Concrete Minerals review

Today, I want to change it up. Besides nail polish, and nail art I have another obsession. It's makeup. I LOVE eye makeup. I love colors, and blends and everything there is to it. My friend Andrea from Addicted to the Allure of Beauty ALWAYS shows me sales going on. Seriously, she is the sales queen lol. She told me about Concrete Minerals having a sale called "Youtube Guru & Bloggers Love Special". In this sale you can get ANY four mineralized shadows of your choice for only 15 dollars (retail 28 dollars) OR any 4 matte shadows for 15 dollars (retail 32 dollars).

You do have to have a blog or a youtube channel with at least 100 followers to participate. I decided why not, as I am really getting into all these mineral eyeshadows now. Let me tell you, I am SO happy I did.

This is what I got:

Four FULL sized pots, and they even threw in two sample baggies!! Here are the names of the colors I got:







Now for the swatches:

 Left to right: Harlequin, Kismet, Lithuim
Left to right: White rabbit, Zealous, Unity

Let me tell you, these are DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE them!!

I did this quick eye makeup:


I used Harlequin, and Kismet. Since they are so pigmented, I only added a touch on my eyeshadow brush, and it was like bam. It was gorgeous in person.

I will say I will definitely be buying this brand again. They also threw in a 15% off my next order card and I can't wait to use it!

*I bought this with my own money, and this review is my FULL opinion*

Mari Moon Hitz Cutie Pie (Pic Heavy)

Have you ever had a nail color on that you couldn't take your nails off of? Well, this one I am about to show you is one of them. I literally COULD NOT take my eyes off. I believe I had this on for close to a week. I didn't want to take it off. It is Mari Moon Hitz Cutie Pie. I bought it off of  Llarowe website. I can't wait to use my other one I bought. Two of them didn't come in since they were damaged being sent to Llarowe. I am dying for them to come in!

This is the polish stamped

I tried so hard to capture this beautiful color. I LOVE it!

Essence Choose Me!

Ah, what a beautiful color today. Essence, Choose Me! Reminds me a lot like Zoya Charla but I think the base colors are a bit different. I have never checked them side by side though.



Isn't this stunning?!

Stamping Gradient

I noticed that right as I'm trying to fall asleep, I get a nail idea in my head. Of course by morning, I usually forget it lol. This time I didn't. I decided to do a base of CG Golden Merginue, with sponge of OPI It's My Year!, with CG snowglobe on the tips. I then grabbed my XXL plate from You Mix Cosmetics and stamped the flower with the Konad white polish. It did smudge a bit, but I could care less! I LOVE this, and it looks even better in person!



I've had this on for two days and I dont want to take it off yet lol

Julep Morgan

I received my Julep box a couple of days ago! I get the bombshell one every week. This month I am especially pleased! I got Morgan and Rose. Two absolutely beautiful colors. They also added in some SPF cream for your face and hands, a chapstick with SPF, and even some extra brushes for last months wonky brushes! I was very pleased!

Of course I am a huge sucker for purples so I put Morgan on right away. I love it. My camera really captured the red and blue shimmer in it, so if you take those away the purple under is the exact color. It's soooo stunning.
