Hard Candy Mini Haul + Review

So, my grams didn't know what to get me for Christmas... so she let me pick out what I had wanted to get instead!

 Since my grams doesn't have alot of money she suggested that she buy me some makeup so I didn't argue with that! ha ha

She bought me a few things from Hard Candy (So Baked Bronzer in Heat Wave, Blush Crush Baked Blush in Living Doll, 1,000 lashes fiberized lash weave mascara in midnight black and a Wetn' Wild H20liquid eyeliner in black.She also bought me a box of Ardell eyelashes which I didn't take a pic of because I forgot ha ha)

I was iffy about the Sheer Envy tinted moisturizer by them but decided to get it anyways just to try it out! And I must say I was satisfied with it!

I don't just use it by itself I put on my smashbox primer then put the tinted moisturizer on then my Revlon Photo Ready foundation. 
When I do it this way my foundation looks AMAZING!! Especially in pictures. But if you have oily skin then I don't recommend this. My face feels dewy afterwards and after the entire day I did notice that my face did get a bit oily but not over excessively to sway me away from doing this! I coupled it with the So Baked Bronzer on my temples cheeks and contoured with it and I love this too! I am totally throwing out my old bronzer.

I then put on my regular blush from tarte and put the Blush Crush Baked Blush on over top.... jeezus try saying that 10 times! If you can I will bow down! I tried and couldn't ha ha

The Blush Crush Baked Blush seriously reminded me of something and I couldn't put my finger on it! Then it hit me...
It reminded me of Laura Gellers Ethereal Rose Face powder, so I swatched the two side by side and whattya know they do share a similar look buuuuut

The Hard Candy blush was more pigmented and looks and feels waaay better! Not to mention it does not have huge chunks of glitter in it! I know that the blush is blush and the face powder from laura geller is a face powder. But I used the Laura Geller powder just over top of my blush to add a lil ompft to it!  The so baked bronzer is like that too! It has a finer grain of glitter in it more like shimmer which personally bronzer should look more of a shimmer than a glimmer... same with an all over face powder... kinda looks like you put silver glitter all over your face! yuck! I checked out my previous pictures using the stuff and I highly recommend Hardy Candy's Blush and Bronzer! Yes I noticed the glimmer much much more. And you shouldn't buuuut the choice is up to you! If you want to save money and have a better product then yes go for the Hard Candy! ;-)

Please don't spend the money on the Laura Geller stuff! I only bought mine from ebay for like 7 bucks! woot woot so that wasn't too bad!

Here is a pic of the items that I bought and a couple pictures with the products on! I loves them




Here is a few with the product on my face. So you can decide what you wanna decide! he he






Yes in this one I am wearing the eyelashes they are the 101 demi's.



Right now I don't really have a comment on the Hard Candy's 1,000 lashes mascara yet. The eyeliner from Wet n' Wild though seriously is a crazy liquid eyeliner it does not come off! It stays put like mad crazy! I liiiiiiiike it!

I hope you liked it!

Circle Lens Review - Geo Ash Wing

I had bought me some of these babies after watching a you-tuber rave about them
so i was like "I need to get me some of these!" .. "wow" .. "amazing" 
"OMG they are how much!?!"

Anyways, they came to about $27.00 dollars CAN (incl. shipping) I bought them online from http://www.candylens.com/ .. don't quote me on the price because it will vary depending on where you live. (the currency conversion)

I let them soak the 8 hours and I waited it too! I'm shocked with myself because I was sooooo soooo excited to get them in the mail! (see pic below)

Wait ... don't be scared! Its me with no make-up on! Yes I know scary and ugly! trust me I already know! *hangs head in shame*



Anywho, I got them opened them up and seriously I felt soo special (not short bus special jus FYI) they put a little note in with it .. had my name on it! It also came with a little contact holder thingy. Which I might say was very practical because then I didn't have to go out and buy one just for it! So I was stoked! woot woot I think I got little bears or something... not too sure but it was cute! Then I soaked them in my solution that I normally use for my contacts. (pic below) I don't have a video camera so I can't show you exactly what I did. But if you go to their site they have everything you need to know there! Again there site is http://www.candylens.com/





 Put them in and was ready for a night out in the town! See pic below I look better Its all goooooooood! ha ha I don't wanna scare you away or anything!



I also have other pics on my blog with the contacts in!


You may think that they are very out there bam in your face colored contacts but they totally aren't in the real! They are very subtle. When I'm wearing them and the building has dark lighting my eyes look like they have a bit of a twinkle to them and you can't help but stare. When you're up close and you look at my eyes then you can notice that they are in fact a different color

I was in Wal-Mart the other day and a friend of mine was standing a foot away and she noticed them right away was like "omg, they look soo nice" So, it really depends on lighting and who notices.. like my granny didn't notice anything at all! ha ha

They mostly show alot of color in pictures I noticed, since my eyes are very dark already so this is just on me! They also do enlarge your eyes a bit. They have a wide assortment of lenses there so I'm sure that you'll find some that you are looking for! 

Ahhh yes before I forget they are prescription. Some people say that they make their eyes drier but on me they don't they are perfectly fine!

I looooooove them! I am most def going to be buying more from there!
