--First day of class--
It was a very long day but also exciting day for me. I never thought I would get tired of doing makeup on a person until that day. We practice, practice, practice on each others faces and I got to the point where I was pooped. That day I also realized that I needed to get more supplies for school which is totally burning a hole in my wallet. That night my sister took me out to eat at Cafe Bizou because of my first day of class they had delious Chicken Balsamic but their crab cakes were pretty bad let me tell ya.

Please leave a comment for any reviews or swatches on any of the products from this haul or any of my previous hauls =)

MAC Haul + Where to get Really Cheap RedCherry Lashes

Today was Orientation at the makeup school and I got to see all 9 of my classmates lol. Yes the classrooms are built small so there is more one on one time. We pretty much went over school policies and how this is going to be a life changing career.
So.. Of course going to a makeup school you have to have makeup so this is what I got so far at MAC and I was lucky enough to know someone that had a Pro card and got me 30% off. With out the card this would have at the most cost me about 500 dollars but all in total about 330 with discount. I definitely am not done shopping either tomorrow will be a fun day shopping at various makeup stores around town.

RED CHERRY LASHES

Iheartredcherry.com
The Cheapest Red Cherry Lashes website I have found so far.

I thought moving out here to CA I could find really cheap and great quality lashes, but I was wrong. I've been everywhere from Korean Supermarkets to Vietnamese markets even down to Fashion District area, and they all sell lashes for $2-$4. I'm not going to spend 4 dollars on lashes when I absolutely know there are cheaper ones out there. I am addicted to lashes and I am always on the lookout for good quality products with a good price tag. If your an addict like me then check out there website I think the prices they offer are an amazing.

Professional Makeup Case

So this week I went to my school and took a little tour. It was really small but interesting you can say. I paid 20 dollars to park in Hollywood just to take a tour at my school freaking ridiculous right? So as I'm walking to my school im actually walking over the Hollywood stars and I was like whoa haha. There was a lot of tourists everywhere. (You know there tourists when they dont watch where they're going they look up when they walk.) So I got a list of things I needed for school and one of the items was an Aluminum Makeup case so I got on YAZMO.COM and got me this case

http://www.yazmo.com/largeblackaluminumpromakeupcasets-22.aspx

I fell in love with this case. It's quite big and spacious and I love the sleek black look.

Here it is opened without the trays folded out. As you can see I put my red cherry falsies in already. RED CHERRY EYELASHES AMAZING UPDATE COMING SOON!!

It folds out into 6 trays


This is how big it looks next to me. I'm a small girl so I'm scared once I have all my makeup supplies in it how the hell I'm going to pick it up. It already weighs about 10 lbs by itself.


Nyx Jumbo Pencils in Milk and Slate
Lashes I bought at a korean store
This is some stuff I got down in Fashion District in downtown L.A. There was this store there that sold makeup that the packaging was VERY similar to MAC. They also sold brushes that were about 6 dollars. I was thinking long and hard should I buy it but then I looked closely to the craftsmanship in the brushes and I wasn't very happy so I'll just save up for MAC brushes. I think it will be an invesment for me since I'm going to be a makeup artist.

--Update On My Life--
Lately I've been hanging out with my sister. I have two so im always hanging out with one or the other so I never have time to blog or do Youtube videos anymore. I'm like there little pet that they want to take everywhere lol. My sister Linda and I have been going to all kinds of places like, Chinatown, Koreatown, and Fashion District. Hopefully my sisters will soon feel like they dont have to take me everywhere so I can start doing Youtube videos again =)

Mainstage Theatrical Supply

Hey Guys! I went to my local theatrical supply store and this would be my first time ever going there. I never realized I had one until I did some research on the internet. They only have Ben Nye Products which was exactly what I was looking for. If you are interested you can also purchase products on their website. Mainstage Theatrical Supply or at the Internatinal Fun-shop. First I went to to this costume store that had some theatrical makeup but never the products I was looking for and the lady told me she could order it and it would be in by the next day and now I know where she gets it from, Mainstage, because no way could she order from anywhere else and it would come that fast. That costume store was way over priced anyways.

Cost: $7:00 for 2 fl. oz they have it in smaller or bigger sizes also

First product is Ben Nye's Final Seal Matte Makeup sealer. After your makeup application you spritz this on your face and it should seal your makeup on for the whole day. Of course this was made for the hot lights of stage performance so I thought why not try it for everyday makeup. I hate when my makeup starts to glide off my face due to my oily skin. I'm not sure if this works yet but I sure will update you guys later about it. I sprayed it on my face right when I got home and the nozzle is very powerful. I would love it if it was in a fix plus bottle. An active ingredient is alcohol so I'm a little worried about that.

Cost: $5.00 for 49 grams

I have heard so many great reviews on this product. I'm definitey trying to find a great translucent setting powder. This comes in a bottle but it has shaker holes on top. I put tape over it so it wouldn't come out a mess and then I poked one of the holes. I've lightly powdered my face with it and I'm quite pleased. I'll do a full on makeup look and put this on and see if it alters my makeup. I've tried Bareminerals Mineral Veil and never again will I use that. It's active ingredient was cornstarch and all it did was make my face look ghostly. On top of that Bareminerals foundation already has spf of 25 so in pictures your head looks like it is floating on top of a really tan body. SPF and pictures with flash is not a good combo.



They also carried all of the Lumiere Luxe Powders (or pigments) and all of the pressed shadows. I got so excited!!! but of course I was on a budget =( and I always stuck to it. So I got one in Amethyst. This jar holds 8 grams of product for 10 or 9 dollars. It said 10 but she sold it for 9. Now think about this

MAC pigments-- 7.5 grams for 18.00
Face Front Cosmetics Paint me Perfect shadows-- 5 grams for $10.oo
Ben Nye Lumiere Luxe Powders-- 8 grams for 9 dollars

This is to show you how big it is next to a 5 gram jar.

First pic shows the shadow under different bases. Second pic has no flash

My next trip to Mainstage would be for a Conceal All Wheel and more Lumiere Luxe Powders.
If your on a budget theatrical makeup is an awesome alternative to the other high end brands of makeup. Theatrical makeup is made for intense heat so you know your getting some good quality stuff. Some awesome brands are Ben Nye, Mehron and Kryolan.

MUA mini Swap Haul

Hey guys! So I have a very mini swap haul. If your not familiar with swapping let me tell you a little about it. Its a website called MakeupAlley.com. This website has user reviews of everything that is beauty related. Hair products, Makeup, Skin Care and Hot Tools. I always look at this site before I buy anything that I am unfamiliar with. Another great thing about this website is that you can swap makeup with people. Yeah at first I was like thats disgusting your swapping germs practically. So I only swap for things I know I can sterilize thoroughly like pressed powder products and lip sticks. Pressed powder you can spray with alcohol and swipe off the first layer. Lipstick shave off the top layer and dip in alcohol. I advise you not to swap mascaras or liquid liners. I think swapping is great when you have a product you never use or you tried it and you hate it. So why not swap with someone that wants it and you want something of theirs?

The products you se below are what I got for swapping my Benefit She Laq which I hated! It did nothing for me.

If your looking for any Ben Nye products check out the fun-shop

I actually checked on this website to see the color of Cinderella Blue and the swatch they give you on the website I thought would have been much lighter like a sky blue but apparently its much more muted.
MAC Peaches is a matte version of MAC Hello Kittys Fun and Games
As you can see it's pretty knicked up and I didn't know that because the person never mentioned it to me so if you do swap always ask for pictures.

It took me a couple applications for it to show. I think I may need a base to go under this so it doesn't fly off my face so quickly.

It's pretty vibrant but I may also need a base under this. It came off pretty easily.

Outlet haul

I swung by the outlet today with my mother while running some errands today. Let me share with you what I got.

First off we stopped by a beauty supply shop in town that we have never visited before and I found me some cheap falsies. Wigs filled up every inch of that shop, wow it was amazing and they sold nyx so I'll definitely be going back there sometime.

These shoes I got at a boutique store down at the outlet and I am in desperate need of flip flops and sandals. I wear the same flipflops everyday. I'm starting to feel the cement where the heel hits.

Pink Iris Fluidline

Light as air Powerpoint pencil

Cool Heat e/s

I live in the middle betwen two different CCOs and the one I went to today was not the usual one I always go to. I was very surprised that they have alot of items that the other CCO doesn't have. What got me angry was they had Mutiny Pigment which was the only item I got from the A Rose Romance collection. Like really?! geeze I could have saved me some money.

This Weeks Mini Haul

I don't think I'll ever be able to have a true haul. I envy those who are able to spend money on many products on one trip to the store. Of course their are those who save money for a day where they go all out and splurge but that will never be me. I have to buy something every week so I never have money saved up for a huge haul. I guess you can call it an ADDICTION!





Robert Simmons E67 Filbert Brush
Price: 11.99 / 40% coupon about 7
Rating: 5 stars
First I'm going to start off with my new Michaels brush. Today I actually went to Michaels and just looked at all their brushes to see if I could use any of them. I found the most perfect brush for concealer application. The Robert Simmons E67 Filbert! This is such a great brush. It's pretty stiff and a perfect size for me. At the moment I'm using Sonia Kashuks flat foundation brush for concealer application and it's just a little to big and it leaves streak marks so I have to blend it out with my finger. I do own a Lowell cornell filbert brush but its a little smaller and it is stained by my HIP creamliner. I initially bought it for concealer but it was way to small (picture on side, black one) I've realized that all my paint brushes from Michaels stain easily from my makeup. It's a pain to clean. The colors on my brushes will seriously not come out even if I clean it with EVOO. The EVOO will also stain it! These brushes I'm referring to are my Maxine Mops and Lowell Cornells. But it's ok I get them pretty cheap. I suggest everyone to check Printable-Coupons.blogspot.com before going to to any store. I have saved so much money from coupon clippings from this website. It updates you on recent coupons from restaurants, beauty stores, retail, and groceries. I won't go to Michaels without a coupon. I just think its ridiculous to spend full price on something when they will always have coupons every week no matter if its 25% or 40%.

Beautique Lip Liners
Price: 1.99 / with Beauty card 1.29/ This months special buy 2 get one free
Rating: 3 out 5
I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and I saw these lip liners and I was alittle iffy in buying them. I've had experience with cheap liners where they feel like a coloring pencil, nice and hard. These were amazingly soft. They glided on my lips like butta! The staying quality is why I gave it a 3. It will rub off quite quickly but then again im constantly eating so I'm always reapplying lipstick throughout the day. After I applied those lipliners to my hand I rubbed it off with one swipe =. They will do for now. Go to SallysBeauty.com to get the coupon for the month.


Rings
Price: 5 each / 2 for 8.00
Last but not least are my rings I got from Charlotte Russe. I'm starting to like big rings now and these are pretty BIG. Today in class a guy said, "Do you have problems with bees?" O wow that was a knee slapper! lol. The glass looking one you can actually adjust the ring to your size but the other ring you can't and it's alittle to big for me.

Mini CCO Haul and Paint Pot Swatches

Yay! I went to the CCO today and got me a few things. I was so excited when I walked in I haven't gone in forever!! So I had a budget when I walked in the door and it was 40 hmm.. what an unrealistic budget. I walked in and added like 5 items to my bag and then I realized holy crap im over budget because I also wanted to save money for other stores also. So I have to put a lip liner and an eyeshadow back =( oh well. I think the most suprising item I saw there was Studio Sculpt foundation and they only had it in 3 shades and amazingly they had it in mine. I was freaking out. What I also saw that I really wanted but I just couldn't squeeze it in my budget was the MAC 189 foundation brush ughhhhh I wanted it! I'll probably go back in like 3 weeks or so. It takes me 45 mins to get there so that's why I don't go as much.


Here are some swatches of the Fresh Green Mix and all of my Paint Pots I own =) Enjoy!
