ELF Eye Primer

Hey guys,
another product review that I have to say I am very proud of, and was glad to do it. This will be something I will use on a regular. it's the ELF Eye Primer. today I did my eye makeup using that underneath it, I have to say  when I got done, my eyes looked as if I had a professional to do it!

It stayed fresh looking all day! I worked and ran a few errand and attended meetings, when breaking away to looking in mirror the eye shadow was still intact! I was just like OMG!. When the day was over, it still looked good. It worn in the creases of my eyes some, but you wouldn't be able to tell  unless I closed my eyes for awhile

here's some pics I took after putting on my eye shadow:


In this pic I called myself had one eyebrow lifted and the other one down. I'm being silly. LOL You can't tell that's what I was doing. Look how nice and clean the makeup looked.


Makeup I used:
Eyes:
ELF Eyelid Primer
LA Colors Palette Supernatural (Gray Palette)
ELF Water Proof Eyeliner Pen
Apple Cosmetics EyeLiner pencil

Lips:
Lip Gloss I got from Dot's
the name wasn't on it



Look close, is that the smokey eye I did? I was trying to catch that illusion LOL. I like how it came out. I just got to doing something. LOL

I used shades of gray, that was it. I wanted to definately give a product review on the ELF Primer that is a great primer

If you have used it, let me know what your opinion is. Thanks for reading.

Sally Hansen French Manicure Pen


Hey There,
I wanted to get started on this blog about the Sally Hansen French Manicure Pen. It makes a great alternative when you can't get to the salon or redo your nails for example: If you're in a hurry, or got no time to go and get your nails did, this pen would serve that purpose. It's easy to use, no mess hardly (take some time) .It will give you the look as if you went and had them done professionally.


I did a video showing what I did, and I was happy with my results, I didn't do a tutorial video, I was just showing how it looked after I did it on my left hand. LOL I was so overly excited. doing my right hand would take more time because I'm going to be doing it with my left hand. I am right handed, so everything I'm doing with my left is awkward to me. However, I taught myself to write with my left hand.

Procedure: 
 What I did, was washed my hands and nails, waited until fully dry. I took pen outlined and colored in my nail tips. I took a Qtip used some Fingernail Polish Remover the one with Acetone, to do the shaping and clean up of half tip. That was it!

  As the day went on, it chipped a little. I went back over it. and it was okay after that. I think that because I didn't put a top base coat on my fingernail before using the pen that was the reason. I'm going to do it again before I give my final word, when I do I will add my final thoughts about this pen to this blog. I can say for now, so far so good. I liked it. It is easy to use, and can be very convenient for someone that don't have time or money to pay or go to a nail salon.

Prices:
I bought it from Walgreen's it cost $6 and some change.
The Sally Hansen Clear Top Shiny Coat I believe was about $3 or $4.
I got them both from Walgreen's but not at the same time the clear polish I had for awhile. I forgot the price of it

Note: I heard it's cheaper at Sally's Beauty

Video:
If you didn't see the video here's the link to it

Tutorial:
I didn't think that doing a tutorial would be necessary. I did one anyways, because I wanted to show where I made my mistake at, so that you want repeat it, and you will know what NOT to do. I will have it posted soon it will be here on the blog.

here's a pic showing the finished product on my left hand:


Final Thought:  This pen is the BOMB!! if you don't want to use the white polish, using the polish brush this pen makes a great alternative. It do works the same. All I say is when applying your coats of polish, make sure that it's dry ALL THE WAY!!..That was where my problem was. I didn't let dry all the way.What happened was, the clear polish, bleed through the white making it look tacky. So that's it. I hope you found this to be helpful.
Thanks for reading and watching :)
