Au Natural: Banana

(thanks to google.com)

For very dry or damaged hair

1 banana
2-3 dollops of mayonnaise
1 tbls of olive oil

Put banana in blender and puree until completely smooth. (Whatever you do make sure you puree it the first time I skipped this part and I had clumps of banana in my hair which sucked, so make sure you get the banana mixture completely smooth you really don't want clumps of banana in your hair.

The great thing about this recipe is that even if you do mess up and get clumps in your hair it's just banana and a second rinse or mash will get it out.

Then add mayo and oil and blend until smooth and creamy. Apply to hair. Let sit for 15-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and shampoo as usual.

This Banana Hair mask will make your hair so moist and smooth you'll think you suddenly have a completely new head of hair. It's a must try.

Comparing: Pretty Baby Beauty Powder

Angel: a pale pink
Pretty Baby: Soft sunny pink with gold

Overall: Angel is much more pronounce, because it's a matte blush, but both gives off the same effect to me (The "Brightener" effect that is), but very differently. Blushes/Powders like these looks so lovely on the Warm skin(and I'm sure cool skin)!! Don't be scared of the swatches you may see on your hand. Just know it would look so different when swatched on warm cheeks. Just pack a few layers on with the 129 (after you applied your fav. foundation). (keep reading...)

best advice you've ever been given regarding beauty and makeup? the meaning of "FIX+" it! lol

Swatches:"Fashion Mews & Pretty Please" l/s

Pretty Please: Pearled Pale Pink
Fashion Mews: a pale lavender

Before the HK line came out I though I had a pale pinkish lavender lipstick (yes I know lol). So, I swatched it to compare it(knowing it wasn't going to be the same just wanted to "wow" myself lol). Big Freaking difference. (keep reading...)

Comparing: Gentle Coral TLC to Glosspitality

Gentle Coral: soft coral
Glosspitality: sassy orange-coral without pearl or sparkle




Overall: There both produce the same coloring, but if your looking for something like the "creme sheen" lipgloss. Go with the "Lipgelle", but if you need something with "SPF" than go with the TLC. ( keep reading...)

Comparing:Cute-Ster Lipstick

Shy Girl: Creamy neutral coral beige
Pleasureseeker: Creamy peach
Cute-Ster: Sheer peachy pink with pearl

Overall: The only difference is that "Cute-Ster" has a gold shimmer to it.

Comparing: Tippy Beauty Powder Blush

Peony Shimmerbrick: shimmery bright pink
Desirous: Bright coral with gold pearls
Tippy: candy pink
Dollymix: Pure candy pink
Petalpoint: light bright pink with silvery frost



Overall: Add a little bit of dollymix to petalppoint you create "tippy".

MAC - Mini Haul

I'm no longer the ownder of the Sculpt Foundation (it was love at first coverage, but I broke out and others started mentioning breaking out ..so yeah not going crazy). I ended up switching it for the two lippies (Fashion Mews and Cute-ster).

I ended up, getting the "tahitian sand" beauty powder, because I'm sooo in love with "pretty baby". Seriously ladies it show on my skintone (gave me a nice soft bright effect). I used my mini #129 brush ...so = love!

I also got the "gentle coral" TLC, because I just wanted a coral lip conditioner..I'm kind of iffy with coral, but since it will be sheer I thought I'd give it a try.

I got suckered in to getting the "ever so rich" l/g, but oh well :)

Tippy...I heard about it...dreamt about it..now I got it!! <33

So, Basically I kept my first words and got what I really wanted which was both beauty powder blushes, both tinted lip conditioner and both beauty powders.

WOW: Made it on the "Dean's List" and 2 HK Invite

Ok blessed I check my mail, because not only did I find out that I made it on the "Dean's List" for my Fall semester of 2008, and I only mention this, because if it wasn't for this freaking letter I wouldn't of checked my MAIL!!! (Thank gosh I did. I need to add my guest to the list to attend the reception, because I was going to miss this event too!!)...

and I didn't even get to go to one!!...I never checked my mail pile lol.

Did you get to attend the HK event?

requested swatches

MAC Hello Kitty: Pink Fish to Petting Pink

Pink Fish: Soft neutral pink
Petting Pink: a natural pink






VG1 Special Edition: pink mauve


Overall:
I asked myself if I needed "Pink Fish" since I have "Petting Pink". As you can see the difference in coloring I needed it, but I also have VVG1 Special Edition LG which do looks like it (minus the hint of sparkles). If you never tried a TLC heres your chance. They so = love!

Comparing: Fun and Games Beauty Powder Blush

Fleurry: Soft peachy pink (Frost)
Joyous: Peach with gold pearl (Satin)
Style: Coral-peach with gold pearl (Frost)
Springsheen: Peach with pearl (Sheertone Shimmer)
Fun & Games: Soft orange peach
Spaced Out: Duo Chrome Shimmery Peach

MAC Hello Kitty: Fun & Games to Spaced Out

Fun and Games: looks more warmer
Spaced Out: looks more cooler





Fun and Games: glitter
Spaced Out: sheen


Fun and Games: as you can see here "Fun and Games: has more of a "orange" glitter cast to it.
Spaced Out: here "Spaced out" has an opalescent duo chrome sheen to it.

Overall: In person I can see how the two looks very much similar, but as you can see here no MAC product is alike. When I went to pick this blush up ...one of the MA loved my blush (I was wearing "Spaced Out").
