NOTD: Sinful Colors In The Mist (from the Enchanted Collection!)

Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up....

Don't wake me up, don't wake me...

I don't wanna fall, fall, fall, fall asleep...

I don't wanna fall, unless I'm falling for GREEN!

He he he...yea...I love green polish, and this baby, here, is NO exception!

All Fall long, I've been wearing dark colors on my nails, and even my clothes (surprisingly). Usually, I don't let the seasons determine my color palette as far as makeup, nail polish, and clothing is concerned.  I have no idea what has taken over me this year, but I'm totally on a seasonal color scheme, and I don't mind it at all... :-\

This polish is In The Mist by Sinful Colors. It's one of the new polishes Sinful Colors released for Fall 2012, from their Enchanted Collection.

I love the murkiness of this polish! "Odd" colors always have a way of tickling my fancy (LOL).

I noticed how In The Mist looks different in each of my photos, but the first one is the most color accurate. 

This polish only needed 2 coats to reach the opacity you see here! YAY!!! I love 2-coaters!

This polish is available at Walgreens and Rite-Aid, for only $1.99! \o/

What do you think of In The Mist? Perfect greenish-grey creme? Too dirty lookin' for your taste? Let me know below!

NOTD: Sinful Colors Muse (from the Enchanted Collection!)

After my last video, I had a few people ask me what I was wearing on my nails. Well, the wait is OVA peeps!

On my video That's That Stuff I Don't Like Tag, I was wearing Sinful Colors Muse, from the Enchanted Collection.

Muse is a dark grey creme polish, with a tinge of purple to it. Purple is one of my favorite colors, so you already know this polish is awesome to me. 

For the opacity you see here, I only used 2 coats of polish! \o/

I love a good 2-coater...

This polish is available at Walgreens and Rite-Aid. If you like it, I say grab it FAST, because it's limited edition and only $1.99!!!

What do yo think of Muse? Lovely & dark? Or too dark & murky? Let me know below!

Makeup Look: Rihanna VMA/Video Music Awards 2012

The Barbadian beauty strikes again!

Pop princess Rihanna was looking like a classic Hollywood beauty at the Video Music Awards this year! 

Her lovely self also won VIDEO OF THE YEAR! *fist pumps*

Her mega hit "We Found Love" won her that top spot, and I feel like that win was well deserved! That video was HOT, and had a very interesting story to tell.

Tribal Print Leggings OOTD + Revlon Chili NOTD

HELLOOOOOO SEPTEMBER!

Can you guys believe it's September ALREADY?!?! I sure can't! It was just the beginning of August, I swear....

Time sure flies...and I'm getting tired of it! I wish it would slow down, for once :(

I'm excited for Fall, buuuut I'm gonna miss the Summer more than Rihanna misses Chris Brown :'(

Ah dah well...

Wanna take a look at what I wore during a musical event this weekend?

As you all know, I love mixing colors and prints together in different outfits! I'm guilty of doing that, yet again, with this outfit. I had to spice things up a lil' before the summer ended completely...

FYI, printed leggins & pants are a MAJOR trend this season! ;)

top - H&M

tribal/aztec print leggings - Silence & Noise (Urban Outfitters)

mint/sea foam green wedges - Deena & Ozzy (Urban Outfitters)

Now, for the nail color I've been wearing all week!

As far as I'm concerned, Revlon is continually WINNING!

This is Revlon Top Speed in Chili.

This red hot nail color is perfect for this upcoming fall season. Perfect, I say!

I believe I used four coats of polish to get the opacity you see here. Chili has a jelly finish, so it takes 4-5 coats to reach full opacity. I'm a big fan of jelly polishes, so I'm used to the extra coats that are necessary for no VNL (visible nail line).

I hope you guys like this outfit, and the lovely Revlon nail color! I also hope you're not missing Summer as much as I am :P

NOTD (Or More Appropriately, NOTW/Nail Of The Week): Sally Hansen Yellow Kitty!

I never thought I could love a yellow polish so much....

UNTIL NOW!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polish in Yellow Kitty is, hands down, my favorite yellow nail polish of this summer! 

As some of you know, pastels are a favorite color group of mine. Pastel yellow is exceptionally ahead of the game in pastels for ME. I can't get enough of them! I love this polish so much, I've been wearing it all week!

A big let down is that Yellow Kitty is not as dreamy in application as it is in color :(

 All I got was a streaky mess on my nails until the 3rd coat of polish, but for this color, I'll endure the painful application.

I especially loved wearing this polish with this outfit! 

(blouse: thrifted, shorts: forever 21, necklace: jewelmint)

The contrast of the yellow and the blue was dreamy!

Have you rocked yellow nails recently? Are they a hit or miss for you? Let me know your thoughts below!

Makeup Look: Nicki Minaj "I Luv Dem Strippers" Music Video Inspired

Yes, that's why I'm crowned queen, and I ain't lookin' for the prom king!

This makeup look was inspired by the look Nicki Minaj wore in 2 Chainz music video for the song "I Luv Dem Strippers". Yes, I know, the title of the song can be quite off-putting....

but I love my rachet music, and this song fits the bill! Don't judge me... ( .__.)

No...I'm not cross-eyed. I'm just not photogenic. At all.

WHY, BABY JESUS, CAN I NOT TAKE A GOOD PICTURE?! :'(((((

Just focus on the makeup, guys...please! Lol!

Girls stay pressed... I call 'em a space bar! Nicki's words, not mine. :P

NOTD: Revlon Nail Art FrenchMix in Sneak Peek

I looooove great drugstore finds! ♥

While minding my business in Rite Aid the other day, I stumbled upon this lovely nail art duo by Revlon! It was in it's own seasonal display, and calling my name... O_O

These Revlon Nail Art French Mix duos are meant to be used to create a colorful French manicure, but I'm not too fond of French manicures myself. Even though the colors are complimentary to each other, I love them more separately! My favorite color of the two would have to be the periwinkle blue color! It's such a pretty dusty blue! 

(above is the periwinkle blue color in the shade)

Have any of you picked up one of the new Revlon Nail Art French Mix Duos? If so, which one caught your attention? =)

Drugstore Haul: I Bought A Nail Polish For $0.39!

CVS is truly an amazing place. It's my favorite drugstore when it comes to coupons and deals. Today I went into my local CVS with a $1.00 off Revlon coupon, and came out with a Top Speed polish for $0.39!!!
This week at CVS, all Revlon polishes were on sale for $3.99. With every purchase of a Revlon nail polish, a $3 extra care bucks coupon was given. I already had a $3 bucks back coupon from a previous purchase, so I used that plus my $1.00 off Revlon coupon. My total was TAX. The nail polish was basically FREE! AND they gave me another bucks back coupon for buying the polish!!! *WINNING*
Gotta love CVS!

Here's what my entire haul consisted of:
- Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Enamel in Pink Lingerie
- Elle magazine for March 2011
- L'oreal HiP Bright Shadow Duo in Showy (it was on clearance for $2 and some change! WHOOP WHOOP!)
 From Rite Aid I got:
- Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro nail polish in Sunset Orange (there was a $1.00 off coupon on the display!)
- Wet N' Wild Craze Nail Color in Nocturnal
- Wet N' Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner in Black
Rite Aid was selling Wet N' Wild cosmetics products for BOGO half off, and Wet n' Wild is one of my favorite cosmetic brands so I had to indulge ;) I've never tried their creme liner, so hoepfully it's good!

My February Favorites!

I might just do a blog post with pictures soon, but until then here's the video =D

Drugstore Haul & Swatches & NEW Wet N' Wild Palettes & Covergirl Lipsticks!

Guess who went bargain hunting?

Not me! I came across many good sale items, but it wasn't intentional at all! CVS had this amazing beauty clearance sale that I happily participated in last month. This month it's supposedly over, but if you're lucky you can still find some greatly priced gems! 

 I luckily found that L'Oreal HiP Kohl Liner hidden behind an eyeshadow duo. It was only $2.37! And that Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish in Purple Pizzazz was only $0.79!!!!

I bought two of the new Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipsticks, one in Siren and the other in Divine. I plan on going back and getting a LOT more! These things are AMAZING! They're moisturizing and very pigmented! They exceed my expectations of drugstore lipsticks. I now have a new repect for Covergirl. These are my first Covergirl lipsticks, but they will NOT be my last! I'm in looove =D

Here's swatches of the Covergirl lipsticks and the HiP Kohl Liner in black Kohl. From top to bottom, it's Covergirl Lip Perfection in Devine, Siren, and on the bottom is the L'Oreal black kohl liner.

Here's my new babies!!! I love love LOVE these palettes! Wet N' Wild is just stepping their game up with every palette they create! These are the new Wet N' Wild 8-pan Color Icon palettes in Comfort Zone and Petal Pusher. There is also a blue palette that was released, but I'm probably just going to wait for the next sale before i get that one. I had to have these two though! They're are so pigmented and such a great value! Each palette in $4.99! For EIGHT colors! That's awesome sauce right there, and you know it!

 Here's my swatches of the two palettes. The top 8 colors are from the Comfort Zone palette, and the bottom 8 are from Petal Pusher. To the left of the picture you'll notice 4 purple shades. Those are actually from one of the limited edition holiday palettes Wet N' Wild released last year called Sugar Plum Fairy. I swatched those colors because I wanted to show how similar they were to 4 of the colors from the new Petal Pusher palette. They are slight differences in the colors, but if you already have Sugar Plum Fairy and don't feel like spending an extra five bucks for the 4 completely different shades, then I'd say you could pass. I, however, really wanted those four new shades! ;P

Comfort Zone in shade

Comfort Zone without shade

 

Yea..there's just no shade for Petal Pusher..my bad!

What do you think of the items I hauled? Are they "haul-worthy"? =D

Old Christmas Face Of The Day (FOTD)

I never did do a blog post on the Wet N' Wild Cosmetics Holiday Palettes, and I totally should have. I used those palettes almost every day in December, and I'm still using them! My favorite was the Night Elf palette (pic to the left). It had the best pigmentation to me out of all four of the palettes, and it also has a Mac Club dupe! And that dupe color is beautiful! It flashes blue or brown in certain light. It's one of those colors that looks great on everybody! 

I did a makeup look during the month of December using the Night Elf palette. I actually forgot I took pictures of it until I looked on my computer today and found a random folder with the pictures in it! Lol! Here they are!

Pictures after the jump! Please read on!
