Ahoy! I'm Scattered & Tattered!!!

I know I've been MIA lately and I apologize. A little over 2 months ago I started dating a really awesome and wonderful guy so I haven't had a lot of down time. I decided to go through some of the old photos I had saved that never got posted. Since this is an old mani please excuse the the not so great clean up.

First up is this pretty mani:

So pretty right?? Here's how it came to life!!

I started out with 2 coats of China Glaze "Ahoy!" which is a deep magenta jelly polish with a gold shimmer. I'm normally not a fan of pink, but I love it when it's pink nail polish lol. It's really weird, but it works :)

 I wish I could have gotten a better picture of the shimmer, but trust me, it's really pretty. 

 I then added 2 coats of China Glaze "Scattered & Tattered"

 This was apart of the Glitz Bitz 'N Pieces Collection. This polish is made up of various red and black glitters in a clear base 

I really love Glitz Bitz 'N Pieces polishes, which is why I bought the whole collection lol. These are awesome layering polishes 

Well that's it for today. I am going to try and post again soon, but since it is a holiday weekend I can't promise lol. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!!!

Kiss My Sass Cosmetics Review

So first off I know I've been busy for awhile and I haven't been around. I've been going through a lot of changes in my life and have been working on getting things in order and get into a new swing. Today I have a review post for you. I purchased the items at a discount rate for the purpose of  review. The company is Kiss My Sass Cosmetics. I bought a review pack that included 10 samples of my choice. I also bought a few other samples.

First I am going to show you the eye shadows I got. All shadows are swatched over the "Ivory" Matte Eye Primer from Kiss my Sass. I also got a sample of the "White" primer. I like these because they are smooth and creamy.



All pictures of swatches are Left over primer and Right no primer.


First up is Minx
 
Minx is described as:  light tan/beige with shimmer that shifts between pink & green



Naughty Dog is described as: vivid blue with pink/magenta sparkles. This is one of my favorites of the bunch.



Poison Ivy is described as: grass green with a gold and copper sheen

 The shimmer in this shadow is very noticeable.



Purple Poppymagenta/purple with matching shimmer



 Shady is a: light to medium brown/taupe with turquoise/blue/purple color shifting shimmer/sheen



 Sleepy Hollow is described as: charcoal gray with a copper sheen



 Tattoo Shop is: a black base with an extreme amount of blue & purple sparkles (best applied over a sticky base in a "patting" motion; if you blend too much you will be left with just the black base)



Tea Rose is a: peachy pink with golden shimmer



Vegas is a: bright sparkling gold




 This one is my favorite of the bunch and I just love it so much!
Broken Hearted is described as a: intense pinky-red with gold shimmer

 So beautiful!


 This was a free gift with purchase that was included in my order. Oceanside Sunset is not for sale on the site, but I thought it was pretty enough to include in this post. I'm not totally sure how to describe it  but it is a very nice color.


 This was included in my order as a gift too. I don't use blush at all, but I wanted to swatch it since I know there are a lot of girls that use it so I wanted you to see what it looks like :)
Cotton Candy is a: a vibrant pink with minimal shimmer



 Last up is a lip glaze called Trophy Wife is described as a: clear to sheer white with gold sparkles It also has a marshmallow flavor which is awesome.


So all in all I like everything I got. The shadows are beautiful and applied great, but they are better when used over a primer to make them look their best. If your looking for some great products you should really check out Kiss My Sass Cosmetics!!!

Thanks for reading and I hope to be getting posts up more often. I also am putting together a giveaway that I hope to have up soon. Have a great day!!
