Love it or Leave #7

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!

Love it or Leave it #6

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
