NYX Haul

I'm so stoked about what I got!

• NYX Ultimate Pearl Shadow in Purple Pearl, Blue Pearl, White Pearl, Charcoal Pearl, & Black Pearl - I love these! The 1st 2, along w/turquoise, would make a great bright-n-funky eye look, the white works good for highlighting, & the last 2, along w/silver, would be great for a smokey eye.


• NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Turquoise & Silver - These are also very beautiful colors & work well with the colors mentioned above.
  

I'm very pleased with my purchase!

My Latest e.l.f. Purchase

• 2 Concealer Brushes - I read that these are really good for multiple uses, which is why I got 2. I think this works well as a smudger. It can also be used as an eyeliner, but I like it as a smudger better.


• 3 lip pencils in Bitter, Mauve Luxe, & Natural Blush - I've only tried the first & last, so far. I like both, but I especially like bitter. It's a nice blue red and, combined with Moisture Care Lipcolor in Cherry Tart, you get a really good red lip. Most of you probably know that I've been looking for my perfect red lip. Well, I may have found it.


• 3 Moisture Care Lipcolors in Ruby Slipper, Cherry Tart, & Pink Lemonade - I like all of these! Although being somewhat sheer, these also have a good amount of color.


• 2 Shimmering Facial Whips in Lilac Petal & Camila - Very pretty shimmers for highlighting the face or for a shimmery cream eyeshadow.


• e.l.f. Mineral Glow in Shimmer - This isn't so ridiculously shimmery that it makes you look shiny, but it has a subtle shimmer to give you more of a "glow" effect. That's really what we want, right?


• e.l.f. Natural Lash Kit - I decided to be bold & daring. You're probably going to take in a collective gasp of horror at my next statement, but I have never worn false lashes before. I figured now was the time to start figuring it out. We'll see how that goes.

Well, that's it for now. I'l tell you about my NYX haul in another post.

Latest Purchase

Holy Cow, it's been awhile! I'm sorry! Life sure gets in the way sometimes. I've purchased some items, both from e.l.f., as I've noted in a previous post, & from NYX, so I'll be doing reviews on both purchases when I get them. You can see a partial NYX receipt below. Please "stay tuned" for that post. If your still reading, thanks for sticking w/me!

PencilMeInCosmetics.com

Remember a post I wrote not too long ago about a brand I just discovered-Pencil Me In Cosmetics? I was really excited to find a company that offered eye pencils in a wide range of colors at an affordable price. Most brands I've come across just offer the basics, such as black, navy, brown, & etc. But an eye pencil line in an array of colors at only $6.99 a pop? That's cool!

Well, the owner of the company, Linda Eisner, was sweet enough to send me a few pencils for review on this blog. What do I think of them? I LOVE them! They go on very smooth & the colors are sooo vibrant! In fact, in the photo below, I swatched them on my arm so you can get an idea of how vibrant these colors truly are! They are nicer in person than in the photo. Conclusion? If you want smooth eye pencils with plenty of color options w/o paying a pretty penny, PencilMeInCosmetics.com is the way to go!
