MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadows + Swatches!

How do you perfect a perfect product! 

One of the first brands I discovered at Sephora was Make Up For EVER. 

They have the most pigment, pure and innovative products on the market.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to a MUFE party which introduced us to the new line of shadows. 

I'm so impressed. Each swatch was silky and vivid.

We also had the opportunity to customize our own MAKE UP FOR EVER Custom Artist Palette! 

A highly-blendable, gel-powder eye shadow and powder blush with vivid color payoff.

I wanted to make a palette that could used be for every occasion. 

One requirement for me was that it HAD to have a deep/rich dark brown.

For a deeper-skinned woman of colour, this would be the ultimate face contour colour.

These shadows ($24.00 CAN) blend effortlessly, come in 210 colours and five different finishes.

-Matte

-Satin

-Iridescent

-Metal

-Diamond

From Top to Bottom:

• TJ01A
• UB02A
• T101A

Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy™ Longwear Nail Enamels

I'm just adding another cure-less gel polish to your list of must-haves. 

Don't get me wrong.. I love gel-based cure polishes but the removal is a pain. 

Who has time to stick their hands in acetone or spend time picking it off (damaging their nail beds). 

Not I!

I've been playing with the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy™ Longwear Nail Enamel ($8.99 CAN) for a couple months.

I just received the perfect fall nail colour from them in the mail- so I decided to share them.
*******I have other colours, if you would like them swatched*******

So far, I have tried a few polish based gel polish brands. For me, the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy™ Longwear Nail Enamel is equal or if not a little bit better (due to the 2 step process) then the L'Oreal Extraordinaire Gel-Lacquer. At the bottom of the totem pole is the CND Vinylux polishes. 

The only con I have about the Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy polishes is that you should not add more then two coats of colour. I did it and it took a really long to dry.
Other than that these are pretty fantastic!
