Hello beauties,


Neglect is a heck of a thing!  I am on a no buy and with that it helps me to utilize what I have in my stash. Many of my good old beauty besties in my stash have been getting major love since my no-buy and that is a great thing. Suddenly I find myself loving these products over again. NYX has been a brand I started out with and in this look you will see why I really loved the products from this brand.

FOTD: Sky Shadows

Hello Beauties,

I realized I have been sleeping on my MAC eyeshadows lately. Haven't been giving them the most love especially since other brands are cruising up to their level. So I pulled out the MAC babies today and wallah!!! Some of the items are from their new collection Heavenly Creatures.
My apologizes for another blue look, I wanted to use the new mineralized eyeshadow in Sky because it's a pretty color but mines gave me all matte blue and not the mixture of that golden light blue.
