urban decay vice review

sephora, $60

i've never bought the other vice palettes, but i had to get this one. i like how this palette is warm toned, with more pinks than normal palette. i know most people had a problem with this, but i think it's awesome. most palettes are more blue/purple toned, which can get boring after a while. the colors in here are all pigmented, some are almost sheer. i do prefer the colors rather than neutrals. i do like the packaging and the fact that the mirror is huge. some of the shades with glitter do kick up some glitter dust, but it's glitter and not a lot.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS? if you want a palette that's warm toned (hint hint, the naked 3 is warm toned), then yeah. these shadows do perform well and don't really need a base. it also has neutrals, for others. 

elf and fresh lip exfoliator review, short

 elf website, $3

sephora, $22 full size

these are both good products for different reasons. the elf one you could take with you in your everyday bag and traveling. it's convenient for being in stick form, with doesn't cause a lot of mess. it says to use with water, but i feel like i get a better scrub without it. after scrubbing, you simply wipe with a towel. the taste of it is brown sugary/sweet. the fresh one is the texture of wet sugar, brown in color, and can be messy if using too much. with this, i do have to rinse my lips off after scrubbing. it has a brown sugar mixed with citrus flavor. it's weird, but not too bad. i use the fresh one if i plan on wearing a drying, the elf one if unplanned.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS? depends on which one you like, or both. if you want a stick form, elf can help you. of you prefer a looser form, fresh can help you. price may also be a factor. if you do want to try the fresh one, i would start out with a sample. they have kits with it in there. the elf one you can usually get cheaper, when elf is having a sale.

*a lot of reviews coming. i went through my stash, finding what was/wasnt reviewed yet. about 30 o.o *

BEAUTY
|urban decay vice 3|
i like the warmer tones in it and it's nicely pigmented. the names are also pretty. 
|revlon kissable balm honey|
it's a hair darker than my natural lips. it's also pepper minty smelling.
|hard candy fairy gloss|
it's a pinky clear with pink sparkles. it's not sticky and it's last a good while, even when eating and drinking.

*more beauty favs for next time, since most of my b-day shopping would be done*


OTHER
|turtle chex mix|
it's caramel, chocolate, peanuts, and pretzel goodness. i like it.
|wire wrapping|
i've been making some rings and crystal necklaces for fun.
|scary/sci fi movies|
it's halloween time and mostly horror movies are playing. i've watched hellboy, insidious, zombieland, and .
|rise against|
i've been getting back into listening to them, mostly saviour.
|my b-day :D|
i turned 23 on the 25th, which means b-day money for some makeup items.
|goth boots and tights|
it's fall and it's time for boots! i only have 3-4 pairs of boots but 3 of those are of "goth" descent. with my recent $25 TUK boot find, i've been inclined to wear them almost everywhere, while looking cute and deathly.
|scarves|
i have 3 non winter scarves, a blue/teal snake print, black with skulls, and a red/black plaid one. i like these for more coverage and style.

b-day haulage

 wnw reserve your cabana, rose champagne glow

 hc over the rainbow, hint of pink, pink prism

 reserve your cabana, rose champagne glow

 over the rainbow, hint of pink (blue shimmer), pink prism (more blue shimmer)

next stop was ulta, which most of my shopping was done. one part was in store, the other online.

ud electric palette

my friend bought me this for my b-day. i was putting it off because i have lots of colorful palettes, but the freak and thrash shadows reeled me in. the only thing that bothers me is like many palettes, it's mostly blue/purple.
nyx pump it up glosses

elizabeth, lisa
i got these since they were nice colors and i wanted to try nyx glosses. most of my other glosses have major sparkle, so these seem more natural.

makeup forever b-day lipstick and mascara

no. 9, black
this was sephora's b-day gift. the lipstick is that bad of a color.

 no.9, elizabeth, lisa

lisa has some minor sparkle in there, which can barely been seen.
nyx simply vamp lip creams

enamored, aphrodisiac, bewitching, covet
i bought these to add some dark colors to my collection, since its mostly pink. i like how these are not red or brown, but a mix. i might have to get the other 2 since they feel creamy and look awesome.
lorac 3D lustre set

opal, gold, rose quartz, amethyst
i had to get this since i missed last years awesome set. i'm most excited about the opal and amethyst. i still want the copperish one.

nyx chunky dunk review

nyx chunky dunk, $6, nyx website

i bought these in watermelon cooler and peach fuzzy. these are good at hydrating and don't have a smell to them. they don't really give color to my lips. they last around 2-3 hours and through eating. they have the same twist package as the revlon kissables. i haven't noticed it moving around on my mouth or going onto my face.

WOULD i RECOMMEND THIS? if you want a lip balm that's a bit heavier than normal, yeah. i would compare this to the nivea milk/honey balm, which i plan on reviewing later. these are good for those who want no-minimal color and smell. i'm not sure if the other colors are more pigmented.
