Easy Tribal Nail Art for Beginners!

I hope you liked it guys! This is actually my first time ever attempting to do this nail art and I never thought I could make it in the first place! I'm no way a professional manicurist or something(I just really like doing my nails lol)  but clearly this can be achieved by a beginner! I did not do any intricate designs and I don't think you have to! Mine's turned out pretty good and all I drew were diagonal lines and dots! It's so simple yet looks deceiving to the eyes! TRY IT OUT GUYS!

Bareminerals 5 in 1 Bb Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow Swatch and Thoughts

Hi guys! 

Today I'll give you my thoughts on the new Bareminerals 5 in 1 Bb advanced performance cream eyeshadow. Since I'm not sure which shade this in, I'll just describe what it looks like.haha. This is a taupe-y brown shade that is shimmery when you blend it thoroughly. It's so weird because when you apply it, you can't see the gold flecks of shimmers and it looks harshly  opaque! Also, I find that the longer you blend it, the more shimmery it gets! I might be crazy or what...

This comes in a tube and has a flat doe foot applicator and trust me when I tell you that a little goes a looong waaay!!! This last all day however I noticed that it creases on my eyelids even with a primer on...maybe it's only because my eyelids are oily... 

So have you tried this yet?! Comment down below. :)

See ya later!

Buxom's Full-On Lip Cream swatch in Mudslide

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be showing you Buxom's full-on lip cream in the shade Mudslide. This lip gloss has a minty scent and when you apply it, it tingles on your lips and gives you the sensation or the "illusion" of plumper lips! The tingling sensation lasts pretty long and I actually enjoy it. If you don't like pepperminty feeling and tingles, then this may not be for you. 

This is a mauvey neutral pink that suites everyone. It has a doe-foot applicator like many other lip glosses out there. Also, this is not full on pigmented which doesn't bother me because I like topping this on top of my nude lipstick. 

Have you tried this yet?

Bhcosmetics 11-piece Polka-Dot Brushes Review

Hi guys!

Today I will be reviewing bhcosmetics' 11-piece Polka-Dot brushes and how well they perform! These brush set comes in a tube storage thing that is pink with black polkadots! I'm not going to lie but I personally bought this set because of the cute packaging! This originally cost around $23-24 but bhcosmetics always have sales on so I suggest waiting on those and get a better deal out of it. Anyway, these brushes are sooooo SOFT!!! I cannot even imagine that I only paid almost half the price that this usually retails! These brushes are as soft as Crown brushes!(or even softer!) I really like this set! You get many brushes for such an affordable price!

The only DOWNSIDE is that the pencil brush and the powder brush shed like crazy especially the pencil brush. This happened when I washed them all.

Otherwise, I would recommend this product. Not to mention its cuteness. :)

ItsJudyTime Palette Swatches & My Thoughts

Hi everyone!

So today I'll be showing you guys the swatches of ItsJudyTime Pallete from bhcosmetics! Bhcosmetics collaborated with Judy and she came up with these 12 eyeshadows that range from neutral to purples and blue ("jewel tones" as bhcosmetics describes it). This actually came out months ago and I just got my hands on these recently.hehe (I'm a fan of Judy by the way:p)

Now, right off the bat these eyeshadows look gorgeous! There are 3 matte shades, 3 satin shades, and the rest are shimmery or metallic. I think these are very pigmented and blendable. The purple and the periwinkle blue may be on the sheer side but you can definitely build it up and it won't look cakey or anything.

Overall, I love this pallete! It's affordable, blendable, buildable and not to mention the shades are right up my alley! I don't know about the blues and purple though..haha. This is great for everyday eye look especially for school and work.

Have you checked this out yet?

Buxom's full-on Lipstick in Dolly

     Hi there!

    So today I'm going to show you Buxom's lipstick in the shade Dolly. I got this off of Sephora and I did a blog post about my haul if you haven't check that out. This is from a new limited edition that Buxom came out with the focus on the shade Dolly.(probably because this is their best-selling shade) Anyway, this is a mauvey pink that is like "your lips but better". It's just gorgeous and you can pretty much pair it with anything! However, I don't know about you guys but it kinda turns into a purply tone pink..WAT! Nevertheless, this made me feel that I am capable of venturing out of my comfort zone. Needless to say that I've been wearing this for weeks and I just notice the purple tone yesterday...meaning I didn't care what and how I looked like! I guess it depends whether you have pigmented lips or not(which I do). Haha
