What I'm Loving Right Now (Fall Edition)

I've really been rather suck-ish at keeping up with my favorites lists.  But somewhere between classes, clinicals at the hospital, work, kids and pretty much life in general...I've managed to still assemble a little collection of new (new to me, anyway) stuff that has quickly become my go-to stuff for the moment.

OHWTO's BLACK MAGIC SOAP
I was so excited to get my OHWTO order that I didn't take pictures of anything.  This soap totally lives up to all it's hype.  After just a few uses, I could definitely see a difference in my skin.  Even Jeff noticed!  He looked at me, fresh out of the shower, and he told me that my face looked brighter, cleaner, and fresher looking.  And I LOVE the way it smells.  If you purchase anything from OHWTO, it should be this!  www.ohwto.com

URBAN DECAY LIQUID LINER IN RADIUM
I love the color of this!  I've been using this a lot when I need to do a simple look.  Just throw some of this on...do some nice thick, winged liner and my basic face makeup...and I'm good to go.

 WET N' WILD LIPSTICK IN 522A
I still have a love/hate relationship with lip products.  I love how they look, I love how they pull together my look, I hate how they feel on my lips.  But Rite Aid was having a 60% off sale and I got a bunch of lipsticks for 49 cents!  This is my favorite of the bunch.  It makes me feel fierce!

 Taken on my way out to dinner with Jeff and the kids.  I look kind of smarmy or something but the pic shows the lipstick off pretty well :)

HARD CANDY GLOSSAHOLIC GLOSS IN FABULOUS
I suppose this gloss is pretty pointless...because I keep eating it!  I think it tastes delicious.  Aside from that, I like the extra large doe-foot applicator and the sparkly flakies. 

 Blurry gloss pic for the win!

 Very pretty!

COLORED CLIP IN HAIR PIECES
I don't have a problem putting colored streaks in my hair.  However, it isn't appropriate for school.  One of my Facebook friends suggested that I try some clip-ins.  I bought a purple set and a blue set.  I've been getting lots of compliments on them.  They've quickly become my new favorite accessory.

I like them a lot.  Eyes done with the Kat Von D Metal Orchestra palette.  I'm still on the fence about that product.

What are your favorites lately?

LOTD: Asteroid Ball

I was "window shopping" at Wal-Mart yesterday (can it technically be called window shopping if you ACTUALLY buy something?).  I was supposed to be grocery shopping but the makeup section always calls to me and I said I wasn't going to buy anything...but obviously I'm delusional :)

I was so happy with the pretty Hard Candy eyeshadow that I had bought last time (pretty purple sparkles always make my day!) that I decided to pick up another one...this time in blue!

This one is called Asteroid

 Soooo pretty!

This one seems to have more shimmer and less sparkle than it's purple counterpart, but it's really pretty and a great color to use alone with a little highlighter for a simple look.  This one also came with a mini of Hard Candy's eyeliner called Abyss, but I didn't use it for this look and in all truthfulness...I'll probably give it to Addy.

This is what I came up with:

 Hard Candy e/s in Asteroid (lid)

Sassy Minerals' Merlin's Ball (inner corners and blended into highlight)

Generic white from my 120 palette for blending and highlight

Full face shot with Fyrinnae Acidic Cherry on my lips (my all time favorite darkish red)

That's all I have for right now...I'm off to school.  We're dissecting a kidney tonight and I'm super excited :)  Have a great weekend!!!

I can't escape from Wal-Mart......

....without some sort of makeup in my cart!

I'm a sucker for sparkles and cute packaging (who isn't, really?).  On my last trip to Wal-Mart I managed to make it out with only two things! *gasp!*

I picked up Hard Candy's Glow all the way luminizer (which I've yet to really test drive) and this cute single eyeshadow from Hard Candy as well.

 This shade is called Lunar Eclipse

 (Oh. My. Jammies.  I love shiny stuff!)

The eyeshadow also came with a mini eyeliner pencil in a shade called Abyss, which to my eye looks like a black with some sparkle.  This is my first eyeshadow from Hard Candy.  It was a little dry to work with but I expected it to be much worse...I really thought that this was going to be a product that just looked cute sitting on my vanity and I was very surprised at how nice it actually was.  This is the look that I created with it:
