Nars Danmari All About Cheeks Palette!

Hello again girls! Today's post is on this lovely palette I finally received this morning! It is the Sephora exclusive Nars Danmari All About Cheeks Palette. This morning I got up around 9:30 opened the door to see how the weather was and the U.P.S man was walking my Sephora package up I was so thrilled! The package came with my 3 free samples plus an extra perfume sample catalog. The pigmentation of course is flawless. Though I don't own any nars blushes I have tested many at the store. In other news I recorded a collection and organization video last night. I am now trying to put it up which is a big pain in my boo-tay lol. Can I say JEEESH! You have no clue the process it has taken but now I know the pain of it and though I didn't not appreciate gurus doing videos before, it has opened my eyes a ton.So this post is also to add my new palette in my collection. if you are interested in seeing the video my youtube link is http://www.youtube.com/user/bumpkinhead16?feature=mhee and hopefully my video will be up soon!
I wish everyone a good day and night ttyl,

Huge Hair show haulage!

Hey girls! So if you read my last post I told you I have lots of posts to do since I fell off the face of the earth of blogger lol. As you can see the first one is a haul from way back in the beginning of October when my mom and I went on a trip to an Indiana hair show. The trip was so fun and it was my first hair show as a cosmetologist and my mom is still a cos student so she also loved it since it goes towards some hours to graduate. Now on to the list of lovely things I picked up and some for free!

                                                       Free stuff and samples!
  • it's a 10 gave out four free full size products!: miracle hair mask, miracle leave in product, miracle styling serum, and miracle shine spray. If you have ever used these or even seen the salon price you know how unbelievably mind blowing this was for me and everyone there.They really are miracle products
  • Then I got a ton of samples that I've already used or given away but the few I have left are KMS california free shape quick blow dry spray, Goldwell straight style sign flat marvel straightening balm, and Wella professionals Stay Firm finishing spray.

                                        Things bought for me by my mommy:)

  • Three Color Evolution 8 stack mineral eyeshadow in Techno, Lucky Charms, and Glitz & Glamour. Came with eye primer lip gloss, clear nail polish, and mineral glow in cocoa.
  • Crown brushes in c108, c417, c208, c433, and c407. You have no idea or maybe you do how stoked I was to see crown brushes. I could have got nothing else and it would have made the trip! p.s. their holiday sale right now is up to 70 percent off!
  • Hempz lip glosses in yummy scents, warm apple cider, pumpkin pecan cheesecake, coconut cream frosting, gingerbread cookie, and pumpkin spice latte.
  • The rest of the stuff was in the discounted "garage sale" area of products that were overstock for the year or being replaced..ect. Two Tigi Bedhead conditioners in Dumb Blonde and Moisture Maniac, two Bedhead lipsticks in truth and beauty, three lip liners in fabulous, black cherry, kiss smudgie, and a liner in hottie smudgie.
  • Schwarzkopf professional osis+ freeze fix strong hold hairspray.
  • Kenra super hold finishing spray.
Thanks for reading and I hope every one is having a great holiday season so far!
p.s. check out my pink hair! Also I do plan on reviewing some of these but feel free to let me know if there is anything in particular you want to see.

ILoveInglotAlot!





Hey everyone! today's post as you can tell is about this lovely Inglot eye shadow palette that my boyfriend got me for my birthday then decided to give it to me early because I'm doing well on my diet! I have to say Inglot is everything I expected, awesome! Since I showed pictures of them on me I didn't do swatches but if you would like just ask! I used every color in this palette besides the first one, its just a matte nude color.Other products used were UDPP and NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk. The shadows I have are :
  • 355 matte-Cool tone light matte nude color.
  • 393 pearl-Warm tone pearly highlight.
  • 60 AMC- Not too sure what amc stands for but its a sparkly bright yellow.
  • 382 matte- Very red toned hot pink could go either way.
  • 504 DS- Again not too sure what DS means but sparkly blue turquoise color.
Pros:
  • Pigmentation- amazing all of them are very pigmented.Even the matte shades you only need a little but and you don't have to dig into it.
  • Price-In my opinion the price is a steal. You get 2.7 grams of product for 5 dollars. To compare the quality is the same as MAC if not better in my opinion where you get 1.5 grams for 15 dollars.
  • Packaging-I personally think the packaging is awesome. My boyfriend made fun of me for playing with it so much and I was like well its the James bond of eye shadow palettes lol. Also since the freedom palettes are magnetic you can stack them. I can't do that yet, but I definitely will be.
  • Color selection-For the freedom system the are around 209 and that's not counting the shadows you can get from the regular line.
  • Finishes- All the finishes are true to what they are supposed to be the mattes are matte and the shimmers go on with the shimmer still in them. The pearl shadow I have is so pearly I love it is definitely my favorite new highlight.
Cons:
  • Website-The way things are set up aren't very user friendly. First you go to Inglot.com then you have to hit shop online even thought they have tabs for makeup on the first page. Also there is a tab for a freedom Guide and it just shows an eye shadow going into a palette. Since I watch videos I know what the freedom system is but if I didn't there site would be no help. When selecting shades there is a nice automatic calculator but if you happen to miss that one shadow is out of stock it clears all the shades you selected which, is very annoying in my boyfriends words lol.
  • Arrangement- Putting the shadows in was very easy but on the other hand getting them out is a hassle and you have to be super careful or they will break.
  • Fallout- While they are very smooth if you aren't careful to tap the brush there is a bit of fallout from picking it up on your brush creating a lot of "shadow dust" you could call it.
All in all this product is amazing and well worth the price! I hope this was helpful, bye!
p.s. I forgot to add I wish they had names instead of numbers. not a huge deal though
