ELF $5 HOLIDAY PALETTE

 Hey there pretty girls so this is gonna be a mini review of the ELF HOLIDAY PALETTE that I got at target for $5 in the beginning of the month. First off let me say this is a great stocking stuffer or x-mas present if your on a budget! having never tried ELF eyeshadows before I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I expected. The weird thing about it is that the eyeshadows are really hit n' miss. Which means some are really nice and some dont even register on the pigmentation scale.

                                      

Here are some swatches in no particular order:


Pros: good mix of colors/variety, decent quality, super affordable, sleek packaging, convenient for travel( or at least more convenient than that massive 120 palette) great for beginners as well!


Cons: lackluster pigmentation on a few of the eyeshadows, not something worth buying if you already own a lot of palettes!


Overall I honestly think this palette is great for everyday because the eyeshadows have enough pigment in them that you dont have to  sit there and blend for 10 minutes.
Keep in mind if you already own a bunch of eyeshadows this is not something you need to rush out and buy but if It sounds like it would come in handy give it a try and let me know what ya' think!
peace and blessings- Evelyn ....ooh i put my real name this time hahaha

NICKI MINAJ & MAC COLLAB

So yesterday I was reading some blogs and came across one that said Nicki Minaj ( the female rapper-for those of you living under a rock) has done a collaboration with MAC Cosmetics to launch a lipstick called Pink Friday to coincide with the release of her debut album by the same name. The lipstick is a brand new, limited edition shade of pink of course!  and it will be available every friday from November 26 through December 17. It will be available online only @ www.maccosmetics.com.
The lipstick finish is a Satin and is described as a bright creamy pink. It costs $14.50
On a side note did any of you watch the American Music Awards? I did! it was pretty awful. hahahaha. Here's what Nicki wore.
Altough I understand the concept of this dress as an art-piece and I actuaaly like the gold ribcage part the bottom seems so busy and kinda like a christmas tree with all the details and ornaments. But hey would you rather see her in this or a boring black dress? Personally I like her style as an artist.
So tell me Harajuku Barbies are you going to get the lipstick? I think I am! or are you not a Nicki Minaj fan? Love you guys!-Fizzy

Sephora Goodies!

So this is a bit overdue,but here are the crap-load of pics I took from the stuff i bought from the friends and family sale that sephora had a while back. :)
As you can see,I didn't go too crazy just cuz there was a sale the way I see it, something is always on sale anyway lol.
this little box is a palette that stores about 49 eyeshadows on each side as well as 35 lip-glosses on each side.In the middle it holds 3 "blushes" altough the one on the far left looks like a bronzer to me.
It also comes with 5 pencils that consist of 3 of them being eyeliners and 2 being lipliners. Below the pencils are 6 "creme eyeliners" again I put quotations because from what I can tell the consistency on these are more of an eyeshadow base,think NYX JUMBO EYESHADOW PENCILS but less thick. And last but not least it comes with a mini mascara and some disposable brushes.
         This is my first ever NARS eyeshadow, LET ME TELL YOU GUYS I AM IN LOVE!

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT NIGHT AND REALLY DOES THE DUO BY THE NAME "CHEYENNE" NO JUSTICE! LOL:)
THE BODY BUTTER WAS SOMETHING I HAD HEARD A "BEAUTY GURU" BY THE NAME OF ANDREA'S CHOICE (WHO I MET THIS YEAR AT IMATS) MENTION AS HER FAVORITE. Sorry about the all-caps i had it on and didnt want to re-write the sentence hahaha. Anyway it's called Tuscan Blood Orange by PACIFICA. I really like it! the last pic are my 3 free samples, a kate somerville SPF serum, A mattyfying lotion and a pucci perfume sample,I havent tried em out yet. So all in all I ended up paying about 35 bucks for everything,which is crazy because just the sephora pallette alone costs $48. AWESOME:p
