Some of my favorite products!! :3

Hey everyone!!

So I haven't updated this blog is a long time, and I decided that I wanted to share some of my favorite products that I've bought online. So let's just jump right into it!

First thing we have is a liquid eyeliner.  I cannot say enough good things about this eyeliner. This is literally my holy grail item.

First amazing thing, it's under $2 (including shipping!!)

Second, look at the packaging. How can you not love it?!

And last, this stays on my eyes all day. It doesn't smudge or crease or anything. It looks flawless all day long. And I have extremely oily eyelids, so that's amazing.

I highly recommend this if you're just getting into makeup. It's cheap and lasts forever. :3

Next we have some makeup brushes.

I have a few high end brushes that only shed and leave gross hairs all over my face.

But these are amazing. They're under $3 and look adorable. They include the basics and have an adorable pattern. They don't shed either and are extremely soft on your face so they won't irritate anything!

This is probably my best friend.

Again, I have very oily skin, so when I put on foundation, it sometimes just melts off. But this helps prevent that. And the packaging is the best thing ever.

The only downfall is that it only comes in two colors (i use #1)

It goes on translucent and comes with a little applicator as well. I use this everyday and it's lasted a few months and I still haven't hit pan!

It's just under $13 and I highly recommend this item.

Next up, we have a mascara.

Now I'm pretty sure I've done a review on this before, but let's just sum it up.

One coat of this will give you longer lashes. But three coats or more gives you the look of fake lashes!

It's just under $8 which is great because when you're done with it, you can keep the brush to fix your lashes later on. :3 You also get some free samples.

AND TONY MOLY DOESN'T TEST ON ANIMALS.

And lastly, we have a sun cream.

This is a little on the expensive side ($14) but it's definitely worth it. You only need a little bit and it lasts forever. Now I'm going to mention it has a floral scent when you first apply it, but no worries! It doesn't last more than a minute after applying.

It has SPF 45 and also helps whiten skin and prevent wrinkles, which is great.

I got two free samples with this that I have yet to try. But I'm really loving this so far and I'm sure you will too!

That's all I have for you guys today, but I hope you all like them.

If you happen to order these, please let me know what you think of the items. They're all great in my opinion and I'll definitely be re-ordering them when I run out!!

September Favorites!!

Hey everyone!

So September is over, which means it's time for a monthly favorites post!! ^__^

I love reading these kind of posts/watching videos of them. So feel free to tweet me a link to yours. :3

(@yoashleydawn)

So here's an overview of my favorites things this month. :3 (My phones lurking too)

The first thing is this eyelash curler I got from Claires for about $8. I liked it cause it reminded me of a panda xD And plus the other one they had was broken.

I really like it! It does the job perfectly, and looks super cute as well.

The next thing(s) are these two rings.

The silver one I got off eBay for about $1. It's really cute. The only bad thing is when I wear it to work, it sometimes gets caught in my back pocket cause of the leaves. But still super adorable!

And the pink heart ring is just a stretchy ring I got from their 10 items for $10 section. It's cute and goes with lots of stuff. :3

Then we have this perfume. I'm not really a big perfume person, but I got it from my work for $2.50 which made me excited. It smells really good, and I think it's a good scent for fall/winter.

It's originally $20.00 everywhere else, but my work sells stuff really cheap. So yay!

Next we have the Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream, which I've been using since it first came out. I love it so much, and it cuts my makeup time down a lot.

I find that even the light shade that I own is still pretty dark for my skin, but I just have to take a second to blend it into my neck and it's good.

This is the mascara I've been using for about three years. Well, not the exact tube, but brand. xD I really like how it makes my lashes look, and I usually only use one coat. It washes off nicely too which is a bonus. No one likes waking up with panda eyes!

I use the color classic black, but I've also used glam black. They look the same to me.

Next up is the Mint Sorbet Sally Hansen nail polish.

I had looked for this for weeks before finally finding a bottle at walmart for less than $3. :3 It's a really pretty mint color and all you really need is two coats, but you can get away with one easily.

And it stays on for quite a while. It stayed on for three days for me (but i didn't use a top coat/i was working so it always chips no matter what)

Then we have this. :3 (sorry for the flash)

It's the Maybelline New York Mineral Powder blush! I don't know the exact color, but it was pretty dark.

I got it from the dollarstore for $1.25. This is smaller than the foundation packs (which I really love as well) but you don't need a lot. Because it's more pigmented, I use just a tiny bit or just whatever's on my blush brush. xD And it stays on pretty well too.

Sorry if those aren't aligned. Thanks x__x

But the last item is the Cats Wink compact by Tony Moly.

I am in love with this. It's the cutest packaging ever! I bring this literally everywhere with me.

I'm pretty sure this is just a sheer thing for over makeup. I put it on over my bb cream and my skin looks perfect afterwards. It gets rid of the shine on my nose and forehead.

AND IT'S A CAT.

That's all for this post. :3 I hope you enjoyed and I'll talk to you guys next time ^__^ <3

Possible Giveaway Items!! :3

Hey guys!! So I feel like I've been mia for whatever reason.

SOOOO I recently went shopping (and by recently I mean today) and I picked up a few things to possibly giveaway! :3 When I say possible, I mean depending how active you guys are with the blog ;3 Cause you will have to do stuff to win them xD

So now is the time I post pictures of things I bought :3

So this first item is a little makeup bag! Probably the size of my hand :P On the back it's just plain hot pink. You could probably use this as a wallet or something too tho.

And here we have another makeup bag! I wanted to show you both sides of this one :3

This one is bigger so you could easily hold your eyeliner pencils and brushes in it. It's really adorable and I was tempted to buy another for myself before I realized I already have a cute little makeup bag. :D

(It's plausible that I'd be filling these with cute little items too)

So the next item I bought is this pretty little necklace that says 'YEAH'

The colors is probably what drew me to this. It's smooth too, so it won't snag on your clothes!

This is a bracelet! Duh. I thought it was really adorable and I think cupcakes are super cute (and yummy)

I actually have other bracelets like this that I'm in love with. I don't suggest wearing these with tight hoodies though cause I've gotten a few scrapes from them xD But if you're just wearing a normal t-shirt then it's totally fine!

And of course; THE HELLO FREAKING KITTY GLASSES.

They're still in the packaging too. xD

I'm unsure if I'll give each out separately but I'll probably just pick two winners and combine some of the prizes. :3 I just wanted to show you guys them!! ^__^

Have a lovely day and keep on smiling!!

Tony Moly Cats Wink Mascara Review!!

So I recently did a review on some bb cream, and I actually enjoyed doing it. Everyone's skin and preference is different, so reading multiple reviews is always good. :3

Today I'm going to be reviewing; 

Tony Moly Cats Wink Mascara

I first found this item on instagram, and instantly looked it up.

The packaging; 

The packaging is the cutest thing ever. Every time I pull it out in public, at work, or around family, everyone always asks about it.

The wand is perfect as well. It's smaller than what I'm used to, but it took no time to get used to!

(the wand)

The product;

I wasn't expecting a lot from it honestly. I had recently been using Maybelline New Yorks Lash Blast prior which worked great. But I decided after two years that I could switch it up.

I found that the Cats Wink Mascara gives my lashes more of a fake lash effect, which I love. I'm one of those people who cannot put on fake lashes to save my life.

Another thing I found was that if you are looking for the natural lash effect, you can still achieve it with this magnificent mascara! ^__^

One coat will do the job for natural lashes, and for the fake lash effect, I usually use about 3-4 coats and curl my lashes prior as well.

There are two separate formulas for this mascara as well. 

One for volume and long lashes (i use this one) and the other for curling and long lashes.

I already curl my lashes so I didn't think I would bother with it.

Overall;

I highly recommend this mascara to anyone and everyone.

The only downfall is that you do need to purchase it online. (click here to purchase it :3 free shipping + free gifts!! ^__^)

I can't say enough about this product. It's one of my favorites and I will for sure be rebuying it.

(it's also not tested on animals yay!)

Garnier BB Cream Review!!

Hey everyone!

A few months ago I discovered the Garnier BB Cream and was SO excited. I had been looking for one to try in hopes to cut down my time spent on makeup.
The first time looking for it, I had no luck. Partly because I didn't know what it looked like. And if you don't either, I'll include a picture.

The second time when I found it, they only had the dark one. So if you have lighter skin like I do, it might be a little bit harder to find. But just keep looking! :)

Onto the review;

The first time I tried it, I thought it felt a little bit oily which I wasn't a fan of as I have oily skin already. I went with it anyways. When I got home, because of the excess oil, I had a BUNCH of breakouts all over.
I was extremely disappointed and left it in my makeup drawer for a few days before deciding to give it a second go.

Now that was a few months ago. I am currently on my second tube of it as I discovered the trick to using it ;)
Whether you have oily skin or not, I would definitely recommend a translucent powder for sure.
The one I've been using with the BB Cream is the Tony Moly Cats Wink Compact (I'll include a picture at the bottom)

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you're looking for full coverage, then this isn't for you. I have acne scars and my skin after being washed is pretty red, and I'd say it has about medium/light coverage.
My acne scars do look lighter, but are still visible. But the redness is always completely gone after.

Overall; 

I don't recommend this specific BB cream if you're not going to be using a powder over it or if you're self-concious about acne(scars). But if you're using a powder like I do, I think it's totally worth a shot! I really love it and I'll most likely be purchasing a third tube soon ;)

Cats Wink Compact ;)

July Favorites

July Favorites~

So for this month, I found that I had a lot of things that I really enjoyed and decided it could be fun to share them with you. :3 So let's jump into everything~

First things first is this shirt that I bought here. It's super comfortable and personally i think it's super cute :3 it's one of my favourite shirts to wear on a casual day if i'm just out and about. It's not heavy and it keeps me cool.

The next item that I want to share is this cute little bunny spray thing that can be found here. This one I have is for oily skin, but there's another for normal skin :3

now that it's summer and it's always really hot, this is just really nice to have with you. when your face gets all hot and sweaty and gross, just spray this on and your face feels refreshed! i find that it helps get rid of any excess oil too c: and it smells good!!

So these two are my favourite lip balms. I couldn't pick one cause i keep going back to the other after a few days. the red one is an EOS lip balm in summer fruit. you can find them just about everywhere, but just in case, here's a link to it.

it smells really pretty and goes on my lips nicely. the shape of it is super adorable as well 

Now the second one i'm sure everyone has seen. it's the baby lips! you can find them at walmart usually for about $4. the blue one is my favourite as it doesn't colour my lips and it tastes super yummy. like vanilla and lemons kinda.

Being a girl, I love doing my nails ^__^ and this is one of my favourite colours. I've always liked pastel colours for some reason, and purple is probably my second favourite colour. so it works nicely. this colour is lacy lilac i believe. i usually put on two coats just to make sure it'll stay on for a while. but one coat does well too.

The last item that i've been really loving is this mascara from maybelline new york. the wording has kinda faded obviously but it's the colossal volume express. this colour is just black. it makes my lashes look pretty but not extremely fake. and it stays on all day without smudging. 

WELL that's it for my july favourites ^__^ this was super fun to do and i'd love to see your guys' favourites for the month.

feel free to tweet me a link to your blogs or videos.

until next time, love love love :3
