Review: 3 Concept Eyes Lipstick in Shade 6

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you a 3 Concept Eyes lipstick in Shade 6 that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  Have you seen the pictures of the 3 Concept Eyes lipstick set BornPrettyStore released yet?!

There are two sets that were released:

• Series A - 12 shades to pick from
• Series B - 12 shades to pick from

The Shade 6 I have received for review is part of the Series A collection.  These lipsticks were something I have been wanting to see BornPrettyStore carry.  The shades are so wonderful and they did an awesome job finding a supplier who carried.  YAY!

Isn't that cardstock packaging look so eye catching?  I was not expecting it to look like that at all.  When I picked the lipstick to review, I was expecting either a simple sleek box that matched the tube packaging or just the tube itself.  Oh my was I wrong!  On three sides of the package there is a picture of lips with the words "3 Concept Eyes" upon the lips.  What brilliant packaging for a lipstick product!  

Seven Deadly Sins Week 1: Lust

Recently my friend Alice from One Nail to Rule Them All, invited me to join the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge with several other nail gals.  This challenge had a choice of doing it daily, two a week, or once a week.  I decided to do once a week.  For this week the sin was lust, where we had to pick something that we always have wanted to do.

I don't think it was something I have always wanted to do but it was something I have been wanting to do for a while.  It was water spotted nails with turquoise stone nails.  I have wanted to do them ever since I saw Lex from Attacked Astoria Nails do them.  

Ugh let me tell you, I would rather do a water marble nail look than water spotted nail.  It has been just crazy how much polish I wasted trying to get it right.  Oh but it won't stop me from trying it again.  Like they say "Practice makes perfect."   The ring finger color blocking look was inspired by my friend Sarah from Chalkboard Nails.  

Review: CUICU Flashing Diamond Powder Eyeshadow (Coffee, Barbie, & Blue Violet)

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you three CUICU Flashing Diamond Eyeshadows that I received from KKCenterHk for review purposes.  KKCenterHk carries a wide range of products.  To name just a few: nail polish, eyeshadows, blush, nail art decorations, water decals, wigs, and so much more.  You could honestly find yourself lost with all the products that they have.

The shades that I decided to pick were:

• 23 Blue Violet
• 19 Barbie Pink
• 25 Coffee

CUICU Flashing Diamond Eyeshadows are one of my faves when it comes to single eyeshadows.  The size of the pan, the cost, and not to mention the pigmentation does wonders on a girl who loves eyeshadows.

Review: Tribal Colours Glitter - #13

Sponsored

Today I would like to share with you a Tribal Colours Glitter nail polish in Shade 13.  I received this from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  I was instantly drawn into Tribal Colour's bottle shape, since it looked different from the usual slender/fatty type of bottles that sit in my nail polish stash.  How the glittered nail polish sat in the bottle just made it more tempting.

Review: tweets:) - ROFL

On the weekend, as I was browsing around Walmart, I noticed they finally placed up the tweets:) nail polishes.  tweets:) nail polish is from the company Tweets Cosmetics, who developed a nail polish that is water-based and supports healthy nail growth.

Tweets Cosmetics decided to name their polishes with short text names, which I think is funny.  You could see the other names on their site: here.

I decided to pick up ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing), since I felt like I needed more orange polishes in my stash.  Not to mention I was drawn into the shimmers that glistened within the bottle.

Review: Polish Addict - In Bloom

Today I would like to share with you an Indie polish, In Bloom, from the Polish Addict company.  Laura and Crystal, the owners of Polish Addict Nail Color, recently had a sale and I wasn't sure what to grab so I just grabbed one which caught my eye the most.

Polish Addict Nail Color was created by Laura since she has a huge passion for nail polish so she wanted to create her own.  Honestly that is the best reason to create your own items.  I am super proud of her that she did, cause her nail polish collection thus far that she created look simply pretty!

Review: Own Skin Health Renewing Products

Review: BornPrettyStore - YANQINA Pink Dot Waterproof Eyeliner

Sponsored

For today I would like to share with you this cute pink dotted waterproof eyeliner by Yanqina that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.

I always loved the color combo of pink and black on items.  It reminded me of a girly sort of vintage feel to things.  The one bow, script writing, and the dots seriously enhance the package of this eyeliner more.

Today's review is something very different from my usual post.  It's on a Lilly Brush that I received from iFabbo for review purposes.  iFabbo is an international organization that works with fashion, beauty, and lifestyle bloggers and publishers.  Make sure to check out iFabbo and join it.  It'll take awhile to get an approval, but it never hurts to try.

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.

Back to the Basics

Lately things have been a bit hectic for me.  Mostly just been seriously busy, and the up and downs of drama.  Who wants that right?!  Well I barely have time to do any nail art or it has been no motivation.  Awhile ago I was able to actually sit down and relax around my nail polish.  I went back to the basics and did a simple leopard print.  

• ORLY Bonder for base coat
• Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
• Illamasqua Nomad
• Illamasqua Prosperity
• Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Color Disturbia
• Black Acrylic Paint

The gold flakes on my ring finger are from BornPrettyStore, and I honestly love these things!  One of my best friend Emily, sent me a few a while back and I ended up buying more sheets!  They are just so simple to use!  You get twelve containers that are filled with gold orange green sort of foil sheets.  They cost only $6.28!  Don't forget you could use my code "LARJ61" to get a 10% off your purchase!

So there you have it that's what is on my nails at the moment.  What do you have on your nails?  What have you been up to?  

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: Hard Candy - Jubilee & Fantasy Makers - Once Upon a Time

Today I have swatches of Hard Candy's latest new polishes called Jubilee to show you.  For some reason I decided to pair it with a nail polish I haven't used for a while that is also a glitter polish, Fantasy Makers Once Upon a Time.

I love how much glitter is packed into these small bottles and not to mention jelly base!  

Review: KKCenterHk Seemingly Pearl Red Bow & Heart Tree & Girl Water Decals

Today I would like to share with you two nail art decorations that I received from the online shop KKCenterHk for review purposes.  

• Seemingly Pearl Red Bow Nail Art Decorations
• Heart Tree & Girl Water Nail Art Decorations

At first I wanted to split up the reviews then I realized these would look nice together.

The Heart Tree & Girl water nail art decorations is $2.82 per a sheet and comes with 22 images.  They are simple but yet very eye catching.  I love how there is a silhouette of a girl and there are flowers in her hair that enhance the image more.  I think that is what drew me into these water decals.  I love flowers and swirls!  

When using water decals make sure after you place the image upon your nail that you dab it with a tissue paper or whatever your preference may be.  If you do not, and you place a top coat over it you are risking the chance of it being ripped in the process.

The Seemingly Pearl Red Bow nail art decorations cost $5.60 for about 50 pieces.  There were some of the bows where the pinkish under color was actually the bow.  I thought that was pretty interesting and a bonus. There wasn't a lot that was like that.  Maybe about only 5 pieces.  The only issue that did bother me with this was when I placed a top coat over the bow it did bleed.  

• Sinful Colors Orange Cream
• Milani Nail Lacquer A Rose My Lady
• Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy 
• China Glaze Glitter all the way

The heart rhinestones on the thumb were from KKCenterHk as well, and you could see my review for those HERE.  Remember you could get 10% off your purchase with the code JUSTTISEMS.

Have you peeped out KKCenterHk yet?  What are on your nails right now?

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: Hard Candy Bow Ties Optional

If you are following me on Instagram, or my Facebook Fan Page you have seen these swatches already.  I am finally taking the time to post the swatches up of Hard Candy's Bow Ties Optional new glitter that recently hit Walmart.  I haven't gone to Walmart lately, and haven't paid attention to the news from Hard Candy.  However, as soon as I saw the new polishes from Hard Candy I went "Oh what is that?!"  

Review: BornPrettyStore Sweet Candy Bowknots & 2mm Black Rhinestones Nail Art Decoration

Today I have two nail art decorations to show you that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  

• 24 PCS Sweet Candy Bowknot Resin 3D in Style #1 (bow example on ring finger)
• 100pcs 2mm Colorful Rhinestones in Black

The middle finger has pieces of BornPrettyStore's Gold Orange Green Foils, which I picked apart with a dotting tool and place it over a wet base color of Sephora by OPI Ocean Love Potion.  The Gold Orange Green Foils cost $6.28 for 12 pieces.

Review: BornPrettyStore Bright Red Natural Cream Sensational Effects Lipstick 16

Today's review is on a bright red natural cream in shade 16 lipstick, that I had received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  I was curious on this lipstick since BornPrettyStore states on the site: No paraben or preservatives.  A natural product.  Protects lips from environmental elements.

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: BK Flower Fragrance Fast Dry Top Coat in Mint

Today I have one of BornPrettyStore's new addition to their top coat nail polish section (it will be found in the regular polish).  It's a BK Flower Fragrance Fast Dry Top Coat in Mint.  I always wanted a nail product that had dried flowers in it, but I never got around to picking one up.  As soon as I noticed BornPrettyStore was carrying a top coat of it, I knew I just had to get it for my stash.

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.

A little Spacey with a shine of Glisten

Today's nails are my birthday nails!  YES it's my birthday!  I didn't do a lot honestly to them, so I just did a quick nail look.  Some of you caught a glimpse of it if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter.  

I went super simple for my birthday looks since they were freshly cut.  Excuse the uneven nails I blame cracks and breaks on it :( It happens but they are starting to grow so yay!

Today I have a product that I received from KKCenterHk for review purposes that is a nail art sticker.  This 3D Nail Seal Butterfly Design Pattern Nail Seal-153 is just one of the many nail stickers that KKCenterHk carries.

Review: Inkane Natural Lipstick in Shade 603

Today I have a pretty and affordable lipstick to show you that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  It is a super lustrous natural cream sensational lipstick from the company Inkane in the shade 603.

From the packaged box all the way to the tube packaging it is eye catching and pretty.  I love seeing that this Inkane lipstick came inside a box instead of just the tube itself.

Review: Palmolive Fresh Infusions Dish Soap

Today I have something out of ordinary to share with you.  I received a review box from Influenster that was filled with Palmolive's Fresh Infusions Naturally dish soap.  What I ended up receiving was no sample size.  I received three full sized bottles of the three scents that they carry, which completely surprised me.  I was honestly expecting a small bottle or just one full sized bottle. 

Review: Landbis Smoky Crayon Eyeliner

Today I have a review of another Landbis product which I had received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  It's Landbis' Smoky Makeup Crayon Eyeliner.  

Review: BK Glow in the Dark Nail Polish Shade 06

Today I have a wonderful glow in the dark nail polish to show you that you can find at the BornPrettyStore.  It is a BK Candy Colors Fluorescent Neon Luminous Glow in the Dark Nail Polish in shade 06.  The size is 7ml and is basically a mini but trust me this is by far the best glow in the dark nail polish I have used.

Review: Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure in Ka-pow!

Today I have another gorgeous false natural eyelashes to show you from the Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure collection.  It's in Ka-pow!  Once again Eylure and Katy Perry did it again and created a wonderful line of lashes that add a pop of color to enhance your eyes.

Ka-pow is a mixture of black lashes with violet strands.  It spices up all eye colors, but gives an extra KA-POW to those with brown eyes.

Review: KKCenterHk N.Nail Peony Orange/Pink Red Water Decals

Today I have these gorgeous Peony Orange Pink Red Water Nail Decals [WDHHG093] to show you from KKCenterHk.  If you love water decals make sure to check KKCenterHk's collection of them.  They carry so many designs as well as other products like makeup, nail polish, wigs, etc.

**This product was received for review purposes.  In no way am I obligated to give a 100% positive feedback.  This is based upon my own experience.

I was instantly drawn into how brightly colored these Peony flowers were.  The decals actually reminded me of this blanket sheet my mom use to 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!
