Lemon Harvest Palette

Lemon Harvest Swatch

This is an aewsome palette for the fall. I'm a big fan of this yellow and the green. You can make beautiful looks with this palette. Silky, and vibrant in color. Some fallout will be expected, but if used lightly you won't have any. When doing a swatch of this palette I used a base in the smae shade and the color popped more than without a base. There's a bit of shimmer to the shadows which gives a great sparkle to your eyes & look.

Sand Dune

I was so happy to see these cute 3 pan palettes at my local dollar tree and with so many to choose from had to start myself off with a few and see if they measured up. After looking at them, I found that they are pigmented and has fun shades for fall. These are well worth the $2 that I paid for these cuties. You can check them out at your local beauty supply store, dollare tree.

KOK Cosmetics Baby Bear, Blue Monster & Princess Lily

I was very happy y to see that my girl Antoinette started her own line and I was happy to have a chance  to play in a few shadows. As you can see from the pic above that they are pigmented with sparkles which gives off a very pretty shimmer effect. I have 3 of her cutest colors in my book.  She has a nice assortments of colors to choose from, as well as palettes.

Sawtch of Princess Lily, Brown Bear & Blue Monster

To get a better feel of the colors I did a swatch test to see the pigmentation of the colors...and found that with a white base used the colors popped more vibrantly if wore alone. I had a blast playing with these pigments cause they are really great. Easy to blend, lasts for long period of time, no creasing if used with a primer or base. She really has out done herself with a wonderful line that looks to be on the rise.

JEM Palette

 This is a treat, cause I asked her to create a custom palette for me, and this is it!!! This palette is called...JEM! It's from the 80s cartoon. I'm a big fan and having a palette that's called Jem was a dream of mines and I now have it. The colors are really pretty & sparkly. I can't wait to play in this palette. She a great a soul, and I can't wait to see what more she's going to offer from this line. If you want to tryout KOK Cosmetics you can find her on facebook.

Profusion 24 Color Eyeshadow Palette

What more can one say about Profusion, again they come with a great jewel tone palette that's out this world (at least to me). With this 24 color palette you get some really cool, bold, bright and pigmented with such intense color and sparkle and shimmer I was really amazed at this palette. Unlike  their Ultimate Blockbuster 120 Extreme Sheer Eye Color Palette, which has sheer shadows and a few pigmented ones. This palette also has some sheeress to them all. You get a great color payoff. I use a base with these shadows and the color got more intense than without a base used. That's great when it comes to and eye shadow.

Profusion 24 Eyeshadow Swatch

I did a swatch of all 24 colors and they are awesome!!! I used NYX JESPs as bases for these shades and as you can see, they are truly a vision in all their vibrancy  glory!

I saw a few more of these palettes at my local beauty supply store and I will be purchasing more. This palette was a gift I won in a contest, and I must say, since I own a few palettes this makes a nice addition to my collection. It has a small mirror and applicator. If you like Profusion try out there palettes and see the beauty in these treasures of eye shadows. You can got to their website and have alook around and see all the different palettes and kits they have that are reasonable for any makeup lover. Or you can head to your nearest Walgreens and pick you up a palette or kit. Holidays coming,  makes a wonderful gift.

Absolute! Palettes Review

I found these cute inexpensive treasures in my local beauty supply store for $1.99 each, that's a great price for such a great palette. These palettes are perfect for any makeup collection while giving you excellent staying power. You can see from the colors that they are pigmented and comes in array of fun, bold shades. Let's take a closer look at both palettes.

 Paradise Palette is a nice summer kind of palette-  it has fun spring/summer colors that you can wear anytime. Pressed shadows that are great in pigment and has a smooth texture to me. You have 12 fabulous shades to choose from and you won't be disappointed.

Electro Palette is more of a neutral kind of palette with great fall colors. I like to add a bit of color to my fall looks, so this would be that palette to deliver the WOW! factor.

These are the swatches for  Paradise (left)  and  Electro (right)...both were used  with a base and no primer. As you can see they are bight and bold in shades, I use Nyx's jesp and WnW's Idol Eyes cream shadows as bases for these palettes, and I love what I see so far. 

I would highly recommend these to anyone whose looking for some fun palettes that's not heavy on the pockets as well. You'll really love these palettes and they have more styles & colors to choose from; which are fairly reasonable in price. For a great and cheap price, they are well worth the buy. So, run out to your local beauty supply store and pick yourself up a few. Great inexpensive holiday gift for the makeup enthusiast in your life.

Halloween Lashes Sale!!!



My daughter's coach picked these lashes up for me while out shopping at Walmart. These beauties are only $0.79 each.

I mean a great deal on lashes don't last long. I can't wait to try these out with a great look. I have (3) fantasy looks so I'll have to be very creative with my looks lol!

BSC: Floozy Bitch

I'm a fan of BitchSlap Cosmetics, for all their fun, bold, bright and in your face shades. This is my favorite palette for the soft fun colors that it has. The name is a trip I know but the colors are sick!

OMG! I'm so in love with maybelline's FitMe Foundation, for so many reason- cause of all the benefits that you get from it. natural look without weighing my skin down. Breathable, blends seamlessly and matches my skin tone. My # is 355, what's yours?

                                                             Mac Prep & Primer

This was my second MAC purchase in my life (lol), and I wasn't disappointed either! I love the way it makes my skin feels. If you have tried this product then you know it's an amazing product that gives a flawless appearence and makes your makeup looks photo ready!

                                                  Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer

This is becoming a really big favorite of mines as well. I can't believe how sheer & smooth my skin looks and feels with this primer. My makeup looks fresh & clean. It's not heavy on my skin and dosen't clog up my pores. The fact there are two other primer from Hard Candy, I'm sure I'll love those as well.

                                             LA. Colors Color Craze Nail Polishs
If your an LA Colors fan of the eyeshadows, I know you should love these jewel jems. I am so big on LA Colors, that I started collecting them. I have a few of them, and I love their bold shades. They dry pretty quickly and the color does last. Will chip after a few days. But I love them.

These are all my August favorites and I wanted to share my beauty products with you. Cant wait to see what September's favorites will be. Thank you for allowing me to share my beauty products with you. Have a bless day.

HARD CANDY PRIMER

WOW! I found myself out of my favorite primer MAC's Prep & Prime, so I decided to look around for a really good facial primer. Went to Wal-mart and headed to the makeup section and I checked around...mind you I'm on a budget and I had a limit to what I wanted to spend, so I checked out HARD CANDY, I heard that they had wonderful eyeshadows and foundations. Never have I ever tried Hard Candy, so of course it's new to and for me. Child, I picked it up and another customer said "your going to fall in love with that  primer."  The price for it was $8.00 and with a coupon I got $3.00 off which it was marked down, I paid $5.00 for this 1.6oz tube and I was dancing a jig I tell you. It was a STEAL!!!

Needless to say once I tried it, child I was amazed at how smooth and flawless my skin & makeup looked. It gives you a very nice sheer coverage and you don't need awhole lot to get the results you want. Not only can you use it on your face, also your eyes which makes them smooth and helps the shadow last much longer!

Sheer Envy Primer helps to even out the skin while reducing shine. Improves foundation application while minimizing skin imperfections. Make-up lasts longer and skin is left velvety smooth. Checkout the out their two Hard Candy Primers and what they do for your skin & makeup.

BitchSlap Drunk Bitch Palette

BS Boozy Bitch

I'm into trying new cosmetics company and I love eyeshadows so it's only natural that I wanted to try Bitch Slap Cosmetics after hearing so much about it- the good and the bad. Thinking to myself all cosmetics companies has it's good and bad press the main focus is how's the product. After watching countless YT videos on BS my senses heightens to new high lol! Saying to myself " You must try this product, look at the colors and how vibrant they are. Went on the site and the pretty palettes, jewelry and everything else I had to place that order. Needless to say I chose a cute 24 Karat Palette called Boozy Bitch.

Needless to say I chose a cute 24 Karat Palette called Boozy Bitch.The name alone was enough for me. I really love the cute pastel colors that this palette has. There's 5 different shades which is really great for spring / summer. Has a mirror on the inside lid, and two eye applicators.

There are a few things I don't like about this palette, first the shadows are powdery in feel and has fall out. As far as the pigmentation it's not as bright and vibrant as the pin wheels, these shadows has shimmer specks, without a primer or base you won't get a bright look more on the subtle side. Far as blending they are bendable, you have to build up to the look your trying to achieve. For $25 I wish it delivered more of what I was looking for. Best part, the shades are fun and great for a fun playful look.

 70s Glam. 1970s Style with mini dress, hot pants and also maxi and platform soled shoes.It's all about the flares this spring.There are two main aesthetics: '70s bohemian, and '70s sophisticated glamour.  The 70s is  due for a reinterpretation. While '70s fashion is making a comeback, which is sure to continue on as a fashion trend, let's not forget there's a few variants. And you know what that means;  more ways to get tons of wear from  your key seventies pieces, by taking them from '70s boho to a more sophisticated '70s look.

                                                                          Debbie Harry

Punk Fashion.  Another trend for spring / summer 2011, punk carries  from last year to become less of a full blown trend and more one of influence - see its elements impact upon a number of other spring 2011 trends. Which can be a danger: punk fashion is one trend you can't afford to get wrong.  Punk Fashions for spring / summer 2011 entails what elements you should wear, and the looks you should avoid.
