Bare Minerals Eyeshadow Review (Mint)

Today I'm going to do a review on a Bare Minerals eyeshadow in the color Mint. I got this when I went on vacation and I adored the color when I saw it, it's just so pretty. I think this has pretty good lasting power. I have other eyeshadows from Bare Minerals and they are always very nice quality. I do wish however that this particular color was more pigmented like the others, it's such a pretty color and it just shows up so light and it seems I can only build the color up so much before it won't get any darker. I know this is a light shade, so I don't expect super dark color, but I do wish the color showed up just slightly better for me. I'm considering getting a white primer to see if that will let the color show through more, if I do that, I'll let you guys know how it works out! :)

NOTD Black and white

Today I thought I'd do a nails of the day post, I don't do these super often cause I'm not that great at doing my nails,  but I like doing them when I create a look I wanna share with you guys :) On my nails: White polish from Simple Pleasures  Sally Hansen Insta-dri Fast Dry Nail Color in 'Night Flight'

How to make your lips look fuller (video version)

Hey guys,  I also filmed a video version of Mondays post, so I just wanted to share that with you guys if you prefer videos. I'm still learning this whole filming and editing thing, so hopefully you guys like it :)

Trick to make your lips look fuller

(If this is your photo or you know who it belongs to please let me know and I will give you or them credit for it) So while browsing Pinterest the other day I came across this photo. At first I was like "hmm that's interesting, but I doubt it works". Nonetheless I pinned it to try out later. Well I tried it, and IT ACTUALLY WORKS you guys!! Here is a before and after so you guys can see the results. I used my Nyx lip liner pencil ( review ) in Earth Tone and my NYC lippin large lip plumper to create this look.

HealthySexyHair Soy Renewal Oil Review

I got this a couple months ago, so today I decided to review it. I actually like this quite a bit, I ha e a few different anti-frizz products at the moment and this is the one I've been reaching for the most. I really like how it makes my hair feel, it makes it very soft and a little goes a long way. It also doesn't have too strong of a scent. However, lately my hair has been very uncooperative,  even with products that previously worked, so what happens for me is that this makes my hair look really smooth at first, then a few minutes later, it's like my hair soaks all the product up and gets frizzy again, but it's still better than using nothing. (As far as my hair getting so frizzy I'm working on trying different shampoos and conditioners as well as leave in conditioner for that, I'll let you guys know of anything works!) Now it also claims to help your hair dry faster, I'm not 100% sure exactly how much faster mine dries, cause I tend to put it ...

Nyx Lipliner Pencil Review

Today I decided to review the Nyx Lip Liner Pencil, this is something I got as a freebie when I ordered my Lippies and Adorable Pallette. Personally,  I'm not a huge fan of this particular one,  it isn't in a color that works for my skin tone. I even tried it as a eyeliner and just didn't like the color on my skin. However, that's not to say I would never purchase one in a different color, I think if this were in a color I chose that worked for me, I'd probably quite like it, because quality wise it seems nice.

This or That Tag

What's that Makeup For?-- Eye Liner

Now when I did the first part, I was creating a look, but there were certain products I didn't use in that look that I still wanted to cover. In the particular photo I've chosen for this I don't know EXACTLY which products I've used because it's older, but I'll list what types of makeup I have on as well as I can. So today I thought I'd continue my "What's that Makeup For?" series with Eyeliner. Eyeliner is for basically exactly what the name sounds like, lining your eyes. You can use it to make your eyes look bigger or smaller or to make a look more dramatic (as I've done in this photo). It comes in multiple colors, although the most used color is probably black, followed up by brown, white, or skin toned. By using a white or skin toned eyeliner on the inner rim of your eye (do with cation) , you can make your eyes look more bright and awake. Eyeliner also comes in a few different forms, Pencil, Liquid, and gel. Personally I thin...
