NOTD: Sonia Kashuk, Color Club, L'oreal

Hey guys! Today's NOTD is using L'oreal's Haute couture red(470), Sonia Kashuk's Taunting Teal (14) and Color club's Hot couture(875). How funny is that? Two polishes with almost the exact same name. I didn't even realize that!

NOTD: Sally Hansen's Black out & Color Club's Hot couture

Hey adventurers! Today's post is another nail of the day. I just took smoldering off today and it was kind of overdue but I wanted my black nail back. I don't know about you, but there is something so sleek about black nails. I have only been painting my nails continuously since about March when I took  my fake nails off and so I'm no pro at painting my nails as you can probably tell.

Black out by Sally hansen's Xtreme wear line has always been a favorite of mine because it's so black and smooth and dries fast. I just purchased Color Club's Hot couture from Bed Bath and beyond and this one surprised me actually; in the bottle it's pink, but on the nails I really see blue sparkles. It may be because of the dark color it's on top of but I still think it's a gorgeous top coat. I personally I love black with sparkles on the nails so I'm in love. :)

This is the order of which I did them, Nutra Nail strengthener, black out, hot couture, and my top coat that I chose is Insta dri!

Mally's High Shine Liquid Lipstick

Hey Adventurers! Today is a review of the item I recently received in my New Beauty Test tube. I received my tube about two weeks ago and was instantly drawn to this to try out. I don't know too much about the brand but a few people on youtube talk about them and love them. This bad boy will cost $20. As I said, I received it in my test tube so I didn't pay full price for it.

This product has a brush tip applicator--these pictures were taken when it was brand new to get the full effect of everything and to keep it in pristine condition; and who wants to see a brush coated in gloss anyway? hahaa. To get the product through the brush, you twist up the bottom. It took a pretty good minute for any product to get through the brush.

Here's a swatch of it--with flash. It has shimmer in it and quite a bit that you won't see in the tube, it surprised me actually. On the hand it was more of a stickier formula than I liked. On the lips it feels less sticky but it's still sticky and it's not something that I would run toward again. The lasting power on the lips is enough. It stays for about an hour, comes off on things and it's sticky. I know it says nothing about staying tough. But I just wanted more from this product.

Bottom line: I wouldn't purchase this product again, and I don't think I would of ever purchased this product for $20. The color is gorgeous but it's just too sticky for my liking. :/ Again, I just wanted more from this product.



What were your thoughts on this product if you've ever tried it? Also what would you like to see on this blog?

NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Hula Hula

Hey guys! I'm back with a review of NARS Hula Hula Eyeshadow Duo. NARS products are pretty pricey and this will run for $34. Usually in my opinion NARS Products are worth the price. I love their blushes and this is my only eyeshadow from them.

The duo comes with a pink and a light tan color. I picked it out because they were very neutral and easy to work with. Before you dip your brush in them, they look perfect. But the pink had VERY chunky glitter flakes that are very unappealing and get everywhere, and the chunks have gotten in my eye and they hurt so freaking bad it's not cool. The tan shade has no chunks of glitter-- actually they aren't really glitter, they are clear flake of a glitter like material but they don't give off a glittery effect. The tan shade is really gorgeous and I will probably continue to use it. But the pink shade is not appealing to me.

Final note, Hula Hula- pass.
