EYE LASHES:
I purchased these two sets of eyelashes for my birthday coming up! I have used both companies before just different styles of lashes and they worked great! I dont ever use the eyelash glue that comes with ANY eyelash set because I usually have an allergic reaction to the glue. How I know is because the moment the glue touches my eye, it starts to burn unbelievably bad! The best glue to use for false eyelashes would be the DUO EYELASH ADHESIVE. There are two types, both work the same with the same end result. The Pink tube is "Dark Tone" which means it delivers in a charcoal/black color and dries black, and the Blue tube that delivers in "Clear/White" and dries clear.
Note:
One way to test if you are allergic to the glue is to put a tiny bit of it in the center of your arm where it bends. (the spot where blood gets drawn from you because the vein is there) <~ I hope you know where I am talking about! Haha I dont know the name of that area and thats the best way I could describe it! - Allow the glue to sit for a few minutes. If after 3-4 minutes you do not feel a burning or itchy sensation, remove the glue. Let your arm sit for another 3-4 minutes. If after that time frame you feel absolutely nothing, then you should be able to use the glue without a problem. Although, at any point you feel a burning or itching sensation remove the glue IMMEDIATELY, go to the washroom and clean the area with soap and water! It may itch and burn slightly after that is over with, but it will eventually go away. Nothing serious will happen to you. Infact, that is the safest way to test for an allergy for a product like this. As a Professional Makeup Artist this is a procedure I do to test on my clients. It has also been tested on myself multiple times.
FOREVER 21 PIGMENTS:
I purchased these pigments together as they were in a little bag for $1.80. Why not? I don't own very many pigments, but I wanted to grab these to use for my nails! I saw on Beauty's Bad Habit Blog, nail art she performed on her nails using eyeshadow pigments. I will be using her technique in a few short days for my birthday! Stay tuned!!
Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette, ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I am a dark eyeshadow kinda girl. I can't help it! I just love what it does to my eyes and how seductive it looks! These eyeshadows are perfect... love the texture (smooth and creamy) and they hold up so well! This is the new palette for the Fall of 2011. They revamped their Smokey Eye Palette from last year and made the box thinner and changed up some colors. Hope you like it too!
Wet 'n Wild has stepped up their game!! In the past, I wouldnt have bothered with them, honestly. NOT because they are so inexpensive, but because the quality of their products was terrible! Now, let's be real.. we all cant help but skim past the Wet 'n Wild section at the drug store and see what they have. They're lip glosses are pretty awesome and their eyeshadows are pigmented. What more can you ask for? I great swoop over the eye, a glow on the lippie and you're all set! Wet 'n Wild does have a color range in this collection! Neutrals and Purples! Count me in for more WET 'N WILD!
Real Techniques: Starter Kit Brush Set! If you follow Pixiwoo on YouTube or Blogger, then you know what I am talking about! Pure PERFECTION! Those two women are simply amazing. Artistic, professional, and just outright perfect! Sam, from Pixiwoo, teamed up to make these brushes! How fab is thattttt!!! I saw her many videos using these brushes and I couldnt stand anymore NOT having them! I seriously went all over my state in search for these, as the Ulta's near my town did not have them in stock! "Hi, I was wondering if you had the Real Technique's Starter Kit Brush Set available in your store?" "Uhm, no I apologize but we're sold out!" - Yeah, I got that just about every single day for 2 weeks! I stopped calling like a stalker for a few days and finally called one random afternoon just because I had an itch to see if they had any! "Yes, infact, we just got them in but we have 1 left!" --- UHM! I drove so fast to that Ulta I thought I burned out my tires! She just got them in and they were sold out already! I guess people in New Jersey love Pixiwoo and these brushes just as much as I do! Here in the US, Ulta has them retailed @ $15.99 in the store, although their website changed to $17.99. I would hurry before the prices go up!
These brushes are soft, easy to use, and are my new love! I have put aside some of my MAC Brushes for these... hows that!
Hope you enjoyed!
XO!

Great haul! I have two of the 8 WnW palettes and I LOVE them. They are so pigmented and blend beautifully. I might have to try those brushes out. I have heard great things about them.
Thanks for the sweet comment you left me on my blog. =)
You're right Wet N Wild has stepped up their game! I love the new eyeshadow palettes they're putting out! Those things are a great steal! I will definitely be trying the eyelash glue you recommend. I usually don't like the glue that comes with the eyelashes. How is the staying power with this glue?
I love wet n' wild! their e/s palettes are amazing!
