Post #4 --- Play 101 Stick - Multi Color BY Etude House

          This product must be one of my go-to's.  My friend actually purchased two of these for me on her trip to Korea and I wasn't expecting it at all!

          SO!  I have two, the first is #12, which is a light pink, and the other is #15, which is orange.  Yep, absolutely orange.  This color has strangely grown on me and I am currently wearing it!
          The Play 101 Stick has a 4 star review.  It comes in blushes, foundations, primer, highlighter, contour colors and more (even in eye shadow colors and sizes).
          Each stick is $14.40, but is currently on sale for #10.08 (I am not sure how long it will be on sale for).   Keep in mind that these are creams, and should be applied a little differently to powder blushes and what not.  They glide on and are super easy to use.  I personally use a beauty blender to blend out the product, which works perfectly.  They are super easy to blend, and are easy to build up in color if wanted.  The product lasts really long, I have not noticed any oxidization and is as vibrant 10 hours later as when you put the product on!  I will be buying more soon, but I am still debating what colors to purchase.


Below is a video BY Etude House on how to apply these lovely products.

Post #2 ---> "New Nudes Sheer Gel Lipstick" by Marc Jacobs Beauty

          Although this is an older purchase, I had to share it as this product has got to be either my favorite or next to my favorite.  I purchased this lipstick in the color "Understudy", 114, or "Terracotta Pink".  This is a beautiful color, and for me it is very close to my natural lip color.  The lipstick is pigmented but not too extremely.  I find that it is perfect for a fancy dinner, work, daily basis, and pretty much everything in between.  It is a more gel texture, but will not give the strong glossy look that lipgloss gives( I am not exactly a fan of, as it reminds me of the 90's).   I will be buying another one and hopefully some in different colors as well.  

On Sephora it has just over a 4 star rating from 201 reviews, and here is a link to the product:

          Marc Jacobs also makes a matching "Poutliner Longwear Lip Liner Pencil".  I, unfortunately, do not own this product, but hope to soon.

The lipstick is priced at $30.00 and the lip liner is priced at $24.00.

Post #1 ---> Introduction

Hey everyone!!! 


           I'm Andrea, and I'm sort of new to the blogging life... BUT people have been getting on to me to start reviewing all the makeup I have purchased and talking about how I choose products and if I feel that they are worth the price.  
          So a bit of background info, I'm 18 years old and a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh.  For the first time this year I received a VIB rouge card from Sephora, which in all honesty made my life feel worth living!  I am completely and utterly addicted to makeup, from shopping to using.  For me, I feel like makeup helps me relieve stress as I am in control of the brush and the sponge!

Thanks for joining me on my makeup and blogging adventure!
