Update: LA Trip! (:

Hey Guys! So this past week has been so much fun, but I haven't been posting on this blog in forever nor have I posted any videos lately! I have been in California for the past couple of days and this is why I hadn't really been posting videos. The week before I left for California was so crazy, I had final tests and projects, and I also had graduation. It was sooo busy! Now I am back and I go back home tomorrow. I filmed my IMATS haul while I was in Pasadena and I planned to edit it here in Venice because they have iMac's, but I forgot my camera plug thing to get all the footage over to the computer. iMovie is there waiting for me, but I can't plug in either of my dang camera's! I planned to make a blog post tonight on Benefit's SunBeam and a Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Tremble, but I cannot get them up obviously. But stay tuned for those! I will be getting those up and hopefully posting more things on here as I have taken quite a few photos this past week, which include product reviews, swatches, and NOTD's! (Nail of The Days!) I need to go make a quick update video with iMovie so TTYL (: Next Post will probably be something that I mentioned (:

SNEAKPEAK! Collective Haul (:

I will be filming a Collective Haul video in the next couple of weeks and I thought I would give you a quick sneak peek of the MAC portion!

These photos aren't exactly the perfect white background you normally see on a blog, but they are focused and that is all I care about! 

This first product is from the Chen Man Love & Water Collection

The packaging above is just a sleeve, like the Shop MAC Cook MAC packaging was, for the normal packaging of a MAC Lipglass. 

The shade I got I describe as, Neon Bubble Gum Pink. MAC describes it as a vivid honeysuckle pink, aka way to complicated for Kate to describe. (: Let me just say I love it, and what is it called??

Force Of Love

This is quickly becoming my go to spring lip gloss, or should I say lipglass??

This next product is from the Sheen Supreme Collection by MAC! 

The packaging for this collection is the exact same as their standard packaging, nothing special :(

The packaging is a long, sleek and ultra shiny black tube, much different then there normal bullet packaging. I would describe the color as a rosy pink with a couple hints of coral. MAC on the other hand says... soft pink with pearl, definitely fits their description better than mine (:

 Blossom Culture

 This is a very skimpy swatch, but oh well! This paired with the Chen Man Gloss, you better watch out because Kate's coming to town! Haha (:

Last LIP product but never least, the latest Viva Glam product, Viva Glam Nicki Minaj!

It is in the normal packaging, but with her signature giving a hint of shiny red, nothing to special, but very nice (:

 The tube is black but instead of having a silver ring thing with silver righting, they are a shiny red matching the box. The long part between the black and the lipstick is also red. The only thing I can think of to describe the color is NEON. Haha (:

MAC describes it as Viva Glam Nicki or Bright Yellow Pink. Plus a Satin finish!

Gorgeous!

Such a long post, my hands are tired! Haha (:

My All Time Favorite Body Butter

Really the best?

Oh Yes. 

This lovely product is, The Body Shop Body Butter, my favorite scent is Cranberry Joy, though it is a holiday special so I have to go to other scents once this runs out, but I think I will live. (:

If you can tell already, I have basically used up this jar, and their is only less now because I took this picture a couple of days ago and I have used it since and now have about half this. :( This body butter not only smells heavenly, it is the most moisturizing thing I have ever laid eyes on, so far. It is so thick and creamy it's like putting ice cream directly on your body. This I would not really use it the morning unless you are wearing shorts because when you use it at night, it gives the thickness of the moisture to really sink in and give it's full potential of moisture, if you understand what I am saying. (:

Luckily, while in Canada this past week I got my hands on a fresh new jar and +BONUS! It was on clearance for $9.00! Wahoo! Get your hands on a jar, if you would like this scent, while you can! TRUST ME, IT'S AMAZING(:
