Perfect "Slaying" Pink Nude Polish For All Skin Tones 💘 ZOYA Polish Review


I admit I don't take care of my nails as much as I should/used to, but I'm trying to change that. So today I decided to polish my nails so they would stop looking homeless and so that I would stop biting them and picking the skin around my nails(damn anxiety). The hardest part about all of this is choosing a nail color. To me, it's like a life or death situation lol. Luckily for me I got my FabFitFun box recently and in there was a nail polish. Thank God I don't have to spend 40 minutes picking between 7 different colors.


The brand of polish that came in the FabFitFun box is by ZOYA. I've never owned a ZOYA Nail Polish before, have you? I was very excited when I saw it. I felt like my ZOYA cherry was popped. My excitement was real! I'm very impressed and slightly in love. 

This ZOYA polish is the prettiest pink nude with brown undertones I've ever seen in all my years of wearing nail polish. This shade would slay any and every skin tone! That is absolutely a fact! Remember though just because it's a beautiful color doesn't mean it's a good formula. Luckily again, this polish is all around awesome!












This polish isn't thick nor thin, it isn't stringy, and it doesn't take a year and 9 months to dry! It goes on smoothly and dries super quick if you apply thin coats at a time. That's with any polish almost though. It only took two thin coats of this polish to get full coverage. It only gets better though! The staying power WITHOUT a top coat is out of this world so imagine it with one. It doesn't chip or smudge off. It's neither sheer or opaque, it's right in the middle. I definitely recommend this polish to everyone. It's $10 on ZOYA's website. I'll put the link below to make the search easier for you. Hope you enjoyed my post lovelies. ♛iCRAiZ - The Makeup Eater

Clean Makeup Brushes = A Happy Clear Face ♡


I was always the pre-teen/teen with pretty nice skin, but if you would've told me I had a nice complexion, I would've asked you, "B***h, where"? Those couple of pimples made me very insecure. So insecure that I would use my mothers face powder to attempt to cover them(I was in the 7th grade). Being so young, I didn't have a skin care regimen. I just washed my face with the bar of soap I bathed with. As I got a little older I started to try different "zit creams". Some didn't work and one worked so good that my face saw it as a drug and quickly became addicted to it so when I didn't give my face what it craved it would turn on me and give me the face I never wanted...A FACE FULL OF ACNE AND BURNS. That product was Proactive.

I had to stop using that product because I never wanted to use a product that would make me have to use it for the rest of my life. After I trashed my proactive and let my face clear up naturally, I realized that I do have a nice complexion. As I became an older teenager and was almost done with high school I became interested in makeup, ALL things makeup. I learned that I really had to take care of my skin if I wanted my makeup to look flawless. I quickly learned that not only do you need great skin products that fit your skin type, you need a great product to clean your makeup brushes that will help you keep that flawless face.

"Why?" is it important to clean your brushes you ask? Have you ever not cleaned them and noticed multiple little bumps on your face? Specifically the cheek area? Yeah? You're not cleaning your brushes enough or not cleaning them well enough. You should clean them after every use especially face brushes and especially if you do makeup on other people. When you don't clean them, you are allowing bacteria to grow and live inside your bristles and then you transfer them to your face causing those little bumps.

 The brush on the left is dirty from multiple uses and the brush on the right was recently cleaned using Coastal Scents Brush Shampoo Cleanser. It took one go around and the brush was fully cleaned.
They're numerous ways and numerous products to get clean brushes. I've used homemade products as well as store bought products. If you're interested in a DIY Brush Cleaner, I have a video from my YouTube channel below that shows you two household items that can be used as a great brush cleaner. If you want to buy a brush cleaner to save time then keep reading.


Coastal Scents sells this AWESOME brush cleaner called Brush Shampoo Cleaner($4.95) that's affordable(everything on Coastal Scents is affordable actually). Not only does it not damage your bank account, it cleans better and faster than anything I've ever tried. I use my palm to clean my brushes because it's free(it's connected to me lol) and within two swipes back and forth, my brush is completely clean and ready to be rinsed. This product also conditions the bristles and fibers, offering a soft finish.

If you happen to still be interested in the homemade brush cleaner I mentioned earlier, here is the video. Let me know if you try either one. ðŸ’‹ iCRAiZ - The Makeup Eater
