Review: Facebomb Cosmetics

So I had won a contest a while back and i got some products from Facebomb cosmetics. I going to be trying different layouts to see which would be the best way to do review so bare with me:)
Facbomb cosmetics sells mineral makeup and you can buy their products on esty.com! Their eyeshadows run $4 each and shipping in the U.S is 2.50 and .50 with another item. You can add her facebook for any specials going on.

Quality: The products are really good quality, the e/s are easy to blend, and the colors i recieved were very purrtyy and vibrant.
Shipping: The shipping was fast and none of the products werent ruined, they were well wrapped so that is always a plus.
Customer Service: The owner is really nice and if i had any questions she was able to answer them:)
Packaging: well the packaging want really anything special but since i got one eyeshadow and the rest was in baggies that she could have nice packaging if you order, but mine just had the name of the eyeshadow. Her business card was really cute with the logo on it though:)
Overall i recommend this company and really have no complaints. If you havent tried them out than you should give them a try!

These are the eyeshadows that i had received:)

Review: HazelDoll Boutique

This is my review on hazeldoll boutique after i had the items for weeks now. I still do like some of the items i like. The items i did recieve when i was a promoter was 6 items of jewelry. 2 earrings (snake and leopard earrings) and 4 necklaces (lipstick, 2 brass knuckles, and a westcoast necklace). I like my earrings and lipstick necklace. I didnt like the brass knuckles neckalce and westcoast one. The gold brass knuckles necklace chain was too small seems like it was made for a little kid so i cant where it. both brass necklaces were really small and isnt worth for the price. the westcoast isnt my style at all that is why i dont like that one. i do like everything else, but the leopard stud earrings seemd like they are not as good quality since i piece of the back broke off. but my favorite are the snake earrings and lipstick necklace. It was fast shipping since she only lived 2 cities away from me. The packaging was good too.

Review: Longwear Lipsticks/ Lipstains

So I am going to do a review on longwear/ lip stains. I have 1 longwear lipstick and 2 lipstains. All of them are from MAC.
So the longwear which is called Perpetual and it is a red color. This is from MAC's prolongwear collection that is been out for awhile now and they are permanent colors. This is not a stain lipstick though so i have ate with it on and some of the lipstick did come off but my lips still looked like really pigmented with the color. Eventually you probably would have to reapply but I would recommend this for people with dry lips because its really smooth and creamy.Mac has other colors also. Below is a picture of what the longwear lipstick looks like. I really overall like the pro longwear lipsticks and they have so many other colors and for the people who dont like lipstains than this would be the next best thing for you.

So the next products I have are lipstains. The colors I have are Night Rose and Femme Forever. They are very similar colors. Night rose is like a pink mauve color and Femme Forever is like this shiny pink color.

Here are what the colors look like. Its in like a lipgloss tube but is dry like a lipstick and it also comes with either clear or glitter gloss if you want to add some shine to the color. So these lipstains will last ALL DAY long. If you are looking for a lipstick that you wont have to reapply than this is the lipstain for you. For me I personally dont like lipstains because i have dry lips so when i apply this than it drys it out more but lipstains are meant to dry your lips so the product can sync into your lips. I even tried to use makeup wipes and I had to really rub my lips to get the product off. This is a great product for the right person. I would not recommend this to people who have dry lips. They do have other colors if you do not like these colors and I do believe drugstore companies have lipstains also. Overall the product does exactly what it is suppose to do.

 First picture is using the Femme Forever Lipstain. Second Picture is me using Night Rose Lipstain

 Here is what they look on my hand next to each other Left: Femme Forever, Right: Night Rose

 The next picture is what the prolongwear looks like swatched.

Overall the products are very pigmented and depending on your preference the longwear or lipstain would be your best option especially when you want to go out on the town or to dinner without wanted to reapply your lipstick. I hope you all enjoyed this review. Feel Free to comment below if you have any comments or questions about these products.

Mac: Lipsticks

So I have always been in love in lipglosses and i just recently been into lipsticks. At first i didnt like lipsticks because you had to reapply and they felt dry to me. I am getting into lipsticks right now and the lipsticks I have are from mac. My favorite finishes are Cremesheen and Amplified. The lipstick that i use the most is Cremecup Lipstick. Here are pictures of my Mac lipstick collection.

So the lipsticks that I have are Up the Amp, Cremecup, Something New, Infused with Glam and Perpectual.
Something New Lipstick is a bright pink and that came out with the Stylishly Yours Collection so it was limited edition. And Perpectual which is the Red lipstick is from the Pro Longwear lipsticks which is suppose to last 8hours. It isnt a lipstain because the color does come off but it is so pigmented that you dont really need to reapply unless you rubbed it off.
I recently also back to mac Pink Noveau Lipstick that i really like. And i do also have Hibiscus lipstick from Surf baby.

Haul: Surf Baby Collection

So i went to Mac when the new surf baby collection came out. I new even before the collection came out that i wanted My Paradise Cheek Powder, Hibiscus Lipstick and Strange Potion Lipglass. I went the day after the collection was released. So I was so upset that they sold My Paradise Powder the day it came out. So I ended up getting Hibiscus Lipstick and Summer Stash Crush Metallic Pigments. I heard some negative things about the Pigments like it works only if you use your fingers but I absolutely love them. I use a brush and it works great for me. I ended up calling macy's where my bf lives which is an hour away from me and they had the My paradise powder. yay. So he picked it up for me and i love the powder. A week later I decided I wanted something else from the collection so I got Surf The Ocean Metallic pigment stack and i love that one too. I am very pleased with my purchase. I use the Hibiscus Lipstick almost everyday and if they still have it online at MAC than i think i need to buy a backup asap. I did want the Guilty Bronze bronzing stick but decided not to get it.
Here are pictures of what i got:

 This is what I got from the collection. I love everything.

 Here is what the Surf the Ocean Stack looks like.

Review: RockABetty Beauty Cosmetics

I have bought some products from Rockabetty beauty also known as RABB. So these items were not sent to me for free. I got 10 (3gram) jars of random eyeshadows fro $20 and free shipping using a code. I had never used used any e/s from this company before so it was so hard to pick eyeshadows so thank goodness she had that deal going on and i think that deal is still going on.
I found Rabb cosmetics on facebook and ordered from them on esty.com They owner makes her own eyeshadows and sells them. She is very nice and has great customer service:)
Now i got a variety of diferent colors and one sample. Here are the colors i got:

I have tried every color except pandora. The colors are so gorgeous and very pigmented and i recommend that you use the e/s wet because the colors come out so much more sparkly and and vibrant. The quality of the e/s are very good and they are so easy to blend and work with. I really recommend you try out some of these colors. My favorite e/s has to most definitly be Maneater which is the sample. I do have one thing that i do not like. The sample doesnt have a twist off cap, so you have to snap it open and close, so when I do snap it close I do see that the some of the product flys out so you are actually using product. So i do prefer the twist off packaging. Besides that I think this is a great company that has great products at a wonderful price. The shipping was very fast, got to my house in two days which is a plus.

Colorful Mask

I did this makeup look for a makeup contest. This is the first mask that i have ever done. I used all eyeshadows from bf-beauties pallette and nyx jumbo pencils and glitters from nyx. This can be worn for a masquerade party or for Halloween. 

When I got into Makeup

So i am currently 19 years of age and i first started really getting into makeup when i was about 16years of age and now a have a good collection of makeup. Most of my makeup is MAC but i am venturing out and wanting to see what else is out there. My goal is to become a makeup artist and soon i will sign up to go to the makeup academy which i researched and just seems like a great school. they are located in los angeles and dublin. I basically got started because I wanted to be able to do makeup on myself and not have other people do makeup on me. My aunt was the one that got me into it. She just use to do her makeup pretty good and i wanted to be able to do mine that good. So i started practicing and i fell in love with it. The greatest thing for me is to get so many compliments on the looks i do from regular people to the artists from MAC. I have done makeup on friends before also and soon I will be able to create a makeup kit so i can do freelance makeup. This is blog is kinda just to get to know me a little better. I will be posting looks that i created, reviews, and tips!
