FOTD: L.A. Colors Sand Dune

Hello Beauties,


I know you all thought I was completely done with my L.A. Colors eyeshadow trio series. Well I still have a few more trios left in my stash to do looks on and today I will share Sand Dune which is one of the most complicated trios to do a look for. Reason being is the the colors don't come together, they have a blue silver shade, a bronze shade and a charcoal shade which don't compliment each other. I tried my best to create something subtle.

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
