They will be having promotions to keep a lookout either on my blog or facebook page to take advantage of their deals.

Now! On to the review on La Girl Glazed lip gloss

I got home from work and was super excited when I got this package because I really wanted to see what all the hype was about these lip glosses!

So here is my take on them I would rate them a 4/5...not bad right! Totally worth the money and I want to get all the colors now...yikes

Pros:

-The colors are amazing and they just launched a whole bunch of new ones
-They smell minty
-Not sticky
-VERY good pigmentation
-Only $3.25 on ladymoss.com (compared to the too face melted lip colors which are almost $25)

Cons:

-Not really that long lasting (but they do stain your lips a bit)
-VERY glossy! (I mean more than I am usually okay with)

The picture below is without flash the colors are:

Top: Pin Up and Hot Mess

Bottom: Blushing, Coy and Bombshell

Happy Sunday Everyone!


I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend...or whats left of it :P I just wanted to make a quick blog post on these amazing finds that I picked up at Pharma Plus!

Naturally I went to Pharma Plus to get one thing and walked out with six! I mean they always have these good deals that you just can not bypass. So here goes a review and a mini comparison for you lovely nail polish junkies.

Maybelline Brocades limited edition nail polish from (left to right)

Lavishly Lilac, Silver Swank, Ruby Refined, Beaming Blue, and  Emerald Elegance
I do apologize the swatches are not in sync but you can pretty much make out the colors

I would rate these polishes a hardrock 5/5 mind you, they are tiny bottle but they have amazing color pay off. All the swatches are only one coat!!!

Pros:

-I paid 0.97 cents PER BOTTLE! I mean that's a steal on its own

- The brush is nice and big so you can paint your nails quickly with a few strokes

- The color payoff is amazing

- Really quick Dry time

Cons:

-The bottles are labelled limited edition so I do not know if you guys will be able to find them by the time this blog goes up :(

Now I want to talk about this Revlon Nail Polish that I got with really high hopes! 

I mean in the bottle the glitter looks amazing but I needed to paint my nail with 3 coats to get this much coverage however if you look at my swatch....you can still my bare nail peeking through

All in all if you do get a chance do head out and get the Maybelline Brocades nail polish you will NOT be disappointed! 

Until my next post

Toodles!

Hey Everyone!


My gosh its been so long since I last got a change to blog about anything. However its hard to juggle two jobs and manage married life PLUS blog....pat on the back for people who can.


Anywho I wont bore you with my stories because I have a special review for you today. I went to LA back in January and while I was there I stopped by at Macy's. The representative that was helping me in the makeup section had the most beautiful violet lipstick on so I asked her what she was wearing on her lips. The representative told me she was wearing the new Too Faced cosmetics melted violet lipstick and....OMG I wanted to get them all!


They were actually sold out at Macy's so off I went telling my husband I HAD TO no matter what go to Sephora at times square to try and see if they had any. I managed to get my hands on three colours that I felt that I would actually wear which are melted nude, melted fuchsia, and melted violet.

Pros:


-They have the most pigmented colours EVER!
-Not sticky at all and glide on SOOO smooth on the lips
- The applicator is convenient and easy to quickly put on
-the packaging overall is very small and easy to throw in any bag
-a little goes a long way (VERY pigmented you only need a tiny amount)


Cons:


-Not very affordable they are $25 each
-they can bleed so you might need a lipliner (I always use a lipliner with lip products to be on the safe side)
-The melted nude is not long wearing at all (the darker colours did last a good 4 hours before I needed to touch them up but that was because I filled my lips halfway with lipliner)


Overall I would rate this product a 3/5

Hey everyone,

Sorry for being a little missing in action! Ive just been really busy with tonnes of work. I hope your keeping up with my facebook page to see the wonderful beauties that I have been working with :) if not the link is here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Makeup-by-HK/251331084954099?ref=hl make sure you like and follow.

Now I wanted to do a review on a couple of AMAZING lipsticks that I have come across. Lately I have been melting and potting majority of my lipsticks to keep in a palette to save some space. While I was doing this I realized that I was missing a few colours that I wanted in my kit. So off I went to shop for some new lipsticks. My first stop was Walmart because I heard there was a sale on a Revlon lipsticks however when I got there I discovered these amazing Wet and Wild lipsticks (thanks to my sister in law Yousra)

 

The colors that I picked up were Just Peachy, Think Pink, Mauve Outta Here, and Vamp It Up. I have some swatches below the first picture is with flash and the second is without in natural lighting.

Overall I would rate these lipsticks a 4 out of 5. The darker colors have a really long lasting power they will come off but still manage to stain your lips for a really long time. The lighter colors are kind of less likely to last a longer period of time. The finish is VERY matte ( I love this) however some people may find that as a Con. Another positive about these lipsticks are the price. At Walmart I paid $2.75 for each lipstick!! I was super pleased that for the price the quality of the lipstick was not compromised.

All in all I would recommend these lipsticks they are dupes for so many Mac lipsticks that sell for $18. Ladies do yourself a favor and grab these for your kit or even for yourself :)

Stay tuned for my next review it will be on a new Mascara im trying out....

Until then Be safe and happy lipstick shopping :D
