Nail Product Review: ORLY Bonder Rubberized Basecoat

Hello folksickles. Today's review will be for the ORLY Bonder Rubberized Basecoat

Availability: You can purchase this at any drugstore that sells ORLY nail products - the pricing varies but on average this goes for $4-$13. 

Would I buy this again?: Possibly.

Notes: So given that I frequently work with cardboard I notice that my nails peel which causes my my nail polish to peel and otherwise have poor wear time. That said, I've been taking prenatal and hair vitamins lately which have really helped with the integrity of my nails and have helped them grow stronger but I still needed something to help my nail polish stay on. Now I don't find the two week claim to be true but I have noticed better longevity of my nail polishes when using this product. 

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

Makeup Geek Sugar Rush Pigment Look

Hey folks, today I bring you a fun, colorful look.

Enough blabbering, tutorial time!

I  applied the blush from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette as a base for Hourglass Nude Glow  with my Sephora Collection Pro Mini Airbrush 55.5. I also applied illuminator from the Lune+Aster Desert Moon Palette as a base for Hourglass Metallic Strobe Powder in Champagne Strobe Light using my Sephora Collection #74 PRO Small Blush and Contour brush.

As a base for my eyeshadow I applied NARS Hollywoodland Velvet Shadow Stick and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 brush.

For the crease I applied Colourpop Dynamite along with Colourpop Ooo with the Sonia Kashuk Essential Blending Crease Brush No. 273 and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively.

For the lid  I applied Colourpop Floaties on the inner and outer corners of my eye and Makeup Geek Sugar Rush Duochrome Pigment in the center using my Crown Pro C510 brush that I wet using the Physician's Formula Rose All Stay Setting Spray.

To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Inglot 353M  and Makeup Geek Sugar Rush Duochrome Pigment over Sephora Collection Let It Snow Colorful Shadow & Liner using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Pro C528 brush, respectively.

For eyeliner, I went with the Physicians Formula Eye Booster Waterproof Ultra-Fine Liquid Eyeliner in Black. For the waterline I applied Colourpop Creme Gel Liner in Cry Baby.

For the lower lash line, I applied Colourpop Hotel using my Bubbi Detail brush.

The look sans lashes. 

For lashes I used  Anastasia Beverly Hills False Lashes in Domina along with the Lash Star Beauty Visionary Eyelash Adhesive.

For lips, I applied the Colourpop Just A Tint Lip Crayon in The Strand and topped it off with Sugarpill Liquid Lip Color in Clink!.

Makeup Geek Sugar Rush Duochrome Pigment Review

 Today I bring to you the Makeup Geek Sugar Rush Duochrome Pigment

I used lune+aster Dawn to Dusk Gel Eyeliner in Black  for the black base and Sephora Collection Let It Snow Colorful Shadow & Liner for the white, the far right is this swatched wet

Availability: This is exclusive to makeupgeek.com. It retails at $5.99 for 3g (0.1 oz.). 

Would I buy this again? Yes!
Notes: I've been low-key checking Makeup Geek out for AGES and they've been on my wish list for ages too, I decided to finally give in and give them a try. I am very happy with the quality of these shadows - they're all highly pigmented. smooth and easy to blend.

Sugar Rush is described as a translucent base with icy blue and purple reflects, I'd describe this as a translucent white snow base with teal and lilac reflects, the lilac here is super subtle.

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