Back in September I stumbled across a Bare Escentuals store here in Vegas. My bf was with me and I told him I HAD to go in! I love seeing all the little pots of eye colors. Our 6 month anniversary rolled around in November, and what did I get as a gift?... a gift card to BE! So, its been almost 6 months and I had yet to use it. I hate to drag him into stores when I'm looking at makeup because he could be waiting for a long time. Last week, I did the Las Vegas AIDS walk which was held by one of our outlet malls. After the walk, Ling and I decided to go browse around. And guess what I saw!... a BE OUTLET STORE!! I didn't know they even existed! We didn't go in, because I looked like poop after walking a few miles in the heat. I made it a priority to go this week. I got off work early on Friday, so I decided to go. Bad idea. Traffic was horrible and all the tourist were hitting up the mall in full force. I was so grumpy by the time I finished all my other shopping that I debated even stopping in. I finally found the store (it's in a weird little hidden area) and went in. AMAZING! They carry regular line stuff but of course they carry discounted stuff as well. I walked out of there spending a total of $65 (gc + my money). I think I got some pretty awesome deals! Here is what I got!
Face Fashion - Urban Vibe
Face Fashion - Classic Glam
Beauty Oasis Set
Angled Blush Brush
I had purchased this brush a few years ago to use with Warmth, and as you will see... I've worn it out. It was one of the things I HAD to have when I went shopping. The first time I got one, I paid more than TWICE what I paid on Friday. Plus it came in a cute little brush pouch.
Liner Shadow Quads II and III
And last, but not least... the GWP!
I got so much stuff and I couldn't be happier with my selection. Now I have to just keep myself from going there once a week!
What do you think of the colors and/or BE?

I walked by the wet n wild stuff when I went to Walgreens the other day and picked some goodies up. I must say, I am really impressed with the quality of wet n wild. I use to think they were cheap and that they didn't last long... but not anymore! This stuff is pretty awesome!
I love all three of these palettes! I haven't used anything else since I opened them. Here is a look I did using the Silent Treatment palette.
Thanks for stopping by!

Inglots!
I know a few people have done Inglots post this week, but I had my very first experience with them last week. It turns out that we have not just one, but TWO Inglots in Las Vegas. I consider myself to be very very lucky!
I was at Town Square with a couple of my friends having dinner, when I stumbled across the store. I paused outside and my jaw dropped. The lady inside started chuckling and waved me in. I felt like a little kid peering inside the toy store right before Christmas. I shook my head at the girl, no. I knew I could do some serious damage to my bank account if I went in. Finally, my friend Betty shoved me in. I fell in love! I decided to get the Freedom System that had 5 square pans. It was really close to closing time so I kind of rushed in my color picking. I went with a green, two purples, a gray and a beige. They are all so beautiful! The lady assembled the set for me which was pretty cool... but in doing so, I didn't get to see what the colors were called. Next time I'll do it myself so I have the color numbers/names.
While the girl was putting my pallet together I continued walking around the store looking at all the goodies. One of the girls was talking about how amazing their gel eyeliner was... and since I am always on the hunt for a liner that will stay on my watery waterline, I decided to try it. AMAZING! I picked up the black to try out and it is hands down the best liner for my waterline. Usually when I stick anything on my waterline, be it MAC Fluidline, UD 24/7 liner, or any other liner, it comes off within a few hours. This baby stayed all through work, and into the evening without any touch ups. It was a miracle! I plan on going back and getting more colors. In fact, I just told Ling I wanted to go shopping while he's watching UNLV get their butts handed to them. He asked what I wanted to go get, and when I said, "Makeup," he just rolled his eyes at me and said, "Really? You don't have enough?" I never have enough.
SO, without further ado... here's what I got!
And there it is! I hope you liked it!

MyBeautyAddiction
I've done a few posts where I have mentioned a shop on Etsy that I love. MyBeautyAddiction has great prices, great colors, great collections, and great products. The first time I ordered anything, I ordered a whipped body soap. I'm still a little confused on how to use it, but I'll learn. I was also sent a free sample of the Apricot Lip Butter. That stuff is seriously heaven for your lips. The first eye products I ever ordered from them was the Eclipse collection. It's my FAVORITE for sure!
The top row is done over primer and the bottom row is done over black liquid eyeliner.
I love how versatile this collection is. You can use them as a highlight or in your inner eye, or you can be bold and place it over wet eyeliner to make the color pop out!
The next collection I got was the Molten Metals collection. Again, these are gorgeous! I did a post about them previously. You should check it out!
A couple weeks ago I was browsing around their shop and I came across the Electric Collection. I had to have it. I ordered it along with 7 other colors.
These colors are so bright and fun! They definitely get attention!!
Some highlights and sparklie colors!
And there you have it! That's all my MBA eye colors. I would definitely recommend trying them out. They ship really fast and their samples are very generous. If I had to pick my most favorite products, they'd be the lip balm and the Eclipse collection for sure.
Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by!

Looks!
As I've been going through my computer I've founds pictures of looks I've done over the past few months but never posted. I'm not sure what I used in them... sorry. Hope you like 'em!


I think I used About Face Cosmetics for this look. I wore it to my moms lia sophia party last week.


I'm not sure where I wore this... but it's pretty neuteral and kind of boring I think... lol!


I'm pretty sure I used the Tarte Jewelry Box collection... which btw... I LOVE!


I think I used About Face Cosmetics.


This was my SF Giants look. I had on a Tim Lincicum shirt too!


And this was my New Years Eve look. I got the idea from a few different bloggers and LOVED it!
I know I have more photos somewhere and when I find them, I will post. I hope you enjoyed!
