NYX Nude on Nude s119 Palette

I purchased the s119 palette and it is suppose to be comparable to the Urban Decay Naked palette which is $48 and sold out everywhere. This palette I purchased off Ebay for $22.50, but it sells for $25 on Nyx.com. I do not have the Urban Decay palette so I cannot compare them, but I do have swatches of this one. The palette came with 20 eyeshadows and 10 lip glosses. Also I got a free gift of a NYX jumbo eyeliner/shadow pencil. I'll have a full review once I get to try them out.

Here's an overview of the entire palette

Bottom row of shadows, they were more pigmented in person, sadly my lighting isn't the best

Top row of shadows, also more pigmented in person

Lipgloss swatch

Another lipgloss swatch, I couldn't get these to photograph well

They lip gloss consistency was so so, but I didn't buy it for the glosses

Nyx eyeliner/ eyeshadow pencil in black and baby green

Swatches, sorry they are a bit too blurry, but it was the only way to get

the true color. I was surprised how pigmented the eyeliner and shadow were.

Forever 21 Haul

A pretty big haul from Forever 21 totally $91.80 before tax. Hopefully this will be my last big haul, minus my e.l.f. one coming up in a week or so. I'm trying to be more cautious about my spending and also there is something I want to save up for. I'm looking into possibly getting hair extensions, but I am not 100% sure yet. Either way I ran out of space 2-3 storage cases ago lol, so I'd have to do major cleaning if I want to buy much of anything.

Here we go:)

I have a pair currently in navy and they are great to wear under skirts or dresses and also to exercise in.

were no longer connected, lol.

Collective Haul

Just a little haul. These items were purchased two separate days, at three different stores.

First store is Charlotte Russe:

This bracelet is originally $6 but their jewelry is mostly 2 for $8

Super cute spring-ish bohemian charms. The bird is so cute:) and the little rose.

Snake ring is originally $6 but also 2 for $8. The band is stretchy, surprisingly it fits well on my middle finger. Most stretchy rings are even too big for my thumb.

I have bones for fingers.

Next store is Wet Seal:

Lace Bandeau: $6.50

Super cute, it's a tad bit tight if I wear a bra with it. 

I went into Wet Seal for sandals but I didn't like any of their current ones.

Last store is Ulta

China Glaze: Below Deck, Sea Spray, and Pelican Gray.

All very pretty colors from the Anchor Away collection.

They were $6.50 a piece which is a bit pricey, but my Sally's did not carry them, sadly.

I actually went in there looking for the black shatter polish by OPI 

but it was sold out, it's sold out everywhere.

Polish and their swatches.

Closer swatches. 

Painting Number 2

I am starting to really enjoy my painting class.
Here is the reference I used: (photo taken by me)

After the 1st day of working on it:

After the 2nd day of working on it:

I need to darken the black in some areas, but I am pretty much done.

I like how it is coming along:) Tell me what you think.

My First Painting Class: First Painting in Progress

I was so excited to take my first painting class, even though the supplies were pricey. Here is my painting in progress.

A bit more shading and blending and I should be finished:)

Product Review: Split Ender

IT WORKED WELL THE FIRST DAY, THEN AFTERWARDS MY HAIR WAS MORE BRITTLE. I DECIDED TO RETURN IT. I DO RECOMMEND THIS WEBSITE. THEY HAVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FAST SHIPPING, BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.



Well I recently purchased the Split Ender online at AsSeenOnTvJunkies.com for $29.99 and today I used it on my hair for the first time.
Watch my video demonstrating how to use it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK2I1OOuhsg

I also have a before picture. You can see the split ends in the middle of the hair and at the end.

This is right afterwards. I will also have a picture of after I wash and straighten it as well. The right side is not damaged it is just turned upwards because of the indent from the hair tie. It looks like I just got a hair cut, but without losing the length. I know the lighting in this one is horrible, but it is a lot easier to have someone else take the picture.

Yes, all the split ends are not gone, but I think it is a whole lot healthier looking. Overtime I will have a lot less split ends. Due to over processing my hair, it became unmanageable. There are no miracles, only time and maintenance.

Have you tried the Split Ender? What did you think? Do you see results on my hair?
