Where am I?/Who am I?

So I guess you know nothing about me..and yet the blog title is "I am who I chose to be." I will start by telling you that I currently go to a University in Oklahoma, but when the academic year is over, my place of residence is in North Texas. This is my 4th (senior) year of college, and yet I have to take another year. Why? I transferred to this University located in Oklahoma for my Junior year of college. But that is a LONG LONG LONG story that will be discussed later…and not when I am running on little to no sleep.

Rimmel match Perfection Blush #002 Light/medium

I mentioned that I would update you guys on whether or not the Rimmel match perfection blush in #002 light/medium would show up on my skin tone. 

Refer to this post http://allaboutbabytigerlily.blogspot.com/2014/02/target-deals-21014.html 

Unfortunately NOTHING showed up, literally nothing! There was absolutely no trace of color, not even a white or pastel cast on my arm. I am usually against returning beauty products to the store after I have opened the packaging, however there is just nothing I can do to this product. If it was a foundation I could easily darken it up with some bronzer. However, this is a blush and I shouldn't have to "darken" or "change"the color of a blush. Therefore I will be returning it to Target.

Maybelline New York The Elixirs COLORSENSATIONAL 040 Vision in Violet

040 Vision in Violet


AMAZING!!! Super duper pigmented. It is a pretty bold color so it might not be used for an everyday use. I love it. I always pair it with a brown neutral eye look, and usually neutral clothing (white top with jeans and boots).

This is also a great lippie to wear when you have an all black outfit! or just want to look done up but with minimal face/eye makeup.

This color definitely gets you noticed but in a good way :) so in love with purple lipstick! It's one of my top favorite lipstick colors of all time!

050 Caviar Couture


This is like a dark red/wine color. I usually just dab and then blend so it's a sheer wash of color. It's amazing and has burgundy glitter in it that you can't really tell from the packaging.

080 Captivating Carnation

What a pretty pink! It isn't an in your face pink so it is perfect for an everyday look :) and it works on darkly pigemented lips! You will need a mirror to apply this one.

100 Petal Plush

This is a harder color to pull off on my natural lip color ;/ I can shear out the color so it isn't as "dead" looking. It has pretty pink sparkles (not alot).

Not really satisfited with this color. It was streaky in it's application. I would say to pass on this color and look at some of the darker shades!

I think the easiest way to used this color is to simply just use it as a topcoat to a pink or nude lipstick when I want to go for a more glossy, juicy lip look. I can't really use this on its own because of the streaky application. It can also go on over a lip liner and this tends to be a pretty easy look to pull off.

This is another great nude, it isn't too deep of a brown. It is a brownish nude. This is fantastic formula for every color!

060 Nude Illusion
The perfect nude, I thought that it would be too light because my natural lip color is a little dark. However these lipgloss/lipsticks are super opaque!! They are comfortable and very moisturizing. This color you might be able to get away putting it on without a mirror, but some of the other colors you won't get that lucky.

imPress Nails

Halloween is my favorite holiday so you can image how bad I freaked when my best friend gave me these impress nails she found at Walgreens!!! I loved them and they stayed on a week prior to Halloween till just about 4 days after Halloween. #halloweenswag

I am currently wearing these right now. As you can tell from the packaging these are the new Ultra Gel Nails. So far I like them..I just don't know if they will have the same lasting power as the non gel nails. I will update you guys on how long these last on my nails.

Also check out my new midi-rings!! I got all 3 at JcPenny this weekend for a total of $1.97!

PUT A RING ON IT

Alright so looking at this post http://allaboutbabytigerlily.blogspot.com/2014/02/ulta-glitter-eye-top-coat.html you can tell that put a ring on it is a sparkly silver glitter top coat

I personally like to put it on top of silver, sliver-blue, or black eyeshadow that is placed on the lid. Sometimes fallout occurs and if that bothers you, just spritz some setting spray on your brush/applicator, then dip it in the glitter top coat and then place it on top of your lid.

If you go with a dramatic eye look, be sure to keep everything else simple. Such as lips, and blush.
The focal point should be your eyes.

ULTA Glitter Eye Top Coat

PUT A RING ON IT

Silver base with silver glitter.

FAIRY PRINCESS
Very pretty pink with green, blue, and silver glitter.

I bought these when Ulta had a buy 1 get 1 free on ulta products. They usually retail for $8. These are super glittery and perfect. Warning: there will be fallout but try spraying your brush with setting spray, then dip the brush into the glitter and then place on your eyelid. I personally use fairy princess a lot more because I do a lot of neutral browns and pinks for an everyday look.

It's a lot easier to deal with glitter that packed in a pan like this rather than loose glitter in a container. Loose glitter can get very messy VERY fast.
If you are going for a fast all over application, it may just be easier to use your fingertips rather than opting for a brush. I find it easier to control the saturation of glitter and the placement by using my ring finger or my pointer finger.

When working with glitter just take your time and have fun!!

These are also great to use during cheer competitions or for theater makeup.

Don't you guys just hate wasting time being sick!!!
