okay, I keep going MIA on this blog thing, but between my band, work, and school...
it's hard ! i feel like i never have time for anything i really want to do ..
but whatever, i'm back ! sitting under the dryer with curlers in my hair blogging
my little fingers away with a haulllllll haha yaaayyy =]
lets start with Mark cosmetics..
I got 2 i-glimmers in "Glammed" and in "Smoked"
these creme shadows are pretty pigmented.. i must say i'm a little impressed. the product is a tiny bit sheer, but very buildable and the color is pretty long lasting. they are a little slick.. but it's okay.. a slight wash of this set with a cute eyeshadow over it should last a good while without creasing.
Next, i got a shimmer cheekblossom
i haven't tried the product out yet so when i do i'll let you know how it wears..
its supposed to adjust itself to make the perfect natural cheek glow for your complexion.. don't know how truthful that is though.. the texture of it is kind of velvety and less shimmery than i would have thought. the size of the product is a bit smaller than i expected but whatever.
i got 2 shimmer tube gel blushes in "Pink Pearl" and "Peach Pearl"
got these about a dollar each! they were on the "last chance" list and for a buck
who could resist! ... i definitely should have though ! i haven't tried them to their
full potential yet, but from the look and feel of it, i may aswell be putting glitter gel
on my face! not nearly as pigmented as they were on the website and look full of shimmer..
but in reality they have next to none.
my last purchase from Mark was from their hair care line "salon straight"
its a heat defense spray for when you blow dry or flat iron or curl or anything having to
do with direct heat to your hair! ... i like it so far, really does the job! i like it so far..
the smell...ehhh not so much. kinda smells like perfumey deodorant ? i don't know. it's weird.
the smell doesn't stay on your hair though, thank goooodness !
Cosmetics from Target : Pixi eye palates and NP Set palate
i got the pixi palates in No.1 Smoldering and in No.2 Sensual Smoky Eyes
each of the pixi palates have 3 sub-sections of 4 shadows in each. giving it a total of 12 shadows
in each palate.. these colors are beautiful, easy to blend and beyond pigmented! the No.2 Sensual Smokey Eyes (i own 2 of the same palate.. don't ask) is always in my purse, the colors are so wearable and the palate is compact enough to fit in my makeup bag =]
the NP Set palate is full of 10 wearable shades, some frosty, some shimmery, none matte. different shades of nude golds and bronze shades along with a plummy color and a shimmery black. comes with a double ended sponge tip applicator [yuckoos!] very cute and pigmented.
i'm pleased with these! =]
From ELF i got a nail polish in
its a really cute "mauve" color, dries almost instantly no matter how many coats you have on and dries with a semi matte shine.
i also got a duo shadow cream in Berry Mix .. one side is a pearly lavender and the other a prune-ish color.
disclaimer: i bought all of these products with my own money, i am not endorsed by any of these companies. these are just my opinions.
I feel the same way. (Not about makeup, I don't know anything about makeup) but about having time for all the things I want to do. Perhaps that is why I am always running a million miles an hour trying to get it all done. But that is a good thing, it keeps you moving. Motion is life! Don't forget it!
