  • Begin by placing a white base on your lid and blending it over your lid, this will help make the color pop more than a primer will do on its own.

BH Cosmetics


I had purchased many items from BH Cosmetics a couple of months of go through a sale they were having. I've been trying to review them but every time I am going to something comes up and I have to delay the review. So with out further to do let's get started.

 The first thing I'm going to review is the 120 4th edition pallet. This pallet consists of mostly shimmery colors. However, some are not as shimmery as others. These colors are so vibrant and gorgeous. When you put a white base under them the colors becomes even brighter as you will see from my swatches. I will admit I  have not used all the colors from the pallet. I give this one two thumbs up it is worth the buy, especially when they are on sale.

L: Without a base R: With a white base



The second pallet I bought was the 88 Matte pallet and if you seen my tutorials you'll know that this is my favorite pallet. I love the colors they are so bright and just gorgeous. A little goes a long way. When used over a white base the colors become more intense. The only disappointment with this pallet is the yellow isn't as bright as I would want it to be. Also,another thing that is a disappoint with all their pallets is that the glue that holds the eye-shadows in place isn't very good I have two eye-shadows, one in each pallet, that pops out, but if you can live with that then the pallets are amazing. This is also another great buy since the colors are so amazing.
Swatches:
L: Without Base R: With a white base












I had gotten three eyeliners from them as well. The gel eyeliner is amazing it stays all day and doesn't budge at all,which is awesome the one I got is in onyx. However,the only thing that I do not like is that it is not as dark as I want it to be I have to go over it with an eye-shadow to make it dark.



I got the liquid eyeliner pen. That one is my absolute favorite. It easy to use and can give me a thin line when I want one or a thick line. It is amazing. It's budge proof as well which is good for this crazy Texas weather. I would say it is a must buy from them.




Finally,the last eyeliner I bought was their pencil liner in frost. I regret buying this. It doesn't show up on my waterline when I use it. So I tried to use it as a base to get my money's worth out of it. It hurts to do so, but of course I would probably keep trying to find some way to use it. I don't like this liner I don't know if the other ones are good so I can't speak for their whole collection all I know is that Frost isn't worth the buy. It's completely awful!
Swatches: Gel, Liquid pen, Frost






The last things I bought were two of their lip glosses. I got Studious and 80's Diva. Studious is more of a very light almost nude pink it's super pretty. 80's Diva is a very hot pink color, more or less and I love it.Out of these two my go to color is Studious. Both glosses are great in terms of color payout. The only things that I do not like is that they have that sticky feel to them and the colors don't last that long. I think they are great for the price they are sold at. I would probably try other colors from their collection.

Updates

Hello Peoplez, 
So ever day this week I've made a tutorial. The looks are different but they all have one thing in common they are colorful! I've been hard at work trying to get a video posted. I've been trying since Tuesday and I don't know why youtube wouldn't take it but anyways it is up now. So I've been busy making tutorials and I wanted to blog today but didn't really have anything to blog about so I thought I would just update y'all on my current activities.

Also, I have been hard at work creating a header and an ad button and if you would like to swap ads/buttons let me know. Well have a great day everybody, I'll talk to you soon.

Wet n Wild Lipstick








A couple of weeks ago I went to Houston and my aunt had bought me a Wet n Wild Lipstick and a make-up sponge but I'm going to write a review for that tomorrow. I have never tried any of their lipsticks, so I was ecstatic to finally be able to try one. The one I got was 903C Just Peachy. I am in love with this lipstick! Ever since I've gotten it, I have been wearing it. The color is so pretty and I just absolutely love it. I t doesn't have that sticky feel that some lipsticks have when you wear them. Overall, this lipstick is amazing and if you haven't tried it you should

ifabbo Endorsed/Weekend Plans

Hello Peoplez,
Yesterday I was notified that my application has been approved and I am now endorsed by ifabbo! I'm so happy about it. I have no idea what else to say but I'm totally looking forward to this experience. :)

Finally the weekend has arrived! This weekend I was planning on putting up more reviews but my friend/sista from another mother is coming over today and I haven't seen her in what feels like forever. So my original plans will be put on hold until tomorrow. Today we might end up doing a "photo-shoot" maybe, who knows but if there is one I will definitely put pictures up. What are your guy's plan for the weekend?

I think that's enough blogging for the day I'm gonna go take a nap since I'm running on 4 hours of sleep.

Have a super fantabulous weekend!

London Soho New York Beauty Sponge

London Soho New York Beauty Sponge


As mentioned in yesterday's post while I was in Houston my aunt had bought me a lipstick and make-up sponge. I've been wanting one for the longest just to try it out. I love this sponge I think it's better to use than a brush, since it can better apply foundation under your eyes and around your nose. The only thing that I do not like about it, is that is easily stains. No matter how much I clean it I still have stains from my foundation on it. I can totally live with that but I rather it maintain it's pinkness. I know there are different one out there but I think this is the cheapest. I believe it was $7.99 at Wal-greens.

Influenster Summer VoxBox 2012


undefined

So a couple of weeks ago I was notified by Influenster that I was picked to review products for their Summer VoxBox. A week ago I recieved my box and I couldn't wait to open it. I received six products: Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30, Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color, Tampax and Always Radiant Collection, Sally Hansen Nails and Cuticles Hand Creme, Quaker Soft Baked Bar in Banana Nut Bread and Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy. I decided to test these products for a week starting with the day I got them. So without further to do I shall tell you guys what I think of them. :)




I shall start off with the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30. The bottle I received is a 2 Fl. Oz bottle, the price for ,I'm guessing, a regular 6 Fl. Oz bottle is $8.99. I think for that price is pretty good considering that this sunscreen is a lotion as well and will definitely keep your skin hydrated as it protects you from the sun. I definitely must admit the best thing about this sunscreen lotion is the smell, I absolutely love it! It's not very strong if your one of those people who are picky about smells.This lotion Sunscreen has 12-hour moisturization when out in the sun. Overall I would say this is a good product, and if you don't believe me you should try it yourself. :)


Moving right along, the next product I'm about to discuss, I absolutely LOVED like love soooo much! This product is the Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color. The color I received is Silver Element, which is just well basically a silver color but it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm not gonna lie ever since I've received this nail polish I've been rocking it on my nails and gotten so many compliments on it. The only thing about this product that I don't like which I don't think it's a big deal but others might find it to be is that the designs aren't all consistent some are a lot more noticeable while some are barely noticeable. I don't know if maybe because I didn't hold the magnetic over the nail polish long enough but I shall continue to mess around with it to see if that's the case. However, I think it's actually cool since no nail is not really alike as least with the patterns. The cost for this nail polish is some what pricey if your on a budget, it's $9.99 but it's a lot cheaper than the one sold at Sephora which I believe is like $15. So, compared to that it's definitely a good price. I would recommend this product to every girl who loves trying something new on their nails, trust me you won't be disappointed.



Talking about Sally Hansen, I will tell you my thoughts on the Nails and Cuticles Hand Creme. Honestly, I have a love/hate kind of thing going on with this product. When I apply it, it makes my hands feel extremely soft and I love it but when I don't my hands feel really weird, I guess you can say like they are dry and this started happening after using this product.  However, I do like that this hand creme is good for  your nails it conditions them. It's Active moisture complex formula with ceramides helps to lock in nutrients so hands maintain their ideal moisture level. It last 24-hours, even after washing your hands. For a full size bottle of this lotion will cost you $5.99. I also will say that I do love the smell of this lotion, go figure :), it's a very faint citrus smell but if you're not found of fragrances like this than this isn't the product for you. All in all I would recommend this lotion to people just because it does so many good things for your hands.


The product I have a love/hate relationship with is the Tampax and Always Radiant Collection. This collection consist of tampons, pads, and liners that tailor to a women's need. This collections also consist of a cute pouch. I love that the pad wrappers are re-seal-able making it easier to "disguise" your period. The pad, when you open it, has an arrow telling you which way is the front which I think it's cool. Let's face it ladies we all have the moment when we don't know which way goes which. The only thing that I don't love about this collection is that the pads and I believe the liners consist of a scent. It smells pretty but I don't like that it's on the pad, I don't know it's just weird and plus it can cause your pH system in your vagina to change and that can cause you to get an infection. The price for this collection depends on the box.

This Quaker Soft Baked Bar in Banana Nut Bread is absolutely delicious, I love it. It is made with real bananas and almonds. It has 5g Fiber, 20% of daily value of 5 B vitamins and 6g of Proteins. I think these bars are ideal for everyone especially if you are trying to eat healthy or trying to find healthy snacks for your kids. This are $3.29 for a package of bars. I think it's totally work the price and I will definitely be buying me some.

The last and final products I received are the Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy shampoo and conditioner. These products are suppose to nourish the scalp and make your hair stronger in 7 days. My hair is very fragile and I've been wanting a shampoo and conditioner that will help make my hair stronger since I want to grow it out. And trust me when I say this product does do what it says my hair feels sooooo much stronger than it did before. I definitely love it! The price for them varies by size and there are two sizes a 12.7 oz and a 12.9 oz and price ranges between $4.99-$5.99. If your hair is fragile and could use some help I think you should  absolutely buy them. It's well worth the money.

*Disclosure: These products were sent to me from Influenster for testing purposes.
