E.L.F Beauty eye Manual, ** Bright Eye Edition** REVIEW

The post of today is a review of the E.L.F Beauty eye Manual, ** Bright Eye Edition**, which was requested by a few of my followers on my FB page.
Let's start by talking about the packaging; It comes in a book like presentation, easy to carry along with you, perfect to take with you on a little trip/vacay.

As you open it, you will find a few sheets (if we could call them that) with "How to" tips For day and night looks, which i think its pretty cool! Specially for us the newbies! :)

and also it brings four (4)  Eye charts, so you can Practice or keep track of a look you might have created and you just dont want to forget how you did it!, has happened to me soo many times! lool

It Brings twelve (12) good size eye shadows, that go from Nude tones to more colorful ones, most of then with some sort of shimmer in them, actually i am gonna go ahead and describe them one by one (from left to right):
The 1st color is a Shimmery white with silver under tone to it.
The 2nd color is a very light Shimmery brown (which i found awfully similar to the fourth and fifth color)
The 3th color is a Pale Rose.
The 4th color---> look back color number two.
The 5th color---> ^ Ditto.
The 6th color is one of my Favorites, its just a Olive Green with a golden  under tone to it.
The 7th color is a turquoise Blue.
The 8th color is a dark brown.
The 9th color is very light grey.
The 10th color is a Purple.
The 11th color is a Red which i like very much.
And last but not least the 12th color which is a Black with silver Shimmer to it. :)

The kit also brings a good size mirror,a mini Eye liner and an applicator for the Eye shadows.

I was so excited to get this palette on the mail, Specially since i totally love E.L.F but it truly disappointed me when i first tried it ;
The pigmentation is just not there (only a few of then have a barely decent pigmentation) .
Some of the colors seem kinda chalky, and clumpy, the first three colors have so little pigmentation that all you can see is glitter , although the fourth and fifth are very beautiful shades.
The green, blue, purple  gray and red are pretty decent, those are pretty bright, but the black is horrible, i would describe it more as a gray.

But oh well for $5 bucks there is not much to be expected.
Here are the swatches:

Colors are also a little clumpy. :(

They seen to crease very easily, even with the use of a primer.
I dont think i would be using this product anymore since it made my eyes turn red and water a lot (but i think this happened because i used the black shade on my lid and the glitters on this shadow are super big, so i think that it might have fallen on my eyes and caused the irritation) , therefor  of course i would not recommend this to a friend.
I do like the eyeliner thought. :)

I hope you guys found this review helpful, also dont forget to Subscribe and comment. :)
But before i go, here is a lil look i created with this palette. :)

Bye for Now.

Shades That Complement Every Skin Tone!

Today's post is gonna be about tones that would enhance our natural beauty depending on our skin color. Since i know how  sometimes we can find ourselves scared of trying new things, thinking it would look ridiculous on us; this happens to me a lot and the only way of really knowing what works and what doesnt its to try it out!  And i also know how hard it could be sometimes to find that perfect shade of blush, or lipstick, or liner, etc
So let's go ahead and  get started right away!!

1) PEACHy BLUSH

Unlike pink cheek colors, which can easily veer into Barbie or frosty territory, "a peach blush with a little shimmer marries perfectly with every skin tone,"  And a very awesome trick on how to wear a peachy blush properly is: In women with fair skin it should be worn  right on the apples of their cheeks, while those with darker skin should move the placement up to the cheekbones "so it's more of a highlighter," 

2) NAVY EYELINER

This is the secret to making eyes look awake, no matter what your skin tone is. "The deep blue will emphasize the whites of your eyes so they're instantly brighter,"  and i personally would  recommends a pencil or a cream liner as instead of a liquid: Since this one doesn't always read as a true navy.

3) GOLD EYE SHADOW

This is the perfect metallic shade for everyone. Always pick a shimmery one Since a matte gold would appear chalky on those with darker skin.

4) TRUE RED LIPSTICK 

Who says we cant all rock that glamorous old-Hollywood look, just keep in mind that you should go with a true red shade.(think primary Crayola red)

5) BRONZER

We can all get some benefit from the warmth of a little bronzer; especially now that's  winter time . Bronzers with a little bit touch of shimmer,  i'd say will work on everyone. But of course women with different skin tones should wear it in different ways. On black women, bronzer is more like a highlighter, that said they should apply it on the tops of the cheekbones. On fair and medium skin, women should lightly put it everywhere the sun naturally would  hit: temples, cheeks, and chin. Plus you can even wear it as an eye shadow! (just remember matte peachy would also look chalky on those with darker skin).

6) SHEER ROSY LIP GLOSS

You can't go wrong with a rosy pink lip gloss. The reason why is: It will look like most people's natural lip color, but it's flattering even if it's not.

7) BROWN EYE SHADOW QUAD

The kind that has a range of shades from taupe to espresso can be adapted for every skin tone to define and complement the eyes. Women with fair skin can create soft or smoky looks, while those with dark skin can use the light shades as a highlighter under the brows and the deeper browns on the lids as an everyday shadow.

8)TURQUOISE EYELINER
It may be surprising to see the bright color on this list, "but it's a playful shade that will make a statement on every color of skin and the darker the complexion, the more vibrant the color will show!. 

9) SHIMMERY DEEP BRONZE EYE SHADOW

When you want something a little more festive than your basic neutrals, a sparkly deep bronze shadow is the way to go! Since is an evening look that works on everyone,Because it's an, id say dramatic version of a brown and all skin tones can pull it off , either on the lids or in the crease.

10) Purple eyeshadow
Yh, i know it sound a little crazy also but believe it or not it does complement every single skin tones from fair skin, to olive, and even more on darker shades, Now here i am talking about a true purple like Nars in daphne.

Hope you all liked this little guide of color and that it will be helpful to many out there! :)

Salon Express Nail Art Stamping Kit **Review**

So here i am, once again... lol
A few days ago i picked up at the store the Nail Stamping Kit from Salon Express, i had seen it before on tv and on my state fair, but i wasnt too sure about since not everything that shines its gold, or at least thats what my grandma would say, hahaha. Anyway i saw it and it was only $10, so i said to myself:  "why not?"
It comes with five (5) different design plates ( they r way too cute), a little scraper thingy, a plate holder and a stamper (which is what transfer the design from the plate to your nails!.

I gotta be honest the 1st time i ever tried i was sooo disappointed, i was all excited to try my new toy but bleh it didnt work at all; But thanks God for internet, i did a little bit of a research and i find out that to protect the plates from scratches, they come with a film on then as you'll see in the next pic), all you have to do is carefully peel it off, and that's it! :D

Second try went a little more smooth since this time i had already gained some experience , but it still didnt came out perfect, you need to be quick and precise, also if you use thicker Nail polishes it will work better ( Not old ones just the ones that are meant to be for nail art, since they really has a thicker consistency) .
I did try the plate on the picture above and it failed BIG time! i was so mad and still am, because one of the motives are stars! and they would look oh so cute!
Oh well maybe i just need a little more practice with this one. :)


Anyway... this is the ones that did work for me.

Arent they just so cute!!
Now i just need to let my nails grow a little, or maybe alot, hahaha. And let the fun begin!


Pros:
*Cute Designs.
*inexpensive.
*DIY
*Easy to Clean up. ( just use N. Polish Remover)

Cons:
*Not as Easy to do as advertised.
*Not all the plates give you a nice stamp.

Would i buy it again?
I dont think so.
Would i  recommend it to a friend?
yes, but ill let them know about how it isn't as easy as it looks. :)
