Current Favorites

I have been very into drugstore products lately and I feel like whatever I buy, I love! So I wanted to share a few of my favorites along with an old favorite which I have recently rediscovered while shopping my stash!

Son zamanlarda drugstore urunlerine takmis durumdayim, ne alirsam alayim cok seviyorum. O yuzden bugun ki postumu su siralardaki favorilerim uzerine. Arada birkac tanede gecen gun makyaj koleksiyonumda cikmis oldugum mini gezintiden yeniden kesfettigim urunde var.

Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream Medium/Deep

Let me start out by saying that I am 99% positive that anybody with acne-prone or oily skin will be disappointed by this BB cream. I have normal skin and I have to say I absolutely love this product! It's not quite as runny as a tinted moisturizer and not as thick as a foundation. It's somewhere right in between and comes with SPF 20! It makes my skin look amazing without even needing to use powder to set. It's been my go-to face makeup as of late and I couldn't be happier. Full review coming soon!

Oncelikle sunu belirteyim, akneye egilimli ya da yagli bir cilde sahipseniz bu urun sizi hayal kirikligina ugratabilir. Benim cildim normal oldugu icin bu BB krem bana gore enfes bir urun. Yapisi ne renkli nemlendirici kadar sivi ne de normal fondoten kadar yogun, ikisinin tam ortasinda diyebilirim. Ayrica icinde SPF 20 olmasida benim icin bir arti. Cildimde mucize yaratan ve kullanimi cok kolay olan bu urunu pudra ile sabitlememe gerek bile yok. Full review yakinda!

L'oreal Magic Lumi

I have never used a product like Lumi but I am glad I am doing so now. It's a highlighter/primer that is supposed to give the face a glow. I wear it all over my face, layered under the BB cream and I look like I naturally have youthful (ok well maybe it's because I'm not that old to begin with!), healthy and glowy skin. I will also have a complete review on this soon!

Hayatimda hic Magic Lumi gibi bir urun kullanmadim ama kesfettigim icin cok mutluyum. Aydinlatici/baz olan Magic Lumi'nin gorevi yuze parlaklik vermek. Ben son zamanlarda yukarida bahsettigim BB kremle beraber kullaniyorum. Sonuc, dogal, dinc ve pariltili bir cilt! En kisa zamanda Magic Lumi hakkinda da yazacagim.

MAC Highlight Powder in Crew

I have been reaching for Crew quite a bit because I love the light peachy pink glow it provides. I have nothing quite like it in my collection. It's easily one of my favorite highlighters this summer!

Hafif piriltili seftali, pembe karisimi Crew son gunlerdeki favori aydinlaticilarimdan biri. Sanirim ona benzer baska bir aydinlaticim olmadigi icin bende yeri ayri.

L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Pink Sapphire

Pink Sapphire is my second eyeshadow from L'oreal's Infallible line, needless to say first one was Brozed Taupe. On my currently NC30-35 complexion it looks like a light coppery-pink color. I can see myself using this versatile shade all year around. It looks amazing with Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in Midnight Brown blended into crease.

L'oreal Infallible'dan ikinci farim olan Pink Sapphire (ilki tabiki de Bronzed Taupe idi) bana once daha cok pembe altin gibi geldi. Kutuya bakinca aslinda daha cok pembe duran bu far benim su an ki NC30-35 cildimde acik bakirla pembe altin karisimi gibi duruyor. Butun sene boyunca kullanilabilecek bir renk oldugunu dusunuyorum. Son zamanlarda goz cukurunda Burberry'nin Midnight Brown'la kullanmak favorim.

NYX Blush in Cinnamon

Cinnamon is one of my first NYX blushes I have recently got to experiment with. It's such a unique coral/orange shade and I am proud to say I have no dupes of it in my collection! I am not surprised to see a great color pay off in Cinnamon as NYX products in general are great at that.

Cinnamon NYX'ten denedigim ilk iki alliktan biri. Kendine ozgu bir rengi olan Cinnamon mercanla turuncu karisimi. Koleksiyonumda ona benzeyen baska bir allik bulamadim. NYX urunleri genel olarak pigment bakimindan cok basarili oldugu icin Cinnamon'in basarisina hic sasirmadim ;)

Too Faced Romantic Eye

How did I ever forget about this amazing palette? I have purchased it last year the day it shelves at Ulta. Shamefully, I have not showed it much love since then. It has the perfect summer eyeshadow colors along with a few darker shades. All the shades are quite pigmented, but that's nothing to be surprised about we're talking about Too Faced here! :) My favorites are Soulmates, Cut the Cake and Ever After. 

Bu guzelim paleti bunca zaman nasil unutmus olabilirim hayret ettim! Gecen sene Ulta'da ilk ciktigi gun aldigim Romantic Eye'a malesef bu zamana kadar pek ilgi gosterdigim soylenemez. Yaz icin sahane renkleri olan bu palette ayni zamanda birkac koyu renkte bulunuyor. Too Faced'in her zamanki kalitesi Romantic Eye'da da mevcut. Benim en sevdigim renkler Soulmates, Cut the Cake ve Ever After.

Favorite Drugstore Lip Products

Hey girls!!!

I personally haven't been "collecting" drugstore products for a long time. However, lately I am getting more and more cosmetics from the drugstore. So far, whatever I have purchased (at least in terms of lip products) turned out to be great, both color and quality wise! As we all know, most of the time it's impossible to swatch lip products let alone see the color, unless of course it's a lip-gloss since they're in clear containers. So sometimes it is difficult to find what you like! I have just been lucky with everything I got and love each and every one of them! So here they are!

Revlon Super Lustrous Ligloss - Coral Reef 

Gorgeous coral color, very pigmented, goes on smooth, non-sticky (Does look darker than it actually is in the pictures, if you have a chance definitely check it out in stores!)

NYX Megashine Lipgloss - La La  

Subtle peachy bubblegum pink, non-sticky, smooth, bit shimmery, smells like cherry cough syrup (lol), looks great on top of a nude colored lipstick.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - 220 Pink Chic

Cool blue pink, glides on smooth, subtle sheen, fine silver shimmer to it, moisturizing formula, rose-y scent

 

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick - 025 Pink Please

Mid-tone milky/baby pink, creamy, smooth, pigmented

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - 006 Pink Blush 

Bubblegum pink, smooth formula, glides on, shimmery, non-drying, 

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick -  070 Soft Nude 

Perfect nude color, creamy and smooth formula, will not wash you out AT ALL

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick - 025 Carnation

Fuschia/pink, Smooth, has a sheen to it, sheer but can be built up to a vibrant color

What are YOUR favorite lip products from the drugstore?? Do share! <3

My NYX order is FINALLY here!

Hey girlies!

As some of you may remember, I ordered bunch of things from NYX back when they had that $1 sale and yes they did say it may take a month for orders to be received but this felt like an eternal wait! I placed my order on January 24 and just got the package few days ago. Oh well I only paid a buck for most of these (minus the jumbo pencil) so I can't cry or complain about it too much, so let's take a look at the products I got, shall we?

 

I got 4 of these loose chrome eye shadows in these lovely colors. They are quite pigmented and very soft to touch, unlike some of the MAC pigments I have. They go on super smooth, so far I love them but right now I have no idea how they will wear on my lids so I can't really rate them in terms of performance :)  Lagoon is pretty much the same as Shimmermoss e/s by MAC, so if you have that, skip this and save your money! This is my first time ever buying these chrome eye shadows, hopefully they won't let me down because I love the colors!

I got two lipsticks, for some reason I was thinking they are the "round lipsticks" but on them it says NYX Lips. Regardless, I love them! Colors are just gorgeous. I don't have any lipsticks of these colors, so that's perfect. Variety is good! I also got a lip liner (Hampton) which wasn't photographed but you can see it in the swatches above (my baaaadddd!) 

Lastly, I got some falsies and Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk which I have been wanting forever! I can't believe I had these pencils in almost all the colors but this! I don't wear false eyelashes as much as I like to, these were $1/pair and I thought why not. I'm not too crazy about the one on the left, but the one right?? I likeeeeee, can't wait to rock these, SOON!

I think I am shopped out, seriously, I don't think I'll be buying any more make-up until Back to the Beach collection comes out in May. Now that I have all these products, I need to start doing more FOTDs!

Did you guys get anything from this sale??

NYX $1 Galore!!!!

Was I the last one to find out about the $1 sale on NYX's website?? Apparently yes. They've been having this $1 sale event since January 15 (lasts through January 25, not sure about time) and I just found out about it last night, bummer! I coincidentally went to nyxcosmetics.com because I have been looking for the jumbo pencil in Milk for a long time now (all my local Ultas are sold out!) and I see this huge sale! If any of you plan to order anything from this event, keep in mind their shipping is pretty ridiculous. While almost everything I ordered was only a $1, I had to pay about $10 for shipping and I think my total came to $22, which is not bad considering I bought 9 items + jumbo pencil which was regular price ($3.50 I think?) I'm a sucker for NYX round lipsticks and mega shine lipglosses, hopefully the colors I picked out will work with me, can't wait to receive my order so I can do new looks using my new stuff :)

My Blog Is Born + Ulta haul

Hey everyone,

Welcome to my blog! This is my first post ever! I started this blog in the name of beauty and to share my passion for make-up and everything beauty related like most of us. On my blog, I'm planning to do everything from make-up to nails, product reviews and everything in between! Thanks for checking out my blog and I hope you enjoy your visit! :)

With that said, here goes my first little haul!

I've recently been to Ulta to check out what's new (Ok I'll be honest, I just received their mailer with a coupon) and of course I couldn't leave without picking up at least one thing, so...what did I get??

Baked Eyeshadow by Urban Decay

I must say...WOW! I've been llooking for this color forever! I'm so happy to finally have found it! It's a gorgeous and very rich bronze color. Quite pigmented! I recommend to this everything. It's $16 but I think it's totally worth it!

 Show Pony Shadow Box by Urban Decay

Contains 6 beautiful shades, the famous 24/7 eyeliner in Zero and a trial of the best eye shadow primer out there ever: Urban Decay Primer Potion. All this for $30! As always, these UD eyeshadows are all very pigmented, go on super smooth and give off lots of sparkle and shimmer. Your eyes never had it better ladies!

MAC Coppering and Shadowy Lady

I'm always on the lookout for new colors when it comes to eyeshadows. I have recently discovered and purchased these two beautiful ones from MAC. They are; Coppering and Shadowy Lady. I think they got beautifully together and compliment each other both color and texture wise, as one Coppering is Veluxe Pearl and Shadowy Lady is Matte. They kind of remind me of Autumn and Thanksgiving though I think they could be used in any season  and with a bunch of other shades or even by themselves. I like to mix it up though, I just never seem to wear any color by itself.
