Beauty Blogging

Hey guys-

Just wanted to give you the names of a few blogs I am constantly checking.

www.makeupandbeautyblog.com

Reviews and tips galore! There are sooo many posts, I love this blog.

Found this through the makeup and beauty blog (there are guest posts sometimes), I love a change of perspective on makeup. A male high-school makeup artist. Interesting, right?

A YouTube guru who is adorable and funny. Plus she knows her stuff! Good combination.

My favorite YouTube guru. I wish she posted more often. I love her videos. Her blog is less beauty, more her life. I'll be posting about her recent blogsale in the near future.

She's pregnant, and hasn't posted for a while. But I love her!

I am a new reader of Lauren's blog, but I love it so far. She is a MAC addict (to be fair, she's a makeup artist) and absolutely stunning. She is also the one and only follower of this blog, hehe.

I hope I become one of your favorite bloggers!

P.S. Leave me a comment about what beauty blogs you check, or your fave YouTube gurus.

Blogsale Haul

Okay everyone- one of my favorite YouTube gurus everrr is saaammage. She is funny, talented, and rambly. Those are three things I look for in a beauty guru. So when I saw that she was having a blogsale, I jumped on the opportunity to purchase a few of her gently used beauty products. In her favorite nail polishes of winter video, she wrote about how much she loved Essie's Very Cranberry. She was selling it for $4, and I decided to give it a spin. I am in love with the color, it is absolutely beautiful, however I hate the polish. I applied it with a Sally Hansen base coat, but was probably too lazy or too late to something for a topcoat. It starts chipping and peeling very quickly. About a week into wearing it I finally got fed up. I thought Essie was supposed to be very nice quality... I've seen it at salons and even J. Crew! Did I get a dud? Am I doing something wrong? Is this just very high maintenance polish? I love the color and the thin formula is easy to apply, but apparently has no staying power. I also purchased an ELF 6-shadow palette in Smoky. Beautiful pigmentation, I reaaaally want some ELF of my own. I love the color on the top right... Hard to describe... A dark smokey greenish blue. I don't know. <3
