Concealers: E.l.f Essentials Cover Everything Concealer in Corrective Yellow Review

Image
This concealer is a hit or miss for me. Even though I had this product for quite awhile now, I still haven't mastered using it. It seems to not have a consistent application. It will go on nicely one day, and the very next, it will look cakey and dry. I just don't understand it! Is it just me who is having such a hard time with this concealer? Rate: 2.0 out of 5.0 Price: $2.00 for 4 grams Where: Eyeslipsface.com What the company say: This rich blendable cream concealer easily covers under-eye circles and imperfections for flawless looking coverage. Simply dab concealer onto areas you wish to cover for a flawless, natural look! The safe, gentle formula is ideal for all skin types for beautiful healthy-looking skin.

Nails: Sation Nail Lacquer "Of Corset I'll Call You"

Image
This is probably my favorite Baby Pink nail Lacquer up to date. It is just the perfect subtle pink that matches with everything, and the formula of Miss Professional Nail is just wonderful, opaque, and color stays on without chipping for a good week!  Rate: 5.0 out of 5.0 Price: $5.00 Where: Miss Profession Nail's website The thing I like about this nail polish is that there is clear evidence of quality in this polish without a high marked price. It can easily be sold for $8 to $12 dollars, comparable to essie and OPI nail polishes. I am planning to do a whole blogpost about Miss Professional Nail in the future as I get more colors, but today, I will be raving about the one I have.

Lip Balm: E.l.f essential Lip Balm Tint in SPF 15 Review

Image
Rate: 4.0 out 5.0 Price: $2.00 Where: eyeslipsface.com What the company say: This lightly tinted lip balm gives the perfect flush of color for a beautiful, natural look. The Coconut, Grape, Shea Butter and Rice Wax infused formula conditions lips on contact for long-lasting, hydrating comfort. What I think: The quality of this balm are very well-worth over the price of $2.00. It is creamy and applies to the lips with the right amount of thickness (but not sticky) and it keeps the lips moisturized for a good few hours. It also have a decent tint to it as well, but is still sheer. The smell and taste of the product is yummy...a little too yummy at times.  The shade that I have is in Peach. However, it comes in four different shades. The only thing that I do not like is the packaging. I don't like it  when lip balms come in pots because it means, to reapply, you have to re-dip your finger in it throughout the day, and let's face it, our hands are not clean al...

Lip Liners: e.l.f Essentials Feather Proof Moisturizing Lip Liner Review

Image
For a buck, this is probably the best steal of the year! I would pay three times as much for this lipliner, because it works as well as the other drugstore brand lipliners who ask for 3x to 5x as much money for the same quality! This is definitely one of the few things in the essential line of Eyeslipsface cosmetics that I 100% recommend! Rate: 5.0 out of 5.0 Price: $1.00 Where: Eyeslipsface.com , Target What the company thinks: Line your lips with our velvety ProVitamin Complex? never-feathering hydrating pigments. These rich liners caress lips with naturally long-lasting color for ultimate definition. Wear alone or pair with your favorite e.l.f. lip products for a perfect pout.

What a sweet deal! Lip Gallery Creamy Color Classic Lipstick + waterliner intense color eyeliner + Deluxe sample of Life Palette = $27.50 Originally the Lip Gallery Lipstick retails at $16.50 and the Eyeliner retails at $20.00, so getting both for only $27.50 + Tax, and get three shadows and a lip color from one of the life palettes is a steal. And boy, I was a satisfied customer.

Origami Butterfly Series #2 Alexander Swallowtail Instructions

Image
Hi everyone! Here is #2 butterfly of my Origami Butterfly Series, and this butterfly model is significantly harder than the first one, which is the Traditional Butterfly . There is a lot more steps, a lot harder tiny folds, and takes a lot more time to perfect. I know this from experience. It took me three tries before I was able to complete it, and it took even more practice before I was able to perfect this Origami. 

Eye Shadow Primers: e.l.f Eye Primers: Essential vs Mineral

Image
I like both primers, they are both very inexpensive, they both work well, and they both come in convenient application packaging. I prefer to apply eye primer with a wand than any other method. However, I do prefer one over the other. Rate: Both is a close 5.0 out of 5.0 Price: Essential: $1.00, Mineral: $3.00 Where: Eyeslipsface.com , Target

Origami Butterfly Series #1: Traditional Butterfly Instructions

Image
Here is a new series that I have been wanting to do for some time now. It's simple, it's pretty, and it feeds my obsession with butterflies. I think they are the most beautiful bugs in this planet and they come in varieties of colors and sizes. This little series will also make me learn how to fold more types of butterfly origamis. There will be 10 parts to this series. I do hope you will enjoy this little series with me!  For my first post, I will start out with the simplest of Origami Butterflies, the Traditional Butterfly by Artist Akira Yoshizawa, who is considered the Grandmaster of Origami. So what better way to start off a series with a design from the Grandmaster himself. Here is the video I made on how to make this simple, but adorable butterfly origami. I will not be doing a picture by picture origami instructions anymore, because I believe that seeing it being folded, versus pictures and guessing what happened in between, will be easier to follow.
