Milani Baked Blushes

These blushes give you that beautiful glow that we will all be looking for this upcoming spring and summer! If you are not a fan of shimmer, then these are not for you. These are about $8.00, less than half the price of a MAC mineralized blush. Stay beautiful my lovelies, until next time! Hugs, Anissa

You can find these at either Wal-Greens or on the Cherry Culture website at http://www.cherryculture.com/milani

Neutral Palettes: Urban Decay Naked, Too Faced Natural Eye, NYX Nude on Nude, Avon 8-in-1 Neutral Tones

I know how difficult it can be to get your hands on the Urban Decay Naked Palette and it can be expensive for some, so here are some great neutral palette comparisons! As always, I recommend checking ebay for deals on these palettes. Also check out my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/nissyrae, for a full review on the Urban Decay Naked Palette and comparison SWATCHES!

Urban Decay Naked Palette $44.00 - $48.00 http://sephora.com/ or at http://www.urbandecay.com/

Avon 8-in-1 Palette Neutral Tones $12.00 http://www.avon.com/1/1/234-8-1-eye-palette.html

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette $35.00 http://www.toofaced.com/sets_kits/eyesets.aspx

NYX Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit $11.00 http://www.cherryculture.com/nnyx_main.php or http://www.nonpareilboutique.com/nyx-natural-look-kit-s109n.html

Okay, so I recommend all of these palettes, I was really surprised at how much I liked the Avon palette. The Too Faced palette is probably the last one I would recommend just because compared to the others, it is over priced. Use a primer for these palettes, especially for NYX and Avon. Let me know what you think or if you have any you can suggest for me too!

NYX Haul Time

I purchased these NYX products either online or at the Carlsbad Outlet Mall, Perfume Outlet Store. The Perfume Outlet was having a sale, buy 5 for $10 and how could a girl refuse?

The products that I am loving and absolutely recommend are:

Brown eyeshadow

Miami Babe lipgloss

All the lipsticks

Rock and Roll Trio

This is the NYX Very Delight trio and I would pass on buying this one because the peach shade is has a gritty texture with bad pigmentation, the brown color is pretty good, and the highlight color is a white/pink based.

Top Row L-R: Brown, Blondie, Charcoal Brown, Copper

Bottom Row L-R: Walnut, Salmon Pearl, Bronze Pearl
I love the matte brown e/s because it is great for warming up your look since it has an ever so slight orange base in it. I use it to blend out my e/s between the crease color and highlight, it is a great transition color!

This NYX Rock and Roll trio is a "must have" and has an awesome highlight shade, an amazing taupe color that would be in the satin taupe family, and a cool charcoal gray that has a tint of blue in it!

Far left is the NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipgloss in Paprika Sparkle, good color but not something I would wear often. The four NYX Black Label lipsticks are incredible! Super moisturizing and soft on the lips. They are nude and neutral colors that work great on my skin tone, I highly recommend them! Lipgloss on the far right is NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Miami Babe which is a new favorite of mine!!! If you like NYX's Natural or Smokey look, you will love this one!

Let me know what you think!
