Update: New Natured Beauty Products! 🌿💄🌿

Hi beautiful ladies! I wanted to stop by your feed to share some beautiful new products being sold by Natured Beauty, the wonderful Etsy shop I had mentioned a little while back. The owner Philicia, has been busy at work creating new products and shades to offer us!

Let’s get right into it- starting with the first new lipstick shade she sent me called “International Lover” a dusty, gorgeous pink.
* Looks a tad brighter in this picture than it does in person. *

I have already reviewed the actual lipsticks by Natured Beauty LLC for you in my last post about her lovely shop. But if you don’t recall what I said about them- they are seriously  SO creamy, smell wonderful and they are amazingly opaque! Just as good as my MAC lipsticks, no joke ❤ Her lipsticks hydrate your lips as well as making them look kissable & fabulous. Something MAC did the opposite for me- my lips always felt dry during & after wearing their lippies. 

Next let’s look at her new Buttercream Cupcake Scented Liquid Lip Creams & Hybrids!!! 🎂

Meet the “Sinful” hybrid, a gorgeous coral yet pinky-toned red that has been sprinkled with fine silver glitter. This is one my absolute favorites out of the shades she sent me! ❤️ It is just such a sexy, vivid color that would look so great on date night paired with a little black dress 😉👗 If only I had a pair of heels in this EXACT shade…

Next we have the beautiful Yellow Liquid Lip Cream in Lemonade Pop- If you remember my last post I had reviewed a yellow lipstick by Natured Beauty called “Lemonade Pop”. This is basically the liquid version- maybe just a tiny bit more vibrant! 💛 I seriously just have a special place in my heart for bright yellow lipstick. Maybe it’s because I find it an appealing contrast with my deeply dark hair and eyes, or maybe it’s because I think it is the PERFECT festival lippie color, it radiates sunshine and good vibes! From inside your heart and from your lips! You can’t help but feel bright when you have this shade on 🌟🌞🌟

Now we have “Midnight Purple” Hybrid 💜 This shade is such a rich, kind of galactic-spacey, indigo purple. It is just magnificent! Stunningly beautiful with the many multidimensional shifts of blue and violet. I have never seen anything quite like this shade before, not to mention the color payoff is great and it’s got a super creamy texture. You will feel like a true, sexy space explorer in this color! 😉🚀💕

This one is DEFINITELY my other favorite, this is the “Grey Goose” lip cream. And by favorite, I mean I am going insane over it. This Liquid Lip Hybrid is sure to turn heads everywhere you go. Seriously, just look at this shade!!! It is a very modern, unique stone color. I know for a fact I am going to be wearing this 24/7, Lol! It is just an extremely sophisticated and well rounded shade, something we have yet to see from high end brands like MAC and JStar Cosmetics. If you are a fan of grey, greige, violet greys ANYTHING cool grey toned- you must try “Grey Goose.” You’re gonna be addicted to this one ❤️❤️❤️ Somebody call Alchoholics Anonymous! 😵

Here I am showing you her beautiful Black Liquid Lip Cream paired up with the Natured Beauty “Grey Goose” lip cream. This black shade is literally black as black as black can be! 😄 It’s an amazing formula too, because it DOES NOT stain or get stuck deep in your lip creases, like most black and dark red/purple liquid lippies tend to do. Anyways, I wanted to show you what creative things you could do with the black. Like a grey and black ombre effect! Or any color for that matter! The options are endless with Natured Beauty’s Liquid Lip Creams & Hybrids 🕸🌚🕸 Love this color so so much, it’s a very easy black to work with which can be hard to find in liquid lipsticks. Easy to wipe away mistakes, hydrating to your lips and no dark staining at all! 

Please do go check out Philicia’s shop here: Natured Beauty LLC! Pick out something you like and try it out for yourself- you won’t be dissapointed! These products are beautiful, good for you and made with love & care 🌿💄🌿

Thanks for reading babes! I hope you liked this post, leave comments & thoughts for me 🙃

Short Spring Makeup Tutorial & Maybelline Product Review! 💛💐💛

Hi Babes! I’m back today with some spring-spiration! 💕🌷💕 I haven’t done a makeup tutorial for a while and I thought, what a better way to come back with a great makeup look but for the new spring season! 😁 Let’s get right into shall we???

So I was sitting here thinking of colors I associated with spring, first and almost instantly “pastel” came to mind. But I continued to simmer on the idea and I just wasn’t satisfied with pastels right now, I wanted something bolder. Something that could be worn out to a nice dinner date and you look fabulously spring-y but also suave and sexy. Then, I began thinking neutral with a POP of spring color! 😁 So I ultimately decided on a chocolate brown cut crease look, with a vibrant turquoise winged liner to go with it. Please continue reading if you’d like to see what products I used and pictures of my the look I created! 💖

  
Here are the products I used to create this look!

  
  
  
*Benefit “Big Beautiful Eyes” Eye Contour Palette (Dark brown shadow)

*Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in “Ibiza.” (Used as eyeliner)

*Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara 

*Maybelline Master Contour Kit

*Pixi by Petra Beauty Blush Duo in “Rose Gold.”

*Milani “Bahama Beige” Lip Stick

*FLOWER Beauty About Face Liquid Foundation

*Salon Perfect Half-Falsies (Not in photo) 

*OFRA Eyebrow Pencil in Brown (Not in photo)

*MAC Mineralize Concealer (Not in photo) 

*L’Oreal Infallible 16 HR Pro Matte Powder Foundation (Not in photo)

   
Now I just wanted to quickly review the Maybelline products for you! 

 
 

Maybelline The Master Contour Kit: When I first saw this in my local Walmart I was eager to try it out. Unfortunately, I didn’t so much like the highlight or contour shades. The contour was much too light for my olive complexion, and the highlight was so-so. I have much better quality highlighters by MAC, Pixi and Wet n’ Wild. The one thing I really loved about this palette, was the blush! It is such a beautiful, healthy/natural glow type pink. Like you just got done working out or something, so pretty 😍 I recommend this for the blush. But the contour and highlight might work better for you if you are very fair skinned. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: This stuff is black gold! 💖 I have been in search of an affordable mascara that separates and lifts my lashes towards the sky 🌞 This one does just that. Maybelline is funny, they come out with TONS of different mascaras. We’re always seeing new commercials with supermodel’s with the best looking lashes, and I’ll go out and try all of these mascaras & I’ll hardly like any of them. But finally, one has lived up to it’s claims! 💜 Highly recommend! No need for expensive mascaras when this one exists 😁

Anyways, Thanks so much for reading babes! Please leave your comments and thoughts for me ❤️ xoxo

Natured Beauty Lip Products Review! ❤️

Hi ladies! 😍❤️ Hope you all had a fabulous easter holiday.💝🐰 I am back to share with you all a brand a recently discovered on my favorite place to find new and amazing makeup brands, Etsy.com. This time the brand is called Natured Beauty. The owner Philicia was kind enough to send me some of her products to review and test out for her! She is such a sweetheart and so amazingly talented, you are just going to love her products. ❤️ Please keep reading if you want to know more about this awesome new cosmetics brand!

Let’s get started! Philicia has been quite the cosmetics scientist if you ask me. Her shop is full of a beautiful variety of lippies, glosses and laquers and even eyeshadow that are all humane/not tested on animals- which is so important to me 👍🏼 We are going to be covering lippies and gloss/laquer today 💋❤️ I’ll have more products and more colors from Natured Beauty to show you in the near future!

  

First: The Pastel Purple Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  

  
When I saw this in my package the first thing I thought of was “Koala” by ColourPop Cosmetics. This is pretty much a dupe just not in liquid form. I am a huge fan of matte lilac lip shades, and this lipstick formula is PERFECT. It is so opaque and creamy, the texture of these lippies are comfortable and not over-drying like many matte lip products are known to be. Not to mention this shade is a perfectly balanced pastel lilac color, and I guarantee it would look fantastic on any complexion!

Second: The Bright Lime Green Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  
I adore all the bright and untraditional lip shades. They are so much fun and no doubt save the day when you have a costume party, concert or music festival to go to- or maybe when you’re just feeling bold & fierce and want the world to know it! (AKA my face in the pic above lol) 💚 This shade has all the same great qualities as her other lippies; It’s a tangy lime green tone that will compliment most skin colors & complexions, it’s super creamy and has great color payoff, not drying at all, velvety matte texture and it’s wearability is great. Stays put on your lips, and not on your teeth! ❤️💋❤️

Third: The Lemonade Pop Bright Yellow Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  

When I first pulled this out of my Natured Beauty package, I was like, “How on earth is this going to show up on my light skin? I may need to use a lip primer first…” Boy, was I wrong! Philicia put a little extra magic into this one, since yellow is such a light color as it is, and she made it super opaque and bright as the sun itself! 🌟 I really love this shade, it is so fun and bright while being a lighter pastel at the same time. Perfect for clubbing, concerts and festivals and everything in between. Get your party on with this poppin’ lemonade yellow lippie! 💛

Fourth: The Pastel Orange Lippie $3.00 USD ea.

  

In the tube, this shade looks like it would be a darker adobe/clay orange color when applied. But to my surprise, it is the absolute prettiest light peachy orange shade. I would compare it to MAC’s ‘sushi kiss’ or ‘sweet and sour.’ I just applied a tiny bit of gloss over this last lip swatch to show you that you can easily make any of these matte colors shine, with only a little gloss!

Lastly: The Cosmic Purple Lip Gloss $3.00 USD ea.

These are so fun to use! 💜 I would call these a hybrid between Lip gloss and Lip tars (if you are familiar with those), although they are called glosses in Natured Beauty’s shop. They are thicker/heavier than a traditional gloss and have extreme shine & hydrating qualities 😉 They are also more opaque and show off the true color more vibrantly than a regular gloss would. Regardless, these are beautifully made and apply wonderfully with a lip brush! I also discovered that using the Pastel Purple Lippie beneath and applying a little Cosmic Purple Gloss on top, makes for a stunning galactic type of combination!

Check out some of these other gloss shades she is offering +more in her shop!…
  

My overall thoughts: Every product I reviewed for you today I really adore, honestly. I am always looking for new cosmetic brands that deserve to be recognized and this is another one of those awesome smaller brands! These lipsticks are just as nice as my MACs, but I honestly like the wearability of Natured Beauty’s lippies much better. I can smile, talk and drink without eating my weight in lipstick, which I really appreciate and enjoy more than anything. I have been in search of a lippie that stays put, looks great and is affordable and girls, I found it! 😍💄The lip gloss is stunning, it makes my lips look like I dipped them in purple space honey. Just look at that picture above!! 😉 So luxurious, all of it. Please, go check out Natured Beauty’s Etsy shop HERE!
Thanks for reading babes, hope you enjoyed! Leave comments and thoughts for me! Stay tuned for more reviews for Natured Beauty and other brands i’ve discovered as well! ❤️

How I paint my blank full coverage fake nails! 💅🏼

Hey ladies! 😘❤️ I’m back again with a quick tutorial for you girls on how I usually paint my blank fake nails. Like these:

I for one am no good at painting my fingernails. I will make a mess lol 😞 I’m usually never satisfied with how it turns out either, and I tend to mess up my mani every single time by touching them to something, as if I were cursed. 😂But now i’ve solved my messy, frustrating situations by painting them off my hand, let me show you what I mean! Some of you may have already figured this out, but I thought it’d make for a nice post. 👍🏼

Starting off, I filed each nail into a nice point because they didn’t come very sharp at all. This is the time consuming part, but it’s worth it to make nice, sharp talons.

Secondly, I prepped my nails. Filed them down and lightly filed the surfaces of my nails to give the fake ones something to hold onto better.

Next, I started assembling my helpful q-tip tool for holding the nails while I apply the nail polish!

Pretty simple right? Just roll a little short peice of tape, stick it to the q-tip, and then press the nail onto it. Then all you have to do is paint them! Like so:

Here is a close up picture of how sharp I filed these ones compared to how they came… That white nail below the pink is an original, pretty round right?

Now that you have your nails painted flawlessly, you’re probably going to want to use a pair of tweezers to pull off the little pieces of tape after removing the q-tips. Then simply glue them to your nails and enjoy! A picture perfect, inexpensive manicure. That box of 500 fake nails cost me only $10.00 USD on amazon.com and I already owned everything else 👏🏻

What do you think? Leave me your thoughts and comments babes ❤️ Keep tuned for some new awesome brands i’ll be sharing with you! Have a beautiful night.

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!

Quick Review: MUA Lip Crayons & Gloss! 👄

Hi beautiful people! 😁 Today is FRIDAY!!! 💫🌟💫 Just wanted to share another few items i got for my birthday 🎂 Some Makeup Academy lip products in BEAUTIFUL colors! Let’s get right into it!

💗

These two are the lip crayons, in “Mauve” and “Fuschia.” Not sure why it is called mauve because it’s not haha but whatever, it’s a gorgeous regardless! 💘

The lipgloss in “Rose” comes with this thin and flatter doe foot applicator, making it easy simple application. This gloss smells like a typical lip plumping gloss, like tea tree oil or something intensely minty. Although, this is not a plumper it just smells like one. 😁 The color is very opaque and looks like a rosey glaze over your lips.

Let me show you some swatches!

Top: Fuschia Mid: Mauve Last: Rose Gloss

I really do love every one of these colors and they are super pretty, hydrating and creamy on the lips, but i find that the color on the actual packaging was mileading for “Mauve,” (the bright fig/orchid color tip) and the name was just flat out wrong haha.. Not too sure what happend with this color but i do like the color it really turned out to be, like a lighter bubblegum pink. 🌸 I’ll definitely be rocking all of these babies! 😆 Such an awesome gift!

I would reccomend these products over all, and they have tons more shade options if these ones in particular don’t speak to you! 😁💗

Thanks for reading honeybees! Please leave thoughts and comments for me!

SUGAR SKULL!!! 🍭💀 Halloween Makeup! Bright & Beautiful!

Hi gorgeous ladies! I am SUPER excited to share with you this beautiful look on how to tranform your face into a sugar skull for Halloween! 🎃🔪👻 I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while but i have been terribly busy with work, but i finally got a couple hours to myself so i took my oppurtunity to do another Halloween makeup look for you all. Just a reminder to ENTER my OCT GIVEAWAY! Open to everyone U.S. & International! 💄💋❤️ ENTER HERE! Now, let’s get started on the look!

This is what i came up with..

I had so much fun creating and really personalizing this look, and i think you all will too! The best part is that the colors and design is pretty much completely up to you, besides the staples like: the nose, the smile, the eyes. I added a traditional spider web to my forehead, some pretty rhinestone embellishments in certain areas of my face, the flower to my chin etc..

Here’s what was used!

So here i have my usual MALLY shadow base/primer, some hydrating face primer, DUO eyelash glue for my falsies and face embellishments, my usual foundation & concealer and some halloween makeup kits (an injury stackable i used the black for intense shadowing, and a day of the dead halloween kit) I honestly knew i was taking a gamble with the color set that came with the Day Of The Dead kit, they didn’t look like they were going to be nearly as pigmented as they should and they WEREN’T. So, i ended up using a plain ole’ eyeshadow palette, that happened to be very very cheap ($1.50 USD) but extremely good quality as you can see! “Waterworld” L.A. Colors. I applied my MALLY base shadow everywhere you see shadow around my eyes, and just used liquid foundation for the other parts of my face that had eyeshadow on them to help it stick really well. 🙌 But i DID end up using the sponge to sharpen lines and the eyeliner pencil the Sugar Skull kit came with. 👍

The key to this sugar skull look is the OMBRE & blending effect, a.k.a transitional shades of one color from dark to very light. It really made this look complete & pulled it together when i went in and really darkened the shadow areas and brightened the highlight areas. 🌺 Be very thorough when blending your colors out and don’t be afraid to add some black to darken things up or white/vice versa, it will give this look depth. If only it were Halloween TODAY haha, i am really happy with how this turned out. So: if you have a nice glide-on sharp black eyeliner pencil, bright eyeshadow palette/choices, some eyeshadow brushes, an injury kit with a true black shade and patience, you can transform yourself into a sweet sugar skull girl! 🍭💀

I hope this will inspire some of you to go ahead and try their own take of this! If you do i would LOVE to see your creations!!!😉 Thanks so much for reading hope you girls enjoyed! Please leave   thoughts & comments for me

Quick Review: L’Oreal Color Rich Lip Color Sticks!

Hello beautiful ladies! Just thought i would try to get something posted for you all today to read, and i’ve come across a pretty awesome lip product!  So awesome, that i’ve included one in my Oct giveaway! So let’s check them out:

These sleek looking lip “sticks” by L’Oreal come in velvety matte (Le Matte) or irresistibly glossy (La Lacque)! Either way you go, you are going to have an EXTREMELY smooth and silky application experience! They are so soft and hydrating to the lip you will never leave the house without one of these, not to mention the small pointed tip makes for super on point accuracy when lining, then simply fill in the rest! No need for lip liner 🙂 But you can if you want to of course.

Here are some lovely swatches i’ve done for you! As you can see the Matte is very very matte and looks so luxurious and velvety on the skin, and the gloss one has a beautiful moisturized healthy-looking shine…

 (Left: Matte-R Of Fact/Right: Choco-Lacque)

Matte-R Of Fact is a stunning deeper berry purple/raspberry. Definitely a beautiful color for fall 🙂 Choco-Lacque is the most gorgeous true nude/rose shade, it is one of my favorite lip colors right now. These both would look wonderful on any skin tone. ❤

Here they are applied on my actual lips:

These are truly a GREAT lip product. Silky, smooth, long lasting color.. what more could a girl want?:) I definitely recommend trying one of these guys, and one of you is gonna win one in my giveaway regardless! My favorite formula has to be the Le Matte sticks. Purchase one HERE. Enter my October Giveaway HERE!

Hope you enjoyed yourselves and thanks for reading loves! Thoughts & comments please 🙂 ❤
