Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette

I am a bit late for this review but, I been using the Vice 4 palette for a few years and realized I never posted the photos. This palette has 20 limited edition of new colors. The colors are mostly micro glitter and have some fallout during application. The eyeshadows can be used without a primer but, I would recommend using one. I usually love UD's bright eye shadow but, I saw and own some recent ones that are not safe for application near the eye. I feel like an eyeshadow palette should be safe to use near the eye and they should provide reasons for not being safe. At the rate I am going, please expect the new palette to be reviewed in 2036.

Nick Chavez Plump n' Thick Shampoo

The volumizing shampoo promises to wash away dirt and excess oil while revitalizing fullness and lifeless locks. The shampoo is enriched with collagen, wheat protein, vitamin A, C, and E, retinol, keratin, panthenol, and amino acids. The shampoo provided a generous lather and washed out cleanly. My hair felt thicker and more luxurious than before. It is a little pricer than my normal everyday shampoo but, it has great results that I reserve it for special occasions.

Lush Rose Jam Bubbleroon

Ah, how I love taking baths and using Lush products. I am sad that the weather is warming up where it's becoming a bit easier and better (for me at least) to take a cool shower.  However, occasionally I will take a bath here and there. I love Lush's bath bombs and my new favorites are their bubbleroon. Their bubbleroon is essentially a bubble bar that you crumble under running water to create a luscious foam. The Rose Jam scent is enriched with rose absolute extract and lemon oil that smells dreamy. It has organic fair-trade cocoa butter to leave skin silky smooth and soft.  You can split this bubbleroon in two for twice as much fun!

Hank and Henry Stick With It - Blickity Black Eyeliner

I have heard many good things about this brand but, this was my first Hank and Henry product. I was very excited to try the eyeliner because it was a very hyped up product. I was sadly disappointed at the quality of both the product and the packaging. The eyeliner came out very watery and bleed. And usually, the product would start pooling by the tip. And no matter how gently and how I stored the eyeliner, the top would fray the brush making it look dingy after just two uses. For $20, I expected better.

Make Up For Ever Artist Creme Lipstick - 404 Passion Red

Ahh, how I love lip products and I really love bold lip colors. I am so sad that the only place I can really wear lipstick is at home. The cool-toned red lipstick has a satin finish. It goes on like butter and feels pleasant on the lips. It provided full coverage with one swipe and lasted a few hours even with drinking. The lipstick felt light on the lips and didn't bleed or feather. I probably should hold off on getting more lipsticks but, who are we kidding? I am placing an order while posting this review.

Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower Eye Contour

The hydrogel eye patch is enriched with cornflower water, arnica, and chamomile extracts. It promises to reduce fatigue and under-eye puffiness while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and dark circles. I love using face masks but, some days I rather use an eye mask for days when I haven't been sleeping well. I don't notice a significant change of appearance when using the mask but, I like the relaxing and hydration benefits it provides. Also, this mask has a soft fabric topping that makes it ideal to use when applying makeup as it catches lose eyeshadow dust that would normally fall on my face.

Sundays Nail Polish - No. 18

I love trying new nail polish brands and since I am home more often, I have more "time" to paint my nails. Out of my ten fingers, only one nail currently has polish and it's chipped. I heard good things about this brand and they recently opened a salon near my job (right before the pandemic).

I figured what better time than now to try this brand. The 10 free nail polish is vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic. The shade is listed as a deep plum berry color. I have a similar color in different brands as this is one of my favorite shades for the fall. However, the nail polish didn't apply smoothly and it didn't provide a full and even coverage. I am hoping its just a bad formula for this particular color as I bought a few colors to take advantage of their free shipping promotion.

Ahhh...oops

So, you might notice that some of the photos I uploaded recently and in the past was deleted. Apparently, I was coming up against my limit for my blog and didn't realize that the photos that were in "archive" was tied to my 15Gbs limit. Going forward I will be posting fewer photos as this blog is mostly for fun and I make zero money off it. It financially doesn't make sense to pay a $200 upgrade charge just to store the photos. I am debating just moving my blog to a book review only site. Let me know your thoughts!
