Mail Call!

I am super excited that this came in the mail the other day! I am in love with Sugarpill Cosmetics! If you're interested in seeing what I got then keep on reading.....

First off, I was able to snag the new Heart Breaker Palette! The colors are amazing and just like any other Sugarpill eyeshadow they are SUPER pigmented and blend so nicely. I cannot wait to try out new looks with this. I have the Burning Heart Palette and I swapped the Sweetheart Palette which I am regretting, and when I tried to buy a new one they were sold out =( boo! The packaging is just like the other 2 palettes except the front is blue. This little palette costs $34, I think or at least somewhere around that price range. 

Rating:
Pigmentation: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Price: $$
I would definitely repurchase this if I ever hit pan!


Next I finally snagged Bulletproof single shadow! Every time I went to the site to buy it, they were always sold out. Again, I love the pigmentation and how lovely it blends. By far Sugarpill is my HG for wonderfully bright fun colors. I am going to start working on getting all their pigments next =D That is how much I love them lol. 
Rating:
Pigmentation: 5/5
Packaging: 5/5
Price: $
Will definitely buy again!

I also got a sample of the Chromalust in Magpie! It's this gorgeous shimmery dark blue color, love it!

Here are all the swatches in natural daylight.

Project Use Up for April and May


So I have been attempting to use up a good chunk of my face products. For the past 2 months I have been able to use up a good chunk of it. Left to right I have used up, 

Sonia Kashuk Brush Cleaner I don't care for this product at all. The smell is a bit too overbearing for me when I use my brushes. It is also hard to get out the soapy residue sometimes. I won't be buying this again.

Sephora Daily Brush Cleaner I freaking love this product! I love the way it smells. It makes my brushes feel nice after they're cleaned with this on a daily basis. I got the small one just to try it out and now I am going to purchase the bigger sized bottle as soon as I can get to a Sephora store. 

The rest are a bunch of mark. face products. I didn't care for them at all but I wanted to use them up and not waste money. They didn't do much for my face. So I won't be purchasing them again. 

Thanks for reading, until next time take care!

Massive Collective Nail Polish Haul


Lately I have been highly into upping my nail polish collection, so over the past couple of weeks I have just been going nail polish crazy! If you're interested in seeing what I got and where I got it from then just keep on reading :)


First up we have a good chunk of the nail polish brand China Glaze. I have been obsessed with this brand ever since I bought "For Audrey" from Sally's Beauty Supply. I have been getting a wide range of colors lately. I bought all of them besides 3 from Head2Toe Beauty Store. I just did a random web search and found them. Their polishes are at a great price and range from different brands. I bought the China Glaze for only $3 each. 


Here's the rest of the China Glaze and all of my Sinful Colors polishes. I got the Sinful Colors from Target, I know you can them at other places I just can't remember where right now lol. They were only $2 each at Target. 


I decided to try out a magnetic nail polish and while I was at Sally's I found a couple but I chose the Finger Paints Polish which was around $4-$6 each. Also from Head2Toe Beauty I got 2 Color Club polishes for $3! I have been collecting Essie polishes for a while now. I just bought 2 from the new collection. I got these at Target, now these are pricey for nail polish, it's around $7-$9 depending on where you buy them at. 


Last but certainly not least my Sally Hansen and the new Maybelline Polishes. The Sally Hansen ones range from $3-$6 at Walmart. The Maybelline ones were $3 also at Walmart. 

Now all of these polishes are great quality and very pigmented. Almost all of them only require 2 coats at the most for the best results. So far my favorite brand would have to be China Glaze. There's a huge color variety at a great price! If you're interested in seeing swatches of any of these polishes just leave me a comment and I'll be sure to get that up as soon as I can.

JustFab Shoe Haul!


So this is my first ever Haul for Fashion! Recently I decided to make a purchase from JustFab.com because they had a Memorial Day Sale, buy 1 get 1 free! So if you're interested in seeing what I got then keep on reading.....


I got 2 different styles of shoes. If you don't know what JustFab is, it is basically another subscription service but for shoes, jewelry, and purses. You answer style questions, and a stylist will find items that best match your answers. They have occasional sales of clothes too. It is $39.95 a month, and you can skip a month if you don't like what the stylists pick out for you or you can just pay for the month and get a credit for something later. 


The first one is the Trishelle, a cute Leopard wedge. I tried them on and walked around in them for a bit. They are super comfortable, and easy for me to walk in. I got these because for some reason I have started to fall in love with animal prints lately and want to change up my closet lol. 


Next up is the Aurora, a beige tone platform high heel. I absolutely love platform heels because I am only 5'0" and love the "tall" feeling lol. I decided to get these because every girl should have a nice nude shoe. They can give the illusion of longer legs.

Overall:
5/5 $$
5/5 shipping
5/5 comfort
5/5 styles

I will definitely being purchasing more items from them and highly recommend any girl to check out the justfab website if you're interested in expanding your closet and style =D

May Glam bag


So today in the mail I got my May glam bag! If you're interested in seeing what I got then keep on reading^_^


First up we have the Studio Gear Complete Color Lipstick in Warm & Cozy. This is like a brown nude-y frosty color. It has a nice texture and good pigmentation. It says that it plumps and hydrates lips.


Then we have 2 more myglam brushes. A concealer brush and a defining eyeliner brush. 


Next up a sample of Philosophy Love Sweet Love Fragrance. It smells great, and I am in love with it. It has a flirty, fruity fragrance.


Lastly we have Miss Beauty Nail Bling. I am not really into this but I haven't tried them out yet so we shall see. 

Well that was my May glam bag and it's just meh for me. We'll see what next month brings..... It seems that they are starting to hear out their glammies and put actual beauty products into the bags. Till next time, take care!

Why I've been M.I.A.

I haven't been doing much beauty related stuff lately, because I have been busy getting settled back into life in Arizona without my hubby =( So this past week I have been busy decorating my son's room and just making it his own.

He loves his room and LOVES to jump on the bed lol.



Now that I am done with his room I'll be starting on mine soon, so i'll be away for another week or so. But I do have some reviews coming up and I started doing the product use up project so I'll be posting about that soon. I also did some clothes shopping so I'll be doing my first fashion haul soon. Till then take care loves!

New Makeup Collection Set up


Here's my new set up in my room in AZ :) I got pretty crazy with duct tape lol. If you're interested in seeing how I organize things then keep on reading and enjoy.


In the drawer set to the left, it holds a good majority of my makeup. In the first drawer we have my gel liner, cream shadows, depotted nyx and ud shadow pencils, primers, glitter liners, and mascaras.

In the second drawer I have a good bit of my face products. From highlighters to blushes, foundations to primers, and concealers to setting powders.


In the third drawer I have my less loved lippies lol. I like to try and rotate them with my most used drawer.


Here are my bigger palettes and one of my unii palettes that I have my most used items in.



These are all of my brushes in a glass container from Target and instead of the sephora inspired beads, I used air soft pellets lol. I have a range of Sephora, Sigma, Crown, Real Technique, Sedona Lace, myglam, e.l.f., Crown, and one Makeup Geek Brush.


Here I keep my eyelash curlers, eye pencils, brow pencils, lip pencils, cream shadow pencils, and my UD concealer stick.


In the drawers to the right I keep my smaller palettes in the first drawer.


In the second drawer I have my Coastal Scents Creative Me #1 palette, and my other unii palette along with my mark. palette.


In the third drawer is all my miscellaneous items.


This is my main drawer with my highly used products.


In one of the side drawers of my desk I have all my pigments.


In a bookshelf beside my desk I have all my perfumes, nail treatments, nail tools, skincare products, and hair products.


On my wall I have my nail polish holder that my hubby made for me with my polish collection. I plan on writing a blog on my collection soon so keep an eye out for that one ;)

I just love makeup and creating new looks. Once I finish getting settled in at home I will start making more posts! Till next time, take care ^_^
