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

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here with an eye look and I was in the mood to do something bright. So, I decided to use my Too Faced Life's A Festival palette. Let's get into what I created this time.



Products I used:
Wet N Wild Fergie Take On The Day Eyeshadow  Primer For My Primas 
NYX Glitter Primer
Too Faced Life's A Festival Ethereal Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette:
Young & Free: crease
Sunset Dream: outer v and lower lid
Euphoria: center eyelid
Too Faced Natural Matte Eye Shadow Palette: Lace Teddy: brow bone
Benefit High Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
NYX Vinyl  Liquid Liner Black 
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara Big Is The New Black

I started with priming my eyes with WNW and NYX  primers. I wanted to do a pink an orange eye look so I started with Young & Free in my crease which is pretty matte bright pink. I then put Sunset Dream in my outer v and little bit in my crease which a really pretty shimmery orange shade. I also put Euphoria on the rest of my eyelid which is also a pretty light orange shimmery shadow. I used Lace Teddy from my Too Faced Natural Matte palette form my brow bone and used it to blend out te edge of Young & Free because the life's a festival does not have a nice light cream nude shade for my brow bone. I did my normal wing liner with the NYX Vinyl and use my lancome mascara on my top lash only. I then lined my lower lash with benefit pencil and added Sunset Dream on top.
I really love how this eye look came out. I might have to do another eye look with this palette next week too. I really love this palette because all of the colors in this palette makes me happy.

Influenster SheaMoisture VoxBox

Hello my MJF stars,
I don't have a haul to share with you this week because I have been self isolating which everyone should be doing right now. But I did get a influenster SheaMoisture VoxBox a couple days ago. I thought I would share with you my first impressions on what I got.  So, let's get into what I got in m VoxBox.

In the box

front of bottle

back of bottle

side of bottle

As you can see I got the SheaMoisture Cannabis & Witch Hazel Skin Rescue Facial Oil. This product says that it a lightweight facil oil that helps to restore healthy skin. Formulated with Cannabia Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, a natural skin-loving ingredient, Witch Hazel and Vitamin E. This fragrance free facil oil adds a touch of nourishing moisture to skin for a bounce back that you can feel. It says to use it after cleaning skin then warm oil into palms and apply all over face, concentrating on areas of dryness. Massage oil into skin using fingers.
I must disclose that I recevived this product for free from Influenster for reviewing purposes only. This does not effect what I think about this product either, so let's get into my first impressions.
 I have combo and senstive skin and though oils would no be good for my skin. But I have been having afew dry patches on my face and thought I would try it. I only tried it a few times so my thoughts might change but for now this what I think about this product. It does melt in my skin nicly and does not feel oily at all but just moisturized. There is light scent but not much that I think most people will not notice. I like that it come with a droper. The thing I don't like is that you have to use your hands. I wish it was spray because I feel like the product adsorb in my hands and I loose some product with this method of application.
I really do like the product so far but I might have to give you full review late.
Do you like facial oils? let me know your thoughts in my comments.

Products I used:
Orly Top2 Bottom Basecoat +Topcoat 
China Glaze Since 1969
Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat 

I decided to wear Since 1969 which is a dark gray jelly base with small and meduim hex sliver glitter. It really a pretty polish and different to anything that I own in my collection. It has a really nice formula in that you probably can use two coats to cover yuor nails but I of course did my normal three coats. I really love how this mani came out and Imight have to get another bottle of it because I might go throw this little one.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani for Manicure Mondays.

Second Eye Look: CoverGirl TruNaked Jewels Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here with another eye look using the Covergirl Trunaked Jewels palette, so let's get into what I created this time.


Products I used:

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara Big Is The New Black

Like always I primed my eye lids with WNW primer. I put Quartz in my crease which is a matte purple nude. I then used NYX glitter primer on my center of my lids. I thought Amethyst is really pretty purple shimmer. So I put it on my outer v and in to crease. I then put Sunstone on the center of my eyelid which is really pretty shimmer. I used Aura from the Covergirl Trunaked Sunset palette on my brow bone because the Jewels palette didn't have a brow bone shade. I need to brighten up this eye look with Pearl that is really pretty white shimmer. I then did my normal winged liner with NYX Vinyl liquid liner. I used my Benefit high brow pencil on my lower lid to put Amethyst on top of. I then put on my Lancome Monsieur Big mascara only on my top lashes. 
I really love how this eye look came out and I really love Amethyst is a really pretty purple.

ShopDisney and Target Hauls

Hello my MJF stars,
I have a ShopDisney and Target haul to share with you. It's not a big haul because I have been trying to save money for my Disneyland trip then the virus happened. Anyways, let's get into what I got.


I always look on ShopDisney and I saw this Loungefly Star Wars Mini Backpack that was inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) for $65.00 but waited to see if they would have a sale. I'm glad I did because it want on sale for 25% off and I had free shipping so I had to get it for $48.75. It looks even better in person and I love it. I can't wait to use it on my Disneyland trip.


I was at to Target looking at the Mens graphic tees since they were on sale for $8.00 (was $12.99) and saw The Mandalorain tshirt. You know I had to get it. The first store didn't have my size but a Target employee called another Target for me and had them put it on hold for me. I love this shirt and can't wait to wear it at Disneyland with my new Loungefly mini backpack. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls and you're keeping healthy & safe.💙💚💜

St. Patrick's Day 2020 # 3/ Eleventh Eye Look NYX Ultimate Brights Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF stars,
I have one more St. Patrick's Day themed eyelook to share with for this year. This time I decided to use my NYX Ultimate brights palette, so let's get into what I created this time.


NYX Ultimate brights palette numbered
Products I used:
Wet N Wild Fergie Take On The Day Eyeshadow  Primer For My Primas 
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Milk: lid and lower lid
NYX Glitter Primer: lid
NYX Ultimate Brights Eyeshadow Palette:
14: crease
13: eyelid
16: inner lower lid
4: lower lid
1: lower lid
9: lower lid
5: lower lid
NYX Happy Birthday Eye Shadow Palette:
10: brow bone
Milani Liquif' eye metallic eye liner pencil 03 Gold
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara Big Is The New Black

For this last St. Patrick's Day themed eyelook, I wanted to do something different than past two eye looks. But first I primed my eyelids with WNW and then put the Milk all over so the bright shadows to pop. I then put 14 in my crease which is pretty light green.  I then used my NYX glitter primer on my center eye lid for 13 because it pretty green with some glitter. Since there is no nude shade in this palette. I used my NYX Happy Birthday palette which does and used the 10th shade on my brow bone. I wanted to do a gold liner instead of my normal black wing liner.  I used my Milani Liquif' eye metallic penicil in gold. I used a brush to get a sharp point on wing. I then used my Lancome Monsieur Big mascara just on my top lashes. I used my Milk pencil to lined my lower lash and again used a brush to blend it out. On the bottom lash I decided to do a rainbow. I started with 16 a yellow in inner eyelid. I then put 4 which is a orange next to 16. Next was 1 which is red that put next to 4. I then put 9 which a blue next to 1. The last shadow I used was 5 which a pretty purple and decided to make it connect to my gold winged liner. 
I really loved how this eye look came out. It came out just how I imaged in my mind.
 I hope you have a nice St. Patrick's Day!🇮🇪🍀💚

St. Patrick's Day 2020 #2 Eye Look: CoverGirl TruNaked Sunsets & Jewels Eyeshadow Palettes

Hello my MJF stars,
I have another St. Patrick's Day🍀 themed eye look but this time I used two of my Covergirl Trunaked palettes in Sunsets and Jewels. So, let's get into what I created this time with these two palettes.  


Products I used:
Wet N Wild Fergie Take On The Day Eyeshadow  Primer For My Primas 
NYX Glitter Primer: lid
CoverGirl TruNaked Sunset Eyeshadow Palette:
8 Daybreak: Crease
1 Aura: Brow bone
CoverGirl TruNaked Jewels Eyeshadow Palette:
6 Green Amber: outer v, inner corner and mirrored to lower lid
7 Gold: center eyelid and bottom lid
Benefit High Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
Makeup Revolution Amazing Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Black
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara Big Is The New Black

First I start with priming my eyelids with the WNW primer. I want to do an halo St. Patrick's Day themed eye so I start with the Sunsets palette. I used Daybreak which is matte orangeshadow to put in my crease. I then put Aura on my brow bone to blend out the edge of Daybreak. For the shimmer shadows that I'm going to use from the Jewels palette. I primed the center of my eyelid with NYX glitter primer. I then put Green Amber in my outer and inner eyelid. It's a really pretty shimner shadow. To be worned this had some fall out because the glitter in it. Even with using my glitter primer there was glitter falling off my lid during wear too which is bummer. Anyways,  let's get back in to this eye look. I then put Gold in center of my eyelid. I did my normal winged liner with with my Makeup Revolution liquid liner. I lined my lower lid with the benefit high brow pencil and put more of the NYX glitter primer also. I did same on the lower lid as I did on top lid. I also put on my Lancome Monsieur Big mascara only on my top lashes.

I really loved how this St. Patrick's Day🍀 themed eye look came out even thought Green Amber had fall out but it's, so pretty that it's worth it.

99 Cents Only Store Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I'm here with another 99 Cents Only Store haul which been while since I went but I had pick up few things. So, let's get into what I found this time and had to bring home.


I need to pick up some extra lantern and flash light to leave in my car for emergencies. So I got this blue 12 LED Dimmable Latern Camp Light for $2.99. I also got this green 30+7 LED Working Light also $2.99. I figured I should pick up a 16 pack of AA battries from ACDelco for $2.49 for the Lanter and Working light.


I also need some Razars so I got the kind always get which is Shave Guard 3 pack. I also need more shaving cream so I got the one I always get which is Xtracare shave cream in Tropic Wave.


I found this 8 pan Covergirl Trunaked in Jewels for $1.99. You I'm a fan of these trunaked palettes and don't own this one. So, I had to get it to try. I also need so flossers so I picked up these Dr, Fresh Kool Floss.


I found that they had some blurays and when I saw these two movies I had to get them. I found The NeverEnding Story II and Hot Pursuit which was only $1.99 each.


I saw this Solar Dual Spot Light With Motion Sensor for $7.99 and thought it would be perfect to put on shed in the back yard so I can see Jack on grass at night. It work perfectly and totally worth more than $7.99. I might to get another one if they get more in since this was the last one.


I have seen these Collapsible silicone pet bowls with stand and never picked one up. But recently I notice Jack (boston terrier) eating and he almost falling over trying to eat his food on floor since he has to bend down to eat. So I decided to pick one up to try. He loves it and it helps him find his bowl too. It also easy to clean because it's silicone. It's totally worth the $4.99. Also Bella can't get his food since she is shorter. So if your dog is short like Bella (dachshund) then would not recommend. 


I also found some new toys for Jack. I got the Pet Inc. Dog Toy Bounce Treat Ball and Squeaky Dog Toy. He love these type of Dog toys.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my 99 Cents Only Store haul.

I also decided to use a new polish that recently picked up at Dollar Tree which was a gold metallic polish by Kiss. It has the same formula as the otherKiss polishes that got from Dollar Tree and really enjoy this formula. But I thought it need more so I decied to use two glitter polishes to give some extra shimmer. I used Never Too Rich which a pretty green glitter polish with small, medium and large hex glitters. I also used Gold For Me which is a gold hex glitter polish which small and meduim size hex glitters. I really love this combo of glitters mixed. I also love how this many came out.

St. Patrick's Day 2020/Second Eye Look: Milani Everyday Eyes Eyeshadow Collection 06 Vital Brights and Milani Bella Eyes Gel Power Eyeshadow Bella Mandarin

Hello my MJF stars,
Since St. Patrick's Day is in a few weeks. I thought I would do a St. Patrick's Day themed eye look. So, let's get in to this St. Patrick's Day eye look using the Milani Vital Brights palette with one of the Milani Bella eyeshadows.


Products I used:
Wet N Wild Fergie Take On The Day Eyeshadow  Primer For My Primas 
NYX Glitter Primer: lid
Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow Bella Mandarin: Crease 
Milani Everyday Eyes Eyeshadow Collection 06 Vital Brights:
1: Brow bone 
3: Outer v and bottom lid
5: center and inner eyelid
Benefit High Brow Creamy Brow Highlighting Pencil: lower lid
Makeup Revolution Amazing Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Black
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara Big Is The New Black

Like I said above that I wanted to do a St. Patrick's Day themed eye look, so when I think St. Patrick's Day the colors I think of are orange, green, gold/yellow. Before we get into the shadow I primed my lids with WNW primer. I started with the Bella eyeshadow in Bella Mandarin which is a orange matte shadow. I put that in my crease and then put 1 which is in the Vital Brights palette and is a matte white on my brow bone and blended out the edge of Mandarin. I then put my glitter primer on my center of lid. I put 3 which is a pretty metalic bright green in my outer v of my eyelid. I then put 5 on the rest of my eyelid which a light metallic yellow/gold shadow. I did my normal winged liner with Makeup Revolution Amazing liquid liner but this time I used Real Techniques silicone liner brush because I'm not fan of the brush in this liner. I think my liner came out much better using RT brush and I'm going to use it now on. I then lined my loeer lid with the benefit high brow pencil and put 3 on top. I used the Lancome mascara but on just the top lashes. 

I think this eye look came out just how I imaged. I really love this eye look. I need to use my Milani Bella eyeshadows because I have a few that are not even opened yet. The Mandarin shadow was one of them and I really love this color.

Big Lots Haul

Hello my MJF stars,
I have little haul from Big Lots to share with you, so let's get into what I found and could not haul.


I went to Big Lots because I need some tooth paste. So I picked up two of these SoundBody Sensitive Tooth Paste to try since they were $2.50 each.


I also looked through the Dvd/Blurays that they got in to see if they had any good blurays. I was so happy to find two Blurays that came with Digital copies that I could not pass up. I found the original version of The Mummy with cool glow in dark slip cover for $5.00. I loved the Mummy that came out in 1999 and never seen the original, so I had to get it. I also got The Invisible Man which also never seen and always wanted to see it. 


They were also having a promo where you get a free can of Arizona Tea but you only pay tax. So I got the lemon Ice tea.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my little haul from Big Lots.
