Well blogging for 2 weeks in a row is completely insane i have nothing to talk about really i have such a boring uneventful life. But i decided i will try and do a review everyday about a product no matter what is it could be hair, nails, makeup or even food:) at least this will keep me some what busy and focused on this blog thing. Its funny how humans work, we always are excited at the beginning of anything but talk to us 4 days later and well we really could care less about it. Any who i have been on the hunt for magnetic nail polishes they seem so interesting but i dont want to pay over 10 bucks for a nail polish. I hear rite aid has them but i have been to every single rite aid within a 20 mile radius and nada.=( But i also here that Walgreen's has a brand out so now i will be on the hunt for that.
So its that time of month that youtube is bombarded with monthly favorite videos. I personally love watching them but geez there is soooooo many out there so this month i will be making a blog post on it. Not that i have alot of favorites this month but its more of a way of doing things. So deff lookout for that one.
Now im a big fan of pictures so here is two nail looks i did last week.If your curious what i used just ask.
So i guess i'll just keep this short and sweet because i need to be out job hunting. thanks to my three followers!! yall are great.
WELCOME

Ulta, new polish rack and random.
Here is the free gift I decided on.
I chose the purple one basically for the bag. when i saw this i was already in love and new it was perfect for my new makeup bag. It was a double plus when it had purple shadows and liners in it too. =))
So this includes 8 shadows, 4 eyeliners, a blush, two lip glosses, a lipstick, a full size mascara, 3 crappy brushes, a sample nail polish and a great bag. I love the polish it cam with but like a dummy i am, I didnt look at the display of this in the store to realize what color it was and chose the full size of it as part on my 17.50. what a waste grrrr. But it is a great color i just don't need a small size and a big size of it i'll never use it all up.But here is the other two polishes i got.
This is material girl, its a barney purple color with tiny sliver and holographic glitter in it. I really do love this color its fun and unique.
I know this picture is not the greatest but it the only way i could get true to color. Its called cream of the crop, and its a light pastely yellow cream. I deff hate the color yellow but this one is actually bearable for me .
Lastly here is a better close up of the sample purple polish.
Its called Lav-ish and its a sheer light lavender grey color with a gold sheen to it.So as i said in my last post i needed to build another polish rack seeing how my first one was full as soon as it hit my wall. =) i deff spend about an hour making the first one and it turned out not horrible but the second one took wayy less time and still turned out looking better. I'm so proud.
So last news for the day, as a typical makeup addict i check nouveau cheap's blog daily. She always has great posts and weekly sales ads so there is no need for me to hunt down the great sales for the week. This week walgreens had sinful colors nail polish 99 reg.1.99. SC is a great polish and it the major bulk of my polishes. so of course i was on the hunt for new colors at my walgreens i picked up two of them krissy and glass pink. But in my hunt for them i came across some left over Christmas gift sets 50% off. Like a good shopper i always take a gander and i found a 6 piece set of 1.7 fl. oz body butters, normally $5.00 i got for $2.50. Now they are a name brand and they are Christmas scents but who cares i love body butters. They all smell pretty darn yummy and you could beat that price. So i just wanted to let yall know about the great deal.

Final update on project 20 pan.
So i started 20 pan as my first blog post, and never did and update (aint i just the greatest blogger ever..lol) so i figured i would do one now. i ended my project pan after i did my project pan update video..Project 20 pan update Just because it was the holidays and frankly i couldn't help myself :). But i did start a project a project 10 bottle(Click here for video) that is still going strong!!! I wish i took pictures of the stuff before i started it oh well.
In case you don't want to check out my first blog post this is what was in my project 20 pan.
In case you don't want to check out my first blog post this is what was in my project 20 pan.
Oh the hopes when you start a project pan...Here is what i actually finished.
Rimmel stay matte in sandstorm.
Covergirl single in rosy outlook. So i cheated alittle on this one this was one of the oldest products i had and i couldn't get any color out oh this anymore so i called it a lost cause and dumped it.
i finished covergirl lashblast waterproof and covergirl nature luxe, both fantastic mascaras!
My first elf mineral shadow bit the dust it seemed like this took me years to finish but i will never go with my trusty celebrity eyeshadow!
Lastly the mini size of udpp depoted that can with a set from sephora.
now these i hit pan on or made the pan bigger.
Before..
After..
I was so flipping excited to hit pan on this blush!!!!
Before... the one with out the x
After..
Almost done but still working on it. This used to be my holy grail setting powder but lately i have been using different ones that work just as great!
Before
After..
I came such a long way with this quad!! the copper color is gone the cream one is not too far behind it and i hit pan on the slivery gray color!!
The rest of the items didn't seem to change much despite me using them everyday.. =(
But it was fun and you always feel proud when you get to finish a project. I do recommend if you have not been on a project pan before try it even if you have a few number of products. Its just all around rewarding you save money, you finish things you started and you fall back in love (or in some cases out of love) with products you have. I will do a post about my project 10 bottle when I'm finish also!.
Thanks for taking the time to read this
<3 Jess
Blogging everyday for 2 weeks :)
So as part of the new me im am trying to get in the habit of blogging. It suposly takes two weeks to form a habit, so im starting slow. When i first created this blog it was orignally to go with my youtube beauty channel, but now i thing it is just going to be a blog about everything. Meaning from makeup, hair, rants, everyday life things, you know just everything. So where to start??
Some of my new projects ive been working on i guess. the famous nail rack:)
Some of my new projects ive been working on i guess. the famous nail rack:)
Yeah its not the best and of the two places i went to get the supplies neither had black poster board (werid). but it works and i will be making a second one soon. i never knew i had so much damn polish till i put it on here. Its simple to make and everybody on youtube has it, so if your interested just search for it. All those little nails you see attached to each bottle yeah i had to paint everyone, it was actually kinda fun to make this whole thing. I got the idea from katieab or whatever her youtube channel name is to put swatches on the bottles.I love having the ability to put on a nail color first instead of having to paint it and take it off and repeating till i find the color i really wanted. So thanks katie!!
Next project i have been working on it making a collage of makeup picture to put on the letters in my room... i guess you need a picture to understand huh?
So I only have the J done so far but it looks okay right?
Deff a work in progress but ya need something to keep ya busy right? Check out my rubber duck collection i used to be obsessed with them :)
So just a quick little blog to kick of this new adventure!!yay.
<3 jess.

Project 20 Pan!! Part 2
So the majority of my project pan is eyeshadows because frankly I'm addicted, its true. ( I'm jess and I'm a makeup addict).
This is the CG eye brightening shadow palette for brown eyes. When it first came out i was slightly addicted to the coppery bronze shade just looked fantastic on my eyes, and that cream shade woah baby its perfect. (A dupe for the cream shade is brule by wet n wild). I never really would have thought that bronze and grey go together but they are a great pair!This is one dirtyy palette. Elf products are amazing but a crap load of fall out on there shadows. This is the 6 pan natural palette. At the time i bought this it was "limited edition" but now it comes out with every seasonal collection. the colors are ehhh. either not so pigmented or heavy on the glitter, the top middle gold one the so soft it crumbles when you put a brush on it. will not be replacing this once it is gone i can say that for sure.
Oh yes another CG, hey its cheap and most of all not to bad on pigmentation, so there..lol. This is rosy outlook its been discontinued for a while now. when i first started makeup this is the the only color i wore to i bought a bunch of them, this is finally the last one. Its very similar the CG mink ( which is a dupe for all that glitters by mac). Its a good all over the lid color. that's bout it..
My all time favorite elf mineral eyeshadow, Celebrity. its a sparkly golden champagne color that works great all over the lid. pop a little dark purple in the crease and your good to go. Ive been wanting to finish this for a while so i can have the container for one of the studio shadows that broke. i would deff be re buying this for a long time.
Lol.. the studio shadow that broke..this is amethyst, a amazing dark purple with some shimmer to it. came broken when i ordered and barely used it since then. I just didn't want to deal with the mess, but recently i spotted at cvs these lovely travel container jars and put it in there. works great now.prob not a re buying unless i fall in love with it during how every long it takes me to finish project pan.
I had to had a highlight color i could actually use.. this is Urban Decays skimp. I'll never hit pan with this, but a girl can try. its a shimmery cream color that works great. im not sure if it is still available because i got it in a set. i love the richness of UD shadows.
Three eyeliners.. yeah well i have a wayy to many of each color so i had to pic three. Starting on the left. Elf $1 eye brightening eyeliner in black, not the blackest black but its alright. Just need to get rid of it so i can open my new linear intense carbon black that im soo excited for,( two pack at target for $9.99). the middle is a dark brown eyeliner from a set i got one year for Christmas at Costco. yeah same as the elf ones... And the last is another elf eye brightening eyeliner in plum, a deep purple with a little bit of blue undertones in it.Over all im not so impressed with the $1 eyeliners from elf not as creamy as they should be much rather spend the money on CG liquiline or miliani.
Last two to end my project 20 pan..(finally) Is two CG mascaras.The lash blast volume waterproof in blackest black and the CG natureluxe mousse mascara in blackest black. The lash blast is left over from summer time and prob needs to be thrown out but it hasnt messed with my eyes yet and almost completely gone. Its good everybody on YouTube raves bout it, has a huge rubber brush with short spikeys. The covergirl Natureluxe has become my Holy grail of mascaras for the moment its lengths, separates and give enough volume to make me happy. the brush is a rubber brush but skinner then lash blast and longer spikeys.So this ends my project 20 pan. i might make a video about this or not havent decided.BUT i deff will keep y'all updated kinda forces me to stay committed ya know? i know a couple other you tubers are doing a project pan now to save up for Christmas. So jump on the bandwagon y'all!!
Project 20 Pan!! Part 1
Hey yall, so this is my first blog post. yay!! I'm going to try to blog everyday for a while to get into the hang out things. So what better way to kick things off by a project pan? So lets just dive into to it shall we....
My Rules:
Next is the Revlon Age defying Concealer in light to medium. I bought this a while ago during CVS's 75% clearance sale. This bottle NEVER ENDS, i swear I've been using it for the longest time and it just never stops. It works well as a concealer, nothing to rave about in my book.
Looks gross huh? This is the sample size Original Urban Decay Primer Potion i depoted. Call me a snob but this is the holy grail of primer potions. This is just a must have in the beauty world.
This is the elf under eye concealer and highlight duo. I just really want to finish the highlight side its one of my only highlights i have ( beside eyeshadow). Its an alright highlight nothing that i couldn't live with out, but i am on the hunt to find a good high light to replace this. any suggestions?
Oh yes the famous elf Blush and contour. This was my first ever elf product kinda got me hooked.. Great blush very sparkly, very pigmented. the "contour" tho sucks as a contour is has shimmer to it and sucks as a bronzer for me its very dark, I'm working with it tho. I'm counting each product as a pan. I've made a dent in the blush, but not so much for the bronzer. I might just trash the bronzer and keep using my NYC sunny. haven't quite decided yet.
My only lip product of the bunch so i thought i would just add it here. i have plenty of lipsticks and glosses but i just tend not to where them everyday. this is just a vanilla soft lips,every girl has to have a chapstick! or maybe like 20 of them... its 75% percent gone so ill prob be grabbing another one i have open. ill update ya on that. So this concludes part one of the project ten pan i think that's 9 of the twenty. On to part 2!!
My Rules:
- No buying new makeup! till 75% of the 20 are gone.
- Try to only use these products plus a couple necessities
- I'm allowed one day a week i can use different eye shadows not included in the project pan.
- The products i have hit pan on MUST be finished and the ones i have not hit pan on must hit pan before i can call it quits.

These on the other hand are some of the best setting powder a girl can buy! I have multiple back ups of these and will always repurchase these, rumor is that these are being discontinued???? makes me want to cry. but i think i have enough to last me two years tho. gotta stock up when they were packaged buy one get one.lol.
Any who as you can see I've hit pan on both of them and have for a while tho. Great product they are the rimmel stay matte powder in transparent and sandstorm.
