No-Miss Blue Stardust
It’s Friday guys! Today I have another beauty from No-Miss. Here’s No-Miss Blue Stardust.
No-Miss Blue Stardust
Blue Stardust is a light blue glitter shade. It has iridescent glitter suspended in a light blue jelly base. It went onto my nails nicely and dried pretty fast. This would be a good one to use for glitter sandwich manis. Shown is 3 thin coats with no top coat.

Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner
Today’s post is on a Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner.
Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner
These are described as:
- Sparkling intense color
- Long-lasting
- Waterproof formula
- Easy to use
- Felt-tip applicator
Y’all know that I am not a huge fan of liquid eye liners. I’ve tried many, many brands with different formulas and applicators and it always ends up in disappointment. My main problem is I like to apply eye liner on my waterline. With liquid eye liner, the moment that the eye liner touches any part of the eye really….it just spreads the eye liner all over the eye area. There was a liquid eye liner that I had high hopes for and it was in an awesome silver shade. But no, my eye is covered with a thin layer of silver liquid eye liner. I scrambled to the bathroom to rinse my eye out. I was bracing myself for such an experience again with these. I am happy to report though that this will be the first liquid eye liners that I am keeping to use! The tip is really fine and made application a breeze. I felt that I had more control with the application this time around. The formula is very pigmented with a super opaque payoff. It dries pretty fast and the finish for all shades are sparkly or glittery with the exception of Black Vinyl. All 5 shades are perfect for day or night, but I’d stick to the basic shades for work. A co-worker friend commented that Sparkling Turquoise and Emerald Glisten are more suitable for outside of work, but this is after I decided to apply a thicker line instead of staying with the thin line I usually go for. It actually took her a while to notice that I had it one when I applied a thin line of it. Prismatic Purple is an in-between shade….I think that you can get away with wearing it to the office for sure.
Staying power is good, but it falls a teeny bit short on the waterproof claim. After 6 hours, there is a little bit of flaking. One thing that would definitely help is not applying several layers or thicker layers of the liquid eye liner. I modified this and didn’t have a problem ever since aside from some wear after 6 hours or so. That is expected in my opinion though. The lid area will always have the grease issue over time and the waterline area will always have general wear being where it is at. Overall, a winner in my book. Swatches shown below are in ascending numeric order of the shades available. For each shade, I applied the liquid eye liner onto my arm twice to show what it looks like when I apply it on my upper lashline or waterline.

Zoya Summer PixieDust Swatches
Hey guys! Today’s post is on Zoya’s Summer PixieDust Collection. I have been eagerly awaiting for these since I loved the original PixieDust shades a lot! Without further ado, here are the swatches and review.
First up is Beatrix.
Zoya Beatrix
So promising….I had high hopes for this. I ended up not liking this as much as I thought it would, but I still like it enough to wear it once in a while. I thought it was going to be a bit brighter and bolder. I love orange. It’s a color I don’t wear often, so when I do end up with one it’s usually one that swept me off my feet. This one is described as “a tangerine metal sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Foil Twinkle formula”. Shown is 2 generous coats with no top coat.

Next up is Stevie.
Zoya Stevie
Stevie is the one I thought would be my favorite, but it was overthrown by Miranda! I thought of all 6 shades in this collection that this one would bring out the most sparkle. Kinda like how I felt about Godiva from the earlier PixieDust collection. I thought it was too light and that I would like the darker sparkles better. WRONG! I’d wear Godiva to my wedding if I have one. Stevie is described as “a violet sparkle, in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula”. Shown is 3 thin coats with no top coat.

A surprising one that turned out to be my favorite is called Miranda.
Zoya Miranda
The first thing I thought of when I saw the name is Miranda from Sex And The City. Then when I looked at the shade closely I though….naw…too light, not my type. I was dead wrong. It’s more of a magenta than pink really and it was instant love the minute I put it on. This is described as “a rose sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula”. Shown is 3 thin coats with no top coat.

Moving on, we have Solange.
Zoya Solange
This one caught me offguard as well. It glows like whoa! I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. I thought it was going to be a yellow shade but no…..it’s GOLD, baby! I want to paint everyone’s nail in this shade – that’s how much I like it. This is described as “a gold metal foil sparkle featuring a Zoya EXCLUSIVE GOLD PIGMENT in the best-selling Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Foil Twinkle formula”. Shown is 2 generous coats with no top coat.

Next up is Liberty.
Zoya Liberty
If there was a blue that would suit the name and the word “liberty”, this is it. It’s a vibrant and bold blue that demands attention. It is described as “a blue sugary sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula”. Shown is 2 generous coats with no top coat.
Zoya Liberty (in shade)

Last up is a shade called Destiny.
Zoya Destiny
Destiny is another one that surprised me but in the other direction. I liked this less than I thought I would. I was expecting the punch and boldness in this shade to be in Beatrix. This does have a flakie like effect in the finish though. Beatrix seems to have a little bit of that too, but it’s more evident with Destiny. It is described as “a coral metal sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Foil Twinkle formula”. Shown is 3 thin coats with no top coat.
Zoya Destiny (in shade)
Zoya Destiny (direct sunlight)
Zoya Destiny (close-up)
Formula is consistent with all 6 shades – easy to work with and dries pretty fast. They all dry with a matte finish that’s on the gritty side to the touch, much like sand but with tons of sparkle. I didn’t try using a top coat over these because I actually liked the finish itself. They all dried pretty fast and the wear is impressive. A great collection overall and much like the original PixieDust collection, well-balanced.

No-Miss Port St. Lucie Purple
It’s Friday guys! It’s Mother’s Day weekend. What are your Mother’s Day plans? I’m sending off a card to mine and will call her next week since she’s all the way in the Philippines. Actually, she might be in Taiwan at the moment….I remember my dad mentioning her going back to her country of birth to visit friends and partake in some baking classes sponsored by their government. Today I have another beauty from No-Miss. Here’s No-Miss Port St. Lucie Purple.
No-Miss Port St. Lucie Purple
Port St. Lucie Purple is more of a lavender pink than purple really. It has a slight duochrome property that makes me wonder how it’d look over darker shades. Something to try later on. It went onto my nails nicely even though the formula leans on the watery side. It’s still manageable though and not too viscous to handle. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Pure Ice Not Now
Happy Wednesday! Another super busy week at work here. My boss is back in town to chip away this list I have accumulated from when he was gone. Today’s post is on a stunning shade from Pure Ice. Here’s Pure Ice Not Now.
Pure Ice Not Now
Not Now is a pretty green shimmer shade that is sure to wow any green color fans. This shade is vibrant and bold. It makes me think of peacocks and mallard ducks. Formula is good and it dried fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Hey guys! It’s Tuesday and the week is flying by fast! Today’s post is on a new favorite of mine from Pure Ice. Here’s Pure Ice Five-Some.
Pure Ice Five-Some
Five-Some is a very pretty glitter shade with a black base. There is blue, pink, red and silver glitter in it just to name a few colors of glitter it contains. Formula is great and it dried fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

No-Miss Pensacola Red Pearl
It’s Friday guys! April sure flew by fast! I can’t believe how cold it could still be at this time of the year especially how hot it has been on some days last week. Here in Oklahoma, you can have a swing of as much as 100 degrees the next day! Today I have another beauty from No-Miss. Here’s No-Miss Pensacola Red Pearl.
Pensacola Red Pearl is a stunning red shimmer. It looks slightly orange-y in the bottle, but it actually has a very slight magenta or fuchsia tint under direct sunlight. You guys know how much I love red and also magenta or fuchsia shades (so this is a win-win for me!). It went onto my nails very smoothly. Shown is one generous coat with no top coat.

The name of the collection says it all. Brilliant shades of the water.

Lancôme Plunge Pool
Thoughts? I’m waiting to see swatches of shade before giving in though. Sometimes press release pictures aren’t close to the end product, but Plunge Pool is calling me name for sure! These will retail at $15 each and are limited edition.
Pure Ice Over The Top
Hey guys! It’s Monday again and I’m bracing for a super busy week. Today’s post is on another winner from Pure Ice. Here’s Pure Ice Over The Top.
Pure Ice Over The Top
Over The Top is one of the newer shades from Pure Ice with the “velour” or better known as matte finish. This makes me think of a metallic gold shade with a layer of matte top coat over it. This shade is packed with shimmer and looks great as is or with top coat on. Formula is great and it dried fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

I really prefer the look with top coat on. The finish feels interesting though as is.

No-Miss Ft. Pierce Forest
It’s Friday y’all and April is almost over! I can’t believe how fast this month has flown by. One of the most notable deals is Sally Beauty Supply’s B2G1 free deal on all nail polishes. Do take advantage of that offer before it’s gone, gone, gone! This is probably why April is my favorite month when shopping at Sally Beauty Supply. I just stock up on everything I want. I remember one year it was China Glaze. Then it was Orly and I think last year it was finally Finger Paints and Nina Ultra Pro. Today’s post is on a shade that you can’t get from Sally’s, but it’s pretty and suits my mood for today. Here’s No-Miss Ft. Pierce Forest.
No-Miss Ft. Pierce Forest
Ft. Pierce Forest is a pretty metallic moss green shimmer. I still consider this a shimmer even though the shade of green is what I would describe as metallic moss green. It leans a little bit on the sheer side, but it doesn’t take a crap ton of coats for full opacity. It’s extremely easy to apply and dried pretty fast. Shown is 3 coats with no top coat.

Sally Hansen Moonstone
Another busy Thursday here! Hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend. I sure am! Today’s post is on a shade that I had reservations about initially. I thought it was going to be one frosty mess. Glad I’m wrong on that! From their Lustre Shine line, here’s Sally Hansen Moonstone.
Sally Hansen Moonstone
Moonstone is a very light white duochrome shade. The color shift is more evident when the shade is used over darker shades. On its own, I see hints of pink or lavender and a very faint tinge of green in some angles. Formula is pretty good and it dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Pure Ice My Wonderland
Hey guys! Today’s post is on a glitter shade that I actually like more than I originally thought I would. It’s one of Pure Ice’s newer shades released a few months back, so you should be able to spot these in your local Walmart. Here’s Pure Ice My Wonderland.
Pure Ice My Wonderland
My Wonderland is simply gorgeous. I love glitter shades in general and this one is no exception. It is made up of turquoise glitter. Formula is great and it dried fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

No-Miss Panama Petal
The start of this week has been super busy for me so far. I have to keep this one short and sweet as I’m running late for something. Here’s No-Miss Panama Petal.
No-Miss Panama Petal
It’s a delicate shade and quite sheer, but I like it that way. It’s extremely easy to apply and dried pretty fast. I love it. It’s so shiny on its own. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Textured Creams Swatches
Won’t ramble much about these. All are 2 coats with no top coat. All are very easy to apply and dried pretty fast. Formula is consistent on all shades, which is on the watery side, except for Tainted In Red. This is evident on the first coat, but any concerns or worries you may have with regards to this will be washed away with the second coat. Definitely need at least 2 coats for the proper texture effect. And as you may have guessed it right, do let current layer or coating dry completely before applying the next coat. This prevents dragging that results in patchy spots. Here are the swatches for Milani Textured Creams Swatches.
Here’s Shady Gray.

I didn’t like the colors that much honestly when I first saw the press release here. But these are very opaque, bold and pretty bright. Perfect for summer. It screams fun and playfulness. A win from Milani I say! My favorite is Spoiled In Fuchsia, Yellow Mark and Aqua Splash. Some shades look even better with another coat like Aqua Splash.
These retail for $4.99 each and should now be available in retail stores where Milani is sold. They are on sale right now for $2.49 on their website right now!

Pure Ice Touch Me Softly
Hey all! I just got back from the post office and while the lines are longer today…it’s not that bad for the last day of the tax season. I only stood in line for about 20 minutes to get my stuff postmarked with today’s date. Today’s shade is one of the few I swatched over the weekend. I’m liking the finish a lot! Here’s Pure Ice Touch Me Softly.
Pure Ice Touch Me Softly
Touch Me Softly is one of the newer shades from Pure Ice with the “velour” or better known as matte finish. It reminds me of a purple raspberry foil shade with a layer of matte top coat over it. This shade is packed with shimmer and looks great as is or with top coat on. Formula is great and it dried fast. Shown is one coat with no top coat.

Milani Color Statement Lipliner
I didn’t think much about these honestly when I first saw the press release here. I was more interested at the lipsticks really. Make no mistake though – these hold on their own. Here’s my take on Milani Color Statement Lipliner.
Milani Color Statement Lipliner
Milani Color Statement Lipliner (shot to show shade names)
These are described as:
- Satin color in one stroke application
- Long-wearing, easy-glide formula
I find these lip liners extremely easy to apply. Formula is great and very pigmented. Color payoff is very impressive: opaque with just one stroke. It is definitely long-wearing as promised. I typically don’t use lip liners when I wear lipstick, but these are so easy and good that I’ve started making it a habit. There are 8 shades to choose from and you can either use one that is closest to the lipstick you wish to use or you can use the one closest to your natural lip color and that should work for any lipstick shade you wish to use. Swatches shown below are in ascending numeric order of the shades available. For each shade, I drew the lip liner on in a thicker line to swatch as it looks better than just as several thin lines.

Sally Hansen Azure
One of the later collections from Sally Hansen is their Lustre Shine line. I tried to contain my excitement until I actually saw swatches because I know for a fact that most of the time these awesome duochrome and multichromes fall short when it comes to the hype. Here’s Sally Hansen Azure.
Sally Hansen Azure
Azure is the one I thought was going to be my favorite from this line, but it disappointed me a bit in the color shift aspect. I don’t really see any color shift at all even in the bottle. But it’s such a pretty shade. It actually reminds me of Orly Royal Velvet, but it’s not even close to being a dupe. Royal Velvet leans a wee bit on the green and has a slight color shift while Azure is more blue and has nonexistent color shift. Formula is pretty good though and it dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Milani Color Statement Lipstick Naturals & Browns
Hey guys! This is the last set of shades I have for review. I actually ended up liking this set the most (as do my man’s dog!) cause there are a few that are quite flattering against my skin tone when I thought none would work on me. Read on for my review and swatches on the Milani Color Statement Lipstick Natural & Brown shades.
Milani Color Statement Lipstick Naturals & Browns
Milani Color Statement Lipstick Naturals & Browns (direct sunlight)
These are described as:
- One stroke, full coverage application
- Lightweight, creamy formula
- Contains Vitamins A, C & E to moisturize lips
The formula for these is very smooth and creamy. These are very well pigmented with a super opaque payoff and not waxy at all. With my last review on the Plums & Berries feeling like the formula isn’t as creamy, this is not the case with these shades. The shades are quite surprisingly complementary to my skin tone. My man like this group the most on me I think. The darker shades will be harder for me to wear but there are only 2 of those that fall in that bucket for me. With these, there is no flaking or cracking that I get with some other lipsticks I’ve tried in the past. The finish for these shades vary from cream to pearl to metallic and shimmer. For a match up on what type of finish each shade is, see my press release post on this here. All 9 shades are perfect for day or night. Staying power is very impressive as usual. There is barely any wear at all throughout the day except for times when I have to consume food or take a drink. Swatches shown below are in ascending numeric order of the shades available in the naturals & browns category. For each shade, I applied 2 slow strokes onto my arm since one stroke was barely visible for the first shade. For the middle shade, Candied Toffees, I had to use a lip brush to apply the color onto my arm. There’s a funny story to it actually.

Milani Color Statement Lipstick Candied Toffees R.I.P. (cap off)
The cap off shot is what greeted me first. He managed to chew the cap and dislodge it. I assumed he detected the same smell he sniffed before that was on my lips and thought “Hmmm…..this smells good like food and I’ve detected this scent on her mouth before!” My man has told me before it smells like strawberries or something like it and I don’t doubt that his dog thought so too! The only thing I ended up doing is facing the dog wailing “Why?! Why this shade? It looks good on me! Why not this or this?!” See? Even dogs love them too! But in all seriousness, best to keep them out of reach from our furry friends! He attempted to chew through several tubes in this group before emerging successful with Candied Toffees.
These retail for $5.49 each and should now be available in retail stores where Milani is sold. Otherwise, try nabbing it online on their website.

No-Miss Beverly Hills Bodacious
This week has been super busy for me so far. I won’t bore you with the details….let’s move on to today’s post! Here’s No-Miss Beverly Hills Bodacious.
No-Miss Beverly Hills Bodacious
Beverly Hills Bodacious is a shade that makes me think of “brick red” for some reason. I can definitely see this as right up my Didi’s alley. It’s sexy and bold. Formula is on the watery side even though it’s manageable. I’m loving the shimmer under direct sunlight. It’s definitely a Summer to Fall shade for me. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

Sally Hansen So Much Fawn
I’ve always been a huge fan of Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure line. They constantly change their shades though and release limited edition shades that send polish lovers scrambling to hunt them down. This is one of their newer shades if I’m not mistaken. Here’s Sally Hansen So Much Fawn.
Sally Hansen So Much Fawn
So Much Fawn is not my favorite shade really, but it didn’t look as bad as I thought it would. For my long time readers, I’m reminiscing about Sally Hansen Terracotta. This is slightly redder and darker than that, so it has more contrast than the other shade. It applied smoothly onto my nails and dried pretty fast. Formula is comparable to a good creme shade. Shown is 2 coats with no top coat.

No-Miss Leprechaun
Green isn’t my favorite color, but everyone that reads probably knows that green has taken a special spot in my heart especially after this post here. That green is F me crazy good. I swear that it’s one of the prettiest greens I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Hotness all over is what that is. Today’s shade doesn’t move me as much as that one, but it sure is one of my favorite glitter shades from No-Miss. Here’s No-Miss Leprechaun.
No-Miss Leprechaun
Leprechaun is a shade that makes me think of St. Patty’s Day and such. You can definitely sport this on your nails anytime of the year though. This shade is made up of green and gold glitter suspended in a clear base. It dried pretty fast for me and is such a festive shade. I applied it onto my nails with a slight dabbing motion to get the glitters pan out more evenly with good coverage. Shown is 2 generous coats with no top coat.

The primer helps provide a seamless canvas for eyeshadow application and minimizes creasing throughout the day. Makes any cream or powder eyeshadow long-wearing!
