Puppy Love Eye Look : Too Faced Love Passionately Pretty Eye Shadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I usually don't post eye looks on Monday but I wanted to show you another eye look using the Too Faced Love palette that I been using a lot lately. This time I wanted to do an everyday eye look using Puppy Love as the star.


Products I used:
Nyc City Proof eye primer Universal
Too Faced Love Passionately Pretty Eye Shadow Collection:
Devotion: center of Eyelid
Puppy Love: crease and Eyelid
Smitten: Brow Bone
Maybelline Master Precise curvy liquid eyeliner black
W7 absolute lashes mascara Blackest Black

Like I said I wanted to use Puppy Love which is a pretty color which reminds me of Wet N Wild nutty.  I put it all over the lid and in the crease but I thought it was too dark and needed a lighter color on the center of the eyelid so I put Devotion on top of Puppy Love. I put Smitten on brow bone to blend out the edges of puppy love and brighten the brow bone. I really love this eye look and will be recreating it again when I need everyday fast eye look.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this eye look.

Silhouette & Charged Up Mani

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm back with another mani for Manicure Mondays and this time I decided used another Kyle Demi-Matte from Sinful Colors with Orly to do a squish mani in a different way than I did my last squish mani. So lets see what I did this week.

Outside lighting with flash

Products I used:
Wet N Wild wildshine protective base  
Sinful colors kylie trend matters velvet Silhouette 
Orly Charged up 
Nyc Shine in a minute 202 Grand Central Station Top Coat 
Sassy+Chic Nail art glitters  (purple stars)

As I said I wanted to try a different way to do a squish mani and I  have seen people use there rubber stampers in stead of plastic wrap so I decided to try it. I used Silhouette as the base and dated Silhouette and charged up with the stamper. I think it looks pretty good. I really like these colors together. I think it's less messy and easier to clean up.  I also put purple stars on the nails I did not do the squish method. I'm really happy how this mani come out.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my mani for Manicure Mondays.

outside lighting with flash

outside lighting no flash
Products I used:
Wet N Wild wildshine protective base Coat
Sinful Colors Kyle Demi-Matte King Size
Milani Quick Dry Top Coat

As you can see I pick a purple from here Demi-Matte collection which is called King Size. I found this polish at Dollar Tree as well as a few others. This is the darkest purple they had at Dollar Tree from the collection. I really love this color its blue base purple which are my favorite and it has a gold shimmer in it which you know I love purple with shimmer. I really love this color and it has a great formula like most of Sinful Color have. Its a demi- matte so its not completely matte but as you can see I used a top coat so it does not matter if it a demi-matte because you know I'm not a fan of matte polishes. Anyways I really liking these polishes from Kyle collection. If you see them at Dollar Tree you should pick them up. They were $2.99 at other stores so you save $1.99 which is nice.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

Reveiw: Maybelline the Colossal Big Shot Volum' Express Mascara

Hello my MJF stars,
Since I said I would do a review on this Maybelline mascara I figured I post it the same day I post the unboxing. I have been using the mascara for awhile now and can tell what I thing about it. I did receive the mascara free from influenster for testing purposes but I always give you my thought whether it was free or not. so lets get in what I thought.

vox box

mascara tube

the mascara wand 

close up of the mascara wand


before & after mascara applied

The mascara tube is nice shinny gold which feels like a high end mascara which is nice. The mascara wand and bristles are rubber which I like for a mascara brush. As you can see it full of bristles like most voluming mascaras. It's a wet formula which I'm not a fan of because that formula make my lashes clump. Since my lashes are short and thick which point down. The first couple of times where this mascara it made my lash clump because it was so wet and I used two layers. After using it for awhile I became less wet and I only used one layer. It does give me a little volume but nothing dramatic. So to me its an alright mascara because after a few uses. Like I said after it dried and became less wet formula it was easier to work with and did not clump or weigh down my lashes. I look for a mascara that gives me volume and length which what I need. If you have long lashes need some volume and like a wet mascara formula you might like this mascara. I might try it with the loreal lash primer to see if Ithey makes a difference. 

What do you think? Have you tried this mascara? Let me know below.
