Physician Formula Eye Booster 2 in 1 Eyeliner


                                  



What can I say about this product but that I have found something better then Loreal Linear Intense Eyeliner. Which I really love but have replaced with this Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2 in 1 Eyeliner Serum. I have two out of the three that they sale ( Ultra black and Deep Brown). These eyeliners are amazing they really stand the test of time ( in the sense of 8+ hours). I have enjoyed not setting it with an eyeshadow because it's that good of an liquid eyeliner. It's priced at $10.95 but can run a little more depending where to decide to purchase it and what retailer (Drugstore, Walmart, or Target). Physician's Formula claims that this product will enhance the look of lashes, targets the base of your lashes, with its unique brush your are able to capture whatever look you are going for may that be a thick or thin line. It is dearrived from a Japanese formulation that wears long, is water proof, and does not smudge.
It is only 0.16 Fl oz I have had it for several months and it has not dried out yet.
My personal experience with this is that it has not smudged at all. I have put this on before 8am and gotten home around 7pm and the eyeliner has faded a tad but nothing to bad and really hasn't moved much on my lads. I think that this is well money spent... The black is a true rich intense black and the brown is like a dark chocolate brown. They go great with almost any look and compliment dramatic looks as well... Again thanks for stopping by and reading my blog it means alot.

Love,
Nikk

Maybelline Tattoo Eyeshadows


Well to start everyone knows how amazing these are and if you don't I would suggest for you to run to your local Walmart, Target, or Drugstore and at least try one. I currently own 05 Too Cool, 15 Audacious Asphalt. 20 Painted Purple, 25 Bad to the Bronze, 35 Tough as Taupe, 45 Bold Gold, and 50 Edgy Emerald. I brought all of the eyeshadows at separate times. I been playing around with the colors a bit, this weekend I used 20 Painted Purple as a eye liner. I wanted to see the intensity of the pigmentation which was ok for it being purple but I had to use a bright purple eyeshadow to make it more intense to my liking. I have used them with primer and without. I prefer with primer because I feel like they last a little longer and look better but that is just my personal opinion. I am quite sure you can go without if you are on the go! You can use these in many different ways. You can use them for what they are intended for or you can step it up a bit further and test different ways like finding a similar eyeshadow and applying that first then using a tattoo eyeshadow over top, you can also use it like an eye liner, and just a crease color. There are endless possibilities...Last thought for these cream shadows! How about mixing them to create a whole new color.
If you come up with new and creative ways to use the Maybelline Tattoo Eyeshadow leave me a comment to a twitter comment and share!

Loreal True Match Foundation


Good Morning Loves...I have had this foundation for a few weeks now and I have literally used this foundation every single day. This foundation claims to precisely match your skin and texture. You can control how much coverage you want which is a plus. This foundation is oil-free, fragrant-free and claims to not clog your pores. It is infused with vitamin A, C, wheat germ and white grape extract. Also it has a SPF of 17 which is great. My personal experience with this product has been pretty good so far. The only con I have is that by late afternoon my skin is a bit oily. I am not sure if that is from my primer which is Loreal magic primer or just that foundation wearing out after so many hours. I usally set it with Rimmell London's stay matte translucent powder. I haven't had a white cast when taking pictures which has happened to me before with the Neutrogena healthly skin foundation which I dislike!!! I forgot to mention also that this foundation has very fine shimmers nothing to crazy or overbearing.
Over all I give this foundation a A- just because it hasn't held up like my Maybelline 24 foundation and my Bare Essentials Matte foundation but I do recommend trying it. It's between $10-$12 which I don't think is bad for a drugstore. All I which this would do is add a pump to the bottle. I provided you guys with the link below. I help this review was helpful...Enjoy!

Make Up For Ever La Bohème Collection




This is Make Up For Ever Spring Collection called La Boheme and my next makeup purchase for sure. I was on the Sephora website and saw that they had placed a few new products and came across this and I am totally in love with the packaging and the colors are perfect for the spring. The palette is perfect it has different colors but the colors are wearable for all eye colors ( If you ask me). The lipstick comes in two shades...Nude color and a reddish corally color and finally the eyeliner is a rich brown color. The packaging is very beautiful and definitely captured the "boheme" feel that they were going for. As soon as I purchase the collection I will do a full review for you guys. I provided you guys with all the links below to the products on Sephora's website.

Top: Palette
Middle: Lipstick
Bottom: Eyeliner

Loreal Magic Perfecting Base

Hello Loves...What can I say about this product many many things. It is an absolutely great product I normally use Bare Essential primer but I saw Allthatglitters21 on YouTube rave about this product and I went ahead and brought it. What a great purchase... not only is it oil- free but it mattifies your face. It makes your face feel smooth and with no shine at all. I have only used this twice and I already know that I will be repurchasing this product. In combination with my Loreal True Match Foundation in the color W5, both have been my go products recently. The primer claims to reduce your pores and fine lines and give you a  flawless matte finish.


I provided you guys with the link above incase you guys might be interested

Lots of Love...BeautyTherapy83

New Wet & Wild polish

Rite Aid is having a 40% off on all their cosmetics line. The two nail polishes I grabbed we're I need a refresh mint and on a trip.


Elf Cosmetics Studio Brushes





Hello Everyone...I made a purchased with elfcosmetics.com a few weeks ago along with the elf eye shadow 144 palette. I had purchased these brushes before when they had a 50% off sale last year. I really do enjoy these brushes the quality is great for the price and if you get them on sale you are getting a great deal. The texture of the brushes are good and they hold up well. I have washed mines a few times and they still hold up there shape. The powder brush I use for foundation I just enjoy the way is blends my foundation. The kaboki face brush is great for applying all over face powder to set your foundation or even blend your brush and bronzer together to get a seemless look. The small angle brush is okay I am still a newbie at applying gel liner I am not good at it one bit so I tend to stick to liquid liner. Finally the complexion brush I have been using it for blush and highlighting the top of my cheeks. I really don't think it's a great blush brush and I know it isn't meant for that but that's what I brought it for. I think as a dusting of a light wash of color of blush or highlighting that the complexion brush is great. I hope you guys enjoyed my review and I hope it helps you purchase or consider buying some of elf brushes.

Elf Cosmetics 144 Palette



Hello Again...I recently purchased this palette after hearing such great reviews on YouTube about this Elf palette. I had went looking for it during the holidays and it was gone so I went ahead and ordered it online at Elf's website. They had the palette for "FREE" if you made a $25.00 purchase. So I just tried a few colors the other day and I am presently surprised the quality isn't bad. I love the fact that I have so many colors all in one palette instead of having to look for different shades in smaller palettes or single eye shadows. So far I give this a B the colors are pretty bright and you have so many to pick from the only con about this product is there are a few chalky eye shadows that you need to pack on the color if you want a true bright color also you can always use a base of your liking. I will be posting pics of me using the palette that will becoming up soon so stay tuned!
So have a great MLK day and hope to hear from you guys soon...Oxox BeautyTherapy83

Sephora Give Me Some Lip Tin

This was a Xmas gift from a good friend. I just opened yesterday I know Xmas is over and am super late but I got curious and just remembered I had received this. I love the fact that you get to try different lip products and then can decide if you want to buy an actual full size lip product. I already tried the Buxom Lips by Bare Escentuals in Leslie. The others I haven't tried yet but I am guessing they are amazing just like the Buxom Lips. I will definitely be buying more of the Buxom Lipglosses very soon. If you guys have any lip suggestions please leave me a comment. Have an amazing day!

Revlon Nail Polishes



Hello Everyone...I just purchased these nail polishes a few days ago at Rite Aid. I happened to walk by a Revlon display and stumbled upon these and I fell in love. I brought them in the following colors (top) 261 Sparkling which is a soft pink and is great for the upcoming spring season and lastly I also purchased 761 Scandalous (buttom) which is a magenta purply shade which I totally am a sucker for.They were about 5 dollars a piece but again it also depends where you are located. I have yet to paint my nails with them but I wanted to share my purchase with you guys and see if anyone has these and could share good combo ideas for these nail polishes.

Revlon Lip Butters




Hello Everyone...So I went ahead and decided to purchase a few Revlon Lip Butters. I purchased the following in these colors from left to right 015 Tutti Frutti, 045 Cotton Candy, and finally 095 Creme Brulee. They are amazing very smooth and non-drying. They come a few other shades to suit your mood. The pricing can vary depending where you are located. It can range from $6.00-$7.50 but well worth the money. They are like a light wash of color if you enjoy a lip stain I think it's along those lines. The lasting power isn't so great but the moisturizing proprieties over shadow that for me. Finally the only con I have for this product is the cap I feel like it shouldn't be so hard to pull off.


Thanks For Reading,

My Holiday Voxbox from Influenster

 I received my voxbox on Christmas Eve...these are the products that came in the box. 
  • ImPress press-on manicure by broadway nails: The only place I have seen the press-on nails is at CVS
  • Softsoap coconut scrub bar soap: Can be found at drugstores, Target, and Walmart
  • Montagne Jennesse Juiced cucumber peel off mask: The only place I have seen them around my area is at drugstores.
  • New York Color liquid lip shine Nude York City 582: It's the only product I have had the chance to try and I am in love with for the price the lasting power is ok but I am assuming that the gloss doesn't cost more then 4.00 dollars. You're getting a great bang for your buck with this one.
  • Mentos Pure Fresh Gum: Can be found pretty much any where and I have tried it before it's a sugarless gum that claims to freshen your breath.
  • Last product the LARAbar: Says its made from only 2-9 ingredients blended with just fruit, nuts, and spices. They come in 19 delicious flavors.
I will post my thoughts on the products soon...Enjoy and have a happy holiday!

My latest additions to my Mac collection



  • Lipgloss (lustreglass) in wonderstruck and love nector...These glosses are a little sticky but not bad I will most likely stick with the plushglass instead.
  •  Eyeshadow in all that glitters its a shimmery eyeshadow with a gold color (Veluxe Pearl)
  •  Lipstick viva glam gaga2 Amplified is the nude pairing to the viva glam pink that also came out. Amplified goes great with Mac posh it up on top great combo!

Target finds

I brought a few items at that I couldn't find at any other stores around me.
I am so obsessed with the liquid eyeliner by Physician Formula (Deep Brown) it last all day long. Remember everyone's eyes are different and skin as well. With the revlon lip butter (cotton candy). I can only say great things on this product. It is literally just like a balm or even better. The color selection is great and the only down side to them are they aren't sold everywhere. As for the Salon Hassen strips I haven't tried these yet, I will let everyone know soon. Finally the Milani mineral blush in Fantastico Mauve is amazing. It's a nice little hit of color for your cheeks this time of year...Thanks for reading

Sally Hansen

I have to say that I am in love with this!
The pattern was a bit much but they lasted me about 5-6 days not bad. If I had painted my nails and created the design it would have lasted me about 3 days at the most. So I will be purchasing a whole lot more soon.

Urban decay naked palette 2

It just arrived! Love at first sight.
I have played around with the palette but not enough to give in depth review. I will do swatches and take pictures soon.
