Jemma Kidd Liquid Eyeliners

Heeyy Ya'll!!!
 
 Jemma Kidd liquid liners are really nice. I have two and each were priced at $16.99 each, not including state taxes. I purchased mines at target but you can probably find them at other stores where her brand is or online. I am going to list the pro and the cons really quickly of the formula not the colors.
Pros:
- VERY long wearing stays on for hours even when lids get a little greasy
-Creamy formula
- No smell what so ever
-Very nice amount in bottle will last you for a very long time

Cons:
-I hate the brush it gets really messy and doesn't give me precise application
- Without eye makeup remover this stuff does not come off easyly
- When you get this on your eye lashes you're kinda doomed lol
- VERY sticky


Now with the colors I feel the purple just lacks something. It is not as pigmented as I was hoping it would be, it looks as though it would be pretty bright. I will say the formula is for some reason a little more smoother and easy to apply. The Teal on the other hand is beautiful I am in love with it and alone gives drama to a simple cat liner. It shines so pretty when the light hits it and brings out your eyes. It is a little more clumpy and a little more sticky but once applied and has dried soo worth the fight!!..

If I could change something I definitely would ask Jemma Kidd to make it WAY less sticky and way more pigment on certain colors. Other wise I do recommend the Teal color. Enjoy below pictures Thanks for stopping by!! Subscribe to my blog if you haven't !!!

Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara

 Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
   I Brought this mascara a couple of weeks ago and just started using it a couple of days behind. I am totally digging this masacar. I don't like waterproof so I was more then pleased to see this was not waterproof.
  The cool thing about this mascara is that it has two different settings. Setting one is for length and drama, this is my favorite so far. I will say although it is my favorite it tends to get really clumpy . It gives me a fuller look but does get clumpy and if not applyed right, you can get that spider lash effect. Setting number two is for length and definiton . I like this side as well but not as much as setting number one. This setting does not really clump up on you, which is good. I studied the wand and when you switch the settings a new set of brushes pop in and out. That is what gives you the different effect because the formula stays the same. Below are some pictures please enjoy...

Coastal.com First Impression

I will be jumping straight into things and listing a few likes and dislikes about coastal.com 
Also you can get your First pair of glasses free just use the code FIRSTPAIRFREE at checkout.
Coastal.com is also having a 30-50% off sale !!!

Likes:

- I love how they have a wide selection of frames. Not only do they have inexpensive ones they also have some nicely priced glasses. I've seen some go up to $200 and some at $30 dollars. Something for everyone's price budget.

- I like how the brand eye frames such as Fendi, Prada, Ray-ban, Gucci, and others are not as expensive as you would find in stores. I brought a pair of Gucci frames for $300 at a place in my neighborhood. The website has Prada for less then $200 including your prescription!

- My glasses were made in hours ( On your account online you can check the progress of your glasses) Order was put in at 6pm and by 10pm my glasses passed an inspection !!! The following day they shipped!!!!

- Shipping was SUPER FAST!!! I got my package before expected delivery date. 

- Website was beyond organized, easy to follow and clean.

- Customer service is amazing. 

-items was nicely packaged (see below pictures)

Over all I enjoyed my experience and have already been referring them to friends and family member's !!

Here are a few things I didn't like:

- The option to upload a picture and virtually try them on kept crashing on me until I gave up and just went with the model pictures.

- I would rather see the glasses on a mannequin  head because I feel the pictures of the glasses on the model's pictures are not accurate . 

- Frames sell out quickly 

- Some frames are a limited supply only so you have to act quick. 

That is pretty much how I feel. Stay tuned to my Youtube channel The Final review will be up in a week or two.  Below are some pictures with details and links to the glasses.. Thank you for stopping by!!

 These particular frames I believe are sold out . Some of the luxury frames on the sight tend to sell out quickly, you must be quick. If you like something on the site I suggest buying it before it goes.

 These are my favorite pair , I love these I will be showing how they look on me in my video review !

 The Ray-bans were available the last time I checked which was today in the morning, sadly they have sold out. BUT if you like the style and would still like them they do have them in a different color which so act fast!!! http://www.coastal.com/glasses/frames/ray-ban-5248-2012-dark-havana/prod21757.html?rsView=1&ga=F|M|K

 You also get a free kit with each pair of glasses you buy!!.. I got two of these one for each. It comes with a tiny screw driver to fix any loose screws, solution to keep your lenses clear and the rag to clean the lenses.

Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed !!!! Any and all questions are welcomed!!!

Loreal Paris Collagen Moisture Filler Week 1

Before I get into anything if you have no idea what collagen is or what it does here is some amazing information to help you understand .
http://www.wellbeing-information.com/benefits-of-collagen.html

I was kind of worried that by using this product my skin would actually start to age. I only picked this up because honestly it was cheap and the jar held a lot of product lol!! I know right, I was actually looking for an oil free moisturizer and still am (leave suggestions below). I didn't think twice about the collagen. The first night I noticed my skin was soo moisturized and soft.. By the third night time note that my face was soft but firm places were my skin was a thinned out like under my eyes have started to firm up.. My skin was not saggy but it firmed up my skin really nice. I only use this product at night and sometimes in te day if I have nowhere to go and are not putting on makeup. Since it is not oil free I wouldn't suggest oily skinned people like myself I use it under foundation you will get greasy .. It states it doesn't give you a greasy feel but it kind of does so be careful when using it under foundation. Other wide I really love this product and recommend it for woman.. Any questions please ask away thanks for reading!!!

St.Ives apricot scrub blemish & blackhead control

This product is oil-free (thank the heavens) salicylic acid (2%)acne medication with 100% natural exfoliants. Not tested on animals and is dermatologist tested. This a acne treatment, but I feel people who do not have that problem would benefit from this product as well.


Claims:
To exfoliate and prevent blemishes and clean pores. Also, that it does not over dry your skin while fighting blemishes.

My thoughts/experience:
I LOVE this scrub and in fact have always gone back to it. My skin after using this is beyond supple, radiant, and acne free. I use a dime size almost everyday and it does exactly what it says it will do and more. I've noticed I am not as red as I was before. I hardly have to worry about acne and my makeup looks great on because My skin is so soft. It indeed does not make your skin dry actually feels as if it moisturizes my skin. After I use it my face feels great because of the natural exfoliants in it. If some of you may or may not know , exfoliating your skin is very important. Some people choose to do this everyday and some every other day. This promotes and help you have healthy glowing skin. When you exfoliant your simulating blood cells which will help them move more smoothly, and that gives you that healthy skin. The acne medication in this product works wonders the only time I breakout is when I am on my cycle. I highly suggest everyone to try this out and with the low price you cannot beat it. St.Ives also has a bunch of other great products to choose from as well..

I brought mines at Rite Aid for about $4.29 and had to share how much I love this product. If you have any questions please feel free to ask down below in the comments section.
Thank you for taking the time out to read this post and have a wonderful day!!

Viva Glam Nicki Dupe Alert

Here she is in all her glory.. I love this lipstick and not for the name but for the color. I thought it was quite unique and it wasn't something I could dupe with just the online swatches so I fell and got it. So amazing after getting it and trying it on I knew right away what drug store lipstick it reminded me of. So here we go, first  picture is the Nicki lipstick.. MAC prices her at $14.50

So here we have the dupe aside the MAC lipstick. The dupe is Cover Girl lip perfection in 400 Temptress ($7.49 I paid).. The ONLY differences would be one consistency of formulas , MAC is a little more thicker and build-able. Whereas The Cover Girl is a little more watery and if you try to build it up looks cakey too much.  Difference number two is that Cover Girl has sparkles in it they are not too noticeable until you get up close and personal. That is pretty much it as far as Differences but if you do not wish to donate your money to AIDS Awareness which is what MAC does with the money spent on this particular lipstick you can always just go into Rite aid or your local drugstore and pick up its dupe. Its quite spot on but I prefer the Nicki and will be buying a couple more. Its such a beautiful color Fits all skin tones. In the picture to your left is a bunch of other lipsticks I tried to match it with. The three lined up starting form the left is pink nouveau(MAC) The middle one is Impassioned(MAC) and the last one is Temptress( cover girl.) The top one by its lonesome is Viva Glam Nicki.(MAC) 

So here I decided to add a few other dupes. Now I have fallen in love with this winters trend , Dark Plum lips. My favorite for that was Revlon's Lipstick in 663 Va Va Voliet until I purchased MAC's Satin Lipstick In Cyber. OMG!! What a beautiful color that is so thick and rich and I love it.. LOL I compared the too and Revlon's Lipstick is has a bit more purplish reddish to it and Cyber is a little more purple black but with the right lip-liner they both would look the same.  Revlon Is the cheaper version for you ladies on a budget but I enjoy both. The swatches below show the color difference in them The top one is Revlon In 663 va va voliet and the bottom is MAC's Cyber . 

My third and final dupe for today is another of my MAC favorites shown in the middle and it is Neon Orange. I found two dupes for them one being a drug store product and another being high end as well. The Drugstore lipstick is actually the first one lined up and it is Milanis 42 Mandrina. Very thick and rich in color but not as thick as the MAC. Then Lastly is the OCC (obsessive compulsive cosmetics) lip tar in the color Beta .. I love lip tars but I highly recommend wearing a base. none the less as you can see they're all basically the same color. 


I hope everyone enjoyed this blog post and let me know some of your favorite dupes.I would love to hear them!!! :) Take care and until next time. Please feel free to share this blog with fellow makeup lovers !!!
