Giselle Cosmetics


I just mentioned these 8 in 1 eye shadows from Giselle Cosmetics in my July Favorites* however, they were sent to me back in the middle of May 2011 from a representative of Sun Lab who I was working with for a few weeks at the time.  She sent me these eyeshadows and did not even ask for me to do a video on them, she just wanted me to try them out and she knew I would like them.  Which I do, I actually love these sets and I want them all!! I was sent two sets, Terra Bella and Las Vegas (I was allowed to pick which ones I wanted and those were my two favorite)


There are 12 sets in total on the website and each cost only $14.97.  Honestly they are well worth it and for me that is not a lot, I also do not think many people would think that is a lot either.  You get 8 super pigmented eyeshadows, and they is a generous amount of product in each color.


My one complaint is the pictures on the web site do not match the actual products.  The Las Vegas set is super bright and fun, while on the web site the colors do not look like that at all.

Las Vegas actual swatches 

 Terra Bella online picture

Terra Bella is closer to the online swatches then Las vegas was.

I have been now using them since I recieved them and I adore them and plan on doing some tutorials in the up coming weeks using them.  I think I did not do a video sooner because if you check out my channel you see that other then my two new make up tutorials I have not done one in months.  But now I have a good set up and HD camera so I love to record tutorials.

Louis Vuitton Wish List!

I really wanted to write more random blog post since as of right now most, expect for a few, of my blog post relate directly to a video.  I will still be doing that but I just wanted to also write posts on things that I either can not make a video on or things that are just to random for a video ;)

As some of you might know I love handbags, they are my total guilty pleasure and if I could I would buy every single one I like; but that is unrealistic because one I would not have the money and two I would never be able to appreciate the bag if I just keep buying new ones.  But if I was going to buy a few new bags all but one (that one other would be from Chanel) would be from my favorite accessary (I do not want to say handbags because they have so many other great things and I do not want to say fashion because they do not have my favorite clothing lol) designer, Louis Vuitton.  What girl does not love LV.

I currently have one Louis Vuitton bag which my parents bought for me as a graduation present from high school.  I was torn between the Speedy 35 and Alma but I went with the Monogram Canvas Speedy 35 because that was my dream bag forever!


Since then I have not bought any other LV bags but I did buy the Zippy Organizer in Damier Ebene Canvas.  The damier ebene is my second favorite print, and monogram is of course my favorite.



I have spent hours browsing online and in stores looking at different bags.  Below is a list and links to each item I would hopefully be able to add to my collection in the future.


The perfect carry on bag

I would never want LV luggage unless I was on my own private jet because otherwise the bag would be thrown around and ruined.  A carry on is nice because it will be with you on the plane and it will be perfect for weekend road trips.  This is probably the first item on my wish list that I will buy.

Cute shape and size

I love the alma shape.  The one downside to this alma is that it is not that big.  I love oversized bags that fir everything and while this bag will fit everything I need it is not huge.  This is more of an everyday bag when I am not in school.  (there is no way a book could fit in there)  I also like the Monogram Canvas Alma MM because it is much larger and while it is the same shape the bags looks very different.

Classic and perfect tote

Oh the neverfull, another classic and popular LV shape.  The MM is perfect for class, I really like the GM too but I am worried it would just be to big! if that is even possible.  While the Damier Ebene canvas PM is a great everyday tote and the red lining is such a fun touch!

Unique and beautiful

Wow, I love this bag.  Isa was the first one to show it to me and tell me how much she loves it, now Isa is not a big LV fan (she likes gucci more) so for her to love a LV bag it must be amazing.  I do not think I have ever seen anyone with this bag in person and I kind of like that, it would be nice to have a bag not many people have.  And I just really love the unique shape!


An interesting fact that some people may not have known is Louis Vuitton bags do not go "on sale" you will not find a clearance bag like some designers do but there are some outlet Louis Vuitton stores that carry older season bags at a discount.  But you will not find a Speedy 35 or any of the bags I listed above on the sale rack so I better start saving.

Please note that this is all what I would like but I am not buying all of these bags anytime soon, I many never buy any of these bags I just like to look and "dream" about maybe buying one or all.  But odds are I would not buy these bags for years to come and it would be over my life time.

Best Makeup Removers

Cost - $3
Where I bought it - Target

Wipes or cloths are a quick and easy way to take off all your makeup. I have to admit I never use to like them and I do not know why but I am a huge fan now! I have tried loads of different brands and none we that great, either they bothered my skin, didn't fully remove my makeup or they left my skin feeling strange. I have even tried the MAC makeup wipes and they irritated my skin so much! I was red and itchy right after using one.
Now that is it spring and summer is coming up makeup wipes are a must have to keep in your bag or car. You never know when you want to jump in the pool or head to the beach to tan and you would not want your makeup running or getting in the way. Keeping these wipes by your bed is another must have stop, everyone has those nights when you are super lazy and they do not want to move out of bed, if these wipes are on your night stand you can just use one and not have to worry about going to bed with makeup on your face. And since these wipes are only 3 dollars they are affordable enough to buy multiples and put in different stops ;)



Cost - under $5
Where I bought it - Wal-Mart

While this product says it is oil free my skin still have the oily feeling after using it. I hate that feeling and that is why I do not reach for this product when taking off my makeup every night. However, it is an amazing makeup remover it can take everything and I mean everything off! If you like liquid makeup removers I have to tell you to try this one out.
The one time I do use this makeup remover is when I need to take off my false eyelashes or I have some eye lash glue stuck on my lash line/eye lashes. No other makeup remover can take that stubborn glue off.



Cost - $3-$4
Where I bought it - Wal-Mart

As I said in the video this is my favorite makeup remover out of all of them. It is the most gentle makeup remover I have ever used and the best part is it can still take off of your makeup even though it is that gentle. I can put it on my eyes and not worry about them burning or stinging and my eye liner, mascara, and eye shadows will easily be removed.
While this makeup remover does not foam when you add water I still feel as though it can cleanse my face. A little goes a long way with this product, which I love, and one bottle has lasted me quite sometime. I have just bought a new bottle and I know I will keep on uses this makeup remover, unless I find a better one ... which will be hard ;) haha



Cost - $6.99
Where I bought it - Wal-Mart

Before finding my St. Ives makeup remover this was my go to makeup remover for years! I loved it and I still do, I am just enjoying the St. Ives a little more now. This makeup remover was able to remove my makeup but it also deep cleaned my skin. I felt my skin tightening after I washed my face, and it was a tight "my pores are shrinking" my face is getting deep cleaned type of feeling not "my face is drying out and being stripped" kind of feeling.
The one downside to this product is when you tried to remove your eye makeup if this got in your eyes they would burn and string. I can not recommend using this to remove your eye makeup because of that problem but if you want to use this only for your face then it is perfect.
I also really like that when ever I used this I did not have to wash my face after with another cleanser, this is a great two in one kind of product. If only it would remove eye makeup a little better.
