Milani HAUL!



I just had a 'WOW' moment! As I was walking down the makeup aisle in Walgreens I discovered Milani Cosmetics! I have seen them before but never really stopped. The packaging kindda turned me off so I never gave it a second look. Today though, it was different because their baked eye shadows caught my eye. At a little over 6 bucks, they are amazing! Super pigmented, beautiful wet or dry ! Available in drugs stores and www.milanicosmetics.com I picked up 3 to try it out but I will be back for a lot more. I am super happy with the quality! The packaging looks a little cheep but what matters is the shadow. Love love love them!

The first eye shadow is a Marbleized Baked 'MIX IT UP 609'
Super pigmented almost creamy, great texture. Kind of a blackish blue hue, I would use this for a very dramatic look or a awesome Liner!

The next one is Marbleized Baked 'MELANGE 608'
A grayish gold color perfect for the crease.

Last one is not a baked but just as beautiful RUNWAY EYES wet/dry in color '#3 BRONZE DOLL'
Gold glittery very pigmented, yet soft enough to use during the day. lovely inner corner eye color or all over the lid.

Such beautiful colors. All under 7 bucks each ! I think I have started a collection. I can feel it. =)



My favorite mascara








Like I mentioned in my previous post 'The Falsies' from MAYBELINE is my favorite mascara, and trust me I have tried many of them. This mascara comes in reg and waterproof, I always pick waterproof since every time I use regular, my lashes kind of lose their curl. Some dont like waterproof because its a bit harder to wash off for them. I use Neutrogena Oil-Free eye make up remover to take off all my eye make up and it takes a few second. Both the mascara and the eye make up remover are inexpensive and can be found in your local drug store. =)

N Y X Nude on Nude pallete





Nicely pigmented, super blendable colors. Love it!

Quick look on ECOTOOLS and E.L.F items I got
















all the e.l.f. products were less than 5 bucks! I am really liking e.l.f. cosmetics! The eco tools range from 5 to 15, and well worth it! Love their brushes!

Rimmel The MAX vs Maybelline's The Falsies!





I heard about Rimmel's mascara, I happen to pass by it the other day and wanted to try it out. I have to tell you, even though it is a water proof mascara and I curled my lashes... it still felt limp. Once I put my two coats. I noticed how flat my lashes went. That only happens to me when I use regular mascara, never water proof. I didn't like it.

Compare to my STILL favorite MAYBELLINE's The Falsies



I will be sticking to my favorite MAYBELINE's The Falsies!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ulta Salon Formula Nail Lacquer HAUL!
 Just got my order from Ulta, I have been thinking about new colors from China Glaze and the color I needed was sold out, but I noticed the the side of the website they were giving me suggestions on other products I might like, and their own Ulta brand of nail lacquers cought my eye.
                                         First off I want to say that the bottles are very cute and have this expensive feel to it. For $2 they look beautiful!
