Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Inglot Eyeshadows: 106R, 353M, 490M, 461DS, 434P, 119R, 433P, 109R, 415P, 114 R

Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to declutter a bit  I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag. 

These are the looks I created this month:
So as you can see I created all sorts of colorful looks with these shadows. I personally have found that these shadows are easy to blend and the pigmentation on them is fantastic. All of them work really great, in my experience, with the exception of the darkest green and darkest purple in the trios, which can be a bit stubborn when it comes to blending and softening them out sometimes (I'm sure you can see that in the above photos). 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer: I purchased this palette myself.

Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Sugarpill Capsule Collection C2 - Orange Edition Palette

Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie.

You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:
So as you can see I created all sorts of colorful looks with these shadows. I personally loved playing with these eyeshadows, they're so beautiful, pigmented, and easy to blend. They all play nicely with one another. This palette was just truly a pleasure and so much fun to play around with, I didn't want to put it away. My only issue with it is that, due to its shape, which aesthetically looks really cool, it's difficult to store and is prone to falling over, which makes me worry that over time the eyeshadows will break.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Nail Polish Review: OPI Heart and Con-Soul Nail Lacquer

Nail polish: OPI Nail Lacquer in Heart and Con-Soul

What the brush looks like:
My nails with 3 coats of polish, all nails have inm Out the Door Topcoat for Nails on:
Availability: This retails for around $5.50-$14 and can be purchased at drugstores that carry the OPI brand along with opi.com and amazon.com.
Would I buy this again?: Possibly.

Notes: This is described as a vivid red polish. I feel like that's such a weak description for what this is. I'd personally describe it as a metallic warm red with a golden red pearl. On the nails, this wore really well. I had it on for a week wherein I painted my nails on a Tuesday - there was some visible wear around the Friday mark, by this I mean that it started to wear off around the tips of the nails. I noticed there was a bit of chipping on Saturday which continued to get worse over the course of the weekend. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
