Ballin on a Budget: Ruby Kisses Luxe Shadows & Palette Swatches

Ladies and Gents Ruby Kisses has decided to jump on the pigmented shadows for cheap bandwagon and has not only come out with a line of shadows but get this a pop-out style palette similar to the new Urban Decay 4 shadow palettes. The palette itself is a very sleek design made of quality acrylic or plastic. I' not sure which one it is exactly. What I do know is these shadows are very pigmented for their $0.99 - $1.29 price tag, the empty palette retails for $2.99. So 4 very pigmented shadows and a sleek palette to store them in for $6.99 total isn't bad at all. 

So let's get down to the deets of the matter. How do these babies perform? I must say that these are very good quality shadows. No they are not buttery smooth like Urban Decay shadows (and you can't expect that for the price) but they are better quality than my Coastal Scents 120 two palette. That palette has pretty bad fall-out, these shadows gave me no fall-out whatsoever. They are not chalky or powdery at all. I am very pleased with these shadows overall. Peek below for swatches.

MAKE UP FOREVER HD#178 & Urban Decay Mariposa Palette

So I finally tried the MUFE HD foundation. I went to Sephora and picked up a sample, I've heard good things about it but I also heard that it doesn't do so well in hot weather and since I live in the south I was worried lol. What I can say is I did not do a whole lot the day I wore it but I did go on a date which consisted of movies, dinner and a walk in the park. I can honestly say that I had no melting and the foundation does feel very light. The color match was pretty close in #178 but I do think #177 would probably be a dead on match. 

Comes in a variety of shades...

So take a look below and let me know what you think:

All products used: MUFE HD foundation #178, MAC MSF in Rio for highlight and blush, Maybelline Eye studio gel liner in brown for eyebrows, LA Pro concealer in Fawn for under eye and eyebrow clean up. Eyes: Urban Decay Mariposa palette Limelight and Spotlight on the lids, Rockstar in the crease and Skimp for highlight. For my transition color I used MAC Saddle.  Lips: MAC Cozy Up (Limited Edition).

Have an AWESOME day and BE YOU!

Natural Hair Style : Gift Bow

         
     Hey there beautiful people. I have taken my last sew in out and has decided to give my hair a break until my birthday (labor day weekend) and just let my natural coils and kinks hang free. So with my hair being so fine and a bit long, at this point it is a bit difficult to successfully wear a " wash n go" so I tried my hand at being a little creative with y signature high puff. I came up with the idea of turning the ends into a gift bow. Please comment and let me know if you would like a full tutorial. Here is how it came out:

Have a GREAT day and BE YOU!
