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,
