NYX Box of smokey looks collection (porkdaisy.com)

So I was given the Box of Smokey looks collection along with a couple of other items to review for PorkDaisy. (that will be in a video review next week). I am not to happy with this palette it has bad pigmentation I believe NYX could have done a lot better with this. I would say 90% of the eye-shadows are weak. The only ones I really liked were the shadows on the Bronze Smokey part of this palette. Also, a few from the natural. The Contour & highlight colors are pretty pigmented along with the blushes so thats always good. The lip glosses are okay.What I am really enjoying are the cream glitters, I truly love them I use them over the eye shadows for a pop of glam. The concealers suck but they are good for people who don't need a lot of coverage. Its a good buy for a beginner but for someone who likes highly pigmented products stay away from this palette .. Swatches of the entire kit below. Plus a link to a look I Posted on Youtube, HERE! Also get your palette HERE!

Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipsticks A Mini Review

This is just a mini review before I do my video A sneak peak I would say..These by far are one of my favorite drug store lip products..  They also claim to restore your lips in seven days I don't know yet Starting next week I will challenge that claim and say the result in my video. So I Only purchased three colors , Two I am more then happy with and one is ehh.. I won't return it because my mother enjoyed the color and I can always use it on her or other potential clients. (with a lip brush of course LOL).. First thing I noticed is some of these have an extreme amount of shimmer .. I HATE THAT so I tried to pick ones that were almost matte .. I wish they would have not included the shimmer It always makes me look extremely weird. Thats the only con . Pros , Its extremely and I mean EXTREMELY pigmented. It is nice and creamy but not slip and slide creamy like the NYX lippies once you put it on it dries up a little bit but feels like a lip balm and stays moist for hours. Also The color fades into a beautiful lip stain. That is a plus for me but only when you are eating and drinking. Also I only had to reapply once. It is VERY long lasting. The color variety is great from reds to browns pinks and even nudes and oranges .. Here are some pictures and swatches and a little description 
365 Enchantress , 325 Spell Bound, 400 Temptress
I am not  a big fan of enchantress too much shimmer and I hate shimmer on the lips. But I will live lol!
.
 
My two favorite are spellbound and Temptress.. They hardly have shimmer and look matte especially Spellbound .
Here are the swatches on my hand!
Now swatches on the lips I used a black background to put focus on the lip color.. 
My least favorite it would be such a pretty color if it wasn't shimmery ...

 My second favorite lip color this is very bright and very bold camera doesn't do it justice!! I loveee it
My Number one favorite Temptress this is BEAUTIFUL on me goes well with my skin tone and doesn't have alot of shimmer if any!!.. This is going to waste fast lol.. I just love it! This is a must have along with spellbound.. Here is a full picture
I am also wearing the new Fit me Foundation in 230 with My air-spun face  powder  in transparent.. 
Thank you for reading ladies a video review very soon!!

Black Rose Minerals a Blog review


 A New company just popped up called Black Rose Minerals ..
i  won a giveaway not so long ago and I have been playing with these pigments for a while and absolutey love the pigmentation, softness and color payoff you get with this. I love the texture they glide right on and blend so well. I won her Fall set and I love some of the colors they are shimmer but just a pinch and look pretty matte!.. Check out her website if you are interested! http://blackroseminerals.com/ .. I will be be doing a video review soon and maybe a wearable look! Here are some swatches and pictures with a little detail! 
Top 3 are : Halo , Earthen, Squash
Bottom 3 are: Harvest, Greener Grass, Ares
Swatched on top of Bitch Slap lite Correcter

This has to be my favorite color of the bunch! It is a skin tone color but has a soft shimmer to it
I wear this alone on my lid and do a dramatic winged liner for a pin up look..
super silky this is a must have
This is a nice deep rich brown with visible glitter Highly pigmented and also very silky and soft.
Blends super well.
Squash is like a Yellow orange .. Doesn't have as much glitter as Earthen does but this is very pretty.. 

The picture is showing this a Yellow but to me it looks like a dark pumpkin color.. You can tell above in the swatches those are the true colors. I like this one you hardly see the shimmers in this one so it comes off matte! One of my favorites !

This is a pretty Green with Shimmers in it.. Blends well and is very soft !!

This is a the prettiest of them all it is very unique and I really love this one. It is like a reddish brown and it reminds me of when the you come across an old chain and it has that reddish brown rust to it.. But this is silky and easier to blend a little bit of glitter !

So go check her out ladies and show some support she has amazing stuff here ..

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream swatches !!

Here are the upclose and personal swatches for The Lip Creams that NYX just recently came out with .. I paid about 9.95 for two threw a ebay seller I will provide the link  http://stores.ebay.com/JOYs-cosmetics They run about $6 a pop so you save 3 bucks !! Anyways here is the first one which is Tokyo
as you can tell its a little out there for my skin tone and it shows every crack and dried spot on ur lip.. Not my favorite by its self. but this would look great on fair skin.. I plan to use this with a pinker gloss on top! Here is a swatch of it next to both the Lady Gaga Lip Gloss and Lip stick ..
The Mac lippies are on the Left!
Next is my favorite one it is called Addis Ababa its a hot pink but is kinda sheer so you can to build it up! This is how it looks alone drys up matte..

Next I will add some gloss so you can see how it looks I am using a NYX lipgloss in Doll Pink
