Thoughts on Bag: All makeup!! :D I loved eye shadow sample!! Such a pretty red!! The EM Michelle Phan lipstick feels amazing!! lol Its smooth and moisturizing. Love the color!! I finally got a color I like. The Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon was kind of drying, so i needed to apply some lip balm first. It has a nice bright red color, but its a very dupable red. I love the silver liner!! Its so shiny!! I didn't care for the nailtini color. I wish I had gotten the silver. The bronzer I can use for the summer months. :)

All That Glitters is Gold

This was the 2nd look I did. Its ok I guess. My eyeliner wasnt working with me. I dont know why but my liners arent wanting to apply well lately. I guess it doesnt help that my eyes water a lot. I found that everytime I use the Be a Bombshell Liner I got from one of my recent glam bags that my eye waters a lot and crusts up which is really gross. So I cant recommend this liner to my fellow people with sensitive eyes. 



Items Used:

*Applied Shade A to inner half of lid.
*Applied Shade B to outer half of lid.

Christmas Party Look

Sorry Ive been MIA. I've been so tired from work and havent played with makeup lately. I did a couple looks recently for the work that I need to redo for this blog. Last week I decided to breakout my 120 Palette. I really liked the first gold color I used. These 2 looks are meh but decided to share anyways. I used my gold digger lashes for one of these looks. The NYX Gold Digger Lashes are very full and long. I love them. These are lashes you most likely have to trim to fit your eyes. I seem to have lost one so I took pics with and without the lashes.
