Trend Tuesday:

k
Jean jackets, colored denim, and jewelry stacking have been 
really in this season! Heres a way you can incorporate these trends
 together. I didn't add any hair tools because this look would look 
great in a high ponytail, a low bun, a braid, curls, etc. I also did not
 feel the need to add shoes because this look would go great with 
many different pairs such as nude Tory Burch flats, sandals,
 flip flops, and heels.

I was in English class listening to a chapter from a textbook, and the voice-reader had an amazing, strong voice. It got me motivated to read aloud my own books, and share it with you all. I figured this would help those people who like to read the book, before they actually spend money and buy it. So I was thinking that my first book to read would be John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars".
Aha!  But there is one little tiny catch. I will have a list of books, but you will only be able to read them by asking me on either my Youtube; shenailsit. Or comment on this blog. Each post will contain an audio message that contains me reading. And I will also try to add the story's text if that's possible.
Thank you for reading!

REVIEW: Milani Baked Blush in Rose D’oro



This product is very comparable to MAC’s MSF’s, it has amazing pigmentation that is true to it’s color which is a red-pink with gold veining, and fine shimmers in a dome shape. The texture feels a bit chalky when swatched, but when it is applied with a brush it feels like any other powder blush/product. Another great thing about this product is that it’s longevity is amazing! I find that I don’t need to reapply this product throughout the day. It does wear off a bit, but it hasn’t ever disappeared off my face. The application for this product is very easy, just tap your brush into the product once and apply to the apples of your cheeks. If you want a more intense color, just apply more because this product is buildable! But, unfortunately I do have one con about this product; the packaging! It’s bulky! It looks like you’ll get a bunch of product when really, you probably get 1/4 of the packaging. It does come with a clear, full sized mirror, and brush which is great for traveling. Overall this product is amazing, and I recommend that you try out these blushes if you haven’t already. You can find them at your local drugstore, and they’re WAY less for any MSF.

Pigmentation: 10/10 
Texture: 8/10
Lasting power: 9/10
Application: 5/5
Packaging: 4/5
FINAL GRADE: A-

Check out my new Youtube!

New video will be up next week, I'll most likely post every other week on my channel. And conveniently my YT is also called "SheNailsIt". I have a regular makeup tumblr, (but I will be posting further reviews, swatches, and polls onto here) @obsessivecompulsivecosmetics.
I DO NOT have a Twitter, or Facebook fanpage, I'm thinking about making an instagram but it's not for sure. I'll definitely tell y'all when I finalize my thoughts. I hope you all are having a great weekend!
Much Love
