Review: Nyx Blushes

Hi Ladies!

Nyx has become one of my favorite lower end makeup brands. They have great quality products at affordable prices. I recently purchased 4 different colored blushes and they are all beautiful. For $5.00 each, you really can't go wrong. Their blushes are soft and pigmented. They have a large range of colors which come in a variety of finishes.

The colors that I purchased were Terra Cotta, Pinched, Mocha, and Coral Dream. The pictures don't really do the blush justice. The swatches are a little more accurate than the colors in the pan.

Review: Lorac Pro Palette

Hi Ladies!

As many of you know, I have been lusting over the Lorac Pro Palette for months. My husband surprised me with one for Valentine's Day and it has quickly become one of my favorite palettes. The Pro Palette is very versatile and has a great mixture of mattes and shimmers. It comes with 8 matte shadows and 8 shimmer shadows. You can create so many different looks with these shadows ranging from a very natural day time looks to dark smokey eyes. The colors have a bit of fall out due to the creamy soft texture of the shadows but it doesn't bother me at all. The colors blend great and stay on all day (when pairing with a primer). This set also came with the Behind the Scenes Eye Primer which I liked. It worked well, I just wish that it had more of a color to cover the veins in my eyes. Once the shadows are on you can't see them. 

Review: Kushyfoot Products*

Hi Ladies!
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try out some Kushyfoot products. I received 3 different products that I will be reviewing below. For those of you unfamiliar with Kushyfoot, it is a footwear and hosiery company that sells everything from slippers and ballet flats to knee highs, tights, and socks. They also carry a men's line of socks. Their prices are super affordable and their items are cute, stylish, and comfortable.

TAG: Would You Rather? Beauty Edition

Hi Ladies!
The lovely Lauren from Will Sing for Makeup tagged me in this fun Would You Rather...Tag. Below are the questions and my answers.

1) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

I would rather loose all of my palettes and eyeshadows. I would be able to find other products to use as eyeshadows. Also, I could not live without mascara and some type of  product.

Spring Fashion Trends

Hi Ladies!
Now that we are almost into Spring, I wanted to discuss some of the trends that I believe will be big this season. I am SO excited for Spring. After this long, cold, and snowy winter, I am ready for grass, flowers, and 70 degree weather!

Here are the trends that I am seeing already:

Neon colors-I love wearing bright colors, especially when the weather is bright and cheery too. Stores are starting to carry a lot of neon pink, green, and blue. I have seen tons of bright lipsticks and nail colors. I am also starting to see a lot of costume jewelry in funky neon colors as well as handbags and sunglasses. Hot Pink lips are something that I look forward to rocking this Spring. I have seen orange lip color here and there. I am not sure if I like it personally, but it is definitely trending.

Highlighter Smackdown

Hi Ladies! 
Over the past couple of months I have purchased three different highlighters/illuminators. I really like them all but there is one that stands out above the rest.

Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls in Beige Pearl

This was the most recent highlighter purchase of the three. I got this at CVS for 40% off. I believe it was  $8.40. I like the nice glow that this palette gives. The powder is soft and creamy and goes on very nicely.

Review: NYX Concealers

Hi Ladies!

Today I am going to review some Nyx concealers. As you will see below, I have dark circles and have had them my whole life. I have searched high and low for a concealer that would covered them completely and not look like I have a ton of product on my face. I have used stuff that was too dark and made my circles worse and concealers that were too light and made them look gray. I have also tried products that made my dark circles look orange. Besides reviewing the products, I will show you how I use each of them.
