M.A.C Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow - Product, Swatches, Review

MAC Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow

MAC Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow (Back)

MAC Eyeshadow: 

Highly Pigmented Powder. Applies evenly, Blends well.

MAC Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow

MAC Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow Swatch

MAC Chrome Yellow Eyeshadow:

Its a matte vivid Yellow. Its has a very smooth texture. The pigmentation of this shadow is pretty good but you really have to work with it to make it come up good. It is like a pressed shadow form of Primary Yellow Pigment. This Shadow is part of the permanent line.

My Thoughts:

Personally even though I like this shadow very much, I don't find myself grabbing for it very often. It just takes a little bit of work. I prefer using the Screwdriver shadow from my Sleek Curacao Palette. It just alot more easier to work with because it has a creamier texture. Its not a cream shadow but it just has this texture which gives it a better color pay-off. A few layers of the Chrome Yellow shadow will do the trick over a white or yellow base. Its not a neon Yellow but its good for a bright look.

Where Can You Get It:

Inspired by the glimmering lights and iconic landmarks of New York City, Book of Shadows Vol III features 16 eyeshadows that go way beyond neutrals and brights, including SEVEN NEW shades with names like Loaded, Rockstar and Money. We've also included nine best-sellers in a range of sizzling textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte

This Pallete Contain 16s beautifully pigmented eye shadows. Each eye shadow has its own unique color. Some have been repeated before or are in the permanent line. It also contain 2 24/7 Glide on Pencils and a travel size Primer Potion.

Urban Decay Primer Potion: Its a very good primer. It provides a good base to eye shadows. It dries clear.

Manly Palette Review.

Manly Palette Review

Hey guys,

So today I am going to do my long awaited Manly palette review. I got this palette a while back but I was just so busy with school that I didn’t get around to reviewing it.

Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette Review

     This palette was sent to me for reviewing by colorfulonline.com. At first I wasn’t very sure about it so I had to check out many video reviews of manly palettes on Youtube. I saw a couple of them and I was quite impressed. This palette has really good color pigmentation and I am really impressed by how many colors are actually provided in this palette. They range from light to dark and shimmer to matte.

It reminds me of the BHcosmetics 120 palette. Best thing about the palette is that the colors are not chalky. They are very smooth and apply easily.

Both sides of the palette

This palette also contains a few M.A.C eye shadow dupes including M.A.C’s Chrome Yellow which is a bright matte yellow.

First side of the pallete

One bad thing is that they do tend to fade away quickly if you don’t use an eye shadow primer.

Second side of the palette

PROS:

Cheap, inexpensive palette

Great for beginners

Good pigmentation

Wide color range

Smooth application

A few of my favorite colors from the palette

Cons:

Color don’t last very long.

With primer and Without primer difference

Hope you guys like my review.

Is there really an age for makeup?

Hey guys,
    Now a while back got my first hater comment on my Midnight Jade post and i mostly don't really care about such stuff  but this was something that has always bothered me.  I have always heard people go like "Oh you are too young for makeup." or "Your a kid you don't know a thing about makeup." and all i say is "There is no age for makeup" or "I know a lot more than you do.". But it really bothers me when people comment on posts saying "no one cares how you do your makeup." or "no one cares what you think." If you don't care just click that little X button in the top right corner and just X out. Why do you have to leave a hater comment? Does that make you feel better about yourself? Oh Boohoo she is going to cry tonight i left her a hater comment! Seriously!!!

 I blog about what i love and one day i hope i get very successful in this field. I am not saying i put on makeup 24/7 JEEZ! Its just something i like. I don't see you going up to a 14 year old who loves Medicine and telling them that No one gives a shoot about what they think of Medicine or i don't see you going up to a 14 year old who loves fashion and telling her that No one is going to follow her style because she is 14! So why do people bring up this AGE FACTOR when it comes to makeup? I don't even know why this is bothering me so much but i probably wont even remember this when i wake up in the morning. Well maybe i just needed to make my point clear.

In the words of Gregory Gorgeous: HATERS = HEARTS

Beauty For Less:Top 5 Budget Beauty Tips

Hey Guys,
I am sorry i have been M.I.A for some time now but i have just been so busy reading the book "My Feudal Lord'. I will maybe do a separate book review on that book because it is just worth it. Okay so lets get back to what this blog post was actually about. As you can see from the title above this is going to be a beauty tips post and many people have been requesting me to do a beauty for less post so here it is.

TOP 5 BUDGET BEAUTY TIPS:

1.Dust blusher over your eyelids as an instant subtle eyeshadow.

2. Stand a dried-up mascara in a glass of warm water to revive it.

3. Turn lipstick into lip gloss with a coat of lip balm after applying color.

4.A drop of olive oil rubbed nightly into your nails will help them grow long and strong, and it is cheaper as compared to manicure oils.

5. Swap commercial face scrubs for a handful of oatmeal massaged directly on to your skin - smooth soft skin naturally.

Hope you guys liked this post.
