Mystic Tan

I totally love the mystic tan...for one because I'm pregnant and I can't do a regular tan (which I LOVE even though I know it's horrible for my skin)... and it really does give a nice glow. I went to a new salon where they have the new high tec Mystic and I nearly choked from trying to hold my breath because the spray was soooo strong and I didn't think that was very heathly for my unborn baby. I'm pleased with the color however I wore these little booties (I've never tried them before) because I just got my toes done and I didn't want an orange french mani!
Well.. here is how my feet turned out.. not so pretty! LOL But hey...at least I know I got some color!! Ha ha

Nice tan lines...NOT!!

My CG Trio

This is the same ole eye I've been doing since 2001... of course I do switch it up but on lazy days without a doubt this never fails and it's so easy and fast! It's my HG covergirl Shimmering SAnds Trio! I use the lightest color all over my eye and the darkest in the trio at my crease...and that's it!



This last pic is a pretty natural make-up. I used the CG Trio, Bare Minerals in Medium Beige, MAC lipglass lipgel in slicked pink, MAC blush in Gingerly, DIORSHOW mascara, dark brown eyeliner (not sure the brand)...and that's it!

I'm offically addicted! I first started going there to read reviews because I hate buying something than getting home and kicking myself... reading the reviews have saved me from buying a lot of things that I probably didn't need in the first place... so reading the reviews are great but what really has got me addicted is the swapping! Whoever thought of this was pure genius! At first I didn't really get and thought using other peoples make-up was kinda gross...than I thought about it... when I got to Sephoras I go crazy and try on everything... and probably 1,000 people have tried on that same blush... so swapping with one person who has something I want but probably shouldn't spend money on makes me VERRYYY happy..all I have to do is clean it well before using and I'm good to go.
So, if you have tons of make-up just sitting around and have a make-up addiction like I do...and get a thrill out of getting new make-up... try swapping!!
Look me up at makeupalley.com SN- sardun
Be prepared to become addicted!

Urban Decay Primer Potion

This stuff is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I don't always believe the hype on things and tend to get disappointed when a product everyone raves about turns out to be bad... but what they say is true... this stuff is great and really works!! I'm sold and I don't think I'll ever wear eye shadow with out it. It goes on really smooth and it's super light... not sticky at all! My eye shadow lasts ALL day long... no touch ups!! I'm in love with this product!!!:)

You don't need a lot of this... just dab a little on your eyes with the wand and with your finger pat it all over your eye lid and browbone. It helps your eyeshadow go on really well and makes it last ALL DAY... seriously!:) It's $16 and I think it's well worth it!

Cheaper Make-up that works amazing!

I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for. If you want a good product you most likely going to have to spend a bit of money. However... there are some exceptions I've found and these few cheaper products are ones I use almost daily!

Covergirl makes the most amazing eyeshadow trio that I've been using since 2001. The colors are very pretty and they go on very smooth. I use Eye enhancers in shimmering sands.
It comes with a dark brown, a lighter taupe (I barely use that one though) and an amazing pinkish/pearl color that I use all over my lid and along my browline for a highlight. It's like $4 from the drugstore... can't beat that!


Bonnie Bell makes an amazing lipgloss called LipLITES in the color/flavor of cappuccino. It's a very pretty nude color. It goes on so smooth and not one bit sticky. By the texture you'd think it would be a $20 lipgloss but it's like $2 or something crazy like that. It looks amazing with a nude lipliner. I've used this since 2006. Seriously... go buy it. You won't regret it!


Jelly Gloss (color 100 Tutti Frutti) by Rimmel London is a great pink gloss. It's very light feeling and not sticky at all. It comes in a small tube but seems to last a lonnnng time!


I adore Garnier products! Everything they make is great. I love their Sleek and Shine products for the hair, the leave in conditioner they make works like magic and even their Skin Renew moisture lotion goes on really nice and is gentle on the skin. Plus...ALL their products smell great!


See...sometimes you don't have to pay a ton of money to get great products!
