Maybelline "The Nudes" Eyeshadow Makeup Palette Swatch Review

Maybelline "The Nudes" Eyeshadow Makeup Palette Swatch Review by Glitter Lambs

 You might be wondering why in the world my numbers are out of order. Well, just take a look at the eyeshdow pallet below and take a wild guess. lol I messed up and started swatching the eyeshadows on my hand a little to far down and ran out of room so I just swatched number 6 at the beginning. So now you know. haha

I wish these had names. (sad face) I really like it when eyeshadows have names but these didn't have names for them.

Number 1, 3 and 11 were extremely light on my skin to the point that you almost can't see it. My favorite was number 4, 6 and 7. 

Which color is your favorite? You can click the picture to pull up a larger version. 

This eyeshadow palette has bold beiges, sultry sands, brazen bronzes, and over the top taupes. The alluring shades can be worn alone, or combined to create a flawless nude look. With endless possibilities and every shade of nude, this palette has it all. You can pick up The Nudes Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette from Walmart.

Hard Candy Just Glow Baked Illuminating Powder Duo - Twinkle Star- Review

Okay so I bought this Hard Candy highlighter cause I have this thing for highlighters. These colors didn't want to show up on my skin real well, but they are buildable. I do think they would look Gorgeous on darker skin. I"m pretty pale so this happens to me a lot. Certain colors just don't like me. haha

 It took a lot of swipes to get the product to finally show up on my arm, for me take a picture for you. I think this would be a winner for the darker skin tones. They really are beautiful colors. In the picture the top swatch has a sun kissed glow and the bottom has a whiter shimmer to it. You can pick these up for about $8.00 through Walmart. Check out their site at www.HardCandy.com.

 The above picture is the white shimmery baked highlighter which would be the  powder on the right side.

The above picture is a swatch of the powder on the left. It has the darker more sun kissed highlighter.

I actually use this on my eyes too. It is really pigmented and is just the perfect pink ever! I have an ivory skin tone and I just love how it gives my cheeks a burst of color. Everything I have purchased from Makeup Geek is always just jaw dropping gorgeous. (I really hope that she keeps the whimsical around cause I am not kidding, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. I can't even go without it when I wear my makeup that is just how much I love it. If you have been on the fence about buying from Makeup Geek..... just take the plunge and do it.....you won't be disappointed.

The Best Pillow EVER! Review by Glitter Lambs "Candlewood Suites Pillows" Restfulnights.com

The Best Pillow EVER! 

Review by Glitter Lambs

Restful Nights Pillows

I am not one to get to excited about a pillow when I stay somewhere on vacation but this pillow was amazing, fluffy and comfortable. It was so good that I just had to write a review on it.  

I can't begin to express how good this pillow is. 

No kidding! 

After the 1st night's sleep I woke up the next day and I was checking out the tag on the pillow and told my husband that I have to have this pillow. 

We must order this. 

This is the best pillow I have seriously ever slept on. 

I usually wake up with cricks in my neck a lot. The mattress we slept on was Superior as well and I was even trying to find a tag or who the mattress was by, so we could look into buying this but I couldn't find any information on the mattress. Yes...it was that good. 

We stayed several nights and each day I woke up with no crick in my neck and my back didn't feel twisted like it usually does.

If your looking for a pillow then look no further. You MUST TRY THIS ONE OUT! 

The tag on it reads- "RESTFUL NIGHTS" www.restfulnights.com

I went to the website and couldn't order straight from the website so we went to Amazon to look and we found them.

I was a little worried that it might not be the same pillow, but it was. 

It was the exact same and I haven't regretted paying $42.00 for a pillow. I thought this thing better be worth it for the price. It was..... 

Awwwww ....the restful nights I have had since this amazing pillow has came into my home has been incredible.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this pillow. I read some of the reviews left about this pillow on Amazon and it had some mixed reviews. Which made me nervous about ordering the pillow because I really wanted the same pillow.

I have no complaints at all. 

All I know is that I got exactly what I was looking for.

**Nikon COOLPIX P510 Camera Review***

I took this picture using my Nikon COOLPIX P510 camera. I LOVE MY NEW CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   It's close-up macro mode is incredible, allowing you to focus as close as 0.4 inches (1cm). This camera also has an incredible zoom range of 24mm-1,000mm. WOW! Were talking private investigator style!

I am very happy with this camera. My old camera would not even come CLOSE to capturing the tiny glitter that is in the picture above. My old camera would just show it blurred. The smallest glitter size in the photograph is my white holographic glitter that shifts to pink when the light hits it is a .027.

The Nikon Coolpix P510 captured the glitter mix with no problems. I have NEEDED this for a long time....Now I can finally take some pictures that look good. YES!!! By the way I just took this picture in a normal mode. I have not even learned how to use all extra features nor did I apply the close up mode to this. I am still learning how to use this camera...
