Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow: My FAVE!

So I thought how the heck did I ever forget my favorite eyeshadow quad that I pick up and use ALL the time, literally. This eyeshadow quad is in Chai Latte which contains neutral colors except the goldish color. I love the color pay-off of this quad. It is super pigmented compared to the Covergirl eyeshadow kits. I have two but one of the pan shattered so I can't use it. The cases are pretty flimsy and cheap, but the actual eyeshadow is awesome. These come in singles, duos, trios, and quads. Love these, so if you get the chance pick some up. :D

NYX MINI HAUL (Way over do!)

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

Celestial Nights Nail Polish Look :D

So I decided to paint my nails for the new year. I was going more for a winter look but that would mean using white nail polish which I currently do not have, so I accidentally created this look. When I went to the dentist, she said my nails look celestial. I used L.A. Colors Rock Star Nail Lacquer in Electric Guitar and Wet n' Wild Nail Color in 415A. I do not know the color of the nail polish, but it resembles a navy blue. Nevermind. I found out that the color is called Denim Chrome. I believe these are discontinued, but you can most likely find a color just like this. I like the colors, but they are likely to chip. I would suggest using a top coat. Maybe one from Sally Hansen ;) However, I think my nails look beautiful even if they are short :'( I painted half my nail denim chrome and the other half electric guitar without tilting my nail. That is what I call dedication. I'm not a big nail person, but I'm practicing. Thanks for reading.

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Rose

I really love this color since it's so pink. I've been dying for a Revlon lipstick for awhile now. I'm glad I got this. It's so pretty. The color is Soft Rose. It's really moisturizing. I want to buy mauve next or a nudish color since I don't have a nude. I suggest buying one if you don't have one. I like pairing this with a gloss in the center. I would use my avon lip gloss if I hadn't misplaced it. That means I'm going to have to buy a nother.

Profusion Colour me glow use wet & dry Eyeshadow Palette

This came from five below. My friend gave it to me for Christmas. The colors are also silky due to the petrolatum, mineral oil, and lanolin. They should have put more mica in the eyeshadows. However they tend to rub off easily, so I would suggest using a primer with these shadows. There are 12 shadows in this palette. Again, I don't know how these eyeshadows are on my eyes since I just got this.

L.A. Colors Eyeshadow Palette in 42 Wildflowers!!

L.A. Colors Eyeshadow Palette in Wildflowers is very pigmented on my fingers. However on my arm it didn't come out as pigmented. The case is very hard to open. It takes me awhile to make it work. The shadows are silky probably because of the mineral oil and petrolatum in the eyeshadow. These colors are beautiful especially the last three. I just got this today, so I don't know how long it lasts or if it creases. I'll do an update on that later.

Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss Review!!!

It took awhile for me to get this since I ordered it from my friend's mom. Luckily, I got it befor Christmas. I like it. I get compliments on the color. The picture above with my full-face is not showing itstrue color. The picture with only my lips shows its actual colors. I thought the color would be lighter but I still like it. It feels smooth and not sticky. It lasts about 1-2 hours. The moisture lasts longer than the lip gloss. I give this a thumbs up. I will probably buy Darling Pink and Mauve Movement.

Maybelline EyeStudio Eyeshadows Review!!!

These are Maybelline's new EyeStudio eyeshadows. My first thought. They are AMAZING!!! They are probably the best drugstore pigmented eyeshadow. I swear there is like a gazillion pigments in these shadows. They come out so nice without concealer or primer. They last a long time. The EyeStudio shadows have a good sheen to them. No complaints except the price. If you go to your local drugstore, the plush eyeshadows retail for $9.99 whereas the gleam eyeshadows retail for i think $5.99-$6.99. Luckily, I bought both eyeshadows for 40%off. I just love sales. If you like the product and not the price, just wait until they have it on sale. My Rite Aid has it on sale at least once a month or every two months.

Covergirl 3-kit and 1-kit eyeshadows Review!!

So I swatched the eyeshadows I have. I adore these, but a con about these eyeshadows are that they are not that pigmented on skin. It looks better over primer or concealer. Even more product comes on your fingertips than your actual eyelid. However these colors are gorgeous. I only took colors from the pop collection not the one for a natural look. My favorite out of all of them is purple pop. It was definitely a good investment. They are only $3-$4. So if you have some cash that you have nothing to do with, buy some covergirl eyeshadow. Deuces

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks Review!!!

I like all of these colors, but my favorite one is Blushing Brunette. Warm & Cozy is darker than Blushing Brunette. They are all moisturizing. Each of them lasts 2 hours except for Very Cherry which can last for about 4 hours. The swatches taken are a bit lighter than the actual pictures since I would never wear such light lip colors with my skin tones. I hope to increase my collection of these lipsticks.

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Review!!!

I love these colors since blue and purple are my fave. The nail polish lasts a week. I get a lot of compliments when wearing Marine Scene. The purple one is Purple Potion and the turquoise one is Marine Scene. I bought them at my locale Rite Aid for $3 each. Really hard to take off with nail polish remover. It doesn't want to come off my hands :D

Sally Hansen Complete Manicure Nail Polish in Pomegranate Review!!

I absolutely love this color. It is so cute. I'm a sucker for corals. It usually retails for $8 at a drugstore, but I bought at Five Below for $3. That is what I call a massive save for nail polish. I also did some nail art at the ends instead of the tips. It is in Pomegranate. I don't know how many colors there are, but I would like to buy the yellow and green one. I recommend it.

Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson Review

At first, I was reluctant to buy it, but the gay guy at Macy's convinced me to buy it. I love this fragrance. It smells nice and sweet. It is definitely not overpowering. Everytime I wear it, someone asks, "What smells good?" It was $50 but that included the lotion, roll-on, a bag, and a chocolate rose (or a Queen Latifah Charm Bracelet). I wear it almost everyday. (I wear my Juicy Couture fragrance or Bath and Body Works on other days). I've had it for almost 5 months and it still isn't empty. I really suggest purchasing this. It's a buy you won't regret. Thanks for reading my review.

My Royal Flat Iron Review

This is my Classic Royale Flat Iron in Zebra and so far I must say that I'm impressed. I have thick hair and I have to say thay it does a great job straightening it. It doesn't snag my hair. It has a very high heat setting. It heats up rather quickly. I have no complaints. The only complaint I have concerns my hair dryer. That has to go. You can purchase this flat iron in the mall, at http://www.royaleusa.com/, Amazon, or Ebay. I purchased my flat iron for roughly $80 for my birthday. It comes in vary of colors or prints. Thanks for reading my review.
