew I would have loss it, like I did with all the others. Or maybe just because I move on to bigger and better products. Maybe not. Who knows? But they will always make me smile every time I see one.

What is that one thing that gives you a flashback of when you were a child or teen? Comment below or email me at xsassyletsmakeupx@yahoo.com

Just as good as the Chubby Sticks

Photobucket

Just the other day I told myself to stop buying makeup for a while. Then of course the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain by Revlon that looks exactly like the Chubby Sticks by Clinique comes out. But I kept saying no no no. stop it. After having the makeup fight with myself I forgot all about them until I went food shopping at Wal-Mart. Just walking by the makeup aisle minding my own business until this pretty pink lip balm stain caught my eyes and screams "buy me, I will make you look pretty". Yea true story. Her friends wanted to come home with me too. I promise them I will come back someday. O it’s so sad how I can’t take every makeup product home with me.

okay so on with the review of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 015 Cherish

Photobucket

First off the color does stay on forever! After having my tea this morning at work I went to reapply my lip color and it was still on there. Not like "oh there’s still a little color left on there." No it was like hi I'm still pink.
My lips were soft for hours but in the corners of my mouth it does get a little dry but that’s because I work in a very dry place.
The color is very pigmented. And this color that I have is like the perfect pink. I love it. If you are a pink lip color girl then you must get this one.
I believe these are just as good as the Chubby sticks except that they are $16 and Revlon only like $7 or $8.

So witch colors have you bought and loved?

Faking the falsies:pros and cons

Faking the falsihes: Pros and cons of the maybelline Falsies Volum Express in Black Drama

Photobucket

I have been using this mascara for a while now. I love it one minute and then I hate it the next. I have a love and hate relationship with my mascara. If you own this mascara then you know what I am talking about. If you don’t I think you better read on and see why I feel like this.

Pros:
You get both big long and bold eyelashes all in one
It last all day until you take it off
Its easer to apply on then the false eyelashes

Cons:
IT IS NOT WATERPROOF; DO NOT GO NEAR WATER AT ALL. You will look like a raccoon for sure.
It gets in my eyes every time I wash it off.
If I put too much on it can get very crumply.
It awesome that it makes my lashes so long but I sometimes get the mascara on my brow bone.

I will not buy this again because there is no easy way to clean it off at the end of the day and it also hurts my eyes every time. I really wish it didn’t hurt my eyes because I do love how they look.
How do you feel about this Mascara? Will you buy it again?

Its Magnetic

Photobucket

Last year the big nail trend was Crackle nails polish. All summer long I would wear the Crackle nails polish but would get different colors every week. I was so in love with them. I would put a blue crackle nail polish over a white or orange over red. I saw crackle nail polish every where in stores and on other people nails. I thought that nothing can ever top off Crackle nail polish until one day a good friend of mine facebook me about the Sally Hansen Magnetic nail polish and told me how awesome they are. So when I got the chance I went to target and got a purple color. I really want the pink one but it was sold out both at target and Wal-Mart. How sad. But I am happy with this color. This is really easy to use.

What you do is put on a base coat.
Shake the nail polish and apply one coat of the nail polish.
Let it dry
Apply a really thick coat one nail at a time.
Make sure you put the magnet over the nail right away for ten seconds
Ather those ten seconds you will get a fun and awesome waves on you nails.
Make sure you put on a top coat to add a shine!
You will love this. It’s about $8 at any drug store. Sephora is trying to sell these for like $16. Really.

Got to Love Tattoos

Photobucket

I know this has been talk about a lot all ready. How awesome they are. They really do stay on all day with creasing. But you know I have to find out for my self. So I got The Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr By Eyestudio in Fierce & Tangy. Witch is a really orange color with a hint of shimmer to it. This color is really fierce. It is such a bold color. You can use it as a base for eyeshadows, as an eyeliner, or just use the color by its self. I so want to go out and by all the colors because it works better then any other primer I have used. It stays on all day and does not crease or fade. I almost brought the blue and the brown but sense I been crazy about orange I had to get this color. If you do not have any of these eye tattoos you must get at least one. And get the color you use the most because like I side it is a really good eye base.

Photobucket

Photobucket

You get a whole alot of color just for like 7 or 8 bucks. You can't go wrong with that.
What is you fav Tattoo color? If you have any.
I know it’s not easy to comment on this blog so you can email me your answer or if you have any comments, complaints, suggestion, and any questions please email me at xsassyletsmakeupx@yahoo.com

YAY! for glam bags

Photobucket
YAY!!!!!

I just got my first myglam bag in the mail! For those of you who don’t know what a myglam bag it’s a subscription to get a cute little bag with 4 or 5 full-size products or deluxe size simples once a month.I love this because I get to try new products every month for just $10.00.
To get a myglam bag. You go to myglam.com. Take a quiz and sign up. Its $10 and you can cancel anytime.
You really do get nice products, if you look at their past bags you can see there was urban decay, NYX, Tarte and so on in them.
Every month there is a theme like girls night out, repair and restore, and so on.
This mouth was Love is in the air. And here is what I found in this cute lip bag that I just love:

A simple of Philosophy Love Sweet Love fragrance
Photobucket

This has such a sweet flower smell to it. I just love it. It’s kind of like sweet pea from bath &body works but with a whole lot more of sweet! If you really like those sweet smells then you will fell in love with love sweet love. You can get this at philosophy.com for $45.

Studio Gear Complete Color Lipstick in teaberry
Photobucket Photobucket

This lipstick is a two in one. It has a vitamin B derivative that moisturizes and plumps your lips with a burst of color. I like the lipstick it self because it does keep your lips soft and the color stays on for a few hours but, it’s a little to dark for me. I'm into the bight colors. You can get this lipstick $ 15.00 at http://www.studiogearcosmetics.com. There are so many colors to pick from! If you have the money for them.

Miss Beauty Nail Bling

Photobucket

I don't know where you can get this brand of nail stickers but you can get the Sally Hanson ones anywhere for $8.00. Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, and so on. They are just as good. These are pretty cool and if you have a job where you don’t work with your hands they will stay on about a week. If you do work with your hands I would say a few days. Had my on for three days and there are starting to peel away. So sad because they are just so pretty and glam!
Myglam Concealer Brush & Defining Eyeliner Brush

Photobucket

The eyeliner brush is really awesome i apply my eyeliner so much better and easter then i could before. I don't why but it does. The concealer brush is just too small to cover anything on my face.

I love this because I get to try new products every month just for $10.00. Its like having a Christmas or a birthday once a month coming to your mailbox!
