Haul: Bundle Monster Nail Stamps

Hey Everyone, So I have been feeling very into decorating my nails lately. So my friend mentioned to me about Nail Stamps. So Naturally I went on youtube to find out more about it. So I was very intrigued. And it seemed easy to do. So I went on Amazon and ordered some. I ordered the 21 pc and 25 pc (2011 collection) from Bundle Monster and I ordered a plate holder to ensure it made less for me to clean up :)
Since both items were from different sellers. I got my products separately. My plate holder arrived within 9 days after I ordered it. My Bundle Monster took about 2.5 weeks to arrive. So thats not so bad. But my stamper and scraper has yet to arrive so I haven't started yet.. Super excited to try! When I receive my Stamper and Scraper. I will post photos and reviews ^_^


XOXO

Review : Just lenses....

Hey Everyone, So I finally got my contacts after ordering for over 6 weeks. So I just thought I would review on the company I used to order them :) So normally if you buy your contacts in Jamaica, I realized how expensive it can be... Thats why I had decided to order mine online for half the price as here in Jamaica. So I ordered from a site called "Justlenses.com" So much cheaper... And more varieties and I have enough contacts to last me for 2 years or so.. Because my regular contacts has 12 pairs! And normally You can wear your contacts up to 3 months or unless they tear. And I decided to get 2 shades of coloured ones. Each box holds 6 contacts (3 pairs) So I ordered a brown and gray :) They ship straight to Jamaica. My friend orders his contacts and ship it to Jamaica from 1- 800 contacts. And When I compared the prices. It just seemed cheaper to order from Just lenses. But then my friend received his contacts in just two weeks. I was told my contacts would arrive within 10 - 12 business days... But it did not come with a tracking code.. And in the end... it took 6 weeks to arrive... So I was pretty disappointed about that... But as my friend said... its the service that you pay for rather the contacts. But I didn't mind because I wasn't in a rush. This site only sells prescribed contacts. So if you are looking for the fashion ones for colors. This is not the site for you. But some stores do sell the fashion ones. Just thought I would point out that those cases do NOT come with my contact. I actually ordered them. Its a cute travel case which is perfect for me.. Because I would rather pop those into my bag. It contains a Mirror , Contacts bottle (for solution), tweezer, Lens container and Contacts stick. I haven't really tried to use the contacts stick yet. But this just seems perfect for me because I'm always out dealing with things and work. So onto the Q & A's !  ^_^


Q: Why did you order from this company?
A: Jamaica is so expensive and I saved more than half the amount of money on all of my contacts. 


Q: How did you find this website / company?
A: Google is an amazing thing... 


Q: What do you think of their service?
A: I have to give it 3.5 stars. They do notify you that your order was received and been shipped out. Also they have friendly customer service and live chat on the site to help you :)


Q: What did you hate about this site?
A: They gave a false impression as to when I would receive my contacts 


Q: How are their prices?
A: Their prices are more than reasonable.. Considering how much they are charging in Jamaica in optical stores. Which is atrocious! 


Q: Would you order from them again? 
A: I would. But I might try from 1- 800 contacts. But I don't need to order any contacts for a good while 


Q: Whats the best thing about this site?
A: They actually have bulk orders you get them cheaper! My contacts aren't going to expire till 2016 - 2017! Also they have reviews on all the contacts so you can read and compare to find which is the one for you! 


I hope this was helpful if you are planning to order your contacts anytime soon :)

My opinions on : Maybelline 24 hour color tattoos

Hey Everyone,
I know this is a super late kinda been busy with alot of stuff... I actually had two of these for months now... But I was waiting for when the stores restocked on the Bold gold and Bad to the Bronze shade for me to purchase before I wrote up about it...  So There are about ten colors I think. But I was only interested in five shades. And I haven't been able to get my hands on the tenacious teal. So disappointed.. But I'm quite happy on the shades I have now...  So In this blog I have swatches of all four shades I own which are ( in order) : Tough as Taupe, Bold Gold, Bad to the Bronze and Audacious Asphalt. Because I knew these shades were what I would mostly use... For neutrals, warms or smokey eye looks... Which is mostly what I aim for :) So basically these shadows are great but I tend to use them mostly as a base... to bring out my brilliant eye shadows.. and they are also amazing as eyeliners... if you wanna give a pop of color ( I wish I was able to get the teal for this) I haven't really tried these on for 24 hours.. But I do notice without primer.. It does crease quite a bit. So if you thought you didn't need a primer. You were deeply wrong. So time for Q& A time :) 


Q: What do you think of this product?
A: I love the shades and that its easy to blend, I think its amazing for a base as well, does wonders :)


Q: What do you normally use this product with?
A: I tend to use my Kat Von D primer (sold at sephora) or my Urban Decay Primer potion as a primer and I use my Urban Decay Naked Palette or Nyx single eyeshadows over it :) 


Q: Whats your favorite thing about this product?
A: I love that its creamy and easy to blend.. and its not as easy to crease (if you have primer on) and its smooth enough for me to use also as an eyeliner :) 


Q: What do you think of the price of the product?
A: I actually think the price is more than reasonable because of two reasons 
1) A little of the product goes a long way 
2) Its long wearing 


Q: How much would you rate this product? 
A : I would give it four and a half stars considering its a drugstore product


Q: Would you recommend this product to friends and family?
A : More than likely and I could show them how I use it as well :)


I hope you guys find this very helpful :)


XOXO

Review : Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner

Hey Everyone! So I haven't written a review in a while... But I just bought this product recently and I actually bought it and hoped it would be a dupe for my favorite liquid eyeliner from Japan called " K- Palette" But Sadly this didn't even come close to what I wanted... Mostly because my K- Palette is a 24 hr eyeliner thats waterproof so there would be no reason to do retouches... So I was pretty disappointed with this product .. But I'm going to just give you the Pros and Cons about this eyeliner ( This is just in my opinion)

Pros 

- Precise lining
- Completely Black ( No need to layer the colours on)
- Easy to use felt tip ( which makes it easy to use)
- Quickly Dries

Cons

- Not Waterproof ( started smudging within an hour time)
- Not much Variety of colours


What I meant that it started smudging within an hour time... from glam to a raccoon... It was smudging everywhere and running amok on my face... I am so happy I tried this on before I decided to wear it to go out! With how hot it is in Jamaica right now.. I doubt I would use this again for a while.. Maybe for designs on the face... But not near my eyes... This is just my opinion don't let my judgement of this product prevent you from giving it a try...  If this came in waterproof I am sure my review would have ended up in a different attitude towards this product.

XOXO
Livy C
