Review: RMK - Ingenious W Powder Eyes 04 & Gloss Lips N EX-06

Sponsored

Hi Darlings!  Today I have two products from RMK, that I received from LookFantastic for review purposes.  They are from the company RMK, which has some of you may know are a Japanese brand, and it is their Ingenious W Powder Eyes in 04 (gray), and a Gloss Lips in N EX-06 (limited edition Gold).

The packages on these were a sleek silver box that has embossed lettering of "Take me.  Open Up.  Choose me."  I think this is totally eye catching as you walk down the aisle looking at the makeup.  If something told me to choose them I'll stop, look, and wonder why I should do so.

Review: Star Crushed Minerals Eyeshadow in Orbit, Teal, Orchid, Electric Blue, & Starry Night

I have some wonderful loose eyeshadows from my girl Edith's all natural mineral shop, Star Crushed Minerals, to share with you.  I noticed she was having a sale for the ENTIRE month of May at 50% off everything in the shop.  She then contacted me giving me an extra discount over it.  Seriously Edith is one of the most kindest owners I know out there!  So I ended up picking five eyeshadow samples that caught my eye the most.

The little yellow tabs you see are part of the sealers for the sifters.  All of her jars come with a sifter, even the samples.  Which I absolutely love since it is way better than getting some small plastic bag of it.  The samples hold 1g of products.  While the full size carries 2.5g.

Today I have an interesting item that I received from KKCenterHk for review purposes.  It's a LINGMEI Long-lasting Two-headed Dual-use Eyeliner [LM-1950], that has a nifty packaging.

How pretty does that look?  I am such a sucker for cute packaging and the gradient between the blue to yellow is just a great addition to it.

Review: BornPrettyStore Cute Bear Eyeliners

Review: Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Brights Palette

Today's review is a palette I came to learn to love.  I had it ever since Christmas, which was given to me by my hubs.  He knew for awhile I wanted this palette, but never bought it.  Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Matte V.1 Bright Palette is not your average sort of palette.  This is a very colorful palette that might be intimidating to those not use to dealing with colors for eyeshadow.

Sleek Makeup claims that: Ultra Matte is intensely creamy, highly pigmented colors that are super blendable.  These mineral-based eyeshadows are so smooth in texture that they are ideal for contouring eyes and creating multi-dimensional looks.

Birthday Look!

I have been meaning to post this up last week, but let's face it I was enjoying my birthday way too much.  Here is the eye look I did for that day:

I finally got around to using my MUA Cosmetics POPtastic and Undressed palette that has been sitting in my stash.  I have done swatches of it but never really worn it until that day.

Review: KKCenterHk CUICU Pressed Eyeshadows in 01, 15, and 20

Today I have three CUICU Flashing Diamond Powder Eyeshadows to share with you that I had received from KKCenterHk for review purposes.  The shades that I picked are 01 Snow White, 15 Indigo Blue, and 20 Cadet Blue.  KKCenterHk carries a lot of cosmetics and nail art supplies.  They have a wide range of products that you will soon find yourself checking out all the different categories that they have.

Review: Hyatt Beauty - Lash Queen Feline Black Mascara

Today I have a wonderful mascara to show you, Hyatt Beauty Lash Queen Feline Black Mascara.  I had received it from UNIQSO for review purposes.  I love that UNIQSO is carrying more makeup items, which makes it easier for those who are aiming for the big eye/dolly looks, or just grabbing some circle lenses.  You could pick up your circle lens, mascara, eyeliner, false lashes, and such in one stop.  And not to mention UNIQSO usually has some wonderful sales. 

I had never heard of Hyatt Beauty before.  I was extremely excited to try out the mascara and not to mention a brand new company to me.  This product did not fail me what so ever!

I instantly fell in love with the animal print on the mascara tube.  So sleek and shiny.  Just so classy looking with the combination of black and gold.  I say animal print because to me its more of jaguar print not a leopard print.  So to avoid all issue animal print it is!

Review: BornPrettyStore 2 Way Waterproof Crayon Eyeliner Gel/Pencil Smoothing Smoky Make Up

Today for my review I have an eyeliner I received from BornPrettyStore that is a 2 Way Waterproof Crayon Eyeliner Gel/Pencil Smoothing Smoky Make Up.  If you never knew that BornPrettyStore also sold cosmetics, well now you do.  They sell a wide range of products:  nail art decoration, eyeshadow, false nail tips, lipstick, phone cases, circle lenses, and BB cream just to name a few.  Their website is very easy to navigate around and you will soon find yourself adding items to your shopping cart.

This eyeliner is from the company Landbis and it is their Long Lasting Liner in black.  It states that this last 24 hours, but I have not tested this product for a whole 24 hours.

Review: KKCenterHk Yanqina Waterproof Big Eye Eyeliner Black

Today I get to show you one of my October favorites!  It's a Yanqina Waterproof Big Eye (#8608) eyeliner in black that I had received from KKCenterHk.  If you have actually talked to me you'll come to find that there are some liquid eyeliners that I just cannot wear due to being allergic to it.  Not to mention, that I love black eyeliner!  Surprisingly this liquid eyeliner did not irritate my eyelid what so ever!  

Capacity: 8ml 0.4fl.oz

Size: 15mm x 15mm x 102mm

Review: Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner - BK802 Black Double Shot

Today I am so excited to show you some goodies that I had received from the company Cosmetic Love, which is a Korean-based online shop that sells a lot of Asian cosmetics.  They carry various products from nail polish to BB creams to eyeliners to lipstick.  Their site even carries skin care products and items for men as well.  Just to list a few big name Asian Brands:  TonyMoly, Skin79, Missha, Etude House, and the list goes on.  Their website is very easy to navigate through.

I picked the Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner in BK802 Black Double Shot, since I never tried an Asian gel liner before.  They were even kind enough to put in three samples with my package.  If you order from them you will receive samples as gifts.  So say you order 1 product you get 2 samples.  You order three items you get two samples, a nose pack, and a mask pack.  They are at random of course, but its a great way into trying new products!  More information about the samples I received, later on in this post.

The box that the items were in was such a pretty color.  It was a golden like shade that reminded me of the nail polish from Milani - Signature Gold.  When I saw the package I instantly went "Oh...what is that!"  It is very eye catching and brightens your day a bit.  It is way better than seeing the typical cardboard boxes I get.

Accidentally saw the Sunset + Quick Eye Look

Today I will be showing you two looks I did.  One for today and the other one was for Wednesday.  I was messing around with my palettes today, and not even sure how, but I accidentally did a sunset look.  I was going for a more different yellow and red eyeshadow combination look, but guess that wasn't happening.  Because my hands ended up doing a total sunset.  Think of something in your head, executed totally different by your hands.  Happens sometimes with nail art too haha.

Review: theBalm - Meet Matt(e)

I would like you to Meet Matt(e), a well respected palette from the company theBalm.

I had received it from my husband for Mother's day, and I was super excited upon getting it.  I have been wanting Meet Matt(e) for awhile now, so this was an awesome gift for me.  

Uh-oh! FiS moment!

So I went back to Walgreens since that 50% off Rimmel is going on until Saturday, and I knew I had to pick up some other stuff.  Don't forget if you are planning on buying some Rimmel, make sure to check out my other FiS for coupons on it.  You can seriously save some major bucks!

The two packs of Makeup Remover from Nature's Care is a 15 sheet, and I bought them at Rite-aid.  They were $1.99 each, and wanted something to try out new for wipes.

All the Rimmel London items I bought at Walgreens.  Seriously this sale + the coupon is just way too awesome! 
Rimmel London snagged up:

• Clean Finish Foundation - Ivory (was for my bestie, but it's the wrong shade OPP.  So just going to go back and exchange it.) Original Price $5 sum Sale price $2.74 - $1 coupon
• Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Original Price $7 sum Sale price $3.74 - $1 coupon
• Volume Accelerator Mascara Original Price $9 sum Sale Price $4.74 - $1 coupon
• Lash Accelerator Mascara Original Price $9 sum Sale Price $4.49 - $1 coupon
• Lasting Finish Pro Nail Polishes Original Price $4 sum Sale Price $2.24 - $1 coupon

I spent a total of  $14.19 plus tax.  I saved about $26 on my haul!  Gotta love saving when it comes to cosmetics!

Have you picked up some Rimmel London items from Walgreens' sale yet?

Uh-oh! FiS moment!

I was suppose to be on a total "no-buy cosmetics" goal, but with getting supplies for work, I find it difficult to avoid.  Not to mention some of these sales that have been going on!

So here is what I picked up over the weekend!
The Sedona Lace samples came in last week, but I never got around to posting about it.  Just been so busy with so many things going on.  It included three pans of eyeshadow from their most popular palettes, and a travel brush of their Vortex Synthetic Blender.  I haven't opened up the pans yet.  As for the brush it's so cute and small!  The bristles are super soft!  Will definitely will have this in my stash when I go on travel.
Headed to Ulta.  Picked up two of their Salon Nail Lacquer in Jaded, and Maine Attraction, which is currently going as 2 for $4.  I only have one nail polish from Ulta, so I had to try more, before I pick up some for a care package to a good friend.  I also picked up Maybelline's Dream Matte Powder, in light and medium shade BOGO1/2.  So basically my trip to Ulta I spent only $12 sum since I also had the $3.50 off coupon.  Not bad at all!
Went to K-mart and noticed they had BOGO1/2 on Wet 'n' Wild products, and noticed they had the shades I was looking for the Megalast Lip Color.  Honestly if you have not tried these yet, I suggest you pick one up!  They are actually my favorite items from them.  They were actually $2.99 a piece for the lipsticks.  I picked the Coral-ine, and Purty Persimmon.
My next pick up of items, was from Walgreens.  They are currently having 50% off ALL Rimmel items.  How awesome is that?  And not to mention here are three coupons for you to print out.  Make sure your Walgreens does accept these.
http://www.redplum.com/pages/viewoffer.aspx?OfferId=92667
http://www.redplum.com/pages/viewoffer.aspx?OfferId=90042
http://www.redplum.com/pages/viewoffer.aspx?OfferId=85548

You are able to print them out several times.  I didn't grab that much today, since I had forgotten my list of items that I need for the shoot.  The sale is well wicked!  The foundations were about $2 sum a piece at the 50% rate already, minus $1 from the coupon!  So I spent $3.74 + tax for both of them.  LOVE SAVING!  Oh they were the Match Perfection, and Clean Finish Foundation.

What did you pick up over the weekend?  Do you plan on heading out to Walgreens now for the sale?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, and have a great week.  Happy Monday gorgeous!

Review: theBalm Nude'Tude Eyeshadow Palette

If you love neutral eyeshadows, and want a palette that has a little bit more color variation, then you should check out theBalm's Nude'tude palette.
It has been on my list of wants for awhile now, but the only thing that had stopped me from obtaining it is well...if you know me, I love color!  Recently though a friend of mine Emily has got me into neutrals again.  So it peeked interest to me once again.  I then noticed theBalm was doing a daily giveaway on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, which by the way is still going on, so I decided to take my chances.  I ended up winning on Twitter from them!

I was super excited, and messaged them right away.  After being a pain in the arse of lack of patience, I had finally received it.  Eryn was even kind enough to toss in a Stainiac in the package.  So thank you for that!

Review: NYX Eyeshadow Base White

NYX Cosmetics' Eyeshadow Base in the shade white is my favorite eyeshadow base to use.  It usually cost $7, but sometimes you can catch it on sale at areas that carry the NYX Cosmetics product.  Very budget friendly, since one small pot could last you so long!

L.o.t.D. Evening Play Around

Here's the second look I did last night.

Purple, and a shade of light blue, is one of my favorite combos to do on my lil ol' brown eyes.

L.o.t.D. - Purplen' Neutral

This was actually a look that I did on Thursday, and I am just now getting to posting it up.  Just been busy with a lot of things lately, and feeling a bit stressed.  Better late than never, right?

If you're curious about what is on my nails you can peep it here.
I wanted it to be kind of neutral and colorful at the same time.  So I only used three shades of eyeshadow.
