Face Candy Couture Haul ♥


 Hey ladies!

The other day i received my face candy couture package, I ordered four full size shadows, and the lovely Shantle threw in five GORGEOUS samples of her new colors as well! I am a big fan of FCC already, and I adore all of her colors, the shadows are so smooth, and easy to blend, and have wonderful shimmer!




 My pretty package ♥ ^

The colors up close ♥ ^

 My five samples - Maggies Jacket, Adabella, Gorgeous, Demure, Sour. I LOVE Gorgeous & Demure ♥ ^ 

 My full size jars - Sudden, Grace, Calm, Romantique ♥ ^

All of the swatches with flash ♥ ^

I heard that Calm was a gorgeous cheek highlighter, so i tested it out just for fun, along with romantique because i thought it might be a pretty shimmer blush!
So in the first picture, I used romantique - i love it! but its a bit too shimmery for a highlighter! On the other hand Calm is gorgeous - my cheeks are already naturally rosy, and a touch of calm totally enhanced that! So beautiful!! ♥ ^ 


Anywhoooo - if you want to take a gander at Face Candy Couture I highly recommend that you do! the website is http://www.facecandycouture.com/ Check it out ♥

Small Haul ♥ & EOTD ♥

Hey Gals! ♥

I have a small haul for you today :) I know I'm probably the last person in the world to own this perfume but my hubby finally bought me the Ed Hardy Perfume Set I have loved this scent since it first came out, but honestly I find it hard to shell out that kind of money lol! Anyways my hubby bought me a set as a treat since we got our GST/HST credit - $300.00 extra smackaroo's! whoo! :) Soo here it is!! ♥ I LOVEEE IT


So pretty, my daughter at (almost) three years old stole my lotion right away. She loves hand lotions, Im not sure why. :P She constantly is reapplying hand lotion!

I also bought myself (nothing special) the Olay Classic Moisturizer I love it I used it like four times yesterday and my forehead is not dry and gross like it is everyday. Its a miracle.


Also, I kind of made a mini lipstick holder - not really I just took the container from a liquore chocolate set we got as a gift from my aunt. ( my hubby bites the tops off and sucks the liquor out of throws the whole thing in his coffee and stir it until it melts. I think they're gross. period.)
These are some of my lipsticks, not all - but I was just checking it out! :)It works alright except the holes are too big for glosses and I had to force the square ones in!

 Onto my EOTD ♥

 I used, GDE Family Secret as my highlight, Heavenly Naturals Admire on my lid, and Concrete Minerals Smut in my crease, and slightly above my crease. Yes I am going to get my brows done today :) Photoready foundation, 24/7 Concealer, Hard Candy Blush in Living Doll and  some Rimmel Lipgloss
Here are the swatches:

(GDE Family Secret, Heavenly Naturals Admire, Concrete Minerals Smut
Hard Candy Living Doll, Rimmel Gloss)

Thanks for looking - Sorry for all the babbling :P

Mini Mail Haul ♥ (swatches + Christmas Party Dress and New Sweater ♥

Hey ladies just wanted to make a mini mail haul post since I was really excited about it!! :-D

I recently purchased the Benefit All that Shimmers set on a blog sale, and the shipping was rather fast from the UK i didn't expect to be here this quick! I swatched it right away and the colors are spectacular!! I am in love!! IN LOVEEE I Tell you!! ♥ ♥ She also wrapped it up so nicely my kids had fun tearing into the paper!! it was awesome! :-) My daughter will be three in March but she already LOVES makeup so she was pretty excited! :-)

The colors it came with are:

- Snow Bunny - Snow Shimmer
- Punk Royalty  - Sparkling Grape
- Moon Doggie - Soft Mint

I bought this set because I have a severe addiction to greens and purples and I just couldn't help myself, and they swatch beautifully! :-) Did I mention that I'm in love? :-) I love shimmer and sparkles and green and purple! :-) I don't think the moon doggie will work out too well for me because it is so light but its worth a try.

 Packaged up all prettyy!! ^




So here are the swatches:

1) punk royalty 2) snow bunny 3) moon doggie

These swatches don't even do the colors justice! :-)

Anywhooo - onto the clothing ♥

I got these from greatglam.com  - they had decent prices and alot of unique things, that I loved - but that i would never be able to wear :-P


 So here is the dress! Its not actually this short I just slapped it on and didn't pull it down - What do you think? is it good for a Christmas Party??

 Here is the pretty Ruffle Detail! ^

And the Sweater/Tunic/Top I bought - I loved the flowers and butterflies! soo cute! :-) and the boat neck is adorable! 

Thanks for checking my blog out! xox


I would love to hear what you think! :-)

Glamour Doll Eyes Review + Swatches pt.1 (mail haul :P)

Heyy ladies,

so I got my first glamour doll eyes order today (2 more to go but I will review those ones together)  the colors are soo pretty!! :-) I am very impressed! As I mentioned in my previous post I bought three shadow towers and two full sized shadows - I have two shadow towers to review one is a 3 shade tower and the other is a four shade tower - Lorris, and Lorena Soo to get right to it!

        

PROS:

- The shipping packaging was a bubble mailer, which surprised me - ive heard of GDE    sending  shadows in regular envelopes :-S
- Shipping was fast, I was surprised
- The textures are nice, they feel very smooth on my brush
- I like the shadow towers it keeps things together, compact, and organized
- The colors are gorgeous!! ♥
- it was packaged with some cute business cards and a sticker! :-)
- She puts a * by shadows that are repackaged so you know what you are getting.
- Customer service was great.

CONS:

- I have heard that they are repackaged - it doesn't bother me too much honestly, but to some people it might matter
- I personally don't like sifter jars
- They are a bit pricey at $9.00 for a full- sized jar, I got mine on sale though so I am not complaining.
- There was no invoice, I don't care - some people might

Would I repurchase? yes! :-)
I can't wait to try the big cities collection.

Now for swatches! :-)

From left to Right - Bare naked, Chocoholic, Fabulous - I LOVE these colors, Chocoholic is fab. soo pretty ♥

left to right - Family Secret, Graves in May, Unicorn, & Urban trash - my hubby loves family secret and unicorn - he said graves in may is too old-ladyish :-P 



Thanks for looking, I can't wait to try these out :-)
