Beauty Supply 5: Eyeshadow Singles

Hey, beauties! Welcome back and if you're new around these parts, I welcome you! Today is going to be another installment in my Beauty Supply 5 series! If you've missed any of my previous posts in this series, click right here to catch up!! As you see by the title, this one is all about single shadows! Most of us prefer the convenience of palettes these days, (me included), but sometimes, I just want to do a simple one or two shadow look & don't necessarily want to dig out a big ol' palette to do so. It's easy to pop on a couple singles on my eye and be out the door. So, if you guys are interested in some good eyeshadow singles , then keep on reading!

ELF Baked Eyeshadows: these are a buildable metallic finish that I love!! There's been many a day that I pop one of these shadows all over my lid or in the inner corner and was out the door! I also have used these as face highlighters and they are amazing for that! Only thing: you have to scrape the top layer down a little to get to the actual pigment. Annoying, yes, but since these are fairly inexpensive, I didn't mind too much. If you want something more subtle, use these dry. But if you want it more blinding and in your face, use these wet.

LA Colors Single Shadows: Run (not walk, RUN) to your nearest Dollar General store and pick these up!! they cost a whopping 50 cents and blew my freaking mind!! the texture is a bit drier for the matte shades, but when applied to the eye, they are stunning! I've raved about these so many times for good reason!! I do wish that they had a matte black , however.

L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadows:  their eyeshadow palettes have been very lackluster for me, but these singles??? AHMAZING. they're literally pressed  pigments  that apply so smoothly! these are great to just pop on your lid, throw a matte transition color in the crease and be on your way! You can also use these as highlighters for the face , as well!! 

Milani Bella Gel Powder Eyeshadows: these are some of the creamiest singles I own! they swatch like a creamy gel, but dry down to a powder finish! I've done a lot of one-two shadow looks with these and have been blown away every time! I also use some of the colors as face highlighters, and they aren't chunky or overly glittery!!

Coastal Scents Hot Pots: these are another great inexpensive option for single shadows ! there's over 200 shades to choose from , so anyone can find a color that they love in a matte, satin or shimmer finish. it's even better to shop for these with they have their 99 cents sale because you can create you go to palette for under $20, which is tougher to do these days since drugstore makeup is getting pricier by the day.

*Honorable Mention---
NYX Prismatic Eyeshadows:  I don't use these as often, but when I do, I fall back in love! These reminds me of the Loreal Infallible shadows, but just in traditional single shadow packaging. But they're extremely foiled and metallic!!

Well, we've reached the end !! Hopefully you've found some good products within this list to try out for yourselves! Let me know: what are some of your favorite affordable eyeshadow palettes?? Thanks for reading, and like always, Stay Beautiful!

Review: Nubian Heritage African Black Soap

Hello, all! Happy new year to everyone!! I came on to give my review on the second out of the three soaps I received from Nubian Heritage---the African Black Soap. Price: $4.99 on NH website and at the Vitamin Shoppe (5 oz size) Specs: This soap claims to be  acne-fighting,  detoxifying and healing.  Also, it was designed for people with   combination, oily, sensitive, and problem skin  , however it has been said that people with ALL skin types can use this as well :) but, back to the specs. Like I mentioned on my review on the Shea Butter soap , on the container is a brief history about how Nubian Heritage got its start and the ayurvedic properties about the key ingredients--which for this product line is shea butter, oats, aloe, palm ash, plaintain peel, tamarind extract and vitamin E. Palm Ash, Tamarind & Plantain Peel--soothing properties ; minimizes the appearance of superficial skin imperfections Oats--brightens and evens skin tone ...

November Favorites

Hello, my loves! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! I can't believe that I'm here with my November beauty favorites!! Like the year is legit almost  done. 31 days left before 2018 makes its grand entry. I do have quite a bit this month, so if you're interested in learning all about my  favorites for November,  then just keep reading! SKIN/BODYCARE Eco Tools Konjac Cleansing Sponge : so great for helping spread my cleanser more evenly on my face versus using my hands or a rag! I've also noticed that it has helped my skin be a lot smoother, too! Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Body Lotion : such a thick, hydrating lotion !! Only thing though is I would change the packaging--maybe opt for a jar instead of a bottle because it's thicker that a traditional lotion, but thinner than a body butter. Nip & Fab Kale Fix Protecting Shot : my skin has been more balanced lately since incorporating this oil!! Since it's colder, my skin tends t...

Makeup Colourpop Element of Surprise palette : this is probably one of the most unique palettes I own! When I first saw it, I had no interest in picking it up, but when I saw it in Ulta & swatched the shade Rayon, (metallic dark coral with blue-green duochrome) I fell in love!! I never thought I'd love this palette, but I'm pleasantly surprised! Colourpop x KathleenLights Dream St. Palette :  another great option for a few pops of color + neutral shades! Unlike the Element of Surprise, this one is more a warm toned color scheme .  Also, I...
