Review: NYX ultra pearl mania pigments

Hello everyone! I thought i would share a short little review about the NYX ultra pearl mania pigments. I have poured mine out into tiny little clear plastic jars that i got from wal mart, it came in a case of 24, i don't keep mine in the plastic case however because it does not fit in my makeup drawer. So, i have 12 pigments. A few things about these pigments.. pros/cons


PROS:
  • They are sooo so pigmented
  • Used over a good base there is zero fall out
  • Work well using over colors to add a little pop
  • Come in a huge variety of colors
  • A large amount of pigment in the little jars
  • Very pearly and shimmery, great for adding a highlight
CONS:
  • The packaging! The opening is so tiny you can barely use them in the original container.
  • Well.. that was a short list of cons, eh?


Below are pictures of the ones i own not in
the original containers. :)


White
charcoal

yellow pearl

Space

Jade

True purple

Very pink
Orange Zest

Black pearl

Silver pearl

Nude pearl

Sorry guys, just noticed i forgot to picture pearl.
Pearl is light light pink color which is great highlight or inner corner highlight.

THANKS FOR READING.

Review: Hard Candy lengthening mascara in limelight


This mascara looked so awesome. I've always looked at hard candy stuff online or on youtube videos and i was always hoping one day i'd walk into wal mart and see a new cosmetic section full of hard candy at my local wal mart. And one, day, i did. Except it wasn't local, it's an hour away over a mountain or two. I didn't have much money on me so i just picked up this mascara to try out. (i think i will try a few of their lipsticks simply because of how cute the packaging is, and colors, gah, love)

So i couldn't wait to try out this mascara this morning before i went into work and well... i was so dissapointed. The mascara was six dollars. It had no pigmentation at all. The mascara wand was horrible, it's really long and narrow and kind of hard. It doesn't have any hairs or brushyness about it. It's just like a wand or stick. It did nothing to my lashes as well, even though i was really only hoping my lashes would be the color it shows int he tube, even if it didn't do anything for my eyelashes. However it didn't do anything, no color, no lengthening.

0/10 stars. Yes, it's seriously that bad.

Review: Rimmel gentle eye makeup remover


This stuff is fantastic, i go through so much of it. It truly is amazing. It removes waterproof mascara (it says on the bottle it does, which i only just now saw) Also says removes all types of eye makeup. I really do love this makeup remover and it is not oily at all. I'm so sick of oil free makeup removers that are more greasy that vegetable oil and butter. This is like 6 dollars or so at any place that sells rimmel products, target, wal mart, cvs. 4.2 fluid ounces.

Review: maybelline great lash BIG mascara


This mascara i remember seeing years and years ago. But this is the big brush version. The brush is enormous, the BIG part doesn't lie. This mascara works pretty well though the BIG brush doesn't exactly help when trying to reach outer corner and inner corner lashes. It also doesn't do anything for length, but a bit for volume. Doesn't clump a lot, however. Also the sticker on the front was ready to peel off the day i got it. The point of having a sticker is that it sticks, maybelline. Overall, i do not think i'd purchase this mascara again. It just doesn't work for me.

Sephora inspired brush holder with a twist.


Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. This is an idea i got from ladies off youtube and few blogs i found on google. I had originally gone out to the dollar tree and bought two glass vases and filled them with pink sand which i also got from there for my brushes. The sand was sticking to the handles though, and i actually threw the sand in the trash right then and there, and the next day i bought glass drop things, however they are not large, they are the mini ones. like the decorative glass things you put in fish tanks or floral arrangements. Eventually the two glass vases got annoying to deal with. Then i got this little metal basket from work that's actually a Delicious Celebration container from Edible Arrangents. You can find them at goodwills for like 95 cents. :)

The picture below shows the beads pretty close to actual size, in the picture they are actually a tiny bit bigger.


Review: NYX candy glitter liners


I love NYX. I love just about all of their products from foundation, to primers to eyeshadows and pigments. However, i hate, HATE, these liners. The silver one has awesome pigmentation however the brush on the inside was all frayed out to the sides making use extremely difficult. The lavender one had barely any pigmentation and it almost seemed like it was dried out. The blue one had the same kind of issue. They took a while to dry then after they dried you could wipe them and the glitter would spread all over your face, so don't even try to keep these from getting in your eye, it will happen.

Another thing; don't store them laying on their sides. They leak!! They leaked all over the place and got on everything.

Cute packaging, though. ;D

Review: wet n wild mega liner liquid eyeliner


These eyeliners are horrible. I've seen so many reviews of these in other places saying how awesome they are. But i hate them! A year ago i got the turquoise color called "aqua" and i loved it so much and i could never find it, but then i found them at wal mart one day a few months ago and i bought a few more colors. They must have changed the formula or something because these don't go on well at all. The brush inside of one of them was like split down the middle and made application really hard. The eggplant colored one isn't pigmented at all, and the blue one just didn't cut it for me. Overall i would never buy these again.
