Sally Hansen + Crayola Insta-Dri Swatch and Review

Hey all!

I have pastel Crayola Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's to show you today!

I absolutely love the fun packaging and the pastel colors of this line.

Press Sample

All my swatches are shown in two coats.  Sally Hansen usually promotes Insta-Dri's as one coaters, but I still prefer two.  They dry very fast, so I don't wait very long before applying the second, so there's really not a lot of time added to applying my mani.  

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Canary

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Sea Green

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Melon

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Wisteria

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Cotton Candy

These applied really well.  I love these pastel shades because, as you know, pastel creams are one of my favorite nail polishes in the world.  

I did this nail art look using Sea Green.  It dried really fast, so I was able to stamp not long after completing my base.  I also love Insta-Dri's to stamp, and I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri White On Time for my stamping polish.

Pixi Beauty Lash and Line Love Swatches and Review

I was very excited to receive Pixi Beauty lash and eyeliner line.  I have completely transformed my makeup vanity into a Pixi Shrine!  I have had the privilege to sample a lot of Pixi products and have loved every. single. one.

Let's look at these mascaras and liners!

Let's start with the mascaras.  

The Black Lacquer Lash Primer is a multitude black lash primer that plumps, protects, and preps lashes.  $15.  Love this product.

The Large Lash Mascara intensely volumes and lengthens for large lashes.  It is smudge proof and water resistant.  $16.

I've been using the primer and mascara combo since I received my package.  I love it.  I have hooded eyes, so it's a necessity for me to have smudge proof and waterproof lashes.  This combination worked amazing for me.

Top to Bottom: Eye Define Waterline, Lash Line Ink, Eye Bright Liner, RoseGlow, VelvetViolet, BlackBlue, MatteMulberry

Lash Line Ink is a deep black ink liner.  It applies so well.  It's waterproof, non-feathering, and quick drying.  This is my new go to tightliner.  As I previously mentioned, I have hooded eyes, so tightlining is part of my everyday routine.  this product does not transfer to lower lash line and stays put all day.  $14.

Eye Define Waterline is a retractable waterproof slim liner with intense, no-smudge color payoff and gentle application.  $14.

Eye Bright Liner is a waterproof inner rim liner used to brighten the eyes.  I use this in combination with the Lash Line Ink.  $12.

Endless Silk Eye Pens are award winning waterproof eye liners that glide on so well.  The formulas are really amazeabells.  You should really give this a try.  They come in a range of colors: BackBlue, VelvetViolet, MatteMulberry, RoseGlow.  I have to say, RoseGlow is hands down my favorite.  $6 - $12.

Zoya Sunshine Summer 2018 Swatch and Review

Hey all!

I finally have the Zoya Sunshine Summer 2018 Collection to show you!

 Last weekend was a pretty terrible weekend that carried over onto Monday.  Well, I woke up Tuesday morning and was like, "Forget everything, I'm going to do one of my favorite things to get my mind and heart in a better place."  One of my favorite things to do is to watch Trisha Yearwood's cooking show while playing with polish!

All of my swatches are in two coats.  The formulas are really great and I did not have issues with any.

I do have a thin layer of clear polygel on my nails for strength, which started breaking down and lifting throughout my swatch session.  So, if you see some wonky lines, that's what it's from.  

The morning sun was very good this day, so all my pictures were taken in natural sunlight.
