Green and Brown Smoky Eye

Hello my MJF followers,
Here is another Eye look I did awhile ago.


E.L.F eyelid primer sheer
NYX Smokey Fume Palette (brown color in crease)
BlackHeart single eyeshadow in Olive green (eyelid color)
Wet n wild Daring Downtown ( green eyeshadow in outer V)
Milani Single powder eyeshadow Pearl (brow bone highlight)
E.L.F Liquid Eyeliner Black

I liked this eye look but was not very happy with Black Hear Single eyeshadow. It took a lot of building up this eyeshadow to get the color you see and I was not happy with it because it was not as pigmented as I wanted. The color was not what it looked like the eyeshadow pan either which a bummer. I would not buy anymore of the blackheart eyeshadows because for a lesser price you can get a wet n wild single eyeshadow that is pigmented and true to color in the pan.

What do you think?

Until next time,
Mel

Light blue with neon glitter mani

Hello my MJF,
I'm here to show you mani that thought I posted awhile ago but I guess I didn't.



Products used:
Jordana Calcium Boost Base Coat
LA Color Craze Beach Babe, Craze
Maybelline Color Show Nail Tattoos NYC Park (sugar skull)
I don't remember what top coat I used

I really love LA Colors Craze and looks so pretty with Beach Babe. It went will with the Skull.    After looking at this mani I want to use Craze soon with a different color. I can't believe I never posted this mani because I love it and the neon glitter. If you have not tried any of the LA color Craze polishes you should they really good polishes for a $1.

What do you think?

Until next time,

Maybelline Color Show Sequins Sea-Quins Mani

Hello my MJF followers,
I wanted to show you my Sea-Quins Mani.



Products used:
Jordana Calcium Boost Base Coat
Maybelline Color Show Sequins Sea-Quins
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

I really love and hate this polish. You wonder why I say that because it is so pretty glittery goodness and is very opaque in two coats by itself. The bad thing is that chips fast like next day. I have many Maybelline polishes and most of them chip fast. I don't if its the base coat I used but I don't have that problem with other polishes. I might have to try with a different base coat and see if that helps. I only paid $1 so I'm not complaining.

What do you think?

Until next time,
Mel

Walmart (after Christmas) Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I know this is kinda a old haul but I want to show you what I got after Chrismas at Walmart.


This first haul was when all of the Christmas stuff was 50% off.
The only thing I got that was not on sale was the Eqaute day time and night time medicine that was $10.47 which is a good deal for cough medicines. Ok on to Chrismas stuff. I got three bags of candy, Reese's mini, peanut butter M&m, peanut M&m and they were all $1.44 was $2.88. I finally found the candles everyone been saying where dupes for Bath & body works candles. So when I saw they were 50% off I had to get two of the Simmering Spice which smells like cinnamon and they were $2.48 originally $4.97. Then I found La colors lip balm sets that been wanting and figured I buy some for next year gifts or for birthdays. So got two each kind they had. They were $1.50 originally $3.00. I got Hard candy baked eyeshadow set that I was eye before Christmas and was happy they had one left. It was only$1.50 originally $3.00 for four baked eyeshadows. Score. I also got two of the hard candy single baked eyeshadows and they were $.50 each originally $1.00. The last two things I got was these cute tea light holders in Chrismas tree shape with green glitter and sliver glitter and they were only $.48 originally $.97.


This next haul was mostly dog Chrismas toys and few makeup items that was on sale for 70% off. I wanted to buy some dog stuff for my next year but even with 50% off they were still pricey for me because my dog jack brake them. So when I saw them for 70% I went a little crazy. The dog clothes I got was two snowman, one reindeer and the Pj's where $1.98  except for the pj's that was $1.48 and they where originally $7.97 and $5.97 which is a awesome deal for dog clothes. All of the Charterers heads the Santa, rein deer, snowman and the penguin where $1.48 originally $5.97. I gave the rein deer to jack and he loves it. He did not brake it like most toys. I also got smaller ones for the girls which are the penguin with ear muffs, snowman, hedgehog, rein deer with rope and stuffed bone. They were $.74 and the stuffed bone was $.23 originally $2.97 and $.94. I was so happy that found some good toys for my dogs for next year they were so happy for the ones a gave them and know they will love these. On to things I bought for me was a Olaf Blanked that been wanting and it was not on sale but I got it any ways it was only $9.99. I also got another bottle of Herbal Essence shampoo in tea light fully clean that I love and was almost out of for $4.00. I also got two items from the left over Chrismas makeup gift boxes and I found one of the flower gift set with the chubby shadow pencils that been wanting to try flower products so for $2.47 was a steal because the set was $9.88. I also got another LA color lip balm set for $.75 because it was the last one and I figured I would keep this one for me.

So that was all of the stuff I got after Christmas and can't wait to try of it and to give away to people next year.

I hope you enjoyed see my hauls and if you like tell what you got after Chrismas on sale and you been loving.

Until next time,

Glitter Mermaid Mani

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you a Glitter Mermaid Mani which I did a while ago.



The products I used:
Jordana Calcium Boost Base Coat
Kleancolor nail lacquer Wave of Peppermint
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 3, 2, 1derland

I've been trying wear my nail polish that bought and never wore so I been wanting to wear Kleancolor Wave of Peppermint to see if it really smells like peppermint. Which I'm said to say it does not so I decided to put some glitter on top and I used Sally Hasens 3,2, 1derland which with this two polishes together made me think of mermaids becuase of green like a mermaids tail and blue like the ocean. I really love this combo but was bummed that I got some bubbles maybe it was top coat or sally hasens base the glitter it in. Next time I'll use the sponge method to get more glitter less of the base its in.

What do you think of this mani?

Until next time,

E.L.F Jasmine Beauty Book Eye Look #2

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you another eye look using the E.L.F Jasmine Beauty Book.


The products I used:
E.L.F eyelid primer sheer
Jordana 12hr Made To Last Eyeshadow Pencil Continuous Almond
Jasmine (center eyelid and center of bottom eyelash)
Genie (inner eyelid, outer v and bottom eyelash)
Lago (crease)
Abu (inner corner and brow bone highlight)
Jordana Color Envy Liquid Eyeliner Black Envy
Avon Irresponsible Sexy Black Obsessed Mascara

If you did not read my other post on the review of this beauty book go check it out because I also did another eye look using this beauty book. As I said in the review I was really bummed with the eyeshadow Jasmine because I had to work with this eyeshadow and I felt after putting many layers I could still see my base under the eyeshadow but you can't tell in the picture. I really surprised by Genie because the eyeshadow pan it looks more green than blue but on they eyelid it looks Genie blue which I'm really happy. I also loved the bronze brown eyeshadow which is named Lago because it goes well with Jasmine and Genie. Even though I had a problem with Jasmine, I 'm happy how this eye look came out. I might have experiment with different base colors to help Jasmine eyeshadow out.

What do you think about this eye look?

Until next time,

Review & Eye Look: E.L.F Disney Jasmine A Whole New World Beauty Book

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to do a review and show you an eye look I did with E.L.F Disney Jasmine Beauty Book that recently came out at Walgreens that I got for Christmas.

Cover of Beauty Book
Back of Beauty Book
As you can see its beautiful and I love the colors they choose for this beauty book and the detail is so pretty. If you look close in the gold you can see pictures of Rajah and Genie in the design as well as the lamp and Jasmines palace. I love it!!


They also put the pattern through out the beauty book which is so pretty. They also have a mirror like the other beauty book but this time its in a shape of a lotus flower.
This beauty book has five eyeshadows, eyeshadow applicator, black eyeliner pencil, a blush, bronzer, brush for blush and bronzer and a lip color lip gloss.


Again like the other beauty book this one also has a guild under the mirror for how to apply each item. Which is nice to have.

Eyeshadow Swatches no primer
From Top: Abu, Rajah, Lago
Jasmine, Genie, Aladdin, Jafar

I really like all of the colors even though a few of them are not very pigmented but the one that I most bummed about is Jasmine its not very pigmented and powdery which is very hard to get color on my eyelid which it fall off and all over my face. Even with primer and a base. I used Jasmine in a eye look I'll be posting after this post in which in process of using this eyeshadow made big indent in it to get some color. I would of thought the best eyeshadow would be Jasmine because this is her beauty book. I also had a lot of fall out with Aladdin but I did not make indent in the eyeshadow like Jasmine and Aladdin was not powdery that might be the problem with Jasmine. I think the best eyeshadows in the beauty book is Rajah, Lago, Genie. The rest had fall out and or not very pigmented which I'm very sad about. 

Blush, Brozer and lip color
From left to right:
Blush Royal Palace, Brozer Forbidden Treasure, Lip Color Magic Carpet

I really like the blush its a pretty pinky coral color which I like as a blush. I also like the bronzer which is nice golden brown which is not to dark for my skin tone. I might use the blush and brozer as eyeshadows because they so pretty. As you know I don't like E.L.F lip color/lip glosses so I will not be using it but its nice pinky grape color.

Here is the First eye look I did with the beauty book:


Products I used:

Sephora perfecting eye primer
Jordana 12hr made to last eyeshadow pencil in Continuous Almond
Aladdin (Eyelid)
Jafar (outer v)
Rajah (crease)
Abu (brow bone high light)
Jasmine (inner corner)
Jordana Color Envy Liquid Eyeliner Black Envy

I really love how this eye look came out because the purple and blues look so pretty together. I would never of put these colors together but since they were in this beauty book together I thought I would give it a try. The color that I loved in this beauty book was Aladdin and I'm really happy that with a base it came more pigmented. As I said I had to build this color up because it was not pigmented and had a lot of fall out but it was worth it because its so pretty. I might have to wear this eye look again with a purple base so I don't have to put so many layers.

All in all I like this beauty book even though there some eyeshadows that did not perform very well. I would of bought it even with it faults but I got this from my mom as a present and Jasmine is one of my favorite princess. I'm happy to add it to my collection.

What do you think about this beauty book? Did you buy it and you like it? Also what do you think of my eye look?

Until next time,
Mel
