Walking On Eggshells

Recently I picked up this Wet n Wild Trio in Walking on Eggshells, which is extremely popular around the beauty community. It was $2.69 at Giant. It comes with 3 eyeshadows that tell you exactly where they go. emilynoel83 on youtube (Beauty Broadcast) Talking about all three of these colors being dupes for mac eyeshadows!

This is perfect for everyday, school, work, whatever you do on a daily basis because it's pretty natural and easy and quick.

I took the eyelid shade and put it all over my lid and then fluffed the crease shade into my crease. I put a tiny bit of the browbone shade on my inner corner.

 I really love these eyeshadows, they're extremely pigmented and have an amazing price. Definitely my favorite drugstore eyeshadow brand!

Urban Decay Feminine Palette

So on Urban Decay's website, I noticed that these palettes were on sale from $32 to $16,  there were 3 options originally but the Feminine palette was the only one left. Urban Decay is having major sales, you should definitely check out their website. This palette is still on sale. It came with 3 samples: the primer potion, two face primers, and 3 tinted moisturizers. Also they sent a $5 off coupon for the next time I place an order. The palette came in super cute packaging. It came with a mini eyeshadow primer potion in Eden, a matte nude color. 

Inside the palette is one of their 24/7 eyeliners in zero, which is black. Then it came with 6 eyeshadows.

Top: stray dog, swf, midnight cowboy, 

Bottom: aquarius, darkhorse, ecstacy 

I love how it has half neutral colors and half colorful. It's a really small palette so it will be great for travel and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it. This is actually my first purchase from Urban Decay!

So I would go check out their website for some awesome sales!

ULTA Brand Makeup Reviews!

I have acquired a few products from ULTA's makeup line; some amazing, and some not so great.

First I have two of their extreme wear whipped eye shadows. They are liquid-ish creams that harden when dry, which allows them to stay on for so long. They have a great wear time, when I wear them to school they're still perfectly there when I get home after around 8 hours. I have one in Cream Puff and one in Tiramisu Cream. I love love love the tiramisu cream (right one). It's amazing and perfect for every day. However, the cream puff one is definitely a miss. It looks like a light pink, but it sheers out to be an almost white streaky color that's not flattering and has no use whatsoever. These usually cost $8 but ULTA always has great sales and deals on their products, so you can get them for much cheaper.

So I love tiramisu cream, and strongly dislike cream puff. 

Next I have some eyeshadows. On the left is just one of their singles in Sage. It's a light green with no visible sparkles in it. On the right is a baked eyeshadow duo in Sweet Dreams. The right side of it is a pinky-purple, and the marbled side comes off as a cool light brown. Neither of these shadows have astounding pigmentation. 

The baked eyeshadow has the worst in my opinion. Even when used wet it's difficult to get lots of pigmentation off of it. You really have to build it up for it to be visible on the eyes. The baked eyeshadows are regularly $8.

Sage has a little bit better pigmentation that Sweet Dreams, though.My sister has lots of other eyeshadow singles from ULTA that are nicely pigmented, so maybe Sage is just sheer because it's a light color. I still do like it though. The single eyeshadows are regularly $7, but like I said you can get some amazing deals. They have a huuuge color selection so that's great. 

Next I have one of their tinted lip balms in Sweet. This is my go-to lip product for everyday. It's very sheer, but moisturizing and gives a nice little tint to the lips. It does have visible sparkle in it, but you can't see it when you apply it to your lips. It gives them a nice sheen. I love this. They go for $6.00 regularly. 

Then I have a gel eyeliner in Peacock, a fun turquoise color. This eyeliner is creamy and pigmented, and I love it for a pop of color on my waterline. It costs $8 regularly.

Here is swatches of everything.

Left to Right: Sweet Dreams Baked Eyeshadow, Peacock Eyeliner, Sage Eyeshadow, Cream Puff, Tiramisu Cream, Sweet Tinted Lip Balm

So that's all of the ULTA brand makeup I have! If you have any other ULTA makeup you love or hate, share it with a comment!

Small Haul

Today I ran some errands with my mom and I ended up getting a few things! From Old Navy I got brown sandals with some gold detailing  on the sides. They were around $18. Then, at Target, I was looking for BB creams to try, but they had none! But I couldn't resist the new megaplush mascara. A few days ago I tried out my friends mega plush mascara and I really love how it lengthens and separates. It was about $7. Last, I got another elf eyelid primer because I love it and it's only $1. So that was my small haul!
