So since I was bored, I decided to, you know, post a picture of my wet hair. Isn't beautiful. haha not really. I wish it would grow longer. Anyways, can't you imagine me whipping my hair back and forth.
So my new nails take a spin on candy and spring. The candy represents the end of winter with the beginning of spring. I did these nails probably three weeks ago.
So these would have to be the nail colors that I used. The Art Club Nail Art in Silver Glitter is from Five Below. Just to let you know they also sell Sally Hansen Complete Manicure Nail Polish for $3. That is $6 less than the drugstores, so let's give a thumbs up to Five Below. The colors I used are Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polishes in Lickety Split Lime and Speedy Sunburst. They are really fun spring shades. As for the white on the far white, it is a discontinued color, I think. I'm not even sure if they even CQ nail polishes anymore. Well, the color was French White. Now onto the Nails.
So this is how it looks. The forefinger or ring finger was the reddish-pink color. The pointer probably looks the best. I boxed squares with green and white. I boxed it using the nail art. It came out not too shabby since I don't usually wear nail polish. This wasn't too difficult. I'll like to do some colors with blue and orange for the summer season. Let me see how it goes. Thanks for reading.
So I bought some EOS Lip Balms. I had the SPF 15 Lemon Drop one until my dog chewed it up. Well, it was almost done anyway. I went to Rite Aid recently and bought it in Summer Fruit. I plan to get Anti-Bacterial Tangerine and Honey dew next, so I decided to take a picture of them for you guys.
At first I'm sorry to say that I hated these the first time I bought them. It irritated my lips a made them itch terribly. After awhile, my lips got used to them. If you notice above the Lemon Drop one has some teeth marks. heehee. It has SPF 15 and smelled so good. They both smell SO GOOD. The are very moisturizing, but I noticed that I had to reapply constantly because it would be moisturized while I had it on then my lips would get all dry after it wore off. Out of the two, I'm sorry to say that I like Lemon Drop more than Summer Fruit. I love both of them, but I like Lemon Drop much more plus it has a sun protectant. I give this product a 9.4/10. Purchase them at your drugstore. It was $3.29 at Rite Aid but it was $4.39 at CVS.
I'm not a big fan of dark lipstick or brown lipsticks for the matter unless they're pinkish brown or light brown. For once I tried DARK lipstick, and this is the effect. Btw, the lipsticks used during this mini-photoshoot (I guess) is some NK lipsticks a.k.a cheap lipsticks that you buy at black hair care stores or maybe even the Dollar Store.
So this is way over do. In January, I purchased three items from cherryculture. It took forever for these to come. I was really upset since it was only THREE items. The three items were NYX 10 Eyeshadow Palette in Romance, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, and lastly, NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone.
1. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
I would have to say that I like to use this jumbo pencil for my inner corners of my eyes. Does it work as a good eyeshadow base? I wouldn't know since I didn't use it that way. It doesn't line well since its huge, but I'm curious about the packaging. Is it possible to get more product out or is that all the product has to offer. If it all it has is that, I give it 7/10. If it does have a way to get more product, I'd give it an 8.5/10. I heard that they can crease if you use them as an eyeshadow base, but I can't give you my opinion since I have not tested it.
2. NYX Eyeshadow Palette in Romance
As for this, I must say that I love the colors, but I have more cons than pros. When I bought this palette, the mirror fell out. I was seriously upset. The pigmentation of the colors are okay, but nothing to rave about. Some colors came out sheerer than others. My Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad in Chai Latte is more pigmented than these colors. I also thought the palette would be bigger. I do think the packaging is rather cute (except for the mirror). I give this a 8.2/10
3. NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone
Out of the three items I think I like this one the most. This is an eyeshadow base. It comes in pearl, white, and skin tone. You can also use this as a concealer for those with medium or medium-dark skin tones. It lasts about 4 hours. Its staying power is not the best, but you can wear it alone. It looks amazing. It blends out nicely. If you need more staying power, I would suggest buying UD Eyeshadow Primer and then using this as a cream eyeshadow. I give this a 8.9/10. Thanks for reading my haul and review. :D
