The most versatile makeup ever!

I'm so obsessed with this product, and of you try it you will be too! Blend Mineral Cosmetics carry these pigment pots that are absolutely incredible. The color is very vibrant and they have them in every color imaginable, literally. I got them at a little kiosk in the Lakewood Mall when I was visiting there, and it was so hard to decide what colors I wanted, because I wanted them all! Unfortunately, I'm not rich, so I had to settle for 8 of them :p

The most amazing part about these pigments, is that they're not necessarily 'pigments' they're pure minerals. Meaning you can use them for ANYTHING! I use mine as a loose shadow, add some water and make it a cream shadow/liner, add a little Vaseline, it's a lip color, you can even add it to clear nail polish! I'm dying to get more colors. They have glitters too!

Pinup inspired eye

A more modern take on a classic style. On this look I used UD primer potion, a bright white from Sephora in the inner corners and as a highlight, a matte cream shade on the lid, and a matte brown by MAC (espresso I believe) on the crease. I used Almay liquid liner in Black for the wing! I used a white liner on the bottom waterline, and a bit of "chopper" by UD under the eye. Then a set of falsies and about three coats of black mascara!

And the most important part of a pinup face, a defined, arched brow. I used a dark brown shadow and an angle brush to define them.

Barbie Pink Pout.

Pink Nuveau by MAC!
It's seriously the prettiest pink I've ever used. Also, I really like the satin finish. It's very "Nicki Minaj-esque." Definitely repurchase worthy.
I decided to make my first review post about a product that I am IN LOVE with. Butter Me Baby Shea Butter by Hearts Desires Soap Co. I love this stuff! I use a few products from this company, and they're all amazing, especially for people with sensitive skin. The great thing about their products is that all of them are 100% organic. I use this Shea butter on my face, as well as a soap from their company called "Kaizen", and I use the butter on my body as well. It's incredible for people with eczema or psoriasis, (which I have.) I had four spots on my legs and after using that soap and this Shea butter, gone. It is a must in my skin care routine.
