Milani Eyeliners

I've received two Milani eyeliners along with an eyeshadow palette that I've reviewed in the past. These two are both silver and I bought two of their shadow eyez pencils.

Milani Liqui'f Metallic Eyeliner:

This eyeliner is absolutely gorgeous. It's silver with a bit of shimmer in it but not too much to wear it's a bother. I will admit I was a bit hesitant about it since the BH Cosmetics eyeliner in silver was horrible. This product is the complete opposite, it is AMAZING! It glides on smoothly. Once you allow it to set for a few seconds it is budge proof, and living in Texas the heat is unbearable and it didn't transfer or budge at all.It's very bold and lovely. I absolutely love this pencil and will definitely pick up more of these pencils in the future. If you need a budge proof eyeliner I highly recommend this one, they come in other colors. This gets a 10/10
Swatch:

Milani Retractable Easy Liner For Eyes Shimmer:

This eyeliner is a bit different from the liqui'fied one as it is retractable and has a smudger at the end of the pencil. The color I received was silver as well. It is very similar to the liqui'fied one as it is budge proof once it sets, glides on smoothly, and bold. However, it is very shimmery but perfect to use as a highlight for the inner corner. This also comes in other colors. This eyeliner gets a 10/10.
Swatch:

Milani Shadow Eyez Pencil:

 

I picked these two up. I got Aquatic Style and Winter White. These pencils can be used as an eyeshadow, base, and eyeliner. They have a metallic finish and last for 12 hours. These pencils are creamy, however, they don't blend that well and aren't that great as a base. If you use it as a base it makes your eyeshadow look weird. The colors are very pigments, which I love, and they are budge proof and when they say they last for 12 hours they really do! They are about the size of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. I give these an 7/10.

Milani & NYX Eyeshadow Review

I've picked up a few eyeshadows in the past weeks. One is from NYX and the others are from Milani. I've never tried any of their eyeshadows so I was very excited as I've heard great things about them. Let's get started with this review!

Milani Powder Eyeshadows:

I got two of these eyshadows one is White Lie and the other is Olympian Blue. The packing is really cute it's round and is a bit similar to how Mac's eyeshadows are but bigger.First off by looking at these eyeshadows they look very pigmented! When I went to swatch them with my finger they were very pigmented and bright! They look amazing without a base but with a base the colors are super bold. They are easy to blend and a little goes a long way. I give these eyeshadows a perfect 10. The price for them are $5.99.

                Swatches: Left: over Base Right: No Base

Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows:

I receieved these eye shadows for winning a giveaway they were hosting on twitter. The one I got was Backstage Basics. This little mini palette comes with 6 eyeshadows ranging from white to black. I did not like the packaging it was a bit difficult to open and I broke my nail trying to open it. These eyeshadows have shimmer in them and look a bit chalky. However, with these you have to build up to the intensity that you want. The colors last all day with out fading, it looked like I just applied my eye makeup! They are easy to blend. I think this little palette is ideal for traveling or when you're on the go. I would definitely recommend using a base underneath as the colors will show a lot better. The price for this is $8.99.I give this little palette an 8.
Swatches: Left: over Base Right: No Base

NYX Single Eyeshadow:

I've been on the hunt for a super bright yellow. I saw that NYX had one called Mellow Yellow. I was hesitant to purchasing it just because I was afraid that it wasn't going to be what I expected. I took a chance and bought it since was on sale at Ulta. The color is very pigmented over a white base and I fell in love with it! I've never tried any of their eyeshadows before but I will definitely be purchasing more in the months to come. With the eyshadow you can build it to the intensity that you want but you don't need much. The packing is similar to Mac's but square and wider. I believe the eyeshadow is $4 and something cents, I bought it for $3.50.
          Swatch: Left: over White Base Right: No Base

8 Bit Cosmetics: Review

These Products were sent to me for reviewing purposes. I received 4 samples and 2 full size eye shadows. They are all minerals and come in amazing colors.These eye shadows are super pigmented, without a base so imagine how they will look with a base underneath! They are easy to blend which is always good. You can intensify the colors by adding more.The glitter eyeshadow, I thought was just a really shimmery eye-shadow but it's just glitter. Most of the shadows are matte, however, not all are.They are very affordable, for a sample size they are $1.00 for 0.5 grams and for a full size it's $4.00 for 2 grams. The samples come in little baggies and the full size come in a little container with a sifter. Some of the eye shadows are vegan and some aren't. On their facebook page and website they say which are and aren't. So if you're looking for vegan eye shadows these are for you.  The owner, Nicole, is amazing! She'll reply to your message within hours and is super friendly, so you'll be getting excellent customer service. Overall, these eye shadows  are amazing as well as the company! And if you don't believe me you should definitely check them out yourself and if you do tell her Tori sent you. :) I will be doing more looks using these so keep a look out for that and as always have a super amazing day!

Favorite Nail Polishes + Mini Review

So I know I've never done a favorites post but I love these polishes so much I thought I spread the word and show y'all what I'm digging at the moment. :)

So I believe it was a couple of weeks ago that I went to Dollar General with my mom. I love looking at makeup their since most of it is like a dollar. Anyway they were having a sale on L.A Colors' Nail polish. I've never used their nail polish and I'm a bit picky when it comes to nail polish since I'm always wearing it. Anyways, I was looking at the colors and by looking at them they look really watery like water paint. You know how you have to keep going over it to make it dark. Well I took a chance with it and bought a black nail polish, it's called Circuits. I will say it totally proved me wrong. It came out dark, there were like a little bit of lightness but doing two coats and it's as dark as the night sky. This polish lasted me almost a whole week without chipping and I love that.

The Rest of these polishes are from Milani, I've purchased two and the others I've received from a giveaway. The colors are called Sail Away, Beach Front, Silver, and Silver Stilettos. These colors are so pretty! All you need is one coat and you're good to go. Also they do dry pretty fast, so that's a plus. They do last almost a week as well. I absolutely adore these polishes. These nail polishes cost $4.49 and the Silver one since it's Jewel FX Nail Lacquer it cost $4.99. You can find these at Walmart.

Sail Away is more of a navy blue with gold shimmer in it.

Beach Front is a baby blue with silver shimmer in it.

Silver is just glitter decorations to add to your nails.

Silver Stilettos is just a silver nail polish with shimmer in it.

Influenster Beauty Blogger VoxBox Review

I just received my Influenster Beauty Bloggers Voxbox , I always get so excited when they come. If you're not familiar with how Influenster works, basically it's a site you sign up for and take surveys to unlock badges and if you qualify you will receive one of these boxes. It's 100% free and all they ask is that you share your thoughts on the products on your social media profiles. This is my 3rd voxbox I've qualified for this year!

This time around the theme of the voxbox is Beauty Blogger which means they were picked out for beauty bloggers and vloggers in mind. I've never been disappointed with any of the boxes but I think this one is my favorite because of the fab products. I will tell you my thoughts on them.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pins: 

The Goody SImple Style Pins allow you to easily achieve three chic updo styles. Simply twirl your hair up and spin the two spin pins in your for a perfect updone, side or double bun. These cost $7.29. These are so easy to use and make styling my hair so easy, since I hate having to do my hair. When I first received them I thought I would try them out and honestly I didn't think it would hold my hair for the length of time I've had them in my hair, but to my surprise it did. I think this is a nifty hair accessory especially if you're one of those girls who either has your hair down or in a ponytail like myself this is definitely a way to spice up your hair style. However, for the price I don't think they would be worth that, but if you have the money to splurge and want to wear your hair in a bun and if the sock bun doesn't work then this is definitely something you should buy.

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles:

The Candle I received is from their Fall Candle Collection. These mini candles costs $3.50. I love Bath and Body Works candles they smell insanely awesome! The candle I received is call Black Pepper Bergamot. This candle doesn't have a strong candle as others would when lit up, so I was a little disappointed with that. It does smell good though. So if you're looking for an awesome candle I say you should just get the others in the collection.

Kisses Ever Pro Lash Starter Kit:

These lashes are made from 100% Human Hair. They come with lashes that are a little bit to dramatic for everyday use, a pink tweezer, and lash glue that last for 24 hours and is waterproof. I hardly ever wear false lashes because I have the hardest time applying them. However, I find these super easy to apply. The lash glue doesn't make a mess all over your eyelid and literally last more than four hours! These are the prefect lashes for beginners. I highly recommend them to anyone. These cost $5.99, if you think about it it's a good price since you can reuse them.  I'm definitely am a Kiss Lash Fan for life!

Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair Cream:

Before I received this product I was using the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Intensely Smooth Leave in Conditioner Cream for my frizzy hair. I will say this product is as good as the Garnier Fructis one and it's awesome because it is only for frizzy hair. It smells awesome! However, the only down side to this is if you put to much product in one spot you can feel the product in your hair which I don't like. The size of the bottle I was received was a 1.5 fl Oz and a full size is 4 Oz and costs $6.00 and I believe this product is on sell at CVS I believe if you buy one you get the other half off. I'm not entirely sure so go check it out. I will honestly say I've never heard of this product before and I'm so glad I know about them now.

NYC New York Color Individual Eyes Custom Compact:

When I opened my voxbox and laid my eyes on this I was immediately excited to try this product. I've never tried any of NYC's eyeshadows before. Looking at the colors they seem so pigmented and have a bit of shimmer in them. I find this compact very unique. It really sets itself apart from other drugstore companies. This compact contains a primer, illuminator, highlight color, over all lid color, and two crease colors., the price for these costs $4.99 I received "Dark Shadows" which consist of white, silver, dark grey and black. When applied the colors began to fade in 30 minutes, so if you have oily lids you should probably use a different primer. The colors are pigmented and this is perfect for on the go. I used this compact to create a soft smokey eye and you can see first hand how they product worked. 
Swatches: 
Top: The shadows over the primer in the compact
Bottom: The shadows over a Milani Shadow Eyez Pencil

EBoost:

I'm not a fan of enery drink, since I hate that they make you crash later and are super unhealthy. When I saw the EBoost in my voxbox I was surprised  I didn't know there were healthy energy boosters. This pouch comes in four flavors: orange, acui pomegranate  pink lemonade, and super berry. I received orange, it taste okay but not a fan of the after taste. After I drank some I did feel energized which was awesome because my energy level was low. I would totally recommend these to people who drink energy drinks on a daily basis. These are healthier, they not only boost your energy but also your mood, focus and immune system. These are $28 for a box of 20 powders, $39 for 30 powders, and $39 for a box of 12 shots.

Well this is my review on the items I received. If you haven't checked out Influenster you should. :)

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to me for testing purposes, these are my honest opinions. :)
