REVIEW:

Overall, I'm super impressed with the quality of these shadows. They aren't extremely glittery or chunky at all. I have had issues with the mattes blending out on the primer, but I'm sure that's a formulation issue [she is already in the works to make the mattes better]. The Charcoal Signature Scrubie is a great weekly treat that my face has really been loving. You can purchase these beautiful shadows on their website www.myprettylittleaddiction.com. If you want a more in depth review, please check out my video on my YT channel! Thank you, as always, for reading :)

My Shade Of Brown Pillow Box! ::May::

Hey Guys!!
I wanted to bring your attention to a monthly subscription service named My Shade of Brown. My Shade of Brown is specifically geared towards women of color, not just of African American descent. So, for $10 a month, you get their "Pillow Box" that's filled with 4 to 5 deluxe beauty samples. For right now, they're doing a deal where you can get your first Pillow Box for $5, so head over to http://www.myshadeofbrown.com to get your first Pillow Box!! 


Now onto the things I received:

My Pillow Box

Their Label

The description card

All my goodies!!

Close Ups:

Overall, for $10 a month, I don't think this is a bad monthly subscription at all. I especially like that its geared towards WOC and I'll definitely be looking forward to my second box!

**I paid for this subscription with my own money. I was not asked to review or show these products. These are all my honest opinions**

Beauty Tag: This or That?

I was looking on Love, Destinee's blog and noticed she did a very fun, quick, and cute beauty tag that I wanted to try!

Questions:
Blush or Bronzer?
Lipstick or Lip gloss?
Eyeliner or Mascara?
Foundation or Concealer?
Neutral or Color Eyeshadow?
Loose or Pressed Eyeshadow?
Brushes or Sponges?

 

 

Blush or Bronzer?

Definitely blush!! I don't use bronzer at all, but I love to have pink or coral cheeks!

Lipstick or Lipgloss?

I am a gloss girl! If I want a colored lip, I usually go for a highly pigmented gloss

Eyeliner or Mascara?

This is a very hard one for me! I love them both, but I think I could survive without mascara. I love black eyeliner!

Foundation or Concealer?

I have dark acne spots, but I think if you get a full coverage foundation, you could somewhat disguise the spots... So I choose foundation.

Neutral or Colored Eyeshadow?

I reach for colored shadow much more than neutral.

Loose or Pressed Eyeshadow?

Pigments are soooo messy, but I think they are better. If I'm in a rush I'll go for pressed, but if I have time I'll def. reach for my loose shadows.

Brushes or Sponges?

Brushes hands down. The only time I use sponges are if I'm doing my friend's makeup.
