Nails of The Week (#1)

always use a base coat, i like using this as a base coat since it  suppose to help nail  growth

Sinful Colors nail polish (purchased at Rite Aid about $1.99)
used one coat of this color


Sinful Colors ($1.99 Rite Aid)
about 3 coats of the glitter polish


Kiss nail polish to right is what i used as a top coat





 My thoughts on the nail polish (Sinful Colors) brand: For about $2 you get some very nice nail polish, for regular nail polish i only need one to two coats, glitter nail polish usually needs more than one coat. But ive used this brand before and i love it. Affordable with a variety of colors.
Overall Rating : 4/5

Product Fail: Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

Product Fail: Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

                                                      (this is not the waterproof one)

(the brush is the rubber kind)

This was a product fail for me.
 It claims to be a full volume and curve mascara but it did nothing for my lashes but make them black shade (my lashes are blonde/red/light brown). 
On the bright side this mascara does not clump the lashes and it does separate them, so i did love the brush. Also im a big fan of rubber brushes.
Another good this about this mascara formula is it does not smudge on my top or bottom lashes but again it did nothing for them as far as curling/lengthening goes. 

One big thing that attracted me to this mascara was the packaging because it was purple lol i know what a sucker for packaging lol.

You can find this at drugstores as well as Target, Walmart. etc.
Price: $5 & ^up (prices may vary by store and location)
Overall Rating: 2/5

My final thoughts: I want to try the waterproof one because the waterproof mascaras usually work better for my lashes. I've tried other Rimmel mascaras and have came to the conclusion the non-waterproof kind do not work for me. 

Disclaimer: mascaras work differently on everyone so just because it was a fail for me does not mean its a fail for you.

Review: Wet N' Wild Lipsticks (black tube)





Wet N' Wild Lipsticks (black tube)

*How much does it cost? Retails for about $2.99
*Where can you purchase it at? Rite Aid
* What kind of finish do these lipsticks have? a matte creamy finish
*How long does the lipstick last? 4 hours of wear (about)
*How pigmented are these lipsticks? very pigmented
(*911 D) is a red shade, (*905 D) is a darker pink rose, (*900 B) is a peachy nude

these lipsticks have a rounded edge which for me makes it a bit harder to apply on my top lip

(without flash)

(with flash) (From left to right: 900 B, 905 D, 911 D)



*911 D (to the left), is a very nice red shade that can possibly go with
any skin tone. (nothing was applied under/over the lipstick)











*905 D is the darker rose shade below, it might look better on lighter to medium skin tones but it does not mean that other skin tones cant pull it off. (again nothing was applied over/under the lipstick)

*900 B is a peachy nude, is a drying lipstick so if you have dry lips it will make them drier, applying a chapstick before the lipstick can help, also this might look better on medium skin tones (again this does not mean that lighter/darker skin tones cant wear it, im light and i wear it) in addition in the photo nothing was applied over/under the lipstick


ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND, YOUR SKIN TONE AND THE COLOR OF YOUR LIPS CAN CHANGE THE WAY THE SHADE OF LIPSTICKS LOOK ON YOU, SO JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS ONE WAY ON ME DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME ON YOU.



*overall thoughts: the pigmentation on these lipsticks are amazing i love it! you cant beat the price. the only thing that bothers me is that the lipsticks are round so it takes a few more seconds to apply to my top lip, its not a big deal but its something that i do think of while applying. overall i would rate these a 4/5 (4.7/5) if you want to get technical lol i love these lipsticks!
