New NYX eyeshadows!!

Photobucket


Hi everyone! I wanted to do a little review and some swatches of my most recent haul of NYX single eyeshadows. I really love NYX eyeshadows (not too fond of their lip products though,) they are AMAZING quality and have a great pigmentation for a super affordable price. I order mine from cherryculture.com for $3.50 each. I ordered 6 eyeshadows, i love 5 of them and i am disappointed in 1. Colors are HAWAIIAN COFFEE, TRUE TAUPE(BOTH MATTE,) SALMON, CEDER WOOD, TAUPE PEARL(METALLIC/SHIMMERS,) AND BABY PINK (SUPPOSED TO BE MATTE.) I was very disappointed in Baby Pink because i was expecting a matte very light dusty pink, but it is more of a bright fairy pink i would say. Plus it is not a matte, has alot of shimmer and has terrible fall out. But i LOVE LOVE LOVE the other colors. Taupe Pearl is gorgeous!


Colors in order:Hawaiian Coffee, Ceder Wood, Salmon, Taupe Pearl, True Taupe

I love the name victorian......

Photobucket

......but i hate the lipstick! I ordered MACs Victorian lipstick from the new spring forecast collection and i really wanted to love it...buuuuut i don't. When i first looked at it in the tube i thought wow this is so pretty, but when i put it on my lips its just not my taste. It just has alot of gold/orange reflex's...very shiny(in a bad way for me.) I feel i look old when i where it! I don't know it just does not do it for me, but each person if different so it might look great on someone else! Anyway that's my little rant for the morning. Let me know if you have that lipstick and if you like it or not, or if you have any tips on how to wear it because i really wanted to love it!

Plus size fashion tip #1!

Photobucket

Hey everyone! Plus size fashion tip #1 = high waisted belts. Take a shapless tunic and transform it into a hot little number by adding a belt to hug your shape! I think this look works for almost any woman, whether your curvy, voluptuous, or whatever! You can wear a thin or thick belt at your natural waist or under the bust. I prefer a thick belt with a stretchy band, for extra cinching and added comfort. You can pretty much find a belt like this anywhere, here are some cute belts i found at torrid.com. All around $20.

My review of e.l.f Mineral Lipsticks!!!!

Hey everyone! I received my order of mineral lipsticks from eyeslipsface.com, and i actually really like them! The color in the tube shows up true to color on the lips and they are very moisturizing, pretty long lasting, and glide on smooth. I got natural nymph, runway pink, party pink, and rosy tan. I would have to say my favorite color is runway pink...perfect nude color for me. Natural nymph is VERY nude, my lips disappear...but with a very dark eye it would look amazing! Overall i think these are great lipsticks for the price! I would recommend!

In order:PARTY PINK, RUNWAY PINK, NATURAL NYMPH, AND ROSY TAN

My craving for the night

vivaglamgagagagalippie

Ok so one more post for tonight. Well I must say that Im having a huge craving right now for MAC Viva Glam Gaga lipstick. Lady Gaga + MAC lippie =Love



What are you craving?

There's just somthing about the Peacock

even smaller

So ever since I can remember I have loved Peacocks. The colors of their feathers just make me melt. They are known as "The bird of 100 watchful eyes" I always wonder why im so drawn to anything Peacock...maybe I was a Peacock in another life! Anyways if I were to get a tattoo without a dout it would be of a Peacock(or at least a feather), going from my leg down onto the top of my foot. But im a tad too chicken for that at this point in time... :( So I sport my love of the bird in other ways...like a Peacock feather headband with a juicy green jewel or a pair of statement earrings!

pinkielip

Hello everyone! So I thought I would start out my new blog with something that is my old love but new obsession...PINK LIPS! So for that last month or so ive been on a new shopping rampage for pink lipsticks. I love anything from a bright barbie pink to a soft baby pink, so I would like to share my favs with you guys!



Ok so my #1 pink lipstick would have to be Saint Germain by MAC. It is an amplified cream so the color is intense...but who doesnt want to look like barbie? My other fav pinks from MAC are Angel (add Florabundance tinted lipglass for yummy looking lips) and California Dreamin, which is limited edition, sadface!
saintgermain



My fav lipstick for a baby pink look is NYX in Strawberry Milk. I find that is does tend to dry out the lips and it accentuates any dry skin you might have on your lips but thats where a toothbrush and chapstick come in handy.

I just purchased this lipstick from Rimmel...it is so beautiful...perfect everyday color for me. It is in number 006 Pink Blush. It feels pretty creamy and is very true to color...the color in the tube is the color that goes on your lips

So these are my favorite pink lippies (for now) ;)
