Khroma Beauty Makeup Look

 

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and got to spend time with family/friends!

For Christmas one of my friends got me the Khroma Beauty Shebang Quick Transformation Set, I was so so happy because I really wanted to try this line and I just pretty much love anything Kardashian lol. If you don't know Khroma Beauty is the Kardashian beauty line which is a drug store line. Here is a makeup look with the set and I will post a review in a few days.

My Back To MAC Freebie - Hang Up Lipstick Review

If you don't already know MAC now has a program called Back To Me where you can return 6 empty products back to a MAC counter, MAC store or online and you will get the choice to pick a free lipstick, lip gloss or eye shadow. When I found this out I actually had a few empty stuff that I need to throw out, so it was great that I found this out before I toss them in the trash.

 

I've been searching on the MAC site for a nice wine shade lipstick for the fall and when I went to back Michelle the lady that helped me out recommend this colour and I fell in love once I tried this one

 

 

 

 

Review

I've been searching on the MAC site for a nice wine shade lipstick for the fall/winter season and when I went to MAC Michelle the lady that helped me out recommend this colour and I fell in love once I tried this on. I think it's a beauty it's not to red and it's not to purple it's just the perfect blend. You can also build it up and apply more if you wish for this shade to be darker, Hang Up is  described by MAC as a deep berry with a cremesheen finish. So far I have only tried two cremesheen lipsticks from MAC so far cremesheen is my favourite type of finish from them. I feel the cremesheen gives a little creamy texture and a bit of a shiny finish to the lipstick when you put it on and it goes on smooth. 

 

 

Price

18.00 CAD

Candy Cane & Reindeer Nails

 

So I just finished this nail look and I decided to do I post on it since I haven't done a nail post in awhile and thought maybe someone might want to try this look out for Christmas or the Holidays.

 

This is a candy cane and reindeer look I got the idea from WAH Nails instagram I saw a picture of reindeer nails and I thought to myself that is so cute and then I also wanted to add something too it so I decided to go with a candy cane design on my other nails and paint one hand green and one red.

 

 

Products Used

OPI Nail Envy Base Coat

Nicole By OPI Kardashian Kolor Khloe Had A Little Lam Lam
Nicole By OPI Kardashian Kolor Hard Kourt Fashionista
Nicole By OPI I Stop For Nicole

Nail Art Pen White

Nail Art Pen Black

 

 

How To

Step 1. Once you have applied your base coat and what ever colours you wish to paint your nails, once they are done drying your next step is to create the reindeer. Take a brown polish and create a half circle shape starting from the tip of your nail and sweeping the brush along the nail to create a half circle shape.

 

Step 2. Taking a black polish that comes with a thin brush or using a toothpick draw antlers. I made mine by drawing a straight line and then making little short lines at the top of the antler and side.

 

Step 3. This part is simple using the brush just dot on eyes, you can't see mines well as the brown polish I used is very dark but they are there. Once that is done do the same with the red polish in the center tip of the nail to create a nose.

 

Step 4. For the candy cane using white polish with a thin brush run the brush across your nails to create the white strips and your DONE. Just let it dry for a few minutes and apply top coat.

 

I hope you all enjoyed this Holiday nail design!

Beauty Blender Vs Beauty Blender Dupe/Review

Almost a month ago I got the Beauty Blender and I have been testing it out and seeing how it come pares to the Beauty Blender dupe that I have.

 

 

I'm not going to go into detail about what is a beauty blender because if your into beauty then who doesn't know what a beauty blender is lol. I'm just going to share with you my review on both products.

 

 

Beauty Blender

The Beauty Blender is soft and easy to squeeze. I like that its shaped some what like a cone, round pointed at the top and round at the bottom. To use the beauty blender you do have to run it under water and it will expand and get bigger, I like this feature because it gives you more coverage. It has a round pointed tip and it's soft and gets into corner of my eyes and nose. Also is great to use with Ben Nye Banana Powder or any other setting powder. The Beauty Blender can also be purchased with a Beauty Blender Cleanser I think the cleanser is great it cleans well and can also be used to clean your makeup brushes too. However I hate the smell of the Beauty Blender Cleanser to me it's the worst smell of a beauty product I have ever smelled.

 

Price

$20.00 CAD (Imats is were I purchased the Beauty Blender with the cleanser)

$26.00 CAD (Beauty Blender @ Sephora)

$44.00 CAD ( with Beauty Blender Cleanser & one Beauty Blender @ Sephora)

$50.00 CAD (with Beauty Blender Cleanser & two Beauty Blenders @ Sephora)

 

 

 

 

Beauty Blender Dupe

The beauty Blender Dupe has a more pointed tip then the original, but its not as soft. I do find compare to the Beauty Blender I do like the softness of the original Beauty Blender because it feel better on your skin. Over all the texture of the dupe is not as soft and the Beauty Blender. I like the shape of the dupe but it really doesn't make holding it any easier then the Beauty Blender, but it pretty much give the same results in makeup application as the Beauty Blender. 

 

Price

I'm not sure how much my dupe was because a friend bought it for me but looking around online I would say for sure you can buy one for under $15.00 CAD

 

 

Overall

I would the only real difference I think there is, is the softness of the blenders. I like both of them I really only bought the Beauty Blender at Imats because I was looking to buy the cleansers for my dupe, which they only had cleanser that were available with the Beauty Blender. I would say if softness really matters to you then buy the beauty blender but if it doesn't save some money and buy the dupe.

 

 

 

Have you tried the Beauty Blender or any dupes?

 

 

 

 

 



Eve Pearl HD Dual Foundation Review

If you read my Imats post then you know this is one of the items I picked up at the trade show, I wanted to get there Salmon Concealer but it was all sold out so I got there foundation instead.

 

 

About The Product

 

The texture is versatile for full, medium or sheer coverage. Color combination of the foundation will adjust to skin needs, helps create natural looking contours and highlights as it adjust to the changes in your skin tone due to the weather such as sun exposure. Eve Pearl HD Foundation is also paraben free, petrolatum free, fragrance free, cruelty free and water free. Comes in Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, Dark and Deep.

 

 

Review

 

Eve Pearl HD Dual Foundation comes with two shade, I use the light shade for the center part of my face and the darker shade on the outer part of my face which I don't do a lot because I don't usually wear a lot of foundation so mostly I use the darker shade to contour my nose and forehead.

 

When I first open the foundation I noticed that there were little spots in the foundation and at first I was like did I get a bad one, but the spots are there because the product is a anhydrous product meaning it's made without water, like balms and ointments. It's a natural product the spots don't effect the foundation at all.

 

The foundation does have a creamy texture and goes on well, its easy to blend out with a brush or sponge. But I like using my stippling brush to blend it out. But I have found that up close it doesn't blend too well on my nose but that could be because I have large pores and my skin is kind of dry in that area. For people who don't like fragrance products this is fragrance free although I think it kind of smells like play dough which I actually like lol. The one bad thing I have to say is that I don't think is comes with enough product, I have already hit pan on both shades now and it looks as if the pan is around 1/2 inch deep. So that is disappointing for the price you would be paying. The picture below shows how thick the pan is.

 

 

Price

 

Eve Pearl HD Dual Foundation $56.00 US

($38.00CAD this is the price I paid at Imats)

 

 

Overall

I would buy this again but not for $56.00 I would wait until it's on sale or next time stock up at Imats.

I would pay $56.00 however if they made the pan deeper then around 1/2 inch and there was more product.

 

 

Have you tried any Eve Pearl products?
