Festival Ready Makeup Feat. BH Cosmetics Weekend Festival Palette

Hello Everyone!


BH Cosmetics released the Weekend Festival Palette about two months ago and I had to have it in my collection. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and very pigmented! You probably won't be seeing me at any outdoor festivals since it's extremely hot in South Carolina during the Summer, but that doesn' mean I can't create a makeup for the occasion right lol?! Side note I made the flower crown specifically for this palette.

Products Used




I used NYX Eyeshadow base in White to prep my lids.


I really wanted this makeup to be colorful so I used Swag in the tear duct and Ripple on the lid. I blended the two colors into each other.


For the outer v, and in the crease I wanted to use a bold color, so I went with Trance. To balance out the colors I went for a soft nude lip.

I don't have anything negative to say about this palette that' much I love it! The quality is amazing (with a small amount of fallout), and the colors last majority of the day. As you see from my swatches the colors are highly pigmented. I took the picture of the swatches with the flash on my camera to show the true color of each eyeshadow. I used a white primer on my lids and it made the colors that more intense. Since this was a festival inspired color, I went for a bright colorful look. The colors applied and blended so well as I created this look.

My Life in May 2018

Hello Everyone!


It's time for another monthly lifestyle! I wanted to get more posts up this month, but life happens. Between being busy and dealing with continuous allergy issues before I knew the end of the month was here! Well praying for June to be different (not that May was terrible). My long overdue makeup haul is coming (see my Instagram for a few sneak peaks). I'm actually working on that and other upcoming posts. Well enough of rambling and let's get started with today's post!

Selfies


It was hot and humid the day I took this picture, so I'm only wearing lipstick


I made the flower headband I'm wearing. I wanted to switch things up when I made this headband.


Classic red lipstick


Mother's Day 2018


All for the gifts for the 
wonderful woman I call mama :)


No amount of gifts can ever show I much I love and appreciate my mama. She was so surprised and love her gifts. She enjoyed her Mother's Day. 

Foods


When I don't feel like making a homemade pot pie, I'm glad KFC has pot pies.


Krispy Kreme


I was told my glazed donuts were hot. Obviously they were NOT hot (or the other two donuts)


I haven't had Fazoli's until recently. The baked spaghetti I had was pretty good. I typically like to cook my own food, but this month I ate out a little more since I haven't been feeling well from allergies.


Loaded baked potato with chives


This dish is similar to the baked italian chicken dish that I make. This dish is italian baked boneless pork chops, broccoli au gratin rice and peas.

Miscellaneous


OUCH!! This is how I started off the first day of May.  I hurt my hand and my wrist so I had to wear (and still wear from to time) a brace.



Beautiful days in Sunny South Carolina 


Another local Bath & Body Works . I just went into the store to browse the new collections.



Coming soon. My new vanity. It's already assembled. I just need to get everything in order. Look for that post in the upcoming months. 


New Foundation lol


A mini haul. I'm unsure if I'm going to the SAS since I don't need anymore candles, but I would like to check out the body care items.

Zoya Kisses Collection

Hello Everyone!


* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Samples provided Zoya Nail Polish for review purposes. I would like to thank Zoya Nail Polish for sending these products. All opinions are 100% my own.

What better way to embrace the beauty of Springtime than with spring inspired manicures? Today I wanted to share Zoya Kisses Collection. These pastel jellies are perfect to wear for the season!








Vickie and Libby




I think that Zoya did an amazing job with choosing the colors for this collection. I love all the colors! Even though pink is my favorite color, Leia is definitely my favorite polish from the Kisses Collection. Leia is a topper, but it can also be worn alone. I get so many compliments when I wear Leia! These are jellies, so the formula of the polish feels a little thicker than a regular polish. I'm not new to wearing jelly polishes from Zoya, and the wear time is pretty good. I didn't notice any chipping until the 5th or 6th day with the polishes.


Zoya has a lot of nice collections on their site, including Sunshine Collection (Summer 2018)
