Hare Polish - First Look

I Bought This  

Hare Polish

 

Now as most of you know I'm not a huge blogger on nail polish, that being said I don't tend to purchase polishes that often. My main reason for not wearing polish that often is that I use my hands a lot at my daily job, house cleaning, taking care of animals, and video gaming (among other things).

Of course with the usage of my hands a lot I tend to only have the polish survive a couple days if even, this is why I tend to stay away from even bothering painting my nails. A few weeks back (or longer) Temptalia posted a review on an Etsy seller shop called Hare Polish, I was floored by how gorgeous and unique these polishes were and had to check them out!

Hare Polish releases collections and can get sold out pretty fast, so you may want to keep an eye on their blog site here for release updates on when they will be stocking their store. I will have a review and posts up in the next couple of weeks (I'd say this week but I'm already behind on a bunch of other posts, that being said I'll be back to normal posting now that my medical issues are somewhat better).

Jordana Cosmetics - 12 HR Made To Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencils - Review & Swatches

Press Sample

Jordana Cosmetics

A while ago I was sent some Jordana Cosmetics products to try out, I haven't ever seen them around my area so I was more then happy to test them out.

Anyway onto the photos!

My Rating:  10 out of 10 Feathers

Cost:  $2.49 for Net Wt. 1.2g /0.004 oz (price may vary depending on location)

Availability:  Walgreen's and  www.jordanacosmetics.com

Formula:  These liners are extremely smooth and easy to apply, they long lasting, and very pigmented.

The Packaging:  Standard pencil packaging.

My Final Thoughts:  The quality of these is amazing for the price, they are pigmented, creamy, smooth, and can I mention the price again? If you're looking for something that is like UD Perversion Pencil or MAC Feline Kohl Liner this is almost (if not) on par with them in my opinion.

Would I purchase again?  Definitely! You can't beat the price for the amazing quality that is almost on par with high end brands.

Short Hiatus

I'm currently taking this week off due to medical issues, Saturday the 12th in the afternoon I started having stomach pain that through the night evolved into severe abdominal pain. The pain ended up moving to the right side of my abdomen by Sunday and then by Monday I got a fever of 101.9 so my husband rushed me to the ER that following Monday.

I had to sit and wait for them to see me which in itself took what seemed like forever, when they finally did the doctor threw the possibility of Appendicitis at me and I had to be prepped for a CT Scan. I ended up waiting a couple hours before I could even have them do that which was hell from the pain. Anyway long story short it's not my appendix but it is something might still require surgery, I'm hoping it doesn't come to that because I don't want to be out that long and I hate surgery.

I'm finally not in that much pain and my fever is gone but it is still difficult to move around and the idea of swatching and taking pictures is daunting at the moment still. I'm hoping to be back into the groove of everything and able to post again in another week. I might try to post something I already have pictures of but will have to see how the motivation is and if I can avoid falling asleep.

I hope everyone is doing well, and has a fantastic end of the month!

Lime Crime - Eyeshadow Helper - First Look

Affiliate Links I Bought This

Lime Crime

I've been wanting to try out the Lime Crime Eyeshadow Helper Primer for quite some time now, finally when they changed the packaging and put it in a cute squeeze tube not too long ago I ended up caving and purchasing it.

I will have a review up and comparison swatches in the next week or two, I have quite a few different eyeshadow primers already but I can never turn down trying out a new one especially in the pretty unicorn packaging.

Affiliate Links I Bought This

Sigma Beauty

Last week Sigma Beauty released a new Limited Edition called Créme de Couture, the collection consist of 3 Blushes and an Eyeshadow Palette. Each item can be bought separately or purchased in a set at a slightly discounted amount.  I ended up picking up the full collection and will have swatches and a review of the blushes in a separate post later on this week.

Left to Right: Redberry Rose, Apricot Flower, Passion Fruit, Cherry Blossom

Left to Right: Meyer Lemon, Ginger Pumpkin, Café Au Lait, Blueberry Cream

Left to Right: Violet Whip, Lavender Honey, Cassis, Elderberry

Left to Right: Blue Chocolat, Almond Pear, Crème de Menthe, Citron Pistachio

My Rating:  9 out of 10 Feathers

Availability:  www.sigmabeauty.com

Cost:  $32.00 for Net Wt. 0.85oz./24g (16 shades)

Formula:  The pigmentation on these are really good, a few of the shadows can be a bit powdery but are still very buttery as opposed to chalky. I did have a little bit of trouble with Violet Whip, it seemed to not stick as well.

Packaging:  The packaging on this palette is compact and pretty, it'd be very easy to travel with this.

My Final Thoughts:  I really love this palette, it's pretty, compact, and the shadows are very bendable. I should point out Matte shadows are a little harder to work with compared to other finishes, that being said I did find Violet Whip was a little more difficult to work with as it didn't want to stick right off. The price though on this palette makes each shadow come out to $2 each which still isn't bad. I love the fact this palette has bright colors mixed in with some very soft pastels, it's definitely worth picking up and of course its limited edition so if you're wanting it I'd suggest picking up sooner then later.

Would I purchase again?  Yes, I am very glad I picked his up as I don't have a ton of matte shadows. It's also a very beautiful palette in the packaging and the shade range.

Look I did using the palette, FOTD here.
