Hello lovelies, Today I wanted to post a few pictures of a highlighter palette I ordered online. This palette is called the Lemonade Highlighter Palette and its by Lena Lashes. It has 4 different highlighters. It was only $10! It came out to $15 with S&H. I also took some pictures of some swatches! It looks very promising and so pretty :) If you're interested you can get it on their website at LenaLashes.Com Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @ ConnieAvla for more makeup posts!

Hello lovelies! Today I wanted to post a quick baby update. My son Leon just turned 3 months old last Friday (the 19th) He's been babbling and a lot more playful. Unfortunately for me he still doesn't sleep through the night. He has silent reflux and a pretty bad startle reflex. I believe those things contribute to him getting only hours of sleep at a time. He weighs around 14lbs right now and is only getting heavier! The last couple of weeks were a struggle, I'm not going to lie, I thought I was going to lose my mind. He went to get his shots, was fussy because of that, after that he went through a growth spurt, was extra fussy because of that as well. Not to mention I also had an ER scare. One night he was screaming bloody murder and nothing would calm him, so I decided to take him to the ER. You can hear all about that on one of my videos on my YouTube channel.. www.youtube.com/conaviconavi Anyways, now weeks later it finally seems like he...

Hi lovelies! Today I wanted to let you all know about INFLUENSTER! Influenster is a website that lets you review full sized samples for FREE. All you have to do is join, connect your social media accounts, and then wait. It's not guaranteed that you'll get a box of samples every month but if you do get chosen you'll get sent a box in the mail with free samples! The more social media accounts you connect + the more "audience" (followers) you have the better your chances. I've been a member for about a year now and I've gotten plenty of free makeup/beauty samples. Here is the most recent box I got sent. I got 6 L'oreal makeup products. This was their L'oreal Voluminous Voxbox. Ive seen them have boxes from KatVonD Beauty, Hourglass, Lancome, etc. I didn't get the chance to try those but I'm still happy with the boxes that I have received. Who doesn't like free makeup/beauty products???...

Hello lovelies, Today I wanted to share a few things I got from the drugstore recently. Here is my drugstore makeup haul! I saw these Rimmel London lipsticks on sale for buy one get one 50% off. I picked up these two. These are from the Kate nude collection. They don't have names but the one on the left is number 48 and the one on the right is number 45. Below are swatches. I wore 45 today and I LOVED the way it looks. They also have a sweet smell to them. Next I picked up this Rimmel concealer.  I read somewhere that it's a dupe for the YSL concealer. I thought it was worth a try. I still haven't worn it but I plan to soon! I also picked up some Ardell demi wispies!  These are just so pretty and natural looking :) Next I picked up this Tattoo Junkee Lip paint. Ive seen other people try these out and was curious to try them for myself. It says its long lasting, dries matte, and is smudge proof. ...

Hello loves. I recently made a trip to the drugstore and took a look at the new makeup displays. I came across this new lip palette by L'oreal. It's called Colour riche "La palette/Lip" It has 8 lip colors. 2 are matte, 5 are cream, and 1 is a highlight. The palette I got is in the shade "03 NUDE" They also have one with different shades of pink and another with different shades of red I believe. Here are pictures and swatches! The highlight shade is the last one all the way at the bottom. It's very pretty. I don't exactly remember the price of the palette. I believe it was around $10-$15 I got mine at Walgreens. P.S. It also comes with a lip brush. I haven't tried any of the colors on my lips yet but I plan to very soon! Once I do I'll be posting lip swatches on my Instagram! My Instagram is : LoveXConnie That's going to be all for this post! I'll have another new...

Hi lovelies! Yesterday I posted a drugstore makeup haul. I got one of the new WetNWild metallic lipsticks! Today I decided to try it out. Here is my lip swatch and hand swatch of the lipstick. The lipstick isn't drying it actually feels nice when you apply it. Its not very long lasting though but I expected that even though it says its a liquid lipstick. Overall I like it, and I like the way it looks. I'm not sure if I'll be purchasing any more colors though. This was the only color that caught my attention. Here is a short video clip of the swatch. Thats it for my thoughts and swatch on the new WNW metallic liquid lipstick! These aren't as hard to find as their new highlighters. I found mine at Walgreens but I've also seen them at Rite Aid! Thanks for reading! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @BeautyWithConnie xoxo

I was looking for the new WetNWild highlighters and the new Milani metallic liquid lipsticks but didn't really have any luck!   I only managed to get one new cream highlight, and one metallic lipstick from WNW and one metallic liquid lipstick from Milani.  Everything else was sold out!  What I got: WetNWild metallic lipstick, cream highlight, contour brush, and 2 gel nail polishes. Covergirl - Katy Kat Matte lipstick. Milani Amore Mattalics liquid lipstick. ELF contour brush. Jordana lip liner.  Can't wait to swatch everything and start using it! Here is a picture of everything. I'll be posting swatches/reviews here soon! Follow me on Instagram: @BeautyWithConnie xoxo

Hello lovelies! Today I've decided to start a new thing on my blog. My "Friday Favorites" or Favorite. Basically every Friday I'll be posting some of my favorite products or just one product that I've been loving that week. I've decided to start doing that today! Here are my Friday favorites this week! BHCosmetics Carli Bybel palette: I have been obsessed with this palette since the moment I got it in the mail! All of the eyeshadows and highlights are really pigmented and beautiful. It's the perfect every day palette and it has a nice, big mirror! Not to mention it was only $12.50! so affordable! Stila stay all day waterproof liquid eyeliner: I had this in my stash and kept ignoring it because I wanted to save it only for special occasions. However, recently I started using it more and I love it! It goes on really easily and dries quickly. It lasts a really long time on the eyes. Perfect for that winged eyeliner! It's a...

Hello lovelies! Today I wanted to share with you my GENDER REVEAL video! I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and just recently revealed the gender of my baby to my family and to my fiances family. Here is the video. Thanks for watching!

Hello loves! I decided I would start posting pictures of my "MOTD's" a.k.a. Makeup Of The Day pictures. So here is my most recent. On this day I went with an easy brown eye and some bold red/orange lips. No falsies and no eyeliner.  Here are details of everything I used: For my foundation I used Maybelline's Fit Me concealer all over and then added the Bare Minerals original powder foundation. I set my under eyes with the WetNWild contour palette in "Caramel Toffee" The highlight side. I added the Rimmel Scandal Eyes eyeliner in NUDE to my water line. For my eyeshadow I used the WetNWild Milano eyeshadow palette and just applied the brown color on my crease and outer corner. Then I used L'oreal voluminous mascara and curled my lashes. For eyebrows I used a Maybelline eyebrow pencil. For my contour I used the Rimmel contour palette which I've been obsessed with! And finally, on my lips I used t...

Hello lovelies! Today I wanted to share an eyeshadow palette I just bought a few days ago. I went to Walmart and found one of the new WetNWild AU NATUREL eyeshadow palettes. This one is called "Nude Awakening" It cost me $5.96 + tax Here is what the palette looks like. The palette has 10 eyeshadow colors. I was a bit disappointed when I saw that it doesn't come with a brush. Especially since my other WetNWild palette does and it's around the same price. It has many every day colors. Here are swatches with NO FILTER on my arm. I ran out of space on my arm so I swatched the black color at the top instead of all the way at the bottom. My favorite shades are the 3 shimmer shades in the middle, the black, and the brown burgundy color. That's only as my first impression. I look forward to trying them on my eyes. I'd say for the price it's a pretty good deal. Especially if you're a begin...

Hello lovelies! Today I wanted to post a FLASHBACK FRIDAY video. This is a video I did last summer when I dyed my hair blonde at home, by myself! I decided to go blonde last year and I wanted to do it myself to save some money and also so that if it went wrong, I'd only have myself to blame lol. I bleached my hair a few times using a few things from Sally's. Then after bleaching it and waiting, bleaching and waiting, I wanted it to be a bit more frosty. So I decided to add this Wella 12A Frosty Ash Blonde to it. I actually LOVED the results. Here is the video of me dyeing my hair at home! If you have any questions feel free to ask! Also please thumbs up the video and subscribe to my YouTube channel! xo -C

Hi lovelies, It's been a while since my last post. I bought a few things from the drugstore the other day so I thought I'd post about them here. First i'll start with the Jordana "sweet cream matte lip color" lipsticks. These are the whole reason I went to the drugstore. I only managed to find 2 colors out of the 4 I was looking for. Here they are and swatches. P.S. They were only $2.99! The purple color is called "Mixed berry soufflé " The orange/red color is called "Mango sorbet" These are pretty good for the price. They do have a strong scent to them when applying. It smells kind of like play-doh to me lol. They're definitely matte and actually a bit difficult to remove (if you're using makeup wipes like I did) They also leave a stain on the lips. Overall I like them though, I'm currently on the hunt for 2 of the more "natural" colors. OK. Next I bought one of th...
