These NYX Jumbo Pencils are a life saver!! I seriously would be lost without them.,
I absolutely love NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. I've been doing my makeup for years. Ok maybe like 19 years to be exact! But I always did what I thought was a great job at doing my makeup! But about 3 months ago I ran into a couple ladies & their makeup looked like a professional did it. And what bothered me most was their eye shadow & how pigmented it looked. I had asked them in a round about way what brand they were wearing. When they told me the brand I was like wait a minute I use that brand & mine does not even look close to that. When they explained that they applied a eye shadow base then applied the eye shadow! I made them break it down for me.
That is how I ended up buying this NYX jumbo eyeliner set. Not only was I out of eyeliner but they mentioned the jumbo milk by NYX is what they used for a base. I couldn't believe it & then decided I need to give it a try so my eye makeup looks as good as theirs. When these arrived I couldn't even wait I needed to test them out. I never heard of this brand and when looking at my local stores I couldn't find these eye pencils. Or else I probably would have bought them & I probably would have never thought to use them as a base for my eye shadow.
My first thoughts when using them was wow. Because they just glided on and when applying them they didn't clump up like a regular eyeliner would. And when I applied them to my water line I was scared I was going to poke my eye out because there big enough to be in control of. I use the white(milk) more though. Because it works great as a base! When dabbing my shadow on it makes them so much more darker & the shimmers in my shadows stand out much more. And I even noticed my eye shadow lasted all day long! Usually by the end of the night my eye shadow is wore off or super light.
I then ran into the biggest problem, I had no more of the milk pencil left and couldn't figure out how to get more out. So I tried sharpening it with a jumbo sharpener & the pencil/milk part kept breaking and I couldn't get it to a point. Then I thought what if I froze them then sharpened them! And it worked. The eye liner part was hard and sharpened to a point and didn't break no more. After I sharpened them I sat them to the side & it doesn't take long for them to warm back up. I froze them for like an hour then sharpened them sat them to the side for like 20 min. So now I am excited all over again because I initially thought I would have to buy more! That would have been so frustrating because they don't cost a lot but to spend $5-$10 and be out of the product in a few days & have to buy more is just not ideal for me. So that would have been my only complaint. Yes I wish there was an easier way to get more of the product out without having to freeze them. But hey it works!
Overall I am very happy with my purchase & definitely recommend these NYX jumbo pencils to everyone. They can be used for just eyeliner, or an eye shadow base. Definitely worth the price!

My review for Art Naturals Makeup Setting Spray 4.0 oz Long Lasting / All Day Extender - All Natural with Aloe Vera!!!
My make-up only lasted the most 6 hours!,
I have been using setting sprays for about a year maybe longer. And everyone I have used has a smell to it! Not a pleasant smell either. Its bad enough the makeup we use has its own weird smells. Not all but a lot of makeup does have a smell! And then to spray your face & nearly choke because the smell is awful. I had to throw my last one because it smelled so bad & the smell didn't leave after it dried.
I then decided to give this Art Naturals make-up setting spray a try. And the first time I used it I sprayed it on a small area of my face, to make sure I didn't break out. After about an hour I decided to wash my face & put on some basic makeup. I wanted to see how long it would hold my basic make-up before applying a full on face. Basic make-up to me is foundation, translucent powder, eyeliner on my water line & mascara. After doing my makeup I sprayed my face in the shape of an X and a T then sprayed my chin. I do it this way to make sure I get every area of my face! I went outside & did my normal routine of watering the flowers, checking the mail, and reading a book on my porch. And I noticed my nose was pretty moist. I continued to read no wiping my face or anything. I then ran a few errands & came home. When I got home I went to check to see if my makeup was still in tact. When I looked in the mirror I was so upset because my eyeliner was running and my cheeks had streaks going down them. I couldn't believe it! Because when I applied the setting spray it dried matte instantly. And my face felt refreshed! And I was in public looking like this, I thought maybe I did something wrong. So the next day I decided to do a full face. Foundation, Transulcent Powder, eye shadow, eyeliner top of eyelid & water line, drew on my eye brows & blush plus added some highlighting to my cheek bones etc. I then sprayed the setting spray in an X, T & circle. Plus a couple more sprays. Thought maybe I didn't spray enough the day before. I went about my normal day but I decided to stay in the house for a couple hours then attempt to water my flowers & then go do my grocery shopping. About 3 hours in I decided I needed to get what I needed to get done, done! I was gone for about 2 hours. When I got in my car & looked in the mirror my eye liner was on the crease of my top eyelid in the corner of my eye. I had mascara marks(not bad but noticable). I was confused because I sprayed a ton on this time! Gave it awhile to set even though my face was dry & my house is cold. Because I have a central air! I am not sure if it works for some & not others or what. All setting sprays I have used worked cheap & high end ones. I used this setting spray for a couple weeks with the same results.
The only pros this setting spray has is it has no smell, I didn't break out & it does dry matte. When spending so much time doing your make-up just to have it melt off in a couple hours is frustrating. Especially when you have to work or have errands to run. Going out with your friends or partner! That is why I am giving it 2 stars. Because it did hold for a couple hours (4-6 hours) each time. And it doesn't have a smell & dries matte instantly! Just because its not for me doesn't mean it might not be for you! It just didn't work for me. I can't say I recommend it because it didn't work the way it states it should. Its supposed to set your makeup for up to 16 hours but didn't last that long for me. Maybe if I was in air conditioning all day it would. But its not ideal to be able to just sit in a cool environment when you have stuff to get done.
I purchased this product at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience.

My review for Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte Plus Poreless Foundation Makeup, Porcelain, 1 Fluid Ounce!!
A little goes a long way & applies nicely! Medium Coverage + light wieght.,
I also liked that it is very easy to apply & isn't streaky. What I mean by streaky is with other foundations when blending the foundation would dry and almost look like glue. Basically it would clump and just look awful. And with this foundation you don't need a ton a little goes a long way. Lastly the biggest thing I liked is that after wearing it all day my makeup still looked nice. For some reason when I wear foundation all day long, my forehead will look like I never put anything on it, and in between my eyebrows & cheeks. I even slept with this foundation on too see how well it would hold up & to my surprise it actually stayed except around my eyes. Probably because my eyes water bad when I am sleeping! Not sure why but they do.
If you can't afford the high end foundations I highly recommend giving Fit Me Foundation by Maybelline a try. And if your like me & have a hard time finding the perfect shade you can mix a lighter shade or darker shade until you find the right tone for you! And for the price you really can't go wrong. I also found using a beauty blender/sponge that my foundation went on much more smooth & even!

I ordered this Fit Me Foundation because I have been hearing great things about it. Its so hard picking a shade online so I went with the lightest shade. Which was 110 Porcelain! Which honestly I wish I would have went up a shade because Porcelain was a little to pale for my skin tone. I can never seem to nail the shade that is perfect for me.
Even though it was a little to pale for me there are still a few things I really liked about this foundation. The first thing is that my face didn't feel cakey! And my skin could still breath. Very light weight & I also really like the consistency it isn't to thin or to thick which is really nice. For me it seemed to be a medium coverage, I did play around and mixed one of the other foundations I have been using with this one & ended up getting an almost full coverage foundation. And the shade wasn't so pale. Another thing I really thought was nice is how it dries matte even after mixing with another foundation of mine. Over the years that is one thing I have always wanted in a foundation. Because all the foundations I have ever used would be super shiny & even after applying powder it still had a shine/oily look. It really depends on the weather but most times my skin is just normal. Winter months my skin is super dry & in the summer months its more soft & not oily or dry. Its hard to explain!

My review for Besteel 6 PCS Womens Rubber Necklace Chain Double Line Tattoo Choker Necklace Stretch Elastic Set for Teen Black Color 80s 90s!!!
These Tattoo Chokers take me back to when I was a little girl! I love them.,
I loved wearing these tattoo necklaces when I was a little girl. All my school pictures I am wearing one of these chokers! As the years went by I felt like people would start making fun of me because these were old school as some would say. But now that I am older & realize that it doesn't matter what others think. The only thing that matters is how you feel & if you like something then enjoy it. I was so excited to buy these!
All 6 chokers came in a cute little Besteel Jewelry Bag. Its like a suede/felt material. I was nervous my head might be too big to get the choker on. But it fit! These were exactly as I remembered them. These seem like there made of a better quality elastic than I remember. And when you take it off it goes back to being small which is nice. My Nieces who are 5 & 6 begged me for one! Which I really didn't want to share but seeing there is 6 I let them both have one. The excitement on their faces took me back to when I was little. And they looked super cute!! I also love the fact that these are made of plastic & stretch. Metal chokers you have to worry about it being way to tight with these you don't have to worry. I am very pleased with my purchase & I definitely recommend these to anyone in the market looking to buy some tattoo chokers.
I purchased these tattoo chokers at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience.

My review for the Mirrorvana Vanity 8-Inch Double-Sided Magnifying Makeup Mirror, 1X and 10X Magnification!!!
I find plucking & doing my makeup much more enjoyable with this mirror. Very nice & BIG!!!,
This mirror exceeded my expectations plus more! When it comes to beauty & getting ready for the day, its nice to have a big enough mirror with one side that magnifies. I dislike standing in my bathroom mirror plucking my eyebrows & having to maneauver around a bunch to get close enough & still not get every single hair. Not only that but even when doing my makeup my eyes always look like distant cousins. I finally decided I had enough & purchased this Mirrorvana Vanity 8-Inch Double Sided Magnifying Mirror at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion.
I was so nervous that it would be broken by the time it arrived but to my surprise it wasn't. It was securely packaged & even comes in a very nice box which I am keeping just in case I move I can pack it up with no worries of it getting broke! You do have to assemble it yourself when you receive it. But that is no biggie because all you have to do is screw the top half to the base & its together. Literally takes a matter of seconds! Now onto the things I love about this mirror.
I love the size of the mirror, its perfect to get up close & personal, whether your using just the mirror side or the magnifying side. I like that the mirror flips so instead of completely turning the entire mirror/stand you can just flip the mirror. You can also get different angels with it as well instead of being stuck in one position. For example if say the lighting is too bright or not bright enough just tilt the mirror a little to get different lighting. Another thing I like is it don't slide easily, so you have to pick it up to move it. Which is nice! Overall this mirror is heavy duty, & nicely crafted.
The only flaw I found in the design was how small the base is! With the big mirror on top I am a littler nervous that it will be easy to be knocked over. But other than that I absolutely love everything about this mirror!

My review for Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit, Nude - Eye Shadow: 0.26 Ounce, Eyeliner: 0.02 Ounce & Mascara: 0.28 Ounce!!!
Great Colors & Very Shimmery! I love this kit.,
I have a slight addiction with makeup! And Physicians Formula is one of my go to brands. When I seen this Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit I needed it in my life. Not only because its Nude but because I love shimmery eye shadows/liners. So I bought it! I was very pleased when it arrived!
To begin I will start off with the eye shadow palette!
Nude Eye Shadow Palette: They really nailed the shimmery part of the eye shadows. So if your looking for a pigmented eye shadow this wouldn't be for you. But if your looking for that nice sheer shimmery look this palette would be perfect. I like taking a medium shade & applying to my eyelid. Then a darker shade in my crease with the lighter shade more closer to my eyelash line. And to set it off I take the lightest shade in the palette to give a nice highlight to my brow bone. I usually use a white eye shadow but I found the light tan gives it a more natural highlight! Not so obvious. End look is very nice & I definitely get lots of compliments. Now the brush/applicator that comes in the palette I dislike it picks up a lot of the product/shadow! And when applying the shadow most of it stays on the brush/applicator! It may just be me but I really do not like the brush! So I began using my finger until I can find a brush that works! Overall I am happy with the eye shadow palette!
Mascara Duo: There is only one thing I dislike and its that the brown end of the mascara is short. Why do I dislike that? The reason is because when you unscrew it & pull it out to use, the block limits how close you can get to your eyelashes. The block is the square part the brush comes out of! Now the end with the black mascara its long enough to get right in there & get all your lashes without your face fighting with the container. Now if I didn't have to fight with the brown I would have no complaints! I found that this mascara really gets all your lashes instead of a hit or miss or clumping. To me the bristles on the brush are strong but soft and really gets the look I have been wanting. I also like how when the brush starts out its small then big then small almost like a lemon. Oh that makes sense! Also the brush end is flexible meaning it bends instead of being stiff! Very nice & I am very pleased with the quality of this mascara! And to me it really makes my eyes pop.
Eyeliner Trio (Black & Metallic Gold)- I am extremely picky when it comes to eyeliners. Every makeup look I always have a line on top & on my water line. My one pet peeve is after getting my makeup perfect about a hour or so later I have a line in the crease of my eye where my eye shadow is. It gets frustrating especially when your out running errands etc! BUT I have to say Physicians Formula really nailed the quality of the these liners. The one is a jet black with with shimmer & the metallic gold is like a brown/metallic with lots of shimmer to it. They apply nicely! You don't have to apply pressure at all just lightly draw your line. I like to take the metallic gold & go over the top of the black line I do because to me it really gives a nice crisp look while looking completely natural. Its hard to explain! Now when it comes to them lasting 24 hours I do not think so. Yes 12 hours but not 24! You can go swimming & sweat & you will not have eyeliner running which is really nice.(Yes I tested this method out) I am not one who can go to the beach & look like a model coming out. So being able to apply a little makeup I can achieve the nice beach look when coming out of the water. And when the liner gets dull just twist where the eyeliner comes out.
Now when it comes to recommending this Nude Eyes Kit, I would have to say it aims more for the beginner audience rather than the advanced audience. Yes a more professional makeup artist will like these products but a beginner to me would get more use out of them. And this would be a great starting point for a beginner. Just my opinion, overall I am happy besides the few things I mentioned that I didn't like.

I have a slight addiction with makeup! And Physicians Formula is one of my go to brands. When I seen this Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit I needed it in my life. Not only because its Nude but because I love shimmery eye shadows/liners. So I bought it! I was very pleased when it arrived!
To begin I will start off with the eye shadow palette!
Nude Eye Shadow Palette: They really nailed the shimmery part of the eye shadows. So if your looking for a pigmented eye shadow this wouldn't be for you. But if your looking for that nice sheer shimmery look this palette would be perfect. I like taking a medium shade & applying to my eyelid. Then a darker shade in my crease with the lighter shade more closer to my eyelash line. And to set it off I take the lightest shade in the palette to give a nice highlight to my brow bone. I usually use a white eye shadow but I found the light tan gives it a more natural highlight! Not so obvious. End look is very nice & I definitely get lots of compliments. Now the brush/applicator that comes in the palette I dislike it picks up a lot of the product/shadow! And when applying the shadow most of it stays on the brush/applicator! It may just be me but I really do not like the brush! So I began using my finger until I can find a brush that works! Overall I am happy with the eye shadow palette!
Mascara Duo: There is only one thing I dislike and its that the brown end of the mascara is short. Why do I dislike that? The reason is because when you unscrew it & pull it out to use, the block limits how close you can get to your eyelashes. The block is the square part the brush comes out of! Now the end with the black mascara its long enough to get right in there & get all your lashes without your face fighting with the container. Now if I didn't have to fight with the brown I would have no complaints! I found that this mascara really gets all your lashes instead of a hit or miss or clumping. To me the bristles on the brush are strong but soft and really gets the look I have been wanting. I also like how when the brush starts out its small then big then small almost like a lemon. Oh that makes sense! Also the brush end is flexible meaning it bends instead of being stiff! Very nice & I am very pleased with the quality of this mascara! And to me it really makes my eyes pop.
Eyeliner Trio (Black & Metallic Gold)- I am extremely picky when it comes to eyeliners. Every makeup look I always have a line on top & on my water line. My one pet peeve is after getting my makeup perfect about a hour or so later I have a line in the crease of my eye where my eye shadow is. It gets frustrating especially when your out running errands etc! BUT I have to say Physicians Formula really nailed the quality of the these liners. The one is a jet black with with shimmer & the metallic gold is like a brown/metallic with lots of shimmer to it. They apply nicely! You don't have to apply pressure at all just lightly draw your line. I like to take the metallic gold & go over the top of the black line I do because to me it really gives a nice crisp look while looking completely natural. Its hard to explain! Now when it comes to them lasting 24 hours I do not think so. Yes 12 hours but not 24! You can go swimming & sweat & you will not have eyeliner running which is really nice.(Yes I tested this method out) I am not one who can go to the beach & look like a model coming out. So being able to apply a little makeup I can achieve the nice beach look when coming out of the water. And when the liner gets dull just twist where the eyeliner comes out.
