LOTD + Review: Too Faced enchanted glamourland

I bought the Too Faced enchanted glamourland palette because since I'm on the search for my perfect primer, I thought it would be reasonable to get this palette to play around with the colors as well as indulge in a full-sized bottle of its shadow insurance as well as a wonderful, wonderful (full-sized) lip gloss. I really love love love the lip gloss because it complements my lip color quite well as well as giving me that plumping feeling which my lips just absolutely adore.

The shadows are very well pigmented and very easy to blend. There's a good variety of colors that would be great for prom make up application and events where you want your eyes to pop due to its metallic array of colors. For $49 dollars at Sephora, this palette is definitely worth it. After all, the full-sized bottles of shadow insurance and lip gloss are $18 and $19 respectively. Technically you're paying $12 for the eye shadows. Reasonable, right? Most definitely!

Viewer beware: a massive load of pictures are awaiting you.

Today I received a package of some eye shadow primers that I wanted to try out from the all natural face. Included in my package were samples of three mineral eye shadows that I figured I would try out. Boy did I hate trying to get product with my brush from the bottom of the bag, it was such a mess. 

The primer seems great but the eye shadows I do not like. The blue seems to be more like silver, and the gold didn't appear. I couldn't blend the black all that great so I ended up using my own eye shadow from Sephora.

LOTD: Nicki Minaj inspired look

I wanted to do one of those "inspired" lotds so for my first, I chose Nicki Minaj. I don't have much lipsticks so I have to improvise on that part. Incidentally, I didn't realize I applied my lipstick crooked.

Mini brush review

These are the brushes that I used for this look, and most of these brushes are what I use often making them my favorites.

I just recently invested in a few MAC brushes. Although they emptied out my wallet for a few weeks, they were very well worth it. I didn't know what a difference it made when trying to put on eyeshadow. They help out so much with adding more color onto my canvas and especially with the blending. I'll do a more in-depth review on my favorite and must have brushes soon.

(From top to bottom)
MAC 222  - I love this brush for blending colors in the outer corner of my eye. It does a great job in defining it.
MAC 219 - I never thought I would buy this brush but my friend recommended it to me. I love this brush because it packs on the color to my outer corner. I also use it to pack on pigments for my inner corner.
MAC 217 - My favorite brush for blending everything, period.
Random eyeshadow brush - I just use this for highlight. Actually I use whatever random brush that I grab for highlight whether it's a blending brush or an eyeshadow brush.
Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow brush - I think this one comes in two sizes. I used the smaller one since I was just going to add color to a small part of my eye. It packs on color real well.
*Not shown, but I love my MAC 266 brush for defining my eyebrows. It's been a staple in my make up bag since forever, even when I wasn't into make up. It's long lasting too, I've had it for about 4-5 years now and it still has much more life in it.

OOTD: I love boots!

I don't care what season it is, I'll wear them all year round.

I got these cute boots at Aldo's last night and for a real big bargain. Emphasis on cute!
