BEAUTY BLOGGER SERIES- FINAL CHAPTER

Hello there my beautiful friends! I am so excited for Monday! .... says no one ever. Just think in 5 days it will be Friday again! Anyway, today is the final chapter of the beauty blogger series! Today's topic was supposed to be your top 5 products of 2013 but I already did a post very similar not to long ago so I didn't want to be repeative. I decided to change it a bit and do my Holy Grail and Holy Fail of 2013. I hope Bethan doesn't mind.

       

    

    

sorry the pictures are slightly blurry, when exported from PixlrExpress, they lost the quality. 

                           Need to find a new editor, let me know if you have any  

This is my Holy Grail of 2013! Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded! I wore this almost every single day! The reason I have quite a bit left is because I only need a tiny bit of it and I didn't wear it throughout the summer and on weekends, but trust me it's been loved. I feel like I should throw it out but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I did have a swatch picture but I accidentally deleted it! If you can't tell it's a champagne color or a shimmery beige. It does crease if used alone but a primer will fix that mess up! It really does last a long time, a swatch on my hand lasted all day and even into the next with constant washings! This really is a holy grail! 

             

             

     

This is my Holy Fail of 2013! It's the Rimmel Glam'Eyes Quad Eyeshadow in #18 Romantic Cool. When you look at the palette, it looks gorgeous right? Nice, neutral colors. This palette would be great, if the colors actually showed up! If you look at the swatched your probably thinking: "those look like they have nice pigmentation." Well in swatches they do but as soon as you put it on your eye... Poof!.... Gone! The shadows are almost none existent. Number 3 shows up the most and Number 4 shows up the least. I tried to make a look with them but it didn't even show up, it looked like I had nothing on my eyes. This has to be the biggest fail I've tried all year! Really don't waste your money on this, you'll be left with nothing but disappointment, lost money and a shotty eyeshadow look. 

I hope you found this somewhat helpful and enjoyed reading it. I know my pictures aren't the best but I'm still trying to find a new picture editing app! There's is one week left till Blogmas starts so be prepared for loads of new posts! Thanks my loves! 

         What is your Holy Fail and Holy Grail of 2013? Any ideas for Blogmas posts?

Beauty Blogger Series- Favorite Nail Polish

         

       

Hello there my beautiful people! Happy Sunday.... not really, there is school and work tomorrow, boo. Sadly, today is not a Christmas post. No Sundays will have a Christmas post but every other day will. Today I will be doing my 3rd Beauty Blogger Series post. This week is nail polish, so I am sharing with you my favorite nail polish. Finally, it's not revlon! Let's get started

My favorite nail polish is China Glaze Ruby Pumps. It's a red, glittery color. It's a very Christmassy color which is mostly why it's my favorite right now. #noshame. It goes on evenly in two coats and lasts quite a long time without chipping. The formula isn't too thick or too thin, it goes on perfect. 

The brush is thin so if you have small nails it's perfect. It may take longer to paint your nails if they're larger but I would say its worth it. The brush doesn't streak the polish or take off the 

polish in spots. 

You may be thinking "but it has glitter won't it take forever to take off?" The answer is NO! This is super easy to take off! It comes off like regular nail polish. I was worried when I put it on that it would take so long to take off but I was pleasantly surprised. 

This nail polish is fun, glittery and classic. I definitely recommend you try this! 

What's your favorite nail polish? Have you ever tried this nail polish? Would you like to try this?

Beauty Blogger Series- Favorite Mascara!

Hello loves, it's Sunday! Today is my second post in the beauty blogger series! This week is mascara so I am going to share with you one of my favorite Mascaras. I just realized it's another Revlon product...oops! Well let's get on with it...

One of my many favorite mascaras is the Revlon Lash Potion by Grow Luscious. First off just look at that packaging. It's so colourful and potion-like. It's a pretty big tube, really long, but it's slim so it's not too bulky. The bottle shape is pretty simple, there's no weird bumps and anything. It's also a very metallic bottle which makes it more fancy in my opinion.

The brush is very long and big. If you have big eyes it would be absolutely amazing. I have pretty small eyes and I can still use this comfortably though. That's one of the big reasons why it's my favorite, you can use it on all eye shapes. If you have small eyes though you have to be a little more careful as it can get everywhere. This doesn't have plastic bristles so it gives a lot of volume. Plastic bristles give more separation and length. It is easy to get mascara on your lids so be careful.

The formula, I would say, is very wet so it can get clumpy but not bad at all. I rarely ever get clumps using this. It gives a lot of length, like a lot! It gives good volume too but not as much as other Mascaras. To get full impact you have to put on 2-3 layers but don't put too much as it can get spidery and you don't even have to curl your lashes before! It curls them for you, I don't know how. It feels kind of heavy on the lashes but nothing too annoying. 

One bad thing about this mascara is that it flakes and smudges a lot. It's really annoying but it can be fixed with mascara primer, a coating you put on your lashes which makes any mascara waterproof or put a waterproof mascara over it. 

This definitely one of my favorite mascaras! If you are in need of a new mascara I would really reccommend this and see how you like it. It's not too expensive, it's anywhere from $5 to $11 CAD. 

And remember on Friday the 15th I am starting my Christmas series so be on the lookout and on the 14th I am decorating my blog for Christmas! I may change something in the banner and add some Christmas details so look out for that also.

Thanks for reading my lovelies and hope you have a fabulous week! 

       What's your favorite mascara? Have you tried this mascara? What are your thoughts?

Beauty Blogger Series- Lipstick- Favorite Fall Lipstick

                               

                                

                                   

                                

          

Hello there my beautiful people. This is my first post in the beauty blogger series! This week is lipstick. I am going to share with you beauty's my favorite fall lip color. With fall comes dark lip colors and dry lips. Every year I have one lip color that is my must have and I wear it every day. This years must have lip color is by Revlon, its their super lustrous lipstick in Wine with Everything. 

It's a gorgeous red, I would say its a true red. It's a dark color even though in the tube it looks light. It's very pigmented, one swipe and you have a full red lip. It's a creme finish and lasts decently long. It's has a bit of shine but not too much that your lips look like a stop sign. This is the red that makes your teeth look whiter or at least mine. It's a perfect fall lip product, it's not drying and it doesn't feather. It's cheap at only 5 or 6 dollars which amazing for how good it is.

This would also be an amazing Christmas color. Personally I don't think this is a super bold unwearable color. I defininetly think it's appropriate for everyday wear but that all depends on the person. It doesn't even feel like your wearing anything in your lips which makes it even better because I don't want to feel like I have 10 pounds of lipstick on. If you could only buy one lipstick for fall/winter I definitely recommend this one if you like red. 

            What's your lip color must have for fall? Do you like dark reds, pink or purples more?
