NOTD: Zoya 'Jana' Nail Polish

Today I am delighted to share with you my nail of the day! Today I painted my nails a very autumn-esque color that is extremely beautiful in color and matches with absolutely everything.

 

This polish is perfect for fall, as it is a mid-toned taupe color that has a fair amount of chocolate brown to it as well. Though it only lasts about 3 days on my nails before severely chipping, Jana has a very nice cream finish that may make up for it. And of course, I used my Orly Calcium Shield as a base coat and Sech Vite as my top coat.

I really like this nail polish so far, and it is definitely one of my favorite, go-to nail polishes for this season. Zoya retails for $8 per polish and I believe that Zoya can be purchased on their online website(Click here to go to the official Zoya website) and in some beauty supply stores as well. 

Thank you for your time and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Wet n Wild Walking On Eggshells Eyeshadow Trio Review + Swatches

Today I am going to be doing a review on the Wet n Wild eyeshadow trio in the color Walking On Eggshells.

I am in LOVE with this palette. Do not the cheap looking packaging deceive you, for the actual product is amazing beyond belief. It actually comes with a sponge tip applicator, but I removed it from the palette because I do not use it. It comes with a cool shimmery white for the brow bone, a golden cocoa-brown color with gold shimmer for the crease, and a stunning light rose pink for a lid color.

Firstly, let me just say that the texture of these eyeshadows are the most brilliant I have ever come across. They are super buttery and smooth, and the pigmentation is flawless! With a primer, these last all day long, although they may fade a teeny bit. The quality of these eyeshadows are actually better than MAC in my opinion, which is quite a statement to make.

All in all, I think that this trio is a must-have drugstore product for all eyeshadow junkies. Not to mention the many flattering remarks I have received while wearing these eyeshadows in combination, these are truly wondrous colors. Blabbering aside, these trios retail for USD $2.99 and can be purchased at CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens. I urge you to try this palette if you see it anywhere- it is honestly the best!

Thank you for your time,

KOJI Dolly Wink Eyeliner Review + Swatches

Hello everyone! Today I am going to be doing a review on the Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Liner.

First off, let me just say that the packaging is awfully adorable. Though I do think that Koji may have changed their packaging slights, but I believe it is pretty similar to their old one with their signature polka-dot pattern. Now, this eyeliner is water-proof with a rather skinny felt tip. Thus, it allows the user to achieve precise eyeliner application with ease. Also, I find that the felt tip point makes creating winged liner much easier.Because it is a waterproof formula, it dries very shortly after application and has magical staying power- it does not budge from morning to night.

The pigmentation is absolutely flawless. It is a straight up black and definitely not one of those awkward kind-of-black colors.

This eyeliner retails for HKD$128 and can be purchased from Sasa and can be easily found on online stores and websites. Though it is not exactly cheap, it is amazing for beginners especially since the felt tip gives you the ability to make your eyeliner look really great and almost professionally-done. Overall, I recommend this liquid liner immensely to anyone in search of an outstanding one.

Thank you for your time,
