Revlon love is on deluxe gift set

Around this time of year different companies start selling gift sets. These gift sets are great if you know someone who loves make-up or is just starting to use make-up. The set I will be talking about today is from Revlon. The set is called "gaze of love". This is affordable on any budget at $15. It comes with Colorstay 16 hour Eye Shadow in "Siren", Colorstay Eye Liner in "Black", Colorstay skinny Liquid Liner in "Black out", and the last is a duo compact.. Here is what the set looks like.

The Eye Shadow quad called "Siren" has three shimmers and one mate. Here is a swatch of the colors. The colors have a powdery feel to them. This would be great for begainners because they are easy to blend. It comes with a sponge applicator. It also comes with a guide for an eyelook on the back of the palette. 

 

The next is the eyeliner color in "black". It is a pencil liner with a smudger and sharpener of the end. It goes on smooth and stays on. 

The next is the liqud eyeliner in black out. It has a sponge tip. It is a brown based black. So it's not as dark as a blue based black but for beginners it will work. 

The last is the compact. I love it! it is cute and functional. It was a 2x zoom on one side and an normal mirror on the other side. I love how it is a heart. 

That's all that was in the box. As I said this would be a perfect  gift for anyone who is starting to use make up and for $15 you can not beat that price. 

Throughout the month of November I will be reviewing more palettes so stay tuned!

June Ipsy bag!

Hello wonderful people. I know that this post is late but I wanted to try out the products before I did any reviews on them. If you don't know Ipsy is a subscription service. Once a month they send you a make-up bag with five products to try. Some of the products are full size and some are trial sized. To start out you take a quiz so they can find out what you would like to try. You can retake the quiz as many times you want. This month there were some wins and misses. So here is what I got for the month of June. The package comes in a pink mailing bag. (which is a great idea)

Here is a picture of the bag! Now to see whats inside!

Here is a small peek of the bag. It is a black bag with ipsy written on it. I love the bag. I use it as my make up bag when I go places. It is slightly cushioned so I don't have to worry about my powder breaking.











The first is a nail polish from Aurora. I love the color. It is called "four alarm fire". It is a coral color. Perfect for summer time. It said it is like a gel polish. You don't need an UV light for it. It did not hold up like a gel polish. After one day I had to take it off because it chipped a lot. But besides that the color is great. I will wear it again but not to work.

The next thing I got were DePuff Eye Pads by Altchek MD. They were cooling. I noticed a difference after one use. I will re buy these if I have a chance.

The next is the IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal eyebrow pencil in universal taupe. I have dark brown hair and this pencil worked for me. It will also work with blonde too. I don't know if it will work with black hair but I will find out soon. I will by this again. To the right are the swatches. The left is the pencil.

 My second favorite out of the bag is the TreStique Eye shadow pencil. I used it as a base and an eye shadow. I love this product. It is a a nude pink shimmer called Marimoto Pink Pearl. It takes five seconds to put on and looks great. I will buy this again. 

My favorite of the month of June is the Smashbox foundation primer. It evened out my skin and helped my foundation stay on all day. It also helps to take great pictures. I didn't have to use any filters at all. I will buy this again.










Thanks for reading! Sorry this was late but I wanted to try them out longer than a week. I am excited for the July bag. It will be here in a few weeks, I can't wait. My next blog post will be about my new favorite make-up sponge call Beauty Blender.  I will link to Ipsy if you want to check out the site and sign up. Ipsy

Review of Nyx eyeliners

Today I got some stuff for review. I bought the Nyx eyeliner pen in "jet black" and an Nyx eye pencil in "teal". Here is where I get picky when I hear jet black i think a really black eye liner. I think of a blue based black. The Nyx liner is a brown based black. Here is a swatch of it.

The best thing about the liner it is a pen so it felt tip which makes it easier 

do winged eyeliner. 

Here is a picture of the pen and box. 

Here is the tip. As you can see you can make a thick line or a thin line.Even though it is a brown based black I like it. The liner is easy to hold and apply.








Now for what I am excited about the Nyx liner in "teal" Here is the swatch of the color.
It is a true teal color. Blue, white and green are mixed perfectly. It is a crayon liner so it
very easy to smudge and blend with other colors. I love this color! I'm about to
compare the Nyx "teal' liner with Wet and wild liner in "turquoise"

The wet and wild color is dark and has more of a blue tint. Where the Nyx as more of a green base to it. Also the picture doesn't show this but the wet and wild color was gold and silver micro-glitter in it. Both of these colors are great for spring and summer looks. Sadly the wet and wild they don't make any more. I have had that pencil for years.





Here is a picture of all the products listed

I hope you enjoyed reading this and see you next time. I am going to post everyday if not every other day. Love you guys! Here is a link to Nyx

Nyx eye pencil in teal

Nyx felt tip liner

Nyx jumbo eye shadow pencil

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while I have been REALLY busy with work and with school. So lets get started. I was looking through the NYX cosmetics stand at my local drug store and I found something interesting. Jumbo eye pencils the first thing I thought of was using them as a base for color pigments. It was a little over five dollars. I got the white color called milk. The color is just a simple white but it goes on smooth and it makes any color you put on top of it pop. I use it for everything from eye shadow base to a eye liner for under the eyes. White liner on the lower water makes your eyes look bigger and more open. Which is good if you are running late for school or work. It makes you look more awake. I love this product! I sometimes use an eye shadow primer but with these jumbo eye pencils I don't really need them. It goes on smooth and blends easily. They come in many colors to choose so the next question is which is the next color I will get? I don't even know but I know that which ever one I get will be amazing.  Here is a link to the nyx website.

Hoola By Benefit and ecoTools Brushes! :)

         Hey People! Long time no review. lol I know it has been a while. Sorry. So lets get started. A few weeks ago we got an Ulta here. I got some brushes from ecoTools also. I will get to those later.
        First I want to talk about the bronzer. I got Hoola by Benefit because I have not heard anything bad about it. I agree I couldn't find anything wrong with it. I have a very pale complexion and most bronzers that I have tried look like I put dirt on my face. I did not have the problem with this one. I recommend it if you have a coupon or you can get a good deal on it. The one thing I didn't like was the price. It was about $28.00 but I had a coupon with made it about $15.00.
        Now for the ecoTools. I have multiple brushes to review on today. I have eye brushes which consists of the following blend,crease,highlight,shade, and smudge brush.Then I have two face brushes a domed and a deluxe fan brush. I LOVE them! The handles are made out of bamboo. They are very easy to hold and very durable. The bristles are the softest I have EVER had! I love them I want to get more brushes from them. They are amazing! Very easy to clean. I use baby shampoo and I rinse them off them carefully. Carefully smooth the brushes and lay them down on a towel to dry and you can use them the next day. I will put the link to benefit and to ecoTools.

Wet and Wild tinted moisturizer

Hello again! Sorry this is late I haven't had a change to write this review. So I have been using the Wet and Wild tinted moisturizer. I love it lately all I have been wearing is it. It gives me enough coverage that I don't need any foundation. It goes on smooth and feels like you aren't wearing anything.  So I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't wear a lot of make-up. So my next review will be on the Hoola bronzer by Benefit.

Nyx liquid eyeliner

   Hey again! I know two days in a row! Lol shocking I know. So the other day I was at the store and I was looking at eyeliners and the NYX Liquid eye liner was calling my name. It was like "buy me I am the color of the TARDIS!" So I bought it. It is like the normal eyeliners it is a brush not a pen or a sponge type of thing. If I get eyeliner  they are usually pens. But I went ahead and bought it.
   So now for the review the color is a metallic blue called "Extreme Blue" it hasn't flaked off and has stayed on the would night. I did a small winged liner and the brush made it easy to apply. I have only tried the NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk as an eye shadow base and I loved that also. I might by more NYX products. Tomorrow I will do the review of the wet and wild tinted moisturizer. So look out for that. I am going to try to post everyday. YAY!
                         Love you guys! <3

  P.S- I now have an Ulta! I am so excited about it! I got a few brushes and I got hula bronzer from Benefit! The review for those will by up soon. :)
