Prismatic Pop

Hello beauty Addicts, let’s talk about Pop Beauty Highlighters.

Today I want to talk to you about these beautiful pop beauty highlighters. I receive these in the mail as a PR package for me to try, but my opinions are my own.

First of all, once I saw this package I was in love them and how the package looks like a candy when you open it, and that rocks!

Second, who can go wrong with highlighters? I love highlight the more the better, I want to look like a glazed doughnut all the time… don’t you?

The package came with four beautiful colors In shades ranging from light to dark.

Shades:
Stellar light
Gilded light
Celestial light
Lunar light

They’re calling these highlighters prismatic pop, they are beautiful colors ranging from Golden to silver and even reddish pink tones.

They claim these are light reflecting illuminators, and they’re going to help you express your luminous glow to the world and I agree.

What I personally liked about these highlighters is that they are a creamy texture and it does not look powdery. These highlighters feel like butter on the skin and look velvety smooth. When on the skin they look like they are part of your skin rather than something on top of your skin. As a result, this made these highlighters stand out for me.

Most of all I love the quantity and quality of the product with the price of the product as well, at only $12 these highlighters won’t break the bank.

To conclude my rant I like to say that these highlighters are great! They are a great value and go on amazing on the skin. So, should you try these highlighters? I say do it, you will not regret it.

Wet-N-Wild Pro Brush Set

Posted on November 15, 2017November 15, 2017 by beautybyshaq

Hello Beauty Addicts

Welcome back to Beauty By Shaq!

Today I wanted to talk you about the new Wet-N-Wild Pro Brush set for the holidays.

Let me tell you a bit about them first:

. It’s cruelty free

. Densely packed, ultra-soft bristles

. Synthetic bristles mimic the consistency of natural hair

. Ergonomic handle for total control

My favorite thing about them is the ergonomic dip, it makes it so easy to use the brushes. Their hair is soft but still firm, and that’s why I think they are a good buy.

You can find them at Walgreens, it usually retails for $30, but this week if you have their rewards card you get them 50% off.

I first saw the pro brush set when I went into Walgreen’s for an errand I had to run. The Wet-N-Wild makeup brushes were front and center. It was like they were calling my name, I had to go to them and check them out!

The Wet-N-Wild Pro Brush set which includes 10 brushes, was advertised for $30 with a value of $90. I thought this was a great deal, so much so that I told my son that if he wanted that was something he could buy me for Christmas.

As I went on with my day I didn’t think much of the brushes. Later I start surfing through Instagram, one of my favorite accounts @trenmood1 they were talking about the brushes. I read the description and it says they are 50% off 😮! Online or in store, but online had already sold out!

I worried a little and wondered if I should go and get it .. it was late at night, instead I waited and went first thing in the morning.

I teach at a Beauty school and of course I shared the news with the Students and by 12pm it was sold out from the two Walgreens by my Job! Lol!! If you can find it, you should definitely go get them!

Needless to say the Wet-N-Wild Pro Brush Set is worth the money, are great quality and beautiful!

Eyeliner Tips & Tricks

Posted on November 26, 2012 by beautybyshaq

Hello Beauty Addicts!!!

The question I’m most frequently ask is:

How do you apply your eyeliner?

Followed by:

How do you make it last all day?

Which bring me to creating this post!

Eyeliner is one of the most flattering things you can achieve with makeup, Eyeliner can make your eye look:

Lifted

Awake

Larger

Smaller

Seductive

Conservative

and the list goes on and on!

So how do I apply my eyeliner? I’ll tell you, first you need to know my favorite type of eyeliner to use is Gel Eyeliner, It has the most smooth application and the darkest pigmentation.

People always say to me when I tell them that, that they don’t know how to apply it, they’ve only used pencil or liquid. Well I’m here to tell you that you are over thinking it! It’s just as simple, all you need is to find the right brush!

here are some examples:

Flat Eyeliner brush Thin Eyeliner brush (perfect for liquid)

My two favorites:

Round tip eyeliner brush Angled eyeliner brush

I think for beginners the bottom 2 are perfect, the round tip would be perfect for those pencil user, and the angled just gives you an advantage because of it’s shape.

I start my eyeliner on the outer corner of the eye and take it up as high as I want it

Then from the top of that line I go down on an angle, making it thinner to about the middle of the eye

then I start again at the inner corner of the eye until it meets up with the rest of the line

and then you should have a perfect Eyeliner with a bit of a cat eye. The higher you take the first line, the cattier the eyeliner.

For the second question (how do I make it last) it comes down to two things, either the brand of eyeliner or by setting the eyeliner. Some brands of eyeliner are great and will make it last all day (my favorite brands will be at the bottom of the post)! some not so much but once you set it, it shouldn’t go anywhere.

How to set it:

Here are 2 ways to set an eyeliner.

#1. after you apply your eyeliner, take your brush and dip it on a black eye shadow (or whatever color you are using)

Then go over the line with the powder.

That will set the cream, gel, liquid or pencil, and should make it last longer.

or you can buy and eyeliner sealer

These work the same way and there’s two ways of using them.

You can do just like I said above (dip the brush and then go over the line) or dip the brush on the sealer then on an eye shadow and then create the line. That’s perfect for people who don’t have many eyeliners and want to try different colors.

Now (as every makeup artist does) I have my favorite brands for smudge proof, water proof eyeliners:

L’Oreal has one of my favorite gel liners around $9.99

you can find it at Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, and some supermarkets.

Inglot lasts all day and come in a variety of colors! They have Inglot store here in FL at Aventura Mall and in downtown Miami and it cost about $14.00

Milani is the one I use everyday! because is extreamly waterproof , some may not like that but I love it!

you can also find it at Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, and some supermarkets for only $6.00

Make Up Forever, one of the leaders in makeup, has an eyeliner that is smooth and long lasting.

you can find this at Makeupforever.com or at spehora and it cost $18

And last but not least Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners. Long lasting and smooth! available at Urbandecay.com & Sephoras for $19.00

I hope these tips, tricks, pictures and websites have helped you!

I would love to hear from you!!!

What’s your favorite Eyeliner?

Have you bought any of these? did you like it?

Send me pictures of how your eyeliner came out after you tried my way, I would love to see it!!

Once again thank you Beauty Addicts!
