Coastal Scents haul/swatches/mini reviews + NOTD + OOTD.

I'm warning you now, picture over-freaking-load.


Sinful Colors in Mint Apple. I do not like this color. It looks better in this picture than it does in person, lol. It's too frosty for me. The color just reminds of winter time :| Oh I got the nail art stuff at Sally's. Eh, I also clipped my nails wayyy too short!


Now on to my
Coastal Scents haul!


I got 3 palettes. I kind of wish I got the Metal Mania palette now but the colors look too metallic-y for me :/ Too many decisions!


Everything was packaged so nicely! Tons of tissue paper & bubble wrap.
Oh, it says to wash your brushes with soap & water before using them. Did I do that? No. :)



I got the Pink Kabuki Brush & the Italian Badger Deluxe Crease brush. THEY'RE SO SOFT! Omg. I love them. I want to get more brushes from Coastal Scents. There wasn't any fall out either.


The one thing that I love about Coastal Scents is that they always give you a sample with your purchase. & I really like mine :)


This is the Glo Bronzer/Blush sample. I really like the color of it =) ...BUT I don't think I'll use this much. I don't like shimmery bronzers. I'll try it out & see how I like it.


This is the Ultra Shimmer Palette. This picture really does suck but I'm lazy & for now, this is all you guys get! Hahah. I haven't used any of the 88 palettes yet. They're so pigmented! I can't wait to play around with this bad boy. =)

But as you can see, one of the pots fell out! It was like that when I opened it. :(


But no damage done! :D I just put double sided tape on it & then stuck that sucker back in. I would've used my hot glue gun but I was feeling so lazy that day, ahah.
I really hope that nothing else falls out later on!


The 88 Piece one. You can tell that most of the shadows are matte but there's a couple shimmers in there as well. Same great pigmentation as the 88 Ultra Shimmer!


The 28 Piece Neutral Palette, like I need anymore neutral eye shadows!!!! :P
I'll be honest, I got this palette for the deep brownish/burgundy color (top right corner) LOL. That color just really stuck out to me! I didn't want to get the Hot Pots either so I just threw this in :) The slots for these are way bigger than the 88 palettes. I'd say they're a little smaller than those 50 cent coins.



I had to grab me some micas & pigments! =)


Castilla Eye Shadow Sample. I really don't like this color at all & I regret getting this one >___< ....I just wrote a shit load & it got erased 'cause the stupid HTML blogger uses. FACK. kasjdaksdjaklsdjakls ... Okay, anyways. What the heck should I do with this? Do any of you guys want it? I only swatched it once; other than that, I never used it. Bleh.
L-R: Amethyst Mica Powder, Misterioso Bronze, Metallic Pearl Honey Tan, Santa Bronze Mica Powder, Oriental Beige Mica, Opal Tan Mica, Paradise Sand Mica, Paradise Tropic Bronze, Eye Shadow Sample - Callista.


Oh & I guess I forgot to take a picture of the True Black Gel Liner I got. Oh well. I really like the texture of the liner, it's really creamy & smooth. But, the liner may be too creamy for my oily eyelids & 100 degree weather. I wore it out today, with UDPP, it still ended up smudging. I didn't have this problem with my HIP Cream Eyeliner :/ But, I did get a bad liner from HIP & it ended up drying out very quickly. Eh, I'll see about this liner. I'm going to try it out again.

Except a ton of EOTDs now, haha. I am seriously not going to get anymore makeup after this! Except for some lipstick & glosses :)

Sorry for the freaking huge post.
Oh yeah, giveaway is closed. I'll pick the winner tonight when I get the chance. I'm slackin'!
I hope to have another giveaway soon! I can't believe I have over 300 followers. I remember when I had only had like 1, LOL. Thank you guys, you are amazing!!!
xxoo.

NYX Round Lipstick Swatches in Circe, Sierra, Pumpkin Pie, Honey, & Twist.

Another round of NYX lipstick swatches.
I didn't exfoliate my lips & the application is messy, haha...sorry!
This is from my previous Cherryculture.com haul. Most of the colors are neutrals. I've been on the hunt for the perfect nude lip color, lol & I kind of failed here.

I guess Circe isn't a bad nude lip color but I think it's still a little too pale for me? Maybe I'm just not that into nudes...who knows... I think it's better paired with a light pink lipgloss :)

Well, enjoy!

NYX Sierra.


NYX Honey.
My least favorite! I think it's too pale for my skin tone.


NYX Pumpkin Pie.
My favorite out of the bunch! It's a pale pink color & is good for everyday lips!


NYX Twist.
I hate the frost :( I wish Cherryculture.com had better pictures of the color because they aren't the same online as in real life at ALL!


NYX Circe.

L-R: Circe, Sierra, Pumpkin Pie, Honey, & Twist.


xxoo.

Nail polish swatch: Essie in E-nuf is E-nuf

Gorgeous hot pink/coral color! I love this color for the summer :) I'm definitely going to paint my toes with this next! :)

This is my first Essie nail polish! They're pretty $$$ :/ What are you guys' favorite colors!? I was looking for French Affair but they sold out at Walmart :(

ALDO Nail Lacquers.

Dreamsicle.


Circus Elephant.

Sorry my nails are disgustingly ugly & short right now, aha. & sorry for the messy ass application, haha! I haven't been taking care of them lately! I've had no time for anything --especially updating this thing! :( I'm trying to keep it up to date though! TRYING!

Well, here are some swatches from my ALDO nail polishes! I do like them. These colors are apart of the new S11 collection. I am obsessed with Circus Elephant. I don't really care much for Dreamsicle...I think it would look better on my toes than fingers! :P Hahaha.

Thanks for looking as always! :)
xxoo.

Younique Nails AQmore nail polish review.

AQmore nail polish in Office Lady.

AQmore topcoat in Rhenish.

AQmore nail polish in Seaweed.

Younique Nails is an online store for all your nails' needs. They were kind enough to send me two nail polishes & a top coat to review. Now, AQmore isn't like every other nail polish out there. Their polishes are water based, which is healthier for your nails! Especially if you're constantly changing up your nails, like me :)

I was a little disappointed with the nail polish in Office Lady because it comes out quite differently from the bottle :( It's much darker & it goes on very opaque. Seaweed was easy to apply though. I believe it took only two coats to get that rich dark green color. My favorite was the coat Rhenish! I have many glitter nail polishes & top coats but NONE of them were as easy to remove as AQmore's!


Oh! & when you order nail polish from them, they also send you a piece styrofoam to test your polishes on. You can see how AQmore polish just glides on & the other nail polish soaks into the foam & eats away at it >___<



If you ladies are looking for a new nail polish that doesn't damage your nails, definitely go check out Younique nails.

NOTD: Holiday Red Nails!

I'm so mad that there's no freaking label at the bottom so I don't even know what color this is! :(
But, I am in LOVE with it! It's like the perfect color for the holiday season! ^____^

So how about you ladies? What's your perfect holiday nail color!?

Sinful Colors NOTDs :)

Barbie-esque nails :P


This is what I used for the first NOTD :)
Sinful Colors Soul Mate, Wet n Wild 460D, & Sinful Colors in Queen of Beauty.


Sinful Colors See You Soon.


My nails are all short & broken at the moment :( I haven't taken any biotin in a while, haha. I need to start!

Forever21's Love & Beauty nail polish swatch & MINI review.

Okay, I am in LOVE with this nail polish color! (Unfortunately I don't know the name of the polish :/)My coworker picked it up while we were shopping at Forever21 after we got off work, haha. I don't know why but Forever21 stays open an hour later than all the rest of the stores at the Fashion Show Mall, but I like it! :)

The polish is super pigmented. I think I might have only done 2 coats for that color. It's not streaky at all! The formula is actually really nice :) Nicer than the Revlon polish I picked up, FOR SURE! Hahah. In the second picture I added um Sinful Colors nail polish in All About You. You can see, it made the polish WAY darker! But once again, I like it! Hahaha. Oh & I didn't add a base or top coat to my nails.

The only thing I don't like about the nail polish is that it's a pain in the ass to remove. SERIOUSLY. It took me like 10-15 minutes to totally erase it off my nails! But, whatever.

SO!...

Overall: B+

My first YouTube video :P

I decided to do swatches of all my NYX lippies today. I swear I'm missing some & I bet that they're in my mom's bathroom! Hahaha. She likes to come in my room & take my lipsticks.
Well, I made a simple slideshow video for YouTube because I got bored :) I hope you guys enjoy it!

Ugh, the stupid 'o' in 'Apollo' is cut off! I don't know why. I tried editing it but it just wouldn't show up for some reason :(

It's been a while since I've edited videos! I used to hate making commercials & openings for broadcast journalism in high school, lol. That was the class to finish all my homework in :P But I really do miss having Adobe to edit with instead of Windows Movie Maker! :(


Oh & for just regular swatches click here.

Wet & Wild lipstick swatches.

Wet & Wild Lipsticks!

I've never done these type of lipstick swatches, so I hope you guys enjoy. The peach fuzz on my bottom lip kind of creeps me out though, lmao. Don't stare too long, you may get creeped out as well :P

Quick review:
The lipsticks are definitely matte. They don't go on easily onto your lips at all. You most definitely need to apply a lot of lip balm before! They are not moisturizing whatsoever. They're very pigmented though--basically what you see is what you get! I wish they had more colors though, maybe it was just my Walgreens. I got mine for $2.99 plus they were BOGO. They're not bad at all especially for the price. The packaging really sucks. I already got some lipstick on my lipstick caps since they down wind down all the way. The plastic that surrounds the lipstick is also a pain in the butt to remove. Oh, & once you remove the plastic, you lose the name of the lipstick. All they have is the # name of it on the bottom, which kind of sucks.

But really, I still like my NYX lipsticks more! They're cheaper & there's a wider variety of colors. But, I would still repurchase these lipsticks if I needed to! :)

Overall: B+

Here is my bare lips. I think I got some foundation on them though because they really aren't THAT pale. Idk, my lips are weeeeeeeird =)


902C Bare It All.


903C Just Peachy.
I am in love with this color & have been wearing it for the last 2 days.


907C Mauve Outta Here.


901B Think Pink
Dupe for MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick. I don't know about this light of a pink shade on my lips!


Just some normal swatches.
901B Think Pink, 902C Bare It All, 903C Just Peachy, & 907C Mauve Outta Here.


Okay, this came in super handy. I seriously couldn't open up any of the lipsticks without this razor! The plastic just really didn't want to come off I guess.


Swatch of the turquoise eyeliner just in case :) I forgot to swatch the Nutty eyeshadow, ehh.

beatiful nail, just one.

Just got an email from Cherry Culture! Ahhh, now I'm torn between getting NYX items or just getting palettes from Coastal Scents! -_____-

Ahhh, finally new nails!

Did my nails tonight. I never really wear pink nail polish but I am LOVING this color. It is in 945 Soul mate by Sinful Colors. I thought they were a tad plain so I added a lil’ somethin’ somethin’. Did I mention this was only one coat? Loooovely!


Literally finished this a minute ago. How am I typing? Seche Vite, baby! Shit drys my nails so quick, I love it. The white is Snow Me White by Sinful Colors & the black is Night Flight by Sally Hansen.




I love this video, never gets old! Hahaha, it's hilarious.


Just a quick little post :)
Don't forget to join my giveaway if you haven't yet! I can't believe I have over 200 followers! Thank you guys so much! Another giveaway, perhaps? I'm thinking when I reach 250 or something, lol.
xxoo

Nails nails & ... nails.

My nails right now. Min picked this color for me, since I like dark colors so much & he doesn't! Hahaha. Sinful Colors in Let's Meet for the yellow & then Snow Me White for the white. Random no name polish I got a while ago for the silver & base. I used Seche Vite top coat.


My nails last week. I didn't like it that much. I think the neon orange was weird with the white, aha. The orange was by L.A. Colors. Black by Sally Hansen in 24 Night Flight & the white was by Jessica .. no name, aha.


My first Sinful Colors nail polish haul. Only my first one cost $1.99 the rest were $1.49 & then one was actually 99cents! Weird.
L-R: Snow Me White, (No name tag :/), Let's Meet, Rise & Shine, Frenzy, What's Your Name, Secret Admirer.


I went back for more, HAHA. I couldn't help myself. & some don't have names because the stickers fell off.
L-R: Vacation Time, Soul Mate, Thimbleberry, (No name tag), I Love You, Mint Apple, Midnight Blue, See You Soon, Secret Admirer.


Haha, see! Stickers were just everywhere.


& I think these two colors are very similar!


I will not be buying anymore nail polish for a VERY long time -___- At least I hope, haha.
Oh & for some reason I can't visit a few of your guys' blogs :( I've been trying to figure out why but no luck! Bleh, sorry if I don't comment back.
