Bye Bye Smudge.

Melting on a hot day?

No one like to have their perfect make up look melt away on them on a hot day. Even worse the eyeliner smudging down beneath their eyes, giving them the not intended smudged look of death.

Here is a quick and easy tip!

If you don't appreciate the way a pencil liner melts in the sweltering heat, opt to change for an eyeshadow instead. Using a very narrow tipped brush or applicator you can dust your favorite color close to your lashes.

Bye bye smudge and hello sexy eyes!

e.l.f. Sparkle Eye Shadow

This cute heart shape eye shadow from e.l.f.'s "sugar kiss collection" is the next makeup product I have received. It is absolutely adorable!!

Here is what the package reads: "Get instant glamour with eye shadow that dazzles and sparkles. Why, because eye heart you!"

Ohhh my goodness how charming and sweet!!

The eyeshadow is in a plastic heart shaped locket, and has two colors on the inside of the locket hearts.

The heart shaped locket I received is called "blink". How appropriate... since blinking is what you will be doing with this on. ;)

e.l.f. Lip Liner Pencils

This package has 2 Lip Liners Pencils and one cute heart shape Sharpener. The shade I have chosen is Natural.

e.l.f. claims that the Velvety ProVitamin Complex™ color caresses your lips with naturally long-lasting, never feathering, hydrating pigments.

Many will tell you that a Lip Liner is exactly just that, but I'm here to tell you they are wrong!


Oh Yes Must Have: It was very smooth and glided so nicely on my lips as I outlined them. On very dry hot days during the summer my lips would get very dry, yet I would still be able to apply the liner... Read full article

I had ordered this one for my daughter, but as soon as it arrived I just had to test it out first! (humm to make sure it meets Beauty Diva standards of course)

It was the fruity friday flavored gloss and it came in a metal tin with a sliding lid.

The packaging read: Sugar is sweet and so are you! Lick your lips with this yummy candy flavored gloss.

Let's see just how yummy this gloss can really be!!



Oh Yes Must Have: It was very convenient to just drop it in my purse when I was rushing in the mornings. It had an incredible fruity taste to it, the flavoring... Read full article
