Products I used:

Revlon Colorstay Base Coat 

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

Wet N Wild Megalast Taking The Red-eye

Milani Diamond Dazzle 

Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat 

I wanted to do a peppermint themed mani since I love peppermint everything during the Holidays. So I decided to do a squish mani with red and white nail polishes. I used Snow Me White as a base color for the both Snow Me White and Taking The Red-eye. I had some trouble with the red bleeding on the white on some of nails as you see. So I found that if you squish it and not move around too much it does not bleed. I'm still happy how the mani came out. I also had to added some iridescent glitter to make it look like sugar. 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

Italian Leather Mani

Hello my MJF stars,

I'm here with another mani for Manicure Mondays. So lets see what I wore on my nails this time.

Outside lighting with flash

Products I used:

Revlon Colorstay Base Coat 

Revlon Parfumerie Italian Leather

Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat 

I been wanting to wear a dark gray polish for a while now so I dug around and found Italian leather which is dark brown tone gray with gold shimmer in it. I thought it might look pretty on the nails since it a fall/winter color. It has a really good formula but I wish the shimmer was like it was looking in the bottle. Also I was not able to get the shimmer in the pictures which is a bummer. Its way prettier in person. If you don't like perfume nail polish you will not like this one its pretty strong but it does not bug me. I kinda like the smell. I think this color is perfect for fall/ winter and for woman that don't want something bright to wear in a office setting. I will be wearing this nail polish again but may be with a glitter topper.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani and Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Fourth Eye Look: Tarte Make Believe in Yourself Palette

Hello my MJF stars,

I have another eye look using Tarte Make believe in yourself palette that I love. So let's get into what I created this time.

Products I used:

Nyc City proof 24hr eye primer

NYX jumbo eye pencil cottage cheese

Believe: center eyelid and lower lash

Crystal: inner, outer v eyelid, crease and lower lash

I thought I would do a halo eye look since I have not done one in a while. I used cottage cheese as a base for Believe to stick to and so it would show up since its a highlighter and its sheer. I put Crystal in crease and inner outer v of the eyelid. I used Brulee on my brow bone and to blend out edges of Crystal. I really like how this eye look came out. I can't wait to create another eye look with this palette.

Products I used:

Revlon Colorstay base coat

Kleancolor 5 Black

Milani Quick Dry Top Coat

As you can see I did another squish mani. This time I used Moonlit woods which is a silvery purple color with Black. I really like how this mani came out. I really like Moonlit woods its a unique color in that its a pretty metallic purple that I don't have anything in my collection like it. Its also scented which does not matter to me. If you don't scented polishes than this one is not for you. If you don't care about scents then you should pick up this polish.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani for Manicure Mondays.

Since the NYX palette has a lot of colors that remind me of fall/ winter. I decidedto do a fall type of look. I used #3 in crease and outer v which is a pretty color. I put #1 on eye lid which a pretty shimmery cream color. I used #10 blend out edges of #3. I then put #6 to deepen the outer v. I really loved how this eye look came out. It says fall to me and I would not just wear in fall. I would wear it any time.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this eye look.

Products I used:

Milani Base Coat 

China Glaze Gothic Lolita 

Wet N Wild Fast Dry Ebony Hates Chris

Jordana Quick Dry Topcoat

I love Gothic Lolita from China Glaze which is my favorite polishes I own from China Glaze. If you have not notice that I do wear it a lot. I thought it would be a perfect with a black polish so I used Ebony Hates Chris from Wet N Wild. This combo reminds me the Haunted Mansion wall paper that is purple and black. I really loved how this mani came out and was bummed that I forgot to take more pictures of it in the sun light. I probably will wear this combo again because I was so bummed to remove it.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

Third Halloween Eye Look: Ariel Costume

Hello MJF stars,

I'm here to show you my last Halloween Eye look and costume. I'm so sad Halloween is over because I had so much fun doing Halloween eye looks and wearing cool wigs. This year I was Ariel (The Little Mermaid). I always wanted to be Ariel and finally I dressed up as her on Halloween.  So lets get into how I created this look.

Eyes:

Jordana Eyeshadow base eye primer 

NYX glitter primer: lid

Tarte make believe in yourself eye & cheek palette

Myth: crease

Crystal: lid

Wet N Wild single eyeshadow Brulee: brow bone 

Makeup Revolution Ghost Lights Vivid Baked Highlighter: inner corner eyelid

L.A Colors Grafix eyeliner Black 

Rimmel london soft kohl eyeliner pencil pure white

Covergirl lashblast volume mascara Very Black 

Eylure volume n°101

For Ariel eye look I thought I would a neutral eye look with some shimmer. So I used Tarte Make Believe in yourself palette since I love that palette and thought it would work for what I was thinking of for the eye look. I used Myth in the crease to deepen with out glitter. I used NYX glitter primer on the lid to get the most glitter to stay on the lid and made the glitter pop even more than just on the primer. I put Ghost lights in the inner corner of the lid to open my eye even more. I put the pure white eyeliner on the water line to give a more cartoon look. I did a wing like always and put some lashes that look like something Ariel would wear.

Closeup of full face makeup

Face: 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation 100 ivory

L.A Girl Pro Conceal Classic Ivory

Wet N Wild  Photofocus Pressed Powder Neutral Beige

Makeup Revolution Ghost Lights Vivid Baked Highlighter 

Makeup Revolution Contour Palette

Tarte Amazonian clay 12 hour blush paaarty 

Lips: Jemma Kidd classic lip colour lipstick 07 Siren

Costume: 

I wore the Long wavy wig from Walmart which I think is a perfect Ariel hair. I bought this tank top from Walmart on sale and I posted it on blog. I printed out picture of Ariel seashell bra and drew it little bit bigger on some felt that I cut out to make it the right size. I used double sided tape and taped it on my tank top. I wore some Green Mermaid leggings from Amazon which was about $12. I wore flip flops since I did not have any mermaid looking shoes. It was little cold for a tank top so I had wear a sweater as you can see. I did not have time to take a better picture of my costume but I think you can see it in this pic. I think my costume came out to be around $28 which is not to bad. I will probably use the wig and leggings again for a different costume.

I think my costume came out pretty good. I wish I had more time because I wanted to decorate the felt but ran out of time. I might have to be Ariel next year too lol probably not but I'm happy how my costume came out.

I hope you had a great Halloween. Also let me know what you dress up as? because I would love to hear from my MJF stars.
