URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE REVIEW + THREE LOOKS!

Hello Lovelies!

Ever since I laid my hands on the Urban Decay Electric Palette I have been absolutely obsessed with it! I know it sounds and looks a bit scary, but you can actually do quite a few not so 'crazy' looks! The colors are beautiful and definitely pop, and just like all of the other Urban Decay shadows, the shadows are super pigmented, smooth and easy to blend. I love the packaging of the palette as well, it reminds of The Color Run Marathon or like a 'trippy psychedelic' picture. The palette also comes with a double ended brush that is actually pretty decent as well and I do use it for packing on color to my lids.

The Electric Palette 

SWATCHES

 These swatches are without primer and that color payoff alone is great! Although, I do highly recommend that you use a primer when using these so that they don't stain your skin.

*DIY* MAKE YOUR OWN NAIL POLISH!

Hello everyone! 

Lately I have been wanting to do some kind of small DIY project, so I decided to make my own nail polish. It is actually VERY easy! All you need is a clear polish, I'm using an elf Cosmetics one, an eyeshadow color of your choice, I picked the Whip Hand L.E. Loose Pigment in Special Forces. This is a sample I got in a Beauty Army box awhile back, I actually received to of them so that is the only reason I decided to use this one for the polish because it is a beautiful gold! The last two items you will need is a q-tip to help mix your polish and a piece of paper to put all your stuff on top of just in case you make a mess. 

The first thing you want to do is crush up your eyeshadow if you are using a pressed shadow, you can use a toothpick for this step. Then you just pour the eyeshadow into your clear nail polish and mix it together with the q-tip or even with the polish brush! I told you it was very simple! I recommend shaking it like crazy for a minute! 

Here are some pictures I took while making my polish!

This is 3 coats of the polish and I absolutely love the gold! It also gives off a little bit of a texture, which reminds me of the sand polish. I cannot wait to try this with other colors! I am planning on buying a lot of red eye shadow so I can make the perfect red polish! 

MAY BEAUTY BOX 5!

Hello everyone!

I received my May's Beauty Box 5 in the mail today! I will start by saying that this month's box was great, but even though I have only been subbed for two months I don't want a beauty subscription that sends products from the same companies month after month so I did cancel.... for now lol I think that BB5 is $12 per month. Want to get your own Beauty Box 5 subscription box, Click HERE.

Here is what came in my box!

Jean Pierre Tanning Towelettes (x2 towelettes):  I do not tan so this is not a product I will be using, I actually added this to go into the giveaway I am having that closes today! Hurry and enter if you haven't already! You can find it HERE. Retail price for a pack of 10 is $8.99.

La Fresh Deodorant Wipes (x2 wipes): I am actually really happy that I got these since I will be having a long airplane ride next week. I'm flying from Oregon to North Carolina and including layover time I will be traveling for 11+ hours with a 3 year old. These are definitely going to come in handy for that plane ride!! Retail price for a pack of 48 is $19.90.

Coolway Transform Styling Spray (3.30 OZ): This is a great size sample! My mom has already claimed this, which is fine because you are supposed to blow dry your hair after using and I never blow dry my hair since it dries straight on its own. Retail price is $24.95 for 6.7 Oz!

Model Co. Black Eyeliner (Full Size!): I know a lot of people dislike getting eyeliner, especially black eyeliner, in subs but I love it because I am an eyeliner hoarder! Actually to be honest, I'm an everything make up hoarder lol! I don't use pencil liners too often though, I prefer to use MAC's Fluid line but this eyeliner is a very true dark black and goes on smoothly and effortlessly! I like when pencil liners go on nicely and you don't have to practically stab the crap out of your eye to get the color on there lol This is full size and retails for $18!

Ferro Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow in Espresso: I really love this color! I like when I get sample eyeshadows that I can and will actually wear and this is definitely one of those colors! It is pretty shimmery but it doesn't go overboard on the glitter. There isn't much in the sample jar but a little goes a long way with loose pigments! Plus it makes me happy just for the fact that even though there was not much in the sample, at least they put it in a jar and not in like a little bag! 

I really did love this month and I do plan on re-subscribing hopefully in July, I just have to cut down on my subs while I'm traveling so that I don't have them stuck in my mail box forever lol!

I give this month's box an A! They really did a great job! Do you get BB5? If you do what color of eyeshadow did you get?!

MAY IPSY BAG!!!!

Hello everyone!!

I finally got my May Ipsy bag! I feel like I am one of the last people to get it but I am so excited to finally get it in my hands and to see what variation of products I got! If you don't know what Ipsy is, it is a monthly beauty subscription that costs only $10 per month. Every month you get a bag with beauty goodies in it, 4-5 items usually. Ipsy has to be one of my favorite beauty subs because you really get your money's worth! Want to join Ipsy? Click HERE.

Here is what came in my May bag!

Pacifica Coconut Crushed Pearl Luminizing Body Butter: I actually already have one of these so I am going to put it in my giveaway bag! (Click HERE to see the giveaway and join in!) 

Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-On: I am so excited about this item, I really wanted it and was crossing my fingers hoping I would get it and I did!! Woohoo Thank you Ipsy!!!

Zoya Professional Lacquer in Blu: Believe it or not this is actually my first Zoya polish ever lol! I tried this out and I liked that it dried within seconds of applying it! 

Yaby Concealer in Pecan: I am putting this in the giveaway as well because I am so pale, like I look like snow white! I'm hoping that it will benefit someone else!

Juice Beauty Lipgloss in Pink: Yes! I am so excited that I got a gloss and not a lipstick, I am more of a gloss person than a lipstick person so I am super stoked about this!

And Last but not least......

I got an extra item this month for contributing to Ipsy's site, even though I don't so I'm pretty sure they just put it in random bags lol

Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Moonspoon! These eyeshadows retail for $20 each so that is crazy that they put these in bags as extras! This alone pays for 2 bags! This will actually also be going to my giveaway because I do not wear silver eyeshadow often! So take a chance and try and win it! Again the link for the giveaway is HERE.

All together I give Ipsy an A+ for this months bag! All items are full sized!! My bag's retail value came out to $66.85!! That is absolutely amazing!

APRIL BEAUTY BOX 5!

APRIL BEAUTY BOX 5!

I subscribed to a couple new boxes this month and one of the new ones that I decided to try is Beauty Box 5. I heard about Beauty Box 5 through a Youtube channel that I am subscribed to called Pearls and Daggers the girl on there is absolutely adorable and I love watching her videos! So after seeing a few unboxing videos I decided to sign up for it! Beauty Box 5 costs $12 per month, if you would like your own Beauty Box 5 click Here. 

This is what I got in my first box!

The first item is some Oil-Absorbing facial Tissues by Jean Pierre. This comes in a pack of 50! I love these, especially with summer approaching so these went straight into my purse! This retails for $1.99.

LA FRESH Instant Body Smoother Wipes x2

Retail for about $0.40 each

Model Co. Illusion Lip Pencil in Nude. 

I like having a nude lip liner because it can work well with many different shades. I like this pencil because it is very smooth and doesn't feel dry on my lips.

Retails for $20.

Minxxette Small Brush Hanger.

I am excited for this product! I always dry my brushes on a cloth and when they sit on it for so long it flattens half of the brush, so this will definitely come in handy!

Retails for $4.99.

The last product that I received is an eyeshadow from Brazen Cosmetics in Birthday Suit. It is a nude/natural brown, it is very pretty! 

Overall I really enjoyed this month's box and cannot wait to see what comes in May's box!!
