Colourpop Haul!

Saturday, September 12, 2015

HAUL TIME! No but the best kind of haul ever.... COLOURPOP! For those of you who haven't heard of this baby brand they are a super drugstore priced makeup line with the BEST quality around. They just celebrated their first birthday and since day one have had amazing products. Ive been using them since just about the beginning and they just keep getting better! I'm planning a full swatch fest and review of all of my Colourpop collection but that's for later days. Now to see the goodies I got!

Now for an Overview of what everything is. I got 2 shadows, 2 lippie stix, 2 lippie pencils and 2 of their new liquid lipsticks. They have blushes, bronzers and highlights on the site as well but in this order I didn't nab any of those. Also there was more to this order but it was presents for a swap i'm doing with a friend so those have to be secret! Everything I purchased retails for $5 except the liquid lipsticks which go for $6.

The Haul-
Eyeshadow In Sequin
Eyeshadow In Envy
Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick In Bumble
Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick In Clueless
Lippie Pencil In Poison
Lippie Stix In Poison
Lippie Pencil In Grunge
Lippie Stix In Grunge

Now I have used in the past the pencils, lipsticks and shadows. The only thing I haven't tried yet from this brand is actually the liquid lipsticks. But knowing Colourpop I think they will be epic, though I will keep you posted. Their price point is just so amazing, even if you only wanted to try one thing from every section, its so worth the price. Do bear in mind their cheek products run about $8 but they are significantly bigger then the shadows and soooo nice. I really cant say one bad thing about this brand. To be totally candid I already have more things in my cart. The lippie pencils and stix are both from their 90's collection, and they had a shadow in that collection I wanted so badly. Unfortunatly it is sold out. But when its back in stock Stereo is so worth a gander, its so beautiful in swatches on the site.

Have you guys given into the Colourpop craze yet? Any colors I absolutely need in my life? Leave recommendations for me and each other down below!

Mean Girls Book Tag!

Friday, September 11, 2015

Yes, you are not mistaken, this is possibly the BEST tag I have ever come across! Of course I wasnt tagged, I know shocking right? But no really I saw this on youtube and was so anxious to do this sucker for myself. This tag was created by Sarah over at The Book Life and shes just a genius, im putting that out there. So lets get to whats gonna be some gif heavy questions!

1) "It’s pronounced like Cady” - Which fictional character’s names did you get completely wrong? For me this is hands down Hermione Granger. As a kid I said her name like Her-moan, and im not sure why that seemed so right. I grew up with the books as they came out and there was no movies to correct me and no google to check it on so yea... I was way way off.

2)“She doesn’t even go here!” - Which character would you like to place in a fictional world from another book or series? I was torn on if torturing a bad character was best served here or rewarding a good one? But im going to go with Elias from An Ember In The Ashes... I loved him so and his world sucked so hard and he would have just been great as like one or Robin Hoods men. So id like to send him to Sherwood Forest and let him be a merry bandit.... Yes I like that one.

3)“On Wednesdays we wear pink!” - Repetition. Repetition. Which book gave you dejavu of another book whilst reading it? I feel like any dystopian at this point gives me similar vibes. Lots of the same feels, but then thats why I seek those types of books out so there is that?

4)"You all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it okay for guys to call you sluts and whores." - Which book gave you the complete opposite of girl power feels? I dont really have one for this. I kinda only seek out books with strong female leads. Even when I hate them as a character (*coughs* Katniss) I still can see their strength and how they carry these stories and their worlds. So I am totally out of this answer.

5)“You go Glen Coco!” - Name a character you felt like you wanted to cheer on whilst reading. RUFUS MERLE!!! From The Sons Of Thestian. He was my baby from like page three and I needed him to be ok, and overcome all the crap he had to deal with... im his flippin champion and he just needs to win at all of life.

6)“Get in loser, we’re going shopping!” How long do you typically spend at a book shop? Now this is a tough one! Do you remember when borders closed down? Yea thats the last time I have lived close enough to a book store to go in and really shop. So I do most of time shopping online... and I wont lie I can spend hours doing just that. But given the chance I can browse a bookstore for hours and not feel bad about it. I love it, there no better feeling them rooting around through thousands of books for something special just for you.

7)“It’s not my fault you’re like in love with me or something!” - Which character would have to get out a restraining order on you, if they were real? Shane Baxter AKA Bax, from Better When Hes Bad..... just give me a minute. I have a thing for the bad boy. Theres only two nice guys in my life I love the rest are those assholes you cant help but love. Its my type and im so aware of it. And Bax grew up rough, hes had a hard life and he doesnt say sorry for doing what he has to and being who he is. Now hes also not the type to call the cops so I wouldnt get a record from this but yes, just all the yes.

8)“I can’t help it that I’m popular.” - Which overhyped book were you cautious about reading? Throne of Glass... and im still kinda hesitant to start. I also think the covers are just ugly so if I did read the I think it would be on the kindle. But the hype is so strong I dont know that I could go there just yet.

9)“She’s a life ruiner. She ruins peoples lives.” - We all love Regina George. Name a villian you just love to hate. ARLEN ZACHARY! Again from The Sons Of Thestian. Hes showcased as the guy doing some not so cool things right off in this book and im just like not cool. But also im like I love you, and want to protect you, your snarky and precious.... see my type is showing again.

10)“I’m not like a regular Mom, I’m a cool Mom.” - Your favourite fictional parents. The Weasleys.... and I need to know in all seriousness has anyone said any different to this question?? Though honorable mention to Torin and Nora Merle for making the amazing Rufus Merle all he was... thank you for that you awesome fictional parents you.

11)“That is so Fetch!” - Which book or series would you love to catch on? The Sons of Thestian! Seriously people its a must read. I have every intention of preordering the second book the second I can... like I need it in my life. I have an unspoilery review up of it here and it is just so worth the read! Im in love if you couldn't tell.

12)“How do I even begin to explain Regina George?” - Describe your ideal character to read about. I love the smart girl who knows shes smart and is not afraid to show it! Yes kick some ass, take all the names. Save the world with your bad self. Be flawed and vulnerable and epic, be it all and I love you so much for being an amazing hot mess with a brain and smart mouth to match.

13)“I just have a lot of feelings.” - What do you do when a book gives you a bad case of ‘the feels’? List time! The Sons Of Thestian, Harry Potter but especially Order Of The Phoenix, An Ember In The Ashes, Clipped Wings, Clockwork Princess, The Vampire Academy (I dont remember which book but the one where the thing happens to Demetri... ugh, cried people I cried)

14)“Nice wig Janice, what’s it made of?” "Your Mom’s chest hair!” - Which characters one liners would you love to claim for your own? Will Herondale.... One of the many reasons hes one of my book boyfriends... hes just that good.

15)“Boo, you whore.” - Name a time a characters decision has made you roll your eyes Tris mother-effin Prior.... OH MY GOD never has a person in a book made me more mad with their poor life decisions.... just no Tris, no.

That is it for the means girls book tag! I enjoyed that i think way more then I should have. I tag anyoe who fancies doing this tag, on tumblr, youtube or your own blogs, I think its an epic tag and soooo much fun! If anyone does their own please leave the links below so I can check out your answers as well!

The Force Awakens.... With Makeup? CoverGirl x Star Wars Collection!

Wednesday, September 9, 2015

There is one thing every nerd girl loves. And thats the mixture of two of her obsessions. So for every girl who loves to cosplay, has decided they were born in the wrong universe far far away, or simply like me thought they should be the one to marry Han Solo, do I have some exciting news for you?! CoverGirl is working with Star Wars to drop a new cosmetics line, in just a couple weeks and just in time for everyone to get glammed up to head out to see The Force Awakens this December!

I know, exciting right? The line, which in part is available for preorder now on the Covergirl website will be up for sale everywhere later this month. It will feature six polishes, 6 lipsticks in corresponding colors and 10 mascaras. The nail polishes are all named something catchy and fitting for the universe like Speed of Light and Nuclear. The lipsticks less exciting in name with just the color name to go by BUT having this amazing metallic element to each shade. Both reminiscent of the 90's and totally futuristic all at once. (Or if you're like me that made you think of the 5th Element... hello nostalgia!)

The mascaras are technically only two formulas, their super sizer mascara in regular or waterproof. But they will come with an assortment of catch phrases from the franchise like, “Luminous beings are we.” or “Immune to the light.” Each the dark and the light side of the force get five quotes so simply from a collecting standpoint epic!

While the exact date they will be available in all stores still hasn't dropped I would keep my eye out for these because other limited edition collections like this have been hard to find, im talking to you Hunger Games. For anyone looking for more information you check out these links...

STAR WARS LIMITED EDITION OUTLAST NAIL POLISH
STAR WARS LIMITED EDITION COLORLICIOUS LIPSTICK
STAR WARS LIMITED EDITION SUPER SIZER DARK SIDE MASCARA
STAR WARS LIMITED EDITION SUPER SIZER WATERPROOF LIGHT SIDE MASCARA

Is anyone else hella excited?
