99 Cents Only Store Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another haul from 99 Cents Only Store. It's a haul after Halloween so there is a few Halloween items since they were 2 for .99. So lets get into what I hauled.


As I said I had picked up some Halloween items since they were on sale for 2 for .99. So I picked up a Haunted House sign and a Happy Halloween Platter.


I also got two Happy Halloween Mural for next year. I also got two of the Haribo Ghostly Gummies. The last Halloween item I got was the Happy Halloween Light up spider.


I saw this pizza pillow and had to have it because I love pizza. It $1.99.


I also picked up some goodie clips and I need a glue gun since I lost mine.


I picked up another one because I decided to use one for glitter glue so I don't have switch out glue when I want glitter or no glitter. I also got Rocket from Guardian of the Galaxy. He was $2.99. I wish they had groot but at least I got Rocket.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my haul.

Second Eye Look: Makeup Revolution SophX Ultra Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another eye look using Makeup Revolution Sophx Eyeshadow Palette. So lets get into what I created this time.


Products I used:
NYC city proof 24hr eye primer Universal 
NYX Glitter Primer
Makeup Revolution SophX
Tiramisu: crease
Petrol: Eyelid and bottom lash
Fairy Lights: inner corner eyelid
Pancakes: Brow Bone
L.A Colors Grafix eyeliner Black
Covergirl Lashblast Fusion Mascara Black

This time I waned to do a not as bright eye look that I did before because most people are not pink eyeshadow types so I thought I would do something different so you can see you can create different eye looks with is palette. I really wanted to put Petrol on my eyelid this time because its a pretty duo chrome shadow. I put Tiramisu in my crease. I used NYX Glitter Primer to make sure I did not loose the shimmer of Petrol because I wanted the shimmer to pop. Like I said I put it on my eyelid  and in to the crease to blend it into Tiramisu. I put Fairy Lights in the inner corner to open the eye since Petrol is so dark. I put Pancakes as brow bone highlight and that's it. I really like how this eye look came out and can't wait to try another eye look with the Sophx palette.

I wanted to wear a bright blue colors so I thougth break out my bottle of Endless Blue which I think I only wore ones or twice before.

I can't wait to wear Endless Blue again because I forgot how pretty a blue it is. I would totally recommend Endless Blue if you Blue nail polish fan.

Ulta Haul and Review: Makeup Revolution Sophx Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here to share with you a haul/ review of the Makeup Revolution Sophx Eyeshadow Palette.


A few months ago Sophdoesnails announced on her YouTube channel that she was going to have a palette come out with Makeup Revolution and when I saw the swatches I had to have it but it was not in stores in the U.S. yet. Finally this month I saw it was in my local Ulta so I ran down to Ulta and picked it up. It was $15.00 but with a coupon with $3.50 off of $15 made it $11.50 which was a steal. So lets get into the review of what I thought about this palette.


I really like the water color print on the box with the pretty gold writing. I really like they have photo of colors on the back as well as the ingredients.


I wish they had the water color print on the palette not the box.  I like that its not just black like the other palettes but I'm not a big fan of this color because it might get stained. I like it has nice plastic so it does not feel cheap.
 So lets get into the inside.


I really like that it had a large mirror that you can use. Also like that it stays up on its own. As you can see it comes with 24 eyeshadows. It also have the names a film of plastic which is ok but I like it printed on the palette.


There is a mix of colors and textures which is nice for all in one eye shadow palette. So lets get into the swatches:

L to R: Top: Penguin, Pancakes, Fairy Lights, Pink Champagne,  Iced Coffee, and Cuppa Tea. Bottom: Grow Old, Sparks Fly, Smokey Bronze, Mixed Berries, Tiramisu, and Peaches.
All of my swatches are on my bare skin no primer which as you can see these shadows are pretty pigments on there own. They also blend well with each other and there is little to none fall out. I love that there are shimmers and mattes because I love mix in my eye looks. I love Fairy Lights and Pink Champagne as inner corner highlight and/ or eyelid color. Iced Coffee is a perfect eye brow highlight shade. I also love Mixed Berries which is pretty  shimmery purple.

L to R: Top: Cloudberry, Pumpkin, Pine Tree, Petrol, Pug, and Danger. Bottom: Strawberry Sweets, Festive Flame, Copper Coin, Mug Cake, Rosewood, and Nighmare.
In these next shadows I love Pumpkin, Pine Tree, Petrol which is a duo chrome shadow which I love. I also was surprised that I really like Strawberry Sweets because I'm not a big fan of pink shadow but this one is different and it looked so pretty with one of the eye looks I did. 
As you can tell its hard to pick just one color as my favorite because they are beautiful and all go together well in this palette. I can see myself doing many different eye looks with this palette. 

For the price and how many different colors you get in this palette I would recommend it to anyone.

I wanted this eyeshadow palette ever since Soph announced it on her YouTube channel and shared swatches. If you know me and you know I'm not fan of pink but when I saw this palette. I had to to do a Valentines Day eye look using the pink and purple in the palette. I put Strawberry Sweets in the crease. I put Mixed Berries on the eyelid and in to the crease a little bit. I also put it on the bottom lash to smoke it out. I used a mix of Ice Coffee and Penguin as a brow bone highlight and to bend out the edges of Strawberry Sweets. I put Pink Champagne inner corner to open the eye. I really love how this eye look came out. I can't wait to do more eye looks with SophX eyeshadow palette. Also keep a look out for a review probably next week.

Marshalls and Kmart Hauls

Hello my MJF stars,
I have few hauls from awhile ago that never got posted. The two hauls are from Marshalls and Kmart that I wanted to share with you. So lets get into what I got.


In this haul from Marshalls I found this Bella hair trimmer on sale for $5.00 which is a deal. I also got a Rimmel scandal eyes kohl pencil in pure white since I have been wanting to try. It was $2.99. I also got an E.L.F lip exfoliator in mint manic because I have the original but was wanting try the new scents. I happy to find it for $2.99.


I also found these Calvin Klein green sweat shorts on sale for $8.00 and couldn't pass them up.


I need something to hold my cell phone in my purse so it would not get scratched so I got this cute Glam clutch by My Tagalongs for $7.99.


I was so happy to find this Betsy Johnson satchel purse in a medium size which is the size I been looking for because I own a small and a large which I love but was not the right size for me. I also love the stars and the black and white striped handles. It reminds me of Beetle Juice sand worms. It was $19.99 which is a good price and I love it.


This haul is from Kmart which I as happy to find some Wet N Wild limited edition items that I have been looking for. I was happy to find the Color Icon Rainbow Highlighter in Unicorn Glow for $5.99. I also got the megalast liquid catsuit lipstick in Emerald City which was $4.99.

Cool-Ue and Diamond Dazzle Mani

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here with another mani for Manicure Mondays, so lets get into what I put on my nails this time.

Inside lighting with flash

Outside lighting with flash

Products used:
Milani Base Coat 
Kiss gel strong Cool-Ue
Milani Diamond Dazzle 
Jordana Quick Shine Topcoat 

I have been loving the Kiss gel strong polishes so I decided to wear Cool-Ue which is a pretty blue teal color. To give something extra I put Diamond Dazzle which I thought looked really pretty together. I think this would be a pretty combo to wear spring or summer or any time of the year. If you find the Kiss polishes at Dollar Tree they are totally worth it.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani for Manicure Mondays.
