Urban Decay Naked LipGloss

Urban Decay has the most luscious gloss in all these fabulous nude colors. Hopefully I can share the other colors soon. They look great on all tones (did my homework) and they feel great too! All my looks are pretty natural so this works great. Stay tuned.

OPI AND JEREMY LAING #NYFW

On Sunday, OPI joined designer Jeremy Laing at Pier 59 Studios, where Laing launched his Spring 2014 collection. Featuring sheer fabrics and a summery, 90s vibe, the line was complemented by sheer gray fingers and toes lacquered with My Pointe Exactly for an ethereal feel.

OPI Matte TOPCOAT

My new favorite OPI product is the MATTE TOPCOAT. Last week I tried this on black nails, and was in LOVE. I decided to try blue today, and love it as well. I have tried it with lighter colors, and it doesn’t really give the same affect as it does with dark colors. image a forest green, or even a dark vamp red in matter. Gorg right?

OPI EURO CENTRALE

This OPI collection is by FAR my FAVORITE collection of all time. The colors are so diverse, and beautiful. If I am feeling light and airy there is something for that. If I am feeling dark and naughty, there is something for that to. Get them while they are still hanging around girls.

Mama Lotion

Question. Is there anyone out there that is currently using Mama Lotion? I have read some great things about it alone, and placed an order for some. I am needing help with discoloration, and acne control and this is suppose to work wonders. Would love to hear from some actual users of the product. It can be purchased here.

OPI DANKE-SHINY RED

I have been a lover of red polish for years. Its classic, and brings a pop that only a great red can. Once you find a red that works with your skin tone, your likely to never turn back. That has happened with the OPI DANKE SHINEY RED polish, and a MAC red lipstick for me.

OPI NAIL APPS

Where are all my nail lovers? OPI sent over these fabulous NAIL APPS for me to try. I have never tried wearing anything other than polish, and these were easy to apply, and super cute. Once your done, simply remove them as you would nail polish and keep it moving. I recommend trying them out at least once.

Fuchsia minted apples

Yes, I am mint obsessed this season. Lets be glad I did not throw on my mint bracelet. And for the record, I was rushing out the door and forgot…so next time it will appear for sure      (queue the sound---DING). I painted my nails MINT CANDY APPLE (ESSIE), and my toes MOD ABOUT YOU (OPI). LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about the pink. It’s a cross between a pink, with a drip of lilac. Texas is basically springing it up right now. I don’t think we had a winter, and my wardrobe is really winter based. But I wont complain. But these colors are TAMS new best friends. WELCOME.

Refresh Mint

I think I mentioned I may be a bit mint colored obsessed. I walked in Walgreens, and spotted this beautiful minty colored nail polish. What is that I thought? WET –N- WILD? $1.99? I will be honest. I usually by the higher priced polish just because I have gotten better results. But I loved the color and thought, what the hell. But just like Mikey…I liked it. Heck, I think I love it. All it took was two coats, and a top coat which I apply on all polishes, and I was sold.

Of course I felt the need to share my nail polish adventure with photos. I hope the backgrounds show the true color. This color excites me. I think my nails are smiling. CHEESE.

The color is called:

“I NEED A REFRESH-MINT---218A” It appears more “blue” almost in the pics. But it has much more “mint” than pictured.

Do you have this color? Let me know if you get it.

OPI Pink Friday

I have been on the hunt for the right pink polish, and finally it arrived. I wanted something really pink, but not sheer and proper. I wanted full coverage fun, and that’s what I got. This is from the Nicki Minaj collection for OPI.

lashes

If there is one thing I love its pretty lashes. I have always wondered if paying more for lash product really made a difference? For the first time I made a comparison to see. I love Lancôme lash product and have purchased it for years. But today I was at Walgreens and the beauty expert was pumping my head full of positives on the L'Oreal False Lashes, so I bought it.  Now I paid over $20 for the Lancôme Doll Lashes and the L'Oreal False Lashes was only$8 at the “BIG” store. When I look at them they look similar. What I will say is the Lancôme brush is more sophisticated and gives the lashes that fullness that you see. I don’t know, I like them both. (THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST)

Do you see a difference? Do you think a price point really matters?

makeup bag musts

I am going to be honest. My makeup bag is not one that is full of products, but only the things I really need and use.  I have a hard time finding lip product that actually keep my lips soft. I have tried almost every product and came up empty until I tried VASELINE LIP THERAPY. They reached out and sent me a sample to try, along with the PRECISION TIP Q-TIPS. I am a Q-TIP user on a daily basis and thought they were great. They have both joined my makeup bag with all my other must haves. My lips have never been softer. The only issue I have is Mr. Styles loves it as well because of its effectiveness in the cold, so we battle over it.

My other favorites:

FRESH SUGAR: Smells WONDERFUL.  I cant seem to describe it. Just try it please.

MAC LIPGLASS: Squirt (LOOKS GREEN but goes on natural) and a natural pink which varies.

HAND SANITIZER: I am a germ nut. Enough said.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Burlesque, by OPI

I was sent the latest 2010 Holiday Collection Burlesque, by OPI. These colors are beautiful, and give your nails that fun punch needed to be seen. If you like fun, and bling. The glittered collection is the one for you. If you go for a more toned down look, but still like a ding of color, then go with the non glittered. Either way, you cant lose. I enjoyed playing around with the colors to see which looked best on my skin tone. Below are my favorites out of the collection. Sorry…I couldn't help myself. You can also “try on” tons of OPI colors on their website as well, which allows you to adjust the skin tone. Fun, and interactive.

*Excuse the nails. I have been crazy busy, but wanted to be sure they were posted prior to Thursday for all you ladies that love polish. If the color looks like this on my nails, just image how fab the color would look on yours.*
