Review: LA Colors makeup

Finally! I've been saying I would do this review since Christmas! Here it is ladies!

LA COLORS SIX COLOR EYESHADOW

MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

Silky smooth eyeshadow glides on evenly for a beautiful look. Use shades individually or combine colors for a more dramatic look.

PRICE:

I paid $1 dollar because i got it at Dollar Tree bur I've seen these range from $3-$5 online

PROS:

cheaply priced
well pigmented

good color selection(six different palettes are available)


CONS:
some shades in the palette are powdery
not easy to find

(in Precious, Eye Candy, and Hipnotic)

(first row Hipnotic, second row Precious, third row Eye Candy)

(Dreamy)


WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:
I absolutely love these palettes! I have one more that is not pictured here,Cafe Au Lait,that is a palette of gorgeous neutrals (click here to see).Hipnotic one of my favs when I'm doing a punky smokey eye.Precious is a great fall palette,and Eye Candy is perfect for fun,flirty summer looks.
Now I will say the the Dreamy I bought was the least pigmented,a bit hard and kind of powdery.BUT when i purchased the same set for my Mom her set was smooth ad pigmented so, i think the one i got might have been defected. The Cafe Au Lait palette I've been using everyday I love doing a neutral look with a dramatic cat-eye winged liner.For a dollar i most definitely think you get more than you pay for with these palettes.My only complaint was that the lighter color are a bit powdery,but i use them for highlighting my brow bone,since i don't like too shimmery highlight for daytime looks.There is also a palette with purple shades,but i have not purchased it yet ;P



LA COLORS 5 COLORS METALLIC EYESHADOW PALETTE

(Wine and Roses)

MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

L.A. COLORS 5 color Metallic Eyeshadow Palette enhances eyes with NEW BRIGHT, BOLD shades!

Magnificent metallic eyeshadows offers:

* Long lasting wear

* Silky Smooth Application

* Intense colors

* Dual Tip applicator included

PRICE:

I paid $1.50 for this at Family Dollar,it is also available at cherryculture.com for $3.oo

PROS:

cheaply priced

easier to find than the six color palettes

much smoother application than the six color palettes

HUGE color selection(available in 12 different palettes)

i actually like the sponge tip applicator!

VERY PIGMENTED!

CONS:

none so far!

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:

These palettes are slightly higher quality the the six color palettes and have much more shimmer.I wish i they had all of the color selection at the store, but they only had this palette.I really like the first three colors for a dramatic night look and the other two are good for a purple look.

LA COLORS MOISTURE LIPSTICK

MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

Moisturize your lips with Color. These lipsticks are enriched with Vitamin E & Aloe Vera.


PRICE:
$1


PROS:
cheaply priced

smells YUMMY!!


CONS:

Not as creamy as i would have liked




WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:


I bought this in the shade Satin.Its a shimmery,peach-y nude.Like i said,it's not as creamy as i would like,but for 1 buck I can't expect perfection.

I think its pretty clear that l love LA COLORS cosmetics.Super affordable and pretty good quality.

I'm really glad to be back to blogging,to be honest with you girls i stopped blogging for two reasons.1) I was in a funk,you kno what i mean ladies blah mood,in pajamas all day,looking terrible! and 2) I am not a good writer and i wasn't confident in my blog postings,BUT the Lovely author of Little Thoughts and Lovely Things encouraged,and inspired me so thanx hun!

I'll be getting the rest of the reviews i promised soon!

my fabulously affordable haul!

Hello ladies!

I haven't posted in a loooooooooooooong time,due to the fact that i have been so busy settling in into our new apartment,trying to catch up with my school work,and being sick for the past two days.But I'm back now,and with a fabulous haul. =]]

I went shopping last weekend to spend my remaining Christmas money and i was able to find some great deals and lots of cheap stuff!




My first stop was Dollar Tree,the one near my house is always restocking and bringing in new makeup,usually drugstore brands.I was shocked to see the Revlon Soft Eyes palettes there! These are still at Walmart for $9.00!I knew my Mom had wanted this set so I thought "at 1 dollar what a deal!" Well i was wrong! They were barely pigmented!my L.A colors e/s were 100 times better!I purchased another la colors palette and a lipstick as well. (not pictured here)


(LA colors 5 color metallic eyeshadow in Wine and Roses and Revlon soft on the eyes in Whispers Sweet Neutrals,will post swatches later)

Then over to Walmart to pick up my usual foundation Loreal True Match super blendable makeup in Sun Beige.I'm not crazy about the formula but its what I've used for 5 years now,and i just haven't found a liquid foundation that comes as close to my skin tone as that one.The usual price is $9.00 it was on sale for $7 and i had a $3 off coupon so it came out to be only 4 bucks!Awesome! With my extra cash i bought this really cute nail polish that is a sure dupe for the Sally Hansen shade "Pat on the Black", and it was only $2!

Next i went over to K-mart.My original intention was to see if the had restocked on Milani,but they hadn't,but the did have a sale on Wet and Wild products,so I helped my self to a few =]]


(Wet n Wild Ultimate Minerals makeup,Wild shine nail polish in Black Creme,And liner in Cool Green)

I also got a great deal in Avon on the Hydra-Radiance Intensive Nutrient Night Serum.
I call this stuff "miracle cream".I'll be reviewing it later.It is normally $12.50 and i got it on sale for 2 for $12.99!



I also bought a cute shirt at Ross for only $6.99 and found these cute yellow flats at Goodwill for only four dollars!

It was a great weekend for shopping!But now,sad to say, I am broke! lol! No more hauls anytime soon...

well...maybe =P

I will be reviewing all items in this post,posting swatches,and trying to get some awesome looks and Eotd posted soon!

HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. DAY!

Posh by Upstage Brush Set review

Last weekend i was eager to spend my Christmas cash so i hit the stores for some super shopping!I had been really wanting to try the Milani eye shadows and the only place that sells them where i live is K-mart.Its only three minutes from my house so I walked over and unfortunately there was a huge sale on Milani that i misses and there was absolutely nothing!,BUT i did spot this awesome brush set!





It's Posh by Upstage 5 Piece Mini Kit with Purse and 8 Brushes in Total.

So here's my review!

MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

You could purchase a more expensive make-up brush, but not a better one!

Your Posh Brushes are individually handcrafted and made with the highest quality natural and synthetic hair and fitted with a richly lacquered wooden handle.

This one Posh brush kit is all you need to complete you makeup application.

Your Posh kit includes:

1.Powder Brush
2.Foundation brush
3.Smokey and Angled Eye Duo
4.Fine Conceal and Touch Up
5.Brow and Eyeliner
6.Zip purse






PRICE:$14.99

MY OPINION:

These brushes are AMAZING,not only are they beautiful but high quality.All the brushes are soft and fluffy.The Smokey and Angled Eye Duo brush picks up a lot of color,I was really impressed!The Foundation brush i use with my mineral makeup and it gave great coverage,and the Brow brush is the best brow brush i ever used!My brows never looked as nice as they did when i filled then in with this brush!






(btw someone please give me pointers on how to take a good pic of your eyes!!!and in case you were wondering i used the NYC Browser Kit in Brunette to fill in my brows)


As well as being great brushes they came in this cute travel case,when the case is zipped it's small enough to fit in you purse.




I would most definitely recommend these brushes!






While at K-mart I also scored two pairs of really cute shoes on sale for $10 bucks each =]]





In total all that i bought that day came out to only $37 bucks !Which means i still have a lot more money left over to spend =P.


I'm wishing you all a beautiful Happy New Year ladies!

My Christmas List

In my previous blog entry I said I'd put up my Christmas List so here it is :

THE SANSA CLIP

This mp3 player is so cute.I hadn't originally been planning to ask for an mp3 player, but mine broke a dew weeks ago and i had been wanting this one since last year.It's only 27 dollars at walmart.

GLAMOURAZZI DREAMY EYES Eyeshadow Pallete - LIMITED EDITION


I loooooovve this pallete!This picture does NOT do it justice,its much prettier in person,and very pigmented.Its sold at Kohls for $14.99.The brand is called Flirt! Cosmetic which is actually owned by MAC. I no longer want that Pixi pallete anymore 'cuz i feel it's too over priced and i like this on better! =P

Urban Decay Primer Potion

I can't wait until I get this!!Of course EVERYONE knows about this product, I'M like the last girl in the world that doesn't have it!!!lol

I also want some others eyeshadow sets,but i don't have pic of them,as well as some other things thats are slipping my mind.lol

So that's it i kno it's a small list,but i didn't really want much.I bet your thinking"why didn't she put a digital camera on that list?", well honestly my family is in the process of moving right now and that is just to expensive,but after the move I'm sure pics will be coming soon.
