120 palette review/code for eyeshadows

So I finally broke down and bought the 120 palette (1st edition). This little beauty is AMAZING. It's one of the best investments I have ever made! This thing has amazing pigmentation and almost every color you could ever need! I'm also making a code for all the colors too so that you can follow my tutorials when I use this palette. I'm so inspired by this little thing, I have a million different combinations that I want to try! My look that you will see following this post was created by this palette and it turned out absolutely amazing, so I can't wait to see what else I can come up with. I must say I use this palette with Urban Decay's Primer Potion so I'm sure that has an effect with how well the colors show up and last. I highly recommend this palette as long as you use it with a good primer and maybe even a white eyeshadow base. Also these shadows are incredibly soft and blend really well. I would compare them to NYX eyeshadows in quality and texture. Definitely check out this palette if you don't have a lot of money but want to create a lot of unique looks, and have a lot of colors at your fingertips!

2 of these shadows were broken, the very top right. And the 3rd from the right 2nd row up.




I added this code so that you can follow my tutorials. Each row is labeled with a letter and then each color in that row is assigned a number from 1-10. I think it's pretty easy to follow but if you have any questions leave it in the comments below.

neon orange nail polish! NYC review


Ok this is just a short review of NYC Longwear nail enamel. It is called Times Square Tangerine Creme #112. This color is bright orange/coral color. It is a creme nail polish and goes on smoothly and I acheived opaqueness within 2 coats. I also finished it with a clear top coat. The finish result is just beautiful. I love bright colors and this was a wonderful addition to my collection. I also think this would be a great fall color, despite it's bright color. It would be great paired with some darker brick reds or dark oranges to brighten up an outfit for this fall. I am completely impressed with NYC's nail polish, this one was 98 cents and it's perfect in my opinion. I hate spending a ton of money on nail polishes because it always goes bad before I ever get to finish them. So there ya go, check it out--it's a beautiful color!

L'oreal Paris EverPure Moisture Shampoo/Conditioner Review




I bought the L'oreal Paris EverPure Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner on a whim. I was looking for a new shampoo because my hair has been dull and lifeless for a long time. I seen a video on youtube where the reviewer raved about it. So I figured, why not? It's worth a try. This was the BEST decision I have ever made. It's a sulfate free shampoo, which is supposed to have benefits for color treated hair. My hair is not color treated at the moment, but I think that the sulfate free is still great for my hair. It leaves it soft, full of body and super shiny. My hair also seems to be growing faster and it just looks SO healthy. This is the healthiest I have seen my hair in YEARS. This stuff is about 6 bucks for each, and it works better then the Paul Mitchel that I used to buy. I do have short hair so I only have to use maybe a dime size for each and it works great, and will last me a long time.

The shampoo has great lather, and the conditioner is a nice thick cream, but rinses out with no residue and doesn't leave my hair looking dull or oily. I have super oily hair, and I actually think this helps keep my oil under control more!

I'm not a huge fan of the smell, especially the conditioner, it's quite a strong smell. But for the price and quality of the product, I can live with the smell! I absolutley recommend this product, even for people who Don't have color treated hair. It's amazing, go check it out!

Holy Haul It's Urban Decay! (pt. 2)



This is part 2 of my Urban Decay haul/review. This one is dedicated to my eyeshadows that I purchased. Some of them were hit and miss, and I must say I am quite sad that I still have not found my perfect purple eyeshadow yet :(. I may bite the bullet and buy one from Sugarpill (they have amazing cosmetics from what I've heard, and their purple is gorgeous!). I must also say that I am quite sad that I did not receive one of the shadow pigments that I had purchased, but I called Urban Decay's Customer Service and they were polite and apologetic and quickly refunded me the money as well as my shipping cost for the ENTIRE order. That being said, I still wish I had gotten the pigment.  Here's what I got!
