Products of the Week!

Hello lovelies,


This week have I got a deal for you, one of my product of the week items is just $1 in Target. Let me first introduce both products of the week which are ELF lipstick in Gypsy and Covergirl Amazemint lipgloss in Plum Craze. I love both products, both as been my go to item for the this week and the combination is pretty.
Nonetheless the ELF lipstick in Gypsy is a mauve plum color and only a buck in Target or on ELF.com .... Now can you beat a deal like that. The Covergirl lipgloss has a minty and refreshing taste and smell and also makes the lips tingle when applied. Check out these products and try the combination and tell me if you like.


ELF lipstick: Gypsy


ELF lipstick Gypsy & Covergirl Amazemint lipgloss: Plum Craze


L-R: ELF lipstick Gypsy & Covergirl Amazemint lipgloss: Plum Craze



A previous look wearing both products on the lips



Upcoming look wearing both products on the lips



Have you tried any ELF $1 lipsticks and what is your favorite one/combination?

PRODUCT of the Week!

Hello lovelies,

Do you love glitters? Do you use glitters eyeliners in your makeup looks?
Well these items are becoming a favorite of mines when I do FOTD. I wasn't a fan of of glitters before but lately it has been growing on me since I did my glitter eye birthday look which everyone liked. From then on I pulled out my glitter items and decided I wanted to give them a go again. Some being glitter eyeliners from Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Collection which usually are being showcased near Halloween time.

Here are a few glitter eyeliners I own and love and believe me you don't have to break wallet in purchasing these.






All three pictures are swatches in the same order: 
L-R: Kleancolor glitter liners: Black, Midnight Blue, Gold, Lilac --- Ruby Kisses iBling-Glitz n Black --- Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers glitter eyeliners: Secrecy, Magical, Mystical



If you don't own any glitter eyeliners you can make your own by using cosmetics glitter and some glitter glue using a stiff flat eyeliner brush to apply as an eyeliner glitter paste to the eyelids.


To purchase the Kleancolor and Ruby Kisses glitter eyeliner check you local beauty supplies. Price: $1.00 - $2.99
As for the Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers glitter eyeliners they are being sold around the Halloween time period and found wherever Wet n Wild products are being sold. Price: $1.99

SWATCHES: Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks

Hello lovelies,


I know I didn't post a product of the week for last week but I was lost on time and have been procrastinating on this particular post. I am a major fan of Wet n Wild cosmetics and being a lipstick lover couple of my first choices in trying out bright bold colors on my lips were these very same lipsticks.
The Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks are creamy, somewhat long lasting (3hrs or less) and very nice color payoff. However, the main focus is the cost of these amazing lipsticks which are $0.99 in drugstores. I absolutely recommend these lipsticks to my clients when they want to try bold colors and don't want to spend a lot on testing out colors which suits them.



I have swatched all the colors that I have in my collection and all the colors which the website offers in this particular type of lipsticks. Some of these lipsticks are either cream or frost textures. Check it out!
