EDM HAUL !!!

There have been lots of talks about the Super Custom Kit of everyday minerals disappearing forever on July 2nd, and since i thought well i don't think there will be another kit like the SCK again I decided to plunge into deep waters and order.. even though I'm well stocked for the next 10 years or so. Anyway I ended up purchasing one SCK and one PCK I tried to justify my massive purchase but was let down when 3 days after placing my orders everyday minerals have announced that they are not discontinuing the SCK.. so that was really bittersweet news to me. Even though I ended purchasing things I didn't necessarily need.. I did though love my purchases ! heres what i got !!

SCK:

1. 3x Olive Medium in semi matte & matte
2. 2x Sprung! blush (i love sprung blush !! my favourite!!)
3. 1x Plum Dust blush
   
4. Peach Color Corrector
5. Lavender Pressed
6. Sandcastle Pressed
7. Summer Bronzer
8. Buttered Tan Pressed
9. Medium Beige Pressed

PCK:

1. LHK ( i only have one..and needed another one for backups !)
2. 2x Sandy Olive
3. Apple
4. Sprung!
5. Summer Bronzer

The Box Of Surprises !!!
I always love getting one of these in the mail !!

I love how colorful the lids are !!
Different colors for different products !

Lavender Pressed Eye Shadows
all I can say is that its absolutely lovely !
I didn't think I could wear these colors but they really are very wearable!

Sandcastle Pressed Eyeshadows
My new favourite !! love doing smokey eyes with this !!

Summer Bronzer Pressed
absolutely lovely !! just enough shimmer and great for contouring !!

The only con I can think of for the pressed palettes is the jojoba oil smell.. though the pressed powders are now alot smoother and finer than the old one everyday minerals used to have.. the smell just doesn't do it for me. I think I am getting used to it though.. it doesn't smell as appaling as it used to when I just got it.

Review: i.d Magic Wand Brushless Mascara

What They Say:
Cast a magic spell right before your eyes. With the wave of a magic wand, create the never-ending lashes you've only dreamt about. The revolutionary design of Magic Wand Brushless Mascara allows you to individually coat each lash one at a time from every imaginable angle for fuller, longer-looking lashes. It also works magic when layered over your favorite mascara for added volume. The overall effect is like wearing false eyelashes

My Verdict:

Finish: 5 out of 5.. stays on all night !! no panda eyes !!
Consistency: 5 out of 5.. ultra smooth consistency !!
Ease Of Use: 5 out of 5.. just like an ordinary mascara.
Price: 5 out of 5.. affordable !
Overall: 5 out of 5

This is my HG mascara ! I've been meaning to write a review about this little magic stick awhile back but just didn't have time. At first I was sceptical.. I mean who would've heard of a brushless mascara?? Isn't revlon/covergirl etc. always trying to come up with ways to improve their mascara brushes?! Well don't let the "brushlessness" scare you !! This mascara is absolutely magic !! It makes my lashes super thick, super long !! It really does deliver ! and best of all it is easy to apply and to remove !! I absolutely testify that you will have no panda eyes by the time your night at casino ends !! I love this mascara and best of all its mineral based so its also good for your lashes !! Apart from making you look like you have doll eyes the consistency of this mascara is very smooth.. no clumps at all.. beautiful and very light on the eyes it won't make your lashes feel "heavy" and at $32.99 (@ myers & djs) wouldn't you want to buy it too?!

I hope my before and after pics show how lovely this mascara is !

yay my edm has finally arrived !!
