Haul!

Hello there cherubs!
This post is going to be a HAUL post! I was going  to make a youtube video about it on my channel, angeldemon9297, but, as it turns out it is just easier to make a blog post about it. Let me know if you end up wanting to see a video about the things I list. Here we go!

 
So this is the first thing I bought, because when I was in the store, I got a bit hungry so I got a cliff bar haaha. This is my favorite one of them all, and they run for about $1 a bar. They are super yummy and super filling! I would check them out if you've never had them. Another good one to try is Luna bar, which is the female version of this. I personally like both.

The next thing I bought was Herbal Essences Split End Protector. It smells AMAZING, and it leaves your hair feeling super soft and hydrated. It makes your hair looks full and amazing, and prevents split ends from forming, which is always a plus. :) This retails for $3.37.

The next thing is Vaseline total moisture lotion. It makes your skin feel SO soft and keeps them from being dry and protects them from weather. It works really well as the moisturizer under makeup as well. It doesn't has SPF in it or anything, which stinks, but otherwise it is a wonderful moisturizer. This retails for $4 or so.

The next thing I got was a trial size of the Neutrogena makeup remover wipes. It retails full price at $5, but I got the sample for $1.25.

The next thing I got was the sample size of Palmer's olive oil formula gro therapy hair oil. The full size retails for $4 or $5, but I got the sample for 97 cents. I don't like the smell of this, but it works well to condition the hair and make it shiny.

The next thing I got was a sample of the Clean and Clear Morning Burst face scrub. The full size retails for $6, and again, I got the same for 97 cents.

The next thing was an ELF matte lip color, and if you don't know what ELF stands for, it stand for eyes, lips, face. The full size retails for $3, and this is what is depicted above. The color I got was Barely nude which is very pretty under a pinky lip gloss.

The next thing I got was an ELF under eye concealer and highlighter. It retails for $1 or $3 and both sides have a doe foot applicator to apply them with.

The next thing I got was an ELF tinted moisturizer in the color Sand. It works very well for the summer since it is so lightweight, and it prevents your skin from feeling heavy or weighed down in the heat. This retails for $3.

The next thing I got was ELF tone correcting concealer. It was really cheap, retailing at $1, and it has a doe foot applicator to apply it with.

The next thing I bought was the Hard Candy baked bronzer in the color Tiki. It has beautiful gold streaks on it, and it leaves your face glowy and radiant.

The next thing I got was Hard Candy Glow all the Way highlight and glimmer lotion in the "color" Doll Face. It comes out pink, and then when you blend it, gold shimmer and glow come through, and the pink color goes away.

So that's it for my haul lovelies! I hope you enjoyed this post! Remember that if you want a video of this haul, leave a comment on this post.

Review on...Revlon lipsticks!

Hello there sweet cherubs!
As you  could probably tell from the title of the post (since, you know, you can read and stuffs) this will be a review on Revlon lipsticks! Now, I know that there isn't a picture to accompany this here post, but I promise, once my laziness is done with, there will be a pretty picture posted at the top.

Everyone I have seen on youtube, (well...not EVERYONE, which is good 'cause otherwise there would be a trillion people to see on there and I don't have the time for that jazz, so, when I say everyone, I'm talking about the beauty community here) raves on and on about MAC lipsticks, and if you live in the UK, then Topshop lipsticks instead of Revlon ones. The major thing that people talk about Revlon wise are the lipbutters. As I'm not really the biggest fan of sheer color, unless it is a lipgloss or just plain chapstick/lipbalm like Blistex, I would rather stick to the plain ol' lipsticks. I only own two lipsticks so far, so this is what I think of them as of now, and this post, or another post will include my over all thoughts once I have purchased a couple more. The two that I own are Blushing Nude, and I think...Smoked Peach, which in my opinion is more orange than I would of liked it. When I saw the color in the tube, and the name, I thought it would be more of a coral color, which I absolutely love. As for Blushing Nude, I am IN LOVE with this lip color!


I will post a picture of each lipstick in its tube, and of me wearing them shortly!

As for the smell, consistency, etc of Revlon lipsticks, I wish they would smell pretty. I would enjoy them a lot more if say, the Smoked Peach one smelled of peaches, and the Blushing Nude one smelled like raspberries or strawberries. The consistencies of both are very smooth, but not very moisturizing once they sit on the lips for a while. The color stays for a long time, I just wish they were nourishing to the lips. I would suggest putting a balm on first before applying the lipsticks.

More later once I actually have money and can get more haha!

Supernatural, daily thoughts, and ramble.

I have Netflix, and this show popped up on my suggestions based on my interests thus far. Having a tumblr account, and also seeing that the people I followed on there liked the show and CONSTANTLY posted gifs about it, I decided to give it a go. And man, was I right to do so! This show is so freaking addicting and can I say hubba hubba to the Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins? I laugh, I cry, I get scared and most of all, I AM HOOKED! If you haven't watched this show yet, please do, you won't be sorry! I am currently watching Season 5, and since Netflix only has up to Season 6, I will most definitely be purchasing Season 7, when it comes out on DVD of course.

As for my daily ramble, I am currently ADDICTED to youtube. I can't stop watching all these amazing beauty gurus, and they have got me hooked on makeup. I never thought in all my life that I'd be fussed with bronzer, or highlight, or lipsticks, but alas, I am. My favorite gurus at the moment are beautycrush, essiebutton, thepersianbabe, theuglyfaceofbeauty, missglamorazzi, and last but not least voussontbeauetbelle. They are all such beauty, amazing people and I wish I knew them in real life! (Their names are Sammi, Este, Barbara, Gracie, Ingrid, and Becca, respectively.) They give me such inspiration and they brighten up my day when I see their videos in my sub box.

Check them out if you haven't!

Well, that's really all today,

My thoughts thus far on A Game of Thrones :D

Everyone knows that HBO has recently started the new show called A Game of Thrones. The series is based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire and is told through the eyes of multiple characters. I am about halfway through the first book, but so far, the book is amazing! More thoughts as I read more..

xoxox, Abby

Hello there lovelies!,
I thought I would add a bit more to this most since I was a bit rushed the first time round. In this book, the characters we read about are Lord Eddard Stark, his wife Catelyn Stark, their children Arya, Sansa, and Bran, as well as their bastard son Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and last but not least Tyrion Lannister. This book has some very mature content in it, so be careful if you are under the age of 18. The next book in the series is called Clash of Kings, so when I finish the first book, which will be soon being I have only about 100 pages left, I will edit this post with a more "in-depth" review.

xoxox, Abby :)

Makeup collection!

So I decided to take the liberty and introduce you guys to my makeup collection as of yet. Underneath each picture will be the brand, the color and my thoughts. Enjoy!

First off is my Revlon lipstick in Apricot Fantasy, number 120 as you can see above. The consistency is quite nice, smooth and moisturizing. The color is more orange toned than I thought it would be,but, if you pair it with a nice pink toned lip gloss, the color is amazing.

 Next is my Glow Away bronzer and highlight combo from Hard Candy. The color is Maui and the top left is the bronzer, and the bottom left is the highlight color. They both give a beautiful shimmer and glow to the skin, and the only thing I have against this is the smell. I would prefer it to have an actual beautiful smell, but it smells more like plastic than anything else sadly.


Here we have the Fit Me compact is the color Sandy Beige. It comes from Maybelline New York, and it have the color on top, and underneath there is a mirror and a powder puff. I personally don't like the powder puff, so I go generally for a fluffy powder brush to apply it over my liquid foundation.

Next is the lip gloss I mentioned above with the Revlon lipstick. It is in the color All of American Girl, number 154. It is a plumping serum, and smells like vanilla. It is absolutely divine. A must have in your purse! The only thing I have against it is that is has the sticky consistency which causes my hair to stick to my lips sometimes haha.

My favorite mascara off all time is the One by One volume express by Maybelline New York in very black. It gives my already long eyelashes the added oopmph that they need. Clumping can occur sometimes, but if you watch what you are doing, they look amazing. However, I would not use this mascara if you don't want very dramatic lashes.


This thing really isn't a makeup product, but it's a must have for moisturized lips. The brand is EOS, and I think the smell is supposed to be strawberry smoothie, but it is hard to know, because the smell/flavor isn't on the product. It doesn't taste all the great, which is a let down because I lick my lips a lot, but the overall product is amazing.

The next three lipsticks I am going to show are from a brand called the Color Workshop. I bought these at Wal-mart and there are some great things about them, but also so bad ones. This color is a golden pink one, with LOTS of shimmer, which I hate. It leaves a gritty texture on my lips after sitting for a while, yet, at first it applies smoothly onto the lips. If you are someone who likes lots of shimmer, then you'll love this product.

This is a very beautiful berry color with very little glitter in it. It is a little too dark for me, but if you blot a little onto the lips like a stain, and apply a clear or pink toned gloss over top of it, it looks lovely for on stage or nicer events like that.

This one is a bright red color that if you have hazel eyes brings out the gold in the eyes. Well, at least for me it does haha. I have worn this color the most out of the ones I have from the Color Workshop. If your hair is dark, this color will look absolutely stunning on you. My hair is naturally blonde, but currently my hair is a strawberry blond color. I am dying my hair a dark brown before the week is out so I will post a picture with the brand, color, and result afterwards.

This eyeliner is my favorite pen liner of all time. It is the Maybelline Unstoppable eyeliner in the color onyx. Sorry about the quality of the swatch, my camera didn't pick up the color all the well. My daily look ALWAYS includes this eyeliner because it looks AMAZING in the water line with the One by One mascara. I will post some pictures of my daily look on here soon, and also will include a link to a youtube tutorial that I will do to show how I accomplish my look.

This eyeshadow palette is actually from the dollar store believe it or not, and it is the brand L.A. Colors. The pigments are actually amazing, and are long lasting. The colors are a turquoise blue, a lime green, yellow, a bright orange, a matte orange, a red and a pink, a deep purple, a forest green, and a deep shimmery black.

 One of my favorite setting powders is the L'oreal Paris Hydra Perfecte translucent powder. It smells amazing, and is perfect over a liquid foundation and makes your face glow amazingly. I would highly recommend it. The only problem I have with it is since it is a loose powder, it gets EVERYWHERE. It came with a powder puff, but like I said with the Fit me collection, I use a fluffy powder brush.



My camera died before I could take the rest of the pictures of the rest of my collection, but I will be sure to either edit this post, or make a new one. I hope you enjoyed this very lengthy post, and I will see you all soon!
