Shrek Continued...

Last year OPI came out with the Shrek collection to promote Shrek III. I had bought the little minis, but my favorite Whats With The Cattitude? was unusable. So i was in despair because i hadn't seen that one around in a while because it was a limited edition line, and i wanted to get it before the Pirates Collection came out. Somehow it had popped up at Ulta so i grabbed it along with Ogre The Top Blue, and Black Satin which was a new release. Ogre The Top Blue is a really bright cobalt blue that is perfect for summer, i love it, one of the most unique colors from the collection. Black Satin is like a mix between Chanel Steel and Black Pearl, not at all like their Black Satin. Its a steely gunmetal grey with a tinge of green, kinda of metallic sparkle finish.

Butter!!!:D

The drought is over!!! i'm finally motivated and unashamed of my love of makeup and my ever growing ambitiously embarrassing collection. And i just came on to exclaim the news, Butter London Nail polish is officially being sold at Ulta!!!!! Previously this brand has been unattainable to us sad Americans:( But not anymore!! I just got the magazine in the mail and saw it in there so i haven't gone up there to collect as of yet. And im still waiting for Pirates of the Carabbean to come out! so many nail polishes, so little time! My next post will be on what i've collected and has so far been unreported.

Cherries in the Snow:)

i've been looking for a perfect hot fuchsia, i dunno what inspired me, but i've been on the hunt for hot pink lips. I tried Chanel, and I've tried Dior, but they were just too sheer, i wanted something loud and opaque. Then i remembered, hidden away in a little drawer, i had Revlon's Cherries in the Snow. It same out really pink in the picture i dont know why, but its more purple toned. And it stays on great without over drying and its true to color, which is something to say for Revlon. I've tried their reds and they're crap. I would try mac, but mac lippies dry out my lips and make them peel.

NOTD: Suzi Says Feng-Shui, i thought i wouldn't like this color. I grabbed it for $.99 at JCPennys. But thank you Snowdrop85 for inspiring me to venture on to trying this color, it was just what i needed.... lately if been wearing light pinks and grays and i was wanting something more vibrant. Surprisingly pleased:)

Happy Haulidays!!!:D

My Christmas goodies consist mostly of Chanel, its becoming quite an obsession. I got the Holiday quad which i find pretty difficult to work with and the colors not very complimenting for my yellow undertone and dark hair. The majority of the colors have a pinkiness to them and its pretty annoying. Next i got the Tweed Fuchsia, which is absolutely a must-have, its breath taking. I thought it would be too bright on me, but its not. And its buildable. It also doubles as a highlighter and photographs beautifully. The next two items are from the Chanel summer collection and are limited edition. I hunted around and found them at some stores lol! Bondi Lipstick, and Nouvelle Vague Nail Polish yay!!! Im soo glad i didn't have to order them off ebay!! Next i wanted a matte bronzer and i've finally fell in love with Hoola. During the summer its too light, and i like a little shimmer. But right now its perfect. Got Flowerbomb, a lil baby w a large refill, just because i can be a little fickle with fragrance. A T3 curling iron which i am loving, its helping tame my wild mane which is a work in progress. And lastly found at a CCO, Frankly Fresh from the Mac Liberty of London collection. I really LOVE the consistency of the other two i have which are English Accents and Perennial High Style. They are really creamy with no sparkle. This one is creamy, but it has a shimmer to it so its a bit stickier and dryer consistency, but i still love the warm nudey color.

*Snow Princess*:D

Ebay is my best friend, and yet my worst enemy. Perusing along, the words Snow Princess caught my eye. The description holds for me fond memories of when i was little and was in the Nutcracker ballet for a few Christmases. The words together of Snow Princess form a magical correlation that sends my mind into fantasy land, and if there is a Snow Princess this is the nail polish that would imbibe her. Its silly really, but i do think that makeup and fantasy go hand in hand. With makeup you're altering the appearance of something, and providing an illusion that distorts reality. Anyways... i cant wait to try all the colors, i love essie mini sets. The winter collection should be next on my list:)
From left to right: Pink Glove Service, Guchi Muchi Puchi, Ballet Slippers, & Blanc.

NOTD: Chanel Coromandel, love it. When i make a top 10 this makes the list.
