Expert Last NYC lip color in Forever Fuchsia

I really like this color it goes on smooth and looks great. I really am glad to have recieved it in my Uni Vox Box.

OPI by Sephora What Aura You Going to Wear

Now I bought the women's fragrance sampler because I am very partial to tiny perfume bottles and because it is an incredible deal. For $50 you get 6 mini perfume bottles, a nail polish and a full size bottle of perfume of your choice. I got 15% off mine because I am a VIB at Sephora. YAY.

The Nail polish that came with the set is called What Aura You Going to Wear. I will be swatching it in this post and will be talking about the perfume set itself in another post.

The color is a very vibrant bright pink. It goes on almost gel like. It is extremely shiny and gorgeous. I still have it on and normally I don't leave swatches on that long.

Eye Kandii Cosmetics - First Indie makeup review

Today I have the pleasure of showing off some makeup I bought off Etsy.

The shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/EyeKandiiCosmetics. I was searching for samples and kits to try out some small companies makeup and start writing about smaller brands and give me the chance to play with things I haven't had the chance to enjoy when I ran across her shop and picked up some samples because I liked the colors. I got a eye shadow sample grab bag that contained baggie samples and a product. Now I'm a sucker for surprises and since I'm wanting to try things I thought why not go this route and let her be my first review.

I got the products really quickly. They were waiting for me after work less then a week after I ordered. I was excited and opened the envelope. To my excitement there were lots of goodies to enjoy. I got a blush, a lip gloss, an eye shadow and samples. Not all the samples are labeled but that's fine by me. I can't wait to try them all. wear it on my lips for a full day.. but trust me that day is coming. :D

So first off we have the lip gloss. It is called Coral Kiss Lip Treatz Vinyl Lip Gloss. I am in love with the color. In the container it looks Neon Pink. If you know how much I love neon you'd be excited too. Here's a swatch of the color. I LOVE IT. It looks like shiny glossy lipstick. It comes off clean. I like the feeling of it. It feels moisturizing. I haven't gotten the chance to wear it on my lips for a full day.. but trust me that day is coming. :D

Next is the Jelly Bounce Blush in Honey Tan. Right off the bat I know it is far to dark for me as a blush. The color is almost a bronze color, very pretty. It seems to dry quickly so I can't use it as a eye shadow which I sometimes do with blush. I use everything for everything, lol.. but I might use it as a highlighter for myself. It has a nice creamy texture and feels soft going on. I really like it. The container I got is 20g and contains Vitamin A and E. So I like it and will find a use for it for sure. Not the best picture.

Next up is the eye shadow I got. The color is green and it is called Mojito. I already like it. LOL. The jar is completely full glad I didnt have it tipped when opening.. Haha. I'm bad about that. The color going on is a light shimmery green (dry) or a more neon looking light green over primer. (I used Elf eyelid primer.) The picture on top is the primed eye shadow and the bottom is the dry eyeshadow by itself.

I'm not going to do the samples today. Since I don't have any mini ziploc baggies to put them in once I cut them, so there will be another post on them.

Over all I am extremely pleased with what I purchased and I can see more eye shadow and lip vinyl in my future. I can't wait to try other colors out.

So go over and check out her shop, it's worth the money and you are helping someone pays bills and thats a good thing :)

Wet N Wild Mega Brilliance Lipgloss in Crushed Grapes - Review

Wet N Wild Mega Brilliance Lipgloss in Crushed Grapes

I am always grabbing lipglosses, lipsticks, lipbalms whenever I can. Literally far too often, I enjoy finding new colors, new flavors, and new ways to treat my lips to a good time.

The other day while I was out, I saw this one on sale and just had to give it a try, sparkly, pink, and super shiny. Cheap and bright pink, how could I not. So I bought it and found that I love it.

I like the feeling of it on my lips, its like most lipglosses slightly sticky. That's about the only thing I dislike about lipglosses, so I can't really complain about the stickiness of one lipgloss since its a normal thing throughout the lipgloss world. The lipgloss smells so good. I love lipglosses that smell great. This lipgloss smells like Grapes.. so I am in love.

It's not very bright but I like the color its barely there and looks good as a shiny lipgloss. Maybe not really pink at all.. but I have learned that with a lot of lipglosses they are more shine then color. So mixing this with a nice pink lipstick can make for a beautiful sparkly shiny lip color.

If you want some cheap shine this is definitely a color to pick up.

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm

I am in love with this new lip balm. It's straight up amazing. There are 6 different types and they all smell incredible. I have in my hand at this moment the Cherry Me flavor. It smells like cherry candy and leaves your lips feeling super moisturized.

The 6 flavors are:

Quenched, Peppermint, Cherry Me, Grape Vine, Pink Punch, Peach Kiss.

This isnt your basic lip balm. It hydrates your lips and leaves them smoother and less cracked. The lipbalm has SPF 20 in it to protect your lips from UV. The company claims 8 hour hydration, now I'm not really certain on that because I use it quite often through out the day. Maybelline also states that after 4 weeks, your lips and visibly renewed and reborn. I use too many products I think to ever really know for sure.. but I like the way it makes my lips feel and I love the smell of it.

You can be certain I will be picking up the rest of them over time. I truly recommend them, they are in a class all of their own.

NYC's In a New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish

Today I found 2 colors by NYC's In a New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish

I found Pumpkin and Greenwich Village

I am like how smooth they go on and especially how quickly they dry.

Here is some swatches.. I'll put up better pics when I can take some.

Pumpkin is the Orange - its sparkly up close, I only put on one coat, i might do a second coat later to see if it gets brighter. Its not very bright unless you are up close.

Greenwich Village is the bright pink. It is almost a neon color and very pretty.

I like both colors and soon will start designing more exotic looks.

Enjoy!!

Update: Things I am learning about myself.. I am way too hard on my nails. They are all chipped up after about 5 hours out and about and an hour of swimming.

But this says something for NYC nail polishes - they stood up in a swimming pool. That is not something that every nail polish can say.
