Sixth Eye Look: NYX Ultimate Brights Eyeshadow Palette with Stila Giltter & Glow Enchantress

Hello my MJF stars,
I wanted to do a bright eye look, so I decided to use NYX Ultimate brights palette. Let's get into what I created with this palette this time. 


Products I used:
Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow Just Beige 
NYX Ultimate Brights Eyeshadow Palette: 
15: Crease
4: outer v, crease and bottom eye lash
3: eyelid
Wet N Wild Single eyeshadow in Brulee: Brow Bone
Stila Glitter & Glow liquid eyeshadow Enchantress: eyelid
Maybelline Masterprecise Curvy liquid liner Black
Pur Fully Charged  Mascara Fully Charged

I had no idea what I wanted to do for this eye look but I wanted to use shadows that I have not used in this palette yet. I primed my eyelids with Just Beige color tattoo. I decided to put the 15 which is a yellow shade. I then put 4 in my outer v and in my crease which is a pretty bright orange shadow. I then I put 3 that is a pretty peach shade. I used Brulee single eyeshadow since there is no brow bone shade in this palette.  I had to add some shimmer so I put Stila Enchantress on my eyelid since it a pretty peach glitter liquid shadow. I used an eyeliner that I forgot I had which is the Maybelline Curvy liner and did my normal wing liner. I also I have been wanting to try this Pur mascara since I got awhile go. I don't know I how I feel about it yet. I then put 4 on bottom lash. I really like how this eye look came out. Even though, I usually don't used these types of colors in my eye looks.

Dollar Tree Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have a Dollar Tree haul to share with you. I know it's been awhile, so let's get into this haul.  


I told my dad that wanted the Pineapple solar stake lights by garden collection for our backyard and stopped by a DT and found them for me. I really love they are really bright and last 8 hr. They look really nice in my pots that I have on the deck. 


On Saturday before Easter I went in DT with my mom to get some Easter candy. I found other things as you can see. I found these pretty Humming Bird solar stake lights by garden collection and I had to get them to put in the back yard. They are pretty but not as bright as the pineapple ones.


I love the Russell Stover Marshmallow filled milk chocolates so I two of those and two of the chocolate marshmallow filled chocolates.


I also got Kit Kats, Twix which also are my favorite. I saw that they had Russell Stover Marshmallow & Caramel in fine milk chocolate which are similar to scotchmallows from See's candy that I like so I got a bag to try.


I was running low on tooth paste and I like the Crest scope so I picked a box up.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my haul.

Second Eye Look: Makeup Revolution Pink Fizz Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette

Hello MJF stars,
I wanted to another eye look with Makeup Revolution Pink Fizz palette since I only did one eye look with it. I think it was that I bought three eyeshadow palettes at the same time and this one got pushed to the side. So, let's get into what I created with this palette.  


Products I used:
Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow Just Beige 
NYX Glitter Primer 
Makeup Revolution Pink Fizz Chocolate Bar Palette:
Drink and Pop: Mixed in Crease
Celebrate: lid
France: outer v and bottom lash
Bubbles: inner eyelid 
Champers: brow bone
Jordana Cat Eye Liner Black Leather 
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Curve Alert mascara Black

Like aways I primed my eyes with Maybelline Color Tattoo. I decided that I wanted the blue shadow called Celebrate as my main lid color for this look. Since there is three matte eyeshadows in this palette and I wanted to put a matte shade in my crease. I looked at Drink which is too light of a shade for what I wanted in my crease as well as Pop being too dark for my crease. So, I decided to mix Drink and Pop to get a nice shade that I wanted for my crease. I then put Glitter primer for the shimmer shades to stick to. I put Celebrate on my lid then to deepen outer v, I put France which is a beautiful purple. I then put Champers on my brow bone and to blend out the edges of Drink and Pop. I thought Bubbles would look pretty in my inner corner and I was right. I then put on my winged liner and I wanted to bring France to my bottom lash because I though it need more of this pretty color in this look. I then put on my mascara which I have been liking Rimmel Curve Alert. I'm really happy how this eye look came out.

Marshalls Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another Marshalls haul to share with you, so let's get into what I got.


I was so excited to find more of the Stila Glitter & Glow liquid shadows. The girl that worked there was restocking the makeup area and had a bin full of them. I picked out the ones I don't own yet. So I got Fairy Tail (Gunmetal gold with bright lavender pearl), Enchantress (Peach with bright gold pearl), and Embellish (Bronze with multi color sparkle). There were $7.99 each which some of these are still being sold for $24.00.


I also found one of the Stila All that Shimmers Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set for $9.99. It has Starlight (Light gold champagne), Kitten (Vibrant nude pink) and Vivid Smoky Quartz (Espresso). I already own the full size of Vivid Smoky Quartz but don't own the other two. so I thought I use the small one for my travel makeup bag.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my haul.

Citron and Flower Rhinestones Mani

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here with another mani for Manicure Mondays. I wanted to wear something bright since it's been finally warming up in Northern CA. So, let's get into what I decided on to put on my nails this time.

Products I used:
Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top Coat 
L.A Colors Color Craze Citron
Sassy + Chic Flower Shaped Rhinestones in blue, yellow and pink
Sally Hansen Insta Dry Top Coat

Since it's been a while since I wore L.A Colors Citron which is a neon that is mix of lime and lemon. As you can see it is hard to capture this color because in sun it looks more yellow then in the shade looks more green. In real life it looks like a yellow green neon that the first picture is the closest to the true color. I had to add some flower rhinestones to give something extra. I really like this formula because you don't need a white base to get the color that's in the bottle. I also love that it's only $1.00. I got this polish at Dollar Tree but I seen L.A Colors at Walmart. I'm really happy how this mani came out and it's a perfect mani for spring/ summer.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

I then put Tell No Tells in my outer v and bottom lash. I used Matte-Y on my brow bone to blend out the edge of Pirates Chest. Lastly, I put Shiver Me on my inner eyelid. I had to add more glitter so I decide to add Stila Glitter & Glow in Next To Notte which is really close in color to Treasure and add some glitter to the metallic shadow.

I then put Dawn on my brow bone. I put Untamed in my outer v which I thought was darker then Destiny but was only little bit darker so I just left it. I wanted to put Fairy Tail on my eyelid and it looked so pretty. I wish you could see lavender glitter in with the light gold shimmer. I wanted to use Electric too so I put that in my inner eyelid so pretty. I put Destiny on my bottom lash. I then put on my eye liner and mascara. I like how my eye look came out even though some of the shadows was not the color I expected from what they looked like in the pan.

Products I used:
Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top Coat 
China Glaze DV8
Sally Hansen Insta Dry Top Coat 

I'm  so happy to find another polish from the China Glaze Holographic OMG Flash Back collection, so I had to put it on as soon a possible.  DV8 is beautiful teal holographic polish. The formula was nice but I had trouble with a few nails where spots were the polish was getting pulled up and taking of a layer of polish. I don't know if it just that the brush had not enough polish or the layer was not dry enough. I did four layers to make sure there was no bare spots which as you can see there was not. Besides that I liked how this mani came out.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.
