November Favorites 2011

Hey I have been promising to put my videos on here.. soo here is my November favorites!!!

NOTD: Sparkly Holiday Red

Hey guys!! I'm here with another Nail Of The Day! I have been on a huge nail polish kick lately especially China Glaze nail polish. I was messing around with nail polish combos the other day. I had my nails already painted with China Glaze's Liquid Leather (shiny black) and I happen to grab Ruby Pumps, which is also by China Glaze.

I honestly think I found my new favorite nail combo. Its absolutely gorgeous! Its dark, but flashes red shimmer.. the picture really isn't doing it justice. Ruby Pumps by itself is a perfect holiday color but over a black base it gives Ruby Pumps an edgier vibe.

What are your favorite holiday nail polishes? Let me know in the comments :)
 Until next time be cute, and be creative!

Nail of the Day- Camo Nails!

Hey Everyone! So  I was inspired to rock these camo nails when I was talking to a friend of mine who is in the Army. Hes currently in Afghanistan, and so in honor of him I told him I would be painting my nails camo. Of course as a typical male would respond.. "how on earth are you gonna do that". The Answer.. "Very Carefully".

I used China Glaze nail polish in Tree Hugger(shimmery Lime Green), Recycle(gray), and Near Dark(Dark Forrest Green). I also used a dotting tool but you can also use a bobby pin :). Anyways I think it turned out kinda cool.

I got my China Glaze nail polish from a website that sell them for $3.00, yes you read correctly.. $3.00. The website is 8ty8 Beauty.com I got the dotting tools there as well :)

Until next time, Be cute, Be Classy.

The Name Change?

Hey Everyone! Sorry I have been M.I.A. So I know that no one knows how to pronounce the title of my blog and in honor of my first youtube video tomorrow I think I should change the title of my blog to something a little more catchy... thoughts? Oh and I will post the video on here too :)

Itty-Bitty Sephora Haul

Hey everyone! I have a itty bitty Sephora haul for you all today :).
 
















Sephora recently had its Friends and Family sale, which was a 20% discount with a code that you could get sent to your e-mail. With the 20% discount I was able to justify purchasing a NARS product.

I purchased a NARS bronzer, and I am already a big fan of the packaging. I love that there is a big mirror in this compact. The product itself is huge it will definitely take me a long time to use it all up. I sure you all can guess what shade of bronzer I got.

 If you guessed NARS Laguna, you are correct :) I have wanted this bronzer like forever! I have heard nothing but great things about this bronzer. I am very pale so bronzer helps me look not so dead haha.

Here is a blended out swatch of NARS Laguna. It a warm light brown with a rose gold sheen. I really am glad I purchased this. I expect it to quickly become one of my holy grail products.

Stay tuned for more hauls and reviews! Hope you all had a great Halloween!

If any of you purchased something(s) from the Sephora Friends and Family Sale, let me know what you got in a comment or if you have a blog post about it, leave a link to it in the comments below :)

Mini MAC haul and review

Hey  guys, today I got a mini Mac haul only because I got one thing. This is my first Mac product, so I was so excited when the package arrived at my house. Of course MAC products come in a little black box. I actually had a laugh when i saw the way MAC had packaged it with the tissue paper, with the one little MAC product in the middle of the box.

 I got only one thing because MAC is a little out of my price range currently. I purchased a paint pot in Painterly, which is apart of MAC permanent line. Amarixe is my favorite beauty guru on YouTube and she speaks very highly about this product. If you haven't seen her blog or you haven't watched her videos go check her out because she is awesome! Her blog is  http://www.amarixe.com. Her YouTube is http://www.youtube.com/user/amarixe 

 The first thing I noticed was the iconic black MAC packaging. (Which I still have, I can't bear to throw it away)  I was also surprised at how small the little box was, for some reason I thought it would be bigger. However, with the size of the little box is what makes it so cute.

I also really like the packaging of the paint pots themselves, with the classic black top and glass container. The paint pots weigh about a pound, when I was holding it in my hand it was almost like I could feel the quality of the product.

Painterly is a flesh toned blend able cream product. Paint pots are usually used as a base on the eyelid, which is why I bought Painterly.I was also pleased with the amount of product I got, it is going to take me awhile to use this.

Here is Painterly swatched on my hand, you can barely see it. Its the perfect flesh toned color that matches the skin on my eyelid. It blends nicely onto my lid and my brow bone. It hides the veins and discoloration on my lids. So far I am very pleased with this product and I hope to make more purchases from MAC in the future. :)

Here is the MAC website link to the paint pots  http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/154/1573/Paint-Pot/index.tmpl 

So until next time Stay Beautiful :)

bh cosmetics haul!

Hey guys.. I am super excited to be making my first real blog post and its going to be a haul! Yay! So I have been looking at  getting a 120 palette from bh cosmetics for awhile now and I finally decided on one.  

I decided on the 2nd edition. It was $23 plus shipping. I was very impressed by the packaging and the care that went into it to make sure I got my package in purchase in perfect condition. The palette itself came in its own box, inside of the package. Even in it's little box the palette was wrapped in bubble wrap.

The palette is a sleek glossy black. With two layers of 54 eye shadows. There are a mix of shimmer and matte shadows.

The first layer of shadows is mostly brighter colors. I love bright colors personally but I am really loving the shimmery bright colors. The shades of color in this palette is gorgeous.

The second layer has more shimmery shades than the first. In this layer there are some warm browns, beautiful reds and purples, along the blues and greens, which i am just in love with.

I love the gradient of the colors when the layers are next to each other in the palette.  The only thing i don't like about this palette is that there no mirror but that's just me. Over all I love this palette and i can't wait to start playing with all the colors.
