Twinsie Tuesday: Revist

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose


Today we are revisiting a theme that we either missedor simply wanted to redo. I went back a few months and picked a theme that was A) easy for me to do and B) was before I was a Twinsie :-) Any guesses??

Anyone? Anyone?



You might have guess HOLO and you would have guessed correctly, lol. I took the easy way out and am showing you a few Glam Polishes. Glam Polish is one of my favorite indies as of late; their holos are fantastic, the formulas are just about perfect, and I just love them super hardcore.

Nicest Kids In Town is a beautiful emerald green holo. This was 2 perfect coats and believe me that this is much more stunning in person. The holo was just like... bam. Gorgeous.




Go check out the rest of the twinsies to see what they are revisiting!

Makeup Monday: Dior Addict Lip Glow - Review!

Hey guys!

Press Sample Affiliate Link

Today I have a review of the Dior Addict Lip Glow! This is a little bit interesting: this balm claims to enhance and beautify the natural color of your lips. As the color reacts to the unique chemistry of your lips, it will look different on every skin tone. These types of products fascinate me! I was so excited to try it out and see how it would look on me!


I love the packaging, it's very sleek and sturdy.


The product itself is a sheer pink color but applies as a clear balm. It smells DELIGHTFUL, like vanilla mint!


This is a picture of my bare lips. I was trying not to smile to not change the color of my lips so you get some RBF instead, lol!

This is the balm on my lips, immediately after application:


This is the balm on my lips after about 10 minutes. I wasn't sure how long it would take to see any difference in color so that's why I waited about 10 minutes.


As you can see, it didn't change much. However, it's still a nice balm to wear; it feels moisturizing. I think this is perfect for throwing in your purse and slapping on whenever you need a little bit of refreshment on your lips! Also... the smell. It smells lovely. Vanilla Minty goodness!

Stardust Polish Week: Lovely Lilac, Blue Skies, and Gnome Made

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

As we come to the final day of our little Stardust Polish Week, I'd like to ask if you enjoyed this? Is there a particular brand that you would like to see featured for the week? It doesn't have to be an indie, but if you have one in mind, please let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate that request :-)

Today, I am bringing you polishes that are sadly no longer available from Stardust Polish. Sorry to do that to you but I had to show you these beautiful babies!

Lovely Lilac is a beautiful lilac holo. The holo in this is not very strong, it's more of a glitter but the color is just beautiful. I did two thin coats with topcoat.

Gnome Made is one half of the Gnome Box that Drema and Rica from Just Rica release monthly. This is a medium blue jelly with pastel blue, green, and purple circle glitters and some green hexes. 3 coats plus a top coat.

Blue Skies is one of my all time favorite Stardust Polishes. It's a gorgeous tealish, aqua-ish holo, it has a perfect formula, and I mean.. LOOK AT THE COLOR! The first picture is without top coat, the second is with topcoat. 


So I hope that you guys enjoyed this Feature Week! Like I mentioned above, if you have a brand or feature that you would like to suggest, please let me know!

Stardust Polish Week: Goldilocks Zone & Peach Blossom

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Stardust Polish Week continues with two more beauties from Drema.

Goldilocks Zone is a deep gold linear holo. This was perfect in two coats and had a really nice formula. I really love this color, it's so rich and cozy!


Peach Blossom is a peach linear holo. This was opaque in two coats which was really surprising for such a light color. Very pretty! The holo effect isn't as strong in this polish but it is still a really lovely color.

Stardust Polish Week! Shipwrecked, Plundered Treasure, Stormy Seas

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Welcome to Stardust Polish week!! I decided while I was swatching last week to throw in a week of some of my favorite brands every now and then. Hopefully you will enjoy Stardust Polish Week! (Twinsie Tuesdays will continue as whatever brand I had already used for the prompt).

Shipwrecked is a medium tan linear holo with gold shimmer. This was opaque in two coats and I did not add topcoat.



Plundered Treasure is a light teal crelly with gold glitter. This was 3 coats plus topcoat. I love the teal and gold combination in this polish, so pretty.


Stormy Seas is a dark blueish grayish jelly with blue and green micro glitter. This is a jelly so it will be sheer on the first few coats. Next time, I will layer it over a darker color just to save some steps. I used about 3 and a half coats here, plus top coat.

Twinsie Tuesday: Neon (Mod Lacquer Electrified Swatches)

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 5 of the Mod Lacquer Electrified neon cremes to share with you today! All of these were 2 coats, for the sake of not having to repeat myself 5 times, lol. And this is a cheat because it's our prompt for Twinsie Tuesday today!

Accelerate is an orange yellow creme. (This was 3 coats).

High Powered is described as a watermelon neon and yes, that's exactly accurate, lol.

Motivate is a BRIGHT bright magenta pink.

Prime is a brilliant blue.

Stunned is a vibrant green.

So yeah if you want so supah bright neon polishes, definitely check out Mod Lacquer. These all had really great formulas and are probably some of the brightest neons that I own!!

Makeup Monday: NYC HD Automatic Liner

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Yay a makeup Monday post! I have been slacking on these, I know. But I have one today so let's get to it.

I received 4 of the NYC HD Automatic Eyeliners to share with you. These are an extremely affordable drugstore eyeliner option and they have a smudger on the end to help smudge your eyeliner. AND the eyeliners work really well! Let's get to pictures!

In all of these pictures, the eyeliners are swatched without primer. The top swatch is one swipe and the bottom swatch is a few swipes to build up the color. These apply like a regular matte eyeliner.

Navy Blue


Deep Brown


Turquoise (this guy has glitter in it!)


Deep Purple

These were really easy to use and lasted throughout the day. I will say that I didn't care for the smudger, as it basically removed the eyeliner, instead of blending it. However, that did come in handy when I went a little haywire with one of my liner wings, lol. I just used the smudger to remove the mistake! Voila!

These eyeliners retail for $1.99 and are available at mass merchandisers nationwide. There is also a black color available!
