LOVE KILLS BOUTIQUE

I was recently a giveaway winner and got a bunch of goodies from Love Kills boutique! I just wanted to share my thoughts on these plugs! Disclaimer: I'm not being paid or was even asked to make this post for Love Kills Boutique. I just really loved the plugs she makes /.\

Bat Attack Bloody Rose plugs
 Scissors Purple Rose Black Bow plugs
 FML Teal Rose Purple Setting plugs

My furbaby Hocus loves them as much as I do!

If you liked any of these plugs go check out the wide selection of custom plugs she makes!

I got these at 1/2", I'm currently at 9/16". Thanks to the border of the plugs these still stay in place firmly and don't wiggle around! Which is great, cause if for any reason you decide to go up a size you don't have to say goodbye to your beautiful custom plugs!

They are also very comfortable and not heavy, considering they have things dangling from them! 

Plugs your holes! Check out her stuff! Hopefully I was able to help someone find some awesome alternative custom plugs!

Jolly Voxbox

I received my Jolly Voxbox complimentary from Influenster for reviewing purposes.

So many goodies came in this VoxBox!!! Let's Start!!!

My most fave. fave. fave item in the Jolly voxbox is the Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer!!! Omg this is probably one of the best lip lacquers I've tried. I mean better than the LaLacques from L'Oreal and Revlon Lacquer Balms just ugh these are soooo good! Affordable, great scent, and opaque vivid color! They also have amazing staying power! I've been trying to find more in my CVS, Walgreens and Ulta but can't seem to find them anywhere!


Next item is the NYC New York Color HD Color Trio eyeshadow. This trio includes neutral colors. Anyone can easily work with these colors since neutrals compliment every skin tone. They're soft and pretty pigmented. They have a slight shimmery finish. I love neutrals so this is a trio I'll be picking up a lot!

Ducklings Mini Rolls! These are so cute! I love them! My only complaint is that they're a little difficult to cut with scissors. Other than that I wrapped a couple of pending gifts with this cute colorfully patterned tape.


Puffs. Ok who can say anything bad about these bad boys? Winter time we all seem to catch a little cold. I currently have the flu. I'm done with my little baby travel size puffs. I love these though. Very versatile, can be used for makeup removal, drying your hands and of course for when you've got the sniffles. 


Skinny Cow candy. I loved these, before the voxbox I had never tried any kind of the Skinny Cow products. I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised! They were so good, filling and satisfied that sweet tooth without breaking the scale. Great alternative to a chocolate bar.





Thanks Influenster!

NYX ROUND LIPSTICKS SWATCHES!!!!!

I felt like I finally had enough lipsticks to do a blog about them. I love the NYX Round lipsticks. They are inexpensive and they have a large selection of different lipsticks. My camera hasn't been working so I took the pics with my iPhone. I took one pic with room lighting and the other in sunlight. I hope this helps anyone trying to find their right shade! I love these lipsticks most are creamy and opaque. All the swatches are just 2 coats of the lipstick. Some will be streaky because I only did 2 coats but you can deff. build the color on your lip. ALL THE PICS HAVE NO LIP LINER AND NO FILTER/EDITING.

Let's start!

BRUISED - Room Lighting - Sunlight - A pic of me wearing it. This is my fave shade!

Swaggable!


How many freebie or sample lovers are out there?

Are you an Influenster or BzzAgent?

Are you constantly hunting down great new products or freebies to get your hands on?

Well there's this great site called Swaggable (Clicking on the link will take you directly to the site) .

I've tested about two products they've sent me. My experience overall has been good. I've received all the samples said to be given to me. All the products have arrived in great condition. Plus, I loved the fact that they were new products I hadn't heard of before and open doors to trying new products out.

Most of their products are vegan, organic or just new brands trying to branch out.

They offer everything from cosmetics and beauty to pet supplies!

It's very easy to get started.


Clicking on the logo will take you to their how it works page!

It's a fun and easy and FREE way to try out new products and share your experiences with others (psst...this site connects with Facebook and Twitter, social networking ftw!)

Varsity Voxbox!!!!


How many college kids are stressing out since we're near the end of the semester! Yikes! Good luck to everyone with upcoming exams and projects!

I got some much needed TLC thanks to Influenster! I received the Varsity Voxbox complimentary from Influenster.

Here's a pic and quick instavid!




The Varsity Voxbox came with a Kiss Nail Dress (I adore these things!) NYC Big Bold Plumping Lip Gloss, Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash, Airheads Extreme Bites and Tide PODS detergent.
Review Time!!!!!!

If you haven't tried Kiss' Nail Dresses I would highly highly highly recommend you to give them a try. I cannot stress enough how great this product is. They are easy to use and come in a ton of different styles! I adore them I own about 5. I uploaded a quick instavid to show how to apply them!




NYC Big Bold Plumping Lip Gloss: I honestly wasn't impressed with this product. It's a good product but nothing that astounded me or stood out to me. It didn't really create a "plumping" effect for me. It was sticky and too tacky, not exactly an astounding lip gloss. A good lip gloss but not one I'd repurchase.

Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash: This "wash" didn't really do anything for my skin. I used up all 3 samples given to us Influensters and I didn't notice any significant change in my skin. The good thing is that it didn't cause me to break out but I can't really write a good review since I only received sample sizes. 



You see that bag up there? That is SUPER KAJSASLJGLAJSLG DELICIOUS! I don't usually like Air Heads but these were gummy, not too sweet not too sour just perfect! I had to repurchase them!

Tide PODS detergent: Tide PODS detergent were made for college life. Detergent in a little pod? How much easier can it get? Just throw that little sucker in and you're done. No measuring, no messy gooey detergent; perfect. BUT I notice it doesn't seem to get stains or sweat stains out. I'd personally stick to the normal detergent and take that little extra time to put sufficient detergent for my clothes. Other than that a really great idea! 
Once again thanks Influenster for the great products!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara

I received my very own Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara complimentary thanks to Influenster for reviewing purposes.




This mascara definitely shocked me...in a good way.

I love Rimmel Mascara's I own 2 and they are deff. in my top faves.

This mascara's wand is curved  like an hourglass; perfect for your lower lashes and also to get deep into the top middle section of your lashes .



Sorry for the white looking wand, I had my flash on.

I have fairly long lashes. Usually close teethed rubber type mascara's do wonders for me since they tend to elongate them even more. This is a classic mascara wand. They tend to not work on me so well but this one is definitely different. It elongated my lashes without any clumping whatsoever.


Tips: If you use more than one mascara apply this one first. It tends to clump if you use it after you already have mascara applied.

SUGARPILL REVIEW!!! Sweetheart Palette and more!

Hello! A couple of months ago I ordered a couple of Sugarpill products and a Lime Crime velvetine.
Here's the picture after unboxing. 


With my ordered Sugarpill threw in a cute glitter sticker, a bussiness card and a sample of the loose eyeshado, Stella, which I already put it in a little empty pot I had. 

Sooooo, let's go on with the review! Disclaimer: All pictures are mine*I will review these producs based off of 5 things. 1. Packaging 2. Price 3. Longevity (Durability, easily smudged etc.) 4. Colors (Vibrancy, opaque, color variety, easy to blend etc.) 5. Texture

Packaging

The packaging for all the products are extremely cute and unique. I keep everything in it's box because it's just too cute to throw away!!! Now the packaging for where the products are in is very sturdy and thick. The Sweetheart palette is pretty heavy and sturdy. If you carry a lot of makeup in your bag this would deff. add some weight to it. The packaging for the loose eye shadows are sturdy and also have their own design. The packaging for the pressed eyes shadows is sturdy and firm, I've dropped my Love+ eye shadow a couple of times and it has never cracked my eye shadow!:D

2. Price

The price is sort of steep BUT you get a good amount of product.
The Sweetheart palette is $34 and the net weight is 3.5 grams / .12 oz. × 4
Goldilux loose eye shadow is $12 and the net weight is 5 grams.
Love + pressed eye shadow is $12 and the net weight is 
3.5 grams / .12 oz
In my opinion these products are deff. worth the price.


3. Longevity 

The colors last extremely long and don't budge if you use a base, primer etc. I was scrubbing my arms trying to get the swatches off and it took a good amount of scrubbing! The colors are extremely pigmented so colors like Afterparty and Love+ sort of stained my skin. They are easily blended with other colors and you can build up the color to make it more bright and vivid or just apply less for a pop of color!

4. Colors

The Sweetheart palette
For the swatches I applied NYX's Milk as a base/primer, except for Tako, I applied Urban Decay's primer potion underneath as a base/primer :)

I love the colors! They are true to how they look on the palette! Extremely pigmented, matte, bright, vivid, opaque just wonderful! I understand these colors aren't for everyone but you can always apply it underneath your waterline for a pop of color! 


Love+ Pressed eye shadow

I used NYX's Milk as a base/primer.

This is a true red. I've never had an eye shadow that turns out as opaque and red as I want it to be, this is a MUST HAVE. 


Goldilux Loose eye shadow

NYX's Milk as a base.

I absolutely love this loose eyeshadow. It is extremely beautiful. My photo doesn't do it much justice but it is just so wonderfully pigmented. The glitter is so fine and gives any look just the right amount of sparkle. You can also build it to make it more opaque and pop out even more.


Stella loose eye shadow

NYX's Milk as a base

I love this loose eye shadow, sadly it's very hard to capture the true color it gives off:/
It has fine glitter of multiple colors like blue's and purple's. It is such a beautiful loose eyeshadow. I received it as a sample but I removed as much of it as possible and put it in a little empty pot I had:)
I will deff. purchase this! It's a great loose eyeshadow.

For better swatches or to purchase Sugarpill cosmetics click here: Sugarpill Shop

5. Texture

The texture of the eye shadows in the Sweetheart palette and Love+ are quite creamy even though they're pressed and matte. At first I thought they'd be chalky or dry but they are smooth and somewhat creamy. 

The texture of the loose eye shadows, Goldilux and Stella, are soft and well like any other loose eye shadow which has a lot of fall out. They are "dusty" but not in a bad way. They are very soft to the touch and lids.

Hope this was helpful to anyone looking into purchasing Sugarpill cosmetics
XOXO
