Mini Nail Polish Haul!

So, I picked up a couple nail polishes last night at Target!
When I only went to buy deodorant, cotton balls, &nail polish remover! -.- 
Lol, I know. I have a problem....Anywaaaay! haha
Here they are...

Sinful Colors-Cream Pink $1.99

3 Coats/No topcoat added

Not sheer, but not super thick.

Color becomes truer by the 3rd coat.

Milani-Diamond Dazzle $3.99

3 coats/No topcoat added

Very sheer, yet noticeable.

I would use this on top of nail polishes to give a glitzy effect.

Milani-Gems $3.99

3 coats/No topcoat added

Chunky glitter, yet lays nicely.

Also would use this on top of a nail polish for a confetti effect.

Wet&Wild (Wild Shine) - Metallica $1.49

3 Coats/No topcoat added

True to its color. It represents its name well.

Wet&Wild (Wild Shine) - Night Prowl $1.49

3 Coats/No topcoat added

 Super sheer. 

But, once you add 3 coats, it's gorgeous!

&I these are my Nails Of The Week!

I used Cotton Candy by Sation as my base,

&Milani's Diamond Dazzle on top!

The pink dots are Sinful Colors-Cream Pink

Hope you enjoyed!

Until next time...

E.O.T.D. #1

After a whole week of wearing NO makeup,

This is my go-to look when I feel like wearing 
something on my lids!;)

Lets Talk Eyeliner!

I've been on a hunt for the perfect eyeliner...

&As a makeup artist, I've searched..&searched...&searched -_-

I have tried A LOT of diff. brands...cheap &expensive.

At last, my search has come to an end!!!

For $3dollars, E.L.F.'s Cream Eyeliner lines perfectly!

It is as black as black should be!

(I usually apply this after my eyeshadow application, 

and before applying lashes/as a base for my eyeshadows)

Can you guess which swatch belongs to what eyeliner?

TOP: Urban Decay: 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil (zero) $18

BOTTOM: Milani LIQUIF’EYE Metallic Eyeliner Pencil (Black) $6.49

The left is the Urban Decay &The Right is Milani!

Yes, the darker one IS cheaper!

(I use this to rim my eyes/smudge under my eyes) 

Lesson of today: Expensive products aren't ALWAYS better!

Hope this was helpful! 

Until next time!
