E.L.F Waterproof Eye-Liner Pen

After seeing that this product was on the "Best Sellers" list on Elf, I decided to order a few.

I purchased Midnight, Plum, Coffee and of course black. I was not interested in the Ash shade.

My pens worked well for a few uses and then began to  disappoint me several times.

After only maybe 2-3 uses, the colors did not appear to be vibrant anymore. The blue doesn't look blue and the purple is not vibrant at all. The black has to be layered on in order to achieve any true darkness. 

In addition to the poor color, my pens dried out very quickly. The pen itself looks dry and damaged even though I did nothing to damage them.

I am not sure why this product is raved about on the site. Maybe I just had bad luck. Or maybe people are just too excited about being able to get a felt tip eye-liner pen (which are usually pricey) for only $1. Either way, I would not recommended this product to anyone. It is absurd to only get a few uses out of a product, no matter what the cost is.

I hope that E.L.F does not disappoint in the future. 

Last Sacrifice

For anyone who likes vampires (like me) and loves to read, I just thought that I would suggest that you read Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead. Last Sacrifice is the sixth book in the popular Vampire Academy Series so of course I would have to say that you need to read the first five books first. Last Sacrifice concludes the story-line for the main characters but will be followed by a new Vampire Academy Series that begins this summer.

Anyways, this is one of my favorite series. If you enjoy young adult vampire series, you should definitely check this out and let me know what you think of it.

I thought i would show some pictures because I love the cover for this book.

Ulta Pallets

As you may know, Ulta offers their own line of makeup which includes large pallets and many mini pallets as well.

Sadly,  I have not had the best of luck with the bigger pallets but I do enjoy the smaller ones which seem to be higher quality. 

This is the first pallet that I have from ulta and I love it. It includes 8 colors which compliment each other very well. The colors have decent pigmentation. They are not matte but they only have a slight shimmer.

This is my second pallet by Ulta. It is bigger than my first pallet. It includes 12 eye shadow shades and 12 lip gloss shades. The sad thing about this pallet is that the glosses are ruined due to fall-out from the shadows. The colors in this pallet are gorgeous as well and I love them.

In my opinion, these Ulta pallets are almost as good as Sephora's brand pallets and they are cheaper. I received these pallets for about $10 a piece which is a good price considering how long the last.

E.L.F 100 Color Pallet Review

I was so excited when I got this pallet. I hate ordering offline but I was able to get this from Target back before Christmas. I had been wanting it for quite some time and it still only cost me $10 in the store.

This is one of the most raved about items on the site so I had to check at out.

This pallet, like any other, has its downfalls. Some of the colors have amazing pigmentation while other's do not.

The greens and blue shades seem to be fine and very pretty. I receive many compliments when I use them. One thing I love about this pallet is the huge selection of neutral colors. I love neutral colors and I use them all the time. Their the first colors that I always run out of so I was happy to see that this pallet contained so many.

The packaging is cute but not the best. I like the sleek design but after having this in my bathroom the outside was all marked up. The packaging doesn't matter that much. It does not affect the product but I just wanted to state the packaging is cheap.

Now lets move on to the colors. I LOVE the colors. This pallet has many matte colors and the colors that aren't matte are nice and shimmer. There is only one shadow that is very glittery which is a green shade. Although I prefer matte shades, the shimmer one's are nice. They are not too over the top and the work very well paired by themselves or with a matte color. The sizes of the shadows are pretty large although I am not sure how deep they are.

Overall, I would recommended this pallet. It has many colors that my other pallets do not contain. The colors are very bright (you can't even tell from this picture.) And even though not all the colors are amazing, you still get many that are good, especially for the price. Sadly, Target no longer carry this item, but you can find it on eyeslipsface.com.

Goodluck! :) 

Twilight Woods

I am in love with Bath and Body Works and one of their new scents which is Twilight Woods. Not only do I love the name of the scent, the smell it's is gorgeous and long lasting. Because of this, I decided to pick up a bottle of room spray in Twilight Woods during the Black Friday.

I have tried many room sprays,candles and even oils but Bath and Body works carries some of the best kinds.

All you need is one tiny spray of this to make an entire room smell amazing.

How to Hide Bad Bangs

If you did not already know this, I am on a very tight budget. Because of this, I cut my own hair. I do this because I hate going to a over priced salon and sometimes not even getting the cut that I wanted.

Sadly, you are bound to mess up occasionally.

I gave myself a bad layer and bad bangs back in December and am now waiting for it to grow it.

If you ever have bad bangs do not cut it shorter to try to make it look better. This will not help. You will have hurt yourself even more because you will have to wait even longer for the hair to grow out. Instead go to a store ( I personally love Claire's) and purchase a few clips. Using the clips to pin the bangs to the side and decorate your hair. It is most likely that people will be too busy complimenting your clips to notice your hair. 

Nail Polishes!

I figured I would show a picture of some of my polishes.

This is only a small amount of what I have. I tend to keep my more expensive/favorites/recently used polishes in this little basket which is super cute. I also threw so many out when I moved which was a huge mistake. I am hoping to get a big collection again
