Plum Pearl by Mary Kay Color Shield (29)

This polish is so old, really! I got this when my nana passed away and she got these back in the '97 when she started up her Mary Kay business trying to make money. Well she made no money but had a lot of product. I actually hope that Mary Kay has changed their formula because even after all these years, this polish is still very watery.

Reveiw 8/10

Dry Speed: 2 points- The polish dried well for me. I felt like it was much faster than most.

Application: 2 points- It went on smooth, I did notice that the formula was very watery. This how ever was fixed by using thin coats.

Price: 2 points: This was given to me = free! XD

Wear: 1 point- 3 days of wear before chips were noticed.

Opaque: 1 point- It was a solid color after one coat but I didnt notice the pearl effect, which is really wierd. I partly wondered if I was applying it wrong.

Until next time...

My Beauty Addictions swatchs p.3

I'm slightly behind the ball on swatching these beauts. I have so many samples that I felt over whelmed when I started swatching them. This is five of the ones I own currently. My Beauty Addiction has so many beautiful shadows that I cant but help ordering more samples. Her samples are huge. Ive had them for over 6 months now and I still have so much Im sure I wont run out before the new year. Her colors are supper pigmented. As you can see the top row which is dry are almost as bright as the bottom row which is over Elf eyeshadow primer.
Colors shown are:
Evocative: Orange with a satin finish.
Fiji: Olive green with a satin finish
Hawaii: Light blue with a Satin finish
Heliotrope: Purple based pink with a ton of shimmer to it.
Illegal: Hot pink with a matte finish.

Until next time...

Nymphette's Calendar Challenge 10/16/2011

Ok so I know I'm a day late in all, so sue me. Okay, maybe not. But I promise this is a bit different. So most who did this did makeup look like The makeup Dinosaur. Which is beautiful by the way. I love the complexity of it. I on the other hand did a nail art. No not on my own nails, I figure you guys get enough of my baby nail in my polish reviews. I did this on a nail wheel, kinda cheating but I need a bigger palette to paint on people. Sometimes I get so used to my petite features that when I go to a shoot and do makeup on a normal sized girl I kind of freak out. There is to much skin to make pretty. So here is my Nymphettes "look":

Its a cupcake in case you couldn't tell. I know my art skills are a little on the lame side but they are getting better. N maybe by the end of the year I'll have art worthy off being looked at for more then a few seconds. ;D

Until nest time...

LOTD 10/17/2011 BBC2

This is the second installment of Beauty by Charlie's challenge. I loved this look. I thought this was goin to be a little harder and then when I started setting up my supplies I realized I had a light blue liner! score and so this was quick and easy. I think I'm ready for a harder challenge now. There are only 8 that she has created that I have been able to find! But I keep my eyes open for more each day! I love these kinds of things. Charlies beautiful drawing:

I love this look simple and pretty!

I personally didnt do a thick winged liner, mainly because I have such small lids and I wanted a lot of color to show. I also extended the blue to the end of the wing, trying to extend my eye a little.

I also dressed up the rest of my face. The lip was me just playing around and grabbing a lipstick and gloss that was on top.

Products used:
         Face:
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer (fair to light)
Mary Kay Blush (Azalea)
        Eyes:
Elf Eyeshadow Primer
MBA eyeshadow (Lemon Drop)
Hard Candy Baked Shadow Duo (Bad Reputation)
Jordana Easyliner (mint)
Hardy Candy Take me out liner (abyss)
Maybelline The falsies mascara (Black Drama)
       Lips:
Fashion Lipstick(21)
TG Plumping Lipgloss (light pink)

 I love how my eyes seem so full of color and yet simple.

My Beauty Addictions Lemon drop is so super pigmented its the only yellow that I know of that pops even when its dry! And the lips, I think I've found my new fave color!

Until next time...

Black Creme by Wet n' Wild Wild Shine (28)

So this is a color that is hard to pull off for me. I normally wear a lot of black for my job and the balck polish just makes me look really goth like. Im really not, I smile a lot and like to laugh. I always wear kind of bright makeup as well. So I had to make sure that I wore something bright to counter balance the dark nails because this is really not me. I use this polish a lot though, but its mainly detailing a nail art more than as an all over color.

Review 7/10

Dry Speed: 1 point- Nothing special, dried normal but I did try a new thing where a apply two coats and let it dry, Then I apply my last two coats and that seemed to help me keep from smudging my polish like I always do.

Application: 2points- Went on great and I have already thinned this once but I have had this for over a year.

Price; 2 points- $2 for a polish is great to me.

Wear: 0 points- Chipped on day two. Just a light chip on my left index finger.

Opaque: 2 points- Could have gotten away with one coat but I always do 2 for chipping reasons.

Until next time...

Milani Eye Tech liquid eyeliner

So I got this from my mom. She had used it once and her eyes wouldn't quit watering so this was a no go for her because it was just washed and rubbed off. I have used this a few times already, it doesn't bother my eyes.

From Milani
Full color flow thru system that delivers & defines a perfect line in one stroke. Felt tip nib applicator is easy to use, provides precise control with no skipping or pulling.

From Me:

Felt tip and application.

I have kind of wrinkly skin naturally (runs in the family, ya for more bad genetics) so I always have skipping. And yes this skipped on me. I normally use liner at an angle where the side almost runs flat on my lid rather than use the tip, this helps me creat an even steady line across my lid. Even when I did this it skipped on me and I had to go back and fill it in. On my hand that has taunt skin it went on great. As for the smudging well see for yourself:

I really had to rub once it was dry and it took moisture for it to come off completely.

Untill next time...

The creator of the beauty group Wendi has picked themes for each week for all of beauty obsessed people on facebook. Basicly all you need to do is love makeup, polish, and anything girlly like that to join. Even companies are in the group so if you have a fave company and they post there you can stay on top of sales and stuff like that. Here is my look I kept the eyes POPIN' and everything else natural.

Milani Eye Tech liner (brown)

Close up of opern eye.

  I found that I loved the colors in the palette but it was hard to blend them in together with a primer on. Ive used this palette before without a primer and it went on great.


The best closed eye I had. It was super bright out.

 Until next time...
