FOTD: Smokey Purple look with the L’Oreal Color Infallible Eye Shadows

A few weeks ago I entered a L'oreal contest with this look.
I didn't place but I still think this look is fab enough to feature on my blog.
Especially because I don't do enough FOTD's... *covers eyes*

Born Pretty Store Fimo Sticks Review

I recently got the 100 pcs Cane Nail Art Fimo Fruit Shaped Stick w/ Cutter kit from Born Pretty.

If you don't know Fimo sticks are polymer clay that can be sliced and used as nail decoration. 

Look at the detail in the canes! 

In the kit:

100 fimo sticks

10x cutters
2x jewel empty boxes
1x glue

The Hello Kitty one is one of my favs of course :D

There is a spot on my thumb because a kitty fell off :(

Pros:

•  100 different Fimo Sticks (variety)
• Comes with empty jewelery box
• Decent price

Cons:

• The glue is not the strongest..
• Some of the sticks are not my ideal choices (in my opinion)
• It takes a while to get the hang of getting the "perfect slice"

Overall:
These are great if you're trying something new. If you can get the hang of cutting the sticks evenly & correctly... It's worth it.

CARGO Voyages Gloss Collection Review + Swatches

I recently received a CARGO Voyages Gloss Collection for review. I'm a sucker for cute packing & color stories, so these became my summertime glosses. I was able to bring these babies everywhere!

GLOSS BREAKDOWN:

Consistency:

These glosses are thin but smooth. 

Four out of five have micro glitter....which can be a pain for some.

Price:

This collection is $22.00 on ebeauty.ca.

If your Canadian divide that into 5 adding HST.. that comes up to $4.97 each.

Color Pay off:

These colors are very sheer **It depends on your natural lip color**.

I find that I have to do 2-3 applications to get some color pay off.

SWATCHES:

RECAP:

OVERALL:
My favorite colors are Tokyo, Paris & Serengeti.
Las Vegas is too light & Morocco is too glittery.

What do you think?
