HOMEMADE MAKEUP Brush ROLLS by Teresa! Review, PICS and A new STORE

I swear I have no idea how I find such amazing people on MUA!!

YUP!! That's right! The SAME talented gal that makes the awesome lippie holder, now makes home made makeup brush rolls. They are gorgeous and what I have always been looking for! I have always wanted one of these to store my makeup brushes in and I also wanted a way that  I could travel with my full sizes brushes without ruining them

Theresa has a blog, The T Collection, where she plans on doing future give aways of her lippie holders and makeup brush rolls. She makes a ton of other things as well, which she displays on her blog, so you should follow her so that you don't miss a thing! She is also always open to swaps on MUA under the name teresaellis (she loves to swap for MAC!!)
AND she just opened up an etsy store as well!! You can check it out HERE  and she sells handbags, aprons and her lippie holders on their too! She is just sooo talented. I can not get enough of her!

ON TO THE MAKEUP BRUSH ROLL


This how it looks closed and empty



I love that it has a pocket in the front. You can slide in a blush or eyeshadow compact.



Opened


Close up of the fabric


Back-it has four pockets in the back (including the one in the front, when it is rolled up), which could be filled with something small and flexable, maybe some cotton pads or oil absorbing sheets


Her own label! I'm so proud of her!


Filled


Closed, filled with all the brushes and the NARS duo in the front pocket.


Her business card


OVERALL


This makeup brush roll is everything I had hoped it would be. The fabric is very sturdy and thick, as well as the stitching. This could defiantly hold up a wash in the washing machine if it got dirty.

It fits 10 brushes perfectly, closes and ties up with ease. I also REALLY like the bonus extra pockets in the front and along the back. It is great for extra storage, like tissues, q-tips, or  cotton balls

The brush roll is beyond PERFECT for travel and even everyday storage use.

If you like what you saw, check out Teresa's store HERE. She makes them in many different prints and colors, so hopefully you will find one that fits your personality.

I got new Eye Glasses!!!

What do you think?? They are by Candies
I normally wear contacts because they are easier for me to see in. I am blind as a bat! My prescription is      -6.50. My doctor told me I would be legally blind if it wasn't for my glasses or contacts. I usually just wear my glasses around the house and on the weekends. Going out in them for long periods of time really gives me a headache and I can not drive with them at night.

I only wore them to work one day just to test them out and people at work told me I look smarter with them on... oh..geeze..thanks! lol

THE EYE GLASSES





I love the sides if them



ON ME





It was a pain to do my makeup because I am so blind! I had to put in my contacts to do my makeup then take them out when I was done. If I didn't do that I would not be able to see where anything was because obviously, I need to take my glasses off to do my eye makeup..lol :)

On a side note..WOW..I can not believe I have a 100 followers now..thank you soo much everyone. This blog is really an amazing stress reliever for me with everything else going on. I enjoy hearing every one's opinions and just talking makeup! I am so happy that people enjoy this blog and find it helpful. I am planning a giveaway soon. Everything I have ordered is not here yet, but I hope it will be here soon
Thanks so much everyone!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) Lip TARS, SWATCHES, Review and WHERE to buy SAMPLES

OVERALL


Even though these lip tars are packaged and look like lip glosses, do not let that deceive you. These are VERY pigmented and a very little amount of them goes a LONG way.

Another bonus to these is that they are really created to be mixed, so that you create your own colors. That is why OCC sells white, black,yellow, purple, blue and green lip tars. So you could potentially have A LOT of more colors and a lot of fun with these lip tars creating your own unique colors.


My faves so far are NSFW, Memento, and of course HOOCHIE!! LOL


So what do you think of these lip tars? WHAT are your favorite colors if you have already tried them?

Sugar Pill Burning Heart Quad-Review and Swatches

I just received the Sugar Pill Burning Heart Quad. Mainly because I REALLY wanted poison plum, it is one of the most gorgeous shades of purple I have ever seen and with my disappointment in MAC's shock-a-holic (you can read about it here), I needed something to redeem it.

I also wanted buttercup,after seeing xsparkage do a look with it ( you can see it here, it the first pic in the post) and I really want to start doing more colorful looks, so I said "what the heck, let me get the quad!"

You can buy the quad at Sugarpill.com and it is $34 with $6 shipping. You can also buy the shadows separately for $12. They also sell amazing loose eyeshadow for $12, as well.

In the Burning Heart Quad, there are four brightly colored, extremely pigmented colors.
It includes four colors (descriptions are from Surgarpill.com)

Buttercup-The brightest bright matte yellow with awesome opaque coverage
Love+-Bright red with a semi-pearly sheen! Not for the faint-hearted
Poison Plum-Dramatic purple with a semi-pearly sheen
Flampoint-Vibrant matte orange


FIRST IMPRESSION


This is how is was shipped to me! I thought the box was adorable, with the sticker and the stamp of the sugarpill logo. I also like that the receipt was personalized and signed by Amy, the owner. I love a personal touch like that!

WHATS INSIDE

This is how it was packaged. I love the pink tissue paper and the extra sugarpill stickers and cards. I stick them on my mirror :)

THE BOX

The box it was in is beautiful! I love the art work on it

THE PALETTE

I also love the art work on the palette case. It is a very sturdy, thick case with a magnetic closure and mirror

SWATCHES

BUTTERCUP

LOVE+

POISON PLUM  luv luv luv

FLAMPOINT


ALL TOGETHER



OVERALL

I think this palette is defiantly worth the money. I have not seen any shadow with this amazing pigmentation. The shadows are NOT soft or chalky. They go on very smoothly and are SUPER vibrant. These swatches were a breeze to do. I would even go as far as to say that some of these shade are more pigmented then some MAC shadows and defiantly better than any color in the 120 or 88 palette. Even though they are bright and pigmented you can still swipe the brush over you eye to get the full effect, you do not have to to pat or do any special ttechniques to get the color to show up. If you love color or need some good quality colors added to your collection, then this is sooo your palette

I can not wait to do looks with this palette! I hope I have some time soon to play with it soon!

What do you think of the palette?

Another LOTD with the 88 Warm Palette and UD has a sale!

I am loving this palatte..LOL
You may have seen this pic in few other places..lol...I wore this when I went to go vist my family in MA.

MAC to NYX Dupe list

ARE THEY REALLY THE SAME?

Hey Everyone! I found this NYX to MAC dupe this from Specktra. Above are pitcures of NYX Atlantic and MAC Freshwater, which are clamied to be dupes of each other, but will soon see if this is true!

I thought it would be neat to do a NYX to MAC dupe series, so the ones highlighted on the list in yellow are MAC shades that I own (highlighted in green I am getting soon) and I will buy the NYX shades, to see how close of a dupe they really are, take pictures, swatches, and write a quick review, so you can judge for yourself before buying either one of the shadows.As I buy more MAC shadows (my collection is always growing) more will be added! So what do you think of this idea?

I will also put a link in the sidebar of my blog so can quickly referance the the list and the dupes, as I post them.

Hope you enjoy the list!!
