Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara Review

Hello ladies!

I didn't want to post a video about this because it's going to be quick and short! First of all, let me tell you about my lashes! My lashes are straight and decently long. I NEED to use a waterproof formula mascara otherwise it won't hold a curl at all! I was very excited about this mascara because it was made in Japan and I thought, well usually asians have the same lashes (or so I've heard) so I picked it up! Unfortunately, it does NOT hold my curl at all! I use a lash curler to curl my lashes and then when I apply it, it droops down and looks like I didn't even curl my lashes. So, unfortunately for me, it's a return. =( If it worked out for you, let me know and lucky you! The packaging is beautiful and the brush is unique! However, the product just didn't cut it for me. 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope this helped any of you ladies out there!

Love,
Nalani

Here & There

So ..I felt like taking some pictures before this gorgeous weather that MN has been experiencing goes away. Not professional in anyway, haha my sister took these for me with my digital camera! Thats how we do it! But just thought that I'd share some of them with you! It's just me, so bad, good, ugly w/e. IDC. (; You do you & Imma' do me BLAH! XD


Strut that s*** (;


Lookin' down ....O_o


Lookin' out ... o_O lol


I just wanted to take a picture next to this cool pepsi machine! (:


I have quite a long face. lol. 


& finally a close-up of my makeup. it was just super quick and random. I actually didn't like it that much but didn't want to re-do it so I just stuck with it. I was more excited to use the two MAC E/S that I recently got, which I mixed to get that GORGEOUS pale color on the inner lid space, Brule and Vanilla.

Thanks so much to my sister Xeenia! <3 Hope yall' had fun scrollin' up and down!

LOVE,

Abby



Since Nkuana posted a picture of Nattie, I thought I should post one of Abby! Abby's my doggy. =) She'll be 2 years old on Valentines Day! She's a handful, but I love her! Isn't she cuuute?! She's a Yorkie/Maltese! xD teehee 

Physician's Formula First Impression & Demo

Hey there beauties!!!

This is just a quick video of my first impressions of some Physician's Formula products! I'll list all the products and my thoughts down below. I hope you enjoy!




Products & Thoughts:

Healthy Wear SPF 50 Powder Foundation in Natural Beige
I was very disappointed with this "foundation"! It didn't cover anything at all. My face still looked the same as it did AFTER a few applications! The color is really light in the pan, so I'm not sure how it'll look after it oxidizes. The packaging is really cute with the orange and pink case and it comes with a mirror and sponge! However, the product was a fail for me. =(

Magic Mosaic Multi Colored Custom Bronzer - 3846 Light Bronzer/Bronzer
I really liked the bronzer! It's not orange at all! It also comes with a brush and a mirror! You use a little bit more product than you would the Benefit Hoola Bronzer, however it wears even more beautifully (dare I say it!) than the Hoola. =X AND it's cheaper and good for sensitive skin! I like that it's a mosaic bronzer, that way you can customize how light you want the bronzer or how bronzed you'd like to be. Hence, the name of the product. It's a very good bronzer for the price you pay (even though I got it on sale, I'd still repurchase!) If you don't have money or don't want to spend the money on a high end bronzer, this bronzer would be a great alternative!

Mineral Wear Blush - Rosy Glow
This blush is a really subtle pinky blush. It's a really nice color! I wouldn't recommend this color to someone who has NC40ish skin. I don't think it would show that much, however! Maybe it would be a great pinky highlight? It's a really smooth blush and I think it's a great color for any range of skin colors up to NC40 at the most! I would repurchase this!

Alright! I hope this helped you guys in any way possible! Let me know what I should do with the foundation! Should I return it and get something else? Or should I just keep it and try to use it? I'm really itching to just return it and get something else. I'm kind of picky about my products. If I know I won't use it, then I'll return it because it's not worth keeping and just sitting in my makeup stash. But let me know your thoughts on these products! Hope this was helpful! Down below are some pictures of swatches and my face with these products, besides the foundation because I forgot that. (:





 Sorry this picture is so dark! It's hard to find lighting in my room. 
L-R: Powder Foundation (Natural Beige), Bronzer, Blush

Nattie & her elephant


Nattie!!!!! <3
my loveeee, I miss her everyday when I'm at school. She can be such a brat! & she takes her time walking towards ya when you're telling her to hurry up, it's like she's doing it on purpose just to get on your nerves. She scratches the couch, pillows and anything she can get her claws movin on. She likes to come and sleep right under me while I'm sitting on my swivel chair, she'll rest her head on one of the legs and just K.O. there. She can jump on the bed but wont, and will wait there, whimper and beg for me to pick her up and put her on the bed. Yeah ...I love her to death. 

Fact: Nattie's eyes are bigger than normal. 

LOVE,
Nkuana
