Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer

Hey girls,

Today i have a "mini" review on an awesome product - its Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer -  I love everything about it! And I have no bad things to say!

It has a smooth, creamy, mousse-like texture, it blends easily, it has a slight shimmer to it - which I love, its priced nicely at 9.99 you can't really go wrong there, Ive used it 3 times now, and have minimal/no fading and creasing, and I love the packaging - the tin is adorable! :) And the ingredients are all list on the bottom.

Onto the pictures! :)  I swatched some of my favorite concrete minerals shadows with/without the Electric Primer so you could see the difference! 

 My cute little package ♥ ^

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

Tis' the season (eotd) (& concrete minerals swatches ♥)

Helllooooo!!!!! :-)

Its Christmas eve eve! And even though I am sick as hell and dealing with some not so fun womanly things I am still in the greatest mood ever. EVARRR! Its two sleeps until Christmas! Everyone always asks me why I love Christmas soo much because when you're an adult apparently Christmas has to suck. WHY DO I LOVE CHRISTMAS???? I love spending time with my family, I love baking, I love eating great food ( we are having steak & shrimp for Xmas dinner :-D), I love Christmas music, and sailor jerrys & egg nog, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing my children's faces in the morning when Santa has to come to visit - even if we are Santa, and I had  to shell out hundreds of dollars and tedious hours decorating and wrapping - its all worth those ten minutes when your children are recklessly tearing through mounds of wrapping paper, its beautiful.

Also, something great happened this morning - when I checked my mail not only did I get my concrete minerals order, and a cute picture of my cousin with Santa - we got a Christmas card on the front there was no postage of mailing address it said "The Wiebe Family" when I opened it up the card said "I hope you have a very merry Christmas, love your secret Santa with a $100 gift card inside! I don't know who sent it or why, but i feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such amazing, wonderful, supportive friends and family! :-) Even my husband who is the king of grinches and bahhhumbugs was touched! It was completely selfless.  Sooo whoever you are, once again thank you ♥


Anywhooo that was alot to read I am sorry! 

onto makeup. As I mentioned I got my concrete minerals order I have some swatches for you! :-D

SWATCHES: ♥


Swamped, Jezebel, Kismet, Sabotage

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 :-)
