Easy Rainbow Eyes!


*Cue Dorothy*
Somewherrrrre, over the rainbow...
That's right.
Rainbow. Eyes.
Say it with me,
Rainnnn
bow.
Eyes.
Someone requested this on my giveaway video,
and once I seen xsparkage's recent rainbow eye video,
I just had too.
The first time I tried it,
I went color after color,
and realized it was difficult to judge the amount of color.
Soooo, I figured out a way to portion each one.
It's super easy, minus all of the products.
If you have the 88 palette, then you're probably set.
(or any of those other huge things.)
So I hope you guys liked how it turned out,
and yes, my liner is uneven.
It wouldn't be a tutorial from me if it wasn't.
Check out more photos, the tutorial, and product list below!

Review - Limited Edition Scents from Fortune Cookie Soap


More fortune cookies!!!!!
I decided to have this video bypass all of the others,
(I have about 20 recorded, some edited)
since I'm hosting a giveaway with Fortune Cookie Soap.
These were just some of the many limited edition soaps released in their Christmas in July sale.
Most, if not all, are sold out, but if my memory recalls,
some/all will be coming back later in the year.
So here we go!
Let's start off with the scents!
Toxic:
Toxic is a light, somewhat transparent, lime green, with green and gold glitter in it.
 It's described as the famous soft drink, Mountain Dew.
To me, I barely smell the mountain dew, if any, just a watered down version.
Cookie Monster:
Cookie Monster is a metallic bronzey gold.
The scent is described as vanilla, almonds, and macaroons.
I can't decide what it smells like too me, but the smell just off puts me entirely.
Not So Little Mermaid:
Not so Little Mermaid is a oceany blue, transparent color, with blue glitter.
The notes include mandarin balm, tangelo, eucalyptus and a few more.
As the name implies, it smells really clean, and ocean like.
It's definitely my favorite out of this bunch.
Hearty Breakfast:
This one is by far the most interesting.
It's a light brown cookie color, along with "bacon bits" and a "syrup" drizzle on top.
And that's exactly what it smells like.
My mind was blown when i got it, because you can smell everything!
Down to the smokiness of the bacon!


When it comes to the actual use of the soap, I use it as is.
Which can be a little difficult because it can be super slippery.
I can tell a difference in these, and commercial soap.
They lather, but just with a little more work.
Your first few times of using them, 
you may think it makes your skin feel weird,
(I thought the same thing)
but I realized that it somehow locks, if you will, the moisture in.
Once you dry off, the feeling goes away.
I have pretty dry skin, and when I use these,
my skin isn't like unbelievably soft,
but I notice a difference from this, and commercial brands.
(Story time!)
When I use these, my hands are fine.
The next day I was in a rush, so I used my Nivea bodywash.
Well, when I used Nivea, dried off, got ready and such,
I noticed my hands were suppppper dry and rough.
So there's my experience with them.
Also, store them in a plastic bag after each shower!
If not, they'll break down over time.
PAT them dry, not rub.

You'll rub away the product if so.


Overall I like them a lot!
I still need to invest in a bar soap version of In the Loop!
I highly recommend them!
And there's tons and tons of scents!
(In cookie form that is)
Now it's picture and video time!

Blossom Inspired Makeup Tutorial - Powerpuff Girls Series


Finally right?
Originally I wanted to do a cheesy voiceover and talk like the narrator,
but I couldn't get myself to do it because I suck at voice acting,
AND I didn't know how.
So I threw in a remix I found,
if you don't like it,
then mute it and play your own.
With that said,
this was my second time doing a Blossom look.
I'll post the original picture last.
As you can tell,
it's pretty damn pink.
And I love it!
The video was 20 min to start with,
and I got it down to 5, 
so I'm pretty damn proud of myself.
Also, she/we were watching a movie,
that's why it looks like she's staring off haha.
Hope you like!
(Once I get the other 2 up, see if you can notice something they all have in common ;) )

Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette Swatches


Keep in mind, 
this is NOT a review.
Just a post showing swatches and the palette itself.
I may review it later on,
but I can say that the ones that I'ved used were really nice.
I took the full palette picture before I swatched it,
but the photo got messed up.
So don't mind how some of them don't look perfect!
The live look will be posted under pictures.
And the swatches are in column order from top to bottom with no base.

Harry Potter Inspired Makeup


Harry Potter!
If you're around my age, this, is your childhood.
And...it's come to an end.
:(
I didn't plan to do anything at all,
but I just had too.
So this was rushed and sloppy because I wanted to get it up today.
Also I got my Urban Decay palette, so it was perfect!
(That blogpost/video will be up real soon)
Sorry if it doesn't live up to your vision of inspiration,
but it's the only thing I could come up with!
The dark purples and greys representing the school and overall story.
Then the flash of gold from the good and glory in it.
Andddd the shimmer for the magic. ;)
So I hope you like it!
Again, this is depressing.
I'm going too see it tomorrow,
and I'm afraid I'm gonna bawl.
Haha so sad!
