Blog Haul (New Series) - Ulta

Gotta show off the bag - haha

So I wanted to start this new little "series" on my blog. Just small hauls that either I am too lazy to do a video on, too small, not that important, or what have you. This happens to be a little mini Ulta Haul with the NYC Creme Blushables. Sometimes I may include a little review if I have tried it already, if not I will do a follow up review. I think this may be good just because sometimes I forget to add stuff in hauls if it has been a long time, you know the drill lol.


The three colors I got were South St Seashell, Big Apple blush, and Plaza Pink




SWATCHES (from left to right): South St Seashell, Big Apple Blush, Plaza Pink



Now, I've got to admit - I only bought these beause I saw michele1218 (on YouTube) buy these and she really liked them. I probably would have never found these if it weren't for her because I checked my local CVS AND Target and they didn't have any of the colors out. I stopped buy my Ulta and they had all of the permanent colors, they didn't have the ones that michele1218 talks about because that was part of their summer collection I believe.

REVIEW: I only tried the South St Seashell and that was for the first time today. So I might do a further review later on but based on the consistency and how well it went on I really like these so far! I have tried MACs cremeblushes and clinique and some other brands. And honestly, I tend to stay away from the creme blushes because I feel when I apply them they begin to look spotchy and uneven, almost as if I rubbed my cheek unevenly. These went on so smooth and you don't have to set it, but I did with mine it went on amazingly! I used my fingers and a brush and they both worked fine.



Now, I was skeptical of purchasing these at first just because I have had bad luck with the creme blushes but at 3.99 for amazing quality. Who can go wrong!? I really do like these and I recommend these as well! Give it a try, they are a lot cheaper than the competitors! I believe you can get these at CVS, mine just didn't have them out yet.


Thanks for reading

Upcoming MAC Collections

Lately, I think MAC has had an overkill with all of their collections coming out. I feel like with each collection that comes out they don't put much thought into each one to make it that special. For example, the Hello Kitty collection & style warriors were big collections last year. So far, I have no seen a huge collection that has been as good as those simply because they come out with mini collections every Thursday. I feel like if they were to have a HUGE collection come out maybe once a month, that would be much better and more worthy. I have skipped so many collection this past month because I just feel they are nothing special. I am a sucker for limited edition items/packaging so that's why I feel the need to buy stuff, but at the same time it limits me from expanding my permanent collection from MAC.

Phew, with that little rant out of the way here are the collections I am excited about.
*MAC is coming out with way more collections than these but here is what I want from each. MORE DETAILS & PHOTOS AT temptalia.com

I need a new camera

LONG TIME NO TALK! The main reason why I am so lazy updating the blog and doing swatches, etc. is that the digital camera I have now, I don't really like and it doesn't take that good quality pictures. So this friday, I believe I am going to go on a hunt for a good camera that takes decent videos as well here are some of the ones I have been looking at:



-This camera I have been eyeing for quite awhile because it takes really good pictures, yet has HD filming as well. I don't necessarily NEED the HD videos...but it's a nice little option!



-I also have been looking into this one as well because I believe this is one of the videos Lorraine uses on her day in the life vlogs and it is such nice quality! Another added bonus is the screen on the front so you can make sure you look good in the pictures [LOL]

Anyways, I am not that knowledgable in the technical field so if you have any suggestions for any digital cameras that would be wonderful! Thanks so much for reading.

Just a question...

Would you guys like to see follow me around vlogs "Lorraine style"? I have filmed those before but I wasn't sure if anyone would wanna even see them so I deleted them....


Those kinds of videos are actually my favorite ones to watch!
Just let me know :]



I will be updating soon on here!
Just been busy with school and work....sorry for neglecting my blog!

Neglection...

I always somehow manage to neglect my blog... but I do have a semi excuse...I work & go to school full time so I am exhausted by the end of the day! But my new goal is to blog at least 3 times a week whether it be a short blog or a long detailed blog!

SOOO AN UPDATE!!!
Well, actually there's nothing really new that's going on with me other than, I have no idea what I want to major in/do in life. For the longest time I wanted to become a dentist...but that was mainly because they make a lot of money. When I started to think about what I REALLY wanted to do...that wasn't it....I should want to WANT to become a dentist & have a passion for it...which I do not. So instead this summer, I think I am going to go to cosmetology school for I think hair...I love doing peoples hair/makeup so I definitely want to go into that field & I also wanted to start thinking about modeling...yeahhhh I don't know about that one!

But other than that, just busy with school & work...I'm sorry I'm such a slacker! I even have tonsss of pictures on my camera of swatches but I never get around to posting!

OH, I think I am going to get a new camera this week! Excitinggg! Just a regular one to take pictures :]


ANDDD, I am going to start doing [if you watch Lorraine from the "thecurrentboobies" her channel. I love that style of follow me around vlogs! So I wanted to start doign videos like that...but it might just be like a couple times a week not daily because most of the time I'm either going to work or going to school...boringgg!



ANYWAYS, I should stop procrastinating on doing my homework & get started already! Blog you all soon <3

Yay!

Today I bought my Flip Mino HD! The reason why I bought this camera and not the others is because this video camera is going to be dedicated to vlogging and bringing the camera around with me blahblahblah and when I'm not around my laptop to film.

I'm going to LA [if work gives me the time off!] next week for a few days to go shopping [:D] and I primarily bought the camera so I can document all the fun! I hope you guys will enjoy these kinds of videos cause it gives you an inside scoop in my personal ilfe!

So I got 2 days shipping which means it will be here on THURSDAYYY! Woohoo! Yay for faster shipping! And I plan to do a vlog before I leave to test out the camera and stuff.

I am going to buy a HD camcorder eventually...just not now because I don't think that it is a necessity and it can wait especially the big price tag that goes along with those cameras!



I hope you guys enjoy the upcoming "follow me" type vlogs and get to know me better :]
