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.

MAC Semi Precious Collection July 7th!!

OMG...Hi Dolls!!!

I have to say that this is my hands down, favorite collection that we have ever come out with!!

I'm telling ya'll these are an absolute purchase, you won't see these anywhere...

Oh, did you think I was done? NOPE...Just three more things to cover! :)

We're re-promoting the Mineralize Charged Water, Mineralize Face+Body Lotion and Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation.

Mineralize Charged Water: Great for revitalizing energy, refreshes and hydrates and reblances the complexion and skin. It's infused with minerals that are essential in helping your skin stay healthy and young looking.

Mineralize Face+Body Lotion: Gentle, rich moisturizing lotion can be used on face and body...great for sensitive skin hence the no fragrance an color.

Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation: We have this foundation all throughout the year. It's a very popular natural finish medium coverage foundation that gives you a young look and a nice feel to the skin.

Phew! That was a lot to type, and I bet read! Haha! I seriously though cannot wait for these products to come out I am so excited, and I know you are too!!

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

Been MIA...

Wow, guys I'm telling you I do great for a couple months or so, then I start to get lazy and stressed out and forget about writing! 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...

!!! A NEW Viva Glam GAGA Launch!!

Hi dolls,


I totally forgot to inform you all that GAGA is coming out with a new launch on Febuary 17! So there unfortunately will no longer be the regular GAGA (the sheer pink one) on counters soon...so if you definitely see some at least grab two!

I am personally loving Lady Gaga with this look...it's very dreamy, even Victorian like. Let's get to the Lipglass and Lipstick!

I am such a fan of nude glosses and lipsticks it's not even funny. I am SO freaking happy! This color almost looks like Viva Glam II...but has a little more brown in it. The lipglass has more of light neutral pink beige (the formulation is creamy) while the lipstick is a light warm beige (the formulation is amplified creme).

Go out and get this on February 17th! You guys will seriously love it!

XO.

MAC Lightfully Bright!

Hi dolls,

I wanted to let you guys know some quick info on this great launch! Let's take a look at this super bright cool looking picture there promoting for their launch!

These new tinted lipglasses are so awesome! They definitely are sheer when you wear them, but the high shine that they give off is amazing! Colors in order from left to right are: Astro Cool (My Favorite!)-Light lavender with a pink shimmer, Atmospheric-Baby pink with pink and blue shimmer, Ethereal-Pale blue pink with shimmer, and Outer Space-Snowy White with a subtle pink shimmer...all of these tinted lipglasses are in the frost formula.

Know what the collection is also relaunching are the Lightful Skin Products. I've already been using the Lightful Foaming Creme Cleanser, Lightful Active Softening Lotion, Lightful Charged Essence, and the Lightful Deep Ultramoisture Creme...and I love them all...I'll tell you a little about each of those products!

Lightful Foaming Creme Cleanser-Soothing whipped creamy mousse, cleanses and re-balances skin. Rinses quickly, leaving skin feeling clean and comfortable. Never stripped or dehydrated. (Perfect for Sensitive Skin)

Lightful Active Softening Lotion- Super-hydrating watery lotion. Absorbs quickly into the skin. Immediately infuses depleted skin with moisture. Leaves skin refereed, soothes, soft with more of a even toned look.

Lightful Charged Essence-Concentrated, lightweight gel-like essence. Absorbs quickly into the skin. Helps skin look and feel smoother, softer, more resilient and brighter. (LOVE)

Lightful Deep Ultramoisture Creme-Lightweight gel-like cream that provides a moisture-locking barrier for long lasting protection. Instantly hydrates the skin for a smoother skin surface. Helps skin look more luminous over time.

You guys should totally check out this line, and get in at counter while you can...they always have this collection at an actual MAC Store, and online!

Cut Crease, Dramatic Cheetah Inspired Photo Shoot Look!

Hey Dolls,



How is everyone? I know I've still been under the weather and I seriously need to go to the doctor. I've been sick for almost 3 weeks now and have been so busy with work...and honestly lazy! Haha. I wanted to post on these two separate looks I did on someone I just met for her two photo shoots. Sorry if the quality is crap, these were taking on my phone!

I'm so in love with this look...it's an edgy futuristic look with a mean sky blue lip paired with a yellow blue/black cut crease! I am loving that she lets my creativity roll!

This other look was for a animal inspired rock/roll theme. I'm always a fan of animal print and especially putting it around one eye. I love how it goes with her style and her red hair.

Oh, and by the way for girls/boys/anybody of that nature that decide on doing their hair a burgundy/red pink color...try putting sketch and red brick in your eyebrows it is to DIE for!

I just recently went this color, I will be posting a picture soon!

XO.

EOS Lip Balm, etc!

Hey dolls,




So once again I am limited to writing in my blog when being sick again...love/hate relationship! Haha, so of course when I went to the drug store last week to pick up my medicine I saw the chap stick isle and I had to hit it up! Now I've seen lots of reviews/posts on these lip balms so I had to try them. There was a pack of three that I've been seeing people talk about, I found them in the store but somebody stole one of them and it was the last set they had...so aggravating! I bought Summer Fruit, and Honeysuckle Honeydew. Personally to me, the Honeysuckle Honeydew has no scent or flavor at all. It's more like just a regular unscented chap stick to me, I mean there is a light fragrance. I like the Summer Fruit one better. However, I love that I don't have to stick my fingers in it, roll it up or any of that hassle because I am lazy! Haha.

Some more information about these cute lip balms:

Long lasting moisture, shea butter & vitamin e, goes on clear, smooth sphere helps glide on lips easier, easy twist off top, gluten paraben petrolatum phthalate free...

MAC Stylishly Yours Launch!

Hi Dolls,

It's another exciting launch like Champale that came out on the same day, yeah I know all our our bank accounts are going to be negative, haha. This is extremely on the opposite end of the Champale collection. Stylishly Yours is full of neon bright sexy colors! This is such a playful launch and I'm loving every piece of this collection!

Stylishly Yours: Okay so there's a new color for fluidline! Woo! This color is really beautiful it's called Dark Diversion, doesn't that name on it's own sound so seductive? It's a beautiful red-brown plum color that would look great on hazel, brown, blue or green eyes! It gives you that dramatic effect while having to stop using black eyeliner all the time, and I love it because it's just so different from all the regular stuff we use day to day! Then it's the lipsticks...wow just seriously wow...The colors are Neon Orange, Something New (bright hot pink), Cockney (beautiful orange red), and Style Curve (beautiful fuchsia)...I AM IN LOVE! I love all of these lipsticks they are all so different them what we have all the time! Pigments are in this collection to and there neon! Wow, colors are Follow Your Fancy (Orange), Madly Personal (Hot Pink), New Fixation (Burgundy), and Violet. There's a new zoom lash color! Yes, we're going back to colored mascara, what! It's a plumish-red color just like the fluid line....so beautiful and different, I'm going to definitely have to wear this with a look soon! Okay and for the finale...DUH DUH DUHH!! My ultimate favorite out of all of this, CREAM COLOUR BASE!! I love these beautiful you could use them for your cheeks, your lips, anything! Just be careful around the eye area...some pigments don't work well with sensitive eye skin...Anyways! I love all of them, the colors are Virgin Isle (beautiful coral), Tickle Me Pink (light pink), Movie Star Red (true blue red) and Madly Magenta. I want 20 of each, seriously haha! Two beauty powders came with this collection as well and they are Play It Proper (light pink) and Too Chic (neutral beige). So let's see the pictures already!!

Hi dolls!

I'm back in the game, that's right...finally got a laptop and a brand new web cam! Woo! I don't know if you are as excited as I am...yay!

Anyways, let's talk about MAC Champale Collection. Let's start of by saying how amazing the colors are. Here's a more in depth look at it:

CHAMPALE: Champale is basically described as, "The ultimate luxury when only the finest will do for New Years"...it's broken down into sassy, bubbly-ness golden happiness in a bottle! Haha. Seriously though, I am in LOVE with this collection and the beautiful neutral golden colors it brings. It comes with lots of different shimmery paint pots ranging from a greyish tone all the way to a white iridescent tone. There's also a beautiful quad E/S palette that has brule and retrospeck in it as well as two new colors! HOW EXCITED ARE WE ABOUT FELINE EYE KHOL BEING BACK! YAY! I know I am! There's also a beautiful shimmery eye khol that's a pinkish/white tone that would look beautiful in the waterline...not as stark as fascinating is, haha. Seriously though, let's talk about a NEW moisturizer and a NEW Fix+! What? I know! The new moisturizer is called Comfort Cream...and by the sound of that doesn't that even sound amazing before telling you what it is? It's basically for calming down redness and irritation also helping out that sensitive skin we all get sometimes. Theres also lots and lots of beauty powders and highlighting powders in this collection that are all beautiful. The Fix+ new scent is in Lavender, like the original it wakes up your skin, conditions it as well as giving your thirsty skin that lovely hydration boost! AHH-AMAZING RIGHT! Another favorite of this collection is definitely the Lipgelees! These are so beautiful ranging from a white sparkly color to a bronzey looking one, so all you lipgloss fanatics out there, get these asap! You will fall in love with this beautiful color and glitter payoff and the nice texture that it brings to your lips. Now there is so much more with this collection, I had to state some of my favorites but you all need to check this collection out ASAP this is all going to sell beautifully, because the colors look great on everyone!Okay, this is all of the collection swatches I'll list them all below!

So I'm thinking that tommorow I will be heading up to Best Buy, if the weather permits! It snowed 13 inches today! I loved every minute of it...just besides the horrible driving coniditions, and missing out on work.

I will keep you guys posted!
