The Body Needs Haul January 2013

My order from TheBodyNeeds came in on Thursday. This was my order from their last sale.







Sinful Blush: Peachy Pink with a Gold Shimmer (This is a mineral dupe for Nars Orgasm. Ive not used the Nars one so I cant say how they compare.)






Party Girl Glitter: Bubblegum Pink with Gold Sparkle EYE SAFE Glitter (color looks lighter and different on the site. It looks more like a hot pink in color but does apply more like Bubblegum pink.)






Heliotrope: Shimmery Pink Purple Pearl (Similar to MAC Pink Pearl)






Irish Dreams: Pale Pastel Green with a Gold Shimmer. (Seafoam Green) My favorite color of the bunch. 






Envious: Deep Emerald Green Frost. It looks like the green used in Blackened Emerald. Also I couldnt seem to find this color on the site and was informed it was discontinued.






Shimmers Teal: Shimmery White that Reflects Teal (Its been cloudy so havent been able to get a reflection pic)





Nude: Dark Beige Matte (Reminds me of the color of a Milk Chocolate smudge)






Blackened Maroon: Deep Blackish Purple with Medium Frost






Heres the Swatches :)




Where to Buy: TheBodyNeeds
Price: 5g Jar $1.99
10g Jar $3.79
26 mm Crushed Pot $3.99



Quick Look I did using Irish Dreams and Nude. (Also used Blacked Turquoise and Shimmers Gold)

 

The Body Needs Haul - Christmas Colors

TBN had a sale for Veteran's day a couple weeks ago, so I decided to pick up some christmas colors. I also got the pink I have been wanting from them as well. I thought I had ordered 24K Gold with this order but I hadnt so I ordered it with my Black Friday order. 







Indoor Flash



Outdoor No Flash



Outdoor - Flash




Shamrock: Bright Green Pearl (Jungle Green)
Notes: I found this can apply dark and kind of sheer. It worked better to pat this color onto your eye then sweeping it on. I recommend using a base before applying this color. It might work better with a mixing medium (I just ordered one from BFTE). 




Green Glitter: Sparkling Green EYE SAFE Glitter
Notes: I thought this applied well with my LA Splash Shadow/Glitter Primer. To get a more even coverage I use a brush like the Soho Smudge Brush (September Glam Bag). 




Cherry Blossom: Soft, Muted Baby Pink Frost
Notes: I havent used this shadow on my eyes yet, but can't wait too!! It reminds me of the Flirt! shadow Birthday Cake I used to wear all the time a few years ago. I used it til it was gone and since I never goto Kohl's I never replaced it. 




Metallic Merlot: Bright Burgundy Shine (Wine).
Notes: This is a nice medium shiny red shade. They suggest using this one as a lip color. Ill test it out and add a swatch. It would make a good color for Gryffindor Eye Looks. 




Smoked Pink: Smokey Grey with a Flash of Pink
Notes: This one looked almost exactly like Smoked Silver when swatching. I'm not for sure how it looks applied to the eye because I've yet to use it. I got it to use with some of my pink shades like Princess Pink.




Smoked Silver: Smokey Grey with a Flash of Silver (Steel gray with silver shimmer)
Notes: This shade applied to the eyes kind of paleish. I find that it works best using a darker color underneath. I found Steal the Night worked good. This has a lot of Silver Shimmer in it.



Supernova: Medium Teal Blue with High Shimmer Gold
Notes: Forgot to take picture of the shadow. I will update it later. This color was this past month's 1 cent special. To bring out the duochrome, apply it over a black base. (NYX Black Bean, UD Zero/Perversion, Wet n Wild Coloricon Black Pencil work good)

Where to Buy: TheBodyNeeds
Price: $1.99 for 5g, $3.79 for 10g, and $3.99 for Crush pot (panned shadow)



Christmas Eye Look I came up with, Christmas Cheer.

Haul - Ulta/Walmart/Sallys/Big Lots

I did a little shopping the past couple days. Ulta had a sale the past week for 40% off NYX  Products. I went in with my $5 off a $15 purchase coupon. I had planned on buying the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush since I saw rave reviews for it but put it back. I plan on going back for it with my $5 off a $10 purchase coupon. When I was at Walmart I saw Hard Candy had some new products. I should have taken a picture of the display.. They had some new palettes though that reminded me of the Pop Beauty Palettes. They are only $6. 

Borrowed this pic from DizzyNicky. The Blue one (Feelin' Blue) I just had to have. There was one color I had been looking for ever since I saw the Sigma Paris Palette (Seine). The color in this palette though is more aqua then blue. I liked the colors from the pic of Naturall Gorgeous at the display but they were all gone. If I like this one I will probably pick up more. They are very inexpensive, $6 each. Thats 60 cents per shadow. I can't wait to play with this palette. 

Group Picture

I picked up some NYX Fake Lashes in Nirvana and Gold Digger. I thought I could get these for Halloween since they were only $2.69 each on sale. I figured if i mess up putting on one, I have a spare. I need to go  buy some new glue though. When i was using my lash glue a few days ago it had a weird odor. 

I picked up one of the new Glam Aqua Luxe Lipsticks in Razzle Dazzle. Also got a Matte Lipstick in Pure Red. I wanted the hot pink one but they were out. :( 

They blend in with the background. :/

Flash

No Flash

Razzle Dazzle is a Frosty Coral.

Pure Red is a nice Matte Fire Engine Red. I found that its hard to apply by itself. It goes on more smoothly when you apply a lip balm first.

Some NYX eye products. I picked up a backup of Milk. There was only 1 so it was meant to be. I've tried the other Jumbo Pencils and they go sheer and frosty besides Black Bean. I can only Recommend Milk and Black Bean when it comes to the NYX Jumbo Liners. You need to use them with a primer though. I guess I could maybe try some of the darker colors. 

This is a pretty sparkly emerald green liner. I cant wait to try this out.

Flash and No Flash. The color came out more teal in the picture but its more green. 

NYX Glitter Mania in Purple - a bright lavender irridescent purple 

applied dry with my finger.

NYX Pencil Sharpener - I have bought this before but lost it. I had bought it after Xsparkage recommended it for the NYX Jumbo Pencils. I found this is the best one that sharpens my Milk pencil. It sharpens it perfectly unlike some that wont sharpen it, product gets stuck to it, sharpens but not very well, and I have one that seems to sharpen but also starts to sharpen the shadow part itself which is weird

Now if i lose the top part i know that the NYX one says Made in Germany. So if im looking for my sharpener and I find one without this, I know its not the one im looking for.

Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Glow in the Dark Nail Polish. Picked this up for $1.99. Im hoping its better then my China Glaze Ghoulish Glow. I know last year Scrangie recommended this one over the China Glaze. 

I saw in some recent photos how bad my roots were so I went to Sallys for some hairdye. The developer was in a pink bottle for breast cancer. 

Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow - I remember reading last year  or maybe earlier this year about how this was a dupe for Urban Decay Primer Potion. I decided to try this. I had a coupon to get a hairdye free with a $10 or more purchase. So i decided to get this. Along with this and the developer, I was able to get my hairdye free. 

It was hard to get a swatch of this since its only a little lighter in color then my skintone. I found it to be thicker and creamy when swatching. Kind of reminds me of the consistency of the Hard Candy Face primer.. Kind of like a silicone based primer.. i cant wait to try this since I do like UDPP. Ive tried Too Faced Shadow Insurance a little bit and i found my shadows creasing like crazy.. I didnt get to use it much because it was in my makeup bag last year when my purse was stolen. 

I saw these cute earrings at Big Lots and had to buy then. I think daisies are cute and i love the skulls, roses, hearts, and stars. 

Thought I would show the Mood Changing Sanrio Hello Kitty Earrings my hubby bought me last weekend.

Tried capturing a colo difference. No matter what I always change them blue. The necklace they had though I could get to be pink and purple. I only got the earrings.

Im going to do a separate post for my Hard Candy Top Ten Feelin' Blue Palette. Love the colors!! :)

 

Thanks for looking!! :)
