Viva Glam Nicki 2!

I purchased this the day it came out. I owned the first Viva Glam Nicki lipstick and lipgloss but I ended up returning the lipstick. I hated it on me but I loved the gloss.

This looked way better than the first one so I was sold even before it was released. Also, it reminded me of MAC Pink Friday which I never got my hands on so I jumped at the opportunity.

Viva Glam Nicki 2 is a purple blue based lipstick. 

I am wearing both gloss and lipstick in this one. My feelings are mixed on the lipstick. For some reason, I feel like it doesn't work on me. I don't know if it's because of my tan skin or my lip shape. I can't point it but I don't like how it looks on me. I can't make it work. Debating if I should return it or not

I do however LOVE the gloss. I love the purple/pink pastel .

I feel like Nicki Minaj in her "Va Va Voom" video while wearing this on my lips haha

DO YOU OWN THIS LIPSTICK/GLOSS?

Hair History

Throughout the years, I have played with my hair ALOT. I think I have tried every hair colors that I possibly could. (Natural color wise)

I don't know why but for some reason I was just never content with my hair. I changed it every 2-3 months.

My hair is a natural level 3 medium brown. 

I think the first time I dyed my hair and start playing around with bleach was my first year of high school.

This was the first time I changed my hair dramatically. I went from a level 3 medium brown to level 6 golden/caramel blonde . 

 After that, I decided to dye my hair a red velvet red. I had this hair color for literally 2 weeks. It faded so fast and there was no way in hell that I was going to dye my hair red every 2 weeks

 After the red I attempted to go back to my natural hair color. This shade is close to my natural hair color but it's a bit lighter

 I got bored of the brown and decided to add chunky blonde highlights in my hair

I kept adding more and more blonde highlights until...

I went straight full platinum blonde.

I kept the blonde for about a year and a half. I had to bleach my roots every three weeks until my hair could not take bleach anymore. I'm surprised that I still had hair left. My hair was very damaged and porous at this point. My hair would take HOURS to dry due to damage.

I had to dye my hair dark to disguise my falling out hair and nursed it back to health. However, I could not let go of the blonde so I had an ombre hair for awhile.

Present day:

Today, I have jet black dyed hair and I am planning to keep my dark hair for awhile.

I think out of all the hair colors I have had, this is "my" color.

My hair have came a long way to revive from the damage that bleach has caused but it is back to healthy.

I do have to re-dye my hair every 2 months because my natural hair peeps through but I don't really mind. Every 2 months of retouch is better than retouching my roots every 3 weeks.

My hair is so shiny and shiny looking.

I don't know why I haven't thought about dying my hair black before.

I do miss my blonde hair but I am never putting my hair through that ever again. shrugs

Thank you for looking!

How to: Depot your MAC e/s. Easy!

Wow, I feel really productive! 2 posts in a row?

I think I might be going back to my old hobby of blogging haha 

I am sure there are a BUNCH of How to depot your mac eyeshadow tutorials out there but I decided to share this anyway

It is SUPER easy. It takes less than 5 minutes

Shall we start?

First things first,

You'll need

-A straightener

-A knife

-Your MAC eyeshadow that you want depotted

This is MAC Newly Minted in case you're wondering

Step one:

Preheat straightener and grab your knife and pop out the eyeshadow

Step two:

Place the piece that you just popped out in to your straightener

Wait a minute then put the other piece in to the straightener

Step three:

After 30 seconds, take out the pot (leave the eyeshadow for another minute) then pop out the sticker label

 After, take out the eyeshadow and push it out

 Step four:

Place the sticker label into the eyeshadow

Step five (optional):

Buy a magnet and place under the eyeshadow. I didn't do this step

 Then place it in your eyeshadow case :)

Hold on to the pot. Collect six and go back to MAC to get a free eyeshadow or lipstick ;)

I hope this helped!
