Review: Nayll Custom Polishes

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Tomorrow is March 4th, officially named Star Wars day! In celebration of Star Wars day, I wanted to share a few nail polishes that I customed made on Nayll. Nayll is a website that allows you custom make polishes and name them as well. It is a really cool concept and I had tons of fun creating for of my very own polishes. Three of the polishes were inspired by Star Wars and the fourth by Princess Peach from Mario! I will have swatches as well as the ingredient I used to create each polish~!

Vader
This color is inspired by Darth Vader, one of my favorite Star Wars characters. This polish has a black jelly base, ruby red holographic squares, black holographic hex, black diamonds, silver flakes, and silver holographic hex. This is basically a black base with lots and lots of silver, black, and red glitter!I absolutely love how it came out. The swatch is one coat of a plain black nail polish and one coat of Darth Vader.

Greetings from the Dark Side!

And welcome to my 1000th post! Hooray!

Today I have quite a few nail polishes to share with you! I don't blog enough about nail polishes, but this collection is special because it is inspired  by Doctor Who! Where are the rest of you Whovians?! And not just that, but I have been dying to get some more polishes from Pahlish (I have two other polishes from them that are stunning!) so I bit the bullet and purchased the 6 polish All of Space and Time Collection.

Review: Wet n Wild Natural Blend Lip Shimmers

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I talk about Wet n Wild so much on this blog and that is because I love finding products that are inexpensive but still of high quality. Wet n Wild has definitely stepped up their game in the past few years and I have discovered so many amazing products from them. Recently I decided to try out two shades from their Natural Blend line. I have seen these on the Wet n Wild displays for ages, but I never payed much attention to them. Rite Aid had a BOGO Free sale some time ago, so I decided to bite the bullet and try out two colors from the range. I picked up the shades #107 'Cocoa' and #108 'Cinnamon'. 

Review: Brija Cosmetics 'Rachel' Lip Tint

Review: Pond's Luminous Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes

Greetings from the Dark Side!

For most of 2013, I was using the Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes to remove my foundation every night. A few months ago, though, that changed when I saw these Pond's makeup removing wipes on sale (BOGO Free). I thought I had nothing to lose from trying out a new brand of makeup removing wipes so I ended up purchasing two packs. Now that I finished both packs, I want to finally give you a proper review. If you have used these before, let me know what you think of these in the comments section.

Review: Dreamworld Hermetica 'Pixie Gold' Lip Gloss

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I have another indie product to share with you all! I don't own a lot of indie lip glosses because I tend to gravitate towards indie eyeshadows. Since glosses are rare for me, I want to make sure to share with you all the ones I have tried. This one is from the brand Dreamworld Hermetica and it is called ' Magic Wand Lip Gloss. The shade I this in is 'Pixie Gold'.

Review: Brija Cosmetics Sherlock Collection

Greetings from the Dark Side!

You should all be used to seeing indie brands on my blog by now, and you should all know how much I love indie brands over drugstore/department store makeup brands. Indie brands are usually vegan/cruelty free  which is great for all of you who are vegan and/or prefer to buy cruelty-free makeup. They are also more creative with the inspirations for their makeup collections, which is the main reason why I just love indie makeup!

Brija Cosmetics is a relatively new brand to me, although I was already familiar with the owner. Brianna, the owner, makes Youtube videos as iluvjesse444 which I had watched prior to hearing about her makeup company. It is really interesting to see the owner of a makeup company make videos about other indie makeup! Anyway, I digress. Brinna gave me the opportunity to try some of her products some time ago and I've been using the products since then. The first set of products I tried was the Sherlock collection. I am pretty sure this was inspired by the BBC show called Sherlock, I mean look at the two photos below! The Sherlock and Watson from the labels have the same exact hair as the actors. The proof is in the hair my friends xD

Foundations,Powders, and Concealers I Currently Own

Greetings from the Dark Side :)

I hope you have all been well.

I noticed that my stash of foundations has been growing in the past year, and I really dislike having so many foundations. I don't want them to go bad before I get a chance to use them and develop a solid opinion about them. I made it my mission to use these foundations and recall how I felt about them so I can give you a mini review of each product :D I hope this is helpful!

*FYI I have combination skin that is oily around my nose and forehead and super dry along my jaw and chin. I have acne-prone skin that also has a tendency to flake.

Review: DreamWorld Hermetica Hocus Pocus Collection

Greetings from the Dark Side!

If you are looking for some more Halloween themed indie makeup, DreamWorld Hermetica's Hocus Pocus is an option to consider! The collection is called Hocus Pocus (I am pretty sure that this is inspired by the movie of the same name. I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid so I can't be 100% certain) and it has a whopping 16 eyeshadows and two blush colors (which are not swatched here). I tend to like more geeky themed indie eyeshadows, so I don't particularly care for the names, but the colors are stunning! Below are the swatches for all 16 eyeshadows~

Review: Oslo Cosmetics

 Greetings from the Dark Side!

Oslo Comsetics is a relatively new indie brand, and I received some samples to try out and review. I loooove indie cosmetics because you can find some amazing things that are difficult to find in department/drugstore store makeup. So I was really excited to try a new brand and to expand more into indie cosmetics. From Oslo Cosmetics, I received Carina blush, Obscura Velvet Cream Base, Carinae eyeshadow, and Lyra eyeshadow. Keep reading for swatches and review of these products~!

Review: Victorian Disco Cosmetics Time Lord Collection

You! Yes, you, reading this makeup post! If you have not watched Doctor Who just stop what you are doing and start watching it. It is an amazing show! And if you have watched it, then you should love this review! But before we get to the makeup, I just want to share one of my favorite quotes from the Tenth Doctor:

"Always bring a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good."

That's some good advice! Haha, jk. I just love how random that is!

So as it is says in the title, this is a review for the Victorian Disco Cosmetics Time Lord Collection! So keep reading for swatches and a review!
