Today I had to go pick up some supplies for my makeup class.
First mommy drove me to this little place behind CompUSA restaurant row, idk but they only had hair stuff.
Then we went down to Island Beauty Supply (near Ike Pono's old place) and they were filled with cool beauty, hair and equipment. I picked up some disposable spoolies for mascara, lip wands, and spatulas. I also picked up a nail file, false eye lashes and a Percision eye lish curler from Japonesque.
This place is NOT open to the public but if you're lisenced or have your school ID, then you can purchase from here. It's very cool.

I bought this CO Bigelow set after LOVING the entire MINT line.
It came with a body lotion, and other cremes but the only things I have tried are the
Handwash and this lip gloss
Same slippery moisturizing formula but with a STRONG lemon meringue scent.
So if you like Lemon meringue then you'd love this! i don't like it.
PM me and you can have it :p

I went to Sephora today and it was PACKED and the workers were BUSY.
I was looking for a new foundation as my Smashbox Healthy FX foundation in L3 was leaving me with a chalky chunky unnatural made-up finish.
So I figured for summer, I'd get something more sheer and easy to apply when I'm traveling, maybe a tinted moisturizer.
But I realized in-store that a tinted moisturizer will not provide anywhere near the coverage I need for an even complexion. I have veins and redness and uneven texture... good god!
But i tested out Cargo's Onebase in 02
it claims to be a foundation and concealer in one. i was afraid the color wouldn't blend in with my hard-to-match skin tone and because there is only 4 shades, but 2 did perfectly fine! I could layer on the coverage on my under eye circles and it never looked cakey or uneven. It didn't cover it completely (nothing will!) but it did tone down the crazy discolorations to a level that I'm pretty okay with.
I plan to buy this with the 15% and maybe a Urban Decay pocket rocket gloss (with the little semi-naked men on top)

I've discovered that many makeup bloggers swear by this stuff and call it a "staple in beauty" I bought a mini size for only like $1 something and the big one is under $5.
Cheap beauty?
I just used it, it smells like toothpaste but I like it. It dries really fast but you leave it on for about 15 minutes. You wash off with a washcloth but i just rinsed and followed with a micro-facial scrub. my skin is soft, the dry patches on my cheeks are gone for now, but I don't see much difference on my forehead break outs though my nose's pores had opened up for extraction but a lot of the blackheads and large pores are gone.
I like it, simply cause it's kinda refreshing and tingly but I don't feel like it's anything dramatic. Perhaps after a few weeks of usage...
my makeup is fabulous :3
I did this after class around 9pm cause I was bored lol. I love to do makeup when I'm not going anywhere :)
This look is a bare face with Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in ZERO, Sephora Brand Liquid Eyeliner in GLITTERING BLACK, Rimmel London eye shadow trio in RAW (for the red color), Shu Uemura Eyelash curler, Phenomen-eyes by Givenchy, and Loreal Color Juice Stick in Cherry Freeze, and Smashbox Soft-lights Tokidoki in DOLCE VITA on cheeks.
Okay, I'm going to create a list of my MUST HAVE makeup. This is partly because right after school I'm spending two weeks in florida and a month alternating between California and Las Vegas before heading back to hawaii.
So what am I keeping in mind?
1. Two weeks with the boyfriend = natural makeup, some special aspects, no sticky heavy lip gunk, makeup I can fall asleep in or is easy to take off
2. All of these places are HOT = breathable matte makeup, lots of primers to prevent melt downs and creasing, hair and skin will most likely be oily and break out
3. I need to pack this shit so I gotta keep it light.
1: FACE
smashbox High Definition Healthy FX liquid foundation in Light L3
(to be applied sparingly as a concealer mostly, full foundation on special occasions)
Beauty Blender &/or Mac 190 brush
Sephora Professionnel Powder Brush in 48

Makeup Forever HD powder
(to finish)
Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in "Park Ave. Princess"
smashbox Soft Lights Tokidoki in "Dolce Vita"
2: EYES
smashbox under eye brightener
Urban Decay Skull Shadow Box

5. HAIR

I'm aware this looks like a toy easter egg sponge that went flamoyantly gay but google reviews for this thing and you'll find the most common review is:
+ it blends like a DREAM (better than MAC brushes even)
+ it cleans easily with the cleaner (sold seperately)
- it costs a lot ($19.99 per egg)
- it lasts about 3 months only.
Well I decided I want one! So most likely I'll go out to Ricky's this weekend and pick me up one! I'll review when I do.
I kinda want a bronzer too. And I was gonna pick up some heavy duty concealer, but I've been using a bronzer, and I don't wanna pick up a new shade right before summer and my skin tone changes!

Jeez, idk if it'a cause I'm from Hawaii and not used to dry east cost, cold weather, but my skin is SO DRY. Like cracked desert dry. At first my skin used to actually have a white dry powder look and would even CRACK and BLEED. These things have made my skin so much better!
Nivea Soft
Whipped texture lotion that feels COOL and REFRESHING (really, I'm addicted).
It makes me want to keep putting it on, more and more, I was half out the day I bought it, it's addicting.
It has a light clean smell but the first thing I thought of was OLD LADY. I now call it "OLD LADY CREAM". it's not a bad smell, just a light powder fresh smell.
I'm obessed with the NIVEA line since it came to America, I have the "A Kiss of Moisture" lip balm (better than chapstick) and "A Kiss of Shine" which is a moisturizing lip care with a light Red color in a NON-STICKY smooth and fresh feeling gloss.
My mom had this at home, and after I used it for the winter break at home, I found it too thick and slimey to use in the heat. However, I immediately purchased one when I got back to NYC and it's almost gone. It has a barely noticible light refreshing scent and feels cool going on. It's so thick that sometimes the lotion will actually curl up on itself coming out of the pump. This is great though, I can see and feel it moisturizing my CRAZY dry skin, especially on WINTER HANDS.
I recommend this a little more than the NIVEA just cause it stays on skin a little longer and is much thicker.

More vintage hair!
okay so the little goody elastic is not so vintage, i'll get a little black rubber one that is not bright pink and distracting >.<
My bratty little cousin said I look like a strict asian teacher >.<

anyways:
I decided to re-try these
I bought they from BB&B when I had longer hair.
Well I put them in after I showered and slept... I didn't like it so much when I woke up, not exactly the sleek curls in the picture... But I went with it.
I worked it smoother and until the curls fell around my face. One side was smoother than the other, so I worked that up into a victory roll (well kinda, I tried), I was researching vintage hair styles earlier that night... it's huge on the internet! It's amazing and the style does fascinate me... as well as a lot of goth girls. I always admired that classic pinup look, Kat Von D does that.

Hey everyone! This is my new blog to chronicle my makeup obsession.
I'll talk about my wants and must-haves, review things I have and things I want to see reviews for.
yup yup. A lil about me? okay
I'm Nicole, I'm a young woman from Hawaii, who moved to NYC for college, then to L.A for more college, and also calls Florida home (LDR is there).
So needles to say I've been in the Fashion and trend capitols of the world and I travel all around a lot. I see the trends and changes in the people, particularly the College kids and young adults.
The trends change from place to place, and so does the weather so I've got experience in every situation!
