Ulta Extreme Wear Gel Eyeliner Review!

Hello again everyone!
Today I have a review for you on the Ulta Extreme Wear Gel Eyeliner in the color Primetime! If you haven't checked out my review on the Ulta Automatic Eyeliners, you can see it here. So, lets get into this review!

So here this picture shows the outside packaging, it is
nothing fancy just a jar. The label shows the color of the 
product.

Here is what the product looks like, its a very... soft
texture. It isn't thick feeling, it is kind of thin feeling. By 
looking at the untouched portion of the product it looks to
be a plain black, but once you actually dip into the liner you
find that there is glitter. I wasn't expecting the glitter so it
did kind of end up as a draw back for me but if you are
looking for a glitter black liner here it is!

This picture shows the swatches. The top swatch (bolder
of the two) is thicker and more swipes. You can see the
pieces in there. The bottom swatch is one single swipe
and you can see that this isn't a nice bold dark black. It
sort of looks charcoal/grayish. This is buildable, but I would
imagine if this was put on too thick that it would smudge/fade.

Overall I am not too happy with this product. I was looking for a nice dark black liner for my tightline and this was not it. The glitter irritates my eyes and this transfers like no other. I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a black glitter gel liner for their upper lash line, but I wouldn't for the water or tightline because the glitter does irritate the eyes.

Urban Decay Lip Junkie Review!

Hello Everyone!
I hope you all are having a wonderful afternoon! Today I have a quick review for you on the Urban Decay Lip Junkie lip gloss! Lets jump right in!


So here you see the Lip Junkie in the shade Naked. Mine
is a mini size that I got with my Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
I think the packaging on this lip gloss is so adorable. I love the
detail in the cap, so cute!
Here is showing with the cap off and how you can apply 
the gloss. I like this applicator because it gives a sheerer 
color on the lips and I feel a more even, less gloopy 
application. I kind of wish it was a brush applicator
though because if you do not have enough product out
it doesn't apply smoothly.
Here is a "swatch" (or glob) of the gloss. I LOVE this color.
It looks so natural but still beautiful. Makes your teeth look
whiter also! This gloss has a cooling/tingling sensation which
is due to the plumping action it is supposedly doing. I can not
say I notice my lips any plumper though while wearing it. I 
do not normally wear lip gloss, but if I ever get into the habit of
it, I will definitely wear this gloss!

I hope this quick mini review was helpful for you! As always if you have any questions please let me know in the comments! Please subscribe to my blog also if you don't want to miss any more reviews! Leave any requests in the comments as well!
Have a wonderful day and I will see you next time!

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer Review!

Hello Everyone! 
Today I am going to be reviewing the Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer! So, lets begin!

So here is what the packaging looks like, it is kind of 
stylish if you ask me! 

This product is a squeeze-tube so you can control the amount
of product you get, and you can apply this with your fingers
or with a brush for more coverage.

Here is what the product looks like once it is on your hand.
The product does melt to the warmth of your hand.

This concealer seems like it never dries, even after it is set with a powder. Once it is blended out it has a sheen to it and it looks wet. The coverage on this is ok, but I am sure there are better out there. This gets cakey pretty fast, so you really have to use a little bit of the product and a light hand and then build it up to your preferred coverage. I use this concealer everyday and have been for such a long time, a year at least, and still have tons left in the tube. A little bit of this product goes a long way. I do not think that this concealer has a wide range of colors, I believe there are only 3 or 4 to choose from. I have the lightest shade and it is still a bit too orangey for me but over foundation and under powder you can not really tell. 

So, would I recommend this? Yes! It is kind of an iffy product but it is definitely worth a shot. Who would I recommend it to? Normal to dry skin, maybe slightly oily skin as well. The reason for this is because this product does not seem to dry/set and I feel as though someone with oily skin would not get this product to last as long.

I hope this quick review was helpful! If you have any requests or questions leave them as a comment and I would be happy to answer! Please subscribe to this blog so you don't miss any future posts, and have a great day!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette Review!

 Hi everyone!
 I am super excited for this review I have for you today. It's the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette! I must say that I am absolutely in love with this palette. I have had it for about 2 months now, and I have worn it everyday since I got it! So lets jump into the review!

This is what the outside of the palette looks like. It is made
of I think aluminum, and it looks very fancy in my opinion,
I want to set it out as a decoration! 

So you open up the palette and this is what you see! 12
beautiful shades, a mirror, and a brush!

Here's a look at the first four colors, starting from the left. 
First color is Foxy- a matte buttery/cream shade perfect as 
a highlight! Next up is Half Baked- a beautiful shimmery gold
color. This color makes blue eyes POP! Third is Bootycall- a 
shimmery pink/silvery/tanish color. It is actually kind of hard to
describe, but this is one of my favorite colors in the palette! Fourth
is Chopper- a copper, rusted brown color. This shade is very
pretty, for some reason it screams elegant, at least it does to me!

Now these are the swatches of the above colors. As you can
(or cannot) see, the first swatch of Foxy does not show up 
very much at all. I think it is because it is pretty much almost
my skin tone, but I am super pale so anyone tanner than me
would be happy with this color! Next is Half Baked, can you 
see how pretty that shade is?! The swatch just shows how pigmented
it is. Love! The third swatch is of Bootycall and you can't really 
see that much of a color, but you can see the shimmer and its
super pretty used as a lid color! The last swatch is of Chopper
and it looks like a super saturated color, so pigmented! 

And here is the next set of four shadows, (from left to right)
Tease- a matte purpley/brown color PERFECT for the crease.
Snakebite- a deep mocha brown with shimmer. Suspect- a darker 
than usual champagne color, this also looks like an elegant color. 
And the fourth color Pistol- a gray/taupe/gunmetally color, this would 
be pretty used as a liner or in a smokey look.

The first swatch is Tease, I use this color every day in my 
crease. You can see it isn't super pigmented but it is
definitely build able. Second is Snakebite- OMG this color
is SO rich and pigmented. I can so see this color as a liner
color. Third is Suspect. As you can see it swatches a little lighter
than it appears in the pan but still very beautiful. Last swatch is 
Pistol. The swatch makes this color look a little more brown than 
it really is but it is still very beautiful. This color is a little dark for
me to wear on the lid but if it was a part of the smokey eye it would 
be perfect!

The first color in this set of 4 is Verve- a silvery tan color
that I LOVE! I switch up between this color and Bootycall
which one I wear on the lid. It's SO pretty! Next is YDK- it
is very similar to Chopper but a bit more brown, and YDK has 
chunky glitter pieces in it, fallout! Busted is next- this color is also
very similar to Snakebite, but it is deeper and darker. Definitely a
liner color, for me at least. Last color we have is Blackout- a matte black.
Nothing special with this color but it is nice to have. 

So the first swatch, Verve, you can see the silvery/tan 
hues in it. Its very shimmery and beautiful, I love wearing this
color on the lid! Next is YDK and you can kind of see the glitter
particles showing, and also how much this looks like Chopper.
Third you can see Busted, it is not as shimmer as Snakebite and
is is a deeper color. And Blackout is kind of patchy, but a lot
of matte shades are like that. It looks like there are shimmers 
in it but I think that is just left over from previous swatches.

All of these shades are soft and easy to work with. This palette is perfect for anyone who loves to do natural eye looks, or even smokey eyes! I recommend this palette to everyone!

Have a great day!
