HAUTE LUXXOR Product Review

Im so excited to do this review for you guys. I received some products from HAUTE LUXXOR and they were more than generous in what they sent me. This company has got some great VERY pigmented products + FREE shipping on all orders over $25. Also whats great is they have a HAUTE deal of the week where that 1 item is 50% OFF!

Now unto the items. She asked me to go unto her website and choose a few pigments that i would like to review. OMG so exciting.
So I choose:
POSH this is a silver pigment with lots of payoff. I think it reminds me alot of Tiara by sugarpill. I think this is used best foiled.




MEDUSA this is an amazing green pigment with yellow/gold reflex in it




PROMISCUOUS (love this name) This is by far my favorite color out of the bunch. Its a beautiful teal color but with green emerald reflex. AMAZING foiled

DRESSMAKER this is NOT a Pigment but a HAUTE Glitter. I was so excited when I saw this that i really didn't pay attention the the *warning* These are high-quality micronized metallic glitters for your face & body.
*Use caution in or around the eye area*
Im so glad that HL put a warning label on the bottom of  the product or I would of never known THANK YOU

CORAL SEAS PALETTE I really like this palette alot.. I can tell that she presses these herself because the softness is insane. I noticed that when I received the package that the shimmer white color had sorta broke. thats how soft they are. I love how pigmented they are. The coral & teal color are my fav out of this palette. Swatches are in the video





Last but surely not least The HAUTE OBSESSION Collection. This is a 3 tear stack. This is such a cool idea to stack these colors together because they compliment each other so well. Sultry is so beautiful all on its own. and Vintage Lace reminds me alot of Nylon by MAC its matte.



**Im defiantly going to be getting some more stuff from this company. Especially the pressed eye shadows

So I was recently out at the lake & even though I put SPF 30 on my face i still got a GNARLY burn all my face. So i know I needed to make a video so I decided why not do one on how to heal & conceal that sunburn

Getting Married by Elvis

So a good friend of mine Sabrina Marsh is getting married to an amazing man Spencer Borghoff. She asked me if I would do her Hair and Makeup. Duhhhhh of course.


We first did a run Thur ( I recommend this to all my Brides so their not stressed out on their actual day). She was wanting an Old Hollywood feel. So we went with a darker neutral eye with a Nice Red Lip & the hair was a side messy bun and she had this incredible head piece that we attached to the headband.







Well the Big day came and Sabrina had a change of heart and wanted simple down curls with a nice smokey eye and nude lips. So thats what we did and I must say she was a knock out. She got married at Viva Las Vegas wedding Chapel and Elvis married them. Such a cute typical Vegas wedding.

SIMPLY KENDRA COSMETICS REVIEW

So if your a beauty video junkie like me, then you might of came across a Guru named Kendra or as we might know her by KVERZWYVELT. I remember coming across her channel a few months ago while I was looking up Mardi Gras Tutorials and I came across her awesome Mask Tutorial (CLICK HERE) and I noticed that the cosmetics she used was her very own that she makes herself.

So when I had the opportunity to receive some of her amazing,vibrant & cruelty Free Cosmetics I jumped right on it. Ok so I have to let you guys know how sweet & generous Kendra is. So she sent me a package with some pigments, sample baggies of her new collection a lip balm and a cute lil jolly rancher with an amazing nice letter, ok so here's where how sweet she is comes in. For some awful reason the darn package I never received it and weeks went by and I finally contacted her telling her this and she was shocked because the postal service told her I received it. OMG NO WAY??? So she said no problem Ill send you a new one with no hesitation or gripe about it. Well my darn luck 2 days later my darn neighbor shows up at my door and there you have it a pink zebra wrapped box addressed to me.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? So long story short I was honored to get 2 packages full of Kendra Cosmetics. I do want to note that I did receive this stuff for free. That WILL NOT change my opinion on how I feel about this line.

So What I decided to do is whatever I got duplicates of Im going to be hosting a Giveaway for my amazing viewers!

First I received samples from her Newest Collection Summer Warpaints

CLICK PICTURES TO ENLARGE

COLORS ACCORDING TO KENDRA
Krista-  This Jewled Jaded Green as Intense as it is Beautiful. High in  Shimmer  and ready for war!

 E=MC pink - You don't have to be Einstein  to know this hot pink. Bright and Bold shimmer pink.

Glitterbot-  Blue/Purple shade  with massive amounts of  pink eye safe glitter.  This shade has more Glitter in it than any other Simply Kendra Shade to date.  Because of this we highly recommend using this shade wet or foiled due to glitter fallout.
 
Madd Krush- Orange with undertones of pink & high in Shimmer. 

I so want to get the Full size of these colors

All i know is that I love all 4 colors. As soon as I got it the first thing I wore was a Deep Green Smokey eye using Krista.

Naughty Librarian: Is definatley my FAVORITE color! Its a Dark purple with fine multi colored glitter in it. I featured this color in my Aztec Cheetah Youtube Video CLICK HERE TO WATCH

Swamp Queen: Is a nice light green/yellow shimmer pigment. I think this will be great for your inner corner

Three Wishes: This is a pastel light yellow loaded with lots of shimmer in it.




 Voodeaux: Black Matte color loaded with multi-colored glitter. I applied this with a sealer to get the best payoff.

Mocha Diamond: Is pretty much what the name means. Its a light mocha shade with lots of shimmer. I used this shade in my Beach Bum Youtube Video CLICK HERE TO WATCH

LIP BALM

Smooch: Is a Pink Bubblegum 100% Vegan Soy Lip Balm. and when it says Bubblegum flavor thats EXACTLY what it is. It reminds me of Bubble Yum gum. This lip Balm is so soft and glides on so nicely unto my lips.
