Graftobian review (part one)

Graftobian, where have you been all my life?!

If you are not familiar with Graftobian yet, I highly recommend that you get acquainted ASAP!

Graftobian is an amazing superstore filled with every makeup artist (or aspiring makeup artist)'s every want and need! Even if you just love makeup but have no intention of turning it into a career, you should still check Graftobian out. They have EVERYTHING. And I do mean EVERYTHING. This is "part one" of a two part review. I thought I would dedicate an entire post to this beautiful train case! I have the "Deluxe" train case, and I LOVE it. It's beautiful, easy to travel with, durable, This train case is exactly what I have always wanted but had never found with other train cases.



There are many styles to choose from, they are very durable and can withstand a LOT! It's a super attractive way to organize your collection or your kit as a professional or budding makeup artist.

Here is my Deluxe train case, filled with some of my collection:



As you can see, there is plenty of room and even removable sections made of foam and plastic material. These removable sections allow you to organize your train case according to your own tastes. You can add sections, remove sections, OR take them all out and re-organize! You can get your very own Deluxe train case for only $85.99!

Stay tuned for part two!

Cliche Cosmetics review



Wow. All I can say is that Cliche Cosmetics pretty much rocks. You can customize your own palette to create your own full look! You can buy pre-made palettes or make your own. There are so many different combinations to choose for the 4 eyeshadow spaces, you can choose: a lid and crease color, a liner, and a highlighter or you can choose four shadows (like I did in my custom palette). The bright colors are extraordinarily pigmented and show up beautifully in person and on camera! There are eight cheek colors to choose from: six blush shades, and two shimmer shades. I chose the light pink shimmer shade, it's an AMAZING highlighter! Finally, there are four different lip shades: 2 glosses, and 2 lipsticks. I chose the pink lipgloss, it's a beautiful bright pink with golden flecks. What would you choose?



Click here to browse pre-made palettes!

But there's more! You can also browse face products, eye products, lip products and Cliche Cosmetics even has a brush set!

I LOVEEEEEE the HD lipgloss. I tried "Strawberry". The color is sheer bright pink, instantly brights up my NW15 complexion - especially on a humid summer day! Not to mention the amazing smell. I couldn't stop sniffing the application wand!


Check it out! I know that my readers have great taste in cosmetics and really know a good value when they see one! You won't be disappointed by Cliche Cosmetics, trust me!

4 The Love of Couture shop review






A cute online shop called 4 The Love of Couture recently send me a pakcage of goodies. The shop offers couture items for low low low prices. They have brands like Coach, Harajuku Lovers, Juicy Couture, and more. They recently sent me a sweet little D&C perfume set, which was so nice of them, and they also sent me a some of their new Juicy Couture for Men line of body wash, hair gels, etc. They sent me the Bad English shower gel for men which I of course handed over to the nearest guy, who immediately loved the scent. I found the scent of the shower gel to be really nice also, it's something all of you ladies out there wouldn't mind smelling on your guy, thats for sure :) I didn't even know that Juice Couture was making shower gels and items that appeals to men also. That rocks! I definitely look forward to seeing whatever else Juice Couture comes up with.

I'd like to send a thank you to 4 The Love of Couture for their prompt service and very friendly customer service. Feel free to check their website out and see what other goodies you can find deals on. I especially love the handbag selection.

I'm still alive!

Hey everyone,
I'm sorry I haven't been around. I have some reviews coming up of some amazing brands that I am absolutely in love with. I'm going to keep this short, I've had a lot of personal things going on, and it all sort of hit me at once so I'm trying to bounce back from all of that so I will be back to my blogging self in just a few days, so PLEASE bare with me! I can't wait to share the next set of reviews with you guys!!
