Funky Peacock Belt - Torrid

I stumbled across this funky belt while window shopping at Torrid
I like their wide variety of plus sized accessories.

I found a coupon code for a $10 discount. This made up for having to pay the shipping cost. Shipping was FAST!
There is an ongoing special where you may purchase one belt and get a second for 50% off. I was unaware of this when I placed my order.
I love my belt.

KleanColor Hawaiian Rainbow Spendor Palettes With Swatches

Although I am kind of on a "No Buy",
I decided to pick up these palettes a couple of weeks ago.
They were 2 for $5 at my local beauty supply store.

I found the texture a little bit chalky.
I found them to be extremely vibrant.
I use a mixing medium when applying them.

There are 12 Colors in each palette.
One palette is BRIGHT, the other is a little more neutral.

Repairing Damaged Eyeshadow

Shattered Eyeshadow



I was crushed when I accidentally dropped my Jesse's Girl MOONBEAM baked eyeshadow.
They are FRAGILE!
For the longest time, I was reluctant to repair it because I did not want to lose the cool marble effect.
The cracked shadow was messy.

I used my Coastal Scents EZ Press. I like it, but I hate the bottle top.
It's a click button dispenser like a shampoo bottle.
I would have preferred an eyedropper for more accurate formulation when pressing pigments etc.

Undamaged and New Eyeshadows





I used

Alcohol (to sterilize the stainless Steel Spatula and 5gram jar)
Coastal Scents EZ Press
A Sheet of Plastic
An Empty Vitamin Bottle Mouth To Attempt To Form A Dome Shape
Patience

Scraped Shattered Eyeshadow from Pan with Stainless Steel Spatula



Used Stainless Steel Spatula To Further Crush the Shattered Eyeshadow ...Goodbye Pretty Marble *sad face*



Added Enough EZ Press Until the Loose Shadow Gathered Into a Paste On the Side Of the Container






Stainless Steel Spatula Used to Form the Dome Shape





Clean Plastic and Vitamin Bottle Top Used to Shape The Shadow Further

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Sinful Colors SCANDAL

I love this color! It's the perfect Summer Coral!

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Revlon OPULENT PINK

I was considering buying a soft pretty neutral work friendly shade of nail polish.



I went shopping in my collection and found that I already had the perfect color!



Revlon OPULENT PINK



With Flash



It has gold micro-shimmer. Can you see it?

No Flash



Is GORGEOUS! I LOVE IT!

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - GOLD - NK Flamboyant and Limelight

These golds would set off any Crisp White Summer Outfit. They would also make an all black outfit pop!




The formulation is thin. The metallic nature of these light colors results in a streaky finish.



I used three coats of each to achieve this look.
(Along with NK Ridge Filler as a base coat and NK Express Dry as a top coat)

Limelight
Middle, Pointer and Thumb
This color reminds me of MAC Bitter eyeshadow.



Flamboyant
Pink and Ring Finger
