FOTD: Profusion Brightening Eye Look

Hey Beauties,


I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year and making the best of it as well as day by day completing their resolutions. This is the first year I have not made any resolutions for the New Year.
Why? I really don't know, maybe because I always don't get all of my resolutions completed so I will be doing what Rihanna says "Live Your Life"

During the Christmas holiday Walgreens had these $0.99 quads in different shades of colors selling. I happen to pick up two to give a try. I really like these quads, If i find them still I will have to get more colors. They are opaque, even though they have some fall out when applied but most shadows do.  If you have used Profusion before let me know your thoughts on the brand.

Product Focus: Ruby Kisses cosmetics

Hello beauties,


It's been a minute, I hope you all are enjoying your holidays. As we all await to ring in the new year, I would love to introduce you to a cosmetics line that is not getting the recognition it is suppose to. This cosmetics line is known as Ruby Kisses. Ruby Kisses is a cosmetics brand under the mother company of Kiss cosmetics.

I will not be doing a thorough review of each product but I will share pictures and swatches of them. Most of their products are dupes of mid high end brands and best believe they have been a favorites of mines lately.

Enjoy the swatches of these products and a review on individual products will be up shortly, allow me ample time to use these products as much to give you all a fair review.
