NOTD - China Glaze Urban-Night

September 5, 2011

 I seem to can't get enough of wearing China Glaze on a daily basis. This NOTD is featuring Urban-Night from the China Glaze Metro collection. This is a rich purple creme polish, and I ended up doing 3 coats. I also wanted to make sure I took the picture in natural light. I noticed when I was taking pics of this inside, the color was way off. This is pretty much exact to how the color wears in person.

Excuse the slightly, almost inexcusable way I put this polish on. Sort of sloppy and I was in a rush to get to school. Just throwing that out there. Overall, I love this deep purple nail polish and is a definite favorite for me.

Review - L.A. Girl Cosmetics Luxury Creme Lip Colors



I recently got these lipsticks from Glimmercity and the deal was 2 L.A. Girl Luxury Creme Lipsticks for $4. They are normally $4 each, so it's like getting 2 for the price of one. Glimmer City has beauty and fashion deals for a certain amount of time and are pretty good deals. I think you all prefer the swatches to be on my lips, so that's what I have done. I have 4 lipsticks that are swatched on my lips.

August Favorites

August 29, 2011

Well August is almost over (It literally flew by, right?) and I had a few favorite products in this month that I thought I would share. I rarely ever do these kind of posts, I'm either always too late to post or just never get around to it so I'm excited to do a post. 



1.) Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes - I did full review of these already, so you can see that here if you missed it. I'm still loving these and I'm almost all out. One thing I have noticed since I use them everyday, is that they are a tad drying. Right after I use a wipe, I put on a face primer and I don't notice at all after.

2.) Senna Cosmetics Eye Color in Lavender Smoke - This is one of Senna's newest eyeshadows for Fall and I have been loving this color. It's a matte dark lavender, and I have been using this for my crease color. It gives me depth and color for a daytime look without looking overdone. Great color to add to a neutral eye! I will have swatches and a full review on this shadow in a future post.

3.) Tarte Cosmetics Amazonian Clay Long-Wear Blush in Exposed- I seriously cannot get enough of this blush. Since it is more of a brown colored blush I use this as a contour and it makes a huge difference in my usual makeup routine. I did a review post here.

4.) MAC Paint Pot in Painterly - My favorite eye base of all time. Such a great neutral color that I can wear alone, or with shadows over it and I know they will never crease.

5.) MAC Select Cover-Up Concealer in NW20 - I usually use the Select Moisturecover Concealer, but I needed something with more coverage. So I decided on trying out this concealer and it's been great. It has a medium coverage which is exactly what I wanted. 

6.) MAC Creamsheen Glass in Natural Flare - I had no intention on buying this lip gloss. Seriously, the lady at MAC gave me the wrong color, I had asked for a color shade. But by the time I got home I figured I would just keep it and see how I like it. So glad I did because I continuously have it in my purse. I love how it's nude, so it kind of goes with everything.

7.) MAC Lipstick in Bombshell - This is one lipstick that I had completely forgot that I owned and have fallen back in love with it this month. Bombshell is a frosty pink color that gives me a lovely color to my lips. 

8.) MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Tea Ceremony - I just recently bought this one and I adore this lipstick. I love how they are sheer lipsticks but with shine. The best of a lipstick and lipgloss in one without any fuss. Please let me know if should do a full review on this lipstick. I plan on buying more colors this week, so if you want to see swatches let me know!

9.) Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Face Primer - Okay, I know I have talked about this primer many times before, but I seriously can't start my face makeup in the morning without applying this first. It makes everything last all day and night. Love.

10.) Maybelline FIT Me Foundation in 120 - I have used this foundation all throughout Summer and it has been amazing. Holding up against humidity and super hot Summer days, it is a miracle foundation. I have done a full review on this before here, only the color that I reviewed was wrong, same results apply.

So there are my August Favorites! Hope you enjoyed!

NOTD - China Glaze Concrete Catwalk

August 26, 2011

 This is one of my favorite nail polishes that I have bought recently. China Glaze Concrete Catwalk is from the new Metro collection, as you can see from my previous post below. 

This color is described as a Steel grey creme. I have been loving creme polishes more than ever lately. This was very opaque and only needed 2 coats. I feel like I need to apologize for my nails being so short. I had decided last month to get arcylics (bad idea) and ended up taking them off. I couldn't get used them. What do you use to grow your nails healthy and long? Any recommendations would be great to hear! My nails are barely starting to look normal, so now I can wear polish and feel like my old self. Haha :)


Anyways, how much do you love this color?! I know, I will let you tell me. :)
