November Bath & Body Works Haul! 1st Haul!

What? DanielleLovesGlitter on YouTube?

Wow!  What is this world coming to?  I always made excuses, and never thought I would do it but thanks to the list of friends below (in no particular order), I made a silly and horrible intro video for YouTube that you can find here.  I think YouTube purposely gets the worst possible three thumbnail shots for you to choose from.  I like this thing I am doing with my mouth below. haha!

Right now you see 27 seconds of me from a video captured on an old cell phone.  I am hoping to upload a haul later this week or by the weekend at the latest because I have a ton of stuff to share with all of you and I really want to start using it!  Isn't the rule of hauling is that you can't use it until you have hauled it?  Correct me if I am wrong in the comments below.

So I would like to thank the following people for encouraging me for years to make YouTube videos, I can only hope that eventually I will live up to their expectations.

I will do my best to adopt Kristen's Face of the Day (FOTD) beauty bin so that I can remember to write everything I used that day in the description bar on YouTube.

So here are the list of peer pressure, I mean fabulous friends that I really, really adore!

• Rachael (LashChronicles)
• Julia (JG)
• Meems (Megan)
• Cindy (IamaCraftyNurse)
• Lori (pbmommypl)
• April (Lirpagall)
• Heidi (Jalapena)
• Kristen (KristenGehm)
• Kerstin P.

Sephora VIB Wish List

Made with My Memories Suite.  Use the Code to the left to get $10 off!

My Sephora VIB Wish list is much smaller than in years past.  For all intents and purposes, I am on a self-imposed no buy until I can finish a few products.  So what I am looking for at this particular VIB Sale are things I use daily and need to replenish, a few products that I don't have duplicates for, and one special product/package that I am really interested in and see myself getting a lot of use out of.  I do not think I will buy all of the following or even half of it.  My goal is to ponder this list a bit and pick out two or three things.  The necessities and perhaps one non-necessity.

1. Replacement Clarisonic Brush Heads in Sensitive (These are a must have)
2. Josie Maran Argan Oil (hopefully in a set)
3. Too Faced Matte Pallette (I never have enough matte shadows lately)
4. Tarte Lip Surgence Collector's Set of 5
5. Urban Decay Ocho Cinco Eye Liner Set
6. Urban Decay Smoked Pallette
7. Hourglass Hidden Concealer in (I have Pearl for under the eyes) I need to be color matched for face
8. New Skin Cleanser for sensitive skin (TBD...if no cruelty free brands available, may go to 100% Pure as I really like their products)
9. Josie Maran Tinted Moisturizer in Medium
10. Hourglass Shadow duo in Gypsy
11. Tarte Gifted Mascara

If you have any cruelty free suggestions; please leave them in the comments below, email me, or find me on Twitter or FB!

October Favorites 2012

Made with My Memories Suite - Coupon for $10 off located in the left column!

I know it has become cliche' to say that one cannot believe the month is over...but it is so true!  October literally flew by!  It felt like one day I was decorating for Halloween and the next day I was taking it all down.

On to the favorites for the month of October!

October Favorites

Lorac's Unzipped Pallette: I used this pallette this month when I wanted a rose gold neutral eye.  The Lorac shadows in my opinion are creamier and more buttery than any other shadows in my collection with exception only to Hourglass shadows.

Tarte's Royal Edition Pallete: This was a limited edition pallette that I got from QVC last year sometime.  I did just look it up, and there appear to be a few available on ebay and Amazon if you are interested.  There is a great selection of matte's, neutrals, and jewel tones.  I have been using the creams, taupes, light pink, and grays daily this month.  I have also been using a liner brush and lining my top lash line with the sparkly brown shade or the metallic navy shade.  On Halloween I used the purple/violet shade on the top row to accentuate my hazel green eyes.

Tarte Royal Edition Pallette

NARS Bronzer in Laguna: This is not a cruelty free product, but I am working my way through it.  I have just started making a decent dent in it.  I wish NARS would rethink their testing policies because this is one of my favorite bronzers.

Eden Primer Potion: I loved using this yellow based matte eye primer this month, particularly under my matte Tarte shadows.  It literally lasts all day.

Enjoy Conditioning Spray:  If you wash your hair everyday like I do, you may notice your hair start feeling a bit dry.  I have found that using this spray and leaving it in (you can rinse it out if you like) and then braiding my hair or putting it up until it dries, has really added a lot of shine to my hair.

Tarte Blushes: My two favorite blush shades this month are both from Tarte (surprise-surprise!).  The first one is one of my all time favorites, Blushing Bride.  It has a little Bit of shimmer, but when I apply it with my Sephora Platinum #55, I don't see much of that sparkle transfer.  My other favorite blush this month has been Natural Beauty by Tarte.  I have heard a lot of people say "That is too red for me..."  The truth is, it is the most natural "in from the cold" type of flush you can get.  Applying it with a really fluffy brush disburses the bright pigments perfectly.

My three favorite brushes this month were: Sigma F84 angled brush to apply foundation, Sephora Platinum #55 for applying highly pigmented blushes and sheering out the color. Finally there is my all time favorite crease brush, a gift from my dear friend JG, my Smashbox crease brush.

Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer: I have never found another primer that does some color correction (the slight blue cast helps to minimize redness).  The formula really hydrates and seems to tone my dry skin.

Hourglass Veil Fluid Makeup in 2.0: For some reason I have been able to use this darker foundation alone most of the month.  Usually I mix it with my 1.0 shade.  Either way, this foundation formula is absolutely one of my favorites.  I have several backups in the shade 1.5.

My random favorites for this month are:

• Halloween
• My pink, metallic, spider web, witch hat
• The premiere of The Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, and American Horror Story Asylum

My flops for this month:

• Philosophy lip jelly in Vanilla Birthday Cake (much stickier than I remember and the smell was overwhelming)
• An October full of warm/hot weather
