it's a mehhh marrrio!!!!

Hey guyys!! Finally a real post whoo hoo. Sorry I've been gone and blegh I'm not so sure how well this post is going to work out since my semi-slow computer makes my life a little difficult. But it can't help it that it's the size of two iphones put together. le sigh. SOOO first off let's start with my recent procurement of Mario Badescu products. I followed everybody's advice namely Francesca and went to http://www.mariobadescu.com/ and filled out their consulting questionnaire and true to form they sent me a small trial set of things including: enzyme cleansing gel, special cleansing lotion "c", collagen moisturizer, ceramide eye gel, drying mask, and drying cream. So from there I ordered the full size of the enzyme cleansing gel, special cleansing lotion, drying cream and two other recommended products that didn't have samples drying lotion and buffering lotion. ANDDD with each purchase of mario badescu you get three more supple sized samples and I chose caviar night cream, strawberry face scrub, and cucumber toner mask. I loved all the products but there are reasons why I chose not to get the full size moisturizer, eye gel, and drying mask. But let's start with the good:

Their words:
Enzyme Cleansing Gel: Our Best Selling Daily Cleanser. This non-foaming, gel cleanser thoroughly removes the day’s make-up, dirt and oil without drying the skin. Papaya and Grapefruit Extracts are exfoliating Alpha Hydroxy Acids that help prevent dulling build-up that can cause blackheads and pimples.
Ingredients: Deionized Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Papaya (Carica Papaya Fruit) Extract, Grapefruit (Citrus Grandis Fruit) Extract, Monomide, Triethanolamine, Methylparaben
Good for these Skin Types:All Types

My words:

Basically I don't care how my cleanser works be it foam, gel, liquids whatevs my biggest thing is how my skin feels afterwards. And this stuff made my face feel... balanced. Which is HUGE for me.. I always feel dry here and oily there and weirdly yucky in between. I liked how this worked for me and I felt clean but like the gel went further than cleaning, it balanced out my face. Plus i love how there's only seven ingredients. whoohoo.

$12.00 for the 8 oz jug. Pretty decent size since a little goes a long ways.

Their words:
Special Cleansing Lotion "C": Our Special Acne, Oil Controlling Formula with Sulfur is an aggressive astringent that will cleanse the skin of surface greasiness. One of our best acne fighting products that deep cleans, disinfects and dries up acne affected, oily skin and removes build-up that may cause future pimples.
Ingredients: Deionized Water (Aqua), Isopropyl Alcohol, Camphor, Sodium Sulfate, Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus Fruit) Extract, Gum Benzoin, Nonoxynol-9, Boric Acid
Good for these Skin Types:Combination, Oily

My words:

So upon reading aggressive, astringent, sulfur, disinfects, etc... I immediately had bad feelings about this. BUT they were all undeserved because this cleansing lotion... which is a fancy name for toner did not strip away the moisture and make me feel raw in fact it did the opposite. While doing its magical cleansing it still made my skin feel soft afterwards. Me likey!!!!!

$15.00 for an 8 oz jug, also easy to make last a long while.

Their words:
Drying Cream: Acne cream that conceals! Drying Cream is an effective treatment to dry up small under the surface bumps and pimples. Just a few dabs smoothed on the erupted areas prevent pimples from getting larger and spreading out of control. Aloe rich cream conceals and heals erupted pimples.
Ingredients: Deionized Water, Zinc Oxide, Aloe, Beeswax, Cetyl Alcohol, Lemon Extract, Colloidal Sulfur, Ervol, Octyl Palmitate, Ichthammol, Polysorbate 80, Titanium Dioxide, Polyglycerylmethacrylate (and) Propylene Glycol
Good for these Skin Types:Combination, Oily

My Words:

i LOVE this stuff. it's a spot treatment that you can apply night and day to your pimples and the color conveniently tones down the redness so that it works while being concealed. You can apply make up over it or not. This stuff works really well to alleviate the pimple's pain and get it healing quickly!!!

$12.00 for 0.5 oz jar which is decent sized and will definitely last me a hell of a long time especially if the other stuff keeps working as effectively there won't be as many pimple to cover!!!!

Their words:
Drying Lotion: Our best selling Pimple Healer, Drying Lotion is an excellent Acne spot treatment made with a blend of Calamine and Salicylic Acid to clear up and soothe unsightly whiteheads overnight. A dab of this lotion will heal and dry pimples quickly.
Ingredients: Isopropyl Alcohol, Deionized Water (Aqua), Calamine, Camphor, Colloidal Sulfur, Salicylic Acid, Glycerine, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Talc
Good for these Skin Types:All Types

My Words:

So I just got this stuff last night so I'm not sure how effective it is but I can already feel it working. It's for white headed pimples and I only had one of those tonight to apply this lotion on to but boy did it burn like hell. For the first five seconds I thought it was pretty painful. But I'll update on these results. It's kind of hard to use as you're not supposed to mix it up like I did on accident... when it settles it looks like this:

and you're supposed to get a q-tip and basically only use the pink stuff(calamine lotion) while soaking it up in the oil layer first but damn that's a pain. We'll see how much I like it and if it was worth the $17.00 I know it sure will last a while except maybe if I keep wasting it by getting too much out on my q-tip. Slight design flaw there Mario. You may need to consult Luigi on this one... or better yet Princess Toadstool. (... I need to go to sleep lol)

Their words:
Buffering Lotion: Specifically designed to treat deep, cystic blemishes. Sulfur based solution allows the lotion to be quickly absorbed into the skin, treating the source of the deeply rooted pimples. Excellent acne treatment containing Allantoin to calm and soothe inflammation and promote healing. Best when used before and after Drying Mask.
Ingredients: Deionized Water, Isopropyl Alcohol, Sodium Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Hydrolyzed Serum Protein, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Pyridoxine, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Propylene Glycol, Allantoin, Biotin
Good for these Skin Types:Combination, Oily

My words:
I'll admit I'm a lil' iffy on this one just because cystic pimples tend to kick my ass. I get a lot of them from stress and lack of sleep so I'm hoping to the beauty goddesses that this one works. I've only got it today so I tried it on my four... yes FOUR cystic pimples, and it's also for breakout areas so the mini breakout area on my cheek too. and uhm... its oily. ... Yeah i know that was my first reaction too. I'll trust Mario on this one and we'll check back in a few days to let you know. This one was also 17$ for a 1 oz jar.

My samples!!!
Strawberry Face Scrub is the only one I've used so far. I used it tonight to wash my face and it smelt delicious and it felt really soft too while still exfoliative (if that's a word which it probably isn't). So I'll just put up the website's descriptions:
Strawberry Face Scrub:
Made with real Strawberry seeds that gently buff away flaky skin while natural AHA’s break down dulling build-up to unclog pores and prevent blackheads. It improves skin's overall texture by revealing healthy, glowing skin.

Good for these Skin Types:Dry, Sensitive
$20.00 for 1 oz.

Also for the Holidays, Mario gave every customer who ordered something over some amount of money a holiday gift bag. See, when I ordered I didn't know about this so when I got this I was very pleasantly surprised. :) And it was quite generous too.

They came in a little green travel bag that was pretty cute

And I got Seaweed Cleansing Lotion which I tried tonight and it smells fresh and is basically a toner but also didnt strip my natural oils away but made me feel clean too :).
This is a non-drying, non-alcohol toner that cleans and disinfects dry and sensitive skin. Mild Witch Hazel formula removes pore clogging debris and anti-inflammatory Seaweed and Aloe Extract soothe sensitive areas.
Ingredients: Deionized Water (Aqua), Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) Gel, Bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus) Extract, Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana Distillate), Seamollient (Algae Extract)

Good for these Skin Types:All Types
and the enzyme cleansing gel I already have but now I have a travel size too!! Yay for me :)

All in all, I really enjoyed shopping with Mario Badescu. Yeah their prices were a lil' hefty but really? can anyone put a real price on beauty? lol. I think their prices are well worth it except for these lil' ones: The collagen moisturizer I don't think was worth the price. It has SPF 15 but my Hope in a Jar has 20 and after a week's worth of the collagen I still loved my Hope better so I decided not to waste the 22$ for 2 oz. Also I didn't get the ceramide eye gel not because I don't like it, in fact I do, it's reduced my dark circles a little bit each night. But I didn't get it because when they sent me a sample, they sent enough to lastme quite awhile!!!! It's just... I use the gel every night aruond my eyes but you know how it is with eye creams and gels... you only use a little bit. As for the drying mask. Holy cow that was some intense stuff. I didn't think my face could handle even once-a-week of that stuff. It was extremely drying. So if you don't mind that check it out!!!

oh p.s. the current loves of my life:

Kkotboda namja: based off the japanese manga hana yori dangoo and there was also a taiwanese remake called meteor garden, both of which I've never watched but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN LOVE with this show. I am ADDICTED +++++ some. Especially since I love Kim Hyun Joong. Ever since "we got married" I can't get enough of him. If you havent checked out this drama yet I insist you'll love it. It's on youtube.com. This user ratoka26 has eng subs. Check it out!! And...:

I am in love with Edward Cullen. sometimes I hate bella bbut right now I'm in love with this series. I read the first three books in three days. I could not put it down to go to sleep let alone my classes. I know bad bad bad!!! But oh so good too I'm reading Breaking Dawn this weekend and I am tooo excited. I haven't seen the movie yet but that's how I am. I love reading books first so the movies can't screw up my conceptions of the characters and how I want them to look and be.

Anywhooo, time for sleep!!!! Have a good weekend ladies and gents.

THANK YOUUU!!!!

I've never worn a lipstain before but I'm pleasantly pleased with this one. It's got this strange weird gross feel that kind of creeps me out but then it goes away haha. makes me look like I've been drinking cherry kool-aid all day.

Haven't used the face mask but I've done these before in Korea, they're like a staple in Korean makeup stores.

Elisha Coy BB Cream: i'm wearing it now and me likes it... it's like a muddy consistency at first ... kind of cool.

My Secret Santa on coastalscent's forum came in!!! yay for Pamalou at Nature's Beauty Minerals in Toledo, Washington :)

Lookie what I got!!! Two chocolate bath fizzies to be used after these darn finals.

And muslin clothes... which I've never used before but sound specktacular. Supposed to be really good for softly exfoliating your face.

So... Thursday got my paycheck ... went shopping for my outfit found NOTHING well for my outfit. EXCEPT these sex shoes I've been wanting for a year. Yes... a whole year.

Aren't they supppper hot. I wore them out Thursday night... bitchingly painful~! but sooo fuckin hot. Can't tell you how many compliments I got on my feet though yay :)

shoes i got my brother :) aren't they hot as shit!!!! i know i know the lil' kid loves me

So I bought this Thursday too since I got a sample of it with my sephora purchase the other day... basically... it's the shit. I really didn't like my MUFD HD foundation until I wore this under it. I'm not sure what it does to be completely honest with you but it feels like a second skin.

So girls, you know how we post about all the new things we get and sometimes our old favorites? Welllll I decided to do an old faithful that hasn't been gettin much love from me on the blog... my HAIRBRUSH!!! haha... it's a Conair from CVS and I would be lost without it... so yay here you go:

1. I will eat almost anything once. I'm a bit of a dare devil when it comes to that ;) I've eaten bugs (bundaegee if that's how you spell it), live octopus, fish flopping their lil fins straight out the ocean (quite literally people do this in korea, they go to this ocean and when the fish come on to the shore from the waves we pick them up dip 'em in sauce and eat yum yum!... actually they were DISGUSTING) coagulated pig blood noodles, chicken heart... all that good stuff.

2. i am a constant hobby-ist. I can't tell you how many hobbies I have... cross-stitching, scrapbooking, card-making, make-up making, doing make up... ehh the list goes on!!!!

4. my brother is the most important person in my life. if he died I'd kill myself from grief.

5. i taught myself how to type because I was too impatient for my teachers to teach me... school is TOO slow for me :). same with reading except my baby sitter taught me how to read :)

7. I have a love/hate relationship with the color red.

8. I've made 1000 cranes for two ex-boyfriends, I've also made 1000 stars for two ex-boyfriends. Those ex-boyfriends shall not be named may one of them rot in hell.

14. I have an obsession with louis vuitton since my name's Elvie and many people liken it to L.V. however I have no money for said obsession so everything I own is fake!!!! Muahahahah! (obviously have no insecurity about being faux fabulous :) !! )

I will post later with pics from tampa PLUS some minor haulage and mayyyybe my Lady L contest entry ?

Haulage and Mineral E/S Collection :)

Hey guyyss!! I'm doing a MASSIVE post due to the fact that I'll be gone this weekend to Tampa and no blogging for me :(. But when I get back expect muchas more!!!!

SOOOO let's start with my haul from Black Friday/Cyber Monday. YAYYYY!!!! I went to go get my sephora box and lookie lookie my TKB box was there too! supppplieess!!! (if said in korean accent comes out to be SURRRRPPPRRRRISEEE :) try it you know you want too ;) )

First off my coastalscents haul from before:

Finally got my hands on one of these. Gel Liners from coastalscents... this one's in truffle.

I would have done a swatch but uhmmm it looked like shit on my hand... quite literally

Can you see I used a wittle? Isn't the packaging cute?

Compared to MAC Blacktrack fluid line. MAC's packaging is bigger but don't be fooled. They're exactly the same weight. 3g/0.1 oz

My very own supply of CRACKKKK ... actually Kaolin Clay. Used in my blushes, and in facemasks, especially for acne. Seriously check out any face mask you own and see if there's some of this stuff in there. I was amazed when I saw it was in my neutrogena and my proactiv. Just gonna use it straight out the bag no additives! Just water.... we'll see how that goes

As for this purchase... FRIGGEN AMAZING!!! I've heard of all the amazing healing properties of Shea Butter and this stuff's unrefined so it has all those bad boys straight outta Africa, my motherland lol. Using this for my ecsema on my hands and my acne scars on my face and so far it's been kicking the asses of many an expensive brand... this was only $8.50 and at the rate it's going it'll last me like ten years. Except that I'm going to make whipped shea butter out of it... like body butters WOOT WOOT. i'm excited

SECOND HAULAGE

Sephora & TKB... YAYYY

What is this???

Why... it's a palette!!! How neat...

With tins too for... ? Pressing pigments of course and creating specialized palettes woot woot. I'm making some for christmas presents!!! how exciting... i'll post when I have one finished.

Sephora's Turn... $15 off this package buddy!!! and free shipping :)

Sephora samples are the best :) I'm excited to try these out especially the icelandic eye relief cream since I've been hesitant on buying that despite my utter love for the rest of the line.

hehe... I made them gift wrap it for me :) ... i mean it was a gift... just for myself :) and the box is SUPER cute.. The other one I got last year was a lot bigger. This one's rather cute\

and of course on the

INSIDE

Stila Lip Glazes!!! I've never tried these before so why not a sampler pack ehh?

My lips with Raisin #21

My lips with Vanilla #11

HOLY CRAP... I'm in love with these. They are sooo beautiful and shiny and they are just the right amount of color. I can't wait to try the other ones on. They're a bit sticky but not as sticky as MAC's lipglasses and they smell delishness too.

AHHH from the mother of all things colored: Urban Decay 24/7 Liners... another never try before product. And must say I love these too.

Swatches: from top to bottom- zero, lucky (MY FAVOOOOOORRRITE), covet, electric and lust

This is lust on... kind of really creepy close up like this but I love the color. I especially love purple liners, eyeshadows etc..

yahhh baby sexamalicious. i love this colour (lucky). friggen hot

My notecard I wrote to myself:

Alright now... my mineral e/s collection. All of these I've made, some of them however are recipes I've made from Coastalscents ... they will be pointed out.

Favorite out of this batch: Shimmer moss

Favorite out of this batch: ... ugh I love them all. prolly jamaican sun/ice queen

my favorite: skyy vodka even though it's a pale blue and rarely used I still love the colour

These are recipes that came with TKB's mica kit... I love them all

Sock 'em is my personal favorite out of these... my crown joy so far

Timberwolf is one I made and the other two are TKB recipes and I love LOVE SONG

These are all mines and Forever Purple was a struggle to recreate MUFD (hence the forever)'s purple color. I love it lol

Barbie is mine, otheres TKB. Burnished is a BEAUTIFUL color... this swatch doesn't really do it justice

I love this color to put over browns/golds just because it really looks like pieces of gold flakes. It's beautiful if I may say so myself ;). The picture came out blurry... oh well

I love Chopper... another sore attempt to copy Urban Decay's Chopper

These are all Coastalscent's colors whose recipes I found in their manual or on their forum

ehhh don't like these colors except peach which is a nice base colour

All coastalscent's colors and i am MADLY IN LOVE with luxe... it is an amazing color. It looks kind of orangey in the pic but honestly it's amazing.

So unfortunately I will miss you guys but I must embrace the real world sometimes. I'm excited for Tampa since I haven't seen my three besties Shanice, Ashley and Grace-C in a while SO YAYYY!!! plus sometimes everyone needs an escape... even from Miami.
