Vitamasques lovers… this is not a drill!! Go to your Target now!!!!!

Got all 3 limited edition scents!!! At my Target they were at the $1-5 section. I thought they only had 2 limited edition scents (Berry Popsicle & Lemon Sorbet). The Pistachio Gelato was a nice surprise!
I just tried all of them and it’s so hard to rank! All the scents smell so good, formula is on point…. it’s too hard!! I think Pistachio Gelato is my fav, but I love all of them!!!

Two new pickle snacks!

I found the Jackson’s avocado oil “kettle cooked dill pickle” chips when I was at TJ Maxx. The way they have their lines set up is you go through a kind of snake line and on both sides are products to look at while you’re waiting to check out. I saw the chips as I was waiting in line. Really good crunch, dill flavor is strong! I give it a 4/5!
The second is Sour Punch “Pickle Roulette”. I got these on Amazon because I couldn’t find them anywhere out in the wild. The piece of sour punch that I have on the packaging is the pickle flavored one. The flavor is sweet at first and then the pickle comes in the after taste. It took me two tries to find the pickle. The first one was Apple. I would give these 4.5/5 because the pickle is actually really good candy wise, and you also get other flavors to enjoy as well!

I’m really amateur when it comes to makeup, actually below amateur. I only wear eyeshadow, brow wax, mascara, and lip gloss. I experiment a lot with my eye makeup. I have cancer, it’s under control atm and I don’t have to do chemo and haven’t since 2021, but I technically still have cancer. I was diagnosed in 2017. My tumor was the shape of a grape fruit, and now it’s smaller than a pea. I can’t get surgery and remove it because of where it is and my oncologist said that it’s so small that more chemo wouldn’t do anything. So since 2021 I haven’t been on chemo and instead I’ve just been getting a PET/CT scan every 6 months to make sure it hasn’t grown, spread, etc. Sorry for all that I just had to explain my cancer because before my cancer I used to have the most natural long eyelashes. Before I didn’t ever have to wear mascara. I would just curl them and they were so pretty. Ever since stopping chemo my hair isn’t as thick as it was. I used to have super thick long hair, my brows were filled in, and I had really long eyelashes. Now the reason for asking if I need fake eyelashes… when I wear makeup I’m experimental with my eyes. I use color and glitter. So when I put mascara on and curl my lashes it doesn’t really do anything. It gets lost in my eye makeup. When my eyelashes were growing back they were so thin and short. I started using a castor oil serum for my eyelashes and they have grown, just not how they were before. So these looks are all from this year and the last one is what I look like bare face. I literally don’t take selfies… I personally think I’m ugly and I get triggered when I take bare face selfies. I also don’t really take selfies when I have makeup on. I do take videos though so some of the pics are screenshots from videos and a few are actual selfies.
Can anyone give me tips for my eyelashes? I just want to look like i actually have eyelashes lol.

Have any of you tried Kara Beauty lip products? It’s a makeup brand based in Los Angeles circa 2011. Their products are cruelty free and vegan. At first I found my first product that I LOVE by them which is the “Level Up” lip gloss in shade “Hologlam”. I found it at a Japanese boutique at the mall. I LOVE glitter and had been trying to find some glitter lip gloss that actually works. Works and doesn’t feel gritty or harsh on the lips because of the glitter. When I bought the “Level Up” lip gloss I FINALLY found a lip gloss that was nourishing, had a good formula, AND the glitter actually stayed on and you can see it! At the boutique they only had the one lip gloss in the shade “hologlam” which is a clear lip gloss with colored glitter. I looked up the brand on the internet and saw that they had a website and that they are based in LA! I ended up getting 2 more of the “Level Up” lip glosses in “Virtual” (a light red with glitter) and “NPC” (a baby pink with glitter). Now I know these aren’t lip balm/products, but I also ended up getting the Mega Glitz 42 pan eyeshadow palette and the Electric Disco 30 pan eyeshadow palette. The only makeup I wear is eyeshadow/eyebrows/lips. I have always experimented with eye looks and always get compliments and ask what brand I’m wearing. People are always shocked or don’t know of the brand. Another reason I LOVE and vouch for Kara Beauty is their price points. The “Level Up” lip glosses are $9. A literal steal for how good the product is. I’m on my 4th “Level Up” in “Hologlam”. I have the one that I’m currently using at the way bottom with the other shades, and I got a brand new one with the other lip products I decided to try out on the top row of lippies. The Mega Glitz palette is no longer sold, but I believe it was $20 something. The Electric Disco is still on their site and is $23. They have so many other cool palettes. I recently got some goodies from Kara Beauty and I got the mini 9 pan palette “Glitter Gala Face” for $14 and then decided to look in their lip section 1) to get another “Level Up” Hologlam, and see what else they had. The top row of lippies is what I ended up getting. Starting from the left: Lip Syrup “moisturizing peptide therapy” in Cozy Mint. The reason I have the Eadem lip balm in the pictures is because OMG the Lip syrup from Kara Beauty feels and looks exactly the same as Eadem. I was SO SHOCKED. They’re $12.50 compared to Eadem’s $24. Don’t get me wrong I still love my Eadems to death, but I was so surprised how similar the two are. I HIGHLY suggest ya’ll to try Kara Beauty’s Lip Syrup if you want to save money or try a new product that is similar to Eadem. Now that I know I love the Lip Syrup next time I get paid I’m getting more! The next two by the Lip Syrups are pH lip glow oils. The first one I got is in “Sheer Iridescent” and the second is “Sheer Rose”. The price on these are only $9! I’m just going to copy and paste from the site: “PH Glow Lip Oil is a pH-adjusting lip oil that creates a custom tint while delivering high-shine, non-sticky hydration with Vitamin E and citrus junos extract.” And yes it checks all the boxes! Next to the pH lip oils is my favorite “Level Up” in Hologlam. $9 price point. Then the two next to “Level Up” are “Jelly Much?” a hydrating lip oil. I am telling you the formula for these are amazing. They feel so good on the lips, if you like your lips to shine then these do the trick! I got “Watermelon Glow” and “Honey Glow”, again these are $9! I just wanted to share this brand because they are my secret affordable options and I haven’t seen anyone talk about them in the sub as of yet. I also wanted to share their eyeshadow palettes because I LIVE off these. If you like glitter and you’re creative with your eye makeup definitely give their palettes a shot. There are a bunch of options. Also Kara Beauty is a full on makeup brand, not just eyeshadow and lip products. I believe their prices are the best in the game and I haven’t been disappointed by any of my purchases. I especially wanted to share their “Lip Syrup” and compare it to Eadem’s lip balms. Half the price and to me if I were blindfolded I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. They’re that similar! I have 3 Eadem’s… Butter Mochi (clear), Burnt Malali- Toasted Caramel (light brown), and Chateu Rose (light pink). The Lip Syrup by Kara Beauty I have is in Cozy Mint which is clear. Next purchase I’m thinking of getting: Milky Peachy, Mauve Berry, and Deep Rose. There are other lip products that I’m also interested in by Kara Beauty now that I’m looking at their site rn and that’s “Sugar Coat Shimmer Lip Balm” $7, “Flora Tint - Tinted Lip Balm” $10, “Bubble Babe Juicy Gloss stick” $9, and try other shades of their “pH glow lip oil”, and “Jelly Much?” hydrating lip oil.

I know this was a lot to read and thank you if you finished reading the whole thing lol. My question is have any of you tried Kara Beauty’s lip products before? If so, what do you think of it? And if you’ve never tried Kara Beauty before are you now interested? No this isn’t an ad or anything like that, I’m just really happy with my last Kara Beauty purchase (lip syrup, 2 pH lip glow oils, my OG “Level Up” glitter lip gloss, 2 Jelly Much? hydrating lip oils, and Glitter Gala Face 9 pan eyeshadow.
