J.Cat Wonder Lip Paint Vs. OCC Lip Tar.....possible dupe?

Happy Tuesday!! Did you watch the Grammy's? They were okay this year but had some good performances and I enjoyed watching the Red Carpet. Today I will be comparing J.Cat Wonder Lip Paint to OCC Lip Tars. Let's get into the reviews. I had the idea to do this post when I received the J.Cat Lip Paint in an Ipsy one month. I wondered if it could be a possible dupe to the popular OCC Lip Tars. It took me a while to get this post going because I don't reach for those lip products as much. Price Obviously J.Cat is much less than OCC. The Wonder Lip Paints are 4.99 and the Lip Tars are 18.00. Anyone on a budget would go for the Lip Paints over the Lip Tars. Are you paying for the better quality going the frugal route? I would honestly pay for both but love to catch the Lip Tars at makeup shows because they are offered at a discount. OCC has way more colors and finishes to offer than J.Cat. I couldn't tell by the website if all the Lip Paints have a matte or glossy fi...

Lip Product Reviews

I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend. Can't believe it has gone by so fast. This post is going to be on a few lip products that I have been using over the past few months. MAC Mineralize Rich Lipsticks in Good Taste and Bold Spring Good Taste(L) and Bold Spring(R) If you have been reading my blog for a while, you should know how much I love MAC lol. I got these when they first came out. I was in the mood for different colors to wear and I tried on all of the mineralize rich lipsticks and decided on these two. They go on very smooth and are very moisturizing. I love how pigmented and vibrant the colors are. They do have a pretty good wear time and do not dry your lips out. Here are the swatches of both colors. Riri Hearts MAC Pleasure Bomb Lipstick I was so lucky to get my hands on this lipstick. I missed all the other lipsticks I wanted from this collection because they sold out so fast. It was say after this installment of her collection came out...

Updated Skincare Regimen- July 2014

Hey guys!! Back in January I updated everyone on what I was currently using on my skin and you can see that post  HERE!  Since then I have changed my skincare routine and just wanted to give an update. Daytime Cleanser- L'Oreal Ideal Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser - This bottle is almost empty but I have been loving this cleanser in the morning. I may try something else since its so hot now. I'm open to suggestions!! Toner- Apple Cider Vinegar - Still using this as a toner. I just love it and I also use this in my hair. Eye Cream- Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel - I'm going to use this until I'm out. It does help with puffiness in the mornings but I need to be using something for anti-aging soon. Sunscreen- L'Oreal Sublime Sun - I am on my second bottle of this and really love it. Its not too greasy on my face and doesn't make it oily. Moisturizer- Korres Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer - I purchased this a few months ago and just love...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post  here.  I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...
