SUGARPILL COSMETICS! LOVE 'EM!!!

I have been wanting to order Sugarpill Cosmetics for a while now but I kept pushing it back...until NOW! I am so glad I did because it is nice to buy products from someone that has the same passion for makeup! Well Amy, Sugarpill's creator, started this company and has control over her products which is amazing because everything seems to get so water down when it hits mainstream! She created such amazing products and its so inspiring!

The Packaging of these products are amazing! You can tell that this product line was made with a lot of thought and care! Very attractive packaging and full of color! What I liked even more is it is so personalized to the customer that it makes you feel special for ordering their products! I couldn't stop smiling when i got my package! I know im a dork! The little details like on my receipt Amy wrote "Thanks Alexie Rae!" signed from Amy. Made me very thankful for ordering her products! And will keep ordering because the customer service is sooooooooo wonderful1 Which i think A LOT of companies are missing these days!

I bought 2 4-Pan Eyeshadow pallets which are called:

-Bruning Heart: e/s colors(starting from top left) - Flame Point- orange color, Buttercupcake-yellow color, Love + -red color, Poison Plum- purple color.

   -Sweet Heart: e/s colors(starting from top left) - Dollipop- blue color, After Party-white color, Midori-magenta color, Tako-green color

 

Let me try to explain how wonderful these eyeshadows are! Each one is highly PIGMENTED! After swatching the first pallet I had to use makeup remover AND makeup cleanser to get the colors fully off to swatch the next pallet. Thats without a primer! I was shocked and excited. Also its not powdery so that when you have it on your brush it becomes sheer, there is nothing sheer about these eyeshadows!  I LOVE HIGHLY PIGMENTED PRODUCTS!!! 

Go a head a check out the website and find out more info about this product! Plus Sugarpill has become the official makeup brand for HELLO KITTY 35TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! What a wonderful honor! I am a sold customer to this product and highly suggest people check it out! Bright Vibrant Pigmented colors! IM IN LOVE!  hehe

I hope you take my advise and add this wonderful Makeup line into your makeup collection. You will not be left disappointed! These are my thoughts and opinions and want to share! Have a beautiful day! STAY BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT!

GLAM ROCKS NAILS

A trip to walmart the other day had me excited for a new nail fix. While browsing around the cosmetic area I found two new finds that I have wanted to try out and add to my Manicure box. A nail thickener and a quick-fast drying nail polish.

A thickener help your nails become stronger and helps protect them from nail polish. You can use it by itself or as a base coat. With the help of constant up keep of your nails, the stronger and healthier they will get and a bonus: longer nails! We forget that all the filing and nail polish we put on our nails break them down and i think a thickener with great ingredients help the condition of our nails, specially if you have brittle and easily chipped nails. Thickeners act like a glue AND a base coat for pigmented nail polish. Thickeners can be worn alone and give your nails a nice shine or you can use as a base and i have already found using it as a base is great! You can find nail thickeners in any drugstore or beauty supply stores. Try and see which one you like!

My second product i bough was Sally Hansen Insa-dry anti-ship top coat. Which I will be honest, had NO faith in UNTIL i tried it out! After trying it out I was amazed. Try it and be shocked. After letting you nail color dry for about a min. or like me, I wait until all layers a dry, apply this top coat and let dry for about 30 sec or so and TAADAAA...NAIL POLISH IS DRY AND SHINNY! I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!

The polish I used is a color I also got a walmart ORLY "GLAM ROCKS" a matte color
Easy to apply and fast to dry!

So before I give myself a new polished nails, I try and use a conditioning nail polish remover but if I don't have one any nail polish remover can be used.
ALWAYS remember to file your nails in one direction, avoid doing a seesaw motion. Seesaw motions while filing leaves the edge of our nails ridged and makes our free edge of the nails easily broken.  After filing I like to use a cuticle softener to push back the cuticle and clean them up.

Now your ready to polish...

• Apply a nice coat of Thickener on your nails and let dry. You can leave it by itself but if you addicted to nail polish like me, then use it as a base coat.
• Apply whatever color you like, today i used Orly "Glam Rocks". its a matte color but i added a polish over it to give it a shine. Let the nail polish dry before you apply a second or third coat.
• Finishing the look I used Sally Hansens "Insta-Dri anti-chip to coat. 

I do this at least one a week or if the polish lasts longer once every two weeks. I personally would like to do this more often and think I will be able to now that I have Insa-dri, I hate waiting for my nails to dry! LOL! I hope these product helps anyone that like to keep their nails healthy and pretty! enjoy and stay beautiful inside and out!!!
