NYX Loose pearl eye shadow review & a new lipgloss !

At Ulta a few weeks they had NYX cosmetics at Buy one get one 50% off  and I really wanted to try their yellow corrector concealer but everything else that had I already had or didn't interest me but I really really wanted something for half off. I seen the loose pearl eye shadows at $3.00...but with the current sale it would have made it $1.50 so I thought I could try a loose shadow since I've never used one, I've been on a gold kick so what better time to try a gold shimmer shadow !

NYX Ultra Pearl loose eyeshadow in Mink - $2.99 @ Ulta

I just tap a little onto my hand, and really a little goes a long way !
 
I've been applying it with my small E.L.F. smudge brush $1.00 @ Target !
 
I just tap it out and out until I get the amount I want or coverage I need.
Today I used it across my lids with a brown crease color and then an off white creamy high light. It was beautiful ! I have not been using a primer with this and it still looks amazing on and last a while. After about 10 hours I do notice creasing but really 10 hours that's a long time! But I'm sure if I used a primer it would last longer. To say I am in love with this product is an understatement ! I will be buying more of these on my next trip to Ulta !
 
My New Lip Gloss !
 
NYC Liquid Lipshine in Brighton Beach Peach - $1.97
 

 
I have been looking for an orangey - peachy - coral colored gloss everywhere !!
Its a pretty color once applied , I really don't like the applicator but I can over look that and its a tad sticky but if I apply chapstick before hand I don't notice the sticky as much . I like this a lot for under $2 and will probably buy more of these, they did have a lot of colors to choose from.

Ulta, Target, & Ross Haul



Had a girls morning and played in the make-up at Ulta then went over to Target to pick up some things I was wanting to try and then I found a new brush at Ross finally ! I bought a new foundation and its not in a bottle or pump...wahh! We shall see and I needed new eye brushes yay for ELF umm and a brow bar finally !!! And I needed a new hair brush but really was not wanting to spend $20 on one...that just seems crazy to me! I've had this ELF eye shadow palette in my online checkout bag for ever it seems and I was like umm I don't want to pay shipping until I find a few more items to add to the basket but then I get into Target and its there so now its mine (: can't wait to play in these and see how they turn out.

Too Faced - Natural Eye Collection - $36
 
At Ulta I came across this eye shadow palette but I really didn't want to spend $36 on the whole thing when I only wanted two colors *Honey Pot - um the MOST beautiful gold shadow ever , its perfect and *Push Up - I would wear that as a crease color everyday !!! But I checked the single eye shadows in store at Ulta and they didn't have those colors so I'm on an online hunt for them because I really have to have them !!!
*Update* I checked the Too Face website & they don't have it in a single shade by itself that I could find but I did find it in a duo with cocoa puff (that's the brown right next to honey pot) and I could see myself using CP too so I think that's what I'm going to go with ! And these colors were really nice so I may go ahead & buy the whole palette?! Also the ELF eye palette that I bought today for ($6!!!!) has an exact dupe for the Honey Pot color...which I discovered after I got home and actually swatched some of the colors so then again maybe I will get on ELF's website & see if I can find it. Wahh so many choices !

Beating the Heat !

I recently purchased this bottle of magic online from Ulta. I've seen several YouTube vlogs where they finish their make up with a "setting spray" so I decided I'd give it a try. So began the research on finding the one right for me. A lot of the ones I looked into seemed a bit pricey and I really didn't want to spend the cash on something I've never tried before so that brought me to NYX Cosmetics . With the price tag of $7.99 ...a BARGIN compared to the others I had looked at running about $40.00+ for the same size bottle ! Once my jewel came in the mail I couldn't wait to apply a full face and spray away. The first week or two I was applying it and then heading to work and was aww like yayy it works then I got to thinking I really want to test this stuff out so the past two days I've been off work & Josh (fiancé) and I have taken the boat to the lake. Sun, water, sand, wind, heat & sweat. What a better way to test the working power of a finishing spray that promise to keep your full face on. So with full face applied and bikini on we were off to the lake ! Two days in a row of 5+ hours in the sun, on a boat fishing and tanning and even a little swimming and I still had a full face of make up to wash off in the shower ! So ladies and gentlemen this product is amazing ! I will be purchasing another bottle and they have a dewy finish so we will have to try that one. But the matte is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone ! It was great on the boat so I imagine it would be great for other summer outdoor activities BBQ's, baseball games, theme parks, hiking, biking...use it and let me know where you wore your NYX setting spray and how it worked for you!
