I have been invited to participate in the Afrin Stick Up For Yourself BzzCampaign not long ago. I took these pictures, but never got the chance to do a post on it. I'm lagging...

● If you're struggling with a common cold, hay fever, upper respiratory allergies I recommend picking this up. Also it's for relieving sinus congestion, pressure and shrinks swollen nasal membranes so you can breathe more freely.

● Please do not use if you have the followings: heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabete and lastly trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland.

● When you're using this product please do not use it directly to your nose. Try not to use it more than three days. Use it only as directed. Using it frequent or prolonged will cause nasal congestion to recur or worsen. We all don't want that to happen to us.

BzzCampaign: CoverGirl Blast FlipSticks Campaign

Another BzzCampaign I was invited to participate were the CoverGirl Blast FlipSticks Campaign. I was super duper excited because this was my first time being invited to a Beauty campaign. As you all may know I am a makeup addict so more to my collections I should say? I've tried these out and I must say certain colors works on me and some doesn't. I will try to do another post on the reviews, swatches and what not for you ladies. I will do swatches on my lips as well. This should be fun right? LOL



I must say everything was so packaged neatly in the box! In total there are 13 shades you can try from the CoverGirl Blast Faststick Lipcolors line. My package came with three gorgeous shade which are:

CoverGirl Blast Faststick Lipcolors:

Minx: a deep brown and gold shades
Stunner: bright pink and gold shades
Vixen: burgundy and pearl pink shades

● Whats so awesome about this is that the product is an actual dual-ended lipstick that allows you to wear it in three ways. Well, I would wear it in three ways. Well, how if you're wondering? You can wear either end by itself or you can mixed the two together. Simple as that right? I think its a great way to carry one lipstick because you ladies don't know how many I carry in my purse. LOL I also read that its a great way to make your lips ombre. Say what?! HAHA

● Like I mentioned before its great to blend two shades together or wear each ends by itself.
● Gives you the options to wear it as an ombre look if you want. Be different! :)
● Dual-ended lipstick that has a creamy color vs a shimmery shade on the other end.
● Created, designed (director) by Covergirl artist, Pat McGarth.
● Comes in 13 shades which will compliment each other.
● I love moisturizing lipsticks because you won't have a problem with your lips being dry.
● You can find these at your local drug stores, groceries stores and probably retailer stores... Ulta for an example
● Retails for $8.49 (if you want a coupon(S)) message me.
● For more information on these products you can check out their websites, Facebook page for more shades and tips.

Website: covergirl.com
Facebook: facebook.com/covergirl

My BzzKit includes:
● 3 Full Size CoverGirl Blast FlipStick Lipsticks in the shades: Vixen, Minx, Stunner. Gorgeous shadesssss!!!

● Official Bzzguide that includes a bunch of stuff you need to know about this products.

Black Friday: Tarte Falling For Hue Set!




On Black Friday I was supposed to work, but since we didn't have any clients. My boss decided to close so no work for me. Whoohoo! LOL I didn't go shopping until 6PM! Yup! I wasted a whole day eating leftovers and being a bum at home. HA! Call me crazy, but I went to Lakeside Mall which I know it'll be hella pack! Ahhhh! Of course!



My first stop was Sephora, but it was the same ole stuff I saw the last three weeks! HAHA I decided to stop by JC Penny just because and guess what? I forgot they had a Sephora in there. I forgot because I remembered they were building one in there. Heck! I found a section of stuff that were on sale. I found something that was Tarte so I decided to get it! I've been obsessing over Tarte as you can see. LOL I think I retired from Tarte after this post! Will see. Hehe



I don't think I've ever seen this before, but I got this for only $17! It was originally $28 and OMG! Three full sized products for freaking $17!!! Hello! The main reason why I bought this is because it comes with a Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour blush! FULL SIZE! Amen to that! Just as a reminder a full size blush is $25! I wasn't going to pay that much, but for $17 plus two more products? I'm there! The Rise & Shine Lip gloss comes with a double sided applicators.



Even though I'm not a VIB, but I got the VIB bag for FREE! LOL Also, I got Bare Minerals READY SPF20 Foundation samples. The employee gave me 2 and plus a button which I will explain more... :D
 I left a happy camper! :D

This set comes with:

+ Tarte Nude Rise & Shine Lip gloss
+ Tarte Pink Rise & Shine Lip gloss
+ Tarte Charisma Amazonian Clay 12 hour blush

So this is such a pretty good deal if you ask me.
-Retailed at: $67

Tarte Fantastic Foursome!


Here I am with my second haul from Sephora. The first time I laid my eyes on this I knew for a fact it would be a hassle to hunt these down. I made sure I watched Youtube videos to see if these were promising. Oh man! You ladies don't know how many girls, females, ladies, women had this set on Youtube! I'm a proud owner!

The first time I checked was when I got the Carried Away With Tarte. I asked the employee when they were going to restock. She told me they're really popular and they might restock one more time. It was still sold out on Sephora and my next decision were to order it from the Tarte website. Since I wanted to increase my Sephora points I decided to just wait and wait.

The next following week I decided to go back to the mall since the Saints game were starting at 3PM. Also, I had to stop by The Body Shop because of their deals and FREE stuff to claim! :] Post will be up when pictures are taken! So, I decided to stop by Sephora first to see if they restock and OMG! I saw one set left. I literally ninja myself across the store to get to it. I was so shock this was the last one and I finally got it in my hands! Muahahaha!
The Tarte Fantastic Foursome is one of their Holiday set so get them because its a must! This set comes with four different Amazonian Clay 12- hours blushes. This is SUCH a great deal because one regular size blush is already $25! With four different blushes for $35 is SUCH a better deal! I've been wanting to try their blushes for the longest time, but with $25 a blush! Ummm, no thank you! My Tarte collection is growing though! Ahhhh!!! Swatches coming soon! :)



This set comes with:
+ Angelic (shimmering champagne)
+ Fantastic (soft fuchsia)
+ Stellar (shimmering nude)
+ Magic (pink coral)

I must say I'm not too big on glitter, but I love how their glitter isn't that much! Too much is just too much for me to handle! HAHA If you can't get these on the Sephora website or in store. I recommend to check out your local JC Penny Sephora because I found a bunch after I got my set! So don't forget to check there as well!

Tarte Carried Away Collector's Set

 
Hello ladies! It has been a very long time I did a Beauty post(s). I've been busy so its hard to try to take pictures and have my posts put up! I will start on my Tarte journey since I've been spending three weeks straight at the mall. Isn't that something?

On November 11, it was my birthday! I spent my three hours watching the Saints game and had plans to go to the mall afterward. With my little sister taking her precious time. I only had an hour to spend time at the mall. Darn well, that was enough time for me, but I went anyways!

As I mentioned before I usually don't buy a lot of stuff from Sephora, but lately it has been addicting forreals. A few weeks back I got an email from Sephora mentioning about new Holidays set. I quickly hopped onto my phone and decided to check out what they had. OMG! It was as if I won the lottery because there were so many stuff I wanted. Even though I told myself no more makeup, but I thought this was too good to pass up!

As I got to Sephora I had the Carried Away Collector's Set && the Fantastic Foursome Amazonian clay 12-hour blush enthusiast set on my to buy list. Too bad the blush were sold out! I was happy to get my hands on the Carried Away Collector's Set though.

Carried Away Collector's Set contains:
- 0.05 oz Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Adventurous (shimmering rose)
- 0.07 oz Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder
- 8 x 0.059 oz Maracuja Lip Glosses
- 0.16 oz Lights, Camera, Lashes! 4-In-1 Mascara
- Face brush
- 24 x 0.06 oz Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow
- Adventurer bag

I have yet to try any of these product except the Lights, Camera, Lashes! 4-In-1 Mascara! It happens to be one of my favorites as well. I will have more up close and personal pictures & swatches posted up soon!

Questionnaire:
1. Have you picked this set up for yourself?
2. What have you tried or haven't tried?
