Elf Beauty On The Go Compact




I've been eyeing this compact for a while and I finally got it for Christmas  I know there are like 10 different palettes for this compact. This particular palette came with two different palettes: one for daytime and one for night time. Altogether this is a 26 piece set: 20 eyeshadows, 4 lip glosses, 1 blush and 1 bronzer.

Top: Girl Next Door Bottom: Life of the Party
 

The palette for night time looks,Life of The Party, has bright and dark colors and 2 extremely shimmery eyeshadows that I think are perfect for an inner corner highlight. The other palette, Girl Next Door, contains neutral colors: Browns (both warm and cool tone) peach, gold and white. The eyeshadows in both of these palettes do contain shimmer, however, Girl Next Door has 4 matte eyeshadow and Life of the Party only contains 1. Looking at the eyeshadows they do look very chalky and cheap. The pigmentation does lack on it's own with some colors so be sure to use a base if you want to intensify the color. They are super easy to blend and you can achieve any look you want. If you never used any Elf eyeshadow you won't be disappointed with these I really do like these two palettes. 

The Life of the Party palette comes with a peach blush. It is absolutely my least favorite thing out of everything! When I apply it it looks like I didn't apply anything! I try to build up the color and still nothing. I know it's a peach blush but I have another one from the color workshop and I can just swipe it one once and there's a bit of color, so compared to that blush this elf one sucks! 

My favorite part of this set is the bronzer, it is just absolutely amazing! It's pigmented enough to give you a glowing look without getting out of hand and it's super easy to blend on your face. I just wished it was in the Life of the Party palette rather than the Girl Next Door one, but oh well. 

Top : Peach & Hot Pink Bottom: Red & Dark Red

The lip glosses from the Girl Next Door palette are a peach and hot pink color. The peach lacks in pigmentation when applied to your lips but it does have a bit of color. If you try to build up the color it just ends up looking really messy. The hot pink looks like it does in the pan just not as bold, it has excellent color payoff compared to the peach lip gloss.  The other two lip glosses in the Life of the part palette are a red with a pinkish tone and the other is a dark red. The first one when applied looks similar to the hot pink just a shade darker. The dark red one just looks red when applied but still perfect for a night out. These lip glosses aren't as sticky as most lip glosses are which is good. They don't stay on the lips long maybe for like an hour or less and they do transfer if your drinking or eating.


Overall I do like the idea of this product, you just snap a palette in the compact and go. However, I don't like that it only comes with one compact because the other one is out and sustainable to being damaged. I believe this set was $4 I think it is great for the price, I give it a rating of 7.5 out of 10.

Milani Color Perfection Lipstick 2012


 I know I'm late with posting a review of these lipsticks since now Milani has brand new lipsticks coming out, but better late than never right? Anyway, let me start by saying I've been dying to try one of Milani's lipsticks, I've heard nothing but great things about them and the fact that my favorite youtube guru, Cora of VintageorTacky, used them had me wanting to buy one and I finally did. I got one of the lipsticks from last year's collection. There wasn't many to choose from at my local H-E-B, but I ended up getting Tiki-Tiki-Pink.



The color is absolutely gorgeous and is the perfect pink color that I've been looking for.It's such a girl  a rosey pink, it does contain some shimmer but it's not so overwhelming. Anyway, the packing of the lipstick is a peach tube with gold lettering. I will the admit the color of the tube is what drew my eye to the lipstick in the first place. The lipstick smells so pretty, it definitely won't bother you if you are picky with scents. It's so creamy and smooth and offers full coverage. It also make your lips look and feel so incredibly soft, however as the color starts fading it does feel like it's drying out your lips. 
The staying power of the lipstick on it's own is maybe an hour to an hour and a half, which is pretty good, but with a lip liner underneath it can last up to four hours. However, it does transfer off the lips if you are eating or drinking. I bought this lipstick for $3, since it was on sale. I think originally it's like $3 and some change, almost $4. If you've been wanting to try these out now is the perfect time to pick one up before you can't find them anymore.

Keeping you up to date

Hello my beautiful angels,

This is just a little update of what's going on in my life. Well I will be moving this week, so I won't have time to post looks and reviews. I know I haven't posted a review in a while and I have a lot of things I wanted to review. I was thinking when I get settled in my new apartment that I would start reviewing some things. And I've been doing a little bit of shopping here and there so I will probably make a post for that. I know I haven't posted anything but makeup looks and I apologize I've been wanting to do outfit's of the day but I just keep forgetting about that. If y'all have on suggestions on what other post you would like to see let me know, and I will be happy to do them. Also I've been thinking about changing the layout of my blog or at least the background I love the colors but I just think it's time for a change. Anyways, once I'm all settled in and unpacked I will start have posts available every 3 days and if you have any request of what you would like to see just let me know and I will be happy to do them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and Happy Valentine's day!
-Tori

So guys I'm sooo happy to announce that I finally reached a 100 subscribers on my youtube! Ahhh it's so exciting! I also wanted to take this time and take you guys for following my blog, you don't know how much this means to me! When I started making videos and blogging I honestly didn't think I would get this far. So once again THANK YOU! Also I just wanted to let y'all know that I am hosting a giveaway on my youtube channel in honor of reaching a 100 subbies (www.youtube.com/user/Toritherebelangel), if you would like to be part of this giveaway all you have to do is subscribe!

Moving on, I wanted to share my goals for this year, for both my online and personal life. I want my blog and channel to grow even more. I also will be including hair tutorial, more reviews, Outfits of the day, posts about whats going on in my life and DIY projects. I want to expand and reach out more to a broader audience and I will still be doing makeup looks. I have so many looks planned and I can't wait to show y'all. As for my personal life I want to get back on track and start getting fit. I was exercising daily but just stopped when my life got busy and I love the way I look but I just want to improve my body a bit and be able not to feel all blah. I also want to step out of my comfort zone, since it's what stops me from doing things at times. Well this is all I can think of that I set out to accomplish this year. I would love to hear what you guys want to happen this year, just comment down below! :D

Remember guys no matter what you set out to do in life never let anyone stop you. If something doesn't go your way don't get discourage and always remember sometimes you have to make things happen for yourself, don't just sit around and wait for it to happen! :)
