My 2 Fav Polishes Right Now

China glaze Turned Up Turquoise is a very awesome colour it goes on so matte and is just so cool!!!
But because it acts like a neon when u put it on and it drys it doesn't shine its very flat so you do have to use some sort of top coat or buffer.
Other then that its a great colour
Also theres a lot of colours similar to it like china glaze four leaf clover, l.a colours automatic and Ardene's matte of blue

I would defiantly re buy this colour

Price wise its very good i got it at ulta for 6$!

China Glaze Ruby Pumps Luvs It!!!

THE POLISH:
This color is gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! A red based polish with red glitter. For starters, I am not much of a glitter wearing lady, (I prefer cremes), but this polish is one of my top 10 favorite polishes. I always get compliments when I wear this shade. Photos never do this shade any justice, it's so much prettier in person. I'm medium skin tone, so some reds could make me look orange, which I hate. But this red shade doesn't do that.
REMOVAL:Since it is a glitter shade, the best way to remove this is by using 100 percent acetone. I hate using 100 percent acetone as it dries the skin. After I remove the polish I immediately apply a cuticle cream and hand cream as well. It's probably why I don't wear glitter shades as often. Since I don't, I don't mind the removal process.
THE FORMULA:I LOVE China Glaze's formula. Three coats of this gorgeous color over Seche Ridge Filling bast coat and topped off with Seche Vite. All together last about a week before it begins to chip. It never gets thick in the bottle after so many uses. It has nail hardening properties. I love the brush. I will definitely be purchasing this again!

 

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara Review

The new CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion mascara finally made its way to my door!


The mascara comes in a bright violet tube just like the original LashBlast mascara. The brush is also on the bigger side with lots of bristles. While it works nicely on my upper lashes, applying it on my lower lashes or smaller areas can be tricky.



As for the results, the mascara does give my lashes a nice lift and provides decent volume but does not seem to lengthen as well as the LashBlast Length (could be the brush?)

Just like other mascaras from the LashBlast family, the LashBlast Fusion wears well without smearing or flaking but comes off easily with a makeup remover. It also does not leave my lashes dry and brittle.

Below is me wearing the LashBlast Fusion on my left eye (right side in the picture). I like my lashes really dark and dramatic and the color I have, Black Brown, gives a more natural effect.



Overall, I am not particularly impressed with the mascara. I don’t find it that much different from the original LashBlast. I will stick to my favorite LashBlast Length topped with a volumizing mascara

Coastel Scents 32 Lip Palette

$18.95

http://www.coastalscents.com/

Coastal Scents has grown a cult following with their selection of inexpensive yet highly pigmented makeup palettes. The 32 Lip Color Palette from Coastal Scents has an assortment of lipstick shades in nudes, corals, pinks, and reds. There are 22 cream, 8 frosty, and 2 shimmery lip colors in this palette. After several uses I have found these to be nicely pigmented, true to color and long lasting. The palette is sleek and perfect for traveling. The colors can easily be mixed to create an endless variety of custom shades.

I did find just a few downsides to this kit. First, the formula is drying and I have to use lip balm or gloss with it. Second, there are no cool-tone colors in this in the palette. Those two things aside, I think this is a great palette suitable for personal or professional use. I would definitely buy this product again if needed. Below are swatches of all 32 colors! This is NOT a paid review.

NYX White Eyeshadow Base

wwwNYXcosmetics.com
$6.00

Many of the makeup gurus on YouTube demonstrate using a white base to make eyeshadow more vibrant and true to color. And many of them use NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk but must apply an eyeshadow primer under that to prevent creasing. Well, now NYX has a white eyeshadow base that makes eyeshadows appear brighter and more vibrant while helping it to last longer, and prevent creasing...without the extra layer of eyeshadow primer underneath!

I didn't think to look at the ingredients before purchasing this product. When it arrived, I looked at the ingredient list to find that the 3rd ingredient is mineral oil. That put me off a bit because mineral oil can cause creasing and usually causes a product to melt or fade more quickly. Well, I used this 3 days in a row with different brightly colored eyeshadows and I was surprised to find that it works quite well.

The texture is very creamy and blends out to a velvety matte white. The eyeshadows showed up bright and vibrant and lasted 8+ hours without creasing. NYX also has a skintone and a pearl version of this same product, both of which I intend to purchase at some point! (The winner of my NYX giveaway will be receiving this product in skin tone!) This is a great alternative to Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance if you are looking for something a little easier on the budget. The white is great for brightly colored eyeshadows. If you never wear brightly colored shadows, I would recommend the skin tone or pearl shades. For just $6.00, this is something I would definitely purchase again. In the swatches below you can see the difference the white base makes in the vibrancy of this blue eyeshadow. This is NOT a sponsored review.

The China Glaze Poolside Collection ( I Now its kind of early but i forgot to do the review last summer)

Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, Sun Worshipper;
Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Kiwi Cool-Ada, Towel Boy Toy

China Glaze Poolside Collection: Review, Photos, Swatches

Poolside is a summer collection that includes six shades of neon lacquer. As with most neons, application isn’t the easiest, but China Glaze has certainly improved the formula from the last round of neons they did. Similarly, the finish is mostly matte, but I used a glossy top coat to give it the glossy look (but if you prefer something more matte, then just opt to go without a top coat).
Both a benefit and a potential issue, these polishes dry faster (like matte polishes do), so keep that in mind. All of the shades had a runnier consistency than I’m used to from China Glaze, so I went with a thinner first coat to lay down a “base” in a sense, before layering on two more coats (about medium in thickness — it’s easy to over-apply).

China Glaze recommends, “Like most neon polishes, the first layer will look extremely opaque and thin. You will need to build up to desired coverage and always remember to let each layer dry completely before applying the next. This will help prevent streaks and missing patches of color on the nail bed.”

• Pool Party is a brightened hot pink. This applied in three coats for an opaque, smooth look.
• Flip Flop Fantasy is a neon coral — I’d say it’s a little more coral-pink than the pictures show, but it’s about that dark. Three coats on this one was good enough to give me a solid and smooth look.
• Sun Worshipper is an orange-y yellow — aptly named — that just glows. This is my favorite shade from the six, because it’s something different and really vibrant. Three coats for smooth, opaque coverage.
• Yellow Polka Dot Bikini is neon, highlighter yellow. I had the most trouble applying this one, and I think if you take your time and build up to about four coats, you’ll get decent results. It’s ultra bright, though! This kind of cool greenish-edge of highlighter yellow is not so flattering on my skin tone, unfortunately!
• Kiwi Cool-Ada is a brightened neon green. It’s brighter than grass, that’s for sure! Like Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, application was a little fussier than the other shades. I think a slower, more precise application might be key, as well as layering two thinner coats as the first two, then building up to four.
• Towel Boy Toy is a brightened sky blue with soft blue pearl. This is the only shade that has any shimmer in it, but this was the shade that applied the easiest (in fact, it was easy!). Pictured is just two coats, but a third wouldn’t hurt.  This was my second favorite, but I’d say some of that comes from how easy it was to apply.
