This is a green and silver look I did to see if I'd like it for around the holidays. I think I need a softer silver, but I love this green! I also love the red lips I paired up with it.

I found this nail polish brand when I was looking online at swatches and fell in love, so I had to order some. They're from New Zealand and I could only find a seller on ebay that sells them.
They're gorgeous. They finally arrived yesterday (New Year's Eve), but I didn't have time to play with them until today. I'm mesmerized by their beauty.

Saturday Silver Eyes
I went to a party on Saturday night and I wanted silver eyes, so I played around with colors until I got it just right. I loved Fume, as Fume was perfect for the base eye color, but I had trouble getting my outer vee and crease to look just right. I started with Drama Queen Silver, then I added Smokescreen, and then I tried BlackPlanet. Between those three shades I was finally happy with the results.

My hair was cut and colored yesterday. I used this photo as my inspiration for color placement.


I chose a rich dark brown for the majority of my color, and purple for underneath. The color would have been more vibrant if I'd chosen a burgundy or pink, but I w

I've been using Sulfate Free Shampoos and Conditioners for close to 4 years now and I love them. I'd been using Tigi's the S Factor in Color Savvy (shampoo and conditioner) for close to 2 years and I just switched to Tigi's Bedhead Superstar Volumizing (shampoo and conditioner). I think they're wonderful, and they're especially easy on color treated hair. It helps the color to last longer if you're using a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner.
Has anyone else tried them? Do you like them?

I was recently on itsaglamthing and saw a stand for BlingStrands. I was intrigued, but immediately thought of colored hair mascara.... ahh!! But this little hair accessory is super cute! I checked out their website and it was pretty legit. Blingstrands are sold in a pack of 24 for $13. I thought they would be really cute for a prom, or fun event, or just a night out with the girls. They are easy to put in and stay for 4 weeks. You can watch how to apply your Blingstrands on Youtube or Itsaglamthing
I just recently got introduced to Fyrinnae Cosmetics and I've found them to be amazing! Their colors are multi-dimensional and complex, and last all day.
Here are the eye shadow samples and lippies that I got
Sorceress - Charcoal, nearly black shadow that with a shimmer that changes from a brilliant aqua to rose to lavender, depending on the light.
Dark Magik - shimmery deep metallic red with blue sparkle. Turns slightly coppery when applied we
I recently watched one of the lovely xSparkage's video tutorials, and decided to try a look in a similar style. Her tutorials are great, if you've never seen one. I don't think I've tried anything like cutting the crease before, so I'm not sure if this counts for that or not.
For the most part for this look, I played with very matte shades. I normally suck with mattes so don't use them, but Fyrinnae's and Aromaleigh's mattes blended
So I have just started wearing eye shadow lately and I need some help, because most of the time I just use mascara and some eye liner but I just started exploring. After putting on various colors on various areas on my lid (outer corners, crease, lid, and brow) at the end of the day I feel very oily. And I have never had a problem with oily skin before. So I have tried cover girl, maybelline, and most drug store brands but the same thing keeps h

Does anyone still use masques? I just got a masque by Hemloq from a friend and it got me thinking i don't remember the last time i used a masque.
This one is so nice and it smells so good that I just might have to start using a masque again.
Just curious does anyone use a masque on a regular basis?

My cuticles grow seriously super fast so I always have to trim them. I discovered Cuticle oil with shea butter by Dazzle Dry cosmetics and it is a life saver! It has botanical oils of grape seed, avocado and canola, shea butter and essential oils of lavender and orange. It smells amazing and works like a charm!
