I made a stop to my favorite beauty store, Star Beauty, this weekend. I went there last week & saw a bunch of colorful eyeshadows (Nicka K brand) that have stayed on my mind all week, I knew I had to go back this weekend to buy a few. I was a little skeptical of the color pay off, but the pigment in the shadows are really good (especially with the red & green trio). I also purchased a blush duo & that as well had a great color pay off too. To intensify the color more, apply a cream eyeshadow after applying a eyeshadow primer. Overall, Nicka K eyeshadows & blush were totally worth the drive & will be getting more from this brand.

The names of the eyeshadows, blush, & liquid eyeliner (not pictured) I purchased:

• Tan Glow Blush

• Blossom Eyeshadow Trio

• Mirage Eyeshadow Trio

• Mystic Eyeshadow Trio

• Metor Brown Liquid Eyeliner

• Teal Liquid Eyeliner
  

I have this new found love for beauty supply stores. Every time I'm on the east side, I MUST make a few pit stops to a couple of beauty stores. I always seem to find cosmetic & false eyelash brands that aren't typical found at regular stores (like target, CVS, walgreens etc). Here's some items I bought at a couple of beauty supply stores as well as some items I bought from Walgreens:

• Salon Collection Travel Brush Set

• Gabriella Eyelashes #s217

• Gabriella Eyelashes #s235

• Nicka K Glitter Eye Pencil in Green

• Nicka K Glitter Eye Pencil in Dark Brown

• Magic Collection Lip & Eyeliner Pencil in Dark Brown

• Magic Collection Eyeliner Pencil in Black

• L'oreal HIP Pure Pigment Shadow Stick in Exhilarating

• Prestige iQuad Eyeshadow Quad in Megabyte

• Absolute! Nail Art Paint in Twinkling Gould

• Absolute! Nail Art Paint in Blanc
  

If you really know me, you know that I have an insane love affair with anything by Artistry Cosmetics. Artistry has to be one of the most underrated cosmetics brand out there (only because they aren't well know). It's an exclusive cosmetics & skincare brand brought to you by Amway Global. The only way you can get your hands on Artistry Cosmetics & Skincare is either by directly ordering from the company website or ordering from someone who markets Artistry (such as myself!). Such amazing quality cosmetics & skincare, it's a staple brand in my makeup kits. With all that being said, you must be wondering what I got, right?:

• Artistry Absolute Oil Control Foundation in Sable
• Artistry Absolute Oil Control Foundation in Hazelnut
• Artistry Iconic Elegance Trend Colour Collection Palette in Timeless
• Artistry Essentials Mascara in Black
• Artistry Foundation Tubes of the Absolute Oil Control Foundations in Medium to Dark shades
