The eyeshadow were each $1.00 and the Bouncy Blush was $1.99

As for Walmart I got two Wet n Wild single eyeshadows in the colors Sugar (white) and Trashed (black) each $1.98. I also Got a Wet n Wild Lipstick in the color Black Orchid for $0.98 and a blush in the color Heather Silk for $2.98. I also picked up a Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation because I had gotten one before that was too light for my skin so hopefully this one works. I think the foundation was $4.97.

Shany Cosmetics Haul!

I made my first Shany Cosmetics order and I am very happy! I had been wanting this makeup set for a while and then I saw a few youtubers use it and I was instantly sold! I went onto their site with a coupon which took $10 off of my order so I got this set for only $48 with the coupon (original price $98!) and free shipping! I was very happy and I am in love with this set! It has everything you need, four eyeshadow palettes, one lip palette, concealer palette and a blush palette. The pigmentation and texture is amazing as is the staying power! Their shipping was fast considering I live in Missouri and they shipped from Texas. They also included so many samples with my order and I will definitely order from them again. So onto the pics of what came in my order.

Forever 21 88 Eyeshadow Palette!!


Yup! Ya heard (or read)! Forever 21 has an 88 eyeshadow palette!! I went to finish Christmas shopping with my sister this past Sunday and we stopped in at Forever 21 and they had such wonderful makeup which a lot of it caught my eye but I decided to bring this one home with me because I am a sucker for eyeshadow palettes. Now this palette is just like the other palettes that you see, your typical matte black case. It has the love & beauty emblem on the bottom right hand corner in gold. If you smell the palette it has that powdery scent that some cheap eyeshadows have, not the chemical smell that most 88 eyeshadow palettes, so I prefer the powdery scent to the chemical smell. It is also Cruelty Free!! Yup that is right, so maybe they specifically made this palette for themselves instead of ordering them from a big wholesale site? It retails for $14.80 which I think is a pretty good price. It feels pretty nice like any other 88 eyeshadow palette you would get from Coastal Scents or the sort. I personally like this eyeshadow palette, the eyeshadows are pretty pigmented and you get a nice array of shimmer and matte although the matte ones have a bit of glitter but nothing that would be visible. It kind of disappears as you blend the color. I personally recommend this palette. It's a nice little gem! :)


 Hope you guys enjoyed this and you guys go out and get it so you can try it out! Thank you for reading!

FOTD: Snow Sprite :)

It seems like I have not done a FOTD in a while.. :( So here is one!! 
I hope you guys enjoy it. I've had this palette and never really tried it, only swatched and I was feeling green so I decided to give it a go and I LOVE it!!! I love how it turned out and it being Wet n Wild you best believe the shadows blended perfectly and are very pigmented! I love this look! So onto the steps after some pictures! BTW the palette I used is the Limited Edition Holiday palette in the shade Snow Sprite.







Steps:
1. I primed my eye first with my ELF $1 primer and then I took this LA Colors Jumbo Eye Pencil in the color Limeade and placed it only on my lid and blended it a bit so there isn't that much product because if there is too much of the product you could get creasing.
2. I then took the lid color and placed it on my lid leaving a bit of empty space on the inner part of my eyes.
3. I then took the crease color and carefully blended it into my crease and up a bit above the crease focusing the majority of the color in the outer V so you get a nice smokey color. 
3. I then took the tear duct color and placed it in my tear duct and a little bit on the inner part of my lower lashline.
4. I lined my eyes with black liner and used a black color to set it and then used the crease color to smoke it out using a pencil brush. 
5. I then lined my upper eyelid with Maybelline Eyestudio in Blackest Black.
6. I added a few coats of Maybelline Great Lash Mascara.
7. I used my Maybelline SuperStay foundation and then set it with my Neutrogena Skinclearing Mineral Powder.
8. I forgot to put it in the picture but for my contour I used the ELF Healthy Glow Bronzer in the shade Matte Bronze.
9. I finally finished it off with NYX Mosaic Powder in Love.
 10. For my eyebrows which I also didn't picture is just a color from my 88 warm palette and just a brow brush.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you guys enjoyed this look and if you happen to have this palette you try this look out! Have an awesome night, an awesome Christmas Eve, awesome Christmas and if I don't get on here before, an awesome New Year's! 
XOXO
