FOTD: Crucible Gold

Hello Lovelies,

I am so impressed with these TKB Trading micas I have gotten couple months ago. These Micas are super intense and I have not even pressed then into eyeshadows yet. I prefer to spend on these individual sample baggies than on pigments from these other companies which sell the same micas from TKB Trading and stamp pigments on them. I've saved lots of money to even get more additional micas to try and use. For a sample baggie you get a long lasting amount that will fill a 5gram jar and leave more. So here is my Look Of The Day!!!

LIPS II
Wet n Wild lip stain: Red My Mind 







On this Wet n Wild lipstain right here, it's the worst product Wet n Wild has ever made. Like WTF!! It's so rubbery and it takes forever to dry, furthermore you cant even blot your lips together as if you do it will come off as rubber. The only good is, it's an intense color. Hey Wet n Wild cosmetics, get your ingredients right with this one.

FOTD: Mandarin

Hell Beauties,

Today's look is simple but yet fierce. I wanted a way to use my Inglot eyeliner that has dried out on me, but if you use their Duraline you'll definitely get use of it when dried. However, Ruby Kisses has single eyeshadows available now and I found them at my local BSS for a buck so I wanted to try them out and yes they are super intense for the price especially the matte colors. These eyeshadows do have fallout as with any eyeshadows and their are a variety of colors available. If you see them in your local BSS definitely add some to your collection. I will definitely do swatches of them as soon as I add more to the few I purchased.

FOTD: Forest Shimmer

Hello lovelies,

I have been itching to use my TKB Trading pigments for a minute now. Here's my Face of the Day featuring their micas/pigments. However, I used a nail glitter that I purchased from Sally's Beauty Supply store and I am in awe at the texture, how smooth it was to apply as compared to some brand eye glitter. I will be purchasing more of these glitters in the future. Also in this look you may notice my lashes are green, no it's not from my eyeshadow, I went ahead with using Wet n Wild Color Up MegaVolume mascara in Olive Green which I am surprised worked in my favor. Enjoy this look.
