Wet & Wild Palettes

Another post before I go to bed, I bought the Wet and Wild palettes in I believe Greed and Vanity, and I must say a good buy for $4.99, I usually don't buy drug store makeup, but I was very impressed on these. They are very pigmented as you can tell from the pictures below, I am really getting into matte colors more. If you want some cheap eyeshadow that give good color payoff, get to your local CVS, Duane Reade and pick these up, I also picked up their new hodiday palettes, but I didn't try them yet once I do I will put some pictures up. Until next time, night, night ladies.

















Sleek Makeup

My girlfriend went to London this past summer and I gave her some funds to finally pick me up some Sleek Makeup. I know most of you heard of them, if you haven't you must try them out, there shadows are mineralized that come in a sleek small palette, easy to carry around. The pigmentation on these shadows are amazing, some of them can be a little grainy (if that is a word) LOL, and they do have alot of fallout, but besides those 2 cons these are great shadows.

I also have from them their face contour kit, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, and 2 of the blushes. Here is a look I did using the shadows I hope you like, let me know what you think, I don't know what I used on my lips but I need to figure it out, I love it, LOL

You can also check out girl at Welcome2divasworld on youtube she uses them alot.






Quick Hello

Hello Guys

I know, I know its been a longggggggg time since I posted something. I've taken plenty of pictures but no time to put them on my blog, and just pure laziness. So for the new year I will try my best to post something at least once or twice a week. I am trying to do so many thing for the new year, I will be starting back school to finish getting my Bachelors its time a sister is not getting any younger, LOL. Need to start working out to get these pounds off my ass, hahahahahaha, and just taking care of myself, eating right enough with the junk. Food is the devil I tell you.....

So I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas, its snowing hard in NYC right now and I am not ready to face it tomorrow to go to work, so everyone stay safe. Below is a few pictures of some different looks, take care...

The pictures with the yellow is Canary Yellow from MAC PRO.

Fabulous Feline Review


Hey Guys

I have a review for you the Fabulous Feline. I went to the PRO store last Thursday to check out the new collection, I didn't get any of the quads, you can find a dupe for all the colors unless you don't have a lot of MAC shadows then yes you should get at least one. I was so excited to get the liner because when I swatched them on my hand they went on very smooth. Soooo I bought all of them except the black, I got 2 lipglosses and 1 blush. Got home ready to try these babies on, I was very, very disappointed once I tried them on my eyes. They are very watery and some of the colors did not show up. Out of all of them that I got I am keeping 3, the gold, silver, and the blue those were the only decent ones. This collection overall is not all that, I give it a 5 out of 10. I wasn't impressed. If you are interested the collection launches in stores this Thursday, so check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks

Stereo Rose

Ladies
I had a hard time getting this damn MSF, it was sold out within hours of the premier. At first I wasn't going to get it, but I kept hearing all this hype about it, so being the addict that I am, I had to get it. Now I called like 15 stores yesterday and they were all sold out. :-((, not a happy camper. So I went to 42nd Street anyway to get some more of the new Mineralize e/s, love, love, love them. Now I called this store yesterday as well, so I am there and this wonderful MUA name Diva was helping me, and I mentioned that I wanted Stereo Rose and every where was sold out. Why she said she was holding one for herself and said that I can have it, I was doing cart wheels in my mind, I couldn't believe she did that for me, I thanked her so much. Now that is what you call customer service. This MSF is very pigmented, I put it on today, and had to rub some of it off. But ladies sometimes you get some nasty people, but there are times when you get the nicest person and you want to always go back to them to give them that sale. I hate going to 42nd St, to many damn tourist for me, but I will go definately go there just to see Ms. Diva.

Talk to you beautiful ladies later..

LookBoutique@DuaneReade

Hey Guys

I am back I finally got a new camera, and I am using my 11 year old daughters lap top, still have a virus on my desktop, I am ready to dash it in the garbage. Trying to get an Apple computer this time around. Anywho I was browsing Temptalia page and she had a post about an e/s from Becca called Shangtung, as many of you know Sephora used to sell Becca, I wish they didn't get rid of it. So being the makeup addict that I am, LOL I went searching to see where its being sold, and come to find out they have a new beauty section in some Duane Reade stores that sells Becca, so you know I went calling to find a location. After work I went straight to 42nd Street, Grand Central in NYC.

OMG!!!!! It was a beautiful section that sells Becca, POP, Vera Moore, Pur Minerals, and a few others that I never heard of but they were nice. My mouth hit the floor who knew DR was getting so upscale. Got in the damn store didn't have the color e/s I was pissed, but I've always wanted to try Pur Minerals after hearing about it from MakeupbyRenRen, and Queen of Blending, I ended up getting the Start Now kit that has 4 pieces for $37.00 not bad at all, it has a Press Mineral Foundation which is a 4-in-1, Mineral Glow, Universal Marble Powder, and a Chisel Brush. Now the bigger size foundation was $23.00 so I opted to get the kit, which is a way better deal, just smaller size products.

So I will be trying this out for you guys and I will let you know what I think about it since I am getting into the mineral powder foundations. Below is a picture of what I got. Talk to you guys soon.

Mineral Powder Foundation

Hi Guys



Pray for me to continue to post on a regular basis, LOL.. As you may know I love liquid or cream foundations, but it has been so hot that I am trying not to wear so much foundation in this heat, I don't want to melt, LOL... I usually don't like to use mineral powder foundation, because it makes me look ashy and it just doesn't look right. I've bought from MAC, Prescriptives which I ended up returning, and this brand called Bella from ATL, which was the worse still have the damn thing just sitting there. So about 2 months ago I asked for a sample of the mineral powder from MAC, and decided to use it yesterday. And would you know I LOVE IT!!!!!! I think I was probably putting it on wrong and not buffing it in enough. I used the SS197 brush from Sigma (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that brush) I have to get like 3 more. I think I found a new love in mineral powder, LOL. Can you guys suggest any other brands I should use besides MAC, Prescriptive done went out of business :((

Talk to you guys soon
