Lancome Up in Smoke Color Fever Gloss

Hey Everyone! This post will be on my all time favorite gloss. Its the Lancome Up in Smoke (love that name!) color fever gloss. Im a big fan of Lancome makeup to begin with and I adore this gloss. To sum it up, its a clear gloss with beautiful shimmer and glitter. The glitter not chunky so you dont feel the glitter pieces on your lips which is a plus. Its perfect for smoky eyes and also when your not wearing alot of makeup, it gives a pop to the face. The applicater is very nice and does a great job. This gloss doesnt have a weird taste or smell which is a very good thing. Also one of my favorite things about it is the packaging! Its sooo cute! And very fancy looking. :P You get .20 oz or 6 grams which lasted me a long time. (This is my second tube!) When i bought the second tube which was a couple months ago it was $26. Over all I love this gloss and when this one runs out I will deffinetly buy another!! Till next time :)

XOXO,
Gabi

Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette

 Hey everyone! Its been awhile since i did a post! Today I'm going to talk about the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer palette. Its Christmas tomorrow and with this palette you have all the colors you need to do a cool eyeshadow look! It comes with 88 eye shadows that range from a white light colors to dark colors and black as you can see in the pictures. They are all shimmer since it is the ultra shimmer palette, but there is a all matte palette if you don't like shimmer. I am more of a shimmer person so i choose this one! The colors are dime sized, but you only need a little bit each time so they will last for a long time! This is great for a beginner who doesn't have very many eye shadows or someone who likes to play around with colors. Most of the eye shadows are really pigmented, but a few for me, were not as pigmented as the rest. My favorites are the black in the palette(its really nice) and the fourth one down from the left. Its a peachy light color with purple reflects which is really pretty! Since all of the shadows are really shimmery, the light colors aren't really good for a highlight (i use a separate shadow)Its also really slim. All in all, i love this palette and i know it will last a long time! I believe i payed $20 on amazon, but its also sold on the coastal scents website. (its only sold online)

XOXO,

BTW, i decorated the outside of my palette so it could be shimmery since this is the ultra shimmer palette. I took Mod Podge(a glue like substance that goes from white to glossy and clear) and mixed it with some glitter and spread it all over the palette.(The outside only, not on the eye shadows) (look @ the last picture)

NYX eyeshadow base with pearl

Hey everyone!

    First let my start by saying Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone has fun with their families and eats good food! I know I'm excited for some turkey! While you are having fun with family and friends you want your eyeshadow to stay put, and for it to stay put you need a good eyeshadow base. I like the NYX eyeshadow base with pearl. It comes in a cute little pot that will probably last me forever because you don't need lots to get the job done. The product is very creamy and loaded with shimmer. I sometimes apply it with my highlight brush but my fingers also do a good job. It looks white, but once you blend it into the skin it just turns into shimmer. You could even use it as an eyeshadow alone! It really keeps your eyeshadow on long and helps it not crease. You can choose from the pearl one like i did, a skin colored one or just a white one. I wanted the skin colored one but it had a funky smell and so i choose the pearl one which has no smell. They cost $6.00 on the NYX website but i got mine at Ulta a while ago and don't remember the exact price. Go to your local Ulta and check the price or go on the NYX website! See ya in my next post! Byee

XOXO,

M.A.C eyeshadow in All That Glitters

Heyy everyone!

      Yay my second blog post! Today I will be talking about my favorite and my first MAC eyeshadow. Its called All That Glitters. Also if you are wondering its a pearl.(on the back it says veluxe pearl)  I got this eyeshadow because its a great begginer color. This is a very pigmented eyeshadow, and the color payoff is excelent. (AKA The color in the pot looks very close to the color on your lid.) Since I like to put it on my lid then take a brown color and put it in the crease, I notice that it blends very well. I get an effortless neutral eye everytime! Whenever I want to do a neutral eye, I reach for this eyeshadow! Its a orangy champane color loaded with shimmer. I hope the pictures below really show the true color because its absolutly beautiful! It comes in MAC's really cute eyeshadow pot, or you can purchase it in a pan if you have a MAC pallete to put it into. I decided to buy the pot since I dont have a MAC pallete. The price that i payed for the pot eyeshadow was $14.50. The price of the eyeshadow in the pan is $11.00. (according to the MAC website :))
Looking forward to my next post! Bye!


XOXO,

OPI Nail Lacquer in Lincoln Park At Midnight

Heyy everyone! I'm really excited since this is my very first post! In this post I'm going to be talking about a new polish i just bought. Lincoln Park at Midnight. Its not a new OPI color, just new in my collection. I have a couple OPI's and i have to say this is my favorite color! I love the brush on the OPI's, which are pretty big. It covers almost the entire nail in one swipe so it makes application a whole lot easier and faster! The color is a dark purple (almost like a wine color to me). It is perfect for the weather now that its started to get cold. Its sparkly, but it doesn't have chunks of glitter. It kind of has some pink undertones to it which makes it even prettier! I love how it looks on my nails! I applied two coats of it and a top coat (Sally Hansen). I have been wearing it for almost an entire week and it still looks pretty good! I know I'm going to be wearing it a lot for these next cold months!(By the way i got it at Ulta for $8.50) Bye!

XOXO,
Gabi <3
