My Makeup Collection

So I decided to do a post on all the make-up I own. It's not much and everything I have is pretty cheap. But hey I actually own more makeup than my mother! She believes deeply in natural beauty and hates it even when I put a bit of eyeshadow!

My makeup collection is the equivalent to the amount of makeup a not-so-beginner-but-still-a-beginner makeup kit. I bought most of my stuff with my own money.


I put all my makeup into a makeup bag that a friend gave me for christmas. Before the bag, I used to put everything in a drawer. I really need to buy mini drawer to put all my makeup in but I keep forgetting.
My first item, I'll present to you guys is the E.L.F Limited Edition Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow ($10). It's a super long name that gets me tongue twisted every time but it's really lovely. I got it for Christmas and this is my second palette. 
The Palette has 100 colors in total. Out of my two palette this is my favorite because the colors are more natural. I can make hundreds of natural combos. I can use this palette everyday.

Here are some swatches. The colors are really pigmented but some colors can be very bright. Bright colors tend not to compliment me.


This is the first palette I ever bought. I bought it off of Ebay. Its called the Pro 96 palette ($9.26). This palette tend to compete with the Coastal Scents 88 palette and Bhcosmetics 120 and 88 palettes but I've use those palettes before. The 96 is pretty much the same as those ones. I saved so much money on this palette so I just said: If it's not MAC (or any other luxgury brand makeup), it's not worth the extra money. 

Here are some swatches. I like this palette because it's super pigmented and the colors overall are deep. 
Here are my broken up travel palettes. They didn't cost more than $3 and I needed them when I overslept and needed to do makeup in school everyday (which I stopped doing, bareface is okay too). They obviously couldn't handle constant travel in my bookbag. 


My false lashes collection currently. Usually I own a box of Ebay lashes and I own a pair of Revlon Fantasy  Lengths that I never wore but I somehow misplaced it. Go figure. 

This is a pair of Ardell Invisband Fairies ($3.49) that I had since January but never wore because I'm scared I might need them for a special event,

Gyaru lashes, if I ever feel the need. It was a korean brand ($1). I think it was Darkness


The upper left corner is ELF Essentials Limited Edition Silver Box Eyelash Kit ($3). It was a gift. The upper right corner is an Ebay off-brand. Also was a gift. The bottom one (which looks really disgusting but I only used it once, the box looks disgusting because  of my bookbag and it didn't agree, like my palette) 

My liquid foundation. Maybelline Mineral Power in Latte Dark 1-3 (which I believe is no longer sold). I bought it on Ebay (and its still sold on Ebay so I intend to stock up). It gives awesome coverage and because it's discontinued it cost a little bit more than a buck. 
I get this BB Cream for free whenever I buy circle lenses from thedollyeyes.com. It saves me from buying concealer. When I use this under my foundation it gives medium coverage while my foundation gives me another medium coverage. It overall cover up my eyebags and my occasional pimple (I don't generally get pimples on my face, I usually get them on my chest)
L'Oreal True Match Naturale. Keeps all my makeup together pretty well and it doesn't cake. Since all my skin products have SPF 15, 15 x 3,  45 spf, I think my skin is getting awesome protection lol. 

An off brand liquid foundation I bought to use as eyelid primer. It was a $1 and it's such a bad foundation that it works great for other things. 

My NK automatic eyeliner ($1). Looks like a gel liner except so much easier to apply.
Mattese Eye Drama. This pretty much sucks. But it's brush is okay.
 My mascaras and random elf eyelash curler. The only thing that is missing is Maybelliner Falsies Mascara which I am going to bu

A buyincoins product! One is a fiber and one is the the actual mascara. In combination it makes your lashes super long. It's called Flamingo...... (super long name). Only $2.18 and free shipping. 
Kiss I-Envy ($4.95). This also a very good mascara because the bristles of the brushes separates your lashes and indivually coats them. 
A Lumene Mascara ($1) that's probably discontinued but it's really cool because it a blue mascara but the blue barely shows. It give good volume however. 
An off-brand mascara ($!) its does a basic job.

My lip colors.


Slightly melted but a cute color. I got it from my sister so I don't the brand or the price.


This was a deep red from NK ($1). To my surprise the bullet broke when I opened it! Oh well, I didn't really like NK lipsticks, they are cheap but they easily give me clownish lips. 

My lip glosses. 

The two small ones are Sephora's Birthday gifts. They are a sugar lip treatment. The pink one is a red tint and the maroon one is clear. They really smooth my lips and moisturize them. 

This is a lipstick/lipgloss combo stick. I don't know where I got it but I think I got it for free when I bought my clothes for my trip to Disney World.
Swatches.


That's basically it for my makeup collection. It's relatively small in comparison to gurus and might be huge for those mascara-and-lipgloss-is-all-i-need type of girls. But a makeup collection isn't something you just all buy at once. It takes time for these things to pile. It called a collection for a reason. I will always have stuff adding on. For example I just got Elf Eyeliner Pen and a chinese eyelash glue today. When starting a collection, just take things two at a time! 



Thanks for reading my post!

Shopping Goals

I think I have very bad luck. Both my camera and my tablet is broken and now I need to use my warranties to get new ones. My knee went out in dance class and again just now and my "circle lenses" from Dollyeye aren't circle lenses really. They are waaayyyy too natural. Did I mention I  have 10 reviews that laying in my drafts because my camera doesn't work? FML I have bad luck. BUT I can't continue to leaving my blog blank just because my day went from awesome (since I had no lectures today and all I did was socialize) to totally sucking.

Stress-erasing exercise time :).

Now if you are in high school like me, shopping goals are nice way to manage the little money you have (unless you have daddy's credit card). If you don't have a job like me, you have to be super tight budget with what you buy (unless you have daddy's credit card). The difference between a Shopping List and Shopping Goals is that you don't have the money to actually buy the things you want. It might take months  before you can actually  buy these stuff (siigh I really want daddy's credit card). But the goal-set to make the money to buy this stuff will stay in mind. Matter of fact I think this concept can apply to college-students as well. For some reason goals just lead you to your destination and then some.


My Shopping Goals


1. Mintymix wig. I'm not a super big fan of wigs (or weave for that matter) but I love two tone wigs soo much. Wigs give you the look without destroying your hair <3.

2. Geo Nudy Blues, one day you will be mine..

3. And so will dolly eye green

4. And the puffy 3-tones in EVERY Color 
 Sponsors remember to email me at skyangelko@aol.com. I am very interested lololol..... SERIOUSLY


Hehee *awkward cough*

5.  Dolly wink lashes. Despite what giveaway I enter ,I just can't seem to win a pair. But they are SO expensive. -___-"

6. Redo my wardrobe per season. F21, Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, H&M, be prepared for a psycho to buy out all your merchandise :D


And I stop here because my shopping goals has hit around $200, as poor high-school student with no job (daddy you better give me that credit card!!) I don't want to aim too high. Like with life goals, the higher you aim, less likely you can succeed................................... I know I just negated some nice motivational quote but it's true! In order to really succeed, you must set goal within your capabilities.

So imagine, you have got a new place. The place of your dreams. It's beautiful and polished with white or cream walls, white carpet  and you put every piece of your hard earned money into this place. Then you have a kid. It could be your niece or nephew or even your stepson. They are pretty young and still have problems differing from whats the right to do and what's wrong. Or even worst, they love doing wrong.
Don't be wrong, your child may be an angel in your eyes and you could never make you upset. Well that is until they scribble all over your beautiful wall with a crayon. And let's face it; making him try to be artistic with a crayon doesn't help everyone so I got this idea.
There is a way to help your kid's inner creativity with destroying your home
Why parents love this toy:
  • Easy to travel with, takes almost no room in a suitcase or travel case
  • Can be used as a teaching tool
  • It's safe, endlessly reusable
  • It sticks to each other and almost any smooth surface with just fingertip pressure
  • Great for 3-D activities
  • It's made in the USA
  • The only limits are your children's imaginations
  • Clean up is just a quick wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel
  • They make great gifts or stocking stuffers
Recently I've used whenever I baby-sit and kids just love.They'll sit at the table and play with it for hours. My recommendation is to buy it. Plus you can use it yourself to keep occupied especially on long road trips and the ride is too bumpy to draw or write.
