How I fixed my broken eyeshadow

Hello my MJF followers,
I had this broken eye shadow that recently found in my makeup stash that forgot all about it. I put in a box so that the loose eyeshadow would not get every where. I still used it broken because I did not know how to fix it and was not willing to throw it away. 

Then I saw a pin on pinterest so I also looked on youtube too and I figured I give it a try myself.
So the things you need to fix it was rubbing alcohol, something to crush rest of eyeshadow so used a nail cuticle pusher and something to push out the rubbing alcohol once its been dry so I used a measuring cup from a cough medicine. You also would need some paper towels and q-tips too.

Here is the eyeshadow before I fix it:
Heaven Daisy Crazy Eyeshadow in Daisy Crazy
On the right is what the eyeshadow looks like after I crushed up the pieces of eye shadows with the nail cuticle pusher the round side.
On the right side is what it looks like after putting the Rubbing Alcohol in the eyeshadow and mixed to look like a paste.


After you let the eyeshadow dry for 1-2 hours so it not sticky to the touch. I used a paper towel and put it on top of the eyeshadow then the measuring cup to press down to get the Rubbing Alcohol out of the eyeshadow. Also to make it flat and not bumpy. I did that a couple of times until there was not more of that color on the paper towel as you can see in the photo above.

Here is what it looks like after getting the Rubbing Alcohol out with paper towel and the measuring cup. I used some water on a q-tip to clean off the rest loose powder on the sides and on the lid.
Then I waited over night for it to completely dry.

Here is a swatch of the eyeshadow the next day with out primer.
It so pigmented and so pretty! 
I'm so happy that I fixed it and you might be seeing it in my next smoky eye Friday look. :0)
So if you brake your eyeshadow you should save it not throw it away. Rubbing Alcohol does fix it like its never been broken or close to it.

This eyeshadow had a daisy design on it but when it broke I was so bummed but at least I can still use it.

Do you have a broken eyeshadow? If so did you try rubbing alcohol?

Until next time.
Happy shopping and enjoy the show :0)

My Nail Polish Collection

Hello my MJF followers,
I have been wanting to show you my crazy nail polish collection.
I will not be listing every color because it would take to long. So I'm just going to tell you the brand in each container. If you want me to tell you what is my favorite brand or color I can do so in another post please let me know in comments thanks.
I been collection or buy nail polish since middle school I believe and as I have gotten older been buying more because I learned how to find expensive brands for cheaper prices.
All of my collection is either was bought by me or been given to me as a gift. I also won some nail polish and I will let you know which ones that I won.
I always loved painting my nails and I always have my toes and finger nails painted.
I have been trying to not buy nail polish but if I see a polish I don't have and/or limited edition and/or on sale I have to buy it. Recently I organized my nail polishes by brand but have not made of list of them yet. I used card board to separated the different polishes as you can see. I know I need to get more containers too, so that the polishes can sit right side up and just piled in a container. For now they are store like is below.
Ok lets get into my collection.
I'm going from left to right and top to bottom from each container.
In the first container on the left from the top is L.A. Colors Color Craze which I bought from Dollar Tree store because that's the only place I can find them. I only a few of these because of that. The bottom section as a verity of different brands because I have like 1-4 of each brand and had no need to separate them. So the brands I have in the section are N.Y.C, Island girl (I got from Hawaii), spoild all Jack Skellington polish from hot topic, nail polish that has no name, Broadway nails, mood swing from icing, Jordana Glitters from Kmart, Donna Michelle from dollar tree, Arissa from dollar tree, BC sorry label wore off got if from dollar tree, Wild and Crazy, pocttacco polish very old, kleancolor set I got at Ross would love to get more but no one sells them, and last polish I won is from Sonoma nail art and silly bee's chickadees.
The container on the right side on the top are a mix of a few brands that are newer than the last container. The brands are Covergirl outlast stay brilliant glosstinis the hunger games catching fire collection that I got on sale at Walgreen's and paid full price for one at walmart, OPI that I bought from big lots and target on sale, Revlon colorstay, Revlon scented old version, Loreal, and Julie G. On the bottom is Sinful Color polishes which I have a lot of because they always have them on sale for 99 cents at Walgreen's and when there not on sale they are only $1.99. I also got some from big lots for $1.
I have so much Avon nail polish I put it in one container that is on the left. I think I have the most nail polish in the Avon brand because there is so many types. I have the mirror shine, cosmic, speed dry +, urban splatter, opal, matte, glitter, nailwear pro +, nailwear pro, Speed dry + 30, speed dry, and change artist. All of these polishes I got from my mom the avon lady and most of them where on sale.
The container on the right have three brands of polishes the top section has wet n wild in a few different types and they are Mega Rocks, wild shine which are only 99 cent, Fergie ( only have one hollywood walk of fame), fast dry, fantasy makers, beauty benefits got at the dollar tree, rock solid which they need to bring back love the bottle is so pretty,crystalic which might be the oldest polish I own lol and still not dried out, and megalast that I did not like the brush size at first but begain to love it because you need less brush stokes to cover my nail. I also love the bottle of the Megalast because it looks more classy to me.
The middle section has Sally Hansen and I have a lot of different types too. I have intra-dri, magnetic, mega shine top coat, diamond strength,sugar coat I only have two ( I don't know how I feel about the sugar coat might have to do a mani with them), hard as nails, hard as nails xtreme wear (my favorite color that I had to re buy was Celeb City and I would be really mad if they discontinue this color), Crackle over coat (there pretty but I don't know about crackle. I might to try to use them in a mani), Fuzzy Coat (got only one because I don't know how I feel about like crackle and my friend Kelly got it for me for my birthday last year might have to try it again), and nail prisms (only have two but love them do they still make them? Please let me know might to try some different colors).
The last section in this container is Pure Ice which I love and buy them from walmart but its hard to pick one that does not look like the other polishes I have so don't too many. I buy mostly there glitter type polishes but they are not named any different like Avon, sally hansens, wet n wild, and etc. They also not to expensive I think there like $1.95 or something like that. I like that they have a lot of different colors and limited editions.
In this makeup bag there are three different polishes and pouches. The top pouch has milani polishes which I got from dollar store and on sale from Kmart and cvs. I have the regular polish, 3d holographic, one coat glitter. The middle pouch has Sephora by OPI which I bought at big lots. There is mostly glitter toppers and one nail color. The last pouch has Maybelline New York color show polishes in few different types denims, sequins, metallics, polka dots which my friend Kelly got me for Christmas, and brocades.
The last container has all of my nail art pens and polishes as well as my base coat by Jordana in calcium boost, top coats by jordana in the quick dry in 60 second dry, super dry (I got from dollar tree and its seche vite on card board package), Unforgettable Moments quick dry top coat, and NYC in a new york minute quick dry grand central station (I used as top coat). They are under the nail art pens in the picture.
In is small container it has my Sally Hansen nail art pens, sassy+chic 3n1 nail art pen, L.A. Color art decos, Sinful Colors nail art, nail art by diamond cosmetics, nail art nail polish I got at Ross set, milani nail art with precision brush, Avon nail art enamel (don't like brush its not as thin as the other nail art polishes I have.),  Jordana pop art (only have two and one dried up :0( ) I also some no name mini polishes too.
That's all of my nail polishes I have so far in my collection.
This was so long and I think it was way longer than I thought it would be when I started and I did not tell you all of the colors I have lol.
I think this was really good for me to look at my polish and pull out some polishes. 
I forgot about and might like to try again.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my nail polish collection.
Like I said before if you like me to do a blog post on what my favorite polishes are let me know.
Also what is your favorite nail polish? And if I should try it?

Until next time.
Happy Shopping and Enjoy the show. :0)

Rite Aid and Dollar Tree Store Hauls

Hello MJF followers,
I have two hauls from Rite Aid and Dollar Tree.
I was really bad this week because I got some more nail polish which you all know I have too much of. I might have to show my followers my collection some day lol.

I went to Rite Aid to get the new Limited Edition Julie g nail polishes but they did not have them but I did see the Rimmel London Limited Edition Sweetie Crush polish so had to get some.
So I got two the Blueberry Whizz and Fizzy Applelicious they where $2.25 each. There are 3 other colors in the collection. If I like these I might go get more colors. I have not tried any of the Rimmel London polishes before so I will get back to you if I like them.


Then I went to another Rite Aid with my mom and they had the new Limited Edition Julie G 
Cruise Summer collection. I wanted all of them but just got three from the collection of six.
The colors I got was Santorini (pale blue with silver micro glitter), Tahiti (mint green with blue micro glitter), and Old San Juan (cream Tangerine). They were $3.99 each and my mom was nice and bought them for me. I ♡ u mom :0).


The last things I got was from the Dollar Tree. I got three of the L.A. Colors Art Deco in Flamingo (bright orange pink), Black, and White. I ran out of my other art deco in black and needed a new one as well as a white for back up because the Avon art polish is getting low. They where a $1.00 each.


I can't wait to try out all of my new polishes there so pretty.

Have you tried any of these polishes I got and what did you think of them?

Until next time.
Happy shopping and enjoy the show :0)

Marshalls Haul

Hello my MJF followers,
I have a small Marshalls haul.
I went to Marshalls to find a perfume to wear everyday and that is a good summer time scent.
I really don't wear perfume and I don't have many.
When I saw this perfume box I had to get it but I did google it to see if it was a perfume that I would like.


When I googled it there was a lot of good reviews on it. It showed the picture of the bottle and I had to have it because its so pretty.

Online it said that the fragrance Rock Me! Summer of Love opens with bergamot, aquatic hyssop and geranium. A heart blooms with freesia, water lily and white peach, while a base encompasses musky rose, sandalwood and ambergris. 

Anna Sui Rock me! Summer of love was on sale for $10.00 that right $10 bucks so I figured I would give it a try. Its retail price is $52.00. 

I really do like the smell its floral but fruity and I can smell the peach which I love smell of peach. Its not an over whelming scent which is good. It does not make me sneeze either. I think I will be wearing this perfume a lot this summer.

What do you think of my haul? Do you have this perfume?
Until next time.
Happy Shopping and enjoy the show.

Teal and Brown Smoky Eye

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm back with another smoky eye look for smoky eye Friday.
I know I did a teal/blue smoky look last week but been loving teal colors.
This week I used one of my favorite eye shadow color from Sephora.


The products I used:
E.L.F eyelid primer pearl
Avon big color eye pencil vanilla
Sephora eyeshadow fame and fortune Nº43
Mark. Star status eyeshadow palette earth angle
Wet n Wild eyeshadow single Brulee
E.L.F liquid eyeliner black

I really love the Sephora eyeshadow in fame and fortune Nº 43 the color is so pretty the only thing it has a lot of glitter fall out which is a bummer. That is why I used the Avon big color eye pencil in vanilla as base for it to stick to. The next day there is still glitter all over from wearing it lol.
I'm also really liking my mark shadow palette its much better than the Sephora in its more better in texture and does not have as much fall out as the Sephora eye shadow.
This time I just used the lightist brown color from the mark palette it was lights brown.

What do you think of my smoky eye look this week?

Until next time.
Happy shopping and enjoy the show ;0)

Target Haul

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm back with another Target Haul.
 I've been wanting to get the Despicable me 2 on blu ray and DVD but was waiting for it to go on sale. It finally went on sale for $13.00 so I used the gift card that my best friend Nicole got me for Christmas.
I also got E.L.F's new pearl eyelid primer for a $1.00 because I really like the other E.L.F eyelid primer. So I thought I would give it a try.
Thanks Nicole for my gift card.


I'm really happy I got my movie on sale and got the new e.l.f. primer.

Until next time.
