Look using Sugar Pill Cosmetics

Hi everyone! Today I'm reviewing and using the Sugarpill cosmetics quad. Hmm I don't know where to begin on this quad. I saw alot of You tube guru's use this quad and just gave such rave reviews on it that I felt I just had to try it! Well needless to say I'm dissapointed. I guess where the other guru's were calling it very pigmented I found it to be chalky. Now I will say this.....maybe it was chalky because I picked up alot on my brush. If you just tap your brush in one of the colors it immediately gravitates to your brush so I guess thats the pigmentation that everyone is speaking of. But to me as I was applying the yellow it just caked up and chalked up on the yellow Jumbo pencil by NYX. I found it very hard to blend. Because it is so "Pigmented" you have to sort of layer it.

Now like I said it could have been me. I know with some other brands I've tried I found I wasnt using it correctly. Or I didnt have the right brushes for the product or didnt know how to properly use the products. But nor here or there I guess I'm just spoiled with using products where it's blendable and there are no rules or certain ways to use the product. But I do suggest if you have this quad or are considering getting this quad that maybe not to use as much as I did. For me according to my pics it doesnt look as though I used alot but ....I DID! Lol . I'm only going to give my honset opinion on any product that I use. I have just always seemed to luck up on products that I purchase and love them. I have bought some things I didnt like it but never reviewed them and either donated them to someone else or just threw them away. But being that Sugarpill is such a popular brand I really wanted to try them out and I honestly really wanted to like them. Also I feel as though there should be more colors than what they have. To me every guru, up and coming cosmetic company or private label has a quad or some of the colors that surarpill has to offer. Now if they gave me some things to try out to review I'd definitely give them another try but as of now I don't think I'd be purchasing the line with my own hard earned money. But in all fairness to the line I will continue to try and use it and see if there is a specific way that I should use it. Also I may even watch some other guru's videos to see if there is anything different that they may have done that I didnt. But I did see a still picture of someone else using it and it looked chalky to me off the break! But hey I like to form my own opinion before assuming. Well I assumed right. So once again like I said I will try and attempt another look or so with it to see if there is something I did wrong.

New Lace Front wig, Avon and BHCosmetics Haul

Good Morning guys! I did a review on my very first Lace Front wig! Yep I broke down and bought a lace Front. I must say after watching "Muffinsismylovers" you tube channel I had to give them a try. I was so against buying them because being a licensed cosmetologist I can't begin to tell you all of the edges I've seen dissapear because of improper usage of a lacefront wig. But after watching videos by guru muffinsismylover I was convinced that it doesnt have to be so damaging to your edges. There is proper use. So I assumed that the cases of the bad edges that I saw had no clue as to what they were doing or just basically had no knowledge of other methods that they could have done. So having said all of that I purchased my wig from www.hairsisters.com. The price was very reasonable and being it was my first one I couldnt resist! So as for now I want be using the tape with it but I must say I like it! It will definitely help a sista out on a bad hair day! So moving along to my Avon review. I just signed back up to sell Avon so that I could get a discount on some of my favs from them. Their new eyeshadow quads are just nice and seem very silky. The color pay off seems to be great and very pigmented. One of my subscribers on you tube said that one particuar quad did not have color payoff. Other than that I will definitely be doing some looks with my new quads. So I had lent out my BHCosmetics 2nd addition pallet and missed her so much that I bought the manly 120 pallet prior to lending her out. Being that I didnt have my BHCosmetics 120 I was not pleased with the Manly 120....AT ALL! Very chalky! Maybe I didnt take the time with it but I was not pleased to say the least! I reordered the 2nd addition and they were having a sale buy 2 and recieve a discount so I also purchased the 3rd addition. Can I say I love them both! The third addition has some neutral and bold colors in them which are both Fabulous! As you can see I swatched some of the colors and I'm in love with the pallet! It's sad that I'm in love with an eyeshadow pallet but I'm honest and I have no problem admitting it I am! This 3rd addition would be great for someone who is just starting out as a MUA or just someone who enjoys a range of shadows. You will not be dissapointed! Let me know what you think of the new lace front or just anything. Enjoy your day ! XOXO

Hey guys! Im getting better at my blogging. Tonight I'm sititng up and I'm scrolling through FB and Twitter and I see most of my counterparts(MUA's) had alot going on this weekend. So I really noticed this on Friday but just continued to watch and observe. I asked myself why am I observing and not BUSY!? Why dont I have any gigs lined up? It's wedding season for crying out loud. So once again I started pulling long hours on the computer and researching, googling and back and forth between the two sites and ofcourse my lovely You Tube. Some You tube videos on branding yourself I had watched a thousand times over. One particular Guru I watched hasnt been on YT in months but has posted to fb and has been busy so I felt maybe her insight might be of some help. One thing that she said that I took and thought that I had learned was to trade services with phtographers. Well honestly and I'm just being honest....hey it is my own blog I can say what I'm thinking right! As I was saying honestly I did that! So it got me to thinking well maybe I didnt do it long enough. I traded services for a little while with photographers didnt I? Wasnt that enough? I've networked right? So I thought it through thoroughly and realized maybe I gave up too easily with the trading services. I guess I looked at it like this....I've invested so much money into my kit I needed to see a return and quick. So I stopped going on Model Mayhem, I turned down free gigs and basically was waiting for work to fall in my lap. I'd participate in a few but really didnt want to do free gigs. Also I shoud mention this particular guru's make up seemed to have gotten better. Not that it wasnt good to begin with but each pic seemed more and more detailed. Then it came to me! PRACTICE! Whether she was doing free gigs or paid gigs she got the practice! Also I assumed that with a few trade gigs she developed a repore(sp) with some models, photographers and stylist or whomever and began to get paid gigs. So I realized that sometimes you have to do things for free to gain knowledge in your skill and also work. So I decided to go back on Model Mayhem and search gigs even the negotiable ones and Tf/Tfcd and just see if there would be something that I was interested in. Needless to say I responded to a casting call that was paid but the photographer contacted me back saying that it had ended but he liked my port and would consider me for future gigs. Well within a day he inboxed me back and has a gig for me this weekend! I was excited until I realized my anniversary is this weekend but I worked it out and now I have work! Heuleluah! Lol This industry is rough at times but it's my passion and I love what I do. Like anybody I get discouraged at times with it but even though I want to give up something inside of me says keep going, keep striving, keep researching, keep googling, keep practicing and just keep going! I hope this can help someone. Also if there is anything that you'd like to add to this please do so. Also if you may have any suggestion for me on how to obtain work I'm eager to listen and also learn! Have a great evening! XOXO
