KleanColor Walk of Fame Palette Review/Swatches

Hello Beauties!!!! So if you check out my youtube channel, you would know I did a mini haul on the Miss A website (www.shopmissa.com). This website sells everything for only $1! Yes $1! They have everything from jewelry to makeup and more! I purchased a few makeup items to test out their quality and see if they were a steal for $1. So here is one of the palettes I purchased. The Miss A website sells a lot from the brand KleanColor. I have never heard of this product and thought I would choose one of their palettes to try out. 

This is one of their Walk of Fame palettes in 04 Waikiki Chic. They also had 3 other palettes from this collection. Unfortunately, the other palettes were sold out at the time (this was not my first choice). It comes with 12 different eyeshadows, most with shimmery shean, and some had bits of glitter in them. 

When first opening this palette I was in awe of all the colors and was expecting to be amazed with the swatches. But as always looks can be deceiving. Some of the colors were very beautiful when swatched but others were a bit of a disappointment. I can't complain because for $1 what more can you honestly expect. 

This photo was taken with a flash so the shimmery metallic colors on the top of my arm look stunning but as we go down, the colors at the end of my arm lack color and have bits of glitter that come off on them and tend to flake off. This photo was taken without any eye shadow primer on my arm, this is just straight up eye shadow straight from the palette. Overall, it's not an awful palette for the cost. I personally wouldn't pay more then that for it since the color payoff isn't the greatest. But I'm addicted to this site and you should all head over there and check it out for yourselves. You won't regret it!!!

Deals of the Day....Dollar Tree Steals!!!!

Hey there my fellow beauties!!!! Once again I was out and about browsing at local stores, I should've just been window shopping, but honestly who can do that anymore?!? I had to pick up a few things at my local Dollar Tree and of course had to pass by the makeup aisle before I check out, lol!!! (Don't judge me, you would've too!) I was super impressed to see how much more of e.l.f.'s studio line they were carrying and more well known name makeup brands in general. Way to go Dollar Tree, keep it up!!!!! Who doesn't like finding makeup they love for $1.00?!? So, I just had to take advantage while I was there to grab a few goodies :)

Like I said I just picked a few things, believe me I would've got more if I didn't stop myself from doing so. Most of it was e.l.f. Cosmetics, of course, one of my FAVORITE brands of makeup! I couldn't help getting some studios brushes, you can never have enough brushes, lol!!!! 

I wasn't looking for a new foundation, but I actually stumbled upon this NYC All Day Long Foundation. I already own a NYC foundation that I absolutely love!!!! I figured I would pick up this one to give it a try  I mean it wouldn't hurt since it was just $1.00. I love that this one has a pump because the other foundation I have with this company doesn't. I tried looking up the original cost of this product, but it doesn't seem to be something that is sold in the U.S. I was only able to find the price in pounds (I think). I am looking forward on doing a first impression of this product and posting it here and on myYouTube Channel. So stay tuned!!!! 

Another item I decided to pick up, is an e.l.f. Brightening Eye Color Palette in the color 2018 Day 2 Night. This palette is sold for $1.00 on eyeslipsface.com so I didn't find it on sale or for a better deal but it does help that I didn't have to pay shipping to purchase it. They had a few other colors available but for some reason I liked this one a lot! 

These colors are definitely great options for creating a day to night look (the name suits it well). I find it to be a perfect neutral color palette. I'm especially fond of the taupe looking color and maroonish wine looking color too!

Last but not least, I had to take advantage of getting the studio brushes by e.l.f. Cosmetics!!!! These retail for $3.00/each and to find them for $1.00/each instead, you would have to be brain dead to not jump on that offer. I'm not going to lie, I was extremely surprised to see that they had studio line products at Dollar Tree in general!!! The basic line is common since the items are already $1.00 on e.l.f.'s website anyways. I wish they had more of the studio line available, I would've definitely bought the all at this price. Such a steal. I picked up the angled contour brush and the flat eyeliner brush. No make up lover could ever have enough makeup brushes :) 

Now that I was able to find all these great items at such a steal, I'm going to continue to keep my eyes open whenever I enter a Dollar Tree from now on. Who knows what great makeup products you can find. Makes me want to visit more local Dollar Trees just to see what they have to offer as well. Not every one has the same items so you never know. Hope you guys have the same luck I had in finding such amazing products at such steals (especially e.l.f.'s Stufio Line). So keep your eyes open ladies and good luck! 

Wet n Wild Beauty Army Tough Girl Craze Review

Hello my fellow makeup and sale lovers of the world!!!! So lately, I have been on a Wet n Wild binge and hunting down their new limited edition collections. First was the Pop Art Craze and now I came across their Beauty Army Tough Girl Craze Collection. This collection has both eye shadow trios and nail polishes, but I only got two of the eye shadow trios. 

Once again, I decided to purchase colors that I know I would use or that I didn't already have in my makeup collection. I got lucky to find these beauties when they were on sale at my local Walgreens. I ended up picking them up for $2/each....SCORE!!!!!

Spoiled Army Brat was definitely a mission to locate. I literally had to go to 3 different Walgreens before I located it. I definitely wanted to take advantage of the sale before it was over. I wasn't going to give up and I'm glad that I didn't. 

This is a pretty pink palette. Pink is my favorite color so I just had to have this in my makeup collection. The eyelid colors is a nice light pink which does come off a bit chalky but is very pigmented. The crease color (my favorite of the palette) is like a light cranberry pinkish red color. Last but not least, the browbone color is a pinky mauve color, and took a few swipes before it was able to be seen on my skin. 

The eyelid and crease colors are both matte and the browbone color does have a bit of a sheen to it. Beautiful in general. Love this palette!

The other palette I picked up and just had to have, was Soldiers in Charms. The greens are what caught my attention. This palette definitely fit into the theme of this collection...automatically thought Army Fatigues when I saw it. Also, these color are PERFECT fall colors and I feel like these colors are going to be the "IT" color for fall. 

The eyelid color is a greenish gray color which I have never seen before and DO NOT have in any of my eyeshadow palettes already. The crease color, which is sooooo beautiful, is a very dark deep green with gold shimmer in it. The browbone color, is a very bright sort of lime green color and came across a bit chalky as well. 

The eyelid color is matte. The crease color has shimmer/glitter. The browbone color has a bit of a sheen to it. 

A definite MUST HAVE in your makeup collection. There were a total of 6 eye shadow trios from this collection. All the colors and finishes of these trios looked gorgeous but I didn't get them all since I didn't see myself using them or I had similar colors already in my collection. In general, Wet n Wild's is already so affordable for a great quality of makeup. These trios originally run $2.99/each which is as if you were paying $1 for each eye shadow, not bad at all!!! On top of that, they're beautiful pigmented colors and you won't be disappointed. 

I'm hoping to be able to get some of the nail polishes from this line and hope to share them with you when and if I do get them. Those are $3.99 or $2.99/each, I don't remember...sorry. Waiting to see if they eventually go on sale so I can pick them up. 

I have only seen this particular collection in Walgreens and some at Kmart as well. So, what are you waiting for?!??? Go get these babies!!!!!!!

COLORS COLORS COLORS!!!! Wet n Wild's Pop Art Craze Eyeshadow Trios (Limited Edition)

HELLO LOVELY LADIES!!!!! I know it has been a long time since I posted anything on my blog....I am so sorry, but life has been crazy for me the last few months. I am somewhat back on track and have finally found some time to sit down and post about this limited edition collection by Wet n Wild. I know I am probably really late with this post and many people have already spoken about this collection but either way I wanted to let you guys know how I felt about it.

The Pop Art Craze Limited Edition Collection!!!! Let me first start off by saying, WOW!!!! The display, in general, caught my eye within an instant. I did hear about it in advance through social sites and those that are beauty ambassadors with Wet n Wild, so I was already super excited for this line to come into stores :) I believe they started making their debut in the beginning of July 2013. I found this display at my local Walgreens (they were $2.99/each, I believe).

As is shown, there were both eye shadow trios and nail polishes that were part of this limited edition collection. I did not pick up all the eye shadow trios since some of the colors would be colors I would probably never use. But I did pick up the two that I believed I would get the most use of. I did also pick up a majority of the nail polishes (since they were on sale for $.69 at the time), but I will not be posting them in this particular blog (look for one in the future).

One of the eye shadow trios I purchased was in #34166 Hard Being the It Girl.

I loved every color that was in this trio. One thing I absolutely loved is that all the colors are Matte. I probably won't use the brow bone color for my brow bone but I can see myself using it as the eyelid color. I can see myself using the eyelid color as a brow bone color as well. Both the eyelid color and brow bone color are pretty much neutrals that you can pull off with any look. My favorite color from this trio is the crease color. It is super pigmented and the blue is such a beautiful bright color to accent this look.

The cream and pink colors did appear a bit chalky which was a bit disappointing but I am sure I can still make it work somehow. If you are someone that is not afraid of color or is willing to try a bit of color this trio would definitely work for you. It still has some basic soft colors but the blue surely does add a pop to your look, to make it a bit daring and different.

The other trio I picked up was in #34169 To Muse and Carouse. I think this trio was the perfect colors for summer. Since it did come out in July, this was a great combo for that time of the month. As the other trio I purchased, all the colors in this trio are also all Matte. The eyelid and crease colors were both super pigmented, as for the brow bone color, I did have to get a few swipes before I could get any color to appear on my skin. 

These colors weren't as chalky as Hard Being the It Girl. I love the combo and feel like these colors would make a gorgeous eye look, as I said for the summer time. I still feel if you don't use as much of the aqua eyelid color, I am sure it could still work during the fall season as well. This trio can suit any makeup lover out there, the colors aren't too bold, where it would make anyone think twice before purchasing it. The feel of the eye shadows are very silky smooth.

The other trios in this collection were a bit more colorful and bright. I didn't purchase them since I didn't see myself using them. Since, I did purchase this with my own money, I didn't want to spend it on something that wouldn't ever be used. They were all beautiful colors and some were pretty daring colors. 

I don't know if these are still available in stores but if you are lucky to come across them, ACT FAST!!!! I got lucky to find them when I did and made sure to purchase the ones I wanted. If you wait, they will be gone, believe me! I am sure you can also check online and find somewhere or someone that is still selling them. Wet n Wild is so affordable and all the trios that I have tried I have LOVED!!!! The colors are super pigmented and so beautiful on the eyes.

I did also purchase 2 of the eye shadow trios from the new Beauty Army Tough Girl Craze, so keep an eye out for that blog NEXT!!!!

December 2012 Favorites!!!!!!

Hey, Hey, Hey!!!!!!

So as I told you guys in my last post, I was thinking of doing a new topic on my blog letting you guys know my favorites for each month. I decided to start this for the month of December. It was pretty difficult to narrow down my favorites, and of course I didn't want to make this post miles of pages long....so here we go!

I will start off with something that is not beauty related, since the holidays have passed and this is my December Favs, this had to be on my list of course. I am a big fan of candles, but even more of a fan when they are holiday scents :)

Bath and Body Works Scented Candles are AMAZING!!!!! I think fall and winter are my all time fav scents from BBW. Specifically, the winter scents had to be a part of my December Favs...especially Toffee Crunch, Frosted Gingerbread, and Marshmallow Fireside :) Yummy!!!!! 

The next few things on my list have to do with beauty (are you really surprised?!?!?).

I will start off with one of the items that I received in my Birchbox for the month of December.

I am the biggest fan of theBalm Cosmetics and I wished that they were available in stores but until then online is the way to go! Thanks to Birchbox I would have never known about this product. I love the Hot Mama! shadow/blush compact. Of course all I got was a sample but it definitely drew me in to want to buy the full size one. I love that you can use this for different things and the color is beautiful, its not too much but just enough. It is a pinkish/peachy color and looks amazing on my skin color.

Another one of my favs this month is the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters. I am obsessed with these things, I currently own 7 of them. But for the month of December I used the color Pink Truffle more than any other one I have.

Revlon's Lip Butters are amazing in general! They're a lipstick and balm/gloss in one :) This color is a great natural color yet is has that perfect shimmer in it. I was lucky enough to discover these when they were 75% off at CVS, so I believe they were just under $2 each. Such a great deal, so you know I had to stock up with whatever I could get my hands on. This is definitely a must try/have!!!

Last but not least, my final fav of the month of December is the Simple Eye Makeup Remover.

I have tried so many eye makeup removers and they have all been soooo oily! This is the first one I tried that was so light and can remove even waterproof mascara with no problem. Its great for those with sensitive skin and contact lens users (which that is me of course!).

1 ADDED VITAMIN 
   PRO-VITAMIN B5 known to help restore, soften and smooth 
NO OIL 
NO GREASY residue 
NO DYES 
NO ARTIFICIAL PERFUMES
NO HARSH IRRITANTS to upset skin 

I hope you enjoyed hearing what my December Favorites were :) and hopefully is also interested you in trying or getting some of these items to try for yourself. 

Until next month guys!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXO <3 <3 <3
