Elegant Evening Clutch Suprise

This looks like it could be a nice evening clutch, great for a party, or just for a night out and you want a touch of fancy. I mean this case is nicer then most purses I own. But its not a clutch, and i actually feel bad for putting in my purse, because I have to pull out this beautiful thing, and my purse can't compare.

 This actually happens to be the Sonia Kashuk Glitter Glows Eye Palette from her holiday 2010 collection. This is my first Sonia Kashuk item and since it's not the holiday season anymore I got it for $4.65 on clearance at Target instead of the $17 it use to be. 

 This palette is thin and sleek. It fits in the palm of my hand. I love the silvery, glittery outside and that it feels sturdy. The inside is a different story though. 

The top row has 3 eye shadows, silver glitter, white glitter and gold glitter. The bottome row has 3 liner/shadows, grey with glitter, black with glitter and brown with glitter. When I first saw this palette i was excited. I don't have any shadows quite like these and was very disappointed because I don't believe that the glitter shadows should even be considered shadows. Its basically a loosely packed glitter that goes every where and has no color pay off. 

The liners, which could serve as shadows, are just so-so, to me at least. They're soft and can blend, but they need to be packed on and feel sort of dry. 

This palette does accomplish what it was intended for, giving you a party glam look. 

Pros: packaging, pretty colors, portable

Cons: fallout, too much glitter, no color payoff

I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone and am glad that I paid less then 5 dollars for it, so its not like I lost a lot of money. Its better then paying the original 17 dollars.

Collective Haul January/February Pt. 1

I wanted to do a haul post because in the past two months I sort of went makeup crazy and just over loaded on buying makeup. I decided to do a video because i didn't want to write down all the descriptions. The only problem is: I drank like 2 large cans of Monster, so I'm all jittery and jumpy and rambling. Also its going to be a three part video, not a two part, like i originally claimed.

I also named some things wrong.

When I say Sally Hansen, I mean Sally girl, the brand from Sally Beauty Supply.

I also named a Wet N' Wild trio incorrectly, but I fixed the name in the bottom.

This Is Not Nude on Nude

At first glance this could look like NYX's Nude On Nude palette, and if you're thinking that I already did a Nude on Nude review, then all I have to say is Thank You, you read my last blog post. :)

 Apparently this is so similar to Nude on Nude, that when I showed them to my other makeup junkie friend, she asked if I had bought 2 of the same palette. But I couldn't resist. ULTA was having a BOGO sale on NYX and these are the colors I gravitate towards, and though they look the same, they're definitely not. 

 It is in a sleek black compact box that fits into the palm of your hand, housing a mirror, 9 shadows, 2 lip color, and a dual shadow/lip brush. There are 3 finishes: matte, shimmer and velvet. The 2 lip colors are just... ugly. In my opinion, I will never use them. 

 The shades are warmer than the Nude palette because it's the Bronze palette. (ha)

The shades are great for summer time. Sun kissed skin and this palette will go hand in hand. I'll use it all year round though. 

 The shadows in this palette are better than the Nude palette. The shadows are extremely pigmented and blend flawlessly without creating a muddy, ruddy mess. They are soft, smooth and don't have any fallout (i haven't created any at least) 

 All the shades compliment each other so you can create a sexy eye quickly, or just sweep one color on the you lid and you'll be good to go. 

Pros: pigmented, soft, portable, blendable, sleek, cheap.

Cons: the two lips colors.

Just like the Nude on Nude palette this is a must have.

Did I Get NAKED?

The Urban Decay NAKED Palette might be the most wanted and hyped palette ever created, and I have been eying it for a good while myself. And the other day Sephora was back in stock! I was super excited, I went online right away.

So, did I get NAKED?

These swatches are nude in shade, pigmented, and soft.

But, for those of you who know the NAKED Palette, you will notice that these swatches are missing 3 colors, though they are similar, I did not get NAKED, but I did get NUDE.

I instead, and impulsively got the NYX Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit. 

I had come upon around 40 dollars of some extra money that I could spend freely, and why not spend it at the ULTA? I want the NAKED Palette desperately but would settle for any Urban Decay palette that had Half-Baked and Twice-Baked in it, but sadly, a lot of the palettes there were sold out :(

Then I decided on the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette, but after looking around and swatching some other palettes, I decided I wasn't going to settle for something that was just as expensive as Urban Decay, but not what I wanted. 

 So I made my way to the NYX section because I have been wanting some of their glitter liners and some more jumbo eye pencils, maybe the Winter In Moscow Palette or one of the Runway Palettes, but my eyes were drawn to their Look Kits and i was gone, I only had eyes for them. 

 There are 4 Look Kits: Smokey Look Kit, Purple Smokey Look Kit, Bronze Smokey Look Kit, and the Nude On Nude Natural Look Kit. I picked up the nude and the bronze, but the bronze is for a different post.

These were impulse buys. I had no idea these palettes existed, I usually research the products I want, read reviews. But if I didn't buy this right away, I wasn't sure I'd see it again, it was the only one left, I mean, the NYX section was ravaged through. 

 I open this immediately because I just had to look at the colors in person and touch them, just a little. It comes in a sleek little black box that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. There are 9 shadows with 3 different finishes. Matte, Satin and Shimmer. There are also 2 lips colors (that I probably won't use, because I don't care about them). The shadows are soft and pigmented, but they are a tad powdery, so this may cause some fallout if you don't take measures to prevent it. 

 I am in love with every shadow in this palette, and the best part is, after doing some researching on it, I found out that it is considered a dupe for the NAKED Palette, the palette I wanted all along! If that wasn't fate, then I don't know what it.

Pros: pigmented, soft, blendable, cheap, sleek packaging, portable. 

Cons: powdery, small amount of shadow.

All in all, I believe that the cons mean nothing with all the pros of this palette. I would recommend this as a must have for most people.

Do you like nude palettes?

Are you lusting over the NAKED Palette?

Do you like inexpensive yet great palettes?

Then get the NYX Nude On Nude Natural Look Kit!!

It's a no brainer. Two Thumbs Up

Rimmel London Sexy Curves Mascara

Let's be honest, when you watch enough YouTube videos, and read enough blogs you give into the hype of products. I give in all the time. If I hear good things about a product enough times, I will go out and buy it. That is exactly what I did with this mascara, and that was a mistake. 

I have never tried Rimmel London products before and wasn't sure what to expect but there are so many beauty gurus who raved about this mascara so one day while browsing my local ULTA and came across the Rimmel London display and thought "why not?" 

I hate how this brush is shaped, and hot wet the formula is. My lashes weren't sexy at all, especially since I only had about 3 lashes when I was done because my lashes did nothing but clump together.

I returned this mascara.

Pros: The bottle shape and color is cute.

Cons: Stupid brush. Wet formula. Clumps lashes. 

The bottom line is I hate this mascara. I have told my friends to not even try this mascara. 

Two thumbs down
