Hello my MJF Stars,
Since I missed Monday mani's since it was a Holiday and I was resting from my trip. I decided to post this pretty mani today to hold you off til next weeks mani Monday.
I don't know if I will post a youtube video tomorrow or not because I'm behind in all but I will try to post one on Friday.
Any ways lets look at this weeks mani I wore.

Products I used:
Revlon ColorStay Base Coat 
Pure Ice Emerald Crush
Sassy+Chic Nail art yellow flower
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat 

I have been wanting to wear Emerald Crush since I found it at Big lots. I really love this glitter polish and its only needs two coats to be opaque by itself. You know I had to added more to this mani so I added this yellow flower from Sassy+chic which was perfect. If you love green and glitter polishes you need to find this one to add to your collection.

Key West and Flower Mani

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another mani for manicure Mondays. I work this mani when I was in Hawaii and I did not have chance to get to many pictures of it.

Products I used:
Revlon ColorStay Base Coat 
Milani Key West
Nail Art White Glitter Flower
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat 

I bought Milani Key West awhile ago and never wore it and I thought it would nice to wear on my trip to Kauai an Island of Hawaii because Milani's nail polishes last a long time with out chipping and this one did not disappoint. Its such a pretty metallic shimmery teal green. I thought it was pretty by itself but I thought it would looks pretty with this white glitter flower that shifts pink as you can see in the photo. If you can still find this color and you love teals you need to pick it up. 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani for manicure Monday.

First Eye Look: Wonder Woman Paradise Eye-land Eyeshadow Set

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here to show you my first eyeshadow look using the Wonder Woman Paradise Eye-land Eyeshadow Set.

NYC City Proof eye primer 
Wonder Woman Paradise Eye-land Eyeshadow Set:
Olympia: Brow Bone 
Wisdom: Eyelid
Heroic Beauty: outer v 
Spitfire: Crease
Klean Color Beauty Garden Waterproof liquid eyeliner black 
Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Black 

I really like the Wonder Woman Paradise Eye-land eyeshadow set. The eyeshadows go together in that the colors complement each other and the blend with out being blending away. I tried this new eyeliner by Klean Color which I'm not a fan of. Every time I would try to draw it on it would ball up and crack so after trying to fix it as you can see the line was not straighten because pieces of eyeliner broke off. I might have to try it again and if it does it again its going in trash. Besides that I really like how this eye look came out.

Review: Wonder Woman Paradise Eye-land Eyeshadow Set

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here to review the Wonder Woman Paradise Eye-land Eyeshadow Set which is a limited edition form Walgreens. This set is $6.99 but I got it on sale for $2.99 which is nice. So lets get into what I think about this 8 pan eyeshadow palette.
Front in box
As I said before I love the art work its so bright and colorful like a comic book.

back of box

Inside palette out of box

Wonder Woman vs. Disney Villains:

Wonder Women 8 pan eyeshadows vs. Disney Villains Ursula 8 pan eyeshadows
I wish they put the Wonder Woman design they have on the mirror on the out side like they did with Disney villains as you can see above. Or some kind of design beside being just red. I really like the have names of eyeshadows on the back.

Lets get into the eyeshadows right.

Here is me swatching them if you like to see them on video:


Swatches no primer

As you can see in the picture of the swatches the dark colors are not very pigmented which is a bummer which mean they will need a primer and will have to be built up to get the color you want which ok for some. There is a mix of finishes in the eyeshadows which is nice to see because these can be used everyday if you don't like bright color like the villains which was all shimmer and bright colors as you can see above. I really like Wisdom, Strength, Heroic Beauty, Spitfire, and Spirit of Truth. I really like this palette even more the beauty book. If you want one thing from the Wonder Woman collection and you love eyeshadows I would recommend this eyeshadow palette. I think this a nice 8 pan eyeshadow palette. It has wearable colors for everyone and it had naturals as well as some color. I also think it has a good price point for what you get.
