July Favorites 2011!

I never usually do a "Favorites" post on my blog, but this month I figured...why not?

I didn't have too many new beauty or fashion favorites this month...

the three "beauty" favorties were:
- Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antiqued Gold
- Lip Smackers in Fanta Strawberry
- Mac Pro Longwear Foundation

I was skeptical when purchasing the Sally Hansen crackle topcoats, only because I had heard such negative things about them after they were released. However, Antiqued Gold is a great crackle topcoat! Not only does it dry fast, it also looks great over every color! It also cracks very nicely on the nail.

I always love Lip Smackers lip balms. Always. I think you're never too old for Lip Smackers!
I bought a variety pack a few months ago, and so far my favorite out of the pack is Fanta Strawberry. It's very moisturizing, and tastes just like strawberry soda. What's not to love about that?

As far as the Mac Pro Longwear foundation, I find the formula to be very similar to their Studio Fix Fluid. The only difference is that it lasts way longer! It lasts all day for me. I can put in on in the morning, and not touch it up at all throughout the day. I ♥ it!

Also, this past month, my love for Big Red gum was rekindled...
I bought two packs last month...chewed it all the time...I was addicted -__-

BUT
Wrigley's has raised their gum prices!!!
WHAT THE HECK WRIGLEY! I don't wanna pay $1.50 for a slim pack of gum! >:o

whatever though...darn economy...

Outfit Of The Day 7/31/2011

I love mixing colors and patterns!
This outfit feels more Spring-y to me, but I just had the strongest urge to wear that jacket...

Jacket: Forever 21

Flats: Forever 21

Belt: Vintage

Nail Of The Day: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Going Green + Sally Hansen Crackle + GLITTER!

This has got to be one of my favorite NOTDs (nail of the day) in a while ^_^

On my nails, I'm wearing Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Going Green. On my thumb nail, I'm wearing Sally Hansen Antiqued Gold. On my ring ringer, I decided to add one of my favorite glitter polishes before adding the crackle overcoat. I used Hard Candy Break Up under the Sally Hansen Distressed Denim crackle.

Can you see the glitter? Can you seeee it??? 

Hardly, I'm sure...the sun kept deciding to play hide & seek while I was trying to take my pictures....darn you sun!

Also, I have recently been featured on the American Apparel site!  

 WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!!!

My nail art using their Trench Coat nail polish was featured on their "Best of Seen and Submitted" section of their website!! :D

Nicki Minaj & Ricky Martin, New Faces of MAC Viva Glam for 2012!

MAC Cosmetics has officially announced their next Viva Glam spokespeople for 2012!

Nicki Minaj and Ricki Martin will be the new faces of the Mac Viva Glam campaign. They both are already in Miami taking photos for the upcoming campaign with David La Chappelle, a renowned photographer. The new campaign featuring this duo will be begin in February. Personally, I cannot wait to see what this pair comes up with for Mac, or vise versa.I also love how the proceeds from this campaign go to such a great cause! The Viva Glam campaign was created in 1994 to help those affected by the HIV/AID virus, and every cent from a purchase of a Viva Glam product goes straight to their fund.

Are you as excited as I am about the upcoming Viva Glam campaign? What colors do you think the upcoming lipsticks will be?

OR maybe Mac will change it up, and instead do something other than lipsticks?! O_O

You never know what's under MAC's sleeve...

Pretty Polish: American Apparel Summer Peach

 

I love wearing pastels in the summer time.

I especially love wearing the color peach....

It's definitely one of my favorite spring/summer time colors, and this light peach polish from American Apparel suits my liking just perfectly.

 

I find the contrast between this nail color and the color of my skin to be pretty awesome, but maybe that's just me!

How do you feel about pastels during the summer?

Such an extraordinary talent. Gone far too soon. I truly hope people remember her for her talent, and that she is finally able to find peace.
