Sassy and Oogie Boogie Mani

Hello my MJF followers,
Awhile ago I bought Funky Finger Oogie Boogie at five and below store in Va and tried to do a mani with it and hated it. So I put in a box and when I was reorganizing my collection and wanted to give it a try again so here the out come.

no flash outside lighting
Products I used:
Loreal One Stop Base Coat
Revlon 510 Sassy
Funky Fingers Oogie Boogie
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

I'm really happy that I did not give up on Oogie Boogie because its a really cool nail polish because it a green jelly with neon green mate glitter and it glows in the dark. It looks so pretty over Sassy. I might have to go through my old polishes that I hated and try something different like this polish. I really love Funky Fingers polishes and bummed that there is no five and below stores here in Ca.

Until next time,

Haul and Review: Disney Dare to Dream Ariel Beauty Book



Hello my MJF followers,
I was so excited to find the Disney Dare to Dream Ariel Beauty Book today at Walgreens for $10.00. I wanted to swatch it because one Ariel is my favorite Disney Princess and two its not made by e.l.f. I wanted to find out who made this new Dare to Dream collection that saw many people on instagram finding. There is also two other Disney Characters in this Disney Dare to Dream Collection which is Mulan and Pocahontas. This Walgreens only had Ariel which I was kinda bummed that I could not get the other two beauty books. Well lets get into the Ariel Beauty Book from the Dare to Dream Collection.

Cover of Beauty Book
I really love the water color art work of this beauty book. It reminds me of the Villains Beauty Books from a while ago that I loved.


Back of Beauty Book
I read the whole back of the beauty book and it does not say what company made this book. It says that is made in china and distributed by Walgreens.
I would love to know what makeup company made this beauty book.

Inside Of Beauty Book
This beauty book has 9 eyeshadow, 2 blush, Lipstick, eyeliner and a eyeshadow double ended applicator. This beauty book is similar to the other E.l.f beauty books but this one has a lipstick and not a lip gloss or lip color. It also has a miror like the e.l.f beauty books.

Get Ariels Look Guide


Just like the other E.l.f beauty books in the past this one also has a guide on how to apply the makeup which nice help you apply the makeup to create a Ariel look.

Close up of the Eyeshadows, Blushes, Lipsticks and Eyeliner pencil.



Swatches of Eyeshadows (no primer)
These eyeshows in this beauty book is different than in the E.l.f beauty books in that there is a mix of finishes and these a softer then the E.l.f. eyeshadows. There are mattes, satins, and glitter eyeshadow. The matte eyeshadows are Treasure and Oceanid. The satins are Gadgets, Gizmos and Dinglehopper and rest are glittery. They are all very pigmented and soft so you have to be careful because there will be a lot of fall out if you push to hard. 

Swatches of lipstick (What's a Fire?), Blush (Shell Spell and Coral Fixation) and Eyeliner (Jetsam Black)
The lipstick, blush and eyeliner are really nice too. I was really shocked on how bright and pigmented these blushes are with out any primers. I really like Shell Spell because is a coral pink with gold glitter which I thought its should be called coral fixation because Coral Fixation is more a bight pink blush with a little bit if shimmer in it. These two colors are not what I usually would wear but I might to try them. These blushes are way more pigmented than the e.l.f beauty books. The lipstick is a pretty pink with shimmer but it does not match the beauty guide which I'm kinda happy because this color might be more wearable than the red that is in the guide. The swatch above is swiped on my hand like 3 times so its a build able color which nice if you want a wash of color and not a bright pink lip.

I'm really happy that I picked this Disney Dare to Dream Ariel Beauty Book. I think this beauty book is for everyone because it has mattes and glitter eyeshadows and really nice blushs for $10.00. 
I can't wait to find the other two beauty books in the collection.

What do you think? Will you get one or all of the Disney Dare to Dream Beauty Books or any of the other beauty items in the Disney Dare to Dream Collection? Also does anyone know who is making the beauty books?

Until next time,
Mel

Review: E.l.f Disney Belle An Enchanted Tale Beauty Book

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to share my thoughts about the character added to E.l.f Disney beauty books is Belle from The Beauty and the Best. Its only sold at Walgeens and might be sold at walgreens.com or drugstore.com like the other one in the past. This book is called An Enchanted Tale beauty book and they are $12.99 each.

Cover Beauty Book
I love this cover its so the theme of The Beauty and The Best. I like the gold etched roses around the borders so pretty.

Back of Beauty Book

Here is the inside of the belle beauty book
In this beauty book there is a mirror like ones before. In this beauty book has seven eyeshadows, a blush and bronzer, two pencil eyeliners, lip color and a eyeshadow brush which is similar to other beauty books in the past.


under the mirror is a guide
This beauty book guide is similar to the Elsa beauty book in that they put the picture of belle makeup look which is nice to see and help you recreate on yourself.


Close up of the eyeshadows and Blush and Bronzer
Like the past beauty books the eyeshadows are named after characters from the movie. As you can see most of the colors in the book is brown/ taupe colors. 


As you can see these eyeshadows are very pigmented on there own with out primer. Also eyehsdows had little to no fall out which is nice. All of they eyeshadows are shimmer/satin except Gaston which is a velvet that is a matte with glitter. I wish they made Belle a gold/yellow color like her dress. The top colors are really similar in color. I would of lived with two but not three similar colors. The blush is a nice pink with glitter and the bronzer is a nice coco brown with glitter also. I tried using the eyeliner pencils before but not a fan. I would rather use there liquid eyeliner but its nice that it came with two colors black and brown that you can use on water line or bottom lash line. The lip color is nicer than there glosses which I hate. It a nice red/dark pink its color with pink shimmer and also named Rose on tube.

All in all I think E.l.f beauty books are getting better. 
If you like Belle, like shimmer, nude/taupe colors than you will love this beauty book.

Until next time,
Mel


Walgreens Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I here to show you a some Walgreens hauls that I been wanting to show you.
Since I heard that that Walgreens was getting another Disney Princess Collection in and this time it was Belle. So every time I would going in and not find the Belle Beauty book I found other things that I had to have of course so lets get into what I got.


In this trip I only found the Disney Belle lip balms and I was not going to get them because they were not made by E.l.f. They are made by Townley Girl which I never hear of before but the packaging was so cute I had to get two. The two I got was Pleasant Peach which has Mrs.Potts on it and Luminous Lemon which has Lumiere on it. They were $1.99 each. There ok but not great in my option. I think the ones from dollar tree are better like the profusion and l.a. colors. If you want more detailed review let me know. I also got a penguin bracelet by Trrtlz.com for $.75.


In this haul I found a new summer collection by Sinful Colors. I was going to wait for there $.99 sale they have at Walgreens but I could not wait and pick two polishes. I got Pink Ansen which is a pink version of Green Ocean which I love. Pink Ansen is a Iridescent Glitter in punchy pink. I also got Fuji Fuji which is Scintillating silver with Holographic glitter which I have nothing in my colletion like it. They were $1.99 each.


In this haul I finally would the Disney Belle E.l.f An Enchanted Tale Beauty Book. It was $12.99. I will be posting a review and eye look soon.


I went back to see if they had any sinful colors nail polishes I had to have because they are having the $.99 cents sale right now. I found two colors that I don't have and wanted from the summer collection. The colors I got was Mint Tropics is a mint cream and Sky Tree is a teal with blue glitter. When I first picked up Sky Tree it looked like something that I have in my collection but I figured if I had it. I would return it or give away but I'm happy to say I didn't but it look very close to Rise & Shine which I like. I might have to swatch them to see the difference because they look really close in the bottle.


The same day I went to another Walgreens to see if they had anything good in there clearance and I was surprised to find some Elsa items on sale because the other walgreens did not put there Disney stuff on sale. They had one beauty book but I already have one and this makeup bag. I could not pass it up because it was $2.49, say what lol. Ya I had to get it because it was $9.99.

I hope you enjoyed my walgreens hauls.

Until next time,
Mel

Pinchme Box

Hello my MJF followers,
I have another pinchme box from a while ago.


This box was small compared to other boxes I got before but I'm not complaining because I get this box for free. If you want know about pinchme look at my other posts or go to there web site. In this box I got a sample of Nivea shower body lotion which I've been wanting to try. I also got a sample of Gevalia house blend for my mom because she really likes this coffee. I also got another of the wine voucher which I'm not going to use because one you have order mover $100.00 in wine and two I don't dink. So if you can see the code you can use it because I'm not. So I only got two things in the box. I recently got a better box which made me happy from last month and will try post it soon.

Ulta Haul

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you an Ulta haul that was never posted so I decided that you might want to see it even thought I only got three of the same things lol.


A while ago I stopped in to Ulta and looked in there clearance and found three of the mini Orly polishes in the color Glow Stick which is a neon yellow. They were $.97 each. I got three because I figured three is almost the size as a full size bottle. The full size was not on sale it was $8.00 and for three it was $2.91 which is way cheaper. If I don't like this polish I can away give the other two away.

Well I hope you enjoyed seeing this little Ulta Haul.

Until next time,

Ross Collective Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you a big collective haul that been meaning to post for a while and kept add more to the post. I recently went to Ross and will be posting a new haul soon I hope. I feel like I'm really behind in posting hauls lately because I've been busy with other things in my life. So I'm trying to get caught up on my hauls. Also if you did not notice I've been updating my blog so it might look a little different. So into what I have bought at Ross.


A while go I picked up these Yankee Candles tea lights in the scent Island Cool which smell so good like pineapples and other island fruits. It was $3.99.


I also found these really cool Converts I had to have because they have a stars and studs and they where $29.99. I love these shoes.


I went with my dad to Ross and when I found these skull porcelain cups by Coventry, I had to get them because one they have skulls on them and they were not to expensive. They were $3.99 each.


In this haul I found the Frozen 16oz flip straw cup that I had to have because it had olaf on it and I love olaf. It was $4.99 and I love this cup. I also got a pair of Teva original sandal in the style lea dots for $12.99. I really love these sandals but I had to get a size bigger because they make them small but other than that they fit perfectly.


In this haul I found this only 9 shirt that has butterfly and studs on it for $6.99 I believe. I also found some mens marvel socks on markdown for $2.99.  They are little bit bigger than women but they still fit my feet.

Big Lots Haul

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you my big lots haul.



I went to big lots because I needed a few things and have not going to big lots for awhile. I'm happy I did because I found some things I had to have of course. I got a Soft lips lip protectant in the flavor berry mint which I really like and it just like the cube soft lips that I love. It was $1.00. I also got more of my makeup wipes I love by Epielle in citrus for a $1.00. I picked up some razors because I need more in the brand pacific. I really like these razors and I believe they were around 2 or 3 dollars. I found this laundry bag $2.80 and could not pass up buying it because that's a really good price and it much nicer than the ones from Dollar Tree. I also found this Sinful color nail polish in the color purple gleam that I could not pass up because its so pretty. I found out its a texture polish from the crystal crush collection which I don't really like but figured for $1.96 I could put a top coat on it.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my big lots haul.

Until next time,
Mel

Amethyst Eye Look

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you an eye look just using the Avon Eyeshadow pencil in Amethyst.


Products I used:
Avon Extra Lasting Eyeshadow Pencil Amethyst (on eyelid and bottom lash)
Jordana Color Envy Liquid Eyeliner Black Envy

I know this a simple eye look but I wanted to show how pretty Amethyst is and you don't have time or something quick. These Avon Extra Lasting Eyeshadow pencils are easy to used and blends out well and will not crease. I think this pencil looks like I used more than one eyeshadow. Right? I love these pencils and you can still get them from Avon on sale. I might have to get a few more before they are gone.

Until next time,
Mel

Amazon Green and Twinkle Toes-ty Mani

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show Amazon and Twinkle toes-ty mani that I wore.

with flash

no flash indoor lighting

Products used:
Loreal One Stop Base Coat
NYC In a new york color minute Amazon Green
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Twinkle Toes-ty
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

I was really happy with many until it dried because some how after putting top coat on it there was bubbles in the glitter layer which I hate so this mani did not last long in that It bugged me so much I took it of the next day. Other than that I really like the combo. I really like Amazon Green its a pretty frosty green color. Next time I will have to used makeup sponge method and see if it gets rid of bubbles.

Until next time,
Mel
