Quickie Review: Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color-Watermelon Juice

 Jordana EasyShine Glossy Lip Color is a lipstick-balm hyrbid with a dewy feel and glossy finish. Watermelon Juice is a sheer watermelon shade that applies smoothly and shows up like a tinted balm. Wears for about thirty minutes :/. Not too bad for 2 bucks I guess...

Hard Candy World Balmination Glossy Tinted Balms

             
               Bonjour! As you know, I have hauled a lot of Hard Candy lately, and these balms are among the gems (I guess?) of my little collection. I had a request from the wonderful Citrine  to review these little toys, so Citrine love, here you are! Also, I want to let you know that you can ask me to review ANYTHING available internationally in drugstore in the comments. I do not review high end unless I note specifically but if you can ask me to review any drugstore and I will see if I have it!

Here is what they look like (the one shown is Fishnet). They come in cute, clear plastic packaging that is embellished with a cute design and isn't overly bulky but nor is it the sleekest balm I've ever come across. The balm has the scent of lemon cookies (mmmm!) and the stick is completely  round without any rough/sharp edges. The thing about these is that they're SO SHEER! Vampire Bite (the red one) adds a nice just-bitten (hahaha) tint to lips but Fishnet only offers a just-about invisible bubblegum pink sheen. Anyhoo, the texture is okay, it glides on and is glossy with no actual "feeling" if you know what I'm talking about. Of course, it feels nice and cool on the lips, but it doesn't have a creamy-or-stiff type of texture. These, overall, are pretty nice balms but nothing special.

 Fishnet-pure Barbie pink. 

 Swatch.

 Vampire Bite-cool cherry that gives a sheer apple tint.

So, Citrine there you are! ♥XOXO♥

More Spy Cam: Walgreens Your Next! (Pic Heavy)

              Hi! More spy cam...hope you like it! I have hit Walgreens to catch up on some new stuff, but it all looks kinda lame all in all...

 The gem of this post-Wet 'n Wild Flora and Fauna 4-piece collections! Wow, full-size items (may I mention that I love all of these formulas/product?) for $4.99? Deal!!! Actually, doesn't the model look like a Dulce Candy clone? Lol I am seeing things.

 Sally Hansen Compl...*yawns* what were we talking about again? Oh yeah, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Mani sets.

 Look-Dream Bouncy BRONZERS!!!!! Oh yeah, and some dune-printed powders. Since I don't bronze (it makes me look like the sun burnt my skin to a glittery golden piece of toast-that was an overly elaborate description comparison...) none of this stuff looks very interesting to me.

 More (huge) bronzer from Rimmel...is it just me or the is the model sunburnt bad? That is not a good look...

 Oh yeah and the rest of the Maybelline bronzers. Excuse the mens grooming supplies underneath...

 SH Diamond Strength...the colors look pretty nice...

 Essie Sure Shot...I am not a pastel person really.

 $14 for a teeny bottle of nail polish (I usually scrub of my polish right away because I bite my nails...yes, really :p) ?!? No thank you!

 Essie Navigate Her.

 Oh boy...looks like another one's jumping on the crackle bandwagon...

 Although they do have the hugest shade range I have ever seen for crackle polishes.

 SC Castaway...and yet even MORE crackle!!!

 SC Color Block...not sure why half of it's gone cuz it just looks blah to me...

 Girls in Pearls from SC...called "the sheer shimmer collection" which I do not like the sound of.

 Essie Luxeffects.

 CG LashBlast Fusion min-display.

 Boring falsies...I learned a long time ago that drugstore lashes stink.

 Kiss NailDressed strips.

 CG What's Hot display featuring Sofia Vergara. 

 Boring FlipBlast lipsticks.

 SC Lip Shine. These would be kinda cool but I am scared off by the creepy model, boring cheap packaging, and...

 The boring, overly shimmery colors.

 SH Spring Salon Effects polish strips-which look like pure junk.

 Revlon Tres Chic-the color s   (there's only one shade) look really boring but her shadow is pretty..

 Group pic of the whole (not-so-new) Dream line from Maybelline.

Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara...their formula is terrible...

OOTD: Trench Girl + Perfect Red Lips!

             Yo girls! I am back with a supershort little post about my outfit today! Sorry I have been so slow posting lol...gotta work on that. Btw, I'm going to Sephora for my FIRST TIME EVER (!!!) next Monday and I am SOOOO excited! 


As you can see, my outfit was kind of an army-trench girl theme with a touch of sparkle in the shoes. I am the tough/girly type in between so this is perfect! 
DRESS: From She's Cool (Girls), at TJ-Maxx (belt was attached)
SANDALS: From Xhilaration, at Payless

Perfect red lips! I love how well it goes with my hair and fair/medium skintone!

Created using Jordana Cabernet lipliner as lip color and Bonne Dr. Pepper lip gloss as top coat.

Unforgettable Moments Haul!

              Hey loves! I have been like CRAZY behind on my posting lately (using the schedule gadget LOL) so I have been scavenging for stuff that I could review. So I broke out my backup beauty box, which only has a few hunks of junk in it that I rejected by a slice but kept just in case. And now, look at me, digging up this stuff that I realized is perfectly fine...

Basically, I took pics of my haul on two different days. The pics with the pink flower background were taken in artificial light but are surprisingly color-accurate for most, and the ones with the natural setting were taking another afternoon in natural light. Anyway, Unforgettable moments is one of those gimmicky-chic brands formed by Payless ShoeSource. For the kind of drugstore-sort distribution, the products are actually pretty impressive even though the packaging gets kind of old/redundant. Hope you enjoy, each product will be getting its own review under the pic. If you see leftovers of other makeup, please try to ignore them...the cream eye liners are super longwearing... <To the left is the first part of my haul.

 Eye Kit in Beachy Day. This palette is really convenient, since you can slip it right into your purse and get on the move! Although the rose packaging is quite dull, I am in love

with the under-the-sea themed shades. The cream liners are easy to apply, simply manipulated, and in gorgeous shades. The shadows include two matte and two shimmery shades, all of them being ultra lovely and super simple to apply as well as incredibly smooth and soft, silky to the touch. However, the included double-sided (one eyeshadow end, one cream liner end) applicator is not super usable, I prefer my own full-size tools.

 Swatches of eye kit (L to R)-grassy olive cream liner, navy cream liner, shimmery jade green shadow, matte navy shadow, matte stormy blackish-gray shadow, shimmery white (with a teensy trace of very pale jade) shadow.

Shimmer brush swatch (first pic, middle product in lineup)-this is a very nice product. It is a loose face powder in a container, dispensed by sliding down the wraparound glass guard and sweeping the brush over your face. The shimmer is not as obvious from a distance (luckily!) but there is a little glimmer from every angle. The texture is very nice, packaging is sturdy, overall great product! 

 The outside of the other Eye Kit in shade group Stormy Sky, which is kind of weird naming for the color selection but oh well! ^_^ 

 Open! This is identical in quality to the other one, so see first review. 

Swatches-light pool turquoise (a combination of shimmery and matte) shadow, matte-shimmery white shadow, navy-silver cream liner, deep blackened olive cream liner, matte blackened gray shadow, shimmery silver shadow.

 Lip Gloss swatch (see top pic, first product in lineup)-This has a combination smooth/sticky texture and rich, unexpectedly well-pigmented color payoff for a lip gloss. The shade I picked up (which I forgot the name of, sorry...) is a slightly shimmery, almost deep cherry red.  

 Outside of the Eye and Lip Palette in Classic Glamour.

 The palette open, displaying a mirror and six lovely colors with two applicators (I am missing the left one!)-with a bunch of waiting-to-be-reviewed goodies in background.

 Zoom in on the shadows-these have the same quality as the shadows in the two Eye Kits, scroll up to them to reread the review if you would like to.

 The lip colors-these have a cream formula that is slightly drying, excellent color payoff, and decent longevity. Pretty shades too!

Swatches-matte-shimmery white shadow, slightly shimmery silvery, metal-like gray shadow, matte blackened gray shadow (which is in every kit, seriously!), bold orangey-red lip color, slightly rosy medium-pigmented red lip color, deep rosy purple-red lip color.

Hope you enjoyed my haul and reviews, that's all for now loves! ♥
