Jewelry Haul (+ some gifts!)

Bonjour everyone!

Well recently, I bought some jewelry and received some as Eid gifts, so I decided to show you guys what I got!


I got these from Macy's (department store). I found them in the clearance section for only about $6!


These are from Forever 21. My sister actually got these as part of an Eid gift. And well, I happened to look at the price tag and they were only for a $1.50! How cute! (http://www.forever21.com/)
My best friend got me these from Charlotte Russe. They are basically hoop earrings. That store has some really nice jewelery for really low prices! (http://www.charlotterusse.com)

One of my neighbors who just came back from Pakistan got me these from somewhere in Karachi. Unfortunately, I threw away the packing so I don't remember the name of the store. And I wore these with my Eid clothes!

I got this from JcPenny (department store). Again, I don't remember the company because I threw away the packing. The necklace and earrings I bought separate. They don't match perfectly, but when I wore it together, you couldn't even tell that they don't go together.



This last set is my absolute favorite! Basically, the necklace has a faux leather strap and you can adjust and tie it around your neck. I got it from Kohl's and it was by Vera Wang. It cost me around $15. You can check out more jewelry by Vera Wang here:


So that was all! Hope you liked it!

Avon beComing double up eyeshadow and liner duet - Sugar Daddy

Aloha!

Here I am with my first review.

Well I'm going to start off with some of the older makeup I have. And the one I'm about to review is pretty old and I think is discontinued (unless you can find it online). Nevertheless, this has to be one of my favorite eyeliners so I'm going to review it (for practice, I guess).

So basically, this product is an eyeshadow and liner duet by Avon beComing. The color is called Sugar Daddy.






Basically, there are two sides-- one is an eyeliner and the other is a cream eyeshadow.





I'm not too fond of the cream eyeshadow as something to use all over the lid. I only like it if it's used as base because it really makes the color of the eyeshadow pop!
Even though both things are meant to be different, I use them both as eyeliners underneath the bottom lash line / lower lid. The dark purple is especially nice for a smokey look! Both sides are extremely creamy and glide onto your eyes smoothly!

Here are the swatches:

(The dark purple is super pigmented!)

(Left-eyeshadow, Right- eyeliner)


So what do you think?
How was that for my first review?

(Oh and sorry for the crappy pictures. I'll try better lighting next time!)
