Maybelline Lots of Love (LOL) Mascara Review

Hey ladies, 

Hope all of you are doing well! So today I am going to be reviewing my HOLY GRAIL product, the Maybelline Lots of Love Mascara. There are not enough good things in the world that I can tell you about this mascara. I have tried a lot of mascaras from Maybelline and as well as other companies. But this one for me is just perfect. Lots of Love comes from the Great Lash line from Mayebelline. LOL has the most amazing wand I have ever found on a mascara, the wand is Heart shaped! You maybe thinking how does that help? But trust me the heart shaped wand makes a huge difference (in good way) on how the product applies to your lashes. The wand has bristles that separate and give volume to the lashes. This mascara does not clump at all. I just love how it applies to my lashes, I wear this every single day, and get many compliments. Yes, it does look like I have fake lashes on (which I love). Overall this product is amazing, and works great. I don't think I can go back to any other mascara for a while. This is absolutely my holy grail mascara. Let me know what you guys think about this mascara, and if you end up buying it.

Thanks&Enjoy! xoxoxo

NOTM= Nail Of The Moment!

Hello everyone!!!!

As you can tell I am really excited for this post!! Today I am going to be doing a NOTM! I just discovered the Maybelline Color Show FALL collection (some how I missed it when it came out). The color that caught my eye right away was Downtown Brown (Limited Edition). It was like love at first sight! This shade is the perfect color for fall, the amazing deep brown is like fall on your nails!

I applied 4 coats of this which is a bummer, Maybelline polishes usually have wonderful formula, but this one was really thin and watery. It took 4 coats to get the color to really show up! (I don't care if it takes 10 coats I am in love with this shade!) . It is a deep brown with teal duo-chrome glitter. Under the light you can really see the teal glitter, and it looks amazing! I think I am going to be wearing this shade a lot this Fall!

Enjoy the swatches, and let me know if you have picked up any of the Maybelline Color Show polishes!

Wet n Wild Megashield Lip Colors!

Hello gorgeous!
     Hope all of you gorgeous ladies out there are doing well! So recently I was in New York City and was just browsing through a drugstore (don't remember the name).. I came across these Wet n Wild Megasheild Lips colors. My first thought was nice color selection! I looked through the shades and picked up 3 shades that screamed to me! Okay, my number one favorite thing about these lip colors is that they are SPF 15, who doesn't love SPF 15? Not only you have to protect your skin, lips are also important which also need sun shield! The second thing I love about these is the price! Such an amazing product for only $2.49 (check your drugstores, prices may vary).

So lets get to the actual review, these lips colors are super pigmented! The color pay off is amazing, also they go on smoothly. They are in between a lipstick and a lip balm. Once on your lips they look like a lipstick, but applying them feels like lip balm. These lips colors are not sticky at all (Thank God!). I also love the packaging of these, they have a acrylic cap which I love because you can clearly see the color. Also the shade name is displayed on the cap and the bottom.

Lets get to the product names and swatches!

First color I picked up was: Pink Slip ( La rose des vents) I am in love with this shade. It is a rose pinkish frosty color. It goes on amazing, also with light pink blush the colors stands out more.

Second color: It's A Girl! (C'est Une fille!) This is kind of a bubblegum pink ( Yes, I love pinks) This color is shiny. Also a frosty color.

The last color is: Lolly Pop star ( Sucette Vedette) This is a really bright pink color, kind of like raspberry pink. This color would look wonderful on a nude makeup look.

Enjoy the swatches! xoxoxo

Hello beauties!

     Hope all of you are doing great. Here is a NOTM! I am going to be doing these short posts frequently. Just a fun idea to share my nail polishes with you guys!

         Today I am wearing Daphne from Julep. I love this color! It is a sea greeny cream color. I think it is perfect for a year round color. I just love this shade, I keep looking at my nails. One thing I love about this color is that it came out darker than the color in the bottle. 


ENJOY!!! xoxo

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer.

Hi everyone!!!

Hope all of you are doing good! Today I am going to share with you 3 of the Maybelline Nail Lacquer's I picked up recently from the Color Show collection. These are really nice polishes, and especially if you are on a budget they are a great buy. I love the 3 colors I picked up.


Styled Out, Blue Blowout, Coral Crush. 
As you can see the colors are very different from each other. I wanted to pick out colors that I did not already have in my collection. 


    Lets begin with Coral Crush. This color is a perfect coral shade. I just put on one coat and it went on smoothly. This shade can be worn in the summer, but for me I will wear it year round. 

This one is called Blue Blowout. This shade is a metallic blue shade with a silver sheen to it. This shade takes two coats to get the real affect of the silver. Over all, I am not satisfied with this color. But I don't mind having it in my collection. 

Styled Out is an amazing, amazing shade! I just fell in love with this shade when I saw it on the display, I had to pick it up! This shade is from the Color Show Denims collection. It is a deep blue shade, with lots of silver  sparkle in it. Styled Out comes out perfect on the nail, and shows its true color! If you want a deep blue shade in your collection I would absolutely recommend Styled Out. 

Hope you enjoy these nail polish picks! Let me know what your favorite Maybelline nail shades are.

NYX Eyeliner Pencils

Hi everyone!

I have a realy difficult time choosing the right eyeliner pencil. I want something soft that I can tightline with and also use it on my water line. Some of the eyeliner pencils I have tried get really dry and are really hard to use on my water line. Today I bring you three NYX eyeliner pencils. 901 Black, 927 Acid Green, 933 Gold Glitter.

*  Let me begin with how much I am in love with the Black pencil. It is amazing on the water line, although it is not a waterproof eyeliner pencil, it's staying power is great. It does not smudge, and blending wtih it is easy.

* Lets move on to the Gold, as you can see the Gold pencil has some glitter in it. This pencil is perfect for using as an eyeliner and also you can put this under your eye and blend it out for a nice natural look. I think the glitter really brings out the gold in this shade.

* Acid Green is one of those colors that I usually wear. I am not a fan of green eyeliners, but for some reason this is a great green color that I love wearing. It has no glitter, but the color really defines the eye.

      -You can find these pencils at Ulta, and most of the drugstores. Also check online!- Also let me know in the comments below what is your favorite eye pencil!

                                                           ENJOY!!!!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Bold Gold


Hello beauties,
It is officially fall! Fall is my favorite season. The golden leaves crunching under my feet, tress turning gorgeous colors, the view every where is just breathtaking. Falls arrival makes me think of gold colors, so today I am reviwing Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hours in BOLD GOLD. If you haven't heard about the Maybelline Color Tattoo, they are a cream/gel eyeshadow, they last for upto 24 hours. They come in 10 different colors, and for the next couple of days I will be reviewing my favorite colors.

Bold Gold
: Where to begin with? I am absolutely in love with this color! It is a shimmery medium-dark gold color. The shimmer in this color is amazing, I love the small specks of shimmer that appear in the shadow. The texture of Bold Gold is very smooth and creamy, I just apply it with my finger on my eyelid, and it goes on smoothly (no brush needed). I have also noticed that with one swipe onto the eyelid, they stay put. The pigmentation is just amazing! They come out great, and especially if you are applying primer, the color is more noticeable, and it stays on longer and better. I tried this color alone on my eye lid for about 10 hours, and it stayed put throughout the whole day! Also if you want a smokey eye look, you can always put this color as a base and apply dark brown shadow on the crease!
                                                                                Enjoy!

NYX Champagne&Caviar Pallete




This is one of my favorite pallettes in my whole beauty collection. I use this pallette every single day. All the beautiful colors are wearable, and you can create a natural look or a smokey look with this pallette. The colors are not very well pigmented, but they go on well with a base (primer) before applying the shadow. Let's take a look at the matte white, I use the white color as my highlight, it really brightens up the look and pops my eyes. This pallette has a variety of shimmer and matte colors. The shimmer colors have a decent amount of shimmer, and I actually like that. If I want to do a natural look for the day I use the matte warm golden color on my lid, and use the dark shimmer brown on my crease. Although I love all the colors in this pallette my favorite color is the shimmery light pink on the bottom row. I just love that color! Its light pink with shimmer, it truly gives you a wonderful glow. I wear this alone on my eyelid sometimes, and it goes perfect with winged black eyeliner. I also want to point out the matte black color, this matte black is very pigmented, and great color for darkening your smokey look. Also you can use the matte black for lining your eye. For a smokey look with this dark black, take a blending brush and blend until your desired color darkness.
This pallette is very affordable, and it is great for everyday wear. The shadows last for a long time, and you can create many different looks from this pallette.

Enjoy!

Zuza by Zoya (nailpolish review)

Hello,

My first post is going to be a nail polish review and swatches. I recently discovered Zoya nail polishes. (www.zoya.com) To start with, they have a amazing color collection, so many colors that define every one's personality. The color I am reviewing is Zuza, which is turquoise with small gold and silver shimmer, almost like metallic. Zuza reminds me of spring/summer, it makes me think of the ocean and the beach. Although it is very near green but it has a perfect shade of blue. Zuza is one of those colors that can look great on any skin tone. In the swatches I don't have a top coat on, the color came out great and shiny anyway. You can always put on a top coat just to make the manicure last longer, but for me it was not necessary. The nail polish it self dried in 2 minutes, which is plus from my side, I do not like waiting forever for nail polish to dry, so I liked that. With 2 coats on, it is a opaque color. I love the metallic side to the polish, it makes the color stand out. Over all, this color is perfect for summer and the beach,

Enjoy!





                            This looks like a shade of green, but that is because the flash was on!
