Fall is around the corner!

Hi Dolls!

I don't know about you but I first of all cannot wait until fall. I personally love the weather, especially for styling hair, I hate stupid humidity and frizzies, and also cannot wait for the darker deeper makeup colors for fall. Sitting by the fire, snuggling up with whomever...it's just the perfect time of the year for myself. I'll be doing a quick review on our MAC ME OVER Launch for MAC. It truly has very nice colors that could work for every palette imaginable.

Summer Time's Here: Self Tanning 101:

Hi dolls,

So I guess I can start off by saying I'm a pretty avid tanner...Hmm, okay I take that back. I'm obsessed with being tan. Not in a creepy, jersey shore, tanorexic way though! Anyways, every summer I try to get as tan as possible...I know, I know tanning is extremely bad for your skin reason being I'm taking some precautions this year...cause I don't want to turn into this...

An Old Leather Purse or...

MMM! Beef jerky anyone?! Lol...all jokes aside though...I know that the sun is extremely damaging, but we all love that nice tan right?

I've been applying SPF 30 anything really whenever I'm outside, then when I really want to bump up the color I use dry oil probably with an SPF of 4...yeah, yeah...Hey it's better than me using baby oil and olive oil right...yeah I'm guilty!

I've been experimenting with self tanners recently...and I've found my favorite out there...It's St. Tropez Tanning Body Lotion.

Exfoliating is such a key with self tanners, you really want to sluff off all that dead skin so you're tan can be nice and even and smooth! I like to use two and mix them together. I absolutely love this Burt Bee's Cherry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub it smells so good! Then I like to mix some classic St. Ives Apricot Scrub, both of these together give you smooth skin.

This product is awesome! The reason why I'm so into it is simple, NO ORANGE...No Snookie, no jersey shore...no oompa loompa, yeah you get the point. It's easy to see when you apply, the smell doesn't come on really until later but that's normal...It's very fast for results too!

So this is what I apply the self tanner with, crazy looking right...It kind of looks like what you'd wax you're car with? Haha, but this thing has some sense into it's creation! You just basically pump the product onto the mitten and apply it like you would with your hands. It helps with a streak free application. What's also great is that the mitten is washable...

So if you make any bloopers or you get orange hands, feet, elbows, etc...I've been there they have a tan remover! It's awesome it's basically a cleanser with little exfoliant beads in it to cleanse away the dead skin along with the product!

Alright dolls, so tan away...please let me know what you're favorite self tanners, exfoliators, skin products are I'm curious!

XOXO.

Glitter & Feather Hair Extensions!

Hi dolls!

I don't know about you guys, but lately I have been seeing so many accessories for the hair! Lots of feathers, and glitter...I am absolutely loving it. I've seen lots of people with it done, and then some more with glitter and/or rhinestones. I always wondered well what if you brush

them out, can you wash them, do they straighten or curl, etc...

Well I was talking to someone personally who came to the counter the other day and she gave me the 411 on them. So there basically clipped in for a reasonable amount of money, I'm talking cheap! Like dirt cheap, lol! Anyways, you can wash them, style them, and I thought that was so awesome, I would love to have glitter in mine and curl them! Now just like any extensions you have to be completely gentle with them...especially the feather ones. The woman told me that when brushing and washing she is very gentle and holds the root of the extension while brushing...and you probably wouldn't want to style it so much cause it could possibly end up being damaged. Here's some pictures to check it out..

I love the glitter ones!!

Been MIA For A While:

Hey dolls,

I'm sorry to all that have been following me, or not, or whatever...but I have been so, so, so busy with working all my jobs that I have now. If it's not freelancing or working at MAC, and also working at a restaurant, making extra money when I can because you do all now that I do love my makeup obsession! :) Anyways, I will be posting much more on products recently bought and/or tested! I am currently now waiting on my MUFE Full Coverage concealer, I mean I've recently heard all of the hype about it and one of my two friends I work with are totally loving it...so I'm waiting on that, and also I bought some St. Tropez tanning products so I will also let you guys know how that works out, because I love being tan who doesn't...anyways...talk to you soon!

XOXO..

-Caitlyn

I'm sorry, I've had a really crappy month, been busy with work and personal problems I've had.... But let me stop boring you! I'm back guys, I'll be doing a post on the Quite Cute Launch coming out on April 7th, tommorow. XO!

M.I.A.? & 10 Favorite Products As of Now!

Yeah I know, before any of ya'll read this, I've been gone for a long time...missed out on a bunch I bet! Let me say sorry to some of my readers, I know that's wack but still, I love you guys!

Anyways, so let's see what's been going on lately in the makeup world...first off! My hairs not red anymore so that's changed lots of looks as far as with makeup.

I think I'll start of with my 10 favorite things right now...

1. Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser (it's almost just like MAC's Lightful Cleanser but I do know that Clarins has more natural ingredients so that's great for skin).

2. Fix + Lavender (This is almost like the regular Fix + that MAC has, but it is infused with lavender and that helps out with broken capillaries, so redness while giving you all the benefits of Fix +.

3. Laura Mercier Secret Camoflaugue in SC-1, I LOVE this concealer! This is the best out there right now well that I've found. I'm using it in a way brighter shade than I should be, but it gives me great coverage and a very nice brightening effect.

4. Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium, this sets my Prolongwear Foundation, perfectly I used it with a sponge.

5. Dior Black Out Mascara, still obsessed with this! Gives me volume, length, and dramatic beautiful lashes!

6. Studio Fix Bold Lash, it's just like the Dior Black Out, but way cheaper and it's actually really nice and also separates...

7. Studio Fix Foundation is awesome especially for how oily my skin gets in the summer time, powder or fluid.

8. Kiehl's Creme de Corps, helps out with my super dry skin especially from baking outside in the sun.

9. Sun tints Spf/20 MAC great texture, and also helps with dry chapped lips.

10. Kiehl's Superably Restorative Argan Dry Oil, great for hair and skin, makes you look like you have a perfect skin glow...
