Review: L.A Girl Pro Conceal HD high definition concealer


Hello my MJF followers/friends,
I'm here to do a review on these LA Girls pro concealer that I bought a while ago. I got two colors to try out because its hard for me to find the right shade to conceal my under eye circles.

Top: Natural and bottom: Classic Ivory

Top with no flash and bottom with flash
The two colors I got was Classic Ivory which is more pink in tone and Natural is more yellow in tone. I used both under my eyes and both of them looks fine with my skin tone. I think classic ivory is more my skin tone but a little bit brighter. I have not tried them to conceal blemishes but it does conceal my rosacea that I have on my cheeks. It blends really nicely in my skin and does not show my dry spots on my cheeks, if I happen to have some. I did have it crease under my eyes but I don't know if its the powder I using or the concealer. I do have problems with concealers crease under my eyes. I might have to do an update on if its the concealers or the powder because I just bought some new powders to try.

I really like these concleaners and will propably buy them again.

Thanks fo stopping bye and I hope this review helps you.

Amazon Haul 4/14/16

Hello my MJF Stars,
I'm here with a haul from amazon. Last week my brother got free prime from amazon so I took the advantage and order two things.
I have been wanting to replace my rope lights that I have around my bed for some thing with less power. 
I've been wanting to get some led star light so I found these:

Image from Amazon
They had only 2 left for $5.67 so I ordered both of them.


AttaBoy 33ft 50 Led Christmas Fairy String Lights for home
If you like to see me open my boxes and plug them in check out my video:

I used my Amazon gift card that I won from Crowed Tap so I only had to pay for one and some tax.
The only thing is that the first string is missing two stars which is a bummer but I'm not going to return it. I'll just fix it so you can't tell or put it where I can't see it. I think for that price I can live with it. I saw similar ones that are around $20.00.

I will be posting the before and after of the lights when I changed them.

Radiant Orchid and Night Owl Mani

Hello my MJF Stars,
I'm here with another mani for Manicure Mondays.
I have been wanting to wear night owl since I bought it and never got around to it so in this mani I did.

no flash with outside lighting

Products I used:
Revlon ColorStay Base Coat
L.a. colors color craze Radiant Orchid
Sinful Colors Night Owl
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

I though Radiant Orchid would be a good pairing and base for Night owl. Radiant Orchid is so pretty by itself with its micro shimmer in a cream lavender base. I think Nigh owl gives it an extra glitter goodness and I love how they look together.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks Manicure.

Big Lots Haul

Hello my MJF Stars,
I have another haul but this time its from Big Lots which I love. I went on the 20% off day they have once and a while. So I found few things I wanted to try and could not pass up.


I was looking at the left over Easter and saw this cute Lighted Easter Decor Marquee Bunny that was $12.00 then with the Easter discount it was $6.00 then with the 20% off it was $4.80. It was a deal and I love it. If you don't know me you don't know I use to be in 4-H and raise Rabbits so I love bunnys and miss having them. I also looked at the left over St. Patrick's day stuff also and when I saw these St. Patrick's Day socks that was $3.00 then with the St. Patrick's Day discount were $.30 then 20% off they was $.24 each (White Lucky Socks, Green Shamrock, Argyle). You know I love socks and could not pass them up. It was a deal and I love green. I also saw these Epielle Charcoal nose strips for $2.00 with 20% off were $1.80 each. I love Epielle brand and never tried these. They look like the ones I got from daiso which I really like and hope these are as good. I also decided to try the other types of the Epielle makeup towelettes that I love so much. So I got the Epielle Night Time Soothing Makeup remover towelettes 30 count and Epielle Original Clean facial cleaning towelettes 36 count they are $2.50  and with 20% off were $2.00 each. They are a $1.50 more than the other ones I usually get in this brand so I get back to you if these are better or not good as the ones I usually buy, The last thing I got was Sinful Colors Flake Out that was $1.95 and with 20% off was $1.56.


I also did a video on this haul which is below if you like to see it close up.

Eye Look/Mini Review: E.l.f smudge pot Cruisin Chic

Hello my MJF Stars (followers/friends),
I have a eye look and mini review of the E.l.f smudge pot for you in Cruisin Chic.


Products I used:
E.l.f eyelid primer sheer
E.l.f smudge pot cruisin chic
Jordana Cateye Liner Black Leather

I wanted to use this e.l.f smudge pot in cruisin chic so I decided to do a simple everyday quick eye look to see if it would hold up. I did use a primer so I don't know how it will last with out. I used the e.l.f primer so you can see it with out a base with primer. It looks o pretty and happy to say it did not crease or wear off while I wore it. I think it would be great for a fast eye look when you don't have time to do a full glam eye look. Also the primer makes a nice brow bone hightlight with out using a another product with the smudge pot. I think $3.00 is a good price for this product and I just found a few other colors at dollar tree and will be doing a review in future.  So if you see them at dollar tree pick them up you might like them or at target.

I hope you enjoyed this eye look and mini review.

Avon Haul

Hello my MJF Stars(followers/friends),
I have a really old Avon haul to show you. In this haul I only got two items which was given to me as a gift from my mom.


The two items I got was a Ideal Luminous blush in Warm Flush and Be Blushed Cheek in Mandarin Glow which is a cream blush.

Here is them swatched on my hand no primer:




I never tried the Avon Ideal Luminous blush. As of right now the Avon Ideal Luminous blush is on sale for $4.99 which a really good price.  Warm Flush is soft peachy pink color with some shimmer. It says that its a sheer blush that is build able which is nice and also that its soft and silky as well as long wearing. I totally agree with the description of the texture its so nice. I can't wait to try it.

The Avon Be Blushed Cheek says it could be worn on the cheeks as well as the lips so I swatched it on my lips below:


I also never tried the Avon Be Blushed Cheek Colors either. Avon clams that it a moisturizing cream blush that glides on easily with out being streaky and blend able. It will give you dewy finish for a sun kissed natural look. Also apply to lips for a hit of color.  The Avon Be Blushed Cheek Colors in Mandarlin Glow is $8.00 right now. It a pretty color but I did not like as a lip color so I will be trying it on my cheeks. It will be perfect for summer so I have not used it yet.

I hope you enjoyed my Avon haul.

Electric! and Shattered Mani

Hello my MJF Stars,
I have another mani for Manicure Mondays.
This weeks I wanted to use Shattered and thought Electric would go perfect together. 

with flash and outside lighting

no flash and outside lighting
Products I used:
Revlon ColorStay Base Coat 
Pure Ice Electric!
L.a Colors Color craze Shattered
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

When I started to paint my nails with Electric it was goopy and thick. I then looked at the bottle that I just bought at Big lots. I saw that little less than half was gone so it looks like it leaked out which was bummer because it was pretty color and I was not going to return it. So I used nail polish thinner and it fixed it. So check your nail polishes that you get from big lots just saying. I might have to buy another one because its so pretty. Its a black with sliver glitter so pretty. It looks even better with Shattered as you can see. I'm really happy with this mani.

I hope to enjoyed this weeks Manicure Monday.

Second Eye Look: Covergirl TruNaked Roses

Hello my MJF Stars,
I have another eye look using the Covergirl TruNaked Roses eyeshadow palette.
I wanted to use the other colors in the palette that I did not use in the last eye look so this the result of that.


Products I used:
Nyc City Proof eye primer Universal 
Covergirl Trunaked Roses Eyeshadow palette :
Champagne- eyelid and inner corner and bottom lash
Copper Rose- outer v and crease also on bottom lash
Baby- above crease to blend edges
Almond- brow bone highlight 
Mousse- outer v and little bit in crease blended with Copper Rose to its not to harsh.
Klean Color Hardcore liquid eyeliner black 
Covergirl Plumpify Bastpro very Black Mascara 

This time I just used the NYC primer instead of using a primer and a base like I did last time. Even though I did not use I base it still looked pretty good. There was more fall out I think this time or it just that I did not use a base. I wanted to do a softer look and used two different eyeshadows in my crease. I hope you can see in the photo it was so pretty in that I used baby to blend the edges of copper rose which is so pretty by itself but it even better with baby. I'm really happy how this eye look came out but next time I might try to use them wet it might help the eyeshadows to have less fall out we will see. 

I hope you enjoyed this eye look.
