Same thing for less money??? + My baby girl ♥

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts, I haven't had anytime to post anything because I've been busy with the kids :) we're all enjoying our new addition to the family, our baby girl :D She turned a month old on the 26th of January...

Any whoooooo I have been wanting to get a new palette of eye shadows for a while now and what other better way to go than Coastal Scents??? Specifically I've been wanting to get their Warm Palette just because I love neutral eye shadows. But recently I found this site from Hong Kong called KKCenterhk while I was looking up clip-in bangs (I know kinda random but I've been thinking of getting bangs lol) they  pretty much have anything from cosmetics to shoes. So I was looking at their eye shadows, and they so happen to have the EXACT same palette as Coastal Scents has but for about half the price. As I have read before, I learned that Coastal Scents and BH Cosmetics sell the same palettes but I didn't know if they sold the same palettes any where else. 

Prices

Coastal Scents: $24.95

BH Cosmetics: 24.95

KK Center HK: $12.60

(via coastalscents.com & kkcenterhk.com)

The top palette is from KK Center HK and the bottom is from Coastal Scents. 

Don't they look similar??? Same number of shadows, and same shades. The only thing that is different is their case, the KK center HK case is shiny and the Costal Scents case is matte. 

So is it from the same manufacturer?

What do you guys think?

If you know more about this palette please let me know, I would love to know!

Here is a great review on the KK Center Hk palette from one of our fellow bloggers! Check it out HERE

EYES: ELF Quad 'Silver Lining'

Today I decided to use ELF's quad Silver Lining

It has the prettiest colors! All of the colors are very pigmented as well. I put the darker lavender color all over my eyelid, the light lavender in the inner corner of my eye, and also on my brow bone. Then I applied the gray into my crease. Last I applied the dark purple color into the outer corner of my eye. Liner, Mascara, Lashes the TA DA! Done. 

For the rest of my face I applied foundation, powder, bronzer, blush, and a peachy/ nude lip ♥

NOTD: NYC 'Spring Street'

Another NYC nail polish! After trying NYC In a New York Color Mintute Quick Dry Nail Polish, I decided I wanted to try another one! This color is "Spring Street" It's a super bright orange! Sorry for the crappy application, my son wanted to see what mommy was putting on his nails hehe. 

If you like bright colors I would go for this one,

hope you enjoyed :D

Review: L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara

Recently I purchased  L'oreal's  Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara to try it out to see if I like it or not. Usually I lean towards Maybelline Mascaras, but after trying L'oreals Extra Volume Hydra Collagen Plumping Mascara and loving it, I decided to give it this a try. 

What product claims: "For lashes that look a million times multiplied and perfectly defined, there is only one mascara New Voluminous Million Lashes. The built in clean sweep wiping system wipes the wipes the brush free of clumps leaving the perfect amount of mascara for an ultra- volumized clean lash look. The Millionizing brush evenly thickens lashes from root to tip. The result? Lashes look so multiplied, so clean, it's like seeing millions. Clump free, fragrance free."

It has a really cute tube, gold! It also snaps closed so no air gets in.

 The brush is plastic, large enough to cover all of my lashes, and has a lot of bristles on it. It also is flexible and really does give the perfect amount of mascara on the brush every time. 

Applying the mascara was great. It did not clump at all and covered evenly through out my lashes. It did not flake or leave smudges either. One thing I do not recommend while applying this mascara is to wait long amounts of time between each coat. When you do this it tends to clump :( So what I did was just apply continuously. Overall I really liked this mascara for what it does. BUT it really doesn't do what it claims as far as making your eyelashes "Millionized" I didn't get as much volume as I did length and it doesn't even mention length lol.

Would I buy this again? I would buy this again because I do like what it does to my lashes, but I have tried other mascaras that volumized my lashes better.

Has anyone else tried this? What do you think?

Review: ELF Regular & Waterproof Mascara

I am a pretty big fan of ELF cosmetics. Their prices are super cheap AND great on the quality of their products. Recently I decided to try their Regular & Waterproof Mascara. This is my first time EVER buying a mascara for so cheap, $1!!!


What product claims: 
"Revolutionary Liquid-Flex™ Technology – Long-Lasting, Smudge and Smear Proof. One side is regular mascara, but turn over this tube, and the other side contains waterproof mascara so you are prepared for any occasion, place or type of weather!"

 It's a duo regular and waterproof mascara, one on one side, the other on the other side. I found this great because you don't have to carry around 2 kinds of mascara if you are traveling. 

I am not a fan of the brush, I usually go for bigger brushes. It does not separate your lashes, the more you put on the worse it gets and it did not give me any length nor volume. The Mascara it self it great, it covers well, does not smudge, smear, and it washes off easy. 
*I am wearing this mascara in the Selina Gomez look I just recently did*

-one coat-

Would I buy this again? Overall I was disappointed in this ELF product. I have never disliked any of ELF's cosmetics until now :( The main problem is the brush. It did not separate my lashes at all, and I didn't get any length either. If I were to buy this again, I would just have it to carry in my purse for little touch ups or if I were traveling. I did like the effect it did on my lower lashes though :D  I have tried better out there.

Has anyone else tried this? What do you think?
