Review: Covergirl TruNaked Roses Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF Stars,

I'm here to give you my thoughts and swatches of the new Covergirl TruNaked Roses eyeshadow palette. If you have not seen my post/youtube video about winning this palette which does not change how I feel about the product. Even if it was free I always give you my options good or bad. So let get into this palette.

front of palette

I really like the packaging it not to bulk or cheap feeling. I heard people wanting a mirror but for me it does not matter because I usually don't use them.

back of palette

I'm happy to see that they gave names to the eyeshadows but I wish they put on the front or next to each eyeshadow. 

Inside of palette

It says on the back you can use them wet or dry for a more dramatic look which is nice to know. You also get  6.5 g of eyeshadows. 

If you like to see them swatched live:

There is a nice mix of textures in this palette which make it easy to create a nice wearable eye look. In the pan Almond, Baby and Copper Rose look like they have hit of shimmer but when swatched you can barely see it.

Swatches of the first four eyeshadows (no primers)

Champagne and baby are really light but a base can help it and it says you can wet it which also would help them and the other glittery eyeshadows like Mousse.

Swatches of the last four eyeshadows (no primers)

All them have a nice formula in that they soft and creamy which makes them very blend able. They do not blend away or get muddy which is nice. If you love rose color eyeshadows you might want to check them out. I really like them and for around $10-$12 depending on which store is a really good price. I might have the other two in this line. Also check out the first eye look using this palette.

First Eye Look: Covergirl Trunaked Roses

Hello MJF Stars,

I have a first look using the Covergirl TruNaked eyeshadow palette in Roses.

Products I used:

Sephora perfecting eye primer

Avon Big Color Eye Pencil Vanilla

Covergirl trunaked Roses Eyeshadow palette :

Copper Rose: crease

Rose Gold: lid

Champagne: inner corner eyelid

Mousse: outer v

Almond: brow bone

Klean colors Hardcore liquid eyeliner black

Covergirl Plumpify Bastpro very Black Mascara

I was so excited that I won this palette because I was not sure on these new covergirl trunaked palettes. I was so impressed with these eyeshadows they are so pretty and soft. They need a sticky base to get the best of these colors. So I used Vanilla that does not change the colors because its a nude color close to my eyelid color. I'm really happy how this eye look came out.

I hope you enjoyed this first eye look using the Covergirl trunuked Roses palette.

Review: Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadows

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

Since I have been enjoyed using these Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder eyeshadows. I thought I would do a review of the ones I got so far.

09 Bella Navy (Satin Matte), 20 Bella Silver (Metallic), and 10 Bella Gray (Satin Matte)

14 Bella Violet (Shimmer), 21 Bella Teal (Metallic), and 25 Bella Cobalt (Satin Matte)

I really love the gold package its looks so fancy and pretty. You get a lot of product in each container which is .05 oz/1.4 g.

09 Bella Navy (Satin Matte), 20 Bella Silver (Metallic), and 10 Bella Gray (Satin Matte)

I really love the navy is a pretty dark base with blue shimmer in it. The silver i a pretty glittery sliver. The gray is also so pretty too. They are very pigment as you can see after I swatched on my had there also still on my fingers.

14 Bella Violet (Shimmer), 21 Bella Teal (Metallic), and 25 Bella Cobalt (Satin Matte)

The next three also very pretty and pigmented. Bella teal is a beautiful duo chrome color it a teal base with gold/green shimmer so pretty.

They are different to baked or powder eyeshadows. They have a creamy like texture at first and then smooth like a powder. Its like between a cream and powder in texture its really hard to described. They are so nice to work with because the blend like a dream and easy to build color dry or wet.

As you can tell I love all of the Bella eyes eyeshadows that got so far and need to get more of them. 

I joined the fan club of Bella eyes eyeshadows.

Are you a fan and which colors are you favorites?

I really love how this eye look came out and I also got a lot of complements on it.

I hope you had a nice St. Patrick's day.

With flash

No flash inside lighting

Products I used:

Loreal One Stop Base Coat

Sally Hansen Sugar Shimmer Mint Tint

Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

I picked Mint Tint because its pretty green mint color with pink/sliver glitter which make it a texture polish. I'm not big fan of textured polish but this one is so pretty I don't mind.

99 Cents Only Store Haul

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I have another 99 cents only haul to show you.

I picked up some things I needed and could not pass up.

I got Natureplex medicated anit-itch cream which is compared to gold bond which works good. I also got some Dr. Sheffield's clear zit. I found some studio art twist crayons to use in my YouTube/Blog note book. I also found some Girl Scouts lip smackers which I love the thin mint one I got before from 99 cents only and when I saw they had three pack. I could not pass it up. I got another silicone scraper which work really good and I though I could use this Easter one all year round.

The last thing I got was the LED lighted letter M which was $2.99 but it was still a good deal because most of them from other store are like $20.00 or more. I love it and posted an image on instagram of it on my wall if you want to see it.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my 99 cents only store haul.

Bikini Green, Feeling Lucky? And Gold Glitz Mani

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

Since today is St. Patrick's day I wanted to post a St. Patrick's day mani. 

I used a few nail polishes for this mani as you can see.

with flash inside lighting

flash with outside lighting

no flash and outside lighting

Products I used:

Revlon ColorStay Base Coat 

Klean Color 24 Bikini Green 

Sinful Colors Feeling Lucky? 

Milani 525 Gold Glitz

Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

I wanted to use Feeling Lucky? and that is would look pretty under Bikini Green. Also to go with the gold shamrock in Feeling Lucky? I chose to do a gold polish which I picked Gold Glitz. Gold Glitz is so pretty by itself but even better with the the combo of feeling lucky? and Bikini green. I think this manicure came out good and I really love it. The only think is the Gold Glitz chipped in two days which was a bummer but I think I will just touch it up because the rest of the mani is going strong.

I hope you enjoyed this St. Patrick's mani.

Happy St. Patrick's day and have fun but safe day.

San Diego Trip 2016: The shop Welks Resort,Tienda de reyes and Tokyo Central Hauls

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I have another San Diego trip hauls. This time the hauls are three different stores. So lets get into what I got right!?

We stay at the Welks Resort which was really nice and the had a little shop called The shop Welks Resort. So I decided to look around found this  Los Angeles licences plate mug $14.00 + 50%off . I thought is was cute and got it.

while we're at Old town Sand Diego I went in to Tienda de reyes and saw these cute Leather bracelets for $8.99.  This flower one was my favorite so I got it.

After visiting Old Town San Diego we were driving back to condo and I saw this store called Tokyo Central and had to check it out. They had a lot of cool japan items but they were pretty pricey but I find some things that was not to much. I found more of the Meiji hello panda in double choco flavor for $.98 each. I also saw the larger versions of these cookies in the picture below which I was temped to buy but bought the smaller ones because I bought enough of the from Daiso too. I also got these Naisture 15 min mask in fresh aloe, brightening arbutin and 2- elastic Q10 for $.98 each to try out.

9.1 oz Meiji Hello Panda

I hope you enjoyed my hauls and keep an eye out for the rest of my San Diego hauls to come.

San Diego Trip 2016

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I had really fun time in San Diego, Ca so I decided to do a YouTube video of where I went while I was in San Diego, Ca.

The two places I went was Old Town San Diego and San Diego Zoo.

I really enjoyed both and would recommend both for any age. Old town had good gift shops and good Mexican food. The Zoo is the biggest zoo I've been too and I did not have enough time to see everything in one day. There is a lot of walking too.

Here is Old Town San Diego web page: http://www.oldtownsandiego.org/
