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. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

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.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

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

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed, I just wanted to share my kitten!

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?

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.

Thanks for reading.
