Badashnails Review! 💕

Hi babes! I wanted to share a little gem i found on Etsy recently, it’s a hand painted false nail shop located in Florida called Badashnails. The owner Ashleigh, can custom make any shape, color or other requests you may have for a really great pricing and shipping was fast. I ordered a pair of these gorgeous deep purpley grey stiletto nails and i am so impressed, i really think i am going to be ordering many many more haha, and create some custom ones as well! 🙂 Let me show you what i received!

They look a tad lighter in person, i have a picture that will show their truest shade if you continue reading. All though this is pretty close to what they look like.

These are truly beautiful and she spent time filing them into a nice sharp claw for us ladies who like them sharp💖💅🏼 😉 She also offers the other standard shaped nails like coffin, square tip, oval & also the finishes.. I chose matte stiletto!

This picture above show their color perfectly, and i am in love with it. They have stayed on wonderfully and are still sharp and the color hasn’t faded at all. I am so happy i purchased them! ❤ I suggest you go check out her shop if you are interested, https://www.etsy.com/shop/Badashnails.

Thanks so much for reading loves! I hope you enjoyed this post and have a great Holiday with you families ❤ Leave comments & thoughts if you’d like!

Christmas Eyeshadow Collab with Bhavika! <3

Hi everyone! So i partnered up with the lovely Bhavika to do a christmas collab. She thought of getting together with 12 other bloggers, for the 12 days up until Christmas! Her posts were awesome you should click on her name above and check them out! You will love it! 😀 We both decided to do a festive holiday eye shadow look together. First i will show you what she has created, it is so gorgeous you are gonna love it!

Hey guys! It’s Bhavika from http://www.manikui.wordpress.com. I have a quick and easy eye makeup tutorial for you all today. I’m not a makeup artist but I do sometimes love to just play around with makeup and share what I’ve created on my blog. Today, I will be sharing my little creation on Tami’s blog! I absolutely love her blog and think she is a wonderful blogger. She is really sweet and has AMAZING eye makeup in every single of her posts! She is really talented! But I am sure you guys know that already…

For my shimmery pink eye makeup, I used:
– Maybelline Lash Sensational / Linked HERE.
– Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer – light / Linked HERE.
– Maybelline Master Precise Liquid eyeliner / Linked HERE.
& this mini makeup revolution palette which game from one of their Christmas gift sets this year! / I cannot find it online anymore! 😦

Please ignore my eyebrows, haha! Haven’t had them threaded in a long time! I think I better do it before Christmas day though.

I first used the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer under my eyes to cover the dark circles under them. It really brightened my eyes up!

I then covered the base with the lightest pink shade in the palette which is next to two matte light highlighted shades in the palette (none of the shades have any names – sorry!). It is an extremely pale pink colour – like an off white colour and has A LOT of shimmer. It is great for the base!

Next, I used the two darker pinker shades next to the endearing copper shade on my crease. I kept alternating between them until I had a really dark pink crease. The pictures really do not do it justice! (Santa, I need a better camera for Christmas! haha) It looked incredible in person. There was so much shimmer and definitely a great Christmas party look if you want to look fresh and sparkly.

I finished off my look with one coat of my Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara on my top lashes (which was definitely enough for me since my eyelashes are incredibly long and thick). I also did quite a thin winged liner with my Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner. It is very easy to use due to its thin tip and makes a wonderful cat eye!

That’s it for the look.Hope you guys liked this! I am so disappointed that I couldn’t find the link of this palette but I am pretty sure there must be more Makeup Revolution palettes out there with these shades.

Wasn’t that just gorgeous? I love that wing! She is so talented and sweet, go follow her if you haven’t already 💕 She has a wonderful blog! Now this is what i came up with:

As you can see i did a Smokey Ruby look, i wanted to do something more dramatic since i’ve been doing more fun festive looks lately!

The products i used to achieve this look:

• ColourPop Super shock shadows in Get Lucky (gold) & Erotic (bright red)
• Z-Palette- The two shades the brushes are pointed to (Burgundy & Black)
• Tarteist Clay Paint Liner in Black
• Mally Base Shadow/Primer

How i did it:

First off  I moisturized my face and applied my foundation, then i applied my Mally base shadow (it’s like a really thick primer for the eyelid) to both of my lids, next i took “Get Lucky” gold eye shadow and applied it into my inner V. After that i took the burgundy shade from my Z-Palette and placed it in the crease area. Now i went over the burgundy lightly with “Erotic.” This intensified the color making it look much more red toned than purple, i also brought that color in over my lid. Lastly, i went into my outer V and some of my crease with black, darkening up and making it look more dramatic! 🙂

I really hope you guys enjoyed this Collab, it was my first one ever and i wanted to thank Bhavika so so much for choosing me as one of her 12 bloggers, you’re awesome! Don’t forget to go check out her collab post on her site as well! Love you all, leave your comments and thoughts for both of us! 🙂

Icey Blue Winter Makeup Look!

Hi beauties! Just wanted to post another quick Winter themed look today! I actually got a call this morning from my boss saying it’s a snow day and to stay home! How awesome is that? 🙂 So the snow has brought me this icey-princess inspiration, let’s get started!

Today i used:

• MAC Mineralize Liquid Foundation
• MAC Mineralize Concealer
• L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Powder Foundation
• SMASHBOX Halo Glow Color Boosting Powder (bronzer)
• MAC Strobe Liquid
• MALLY Base Shadow/Primer
• Tarteist Clay Paint Liner in Black
• SMASHBOX Full Exposure Mascara
• Z-Palette: A couple blue shade variations & white
• Milani Baked Blush in Bella Rosa
• Salon Perfect Falsies
• DUO Lash Glue

As you can see i used a few different shades of blue to create depth in this particular look. I also added a very small extra wing to my liner, while bringing it out from my bottom lash line as well as on top. This made my eyes look wider and cuter. ❤ When using bright colors like these, use a shade lighter than your base color to blend things out. If you don’t have a lighter shade of blue, go ahead and use white and you can easily create the faded out, lighter blue look.

For my lips i applied a primer, then dabbed a silver shadow in the middle of my lips, then applied the same lighter blue color for filling in the rest of my lips, followed by lining key areas with a darker blue shadow.

I hope you all loved & enjoyed this post! Thank you for reading and please do leave comments and thoughts for me, i miss talking to you guys! ❤

Quick Ipsy December Glambag Review!

Hello again all! ❤ I received my lovely little pink bag in the mail today, so you know what that means… Review time! 😀

The little card is so adorable it has all the famous youtubers on it but in little cutesy drawings! I really don’t read these anymore though, because they always mislead me. So let’s just get right into it!

First off we have this sweet little teeny tiny Fomula X Nail Polish, in a gorgeous shimmery champagne golden shade called “Revved Up”. I’ve heard great things about Fomula X and i’m excited to try it because i do not own any colors by this brand. I especially like this color for the upcoming Holiday ❤ Did any of you get a different shade?

The next few items i’ll cover now. Starting off with the Anti Aging Lip & Hand Polish by Jersey Shore Spa in the scent “Vanilla Bean.”

Here i squeezed a little out for you to see the texture & consistency. It clearly has a very abrasive exfoliating quality to it, with large sugar crystals and also nice hydrating characteristics because of the jojoba oil you can see draining off. I have been in dire need of a great lip polish in these colder months here in AZ. So i was VERY excited to see this, and since i plan on only using this on my lips the deluxe sample size will last me FOREVER! I also love the smell, it’s more of a natural Vanilla Bean scent than the typical artificial vanilla cake smell. Thank you Ipsy! ❤ You saved my lips!

Next up we have the two lip products i was sent!

Left: Pacifica Power of Love Vegan Lipstick in ‘Nudie Red’

Right: Model Co Illusion Lip Liner Pencil in a Mauvey/Brown Shade

First off i would like to say if you want to see a lip swatch of these two products, check out my last post because i used them together to create a beautiful natural lip! I absolutely LOVE the texture of both of these, they glide on your lip and are super creamy and opaque. I usually would prefer if Ipsy sent me brighter colors, but these are the perfect nude duo, and i am so happy these were sent to me. Great lip products! ❤ These are both FULL SIZE also!

And lastly, we have the dreaded hair care sample:

If you read my Ipsy reviews you know that i am never too happy when i get a heavy glambag only to crack it open and find a big ole’ tube of hair product or hand lotion 😦 I like coconut but i don’t need these types of samples as i already have a pretty religious hair ceremony. LOL. Passing this item off to a friend.

And that’s all for my Ipsy Glambag! I really hope you all enjoyed this review, let me know what you got in YOUR bag down below! ❤ Love you all! 🙂 Remember to follow my instagram and youtube channel if you haven’t already!
