Maybelline The Rock Nudes Palette Review and FOTD

Hello Everyone!

I was really excited to get my hands on Maybelline's The Rock Nudes Palette! I found this at my local Walmart for $9.98. If you follow my blog, you probably have noticed that I'm a major fan of these palettes, so I just felt it was appropriate to add this to the collection to make it complete lol. I know some of you wanted me to review this palette, so let's get the review started!

My Thoughts

I can say that Maybelline came up with a really good theme for this palette with The Rock Nudes. The navy and black shades really give this palette life with it's edginess. This palette truly has all the shades to bring out your inner Rockstar. Since this palette does have a lot of darker shades, I think that Maybelline should have released this palette during the Fall when most makeup lovers like to wear darker eye makeup. As a makeup lover myself, I'll wear dark eyeshadow anytime of year though!

Out of all the Maybelline Nude Palette Collection this one has the best sponge application brush. I typically don't use the application brush in thee palettes, but this one works pretty well. I also like how it's easy to blend the shades in the palette, and fallout is minor.

The major complaint I have with this palette is the lack of pigmentation with the some of lighter glittery shades. As for the darker shades, the pigmentation is alright. It's a shame because those glittery shades were some of the shades that drew me to wanting this palette. Even with using m NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in white and the NYX Eyeshadow Base in White, the glittery shades still didn't really show up all that well. I tried using a wet brush and that helped the shades show up more including the glitter shades. I have to be completely honest here, this palette isn't a must have.
I'm glad that I have this palette in my collection,
but I wish the performance was better. I'm going to continue use this palette and I love the colors, but the pigmentation isn't all that great.

Manicure Monday: Zoya Nail Polish in Carey

Hello Everyone!

I can't remember the last time I did a manicure Monday post! Last night I redid this manicure that I've been wearing since last week. I got this Zoya polish in my Fab Fit Fun box

Last week was my first time using a Zoya nail polish, and I really like it so far! I didn't notice any chipping until around the fourth day I had this polish on my nails.

I used the Sally Hansen Clear polish as a base coat and I painted one of my nails on both hands black using Sally Hansen Black Out

This morning I saw where Zoyanailpolish for  liked my recent manicure on Instagram! :) Thanks!

Collective Spring Haul

Hello Everyone!

I really didn't expect my recent shopping trips within the last month at Walmart to turn into a collective haul lol. You ever just go to the store and realize that you ran out of products all around the same time? I must say that I'm really proud of my local Walmart because for the first in ages, they finally had a lot of the items I wanted in stock! This post is picture heavy!

Bath and Body

I  decided to switch things up and get Caress. I forgot how much I used to love this body wash and it smells wonderful!

Some of my favorite lotions

I picked this up Vaseline Intensive Care when it was on sale at my local CVS about a month ago.

Haircare

I really like how soft and moisturized these products feel on my hair.

Beauty Products

Nail Care Items

I heard good things about this product, and since I wanted to switch up my primer I decided to get it.

So happy I found Maybelline's The Rock Nudes! It was the last one lol

I did a review on the Maybelline Dewy Skin foundation last month, but I also wanted  to try this Fit Me Matte+Poreless

I've been wanting to try these two products for the longest time!

Love this lip balm!

A few Sally Hansen Nail Polishes

Cute pair of wedge flip flops

Random Selfie at Walmart lol 

These were a few items I got over Easter Weekend from Kohl's, CVS, and Walmart. You've probably seen the Milani Lipstick in my Milani Cosmetics Haul. I'll link that at the end of the post

If you love this perfume as much as I do, you'll upgrade to the bigger bottle lol

I hear Eco Tools had pretty good brushes and I needed a Fan Brush and a new Powder Brush

I finally found The Fit Me Matte + Poreless Pressed Powder! I just picked another mascara as well.

Red Lips for Selena

Hello Everyone! 

Today (March 31st) is the 21st anniversary of Selena Quintanilla death. You may have seen the hashtag #redlipsforselena around social media. Well today I wanted to show my reds lips using my new Milani Ruby Valentine lipstick.

I was only 9 years old when Selena died, but I've always admired her and her music. If you're wondering yes, I do have the movie Selena on DVD Staring Jennifer Lopez. I also can't wait for MAC to launch their Selena makeup collection. If you were unaware MAC announced this news last Summer.
