THE BEGINNING.: Piink

So yesterday I went to Walmart for groceries and ended up buying some nails. I bought some cheap brand (I will post the brand later, I forgot the name) that was under $4. I used my leftover broadway nails glue, and let me say that glue it strong! I fell down this morning (LOL) and hit my nails as I was trying to catch myself, and I thought they were broken... but they polish chipped and the nails are STILL perfectly intact! =D

I plan on painting them since I don't care for white tips, but I haven't decided on a color yet... I am thinking a fun summery PINK! What do y'all think?

Also I wanted to post the elf eye primer I bought for $1 a while back... Let me just say I love it! The top of the line one I see that most make up artist, bloggers, and makeup fans use it the Urban Decay Primer potion.. Well, ever since I used this 3 years ago I haven't been a big fan. I recently tried it again recently because my roommate had some and I found that it worked better than I remembered, but I feel for the price the elf one is more reasonable- with a similar texture and staying power...

I also liked the color of the NYC lipstick and it was only around $1 so I purchased that as well (I love cheap stuff that works). I have actually liked NYC lipsticks for a long time. They are cheap and work pretty well. They aren't drying and they don't bleed, but their staying power of course isn't the best.

I also bought this ELF lip-stain and gloss duo for $3 just to try... It works OKAY, but the lips stain doesn't stay on as long as most lip-stains do, and I felt it needed multiple coats because the pigmentation isn't as vibrant as it appears in the tube. Yet, when you put a couple of layers and let it dry, then apply gloss it looks pretty! IDK if I would buy it again, but I will use it while I have it. It would probably work better with a bright pink lip liner like barbie pink by NYX.

Here are the swatches--
The Elf eyelid primer
The NYC lipstick in 316 Blossom
The Elf lipstain in Birthday Suit #00908
& the gloss

Have a Wonderful day!
