vampire!

VAMPIRE!!! No not the movie TWILIGHT. I've been up very late due to the massive amount of reading that I am stuck doing. Glad to know that I don't have classes on Monday so that gives me a nice little weekend. As of right now, I'm doing chemistry homework and watching PINEAPPLE EXPRESS I wasn't able to watch it in theatres because of school, so I waited for it to come out in REDBOX....Gotta love my $1 movies.

I Got this idea from yummiebitez and thought it was fun to do.. So here we go!


My Top 10 products I can't live without:



10. Urban Decay Primer Potion: How I love thee to death. This is the best primer for my eyes that I cannot live without. It keeps my eyes looking fresh all day. I have no creasing and my shadows still look fresh after a sweaty night clubbing! 9. MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil ENGRAVED: I love this liner because I have this habit of putting liner on my waterline. I have tried countless of different liners and this is my favorite liner I swear by. It stays on my waterline (it is waterproof). It lasts all day without any smudging. It goes on very smoothly and it gives a very BOLD color. 8. MAC 109 Brush: I have been using this brush for a loooong time. I love it and it contours my face very nicely. It's great for applying liquid foundation and loose powder. It's also great for setting your powders and for buffing. 7.Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss: I used to use the silk infusion by chi, but I tried this product a few years back and I have been using it ever since. It smells great and a little goes a long way. It has a very nice scent to it as well. It gives high gloss. It has no stickiness and it glides on smoothly. I love using it before I blowdry my hair because once my hair is dry, I can safely run my SEDU flatiron. FYI: Its always better to put the product in your hair before you blowdry. It's less prone to breakage. 6. Magic Cream: I got this stuff from the Philippines when I went home a few years back. This stuff is awesome (well to me, others have had a diferent experience)! It helps clear my skin blemishes and its very light in texture. It is made with 100% natural ingredients and its all herbal =) We all know that herbs and vitamins are good for our body, so why not put it on our face?! Byers Beware: There are certain sites that clain that they sell magic cream, but sometimes its fake. I recommend buying it from legit sites and I don't recommend ebay! 5. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler: Like all other ladies, I swear by this precious curler. The mini curler didn't tickle my fancy but the regular one, I LOVE! My eyelashes are straight as shitt and this thing does wonders for my eyes. I'm still trying to get used to the makeup scene so I'm slowly gettin better with my eyelashes. This curler does absolute miracles. 4. MAC Fluidline BLACKTRACK: I used to be a huge fan of liquid liner and I stopped using it because I hated how the point would wear down eventually. Fluidline goes on very smoothly and it stays on. I usually put two coast simply because I want my eyes to pop out just a lil more. 3. Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer: I used to be a die-hard mineral foundation fanatic until I learned that some of the stuff they put in it was a big NONO. SO i switched over to a tinted moisturizer but it just didn't do me any justice. Well I found this moisturizer and it made my skin glow. It gave me a very soft and natural look. It covered up my blemishes and evened out all my hyper-pigmentation. 2. RETINOL (aka Retin-A): I loooove this stuff. I get it through my dermatologist. I used to have many many little bumps all over my forehead and everything i tried would not make it go away to save my life. Within 1.5 weeks of using it, you can barely see my bumps. It also shrank my pores! Thank GOD! IF you don't have insurance this stuff is expensive! Since my husband is in the service, I get it for free =) 1. Dior DIORSHOW Mascara: Enough Said. It doesn't clump my lashes. It gives my lashes a tremendous amount of volume. It lengthens, thickens, volumizes, etc. It doesn't flake or smudge. It's not even a bitch to take off at the end of the night. It does so much without weighing down my lashes.



WOW it took me a hot minute to think about what I really use and swear by. I have soo much product. I should do a review on stuff I use for my hair. haha. OK with that..I shall sleep now =)
