MINI HAUL: $1 FINDS

Hi lovelies,

I recently saw a post by the lovely NouveauCheap about these mini kits containing L.A. Colors goodies. I went to my local $1 store which is called DEALS but a sister store to Dollar Tree to see if they had received these little goodies in stock. Of course they had them and I had to pick up a few. These mini kits are all $1 each and each kit comes with various items: some eyeshadow palettes with a mini eyeliner or nail polish with glitter jar or lipstick with mini lipliner and lipgloss and others beauty items.

Here are pictures of what I purchased and swatches as follow


Mini value kits



Ocean Breeze eyeshadow kit


Swatches not in particular order and no primer or base used



Berry Smootie lip kit: lipstick, mini lipliner and lipgloss



Sugar Coated lip kit: lipstick, mini lipliner & lipgloss

 The lipsticks are very creamy and have a cotton candy fragrance to them. I actually like the lipsticks and for a buck I didn't expect any high-end quality from them, not saying they are comparable to high-end lipsticks. However they are worth a try and great mini gifts for beginners. Check out your local Dollar Tree or DEALS store for these cute goodies.






*All items were purchase by me and i am in no way affiliated with any of the companies/ individuals mentioned

FOTD: GIOVI palette re-visited

Picture heavy!





Hello lovelies,

I hope everyone is doing well. My FOTD for today features me using the Giovi eyeshadow palette I had purchase couple years ago at Ross. I haven't played in this palette for so long.

FOTD: Addicted to Red lips

Hello lovelies,

I hope each and everyone of you beauties are doing well. I apologize for the delay in post.... the queen bee gotta take care of her hive...LOL!

The FOTD are looks that I may have done before and decided to re-create. I have just been recreating looks since I don't want to go overboard on bright colors for any work makeup. However can you point out the main love for me: red lips. I am truly addicted to red lips, it's a lip color which is so versatile that their is no season in which you can and cannot wear this.

Here are the photos and sorry but I truly don't recall the products used.


LOOK 1



Don't you just love that lip color... oh so gorgeous!


*******************


LOOK 2





Here we have matte red lips




If you have any questions, please free feel to ask and I will do my best to respond. Thanks beauties for your support and love. 


Be fabulous and be smart!
