Cosmetic Review Sunday

Cosmetic Review Sunday

Today I am doing a review of my favorite eye shadow L.A. Colors Trio Pallets all with different flower names like Passion Flower, and Forget Me Not. I personally have these two

As you can see from the swatches the colors provide good coverage and are highly pigmented. That is one of the thing I look for in a good eyeshadow. There is nothing worse than thinking you have a pretty color and it looking faded when applied.

 

 This is the set I used today and did a sort of a sunset look.

.

And this is the finished look

 

The next eyeshadow I want to try will be E.L.F eyeshadow. I have heard some good and bad about them so I want to check them out for myself. I will be doing a review when I try them out!

I also want to give urban decay a try as well I hear the eye primer is very good and that they have a good selection of eyeshadow.

If you cant tell I am a eyeshadow junkie (nail polish too) so I am looking for the best wearing out there.

I also recently ran across A company called Spectrum Cosmetics http://www.sp3ctrum.com/

There products are handmade/ vegan/ and 30% of their proceeds go to Autism charities. As I have a Autistic son myself I give major props to this company and would love to see everyone buy at least a little something from them. I have never tried their cosmetic yet but it is defiantly on the list. 

So that is the end of my L.A. Colors review, Have a great Sunday!!

Things I like Thursday!

This has been a hectic week, several sales to make and ship, getting back into the routine of school for me and the kids, massive studying for finals coming up, Doctors appt's , and on and on it seams to go. But I am not complaining. I love love love getting sales, I am happy to make things that others find appealing. I also don't mind the school work I know I only have a year and a half to go before I get my degree. I am thankful for my kids no matter how crazy they drive me. I just need more energy!!!

Speaking of energy I have found one way to get a little more pep in my step with one of my new Fav's

GREEN SMOOTHIES!!!

I know I am a little late in this trend
I thought they would be icky
But I actually like them, to quote a famous talk show host "it is like a glass of fresh!"
I tinkered around with different ingredients and I have found my favorite
it is fresh, sweet and smells lovely
here is what's in it

Fresh baby spinach
cucumber
mango (frozen)
Peaches (frozen)
water

blend well and you have a green smoothie, also the reason I use frozen fruit is it takes the place of ice cubes in making the drink more smoothie like.

My second new Fav is in makeup

I was shopping at the dollar tree and found L.A Colors eye shadow in Water Lily and Iris
I have to admit, I am obsessed with eyeshadow and nail polish. The rest of my face may suffer sometimes but my eyeshadow always rocks. I was so thrilled with my L.A colors eyeshadow, highly pigmented
long wearing (I also use a primer) lasted a 16 hour day. and such pretty colors.All for just 1 dollar each!
 
Well it is time to pick up the kids and do check ups at the docs so have a great Thursday everyone!
