Jessie's Girl Eyes...How We Do It!

Image
**Press Samples** Below is a VERY long post about some VERY gorgeous products, so I want you to hang on. I didn't do too many looks with these goodies, but I have been showing them off on my SnapChat (Szizzy12184) and Instagram (ColorMeSoCrazy) so check those out! I love neutrals, so these are just about all I have been wearing lately.  First up, the 9 PAN EYE SHADOW COMPACT in the Dream Girl. There are 5 different shadow palettes combinations. They are only $3.99, yes you read that right, and they come with 9 coordinating colors. This one is the neutral colors that have mattes, shimmer and creme colors all together. They don't have much fallout and they application is smooth and pigmented with build.  Next up, I have two shadow palettes from the BACK STAGE COLLECTION . These are each 10-color palettes that have coordinating shades with unlimited combinations. These are also HUGE so you get so much product for only $6.99!!   Sounds of the City is a be...

Mirror, Mirror on My Desk

Image
**Product Review** Today, I am showing off my NEW beauty mirror from The Mirrorvana Team. It is available on Amazon for only $26.95 right now and if you are in the market for a sleek, easy to use mirror you will want to check it out! This mirror is sleek and stylish and comes with a small stand and an adjustable mirror. As you can see, it is small enough to fit on your vanity but big enough to use for full face looks. It stands about 14 inches tall and is adjustable to tilt from left to right and up and down. I really like this mirror. It was packed super safe for shipping and it even comes with an 1000 day guarantee. It presents a clear and precise image without any distorting and it is a perfect fit for my blogging desk. I actually use it for makeup looks without having to go all the way to my makeup room. It is actually clearer than the vanity mirror I use in my makeup room. The other thing I really like about this mirror is that the base is super heavy so I don't...

Too Faced Birthday Deal with Chocolate Palette

Image
**Bought It** I picked up this little Too Faced birthday gift for myself for MY birthday. Of course, I am still showing off all my goodies because I really love what I got this year. My friends know me so well and so does hubby! This package was only $65 and I got all of this great stuff! I was really going for the Chocolate Bar Palette, but when I saw all of this for only about $15 more, I jumped all over it. I know many of you have seen the Chocolate Bar palette, but this is just perfect for all of my color needs. I am a everyday neutral girl so this works perfect for me. All of the colors are very nice and there is a nice mix of matte and shimmer colors. Not to mention, this is made with 100% cocoa powder so it smells amazing!  The next product is a sample of the **best** bronzer I have ever used and a lighter color. Chocolate Soleil and Endless Summer are both gorgeous! They are fully pigmented and so on so creamy and smooth. I need to pick up another CS, but I ...

YOUNGBLOOD Mineral Cosmetics PANTONE Eyeshadow Quad and Lipstick

Image
**Press Sample** I am super excited to bring you this new-to-me brand. I have been seeing Youngblood Cosmetics everywhere lately and I was so pumped when I got this chance to try some of their products out. First, a little bit about this company. Youngblood cosmetics is the namesake of Pauline Youngblood who created this company based on the thought that everyone's skin has different needs and only high-rate ingredients can help fully complete someone's look. Pauline actually used to work for plastic surgeons so naturally that is where you can find many of these products; dermatologists offices, salons, laser centers, or from an entire list of stockists on their website.  So, I have two products to show you and they are both based off one of the PANTONE colors of the year. A Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad and a lipstick. Based on my experience with both of these, I am super excited to try more of this brand. First, the Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad. Ea...

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust for Your Holiday Needs!

Image
**Press Samples** NYC New York Color has these neat little eye shadow wands that are perfect for your upcoming nights out! I am super excited to share these with you especially with NYE right around the corner! When these arrived in my mailbox, the first thing I thought of was, " these are perfect to throw in my bag for any night out". Now, to see if they measure up!  The set that I have comes in 4 colors. These are perfect for any party as they are all shimmery and metallic in finish. They come in a 2g tube with a doe-foot applicator. They apply super easily and with a lot of pigment. I will say that there is a lot of fallout, naturally, because of the applicator.  I was super careful when I took the applicator out of the tube. I kind of twisted it and then tapped it to make sure nothing extra came out when I applied it. Don't forget, you can absolutely build this on your lid. It is super shimmery and a really nice formula so you don't need to pile this ...

Barielle has MAKEUP!!!!

Image
**Gift** I always get super excited when brands expand their collections and branch out into other realms of beauty. Barielle has been dipping their toes in the waters for quite some time now since I am been with them BUT this has been the first time that I have seen makeup from them.  When I got a surprise package in the mail, I knew I wasn't expecting nail polish and when I opened it to see an eye shadow palette; I did a double take. Naturale Essential Eye Shadow palettes are 2 of the new makeup items on their site. This is the Black palette and it has 6 pans in it. There is also a Beige palette that has 6 alternate colors.  I looooove these colors. They are the perfect shimmer in the perfect metallic shades for the Fall carrying into the Winter. This is currently on sale on Barielle's website for $14.99 and you can check them out here . What do you think of this palette? What do you think of Barielle hopping in the makeup game?

Image
**Press Sample** Today, I have 4 fantastic 24 hours stay shadow crayons from NYC New York Color. I am super excited about these because they are all in the hot metallic shades that have been making me squee since the start of Fall. This is a collection of 24 hour CityProof stays that are big fat crayons and go on in one swipe right across your lid. I love these because they are super easy to blend. Literally, you swipe them right across your lid and then dot another in your crease and you are done with your smoky eye. As you can see here, the colors are gorgeous! All metal in their glory, I have been rocking them almost every day. These are only $2.99 so with colors this pretty and for a price that great, you can't pass these up. What do you think of these colors? Are you into all of the metallic shades this Fall?
