Makeup Great for Newbies and Beginners

    Hola Chicas!!  Hope you all are having a great Tuesday!  I'm a bit late with this review; however, better late than never!  I have another review from BornPretty Store for you.  So far I've reviewed cosmetics brushes, false eyelashes and nail polish.  Today I'm going to review their 12 set Shimmer Eyeshadow Collection and their Shimmer Glitter Liquid Eyeliner

    I was given the opportunity to review some more items from here and I thought let me give their loose eyeshadows and glitter eyeliners a try.  Here are my thoughts. 


    Wendy your famous!! =D
    The package comes with 9 loose eyeshadows (above) and 3 loose glitters (below).
    They come in a 3 gram jar w/o a shifter.  As you can see they are filled to the top with product.  What I don't like about the packaging is that the middle part (clear part where it says Wendy) of the screw on cap comes out.  You have to keep the cap upside down in order for the middle not to fall out.  I mean it's not a huge deal, but I think that's the only thing they could change.

    Swatches:
    
    Swatched on bare skin, no primer or base was used.
    The Low Down:
    The eyeshadows are very pretty, pigmented and last long.  No creasing or fading -of course I used an e/s primer or base.  I've never tried these alone so I can not tell you if they last long, crease or fade.  Out of the 9 e/s I had two matte colors and the rest were shimmery. 

    E/S colors:  Light Blue, Light Grey, Charcoal, Peachy Pink, Light Pink, Peachy Pink (matte), Medium Pink Purple, Peach (matte), Light Green.  I'm not best at describing colors, but you get the idea. =D

    Let's look at the glitters:
    
    Used false eyelash glue to hold the glitter for swatching.
    The glitters are pretty.  I received pink, purple and green.  If used with a good adhesive base they will last long.

    I think these are a great addition to my collection; however, this is collection would be awesome for a newbie or beginner who would like to try out loose e/s and/or play around with bright colors and glitter but not pay an arm and a leg for them.  You can't beat $5.59 for all 12 jars.

    Now lets look at the glitter liquid eyeliners.


     You get 6 different colors - Aqua, White, Light Green, Gold, Silver and Purple.  Of course it's cute packaging so that's a plus!
     What I love is the brush tip these eyeliners have.  I don't like felt tip liquid eyeliners so I was happy to see that these have a brush tip.

    Swatches:
    The ones that do "shine above the rest" are Aqua and Purple.  The rest all look Gold or Silver.  They are pigmented with glitter so a little goes a long way.  They do last long.  I used the silver on top of black liquid eyeliner and it looked pretty good.  Still this is not a bad deal because you do get 6 eyeliners for only $9.64 so again you can't beat that.

    Shipping is FREE worldwide!!

    Here are two looks I did using the E/S and Glitter Eyeliner:

Purple Cracking Nail Polish

    Hola!!  I personally love anything having to do with beauty and I've become very addicted to nail polishes.  Last year in August I had about two or three nail polishes that would always use and now I have a huge collection, maybe about 40+ nail polishes!! 

    When OPI came out with Crackle Nail Polishes everyone and their mother wanted one.  I even spent almost $20 bucks on ebay for one because they were all sold out.  This polish of course gives your nail a "cracked" effect; however, I have become very displeased with the crackle polish from OPI.  It got very thick and goopy and nasty.  I heard a few others talk about that theirs had turned out the same way.  I honestly thought I had a bad polish so I purchased another black one and a few others and at the end they all turned out the same.  I only had them about a week or so.  No bueno.  I haven't used them since.

    Born Pretty Store had asked if I would like to review another one of their items and I said sure why not.  I chose to get a crackle nail polish.  I wanted to see if ALL crackle polishes were like OPI's.  I received my package a little over 3 weeks ago and I can honestly say I'm very happy with it. 

    I received the Purple Cracking Nail Polish - L036 to review.  I just told the PR to send me whichever one and I got this one.  In all fairness I'm no good when it comes to applying nail polish, please forgive the "coloring outside of the line" look. 
    
    The bottle is 15ml-0.5fl oz
    What I found odd about this crackle polish is when you apply it, it dries to a matte almost white color.
    Weird right?  However, once you apply your top coat it turns into this awesome purple color.  I used Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat.

    What's awesome about this polish is that it's not thick or goopy.  I tried this polish twice to make sure that it wouldn't turn thick or goopy.  
    Not thick or goopy!  I really liked this one.  For those of you who love the "crackle" look this polish would be perfect for you.  It lasted for a 5 days before it started to chip on me (I used a bottom coat, Zoya NP in Dove, Crackle NP and a top coat), which isn't too bad.  

    Of course with Born Pretty Store the more you buy the less it cost.
    They also offer FREE shipping, but I rather pay the extra shipping cost to get it sooner.  If you live in the US it usually takes about 4 or 5 weeks before you get your items if you choose free shipping.

    Overall Thoughts:
    I'm really like this nail polish and would purchase another color to add to my collection.  Check out their website  to see all the colors they carry.

    I give this product 4 out of 5 stars

    Till next time....stay beautiful!!
