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: Capricorn Sea Shores

Hello Lovelies,

Instagram is my new favorite social media, I love that we can speak through photos and now view a fifteen second video of people and their lives. Lots of friendship and business deals are brought about through this avenue and I have found tons of inspiration as well as motivational individuals on this network. I follow a vast amount of beauty enthusiast as well as makeup artist, and I admire and adore their creativity and work. You have seen me recreate: "TheMuaAlex" looks done on reality TV stars of LAHHATL, " MsDrini " and now todays inspiration is "C__Bunny". If you are on Instagram definitely follow these MUAs and like their creativity. They are not limited by colors when ding their makeup.

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.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigment Eyeshadows

Hello,

It's been a while beauties but I'll be in full effect soon with FOTDs and lots more reviews. Be patient with ya girl!!! 
The new kids on the makeup block are these intense Eyeshadows from Maybelline called Color Tattoo Pure Pigments. I got four of them from seeing swatches on Instagram if these new products. The colors I purchased were: Black Mystery, Never Fade Jade, Brash Blue and Potent Purple. There are many more colors but these colors stood out to me. This is not an initial review of these products as I have not worn them on the eyes to see how they wear but from hand swatches there pigmentation is intense and yet when applied wet (foiled) they are even more desiring. I can't wait to give some banging eye looks with these and just maybe in the near future pick up some more to add to my upcoming review of these new products. Maybelline is definitely putting themselves as a favorite in the top 3 drugstore brands for me. 
Check out swatches of these new goodies: 



L-R: Black Mystery :: Never Fade Jade :: Brash Blue :: Potent Purple
         ( left -dry and right wet) 



[swatches were done with IPhone using indoor light]



My favorite so far are: Never Fade Jade and Brash Blue. 


Stay tuned for bright summer looks with these new goodies! Until then be safe and follow me on IG- @kimmydadiva or subscribe via the bloglovin or Feedly by following http://kimmydadiva.blogspot.com
