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

ABANDON SHIP!!!

So I havent posted in a while, i apologize. Life hasnt been easy on me lately I've been feeling like all this crap has been piling up on me and I have no shovel to get it the fuck outta my way.LOL. At least I still have a sense of humor, thank god. I have tried to get back into my spirituality, my dad was a buddhist interestingly enough so he passed along some of his wisdom to me, yet I still cant find the inner strength to overcome my depression sometimes. I think about maybe trying meds but I have a huge reluctance because I dont even take simple aspirin when i have a headache! Not to get too into it but some of you guys know I have a small 10 month old child and I'm a single mom. I got pregnant when I was 19 years old and I never planned on having kids. Right now I'm trying my best to raise my son by myself but it's definitely an enourmous challenge everyday. If this story can serve you in any way I hope it encourages you to protect and respect your body and be cautious of what people say, rather judge them by actions. Thank you for reading.

Having a BAD DAY???

THE BIG CHOP

So Im thinking about cutting my hair short..HELLA SHORT! to me having long hair solidifies my femininity and always just makes me feel more fun playful and girly but having bleached my hair an       un-fathomable amount of times dying it purple/ red /pink and every color under the sun, lets just say I think I can for sure get a role as the the straw dude from the wizard of oz!
here are some pics of what I'm going for:

The thing is I've never in my life had short hair and i dread so much not knowing what to do/ hating it/ looking androgynous..i.e Agyness Deyn as a dude

But I'm deeply considering it since my hair is sooooooooo damaged like i said :P
Have you ever cut your hair short? Or would you dare to?
*Wish me luck* As always, your loyal blogger, Fizz<3

HOW TO:ASSEMBLE A $7 IKEA TABLE!

Hey guys! So I've had this table and a couple of other home decorating projects waiting for me assemble them for a couple days now. I got all this cool stuff on my birthday on my first trek to IKEA. If you've never been to IKEA before I really recommend it, if your into home decor and cool stuff like that! So i got about 80 bucks worth of stuff because i wanted to redo my room. As any new mom would know once you actually have the baby and they become mobile it's a whole different ball game. You have to make your surroundings as safe and practical as possible. So anywho I really enjoyed doing this project and it was surprisingly easy to put together! NO MEN OR TOOLS REQUIRED! lol
HERE IS THE STEP -BY- STEP PICTURE TUTORIAL! ENJOY!

                        The table comes unassembled for 4 "table legs" and 4 dual sided screws.

The end of each leg has a hole like this! *lol*

Each side of the table has a hole where you insert the nail securely although you can only turn it twice to your right before it stops.

Make sure the nail is straight and proportionate to the leg and table or you'll end up with a crooked table!

Twist the leg all the way down and the nail will eventually dissapear into the table and inside the leg.

The last part of twisting is the hardest as you have to twist it all the way straight and give it no room for wobbles.

This is what your finished project will look like!

So I hope you guys liked my first home improvement post and found it helpful! Are you going to get this table? or are you into interior decorating?

By the way I will  be updating my blog everyday with fun and different things so make sure to check by kiddos!!! 

as always love & rockets, fizz
