Feather Hair Extensions

  So many of you probably have heard about the new fad. If not I will tell you a little about it. What is it you ask? It's feather hair extensions.  They go in just like a regular hair extensions but they are real feathers. They come in many different sizes, for instance real real short or short, medium and long.  I think the short-medium feathers look the best.  They can easily look nice in any length of hair.  There are so many different color options for the feathers also. Due to such high demand some of the colors are extremely costly though.  Also, you can wash, blow dry, flat iron and curl your hair just like normal.  They last about 2-6 months and if you want them out at anytime they can be taken out easily.  I am absolutely in love with these. They are so much fun and they add just the right amount of flair!!!! I started doing these for a few friends and family and soon after everyone wanted them.  So, if you've been debating whether or not you should get some feathers extensions put in your hair, stop. Just get them, there a must!!!!!  :)

REVIEW: URBAN DECAY'S SUSTAINABLE EYESHADOW PALETTE

Let me start off by saying how much I love Urban Decay's makeup.  It is a bit more expensive then your drugstore makeup but well worth the money.  The colors are so vibrant and long wearing. This is the Sustainable Palette. The palette is made from 100% bamboo. You get ten awesome colors, a brush, theres a minnie mirror and also a small travel size primer potion. The palette swivels open unlike any other palette I've seen. Once you go to shut it, it has magnets and clasps close.  When you get this palette this is what it will look like.

This is what the front and back of the palette looks like.

These are the ten colors you will receive in the palette.
Starting with the top left, YKD, FLIPSIDE, GRIFTER, VZI, TWICE BAKED, MIDNIGHT COWBOY RIDES AGAIN, FLASH, OIL SLICK, KIDDIE POOL & HALF BAKED.

Here are some swatches of all the colors in the palette. The picture was taken in natural sunlight. Also I applied Nyx base in white before swatching the colors.

YDK, FLIPSIDE,GRIFTER,VZI,TWICE BAKED
MIDNIGHT COWBOY RIDES AGAIN, FLASH,OIL SLICK,KIDDIE POOL,HALF BAKED.

This is the primer potion that you will receive with the palette.

The colors in this are amazing.  I think my favorite is Flipside which is the green color. I must say though if you aren't a big fan of glitter then this palette isn't for you.  It has tons of glitter. Most of the colors when applied give you a noticeable amount of sparkle.  I definitely give this a thumbs up and think everyone needs this palette in their collection.

"The Land Before Time" Inspired makeup look

So today I decided to rock my Land Before Time t-shirt.  Crazy me right.  Its a bright green shirt with Duckie's pic on the front.  So this is the makeup look that I decided to create! Hope you like it!



 How to get this look:

First I used Nyx's base in White.

I used Rimmel's Glam Eyes in "Glam Ice" for the inner corner and to highlight under the brow.

Then I used Nyx's Dramatic Chromatic Eyeshadow pigment in "Key Lime" all over the lid and under the eye.

For the crease I used Hot Topic's eyeshadow in "Kelly Green" then Nyx's black just in the outer V.

Lined the top of my eye with Elf's black gel liner.

For a more dramatic look I put Nyx's Electric Blue liquid liner on my bottom lash line.

Review: Kiss Strip Eyelash Adhesive

I wanted to do this review for all the fake eyelash lovers out there like myself!  I know everyone always swears by Duo eyelash adhesive but Kiss definatley blows Duo out of the water in my opinion.  In comparison the Duo has a much thicker substance which I feel takes forever to dry.  I love how the Kiss brand comes with an applicator which helps distribute the glue equally on the lash.  When I used the Duo I always ended up with tons of extra glue all over my lashes. (ugh what a sticky mess) lol.  Heres a few picks of what you get with the Kiss eyelash adhesive.


This is what the adhesive comes in.  You can find this as your local walmart for under $4.00!  Definately worth the price in my opinion.


The bottle is 6ml (.21fl oz)  I wear lashes everyday and this bottle lasts me a couple of months!


Doe foot applicator perfect for precise application.
