Color Tattoos!!!!

FINALLY!!! ahhhh these colors are GORGEOUS! 
 Tough as Toupe (top left), Bad to the Bronze (top right ), Boho Gold (bottom left), Barely Branded (bottom right)

these colors are all so buttery and smooth! They last so long on the eyes and are all so nice and shimmery! The only limited edition is the Barely Branded which is from the metal line. I heard that it is also like the barely beige yet it is lighter and less champagne/pinky.

Definitally pick up some! they are 6-9$ (walmart is 6 and cvs is 9)

Dislike Covergirl Intense Shadow Blast

i know what you thinking! this product is amazing! but I first bought this product with high standards so maybe thats why it is a dislike.
 So this is the Covergirl Intense Shadow Blast in 800. It is a primer and shadow in one
 the applicator is okay. i like it because it is soft and flexible but dislike it because the application is thick and uneven
 The color is gorgeous for a whole eye color.
from this swatch you can see that it really is uneven.
Dislikes: uneven application, very oily, creases, wears away after a few hours, thick
likes: pretty color, applicater is soft, alot of product

overall i give this product a C+ you can apply this with your finger for a less thick and even application but it still is very oily (not recommended for oily girls like me!) and does crease.
comment if you ever had a product not worth the hipe!

DISLIKE Nyc Eyeliner

i bought this product with the intention that it brighten up my inner corner because just eyeshadow wont show up with my tan skin. 
 I would hurt my eye trying to get the product on and it would just remove my eyeshadow and when i would try to blend it in it would just fade away
 even trying to put this on the waterline is impossible because the pigmentation is horrible.
Overall i am totally dissatisfied with the NYC Kohl Eyeliner Pencil (in white) because it is super unpigmented and not smooth and buttery like a good eyeliner should be

comment below what your favorite and worst eyeliner is!

Benefit 'Bad Gal Lash'

I recently got this travel size mascara from benefit and i am loving it! It really amps up the volume! I believe that it retails for around 10$ (the travel size!) and i just got it from the jet-set kit (comment if you would like to see a review on the whole set!) 

The full size mascara would be easier to use because as you can see the mascara head is super long and the is barely any stem space so the lid has to get really close to my eyes to apply. You can build up coats to apply a lot and it would look great! it is very thick(the formula) so be weary for clumps!

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara!

This it most definitally a like! 
 The formula is great. It really lives up to its expectations! When i put it on my lashes feel really flexible and smooth. No clumps and no smudging! It is the regular formula and in black.
The brush is really nice and flexible too. Their is a little part on the stem of the wand that is flexible to it doesn't tug on the lashes. The brustles are flexible as well and really long and slightly curved

I overall really enjoy this mascara and it lasts all day the only downside is that it takes forever to take off even with waterproof eye remover! Comment what your favorite mascara is!

LIKE Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy

So it finally came in the mail<3 my urban decay Midnight Cowboy! I got it on urban decay.com for 6$ because all vintage eyeshadow are on sale<3



 Its such a pretty pinky champagne color!
 very flaky and doesn't stay on my eyes all day :( but with good primer it should stay!
 This reminded me alot of sidecar and sin from the Naked palette
They all look alike but their all very pretty in their own ways!

GO BUY SOME CHEAP UD MAKEUP NOW!!

DISLIKE elf cream eyeliner

Hey Guys! So Lately i have been really into cream eyeliners so i decided to try the Elf ones because their cheap. Big mistake :P

 as you can see after scraping at it many times it just doesn't budge.... it is sooo dry! (BTW this is the purple color)
 SOO un pigmented and doesn't even show up on my eyes
 So i decided to make do with what i had and softened it up with my lamp... this worked fairly well and allowed it to be more creamy
 This worked out and really softened it up! The color went on sooo much smoothly so i decided not to throw this out but just make do with it. Also it takes quite a scrubbing to get it off so it will last a few hours!
 So i ordered two the purple one and 'Ivory' a white shimmer.
 EXTREMELY dissappointed with ivory... it came like this -__-
 Completely destroyed and half missing.... and did NOT come off at all... the brush didn't get a thing on it
So i softened it up and this is all i mamaged to get.. netherless i threw it out immediately.. such a bummer too -_- so beware if you are ordering these online because they can be crap
Ill try out more and keep u posted! i so far love the sephora cream ones (10$) They work amazingly!

Color Tattoo 'Tough as Taupe' Like?

Hey Guys Again! So i wanted to show another eyeshadow! This one is the Color Tattoo by Maybelline in the color 'Tough as Taupe'


 I was suprised on how dark the color was
 Very strong and a matte finish
 It isn't that pigmented as i thought on my eye but you can definitaly build up the color! (BTW i used ELF primer)

I added a small wing and again it is not that pigmented with just a few swipes

So i liked this color but was suprised at the color! Very nice tho and would last a long time!

Bare Minerals Heart Eyeshadow Like?

Hey Guys! so i decided to show you this new Bare Minerals eye shadow 'Heart' 

 So this is it in the container
 First i applied ELF eye primer to see the eye shadow as pigmented as it could be!
 So i was very suprised to find out that their is barely any color to this when it is put on... on certian lights it looks pink but in regular lights it is just shimmer... :/ It would lookk good with a crease color or a wing!
 Shimmer but no color!

So i added a basic wing and it looks like a finished look now, i didn't want to add any mascara because i didn't feel like scrubbing it off my eye! So i was disappointed when i put it on because of the lack of color but it still has a nice shimmer so i would call it a 'Like?' :)

So i hope you liked this, comment below if you want to see more!

Bare Minerals Birthday Gift!

So two weeks ago was my birthday so I recieved a free eyeshadow from Bare Minerals!(: Because i am signed up for FAB (friends and benefits) i got a email telling me i could pick up a free eyeshadow from a boutique! So i drove 50min to the nearest mall which had a boutique to find out that they were out of the color i got for my birthday :P
But the lady was so nice and let me pick out of 4 different colors they had to give out (for other birthdays and stuff) So i picked out heart! It is such a beautiful shade and i love all the shine in it! (I could pick out a sandy color, Chameleon a blue color, a red/pink shade, or heart<3) So thats all i picked up at the bare minerals store but i am super satisfied with the color! It is a gorgeous color and free:)!! 




mind you that my arm is very tan! (Italian :)) so this color isn't well represented in this swatch... but it is beautiful and super shiny! love this color!!

-stay beautiful<3 and check out FAB!

Walking On Eggshells!

So i just picked up this trio from Five Below and i love it! It has a perfect pink champagne shade, warm brown and white shade! I also heard that this light pink color is a dupe for Stilas Kitten! Also they are perfect dupes for 3 mac colors (Shroom, Cork and Naked Lunch!) Only 3$ too! You can get other trios at 5 Below too
 this is the Walking on Eggshells trio
 The colors come on nice and buttery! And they are well pigmented
 the colors swatched on my arm (no primer)
 click to zoom in on the colors! (no flash)
 these are my other trios Knock on Wood, Im Getting Sunburnt and Walking on Eggshells
