Fourth Eye Look: Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette

Hello my MJF Stars,
I have another eye look to share with you and this time its using the Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette so lets get into what I created this time.


Products I used:
Nyx glitter primer
Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette:
Freak: Eyelid, crease and bottom lash
Thrash: inner eyelid
Revolt: inner eyelid
Wet N Wild single eyeshadow Brulee: brow bone
Wet N Wild proline Felt Tip Eyeliner Black
Covergirl Lashblast Fusion Mascara Black

I was feeling a green eye look so I pulled out my UD electric palette since I have not did an a green eye look with it yet. So I used Freak for an all over color because It was so pretty and I wanted to do something different than I usually do. I put a mix of Thrash and Revolt in the inner eyelid. I used WNW Brulee as my brow bone color and bended out the edge of Freak. I also put freak on my bottom lash too. I used WNW eyeliner and Covergirl mascara. I really love how this eye look came out and I so need to use this palette again. I really love Freak its a really pretty green.

Loud and Proud, Girl Crush, Get It Girl and High Five Mani

Products I used:
Orly Top2 bottom Base Coat 
Pure Ice Loud and Proud, Girl Crush, Get It Girl and High Five
Jordana Quick Shine Top Coat 

As you can see I could not just choose one so I wore all four colors that I got from the collection. You know I'm not a big fan of mattes because they usually chip fast. These do chip fast which is a bummer but the formula is nice because I didn't have to do too many coats to be opaque which is nice. I really love the colors because they are bright pastels or they call them neon mattes which I don't really think they are neon mattes. My favorite colors in this collection is the Girl Crush (bright pastel green), Loud and Proud ( bright pastel purple/blue). I think the other two colors are pretty but I have similar colors in my collection. I think they are nice and if you like mattes you might want to check them out since they are only $1.97 each. Even with them chipping fast on me which all mattes do, I would wear them again. I might have to try different base coat we will see.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

Jcpenney Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another JC Penney haul to share with you. I wanted to pick up some light weight nice shirts since I mainly own graphic tees and tank tops.


I found this pretty black  Short Sleeve Wash Tee by Boutique it was $27 but I got it for $12.79 on sale. 


I also got this St. John Bay Short sleeve lace garment wash tee which when I saw it folded and was not sure how it was going to look on. I was actually surprised how it looked on and I liked the lace and that the split crew neck fit just right. So my girls was not showing like most shirts I try on and I'm not a fan. So I got this Oak Moss color.


I also got it in American Navy color and they were $34 but I got them on sale for $13.59 each.


I was looking around the men's graphic tees to see if they had any that I had to have but I found these items in stead. I found some men socks which fit me fine because I have big feet for a girl. I could not pass them up because one they are Harry Potter, two they were on sale and three I love my character socks. So I got a two pack crew on  sale for $.80 that was $10.00. I also got five pack low rise for $5.27 was $12.00. I also found this Star Wars Pillow case that I had to have because I love Chewie. It was on sale for $6.23 and was $16.00 for one pillow case. I wish they had two for that sale price but I happy to get one and It goes well with my stars sheets. They had a deal if you spent $50.00 you get back $10.00 in rewards but it expired in a couple days so I went to see if they had any shoes.


So I found these Skechers Yoga Foam flip flops in Meditation Daisy Delight navy and you know I love me some yoga foam skechers or in flip flop form. These were in size 11 which I have to buy since there 10 is more like a 9. They were the last pair and on sale for $22.50 and with $10.00 off it cam out to $12.50 which is a really good deal since they were $45.00. I think these flip flops were meant for me and I love them.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I hauled.

Products I used:
Orly Top2 bottom Base Coat

I really loved this mani and really bummed that I have to change my nails later today since they had a few chips.

Play With My Mint, Mer-Mint, Late Blush and Lady Crab Mani

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

Products I used:
Orly Top2 bottom Base Coat
Essence the gel Play With My Mint
Sally Hansen Pearl Crush Mer-Mint
Kiss gel strong Late Blush
Sally Hansen Pearl Crush Lady Crab
Jordana Quick Shine Top Coat

I wanted to wear the Sally Hansen Pear Crush polishes that I got recently and I could not decide which one so I picked two. I wore Play With My Mint as a base for Mer-Mint which is a pretty shimmery green iridescent topper with hex glitters in it. I also wore Late Blush as base on my ring and pinky finger with Lady Crab on top which was a pink jelly with blue shimmer and same hex glitter as Mer-Mint. I think both topper are really pretty and have a nice formula but it is hard to get out the hex glitter on your nail which I was not really a big fan of. If I used them again I will used it and try not to get the hex glitter on the brush. I still really like how this mani came out.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

99 Cents Only Store Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have an other collective 99 cents only store hauls so share with you. So lets get into this haul.


I saw these Hello Summer fold able beach mat and thought they would be perfect to use outside on the deck since it get so hot. I put one by Jacks kiddy pool so he does not burn his feet and so he kind find his pool since he is bland. He can feel the different texture. I got two as a back up since they are only $1.99 each which is a deal.


I saw these max makeup chrimoya two packs which I thought was two mascaras but I was wrong it was a mascara and liquid liner so I thought I would give it a try for $1.99. I also found some the Sally Hansen Pearl Crush nail polishes so I picked up three to try. I need some makeup wipes so I thought I would give these Allure makeup remover. I recently tried them and they burned my skin so I will use them to clean up makeup area not on my face. I saw these Ponds face wash so I thought pick up one of each one to try. I got the Pollution out + purity and Facial scrub.


I was so happy to find one of the Studio Paradise bags with a Boston terrier on it. It was $1.99.


I also picked up more of the Cora lite Ultra Thin pads because they are cheap and I like them. So if you see them at 99 and you like always ones you should try them. I also picked up one these Lancaster soft cremes in the flavor Vanilla & caramel because I never seen them there before. They are really good. I picked up two of the Aquarium pipe & air stone set since these are not cheap. My fish love air stones and my other one was getting old an need to be replaced. 



In this haul I picked up two of the let's party summer luau placemats for outside.


I also saw these cute pineapple table decor in Aloha and Welcome to paradise and I had to get them. I also got this mermaid headband in a pretty green color. I also picked up another one of the Ponds pollution out purity face wash because I really like it and need a back up. I also got this solar light garden stick that dollar tree use to sell.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what hauled from 99.

Review: Makeup Revolution Death By Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here to share my thoughts on another Makeup Revolution Chocolate palette which this one is called Death By Chocolate. So lets get into this palette.


Like in Mint Chocolate review I love the packaging. I'm happy they have a picture of the palette but Ulta has them on display which is even better to choose which one you like and you can swatch.


I love this hard plastic type of palette which does not feel cheap and will hold up to everyday uses. I also like the chocolate bar design. The only thing that I don't that they names of the eyshadows are on the a plastic film not the printed on the palette whether on back or next to the shadows.



As you can see this palette has 16 shades with a mix of mattes and shimmer like the mint palette. This palette has warm neutral and cool smokey plums shades. 

Swatches on bare skin: Top L-R: White Light, Don't Let Go, Break Me Up, Consume Me, All is Lost;
 Middle: Lick Me, Fool's Gold, One More Bar, Devour Me, Tear the Wrapper, Love You to Death;
Bottom: Pray for Me, Dipped, Tease Me, Set Me Free and Bring Down Angels.
As you know I love my bright colored eyeshadows but I enjoy warm neutrals too. I enjoy the formula's of both of the matte and shimmers but there is a little of fall out but you are light handed it not a problem. The shimmers are pigmented with any help of a primer as you can see from the swatches. Some of the mattes would need help from a primer but you know this girl uses a primer with all eyeshadow palettes. The shadows I love in this palette are Don't Let Go, Lick Me (nice crease color), Tear the Wrapper, White Light (perfect brow bone color) and Love You To Death (Pretty shimmer plum/purple shade). I love that is has some plum shades which you know I love purples. I think this is a nice palette and yes it does smell like chocolate but not as strong as other chocolate palettes on the market hint hint Too Faced. I still think the eyeshadows are a nice formula and if you can't see paying for a Too Faced palette you might want to check these Makeup Revolutions Chocolate palettes. They are usually $15.00 but they go on sale and Ulta has coupons. I really enjoyed this palette and I have created some eye looks that I loved. Of the two Chocolate palettes that I have tried there formula is the same. If I had to choose between this Death by Chocolate or Mint Chocolate palettes. I would choose the mint because it has the pops of colors (green, reds). That being said I still like this palette because it has every shade you would need to do a complete eye look and those plum shades. Also I saw that they have a purple chocolate palette out but only in U.K. but I hoping they come to the U.S. because I so need it in my life.

What do you think? Have you tried these Chocolate palettes by Makeup Revolution?

Products I used:
Orly Top2 bottom Base Coat
Essie Loot The Booty
Essie Strut Your Stuff
Jordana Quick Shine Top Coat

I was in a blue nail polish mood so I remembered how much I loved Essie Loot The Booty which is a pretty blue with blue shimmer. So I put that on and wanted to a squish marble look on two of my nail so I used Loot The Booty and another Essie polish in Strut Your Stuff. I really love how this mani came out. I would totally recommend both of these Essie polishes because they are beautiful and have nice formula's, if you can still find them in stores.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

Big Lots, Target and Costco Hauls

Hello my MJF stars,
I have three collective hauls to share with you from Big Lots, Target and Costco. Some are old and some are resent hauls, so lets get into these hauls.


This haul is from Big lots. Where I picked up some epielle aloe vera makeup remover cleansing tissues that was $1.00. I also got this Stylin' 5 pack of these phone cord hair ties for $2.00.


I saw this Modella Fashion forever makeup bag and thought it would be perfect to replace my other travel toiletry bag. It was $8.00 which is a really good price and I love the color combo. I transferred all of my stuff and it fits more than what I had in my other travel bag.


This haul is from Target which they were having a sale on movie which was 20% on chartwheel. So I got Star Wars the last jedi that was $19.99 and Winchester which was $15.99.


I finally broke down and bought a real pop socket since the ones my dad got me from online stopped sticking to my phone case. I got the Blue Nebula design which I think goes well with my star wars case and It was $9.99.


I also got this Contigo kids water bottle that has these cute elephant design on it. It was on clearance for $2.98 was $9.99. 


This last haul is from Costco which they had some Disney movies on Bluray for $8.99 each. So I got The great mouse detective, The Rescuers & The Rescuers Down Under, The Sword in the Stone and Dumbo. This is really good deal for bluray and so happy add some classics to my Disney movie collection on dvd & bluray. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.

Bath and Body Works Hauls

Hello my MJF stars,
I have three bath and body works hauls from April and May that has not been posted oops. I also have a SAS little haul to share with you. So lets get into this collective BBW haul.


In this haul I picked up 6 of the Wallflower refills which they were 5 for $23 and I also had 20% off coupon too. So they were like $3.68 each. I got Mago Mai Tai, Mango Dragonfruit, Waikiki Beach Coconut, Pomelo Citron, Peach and Pineapple Mango. I also has a coupon for a free $5.00 item. So I got A Thousand Wishes shower gel. 


In this haul from May I had coupon for 20% off and a free $5.00 item. So I picked up a small body lotion in Pretty As A Peach since they had no shower gels in the travel size. I love the Pretty As A Peach scent. I also got 5 of the pocketbac's since my stash was gone down and I wanted some of the new scents. It was 5 for $6 and with coupon they were like $.66 each. I got My Unicorn made me do it (magical mango), Don't quit you daydream (pink Lemonade), peach mango, llamacorn (fizzy fruit pop) and Mermaid Life (Pineapple coconut). the last thing I got was this cute Royal Octopus which was by his self and I had to take him home. He was $7.75 with coupon $6.20. I love him and he lights up too.


this last haul is from the SAS which I didn't find much since they only had a few shower gels that I liked. They had no pineapple or peach scents that I like. They only had one of the peach scent I like which I got was Georgia Peach that was $3.75. I also got the Tahiti island dream which I also like that was $3.50. I was pretty disappointed with what they had. So I didn't get much.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.

Dollar Tree Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another collective Dollar Tree haul so lets get into what I found this time.


I saw this cute frog welcome sign and that it would be perfect from my front door.


I was lucky find these rose candle holders which I gave to my mom for mothers day and she loved them. If you didn't know roses mean a lot to my family. These are so pretty and if I find more I might pick another one. 


I found these bikini top shells which I looking for my mermaid costume last year and thought I could be a mermaid again. I was think of painting and putting gems on them.


I also found these treat me bath burst which I picked up one of each design (heart, cup cake, ice cream, butterfly, and unicorn) for gifts because I'm not a big bath person. 


I saw this wind twister and thought I would pick one up to see if worth a dollar. It's cool but the colors faded fast which was a bummer. I was happy to find the star candle holder since you know I love stars. I wanted a blue one too but they only had silver and red.


I found one of the turtle plate and had to get it since matches my bowl I bought at Ross which was much more than $1. I have used natural white 5 minute whitening pen and it was pain so I thought I would try this one with the tray and gel. I also found this Assured compact trimmer which if you been following me awhile you know I love the pen trimmers for my face but they usually are around $7 so I thought I would give this a try. I have used it and it works but I think its best for your legs then your face. It is bigger than the pen trimmers and it hard to hold. So I probably will not buy again. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I hauled.
