Bronzed Goddess for Nymphette!

Hey all!

So, unless you live under a rock, like that Geico dude, you've probably seen the gorgeous Nymphette's Monthly FOTD Challenge. There are so many fun ideas that I couldn't help but jump on the bandwagon. Problem is, I was looking at Thursday, instead of Wednesday (I'm a bit of a derp at times) and did the look for tomorrow. HAHA! I'm gonna post it anyway, because I have the series post tomorrow anyway. :D

So...here is my take on "Bronzed Goddess!"



I didn't get terrific pictures, but it's because I had a migraine all day.



The Goods:

Urban Decay Book of Shadows II

Main lid: "YDK"
Above crease "Twice Baked"
Into crease: "Perversion"
Inner corner: "Hal Baked"
Lower lash line: "Ecstasy"

Urban Decay liner in "Bourbon" for upper lash line and "Zero" in water line

Lips:
NYX lip liner in "Mauve"
Hard Candy Glossaholic lipgloss in "Lush"

Cheeks:
Maybelline Mineral Bronzer Powder in "Sunlight Bronze"

This is fun! I encourage everyone to check out Nymphette's blog and come up with some of the looks on your own!

Milani Paint Palette Review and Swatches!

Happy Tuesday Zombies!

I have a special review today and SO excited to bring it to you!

The new Milani Paint Eyeshadow Palette!

Descriptions per website:

• Fashion forward neon colors

• Super-soft, silk-like application

• Use shades separately or blended together to create your own unique hue of art


Available in One Multicolor Palette

This palette is limited for July only- and if you're wanting matte neon colors (which I'm sure are FDA approved- I tried looking and couldn't find a "no") for a cheap price $7.99 USD), I'd pick this bad boy up!







I like the packaging, though it's slightly bulky. it is nice that all the colors are in one place though!



The colors ARE matte, so they are a bit chalky- but were easy to apply with my primer and creamy base. It was hard to get any pay off from the purple and green, even with a brush packed with product. The orange, pink, and white stole the show!





*lips: Wet N Wild "Just Peachy"

As you can see from my eye, the purple (which is in the middle of my lower lash line), green (outer lower lash line), and yellow (inner corner) were pretty hard to get any color payoff from. I ADORE the orange! I do not have a matte orange or pink, so I'm happy for those two shades.

Overall, I think this is awesome, since it's hard to get ANY approved neons in the US. Can someone verify for me that this is FDA approved? I like the colors, but will probably only use a few. I would definitely spend $7.99 on this palette. BUT, it's limited edition, so if it's for you, head to your local Walgreen, Rite Aide, CVS, or wherever sells Milani and grab this up!

Have you tried this palette? Thoughts?

I also have a small favor to ask! I was nominated for a blog award in the category "Best Reviews" and was hoping maybe you'd hop over and vote for me. I'm in the category with some great bloggers, so it's a tough choice. But I'd appreciate it!

Have a terrific day Zombies!

It's a hot one today..Steamy and yucky. So, I decided to stay in and try to bleach out the rest of my hair. It's a little yellow/orange, but I can easily fix that. At least the RED is gone, FINALLY!  I also decided to put my nose ring (instead of the stud) BACK in. I like it, doesn't hurt this time. lol

Evil Shades primer in "Pearl White" all over lid
Evil Shades spectrum pot in "Photonic Green" blended into lid for just a wash o color

Wet n' Wild MegaLast Lip Color Review and !SWATCHES!

TGIF Zombies!

I am SO glad it's Friday, I don't know about you. :D

I have some awesome lipstick swatches for you today from Wet n' Wild. I was lucky enough to be sent 6 colors.

Per the WnW website:

Lips take center stage! This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E help smooth lips.

I really hope to hear what you think of each color!















The colors are super creamy and easy to apply- and last a very long time on the lips without drying them out. I've noticed that with the other MegaLast lipstick I have. Obviously, they are also pigmented like WOAH. :D Cora-line is my favorite of this group. I'm on an coral kick right now. I also really like Red Velvet- bright red with a blue undertone. Yes thank you!

The only negative thing I have to say is that the names of the lipstick are only printed on the label that gets torn off of the tube. All your left with is the number/letter on the bottom of the tube. I guess that's a small thing, but it's easier for me to remember a name than it is to remember a number.

MegaLast Lip Color can be found in 20 different shades for $2.99 each. Most retailers such as CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aide, and Wal-Mart carry the Wet n Wild line.  Check it out YO!

Have you tried any of the colors above? What are your thoughts on the MegaLast Lipsticks?

New Series Coming Up!



Hey Zombies!

Just a quick post to let you all know what the new series is that Snarky P and I will begin this Thursday...

*drum roll*

Astrological Signs!

Every Thursday Amanda and I will come up with our best take on each sign. We've both gotten our hands on Hi-Fi Cosmetic's Zodiac 2011 Collection that will aide us in our creations. We're starting with Capricorn (January 19th) and will work our way down. Each week we will both do a look based on that sign, without telling the other what we're doing. All we'll know is that we'll each be using the corresponding color from the Hi-Fi collection!

I am super stoked and can't wait to see what Amanda comes up with Thursday and hear what everyone thinks of the series!

Have a great evening Zombies!

!Rockeresque Beauty Co.! Review and SWATCHES!


Good evening Zombies!

TGIF! We're in a world of smoke over here in NM because of various fires burning throughout the state, so it's been kind of a quiet (inside) day.

I was recently given the opportunity to review a new and upcoming company called Rockeresque Beauty Co. and wanted to share my swatches with you. (Of course!)

Per the website:

"Founded in May of 2011, Rockeresque Beauty Company (RBC) focuses on providing the best vegan cosmetics. RBC offers a complete palette of gorgeous colors to choose from so that you can achieve any look. These range from primary hues with a punch, to luscious and intense dark shades. RBC is happy to, not only offer quality and cruelty free products, but also cosmetic education about what you are wearing on that pretty face of yours."


I was sent 3 full size (5 gm) jars and 5 small sample baggies, as well as a neat little button with the Rockeresque logo lightning bolt. A nice touch, I thought. The business cards are AWESOME! Simple on the front with an awesome picture of a model on the back.



The jars were shrink wrapped with a sticker over the sifter- which I personally love. Although, sometimes the little tab comes off the sticker and then you're digging around in the jar trying to get the *((&*(^&*( off. Whoops, I took a side road there. Anyway, back to the review. The ingredients in each shadow was also listed on the jar, as well as on the listing of each eyeshadow.

Each color was soft and creamy and so easily blended into a swatch. I actually ooo'd and ahh'd a couple of times as I was swatching. Each color is unique and super pigmented. I was absolutely impressed with the colors in the baggies when I first saw them, but never judge a book by it's cover Zombies!


Do you SEE now what I'm talking about? Holy shit dudes, look at "XOXO" and "Misshapes". I almost died when I swatched "Misshapes". I can honestly say I do NOT own a color like this, and I am freaking stoked about it. "Teardrop" neared second in *squee* factor with "XOXO" hot on their heels. Honestly, every color  is so pretty. I'm not a HUGE yellow person, but "Chicklet" looks like such a fun color and "Little Lamb" is a great teal color. All of these colors with the exception of "Schoolyard Crush" are mostly shimmer. "Schoolyard Crush" does have silver sparkle throughout.

Yep, I'm excited about this company and can not wait to use these colors! The owner Issanna is a doll and seems to have come far from some recent drama due to another shitty company. Rockeresque's core line is small and limited, but I don't think that's a bad thing, especially with such great core colors. Full size jars are $6.00 on the website and samples are $1.00.

You can also find Rockeresque on Facebook and I know there are lots of fun things and offers coming up on the page.

Have you tried Rockeresque Beauty Co? What are you thoughts and favorite colors?
