Hello Blogger Peoples! So I'm bored tonight, so I'm watching ALL of Pinkie Charm's haul video's next is SephoraJunkie's if I stay awake after all these are done. :) I love watching Haul videos, I dont think they're bragging, or showing off and anyone who thinks that is dumb. But that's just my personal opinion.
So I have some stuff to talk about, and also two reviews on NYX stuff and yeah.
Onto my first review;
Nyx eyeshadows, I used Herb and White Pearl the other day in a look along with E.l.f's creme shadow for a base. I have yet to get to a mall to get two faced shadow insurance, simply because even though Urban Decay Primer Potion has gotten equally good reviews, the problems people mention about the packaging just kinda put me off about it, I'll get around to trying it one day but I'd rather try something with more user friendly packaging. Espically since I'm still a newbie to all this high end stuff.
But back to my eyeshadows. The creme shadows were really nice. The consistancy was awesome, just as good as the ones I have in my revlon palettes, just as creamy and shimmered nicely. The NYX went on smooth and they were so pigmented that I actually had to ease up on the application because normally I was used to having to, as Richie Nickel would say, "pack it on loads" just to get the colour to show up, so I'm really glad that they're as pigmented as they are. So I like them alot, and I'm really glad I got them. I shall steer clear of the trio's though, and stick with the singles.
Another review is on the NYX lipstick. I used Athena, which is the frosty lilac colour that I had mentioned in my last haul thingie. I only reapplied once throughout the day, and it stayed shimmery all day long, so I was very happy about that. Now I watched a video from Lollipop26 saying that diffrent Nyx lipsticks have diffrent consistancys which, I totally found to be true when I swatched the lipsticks when I got them in the mail. Some are more slick then the others and yeah. I still recommend them though because their colours are pretty, and they cover your own lip pigmentation pretty well.
So the reason this video is entitled Everyday Minerals, is that I requested a free sample kit from them. The three sample size mineral foundations, one cheek colour and one concealer. I'm going to give mineral makeup another try. I had signed up for Purity minerals, but apparently wasn't using it right, and it wasn't covering up anything, not my uneven skin tone, not anything, it was just kind of sitting there. Now I know you actually have to work it into your skin, but still I dont believe it's the right shade for me, so I ordered one from three diffrent tone families to see what my real match would be. If all else fails, once I get my tax returns I'll go to a M.a.c counter and ask them to colour match me with studio fix fluid.
Now I have a liquid foundation which is really 4 or 5 colours in one, you know that bottle? The um.... aw crap, now i gotta get up and get it... *brief pause please*... okay Im back! Revlon Custom Creations, in "Light". Because I've gotten rather pale lately. And I'm not going to tell you all why, but yeah. I tried to mix colours with the darker colours to find my perfect colour, but to not avail. But lately I've been just using number 2, which isn't the lightest colour, but one up, 5 being the darkest. And it covers the uneveness in my cheeks fairly well, as well as on my nose, and yeah, blends well and whatever. I just don't know if it's making me look washed out and matches or not.
I'm mortally afraid of looking like this lady I work with. She is a step out of the 80's in a bad way. She packs on the concealer, to where her face is like 3 shades darker than her neck, and it's noticable, which is bad. The blush is so bright it's horrible, her eyeliner is so thick and not like in the good emo girl type way.. it just looks very dated and uneven and piled on. I don't wanna look like that, I wanna know what my colour is so I can look just....pretty. Yah know?
So yeah, we're going to try everyday minerals and I'll let you know if it breaks me out like it does some other people I've watched on youtube.
So more on the table on the patio idea, I am going to get a nice little table cloth and the vanity mirror like Elle has from Sally's Beauty Supply. There's one near my house and I'll probably go tomorrow cause I have nothing to do other than laundry. I shall keep you updated on that, and hopefully take pictures and yeah.
later peoples!
