NYX NUDE ON NUDE PALETTE: REVIEW/SWATCHES

Hey loves so i recently purchased the NYX Nude on Nude palette to compare against my Urban Decay Naked palette as i heard this was a dupe somewhere and i wanted to test it for myself,and i must say this palette is pretty impressive however having said that i do NOT think this is a DUPE for UD Naked Palette but rather a good cheaper alternative for shades which run from neutral to dramatic so if you dont like spending a tone on makeup this would suit you. So first of i want to address its packaging i feel that the packaging is very cute and light weight the compact is made from plastic and has a semi clear lid where you can clearly see the shadows through,and i love that underneath the shadows you can pull out 10 lip colors which range from pinks to reds this definitely makes it a versatile product because you kind of get a 2 in 1 deal here.Onto the price this palette cost me $22.50 US/$27.61 NZ which is awesome as the UD/NAKED Palette is around $48US/58.91 NZ so if you are after a cheaper alternative this definitely is a great buy,also this was purchased from Pork Daisy.com if you are wondering and i found them to be the cheapest for not only the palette but shipping so i will post a link below so you can check them out i believe they are having a 10% off sale at the moment =),below are some pictures of the palette i hope you all enjoy your week and let me know if you have any questions.

PARTY EYELASH EXTENSIONS REVIEW

Hello my beautiful bloggers so as mentioned in my haul video i recently had these lashes done over the weekend, i will post a few pictures to show you the process and outcome of these.
So about a week ago i was shopping at a market with my sister when we came across a cute little stall that was selling makeup and Party Eyelash Extensions for ONLY $20, my sister and i both jumped at the opportunity to have them done at that price.
It has now been 6 days since i had them done and i am very impressed that they have managed to stay intact for such a long time considering i am not the most cautious person lol, at first i was skeptical because it seemed dodgy having eyelash extensions done at a market lol, but in the end it was a success the lashes used for this particular job are in fact synthetic but in photos they look very natural and do not weigh down my natural lashes at all,i was told that these last anywhere between 2-3 or even 4 weeks depending how well you care for them,well thats it from me i will put pics and info below and i hope you all enjoy the rest of your week xo!.


Before: Natural Eyelashes

MY FAVORITE DRUG STORE FOUNDATION

Hi everyone so i decided i would fulfill a request i had from one of my subbies which was what is your top/favorite drug store foundation,so i have filmed a demo already on how i apply it but here is the low down on my thoughts on the pros and cons of this particular foundation which i adore =).


So the Revlon ColorStay  Foundation comes in a glass bottle with a plastic screw on cap the bottle contains 30ml's of product which is no different to how much i receive in both my NARS and MAC Pro Long Wear foundations it retails here in New Zealand for a whopping  $30-40 depending on where you purchase it i know EXPENSIVE! right?i have seen countless gurus in particular from the USA with this same bottle which retails for around $10-13 depending on where you purchase it also which is awesome for them but enough about the price lets talk about its performance.


So my initial thoughts on the product was that it is quite thin in texture so it can be runny and because of that i feel it requires a lot more caution when using it i could say they could produce them with pumps and volah!"problem solved".Besides that the product applies very well onto my skin and dries almost instant i feel that the coverage on this foundation is medium/buildable.I would most likely repurchase this and also recommend it to others as i feel that it is a great foundation which pros out weigh its cons and especially the fact that it is not higher end but works just as effective as $100 foundation.Below are some of the pros and cons.



















PROS:
* Affordable
* Wide color Selection
* Foundations for Both Dry & Oily Skin Types
* Long Lasting
* Easy to apply
* Perfect for photo's


CONS:
* No pump (so can get messy)
* Has a strong scent (not so much noticeable once applied)


So that is my take on this foundation ladies i hope it has helped you out and given you some insight on the product it self so i hope you all have a FANTASTIC WEEK and i will catch you all in the next post =) xxxo!

NEW!! URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION

Hey loves so i recently purchased myself a new primer in Greed which is a gold shade and Sin which is more of a pink/brown tone more on the champagne side color and i LOVE these shades i found a seller on eBay selling them at a buy now $12.99 each i was super stoked on the price but when i emailed the seller i found she/he only shipped to the USA but i thought hey why not ask if he/she can do me a favor and ship internationally,The seller was super nice and they agreed to ship to me and it only cost me $4 US or $2.25 for US residents, not only that but it came well packaged and it arrived super fast in total i only had to wait 5 days =), well enough said i will pop a link for you all because i know these new primers retail for $19.00 at Sephora so get in quick before they sell out!xxo.
