Review: Ulta double Duty Concealer & Dark Circle Treatment

Hello!  Ulta was having a buy one get one free sale and I have been looking for a few things and I was at the face section and I saw this and was intrigued. This is a concealer and dark circle treatment and I'm always out on the look  for products that could potentially save me from my dark circles
This is a light to medium coverage concealer. I wasn't overtly impressed with the coverage, it covered my dark circles but it wasn't amazing. 
I hate the packaging! At first I thought I was going to love the roller ball application but for this concealer it is the worst thing Ulta could have thought of. The roller ball doesn't move unless you press super hard. That pulls on the skin and doesn't even roll out evenly. The packaging says to glide on the skin, its more like an un-moving marble tugging on your under eye skin. Not very comfortable.  Extremely patchy and barely any product comes out at all. The consistency is too thick to roll and can't be used that way.


I de-potted the concealer in to a little pot thinking I would use the product as a regular concealer but honestly I don't go out of my way to grab this product for under eye concealing. It does the job but I have other concealers that packaging actually work and perform better.
My vote: not worth it!

Urban Lights





Hello pretty people!
I have found my parka jacket at last! I have been searching for this style of jacket for a long time. I was never ready to pay the hefty price tag some of these jackets go for but! Cotton On, my soon to become my favorite store had this jacket for $40 and I was like "hallelujah!!!"  finally it's in my price range. I'm so glad I found it. I have been wearing it none stop. This is hands down my most versatile jacket. I took a trip to the LACMA museum for fun and I wanted to be warm yet comfy. My graphic tee and beanie are a must and I'm really into tights and shorts again so that is a normal recurrence in my outfits nowadays. 
The museum has so many cool structures and exhibits. A great place to spend the day, plus its near the Grove and they have really good restaurants near by!
Have a great day friends:)

Vampire Vixen





Hello beautiful people! I just came back from my friends Debut. She had a beautiful silver and black themed party in her own beautiful home. Her entire house was completely decorated, filled with food, desserts, a punch fountain, dj, photographers, and a photo booth! I know my outfit isn't completely silver and black, but I didn't pack any silver clothes. I recently bought this new red velvet skirt and it was the nicest thing I had. I mixed it with a black cami and the only silver jewelry I had. A simple silver stone necklace and a silver spiked headband.
I really like this outfit, I felt like a sexy vampire with the rice color of the skirt and the silver jewelry I had a great time filled with friends, food and fun.
Sorry for the quality of the photos, I forgot my camera and had to use an Iphone5 with flash :(

Sweater Weather





The cold is here! I got to wear my new sweater cardigan I got on sale at Aeropostale. This sweater was so warm and cozy. With the scarf and boots, it finally feels like fall. Here in So-cal were cold weather is rare and  I will take any opportunity to layer and wear my sweaters, scarves and jackets. This particular day the morning was freezing and foggy. My thick cardigan and scarf kept me very warm, but by mid-day I had to take off everything it was just to hot. That's so-cal for you, I hope everyone is having an awesome day! Till next time!

Army Fringe









Hi Everyone! Cotton On was having a great sale and I found this mens shirt for $5 I loved the graphic print so I bought it and I turned it into a DIY project. I cut the bottom up to create fringe. It adds texture and visual interest. Even though it is fall time and it is getting chiller each day, which by the way I am LOVEING, I will still wear my favorite white shorts. I can break out my favorite jackets and boots to add layers and  layers of clothes. That makes dressing up so much fun!
Hope everyone is enjoying this fabulous weather as much as me.
