Haulage! First of 2015

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted a haul and since I've been slowing building up a collection of products that I've purchased, I figured I'll do a combined haul post for you all.

Eyes:

L'Oreal Infallible 24HR Eyeshadow

 I can not lie, I am obsessed with the L'Oreal Infallible 24hr Eyeshadows... I now own 6 and continuing to slowly develop my collection of these. The latest addition to my collection are Golden Sage (333) and Midnight Blue (889). My only wish was that Trinidad got the limited edition shadows collections that come out ever so often with this line...Burst into Bloom I will find you (T_T). Excuse my melodrama, I adore the feel of these eyeshadows, they're buttery but not powdery, basically like a pressed pigment. They are easy to blend and when applied with your finger, which is my preferred method of application, the colour payoff is freaking ridiculous! I have included swatches below, and I kid you not when I say I just touched my fingers to the product, no swirling my finger around the eyeshadow, just touching.

 Maybelline Color Tattoo 100 Caramel Cool
 I was lucky enough to grab the last one of this shade at SuperPharm recently, and I do believe this will soon become my new go-to everyday eyeshadow. It is beautiful. It's a metallic warm copper brown, and it blends like a dream. I believe this was part of the 2014 Spring collection from Maybelline and it's only now available in Trinidad.

Rimmel ScandalEyes Liquid Eyeshadow 019 Pomegranate
It's a liquid eyeshadow. It's not a eyeshadow base, nor does it have the consistency to be an eyeshadow base. I haven't yet tested the longevity of this product on the eyes, but the colour is gorgeous. I absolutely love red/cranberry shades on the eyes, so I'm really excited to wear this in the upcoming weeks.

Lips:
Maybelline Color Sensational Matte Lipstick in 660 Touch of Spice
This colour is gorgeous! It's soft and creamy and glides onto the lips. The best part is, it does not dry out the lips! Oh and it smells like a vanilla cream cupcake....YES!

I have some more products that I'd like to share with you, particularly some new brushes I've been trying out, so be on the lookout for that.
Side note, this week, Trinidad and Tobago is in full swing Carnival 2015 mode. If you're going to be out on the road, please be safe, we know how crazy the roads get around this time. If you're playing mas this year, I hope you have fun on the streets, and again be safe.
If you're not from Trinidad and Tobago and you won't be taking part in Trinidad Carnival, I hope you all have a fun and safe weekend and upcoming week.
I shall see you lovelies next Friday, with a new post.
Bye (^_^)/

Itsy Bitsy Haul for July

Hello all!
I was supposed to post this haul last week but life happened. Better late than never, right?!

 

 

 

 

July Haul 

 I picked up a few Jordana nail polishes, and yes the black, red and yellow I bought specifically for the World Cup Final (Deutschland!!) and the blue and bright coral-pink were mainly impulse buys. Starting from the left, the nail polishes from Jordana are;

1.  Black 
2. Holiday Red
3. Mellow Yellow
4. Strawberry Marmalade
5. Sapphire

The coral-pink is Strawberry Marmalade and it is beautiful on the nails. It's very "summery' and if you have a tan, you'll love it! I'm quite impressed by the Jordana polishes, they're very smooth and opaque with just one coat, but I usually do two coats anyway.

I also picked up the L'Oreal Youth Code Serum. This is a staple in my skin care arsenal. It really helped fade my hyper-pigmentation/ post breakout dark spots, which let's face it everyone hates.

Now, I have stretch marks and I'm not ashamed to say it. I've been working out more and losing fat (I hate the phrase losing weight!), so I have more stretch marks and I've heard that Bio-Oil was pretty good at fading them, so I picked up the small size just to test it out for myself.  

L.A Girl Glossy Lips lipglosses. I bought 3, kept 1 for myself and gave 2 to my friend as part of a gift. They are sheer lipglosses, with a brush tip applicator. At first it feels quite sticky, but not uncomfortable. Usually sticky glosses last longer on the lips but I haven't worn this lip gloss for a substantial amount of time, so in terms of wear time I can't give an accurate estimation. The shade I kept for myself is a deep red called Caramel Apple, it has no shimmer or sparkle.

July Haul - Avon

Finally, my small order of Avon lipglosses came. I bought 2 for myself and 2 for my mom because we bought love Avon lippies, in fact Avon makeup is one of my definite favourites in general. I purchased the shades, starting from the left;

1. Rich Raspberry
2. Palm Beach Pink
3. Darling Pink
4. Fuchsia Frenzy

I kept Rich Raspberry and Palm Beach Pink for myself and Palm Beach Pink has not left my bag since I bought it. It's perfect to just throw on with you're in a hurry, it adds a subtle hint of colour to the lips and it isn't super sticky. I'm not a lipgloss girl, I prefer lipsticks but I have been enjoying these Avon lipglosses and I'm sure I'll purchase more in the future.

We've come to the end of my mini-haul. I've been under the weather all week, so I don't know what my next post is going to be or when it will done, but it will happen!
However, until my next post, I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay happy, healthy and positive and I'll see you lovely people again soon.
Bye :)

What's Up #3 : Lil Update

What's up everyone?

It's been over a week since my last post...the World Cup withdrawal is real :'(.
However, it doesn't mean the football drama is over. Both Philipp Lahm and Steven Gerrard announced their retirement from international football </3. Transfer season has been hot with new signings every other day and the rumour mill running overtime. This upcoming season is going to be worth the wait.

Now for some updatey, type things:

1.  I did my last exam as an Undergrad student on the 14th, yay me! Feels odd saying that I completed my degree, 3 years over and done with in the blink of an eye. Now I get to start job hunting :/ , although I've been thinking of doing some makeup/cosmetology courses even some baking/pastry courses since I'm taking a year off before doing my Masters. I still have some decisions to make pertaining to doing my Masters, so I didn't apply immediately for the new semester.
2. I dyed my hair. I've been rocking a deep burgundy colour for a while now and decided that I wanted a change, so I dyed it purple. Yep, purple. It's dark so without sunlight you can barely tell that it's even there which I really enjoy. It's been very gloomy these days in Trinidad (what do I expect it's the bloody rainy season here) so it's been hard to get a good pic of my hair colour but once I do, I'm sure I'll put it up on my Instagram. *Link to my Instagram and other social media things are to the right if you want to follow me ;)
3. Caught a bit of a cold, so I've been under the weather for the past couple of days. I was supposed to post up a small haul this past Sunday but since I haven't been well, I've just been taking it easy, training and breeding my Pokémon (Yes, I play Pokémon!)

I will post my mini haul later on in the week, hopefully by Friday I should post it up. I have a butt ton of blog post ideas that I need to get working on. 

Anywhosie, that's all for this lil update post, I hope you all are happy, healthy and safe. Remember to stay positive and I'll talk to you all soon.
Bye :)

Makeup Haul!!! Collective Haul for June.

My name is Je Line and I am a makeup addict!!! 

I love makeup and especially love buying and trying new products out. Now for a little clarity, I live in Trinidad so most of the drugstore makeup available in the US unfortunately is not available here .....or so I thought. I recently took a trip to Starlite Pharmacy and I won't lie I found my mothership. Elf cosmetics, Rimmel and a few other brands that aren't readily available in Trinidad lined the perimeter of the store....it was love at first sight. 

The eyelashes and eyelash adhesive were purchased at my uncle's variety store. I've never used false lashes before so I didn't want to spend a crap ton of money on them. Each pair cost me $35TT which is cheap here in Trinidad. I'm very excited to try these bad boys out! They are by the brand Sassi.

Next the products I picked up at Starlite.

I've been wanting the Real Techniques Fine Liner brush for ages and I'm super happy that I was finally able to get my hands on it! I also picked up some elf (eyeslipsface)products, the elf Complexion Brush, elf Cream Liner in Plum Purple and elf Single Eyeshadow in Wild Wheat.

Rimmel is finally being imported to Trinidad so I managed to pick up my second Rimmel by Kate lipstick. This shade number of this lipstick is 107.

Rimmel Kate Moss 107

Last but not least, I picked up a Prestige Single Eyeshadow in the shade Golden Retriever. I've heard it's a dupe for MAC's Goldmine but I'm not 100% sure about that.

I found some Rimmel products on a random day out with my parents. Seeing that I already own a couple of the Kate Moss lipsticks I decided I would try some of their eye pencils to see how they work.

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in 230 Deep Ocean
and
Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in 071 Pure White

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog, hopefully I don't get too caught up in the World Cup and post things more regularly but until we meet again stay positive, stay happy and I'll speak to you soon. :)
