REVIEW:
Product: 5/5
Quality: 3/5
Overall: 4/5
Price: $1 at Target or www.eyeslipsface.com

Other Colors it comes in:
-Butternut (I have)
-Pretty N' Pink
-Silver Lining
-Nouveau Neutrals
-Luxe
-Drama (I have)
-Ivy
-Matte Mauve
-Blue Moon

I want Ivy and I'm thinking of buying some of their cream eyeshadows too. I did a review on the Drama quad a while back so you can go check that out if you'd like.

What the E.L.F website states:
Luxuriously smooth, corn silk formula provides eyes with a neutral base and an awakened brightness. The formula blends into skin for a long lasting, beautiful effect. The 4 color quad allows for both natural and dramatic looks. Mirror in compact included.

My Thoughts:
I love love love love love this quad! I use the two darker colors more often because the other two don't show up very well... but I guess that's good for school. I tried to use the light yellowish color as a highlight, but I can't stand shimmery highlighters. I also don't like shimmery eyeshadow and prefer matte eyeshadow anyday, but the farthest color isn't too shimmery for a wearable everyday color. I use to wear it everyday, but realized it was a bit too dark so I stopped. But I have hit pan on that tan color... shows how much I've used it! Flecks of eyeshadow do fly out whenever I dip the brush into a color but it's only $1 so what can you expect. Go try these quads!!! You won't regret. I wish they did come out with more quads though.

Maybelline Superstay Lipcolor

I hoped you all watched my latest youtube video and liked it =). I usually don't make videos, but there were too many things to take pictures of it all. So my spring break ends today and I'm super sad =(. I don't want to go back to school yet! Only a month and a half before summer! The posts will start to diminish again, but hopefully I won't stop all together. I'll try to write a few today and post them sparingly. The final stretch before summer! Got any summer plans?

Directions:
Apply the liquid color to your clean, bare lips. Then it’s two minutes to perfection! Remember to allow a full two minutes to dry, then apply ultra-conditioning balm to seal in softness. Reapply balm as needed. Remove with gentle Maybelline New York Superaway Lipcolor Remover.

What the Maybelline website states:

• Flexible formula moves with your lips for no caking or flaking
• Ultra-conditioning, refillable balm seals in softness for all-day comfort
• Golden Shimmer Balm refillable topcoat available for extra dazzle on any color
• Superaway Lipcolor Remover with Vitamin E gently removes all traces of long wear lipcolor
• Lasts up to 16 hours
  

My Thoughts:
This product is okay... not the best in the world. I've had it for maybe 6 months and I've had to toss it already because it started to smell weird. The original scent is like a watermelon scent which I loved. The staying power is definitely there, but it dries out my lips soooo much. The balm that is supposed to be put over the lipcolor sucks too. I had to use my own chapstick to moisturize my lips. Definitely not ultra-conditioning... The color I bought is Plum which is like a deep pinky plum color; gorgeous. Their color selection isn't too bad, but like most drugstore brands, there isn't much to choose from. I wouldn't buy this again and don't reccomend it.

Collective Haul!!!

NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil - Hot Red

So there will be a haul video up tomorrow because I don't have time to do it today.
Anyways, I've only used this lip pencil twice because it's really really red; not appropriate for school or casual occasions.

Other notes:
It is a wooden lip pencil so it must be sharpened. Because of its jumbo size, it might be hard to find a sharpener big enough but I use the NYC sharpener because it fits both jumbo and regular sized pencils.

My Thoughts:
The texture is amazingly creamy and smooth. It glides on so nicely and evenly too. Since I've only used this twice (Halloween and another time I forget), I've been happy with this product. I think that if you apply it with a lip brush it gives you a lighter shade of the red which looks better on me. I don't like the bright red or dark red that it can be built up to be. I think that this is a wonderful product and cheap too! It has a great color selection but sometimes the swatches on websites can be deceiving. I'd go to Ulta to swatch the colors and then buy them from cherryculture.com because it's cheaper. I recommend this product to everyone!

Ulta Eyeshadow - Love

I went to Ross and Macy's today and I bought two sets of headbands from Ross. They are super super cute! At Macy's I tested out the Juicy Couture and Vera Wang Princess perfume. I think I'm going to buy the Juicy Couture one because I've been eyeing it for the longest time... and my Mom hasn't bought me a birthday gift yet =). But it is expensive... *sigh*. I'm going to do a haul blog or maybe I'll make a video tomorrow.

So I bought this eyeshadow last year; sometime in October. Yeah... pretty long! It was a bad decision of color because pinks don't look that wonderful on me so I don't use this color very often. Maybe I'll try doing a look with this and some purples.

According to the Ulta Website:
Accentuate your eyes with a superfine talc eyeshadow that is long-lasting, creaseproof, and fadeproof.
My Thoughts:
Ummm... I don't hate it but I don't love it either. I think I don't like it as much because I chose the wrong color for me. If I had chosen a color I would wear more often, like a lighter pink or something (as a highlight) then I would like it more. Other than that, the pigmentation isn't all that wonderful either. It does blend out smoothly which is always a plus. I don't know that there is much more to say... except it doesn't crease even without a base but it does fade. So overall it is pretty much an okay eyeshadow. I am definitely going to buy another color to see if I like it better next time I go to Ulta. There isn't one close to my house so I don't go that often. If you have any questions please e-mail me!
