Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!

So I decided to try a different color combo with the acid  grunge nails (tutorial), and used the colors that inspired me from a shirt I saw in Target.  The way it came out reminded me of wall paint peeling off an abandoned house. 
Nail Polish Used:
  • Orly Bonder for base coat
  • Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Lacquer - Black Swift
  • China Glaze - Secret Perwinkle
  • Sinful Colors - Fig
  • Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Lacquer - White on the Spot
  • Milani Nail Lacquer - Orchidia
  • Sinful Colors - Winterberry
  • Sinful Colors - Island Coral
  • China Glaze Fast Forward for top coat
So there you have it!  Have you tried doing those nails yet?  If you have shoot me a link!

Review: Wet 'n' Wild Megalast Lip Color Wine Room, Cherry Bomb, Mauve Outta Here, Spiked with Rum, Smokin' Hot Pink, & Mocha-licious

Recently Rite-Aid was having a sale on all Wet 'n' Wild products for 40% off.  I heard some good things about their Megalast Lip Color lipsticks before, so figured I should finally pick some up.  Especially since I am getting back into lippie items.  Yay! 
At first I had only picked up one, cause I wasn't sure if I would like how it felt upon my lips.  Once I got home, and tried it on.  WIN!  I loved it! 
So of course I ended up picking five more shades from them, since they didn't carry the other shades I had wanted.  Which is fine, I'll end up getting the other colors I wanted from WnW eventually.

Uh-oh! FiS moment!

Wait wait...it wasn't really an FiS.  More of I was buying items for work, and not to mention some gifts.  Meh FiS or not, it's a haul so HA!
I went to Sephora, and was only suppose to pick up one thing, which was the travel size for the Urban Decay All Nighter Spray.  Doesn't work seriously!  I always end up picking up something else!  So I walked around a bit, and decided to grab Sephora's Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner, and their pencil sharpener since I needed a new one.  I then spotted sponge tip shadow brushes on their sale items section for $1!  Grabbed up two of those.  The canister pots are samples I had asked for.  The left contains Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, and the right is Makeup Forever's HD Elixir Primer.
If you didn't know you could do that, well you can!  You could ask for a sample of foundation, wash, primer, etc. to take home and try it.  I normally don't ask, but I needed to check some other primers out.
See that black bag in the back?  That's where my items were put in!  It looks super sleek, and I was actually shocked.  I never received a bag like that from them before.  Have you?

So the next haul in was a drugstore run.
Walgreens:
  • Sinful Colors Nail Polish was going for $0.99 a piece!  So I picked up four at the moment since there wasn't really any colors I wanted.  One is for me, and the other three are for my best friend Leslie.
Here's a close up of the polish I grabbed up.  From Left to right:
  • Island Coral < a peach coral shade which is the one I got for me
  • Pink < one of my favorite neon pink polishes thought it would be fun to add to her collection :)
  • Pink Forever < I think it's one of their new shades
  • GoGo Girl < a nice red shade polish
Rite-Aid:
  • Wet 'n' Wild was going for 40% off the whole cosmetic, and nail polish line.   So I grabbed up two of their eyeliners a Mink Brown, and Black to use for the film mess.  One of their Megalast Lipcolor in the shade Mauve Outta Here.  I ended up realizing I should of picked up more of those lipsticks!
So there you have it my little spree.

What did you pick up over the weekend?

Boo!

I have been a busy girl!  So this was a sample I sent to my brother, who is currently working on a film.  It's my take on a possessed girl.  Nothing but some eyeshadow, foundation, and eyeliners did the trick.
  • Jordana EasyLiner Blue Devine
  • Jordana EasyLiner Purple Fusion
  • Jordana Mini Eyeliner Brown
  • theBalm Nude'tude Palette
  • Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette First Edition
  • BH Cosmetics 10 Color Palette Professional Camouflage Concealer
  • L'Oreal True Match Foundation
Seriously quick and easy, of what direction I am aiming at.  Oh and some help from Photoshop to make it more wicked!

L.o.t.D. simple does it neutrally!

Went for a real simple neutral look the other day, since I just got theBalm's Nude'tude I had to use it!

Review: theBalm Nude'Tude Eyeshadow Palette

If you love neutral eyeshadows, and want a palette that has a little bit more color variation, then you should check out theBalm's Nude'tude palette.
It has been on my list of wants for awhile now, but the only thing that had stopped me from obtaining it is well...if you know me, I love color!  Recently though a friend of mine Emily has got me into neutrals again.  So it peeked interest to me once again.  I then noticed theBalm was doing a daily giveaway on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, which by the way is still going on, so I decided to take my chances.  I ended up winning on Twitter from them!
I was super excited, and messaged them right away.  After being a pain in the arse of lack of patience, I had finally received it.  Eryn was even kind enough to toss in a Stainiac in the package.  So thank you for that!

Review: NYX Eyeshadow Base White

NYX Cosmetics' Eyeshadow Base in the shade white is my favorite eyeshadow base to use.  It usually cost $7, but sometimes you can catch it on sale at areas that carry the NYX Cosmetics product.  Very budget friendly, since one small pot could last you so long!
