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

Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - NK Aquamarine

This is some pretty snazzy nail polish! It reminds me of electricity for some reason.



This is sheer. I did a base coat & 3 coats.
I think I should have done a couple more for opacity.

Dupe for MAC Liberty of London Everhip Lipstick

I obsessed with coral lip colors lately.
I picked up an NK lipstick for $1.29 from an ethnic beauty supply store.
924 Coral Pink
I quickly realised it is a dupe for MAC
Everhip (Creamsheen) Lipstick.
This has made me seriously reconsider my highend lipstick purchases.





Left to Right Swatches
MAC (Liberty of London - Limited Edition)EVERHIP
NK Coral Pink

Nails Of The Day - (NOTD) - NK Heart Blue

Treo Pic Outdoors

These nails would compliment any of the on trend Chambray Outfits.



Without the flash, this looks like a dupe for NARS Blue Lagoon



The formula is a little thin. The metallic finish is a bit tricky.
This is 3 coats. (Along with NK Ridge Filler Base and NK Express Top Coat)

e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher - REVIEW

I decided to route through my hardly used box of makeup. I am so glad that I did. It felt like I was shopping.
I stumbled upon my e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher collection.

These gems are very affordable for $1 each.

I purchased all the colors except for INNOCENCE which I thought would not show up on my MAC NC50 skintone. The lighter colors could easily be used for highlight or stacked over a darker blush.

These blushes give a subtle hint of color. Some are more pigmented than others.
When used with a cream base, I find they will last all day on me. The texture can be powdery. I like the convenience of the small packaging.

"This exquisite, delicate, pigment payoff makes cheeks radiant combined with a healthy-looking glow. Infused with texturizing agents, skin feels smooth and pores are minimized.

INGREDIENTS:
Talc, Mica, Paraffinium Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Zinc Stearate, Titanium Dioxide(CI 77891), Kaolin , Petrolatum Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Iron Oxides(CI 77491 , CI 77492 , CI 77499), Red No.6 Lake (CI 15850), Ultramarines (CI 77007)"


COY mauve with shimmer



FLUSHED bubble gum pink with shimmer




SHY soft matte baby pink



GLOW soft pinky - coral with micro fine shimmer



BRONZED gold with shimmer



I love them all.

I give these 4 out of 5 stars. Why 4? Used alone, these blushes do not have staying power. When stacked over a cream blush base, and set with translucent powder. For me, they work just fine. The powdery texture may be off putting to some. This could get pretty messy if you are not careful.
