Army of 20

Last night I was browsing the makeup section in Target and I found Sonia Kashuk nail polish! I am in L-O-V-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The color is called fatigued hence the name Army of 20 because I used it on my nails and toenails ASAP!!!!! It applied opaque in 2 coats and the wear so far is fantastic! My nail polish always chips very easily as I always have my hands in water! So no chipping so far and the color is a fantastic army green! The price was only $4.99 too! That's surely a bonus! I bought another shade that I'll post once I use it! And I will definitely be hunting down some more colors :)

Army Kisses! XOXO

In with the new :)

One good thing about a third floor apartment is getting exercise running up and down the stairs! Even better is no roommate and a Marilyn Monroe inspired living room! One bad thing is being busy getting things together and working! So now that my place is all together, I'M BACK!!!!! :) 

My fur kid and I enjoying our new home :)

In the meantime, I've bought some awesome stuff that I'll share with you soon! I have a few new obssessions    and some packages arriving in the next few days that I'm super excited about! 

Sidenote: Did you hear about the Naked 2 Palette?! UD has been releasing little teasers on Facebook!!! I'm super excited and will definitely be buying it! I'll keep you guys posted!

Busy Bees Make the Money Honey :)

Lately I've been slacking when it comes to this blog! :( Not cool!  But I've been busy working and getting ready to move into a super awesome apartment downtown! :) KING and I can't freakin wait!!! So once we move and get settled things should calm down a bit! I haven't been forgetting about makeup, so i wanted to show 2 looks I took the time to take pictures of of while I was super duper busy!!

With this look I used Pretty Addictions Hellow Yellow and the yellow shimmery shade from the ELF little black book!!! I'm in LOVE with Hellow Yellow!!!!

With this look I used all Pretty Addictions! I used Candy Corn, Hellow Yellow, Mai Tai, Coral Reefer and Bubbly! This look was inspired by the sunset :) 

I've bought some pretty addictions stuff recently, I will do some swatches shortly!!

Clearance Makes My Wallet Smile! :)

On a recent trip to Target, yes I'm a target person hahaha! I'm not the biggest fan of Wal-mart! Back to my Target trip, I found some ELF products on clearance for 50% off! Yep, 50% off! Now ELF is already VERY wallet friendly, so imagine my surprise at wallet friendly cut in half!! So I picked up 2 things for $2.50 each! I was very, very pleased with both of my purchases for the price!

 I'll start with the ELF  Beauty Eye Manual Smoky Edition.This book, because it's styled to look like a notebook, has 12 shadows, a black eye liner pencil and a small double ended sponge applicator. It also has a notes section where you can record looks that you make!

Some of  the colors were duds, but about half of them were pigmented and applied easily!

This first row was the worst! The second shade was dry and awful to try to get any pigmentation for swatching! But the light grey on the end almost makes up for it, it's very pigmented!

The second row has great pigmentation and is easy to work with!

The third row was better than the first but still a little dry and patchy! But the black makes up for it, as it is a VERY pigmented, smooth, matte black!

The next is a small surprise but I'm very pleased with it! This is the Little Black Beautybook Volume 1! This little one has 48 shadows! 48 shadows for $2.50?!?!?!?!?! SCORE!!!!! This palette is mostly neutral but that's okay with me! It has a lot of nice light shades for highlighting or days when I don't feel edgy! 

The next 2 pictures are purely for size reference!

I did some random swatches because 48 shadows is a lot to swatch!

As you can see they're pigmented and shimmery, two things that make me smile! :)

Happy Wallet Kisses

Tryna' Make Me Go To Rehab, I Say No, No, No!

It's safe to say that I'm officially addicted to Pretty Addictions' products! I've been using the products just about every day and keep plotting on ordering more! I've spent more imaginary money on her site than I've spent in a while! (Imaginary money: When you look at websites and say I'm gonna buy that knowing you're broke! hahaha ) 

I present my most recent purchases! :)

Sidenote: The clamshell at the bottom did not come like that the little guy below that must've been mad at mommy decided to chew on Coral Reefer! :( Didn't make a very happy mommy!

Back to our scheduled program!

So I bought 2 5gram jars:

Pretty Addictions started a new deal where if you order $15 worth that you get a 5gram jar for free.

That week it was Norma Jean.

I also have a 5gram jar of Silver Screen.

And because Kas is amazing I have a sample of her new red blush Moulin Rouge!!

These shadows are amazing and pigmented! They last all day over primer, even when I'm at work. I'm a waitress so I'm constantly moving! I get tons of compliments on my eyes when I wear my Pretty Addictions shadows! Kas the owner and creator of Pretty Addictions has amazing customer service and is speedy to take care of any issues! I will continue to order from her!
