Affordable nails at home

Just a few years ago getting my nails done at the salon used to be a ritual of mine. When my schedule got too busy and couldn't find time to get to the salon I had to learn how to do them myself. I was never a huge fan of the press on nails since they always popped off within a few days but; with more practice I have grown to love glue on nails amongst other types of nails. These are just a few of my favorite places I like to get my nail supplies/sets that I recommend for doing nails at home on a budget! Some of my favorite glue on nails are these basic nails from Amazon! Legit so good and you get quite a few pairs. I love basics because you can wear them with almost everything and don't have to worry about the design clashing! They have so many different nail styles/shapes and colors to choose from. Shop- Other colors & styles Another place I love to buy press on nails is SHEIN. ๐Ÿ’… Legit they are so so cheap but sometimes you don't always get what you think you ordered

Farmasi Desert Sands Oasis Collection

Newly launched and I'm obsessed; especially with the packaging.  This is such a good mix of everyday neutral matte and shimmer shades; keep it simple or go bold. This has both warm and cool tones to suit all skin tones. The texture of these shadows are silky smooth and apply like butter. What I really love about this palette is the bold glitter shade, it really adds a pop to spice up any look.  The chunky glitter shade you expect it to apply more patchy than it does because of how big the glitter is but it goes on smooth in just one sweep. When packing on the glitter I like to wet my brush with the setting spray then dip it into the glitter shadow and pat to apply.  Swatches are all primer free because I know there are a lot of ladies out there who don't use a primer. I do suggest primer though as it will make every single one of these colors pop and last all day. ๐Ÿ’œ If you liked the post make sure you comment below and hit the follow button located in the upper right corner un

Farmasi BB Cream First Impression!

I've not had the chance to use the BB cream even though I've been wearing this brand for a year now. My skin tone had changed quite a bit and I needed a deeper color to match my tan; so I figured I might as well give the BB cream a try. I am an avid user of the CC cream but I wanted to compare the two and get an overall feel for both products.  What is a BB Cream? BB cream is known as a beauty balm; it has skincare and makeup all in one. This is usually a lighter coverage than foundation but tents be be buildable. BB creams cover/ blend out mild imperfections while hydrating and protecting your skin from outside free radicals.  ๐Ÿ’™Application tool- The original tool, washed hands! ๐Ÿ’™ Coverage- Medium but buildable. ๐Ÿ’™ Finish- Satin/ semi matte ๐Ÿ’™ Shade- Medium (comes in 6 shades) Left: Bare skin/ Right: Shade medium BB cream This applies like a dream and blended in with my skin tone quite well. It defiantly toned down my redness and smoothed out my skin tone while keeping it nat

The best neutrals! Lune Rose Collection + swatches

Just as promised, the lune rose collection swatches are here! I'm loving how simple this set is. The perfect nude shades that you can wear with just about anything; from an everyday simple look to a smoked out date night look. In this set you get 2 shimmer shades, 2 matte shades, 1 lipliner (shade 222) and one semi matte lipstick. Everything about this collection is gorgeous, the shades, the formula, the packaging and the texture are all high end quality. I did do a few swatches in the photos below. The shadow swatches are buttery soft and pigmented for not using a primer so I can only imagine how much they will pop with a primer base. The lipliner and lipstick apply beautifully and wear well with minimal transferring. For being a matte/semi matte lipstick my lips do not feel cakey nor do they dry out while wearing this product.  ๐Ÿ’œ If you liked the post make sure you comment below and hit the follow button located in the upper right corner under ≡      ๐Ÿ’‹All products can be found

Lune Rose Collection

Oh my gosh you guys!!!  This set is so Gorgeous...swatches coming soon since I wasn't able to do photos last night when I got it. I  just really wanted to get it out to you since it is Limited Edition and wont be around for long. The packaging is sooooo dang good; and the product application is even better. The lipstick and shadows are smooth like butter. When I say it's smooth, it's smooth all the way down to the packaging. I'm not even sure how to describe the packaging texture, maybe a silky, matte texture that you cant stop touching. These shades are similar to some of the shades in Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Dreams Come True set; this budget friendly option hits it out of the park. These shades are the perfect neutrals for almost any skin tone. This set includes four smudge-proof, long-lasting colors- from soft to intense, with a neutral shade and subtle shimmer. Pair the eyeshadow with the perfect pout; a nude pink matte lipstick and its matching lip liner. Sho
