90 Days of Beauty! Day 76! Pink Edition!

Good evening Zombies!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Our was super busy and fun! We saw The Avengers...yep, BEST.SUPERHERO.MOVIE.EVER!

I'm throwing together a post tonight, with a variety of pink things. I'm really in to pink right now, seeing as summer is right around the corner!

First up, I did a small swap with Susan from Darling Girl Cosmetics, and she sent me this bad boy!

This is "Toxic Tales" Holo-gloss, which is described as: Bright almost electric melon with blue flakie.

And it is so beautiful!


My weekly mani consisted to "Uh, As If" from Spoiled and Sinful Colors "Rise and Shine" which is the green. This manicure is a lot more neon than it looks here. Uh, As If as great gold sparkles in it as well. LOVE.



Last but not least, Sarah from Little Mouse Ears made my daughter a nail polish and named it after her. It's a hot pink with red sparkles. We got it today and Leia wanted to put it on RIGHT THEN. So, we did. It's so pretty on her little fingers!


That's it for my pinky post. I hope you all have a fabulous week!

90 Days of Beauty, Day 77. Revlon!

Hey Zombies!

I'm trying out the Blogger iPhone app. Let's see how wonky this post comes out. Lol

I picked up Revlon's "Cherries in the Snow" a little while back and just got around to wearing it today. So very pretty and bright!

What are your favorite Revlon lip colors?

New Milani Shadow Eyez 12 Hr Wear Eyeshadow!

Good evening Zombies!

I have some new goodies to show you from Milani! I'm SO excited about this post..seeing as how I've recently stopped using my coveted jumbo eyeshadow pencils as a base under my eyeshadow, due to creasing, these bad boys have come along at just the right time!

Per Milani:
SHADOW EYEZ 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencil (SRP $5.99) big and blendable 2-in-1 color rich pencil, use as shadow or liner. Creamy smooth, long-lasting, water-resistant, crease-proof and paraben-free formula. The next generation of shadows that you sharpen. Available in 6 shades. Exclusively available at CVS.



Ingredients



Let's first talk about consistency! Each color is so smooth and creamy! That being said, they don't crease. After a few minutes, they become tacky to the touch but don't budge either- making the perfect canvas to apply mineral or dry eyeshadow. Once they are completely dry, they stay in place. There is no doubt that these are 12 hour wear! Personally, I like to use pencils like this as an eyeshadow base under my eyeshadow to make my colors POP! I'm excited to try these out and tell you if they crease under my shadow. Judging from the wear on my hand swatches however, I highly doubt that they will crease. If you're interested in wearing these alone or as a liner, instead of as a base, I am sure over a good primer, these won't budge..maybe ever. lol

The pigmentation is amazing! As you can see from my swatches, Royal Purple (which has blue sparks throughout, btw), Aquatic Style, and Green Safari are extremely bright and bold! Winter White, Champagne Toast, and Brown Deluxe are good for the more neutral at heart, but still so intense, bright, and pretty! Winter White takes a few more swipes than the others to become as opaque as you see here, but even with layers, it dries quickly and doesn't smudge.

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be experimenting with these pencils and will let you all know how I like them. So far, I'm really digging them!

Do you see any colors that catch your eye? I hope you're able to snag your favorites!

90 Days of Beauty, Day 78! Moi Minerals Quickie!

Hey Zombies!

Soo...our weekend comes to a close. Did you do anything exciting this weekend?

Last week I received a fun care package from Holly at Moi Minerals. She sent me 5 of her new Intense Blends eyeshadow and a Kiss My Lips gloss! I have swatches for you all.

The Intense Blends remind me SO much of MAC's crushed pigments in consistency and pigmentation. They blend down to an almost metallic finish. Very pretty, and a little goes a LONG way!

Chiller Attraction




My favorites of the lot are River Rain Field of Gold and I love Chiller Attraction! It is so smooth and creamy on my lips.

If you haven't been to Moi's website, I recommend you run, not walk and check it out. one of my favorites from her store is Diego, a medium taupe with a strong blue shift. Lovely!

Have you tried Moi Minerals yet? What are you favorite products from them?

*products in this post were sent to me as a gift.*
