L.A. Colors Cosmetics Review & Swatches



$2.99 for a makeup kit? It's either too good to be true or the product is junk right?
Usually, yes but L.A. Colors have amazing products for such a reasonable price.

I did a few swatches.

Lipstick:


A nice soft pink color with a slight vanilla scent.
This color lasted for quite a while, I'd say a good six hours.
Even through eating it stayed on really well.

Lip Gloss:


A sheer frosty pink gloss. It has a bubble gum scent.
On its own it gives a subtle touch of color.
Or layer it over the lipstick for a bright, frosty shine.

Eyeshadow Duo:



Really strong pigment in these shadows.
These two colors are perfect for a smokey eye look.

Lashes & Eyeliner:


The lashes are very natural looking.
I like the thin band, it makes them much more comfortable.
I used them in my Pretty Little Liars: Aria look. 
If you missed it you can see
the blog post here and the video here

Eyeliner is your typical black crayon liner.
Lasts long and didn't smudge.


The products minus the lashes.
Apparently I forgot to clean up the fallout from the charcoal color.
Yes, there is fallout but it is easy to fix, if you remember :)

Super pleased with these products. They have a bunch more.

Quick Review: Hey Honey's Take It Off Exfoliating Honey Mask

Just a little review on this awesome skin care product.


I'm not usually a big fan of exfoliating peels or masks.
But this one is amazing!
It's clear gel was actually fun to apply and it felt nice on my skin.

Although it has Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) it didn't burn or irritate my skin 
like similar products have in the past.
It's so easy to use. Just follow the simple directions and you're done.

The result: my skin looked and felt smoother.

Super impressed with the mask and I'm seriously considering trying their acne products.

Thanks for reading my quick Sunday night review

School/Everday Makeup

Sorry there has been such a gap in my posts.
Final semester is rough.

In case you missed last week's video of my school makeup, here it is:





It may seem like a lot of products but it really takes no time at all.
And this makeup lasts for a full day of classes (9-10 hours for me)


Clearly I was having too much fun with filters here.

Thanks for reading, check out the video.
I have a new tutorial coming up that is full of color and fun so stay tuned.
