NYC eyeshadows, some Rimmel and Sally Hansen

Today I have some fun things in store for you today. I have some goodies from NYC in the form of Eyeshadow quads. A cute contour palette from Rimmel, and a good ol' nail treatment from none other that Sally Hansen. 
So let's get this thing going......

 first off the nail treatment from Sally Hansen 
This retails for about $13 wherever Sally Hansen is sold. 
Sally Hansen Complete Care 7-in-1

This treatment did as it claims.... A clear polish treatment that goes on clean nails to help with brittle, dry unhealthy nails. The treatment brightens, moisturizers, strengthen, and helps promotes growth, with visible results in as little as 3 days. 


Rimmel London has new contour palettes out. I have one to show you here. This little cutie retails for around $6-$7 wherever Rimmel is sold in your area.

Blush, Bronze & Highlight 

Here I am wearing the Coral Glow palette. 
I really really like this palette. The colors wear very beautifully. They are all easily blendable. The blush is a gorgeous matte coral, the bronzer is a matte cool toned brown, and the highlight is a subtle off white shimmer. 


NYC came out with some new quads! These are toooo dang cute and the color selections are great. Each Nudes quad comes with a cream primer, a brown gel eyeliner, and a cream highlight. 
These cute little quads will retail around $5 wherever you can find NYC cosmetics.

All in all I was pretty impressed with these quads. They were super blendable, and didn't blend away. For the price point that is amazing, and well worth it. The brown gel liner was ok. It didn't ever really  'dry' but it was smooth and creamy, and went on great. The primer was awesome and I think really helped the shadows stick and stay. The cream highlighter did its job, and is very pretty. I think as an inner corner highlight it works best. I'm not real keen on a super shiny shimmery under brow highlight. 
So my only qualm would be I never have liked when packaging mixes powder and cream products because without fail I get a dark powder fallout in a light colored cream product, and it irks the bejesus out of me! Lol! 


I can't wait to see what the come up with next!
These are all definitely worth picking up and the prices are just right.

Black and Orange Halloween

Today I have a handful of fun little things from Sally Hansen, Rimmel and NYC.  Get ready for lots of black and orange. I have polish and even some mascara that I tried out. 

Starting off with the polish, I have 2 from Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel line. These retail for around $7 depending on your area. They are sold wherever you find Sally Hansen products. The great thing about these polishes are the intense high shine. I love these when I am on the go and need a very clean looking manicure. I have 2 coats of polish on in the photos below. The application was stellar and the cover is amazing!

I also have a great black polish from the brand NYC. These retail for  around $2. I find most of my NYC at Walmart. I have 2 coats of this polish on in the photo below. 
Great application and the coverage was good.

I also tried some mascara, from Rimmel and a eyeshadow crayon from NYC. 
These were lots of fun to play with. 


Rimmel Lift Me Up mascara

This is 2 coats of Rimmel Lift Me Up mascara in intense black. 
I really really really like this mascara. The lift was amazing. No clumps, no flaking, no smearing, and no crunchy lashes. I think the volume was good too. I does smell like cucumber. I'm not a huge fan of cucumber but it doesn't stick around at all. AND it's better than what most mascaras smell like. This mascara has a permanent spot in my makeup desk. This retails for around $8.50

NYC  New York At Night
I used this little chubby eyeshadow stick in the outer v, and blended like I have never blended before lol!,  of my eye today. I would say the wear is great. These shadowsticks work great as a base with any powder eyeshadow! Retails for around $3


Well guys let me know what you think and what new stuff you have picked up!!

Sally Hansen 2015 Designer shades

Sally Hansen as some out with 3 designer inspired trio collections for fall 2015. I have 2 of the trio collections for you today. 
They are all the Complete Salon Manicure line so that means they are high shine, and long lasting. They dry quickly and have great coverage. The brush on these are the wider ones so they cover more nail area as opposed to standard brushes. 
The price point on these is $7.99 each 
You can find them where you purchase your Sally Hansen products at in your area.


The Rodarte Collection 
Gold Glass, Rose Glass & Beige Glass
These 3 shades are very very sheer!
I was hoping they would be more opaque.

The colors that I have for you today are super fun and vibrant. 
In each photo below I have on 2 coats of each polish. 
These were super easy to work with and I think the coverage was pretty darned good! 
So if you are ready for some polish photo spam.... then keep on scrollin' down! 


Boho Blue, Fall Flare, Gypsy Jade & Out For Oxblood
