♥NYX Concealer In A Jar (CJ04 Biege)♥


This is not only a concealer but an eyeshadow base! A great one. I'd say even better than NYX eyeshadow bases, because the consistency is creamy and helps your eye shadows adhere better because it is slightly tacky. I had no problems with creasing and my eye shadows last all day well into the evening. They come in 13 shades.

♥Recommendations♥
To apply to eyelids you will need a concealer brush. You can use your fingers to then even out the coverage, apply the same as you would with regular use, and voila! You can start applying your eye shadows.

NYX Girls Round Lip Gloss Swatches!!


Sparkle & Soap Opera Queen


Sparkle


Soap Opera Queen

I got two of the NYX round lip glosses in Soap Opera Queen & Sparkle. These are two of the most sparkly glosses of the collection (now discontinued).
These glosses are pretty enough to wear alone or to wear over your favorite lipstick or lip liner colors. Although the colors are pretty, I do not like the thin consistency of these gloss colors.
Retail: Two for $5.50

L.A. COLORS 5 COLOR METALLIC EYESHADOW: EP22 TEASE




This is the second 5 color metallic eyeshadow palette I have bought from L.A. Colors, and I am still in awe of the pigment and blend ability. If you do not have these palettes I highly suggest you get at least one and try them out. You can't beat the price for this kind of quality. Blends well with other brands as well. Above are swatches of the colors in the order seen in the palette.

Nail Color Of The Week: Kleancolor Nailpolish #104 Fashionista


This color is a pretty matte olive green color, gotten lots of compliments on this color! The name of the polish is funny cause of the color.

Price Paid: $1.00 Online Price: $3.49 Shipping: $10.00
Rating: 5 stars
Recommendations:
A base, and shiny top coat. Looks better on short to medium nails.
Where to shop: Kleancolor.com

Spotlight: Jordana Matte Lipstick #50 Scarlet Red



I just purchased this lipstick at a quarter of the price I paid for the Revlon Matte Lipsticks in Really Red, and In The Red (Coming Soon). This color has more orange in it and is more creamy and a bit more sheer. But overall it is a beautiful color, great deal for the price (I paid $1.49), especially if you do not want to pay $8.99 for Revlon's Matte Lipstick. This color is definitely more wearable and less dry.

Revlon Matte Lipstick: 006 Really Red




This matte lipstick by Revlon is awesome, it is matte, but is not dry, and it lasts for hours on end. Perfect color if you are going for a classic pinup look, or just going out for the evening. Of course, I would also wear it during the day. Warning: It is a very bold red, I give this color, 5 out of 5 stars
Recommendations: for best color & look pay off make sure lips are not dry, cracked, or chapped. If they are prep lips by exfoliating and applying lip balm before bed, the day before application.

The Look: Bonfire



Look created using L.A. COLORS 5 COLOR METALLIC EYESHADOW palette, in EP42 Wildflowers, E.L.F. Eyelid Primer, Prestige Liquid Eyeliner in Black, and Almay Pure Blends Mascara in Black.

L.A. COLORS 5 COLOR METALLIC EYESHADOW: EP42 WILDFLOWERS



I was pleasantly surprised by this high pigmented, beautiful color palette, I have been dissapointed by L.A. COLORS in the past and did not know what to expect, although I had my eye on these palettes for a while I still was skeptical so I checked out some reviews on it, and thought I would give it a try and boy was I. The palette that I picked out is called EP42 Wildflowers $2.99. For the amount of product you get, the pigmentation, and the price. This is truly a steal, and a makeup guru's best kept secret. 5 out 5 stars!!
Disclaimer: For best results please use an eyeshadow base or eyelid primer, and a eyeshadow brush, results may vary. Recommended eyeshadow base: NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk $2.99 @ Ulta.com/Cherryculture.com.
Recommended eyeshadow primer: E.L.F. Eyelid Primer $1.00 @eyeslipsface.com
