Purple Passion Nails Of The Moment

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: B3F, Nail Polish, Nail Polish: Purple, NOTM, Orly, Swatches

Here is another notm. I used Orly's Frolic. Frolic is part of Orly's Happy Go Lucky collection. Frolic is a deep lilac pastel. Here are swatches:

The application of this nail polish was really good kinda like butta! It only needed two coats. As usual I got three days of wear. On a random side note I bought this new top coat {it has no name} which will hopefully increase the wear time I experience with nail polishes. The only flaw I can find to it is that it is really dense, which makes it tricky to use. What is your favorite top coat?

Jordana Fabuliner Review

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: Comparison, Jordana, Review

Here is my review for the Jordana Fabuliner in 01 Black

Product Overview:

Availability: This can be found in walgreens. It can also be found in Cherry Culture.

Retail: This eyeliner retails for $1.99 in walgreens and $2.99 in cherry culture

Comparison: Wetnwild Mega Eyes Defining Marker retails around $3.00. While MAC Penultimate eye liner retails for $17.50.

Packaging: There is nothing special to it. Just make sure to store it with the tip downwards.

Applicator: This eyeliner has a felt tip applicator. If you do not like felt tip applicators you should skip this one.

Amount: This eyeliner comes with .054 oz.

Comparison: Wetnwild has .03 oz . MAC Fluidline has .03 oz.

Color Variety: This eyeliner comes in two shades. One is black while the other is brown

Comparison: Wetnwild only comes in one shade (black). MAC Penultimate eye liner comes in one shade (black).

Quality: In the beginning I really hated this eyeliner. The thing was that I had not stored it with the tip downwards. If you do not store it with the tip downwards it will not go as pigmented. When I use this I have noticed that it is long wearing but it will have a little fading.

Pros Cons

Pigmented Not Much Variety (Color)

Inexpensive No Waterproof Version
Easy To Use

Here is a swatch:

Here are some comparison swatches:

From top to bottom

Jordana Fabuliner, elf essential liquid eyeliner, nyc liquid eyeliner
Comparison:
The nyc liquid eyeliner has a stark black matte finish. While the other two have a shiny finish. But the Jordana fabuliner is a little darker. If you do not want the shiny finish I recommend you buy another eyeliner.

Bottom Line: I would recommend this eyeliner.

How To: Matte Lipstick

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: How To, Lipstick, Makeup, Matte

I do not if you are like me but I like to have versatility. I like having products that can give me different finishes. That is why I like doing this little trick. It turns normal lipstick with a sheen to matte and it very easy to do. Basically after you apply your lipstick you set it with regular face powder. You can do it with a brush, q-tip (this will remove a bit of the lipstick), or a puff (this will dirty the puff, but you could have one just for this). Then viola! you have matte lipstick. One lipstick I am loving currently is wetnwild lipstick in shade 510 A. It is very inexpensive. Normally it does not last but when I set it with powder (to make it matte) it lasted a really long time. The second picture is two swatches. The first one is the lipstick set with powder (I used Maybelline Dream Matte powder) and the second is the lipstick on its on.

What is your favorite lipstick?

How To Use Up An Unpigmented Eye Shadow & Make A New Nail Polish Color

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: Eye Shadow, How To, Nail Polish, Swatches

Recently I watched a youtube video on how to use up old cosmetics or products which you did not like. Here is a link to the video: JoshCollierMUA. So here are some tips on how to use up a eye shadow which does not have really good pigmentation. One of the first things to do to try to make the eye shadow work is to use an eye shadow primer. If the eyeshadow still does not show up then I suggest scraping the surface a little with a spoolie to see if it is just a problem that is on the top. If the eye shadow is still not living to your exceptions then you can just scrap some and apply it like that. You can also try to apply the eye shadow wet. If it still is not working & you still want to use it up somehow I have another little trick. Use it to make a new nail polish color. The best part it is really simple. Here is what you will need:

1. White Nail Polish (must be white)

2. Eyeshadow (can also be a pigment)

3. Tooth Pick or something to break the eyeshadow

The eyeshadow I am going to be using is from NYX in the shade Hot Green & a little of MAC Sassy Grass (I shattered this by mistake). Here is a swatch of the eyeshadow:

First you need to crush the eyeshadow and try to make sure there are no big chunks. Basically crush it as fine as you can. The reason this is important is because it will apply kinda chunky to the nail if it is not crushed enough. (I should have crushed this eyeshadow more)

Then you just need to transfer it to the white nail polish.

It must be a white nail polish. If you are to try it on a clear nail polish the eyeshadow will just settle to the bottom. Lastly shake the nail polish & viola you have a new nail polish color. Here is a swatch of my nail polish:
