Second Eye Look: Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethereal Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another eye look to share with you using the Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethereal Eyeshadow and Highlighter palette. So, let's get into what I created this time with this palette.


Products I used:
Avon Eyeshadow Primer Light Beige 
NYX Glitter Primer: lid
Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethereal Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette:
Desert Vibes: crease 
Sunset Dream:inner & outer eyelid and bottom lash
Euphoric: center eyelid
Beamin': inner eyelid 
Wet N Wild Single Eyeshadow Brulee: brow bone
Benefit High Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
Wet N Wild Proline Felt Tip Eyeliner Black 
Covergirl Plumpify BlastPro Mascara Very Black 

I wanted to do a orange eye look but first I primed my entire eyelid. I put Desert Vibes in my crease which is a nice matte light-medium brown. I decided to do a halo eye since I have not done one in a while. I put some of my NYX Glitter primer on my center of lid for the shimmer shadows. So I put Sunset Dream in my inner and outer lid. I really Love Sunset which is a really pretty shimmery orange shade with some gold shimmer. I then put Euphoric in the center of my lid which is a peachy coral. Since there is no cream brow bone shade in this palette I used Brulee on my brow bone to blend out the edges of Desert Vibes. I added Beamin' in my inner corner of my eyelid which looks so pretty. Beamin' is a bright white gold with yellow shimmer. I did my normal winged liner with Wet N Wild felt liquid liner. I then put on my Plumplify mascara by covergirl. I used my High Brow pencil on lower lid for Setset Dream to go on top of. 

I really love how this eye look came out. The orange shades in the palette are so pretty. I can't wait to do another eye look with this palette.

Jcpenney, Sephora and Ulta Beauty Hauls

Hello my MJF stars,
I have a few hauls from Jcpenney, Sephora and Ulta Beauty to share with you. So let's get into the first  haul from Jcpenney.


Since they were having a sale. I thought I would look around because I need some shirts. I found this cute a.n.a Bahama olive tshirt. It was on sale and I had coupon so it was $8.80. I love the sliver palm trees on it but when I pulled the sticker off some of the palm trees came off too. I hope when I wash it they all don't come off.


I also found this t-shirt on sale Xersion side tie tee. I was not a fan of side tie tees because they never look right on me but this one looked really nice so I had to get it. It was $5.41 with sale and coupon.


I also picked up another Xersion tank top because I own two already and love them. I love the color and the little saying "pretty powerful". It was $6.76 with coupon. 


I also stopped in the Sephora that's inside Jcpenney to picked up my free Birthday gift. I picked the Drunk Elephant set. 


On the way home I went Ulta Beauty and looked around but everything was sold out so I just picked up my free birthday gift which is the Lancome Big mascara.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.

Products I used:
Orly Top2 Bottom Basecoat + Topcoat 
Morgan Taylor Put On Your Dancin' Shoes
Morgan Taylor Tickle My Keys
Fresh Paint Mood Wander-Dusk
Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat 

If you follow me on my Instagram you saw that pulled four nail polishes to wear. I decided to wear three of them which was Put On Your Dancin' Shoes which is a bright red that is a semi-matte. I was surprised it was semi-matte but it does not matter because I use a too coat. I really like this red it's beautiful and it's a two coater. I decided to paint one of my nail with Tickle My Keys which is not my favorite color because it's bubble gum pink but I wanted to give it a chance. It took three coats and it much brighter on my nail then in the bottle. It's ok but not my favorite in the Rocketman collection. I know my mom will love this color because she love pink nail polishes. I really wanted to wear one of my mood polishes from Fresh Paint and I thought Wander-Dusk would go well with the two Morgan Taylor polishes. Wander-Dusk is a three or four coater depending on how thick the layers are but it's worth it because it changes color when cold. I really love how this mani came out.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this weeks mani.

First Eye Look: Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethereal Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here to share with you my first eye look using the Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethereal Eyeshadow and Highlighter palette. I was so happy to find this palette at Marshalls and been wanting to do an eye look with this beautiful palette. So, let's gt into he eye look a created.  


Products I used:

I started with a primer which I have been using my Avon primer all over my lid. I was drawn to the purple/blue shades on the right side of the palette. I first put Funtasy in my crease which is a pretty berry purple which is a satin finish. I then put my glitter primer on eyelid for the shimmer shades. I saw Mystic Rain and had to put on my lid because it's a beautiful light pinky-lavender shade that has a blue-teal shift. I then put Artist Pass on my outer v which is a pretty duo chrome blue-teal with a purple base. I put my Wet N Wild  Brulee on my brow bone and blended out the edge of Funtasy. I then put Unicorn Tears in my inner eyelid which is a iridescent blue-violet shade. I did my normal wing liner with my Maybelline line I have been using lately. I also put my mascara which I have been using my Plumpify mascara by Covergirl. I lined my lower lid with my high brow pencil and put Artist Pass on top to connect the lower lid to the upper lid.

Hello my MJF stars,
I have a collective haul from three stores to share with you from Marshalls, Ross Dress For Less and Dollar Tree. So, let's get into the first haul which is from Marshalls.



I went to Marshall to just look around and I was surprised to find the Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethreal eyeshadow and Highlighter palette that I really wanted when it came out but could no bare to pay $42.00 for an eyeshadow palette. I was so happy to find one and it was untouched. It was $19.99 and I had to bring it home with me. 


I then went to Ross Dress For Less to look around to see if they had any Disney shirts since I always need Disney shirts. I found three but this the only one that fit and I really like. It's from Mickey's 90th birthday collection. I love that it has Mickey and Minnie on it for $10.99.


I then went to Dollar Tree where I found a few things. I these Mr. Brownies in the Blondie bites and a pack of the Chocolate Brownie Bites. They are both good but I like the Chocolate Brownies the best.


I also got this Ghostbusters bag because you know I love Ghostbusters.


I also picked up two Flip Lid Storage containers in a black and clear because need them for my nail polishes. I really like these storage containers because the lid don't fall off ad easy to open.


I also picked up some Assured Cotton Rounds 80 count because I need more.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.

Morgan Taylor Sir Teal To You
Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat

When I saw the Morgan Taylor Rocketman collection and the color that I really wanted in the collection was Sir Teal To You. So I decided to wear it and after doing two coats, It looked too pretty to added anything else. I really love the formula like I said I used two coats and I usually use three. I also love that it's a teal creme with a hit of teal shimmer in it. It definitely one of my favorites in this collection. I have been enjoying all of the polishes in this collection that I tried so far. I'm thinking of wearing the red shade next called Put On Your Dancin' Shoes.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this week mani.

Second Eye Look: Profusion Wanderlust Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I wanted to use my Wanderlust palette because I only did one look with it and I really loved other eye look that I did. So let's get into what I created this time.


Products I used:
Avon Eyeshadow Primer Light Beige 
NYX Glitter Primer: lid
Profusion Wanderlust Palette:
Retro: Crease and lower lid
Nimbus: center to outer lid
Gravity: inner lid
Tranquil: brow bone
Maybelline Masterprecise Cuurvy liquid liner Black 
Benefit Hight Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Curve Alert Mascara Black 

I really didn't have an idea of what eye look that I wanted to do but I wanted to try the other shadows that have not used yet. But first I primed my eye with the Avon primer. I wanted to put a matte shadow in my crease and there a few to pick from. I wanted to wear Retro last time but went with Regal which they are both purples but Retro is a blue based purple and Regal is red based purple. I like both but my favorite purples are blue based, so I decided to put it in my crease. I then used Tranquil on my brow bone and blended out the edge of Retro. Then I put the glitter primer on my lid for the shimmer shadows. I saw Nimbus which is purple pink shimmer that I had to put on my lid, so I put on my center to my outer part of my lid. I then put Gravity on the rest of my lid and inner corner. Gravity looks like pink shimmer in the pan but it's more than that it has some blue shimmer in there too. It's a really unique shadow and I know it's going to look so pretty with the blue shadows in this palette that I think I will do next eye look. I then put my liner and mascara on. I used my highlighting pencil and lined my lower lid and put Retro to smoke out the look and connect top of the lid to the lower lid. 

I really love how this eye look came out. I really need to do another eye look with this palette soon.

Bath and Body Works Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have a Bath & Body Works Haul to share with you. Since my mom had some coupons and I didn't get any in the mail this time. We used here coupons, so I only got few things and though like to see what she also got. So let's get into what we got.


My mom need some more wallflower refills so she got 5 for $23 and she had 20% off coupon. The scents she got was Desert Wildflower, Tiki Beach and Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit. 


She had a coupon for $6 Fine Fragrance mist, so I wanted the Pretty as a peach because I love the scent and don't have a full size of it. I also got 20% off of the $6.00. We also had a free $6.00 items, so I got another travel size of the Pretty as a Peach shower gel.  


They had the Pool Float Sloth pocket bac that my mom really liked and it was $5.75 and it was in the clearance for 75% off then we got 20% off of  that with the coupon. Since I have quite a few pocket bac's at home I gave her one for her holder. I also found a cute Halloween Ghost Lanyard pocket bac that I had to get it for $8.75 and we got 20% with coupon.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what we hauled from Bath & Body Works.

I'm here with another mani using the Morgan Taylor polishes from the Rocketman Collection that I recently won. Let's get into what I put on my nails this time.

Products I used:

Morgan Taylor Just Me & My Piano 
Morgan Taylor It's The Shades
Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat

I wanted to wear purple, so I put on Just Me & My Piano which is purple creme. I also decided to wear It's The Shades which is a pretty hot pink creme color. I really like the formula's of both of these polishes because they were both opaque with two coats and you know I usually do three coats. The only thin that surprised me is that the purple is a demi matte polish which you  know I'm not fan of mattes because they always chip fast on me. I hope it don't because it's such a beautiful shade of purple. I also really like It's The Shades and you know I'm a big fan of the color pink but this one is so pretty. I really love how this mani came out.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

I wanted to do a neutral eye look with a color winged liner. So like always I used any eye primer for all over the lid which I used Avon eye primer. I also used my NYX glitter primer on my center my lid for the shimmery shadows. I put Marzipan on my eyelid . I then put Semi-Sweet in my crease. I used Champagne Truffle to brighten up my inner corner. I used White Chocolate on my brow bone and used it to blend out edge of Semi-Sweet. I wanted to do a colorful winged liner so I decided to use Milani Color Brilliance eye pencil in green. I really love this color green. I then put on my mascara which I used Covergirl Plumpify. I also lined my lower lid with Benefit high brow pencil for Semi-sweet to stick to. I really love how this eye look came out and had imagined. If your not a fan of colorful liner you can always try a brown or dark green or black with this look also but I wanted a change from a black liner. I forgot how good the Milani pencils are and I need to use them more.

Target Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have a Target Haul to share with you, so let's get into what I got.


I picked up some Gummi Worms by Market Pantry for $.99. I also got a essie nail polish that I could no pass up this pretty neon purple called Tangoed In Love from the summer collection. It was on clearance for $6.28 was $8.99.


I also need some nail polish remover but they were all out of 100% Acetone target brand. Instead I picked up Cutex Ultra powerful which is only 98% acetone and they 10% off on cart wheel. It was $3.99 with the % off. I also need more top coat, so I wanted the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat that I loved but it was $4.99. I then saw this Dries Instantly Top Coat that scanned on my Target App for $2.99 each instead of $4.05. So I picked up two and they had to do a price check which at Target is a pain. I don't understand why they make you go to guest services and not just change the price at the Cashiers. It would be easier to buy it online and picking up then getting it in store yourself which is dumb just saying.  


Anyways, I also need some shampoo and conditioner so I picked up the Herbal Essence Color Care Color me happy that I have been liking lately. They were $5.99 each and I had 5% off cart wheel.

That's all I got this time from Target and I hope you enjoyed seeing my haul.
