Maybelline and Neutrogena Haul!

So I've been getting all sorts of new makeup lately, and I've fallen in love with these newish quads Maybelline has put out. Everything is so shiny and sparkly and pigmented and the colors are amazing.

They also came out with some limited edition stuff which included MORE COLOR TATTOO SHADOWS! I'm a girl obsessed!

Alright. Let's get down to the photos!

 Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige

 Maybelline Color Tattoo in Mossy Green

 Swatches of Mossy Green and Barely Beige

Barely Beige is a new favorite. It makes a great base for any and all shadows and stays on forever!

These next two are Eye Studio quads by Maybelline.

 Package and swatches of the limited edition Olive Martini

The third color is this amazing brown/blue that changes color depending on how you look at it!

This quad is Smoky Night.

Dark bronze, purple, blue and black.

The purple is actually more purple looking in real life, and the blue is less gray and more blue in real life. Silly camera.

Next up: I had coupons for some Neutrogena products and I've never had any before so this was interesting. I decided to go for a new blush and a lipgloss.

So far, the blush looks really sheer on my cheeks, but that was without foundation underneath. I like the gloss. It's a nice sheer pink color and not too sticky.

Finally, I haven't had colored mascara in a long time, and Maybelline came out with some recently so I just had to.

Did you really expect me NOT to get teal?

More to come in clothing and makeup! Fall is coming!!!

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

I just got the new magnetic nail polish from Sally Hansen and didn't expect it to work...

Well, it DID!

Completing the Collection and New Stuff

So I finally got "Too Cool" from Maybelline Color Tattoo and now I have all ten of them!!

There's also some new Maybelline eye shadows. I love their newish sparkly quads!

Too Cool in the package, with the lid off, and swatched. It looks really good by itself for a quick sheer summery look and also makes a great inner corner highlight!

I got a new eyebrow pencil. This one is thinner than the Wet N Wild one I had been using and it's waterproof! My brows look more natural now!

Maybelline Eye Studio Quad with silver glitter, Amethyst Ablazed!!

They didn't name the individual colors... But they're all sparkly and BEAUTIFUL!

 Swatched. Primer on top and bare on bottom. I'm disappointed in the pigmentation of that lightest purple shade.

Here are all the swatches with the glitter over them like you see in the ads. SO pretty. Now I have a decent purple or 4 to go over that Color Tattoo!

Looks like I love Maybelline a bit! hahaha!

Stay tuned!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection: Almost Complete!

All I have to get is the white one and I'll have all 10!

 Bold Gold!

And a swatch.

This looks amazing on the eyes!

And yesterday on a shopping trip to Walmart I bought two more.

 Audacious Asphalt

 Bad To The Bronze

 And swatches!

All three look great together in one eye look. I wore them yesterday, bronze in the middle third, gold in the inner third and asphalt on the outer third with a little extra in the outer V. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture.

Some hauls coming up soon! Claire's and Walmart!

Til next time!

Sleek MakeUp IDivine ACID Palette!!!

THE BEST THING EVER CAME IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY!

The Sleek MakeUP iDivine Acid Palette

Here's my unboxing/first impressions video:

I'm just a bit excited... :D

So heres the cardboard box the palette came in. its PINK on the inside!!

Here's the palette case! :D

And here are the colors!!! A matte duo-chrome raspberry/purple, matte white, matte neon yellow, matte neon orange, shimmer blue, lighter shimmer blue, matte purple, matte olive green, matte neon pink, matte neon green, shimmer grey, matte black.

Holy big swatches, Batman!!

I thought you'd want to see those the most...

Same order as I listed them: left to right, top to bottom.

The top row is with eyeshadow primer. the $1 ELF kind.

The bottom row is with NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (white) as a base.

These colors definitely need a base to stick to and for the colors to really pop like they should.

In my opinion, the white kind of sucks, and the shimmer shadows are easier to get full color out of.

Here's what I experimented with today for the first time. orange in the inner half, pink on the outer half and blended in the middle with white as the highlight, a tiny bit of that raspberry on the lower lash line.

I would have gone like, full monty crazy but I was leaving to go watch my nephew have swim lessons.

LOOK HOW BRIGHT!

I wonder if they glow in the dark/under UV light?

More looks to come from this palette here and on my youtube channel!

Edit: Another experimental look!

Neon yellow and green on top with a tad of the light blue in the outer corner.

Light blue used as liner underneath with NYX jumbo pencil in Milk

Thrift Haul!

So I went to a resale shop called ReRuns yesterday afternoon and came back with some REALLY good finds!

Ok this isn't the first thing I found but it was the first thing I tried on in the dressing room. It's more pinky in the next picture. It was a two piece shirt and skirt set. I've been looking for something to wear to an outdoor September wedding.

There's that color! It was a bit scratchy and I didn't like the shoulder pads. So I didn't get it.

CRAZY SHORTS!!!! The pink ones were one size too big and the lime green were two sixes too big but I had to try them on to see if I could tailor them to fit. I decided no. but NEON COLORSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

I also found this office desk object randomly. I saw one of my fave youtubers use it for makeup palettes. It works pretty well for mine! :)

Sorry for the blur.

$1 hat!!!

I never find cute stuff in my size!!! I'm going to wear this to the wedding with a black skirt :)

This was adorable too! both of the sales ladies loved it as well. I know I look pregnant or something.. the bottom is just really flowy.

June 26 update: I went to Salvation Army and found a bathrobe! I don't have to spend all that time making one that possibly could be horrible! yaaaay!

I got a little red on my shoulders from walking today. and tons of freckles.... only on my shoulders.. hahhaa.

Rainbow Summer Nails!

Get Ready for Rainbow Colors!!!

I used the damp sponge technique found on many youtube channels. Here's one for example.

Of course mine didn't turn out that amazing, but with practice, I'm sure I'll get it down to a science. Yay science!

I followed the steps on the video but I used these colors from my collection:

Sally Hansen "Frutti Petutie", Finger Paints "Tiffany Imposter" and Pure Ice "Wild Thing"

Not as blended as I would have liked...

Close up!!

THE CLAWWWWW! ;)

Off to get ready for my niece's 2nd birthday party!! XD
