Ross Lynch addresses Hate RANT

Hi I'm here today to do a different sort of post. I am going to be posting about Ross Lynch addressing hate on google plus. 

I just want to say he shouldn't have to address his fans about hate because if you were his fans you wouldn't care. You would support him. He's a genuine honest person and he doesn't care what you think about him. Maybe he had at one point but the excessive amount of hate he gets FOR NOTHING, is ridiculous. 
If you don't like him that's fine, keep it to yourself. If you don't like me, more power to you. No one can decide what you like but you. What you can decide is how you portray yourself and portraying yourself hating someone else isn't nice. Doesn't everyone want to be seen as a nice person at some point in their lives? 
Also hiding behind the internet, behind a screen name, behind your hate...that doesn't make you any better of a person.  
   Ross' life is his and he can do with it what he wants, no one knows how much time we have left on the Earth and with what time we have we should enjoy it and do what we love and not focus on the hate. That's exactly what he's doing. 
Loving life, maybe all you haters should try that. 
  He doesn't deserve the hate he gets but it comes with the job. People are judgemental. Even if he parts his hair differently he gets hate. Why?! It's his hair he can do what he wants with it and ITS JUST HAIR PEOPLE! I'm not saying he's a saint but he doesn't deserve the hate served to him. How would you feel if people hated you and judged you without knowing you?
   You'd feel like garbage. I commend Ross and every other actor, actress, preformer, or entertainer in general. BRAVO, because I guarantee the people dishing out this hate..they couldn't handle it themselves. 

I'm going to quote my favorite quote, 
"Everyone wants happiness and no one wants pain, But you can't make a rainbow without a little rain." 

I love that quote because it's true, everyone gets a little rain in their lives, heartbreak, hate, fear, but in the end without that you wouldn't be you and you wouldn't be the amazing beautiful happy person you can become. 

How I want to wrap this up is...If you recieved the same amount of hate Ross gets....how would you feel about it? ...........Exactly, you'd feel like trash, now answer me this.

What can we do about it?

J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paints

Hiya Everyone! I am here today to share my thoughts on the J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paints! I have three of these pictures below and I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color payoff with these it's out of this world!


The three I have are all Alice in wonderland themed. From left to right they are Always Late, rabbit and Underland and Queen of Harts. My favorite of the three would have to be Underland in the middle. It's very wearable but still fun! 

These have a minty/chemical smell mixture but not over powering and once it's on your lips it doesn't smell! I hadn't seen these in stores but I had seen them online. Recently they announced that Ulta carried them! I haven't been there to check but if you are be sure to pick up a few they have a huge range of colors! 

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed! If you have any questions, comments, or video requests please leave them in the comments below!

2nd Love Cosmetics Pout Plumping Lipgloss Review

Hiya! 
I have fallen in love with a new lipgloss these past couple of months and I thought I would share it with you. The lipgloss in question is the 2nd Love Cosmetics Pout Plumping Lipgloss particularly in the shade Love Letter. This is my perfect pinky nude shade on my lips! 


Love Letter is pictured in the middle! 

I love these glosses because they're not too sticky and they still give a flush of color on the lips without being crazy! I love the minty smell and it says they're pout plumping but I don't see much plumping action going on. Maybe that's the 2 seconds of tingle when you put it on but that's about it. Other than that these are amazing lipglosses. They all have doe foot applicators as well if you were wondering. 

If your interested in these check them out on 2ndlovecosmetics.com

KISS Instawave Automatic Hair Curler Review

Hiya Everyone!
I'm here to talk about the KISS Instawave automatic hair curler. This is a strange device because it's not a curling iron and it's not a curling wand. I recieved this from KISS Products and Brandbacker to try out and you can see the demo video on my YouTube channel as well and don't forget to subscribe! Http://YouTube.com/user/lipglossandconverse 

I tried this contraption out, it has a bit of a learning curve when you first use it so take a few minutes to actually learn what your doing or you'll just be a hot mess. I have very long thick hair and I only turned it up to the low hear setting to get my curls pictured below. I also used the Got2b Guardian Angel heat protectant spray before curling my hair but I didn't use any hair spray! 

 

For my hair being hard to curl, this did a great job! I hope you enjoyed this quick blog post! If you have any questions, comments, or YouTube video requests leave them in the comments below! Thanks!

Honeymoon is a peachy pinkish purple shade and sheer but beautiful on the skin. 
 
I love these baked blushes because they are great quality and never disappoint. Do you have any of these blushes? Let me know in the comments below, what are your thoughts on them?

Is this real life? Urban Decay Naked 4

Hiya Everyone!

I hope your all having a good day. I came across the picture below online earlier this morning and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was excited. Is it real?! Sadly we don't know. 


I love the shades and the colors. I'm praying this is real but who knows? 

I did my research and it seems that it's not a legit urban decay product. But, you can still buy it online from China. I won't be doing that because of shadow quality and ingredients but please Urban Decay MAKE THIS PALETTE REALITY!

EBAY Selling Guide: How to Get Products To Sell Online


Hiya Everyone!
This is my third and final installment of my Ebay Selling Guide Series! I hope you enjoy! This selling guide focuses on Promotional Items aka Freebies.

We've all seen promotional items for sale or gift with purchases. Sometimes you buy makeup at Nordstroms and get a limited edition special makeup bag that you only get with that purchase or you get a travel size of an item or a sample size. But a lot of people don't use these items, they sell them.


Pictured above are Two Peter Thomas Roth freebies given out as gifts with purchase when buying skincare! As you can see this seller is selling them as a set for 9.99.

When selling these promotional items be clear in what you are listing. BE SURE TO LIST THE SIZING OF THE PRODUCTS. This is a big one because buyers will come back on you to say the item was falsely advertised. List your product sizing. Like is this a travel size, a sample size, or a full size? 

Also be sure to list if it was a limited edition product or if it was specific to one store for example Macy's, Dillard's, or Nordstrom.

EBAY Selling Guide: Designer Handbags

Hiya Everyone!
This is Part 2 of my Ebay Selling Guide Posts! This part is all about handbags! 

When selling handbags on Ebay you must have an authentic bag if it is designer. You cannot sell a knock off on ebay, it is simply not allowed. 

Step 1: Know Your Handbag

Know what brand your handbag is, who made it, how much does it retail for, and if it's vintage, how old is it?

Step 2: Is it real?

When selling a designer handbag this is one if the first questions you want to ask yourself. If you purchased it new it's obvious, if not you might have to do your research and find out the style of bag as well as when it was made. Also some bags have serial numbers inside them. This will come in handy!

Step 3: Take Pictures

I cannot stress it enought about the importance of taking pictures of your handbag you are trying to sell. Also make sure to show all flaws and imperfections. Potential buyers will want to see every inch of the bag including the inside lining and pockets!

Step 4: Pricing Your Handbag

When pricing your handbag you must know what you have and how old it is. Some bags, Louis Vuitton for example go up in value but some do not, example coach always stays relatively the same or decreases in value. 

Be sure not to under sell yourself when selling a handbag but do not overprice yourself either. The potential Buyer will move on to another seller if your price is not fair.

EBAY Selling Guide: How To Sell Makeup (Arbonne, Avon, Mac)

Hiya everyone!
I am doing a three part Ebay selling guide series. This is part one, makeup! I hope you enjoy!

Selling makeup on ebay is tricky. If your buying in bulk and reselling you want to know if your products are authentic and not counterfeit and also, were your products limited edition?

To figure this out you may have to do some research on the internet. For example:
This Maybelline Color Tattoo retailed for 5.99 originally in stores but since it was limited edition, the price skyrocketed to 13.99 on Ebay! 

Great for the seller, not so much for the consumer. But if you missed out on any of those special limited edition collections, usually you can find them on ebay. 

Be careful when buying or selling MAC Cosmetics products because those are the most counterfeited makeup items. 

If your selling MAC products be prepared to show many pictures of the product itself and the packaging because experienced buyers will ask about MAC. it's a "Buyer Beware" sort of thing.

All in all if your selling makeup on ebay here is your sellers checklist:

1) know what you have
2) check for limited edition 
3) take as many pictures as needed
4) answer all questions accordingly
5) if it's swatched say it's swatched don't say "like new"

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner

Hiya Everyone! 
I tested out the Herbal Essence hello Hydration 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner recently and I must say I love it! 

Usually I am not a fan of 2 in 1 products just for the sole reason they make my hair greasy and stringy for some unknown reason. But, I seen this at the store and thought I'd give it a shot. What sold me on it was the fusion of Hawaiian coconut! 

I love coconut but this barely has any coconut smell. To me it just smells fresh and clean and this gets my hair super clean, just as clean as a seperate shampoo and conditioner would. 

I purchased mine at walmart for 2.97 but I have seen this at other drugstores and grocery stores. 

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed.

Urban Decay good Kharma Optical Blurring Brush Review

Hiya Everyone! 
I'm here today to share my thoughts on the Urban Decay Good Kharma Optical Blurring Brush. 


I purchased this brush from sephora around Christmas time but it is still available now. I believe it is 28.00 but don't quote me on that. This was my first ever urban decay brush, even before I had my naked 3 palette. 

I fell in love with urban decay brushes and I wish they made more and had a wider selection to choose from. 

This brush is extremely soft and very dense. This brush is a lot heavier than I had expected it would be, it's a very sturdy brush. I have washed this brush several times and I have had no bristles fall out. It's amazing for applying foundation and/or powder and it makes you look flawless and airbrushed.

I highly recommend this brush if that's something that your looking for.

Dior Lipstick and Perfume Gift Set Overview

Hiya everyone! 
I have had this Dior set for awhile and I should I would share it with you all. 
 

Dior is one of my favorite brands, I love their products. With saying that, I do love this. This gift set came with a mini Dior Addict Perfume, a mini Dior Addict Lipstick and a Dior necklace, in a little Dior box! 

I love it all, I believe this ran around 25.00 which for Dior isn't bad at all since it is a luxury brand. I love mini and/or travel sized items so this was perfect for me to get to try two Dior items without spending insane amounts of money on them. 

Stay tuned for in depth reviews on the Dior lipstick and perfume!

Too Faced Fall Collection Palettes

Hiya Everyone!
I cannot contain my excitement anymore! Too Faced released their fall palettes and they are available on ulta online right now to order at 36.00 a piece. There are three of them but honestly I am only interested in two. 


The three palettes are: cat eyes, country, and rock and roll. I am only interested in the rock and roll and country palettes because I feel the cat eyes thing has been over done and all the shades in that palette I have something too similar. Your probably saying but The country palette looks so similar to other things as well. I know that but it's that dark wine shade and that purple pulling me in for that one.

What pulls me into the rock and roll palette are the jewel toned shadows. They are absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely absolutley gorgeous. I can't wait to go in store and swatch those babies! 

I plan on picking up one of these palettes in the next few weeks, I am leaning toward rock and roll but country has some beautiful shades, we will just see when I swatch them.

I have a 3 legged cat....

Hiya Everyone!
Today's post isn't about beauty or makeup but it's about cats. One car in particular. My cat!

He was just born yesterday and his name is Tripod. Why you ask? Because he simply has three legs!


He is a healthy happy kitten and you wouldn't notice he was different, I actually didn't right away. He acts like the other normal kittens but he's special!

Follow Tripod on Instagram at @the3leggedcat

First Impressions: Boo-Boo Coverup

Hiya Everyone!
Posting today about a product I recieved in the mail to try out and review. Saying that, I just want to state these are all my own opinions and I am not being paid to say anything. 

This post is more a first impressions than anything but I recieved this in the mail and I am always up for trying a good concealer, especially when it claims to heal and conceal at the same time.


What I'm talking about is Boo-Boo Coverup! It comes in a squeeze tube as you can see above and you only need a little bit. I used this on one of my face demons today, you know those little annoying pimples that come up randomly and won't go away! Well I used this today on my face and it didn't wear off throughout the day, it's a thick concealer and it was like the spot wasn't even there. This gets 5 stars in the concealing department! 

I have mine in the shade light and usually I am a light-medium shade person in concealers. But this light shade it darker than your normal everyday light concealer. If your pale this wouldn't work for you, it would be too dark. This only comes in three shades I believe, light, medium, and dark. 

As for the healing claims, I put this on this morning and when I took my makeup off tonight I had noticed the face demon in question had reduced in size. So I'm not completely sold on the healing part but I think it did make a difference from my normal concealer.

This is a bit more expensive than your drugstore concealers. This is more in the sephora/high end price range but in my opinion it's worth it. It doesn't crease or fade throughout the day, it's not cakey, it's not greasy, it conceals. I like this concealer, so far it gets an A+ from me!

First Impressions: Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration After Sun Lotion

Hiya Everyone!
I'm here today to do a first impressions post on the Hawaiian tropic Silk Hydration after sun lotion in the scent coconut papaya. 

This lotion claims to have 24 hour moisturization. I have yet to put that to the test as I just picked this up at the store today!


I have been looking for this in store since it launched last summer. No stores around me carried it but I managed to find it this morning a year later. 

I tried this on my arms and it does have a slightly tropical coconut scent but nothing overwhelming and the scent doesn't stick around. 

The skin on my arms is incredibly soft now so that if definitely a plus. I should have a more in depth review of this on my YouTube channel very soon! 

So far the only downside to this product that I see is the price. To me this was a but pricey especially for the 6 ounce bottle your buying. I paid 9.00 for this so let's cross our fingers it was worth it!

Ross Lynch's R5 Pick Necklace STOLEN

Hiya Everyone!

Ok ok so his necklace wasn't exactly stolen, but whole crowd surfing in London it broke and a fan grabbed it. In my opinion she was going to keep it as a souvenir but that necklace means more to Ross than any of us know. 

She even posted a "selfie" of herself wearing the necklace. If she was just trying to save it for him I don't think she should have done that since it's not hers to wear. She was also posting all over Instagram and twitter that she had his necklace.


The necklace I'm speaking of is the one around his neck in the picture above and every other R5 picture in existence. 

Needless to say the R5 Family asked her to return the necklace to Ross the following day at the R5 HMV signing in Manchester England. I followed this and thought it was a one in a million chance he was going to get his beloved necklace back but he did. 

The girl who had it returned it to him at the signing and all is well. What could have been an R5 catastrophe, turned into a happy ending!

Getting a Record Player?


Hiya Everyone!
I have been MIA for a few days but u have been busy! Check out the makeup swap video on my YouTube channel! Http://YouTube.com/user/lipglossandconverse 
Other than doing a few videos I have been wracking my brain on which record player to buy! I've had the same record player all my life, a huge stereo one from the eighties and it served me well but is now deceased. So it's time to buy a new one, problem is...I can't decide which one. 

That's where I am enlisting your help, yes you reading this! Tell me your opinions.
My first option is below:


I was drawn to this and the other model I am choosing from because they are compact and small which is what I want. This one is made by Crosley, which is a well known brand name but I don't want to just be buying a name, is there anything special in this one compared to the other?

This next one I am contemplating is this:


This one again is also small and lightweight. Not a Crosley but a Jensen. I have had Jensen products in the past with no issues so I am not worried about that. But I am just asking for a public opinion. They don't range much difference in price, about 20.00 is all!

Let me know your opinions in the comments below! Do you have a record player? Do you use it daily?

Fashion By Mayhem: The Paper Dress Queen

Hiya Everyone! 
It's already been a long day in my world with a power outage but that's not stopping me from telling those of you who don't know, about Fashion By Mayhem. 

Mayhem is an adorable little girl who, with her mom, makes beautiful paper dresses!! Her mom posts them on fashionbymayhem.com and on Instagram @2sisters_angie


I mean look at her! She's adorable and so talented, not to mention she makes a wonderful Maleficent! 


Mayhem is a fun little girl and I look forward to seeing her new paper dresses everyday on Instagram. It's become part of my daily routine, and I am sure we will be seeing an actual clothing line out of Mayhem in the future! 


Look at Mayhem as Elsa from Frozen! She is so cute as Elsa! (You can find her adorable hat on Etsy if your interested) 

I am making this post about Mayhem because not only is she adorable and talented, she's fun and genuinely loves fashion and making her paper dresses! 
I know there's more to come from Mayhem and I honestly can't wait to see it!

Candy Corn Obsession?

Hiya Everyone!

Is it possible to have a candy corn obsession and in the middle of June no less, no where near Halloween? 

I thought candy corn was only sold near Halloween and Thanksgiving but I was mistaken it seems. I was at the store just walking around shopping and I see bags of candy corn. With candy corn being my favorite candy I naturally grabbed several bags with no shame.


I have recently been called candy corn obsessed. Is it possible to be obsessed when you only normally are restricted to your favorite candy two months out of the year? 

Is anyone else's favorite candy, candy corn? Have you seen it at times other than Halloween time? I'd like to know! I just wanted to share this because I was taken by surprise!

Thanks for reading my candy corn rambling! I hope you enjoyed!

Rihanna's Fashion WTF!?

Hiya Everyone. 
Can we just talk about this outfit fiasco?


I was just scrolling through my Instagram feed, just minding my own business and this pops up. 

WTF!? Like seriously Rihanna seriously!? 

I have nothing against Rihanna, I actually like some of her music but this, the only explaination for this is a total brain fart!

I'm sorry but if your going to an event where other people will be around you please cover up. You can still be sexy without showing off everything you've got. That outfit leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. 

Just having a thin layer of sparkly fabric that you can see through shouldn't be considered clothes. Not in my book at least. 

I completely understand being proud of your body and wanting to flaunt it but Rihanna went too far. There was no reason for that outfit. I know she was trying to be sexy but honestly does that look sexy to you? 

To me she looks like a naked, sparkly gypsy vampire like off of twilight with a furry tail wrapped around her from some mythical creature that will remain unnamed that she slaughtered. 

I know this is just my opinion but she's a beautiful woman, but in this outfit, her beauty is masked even with the thinnest of material. 

Leave your opinions on Rihanna's fashion fiasco down below, let me know.

2 cups water but add more water if desired 
1/2 cup Epsom salt. (You can get this at dollar tree or walmart)
Handful of Chocolate Mint and Spearmint Leaves (optional)

I mix all of this up in a large bucket. Make sure your water is warm when you do this. I soak my feet for twenty minutes. Be sure to have towels handy because when you take them out wipe off your feet and the dead skin will just practically fall right off. 

This is so relaxing and so easy to do!
I hope you enjoyed thanks for reading.

Top 5 Nail Polishes for Summer

Hiya everyone!
I'm here today to tell you about my top 5 nail polishes for summer! These polishes are my favorites for this season, let's get into it!


1) Essie's First Timer- This polish is gorgeous. Perfect neon mint green! As soon as I seen this I knew I had to have it. I think this is on my nails more than any other polish.

2) OPI's Gargantuan Green Grape- I love this color and you'd think from the name that it would be a purple or a green but no it's a baby blue. Other than the strange name this is a beautiful Tiffany blue mail polish. 

3) Sinful Colors' Skylark- I don't own a ton of sinful colors but when I seen this at Walgreens I grabbed it because I honestly don't have another color like it in my collection. It's a beautiful pastel orange.

4) Dior Nail Glow- This gives your nails a perfect pink sheer glow. I love this. Yes it's a bit pricey but it's 100% worth it. 

5)OPI's Planks A Lot- I love this color it's a perfect lavender purple for summer plus it's from the pirates of the Caribbean collection. 

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed!

Crest Be Adventurous Mint Chocolate Trek Tooth Paste

Hiya! 
Your probably reading the title of this post and thinking....mint chocolate tooth paste really? Why would you buy that? 

Well if you know me you'd know I have an unhealthy obsession with anything mint chocolate or mint chocolate chip. So needless to say when I seen this ...it was a no brainer.


This looks like the filling of a Mint chocolate Oreo and tastes like one when your brushing your teeth! It's awesome! I am not one for the normal tasting tooth paste I usually get bubble gum or some other random flavor. But, this is my new favorite toothpaste hands down. It tastes good, gets my teeth clean and whitens them and isn't harsh on my sensitive teeth! I love it. A+++++ five stars Crest Bravo!

Revlon Spider-Man Collection Lip Gloss

Hiya Everyone! 
You can guess from the title what were talking about today! The revlon Spider-man collection. I love Spider-Man and revlon and I wanted something from this collection but I couldn't decide. They had polishes and glosses. I ended up getting a lip gloss in the shade killer watt.


I love the color, just a sheer gloss with a dash of red and glitter. But, it was the packaging that drew me in. I love the spider webbed design on the packaging, it reminds me of super heroes and halloween all wrapped into one. If you know me you know I'm obsessed with Halloween! Absolutely obsessed! 

This is a sticky gloss so if you don't like that, this gloss isn't for you. I purchased mine at Walgreens for 8.99 and there was a peel off coupon on the display for 1.00 off so be on the lookout for those to save you a little money! 

I hope you enjoyed this quick review, thanks for reading! If you have any questions leave them in the comments below!

Wet N' Wild Balm Stain Crayon Review

Hiya Beautiful Peoples of the internet!
Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the Wet N' Wild Balm Stain Crayons with you!

I purchased mine at Walgreens in the shade, A Stiff Pink. I was expecting these to be not very pigmented and horrible but Wet N' Wild continues to surprise me! This balm stain is SO pigmented. I just throw this on my lips and I'm good to go. The color is most vibrant when you first put it on but that's like with any lip stain. The stain itself does stain your lips all day and doesn't come off when you eat or drink.

I believe these retail for around 2-3 dollars. When I purchased mine they were on sale for 2.00 and there was 1.00 off peel coupons! So mine ended up being only 1.00, quite a steal. If your looking for an inexpensive lip stain that will stay on your lips all day I highly recommend these!

Too Faced Summer Eyes Palette First Impressions

Hiya Everyone! 
I've been meaning to sit down and write this post for a couple of months now. I purchased the Too Faced Summer Eyes palette online without even swatching it. I had heard many great things about Too Faced shadows even though I only own a few Too Faced Items I went ahead and purchased it anyway, sight unswatched.


When I first opened it I immediately loved the colors. Chocolate Sun and Cocoa Beach are my favorites because they're so wearable, but Peach Fuzz and mermaid are close seconds.

I love the quote at the top because secrets out, I'm a mermaid! 

All jokes aside this is a gorgeous palette. If your looking for the perfect summer palette, I highly recommend this.


I mean look at that! How can you not fall in love with that packaging as well as the shadows. A+++ Too Faced!

Montagne Jennesse Creamy Coconut Face Mask

Hiya beautiful people of the internet! 
I'm here today to tell you all about the Montagne Jennesse Creamy Coconut Face Mask. 

This was sent to me for review along with several other masks, so look forward to those reviews as this is the first of many. 

When I first got this in the mail I was so excited to try it because coconut is one of my favorite scents. Naturally this was the first face mask I tried! When I opened the package I had the intention of this being enough to do two masks, I was mistaken. This was just enough for one face mask but that's not necessarily a bad thing. 

I love the smell of this, it smells faintly of coconut. The mask reminds me of a beachy summer day and takes me to a relaxing place. It smells like sunscreen, straight up sunscreen. If you don't like that smell this is not the mask for you, but if you do like I do, by all means, slap this puppy on your face and let it work it's magic. 

After 15 minutes and the mask had dried on my face I washed it off and my skin felt hydrated and super clean. My skin wasn't extremely tight like some masks make it but I could feel a difference in my skin. I loved it. I highly recommend this mask. 

If your looking for a nice inexpensive mask, this is the one for you!
