Thirsty? - (FrOTW)

How about some H2O? Hello ladies.... I decided to diverge from my usual spicy florals and delve into something lighter and fresher for summer. Tous H2O won me over. I'm not a huge fan of fresh scents they kinda make me nauseous, and the biggest seller of course Light Blue by D&G i can't stand. It smells like cleaner to me.. gag! I really don't get why everyone likes it. Tous H2O is soo much lighter and fresher. It features top notes of organic lemon, organic lavender, rose, jasmine, mandarin, and ginger, as well as base notes of amber, cedar, and Australian sandalwood. The result is a fragrance that's clean and fresh, sparkling and invigorating. For me, the citrus notes have the biggest impact here, since they add to the watery freshness of the scent. Not to mention the bottle is adorable!! Its in the shape of a multi-faceted rain drop. It is also termed an Ecochic fragrance- some of the proceeds go to purify water in ailing countries, and the bottle itself is 100% biodegradable. PS- i advise you not to drink this;)

FOTD - Bella Notte

Hello ladies... well i figured i'd just get this one out of the way:) Bella Swan's makeup in Twilight. I loved her makeup in the movie so i started researching on the internet who her makeup artist was and what products she used. This was my first bite of the addict apple. I learned it was a Mac makeup artist and she used Mac Blot Powder in Light, Mac e/s Blanc Type, Flute, and Wedge, Benefit Badgal WP Mascara, Benefit l/s Good-to-go. But that was the extent of the information... so the rest im playing by ear from watching the movie. Her skin is very light and matte with some contouring and sutle highlight. I used Nars Sheer Glow foundation, Mac e/s Wedge to contour and Benefit High Beam to highlight my cheek bones. On my cheeks i very lightly put Mac blush Angel. My eyes: Blanc Type all over the lid, Wedge in the crease, Phloof to highlight browbone. Then to line my eyes i used a silvery e/s color Gorgeous l/e. It really helps to brighten and draw your attention to the eyes, but not too sparkley just a little shimmer. I didn't have Bad Gal lash so i used Clinique High Impact mascara. You don't really want a volumizing mascara you want it to look natural. Then on my lips i used Good-to-go. Not too bad i think:)

May Favorites

EOS Shave cream - best shave cream i have ever used. Mac - e/s Club. Bobbi Brown - Creamy Concealer, i cannot live without. Nars - Luster blush, and Luxor multiple. Korres- Lip butter in Jasmine. Angel perfume. Origins - Modern Friction. Sonya Kashuk - flat top brush. Essie - Lilacism. Clinique - Super rescue night moisturizer, i would definitely repurchase all of these items:)
OPI's - 'Rumple's Wiggin' it is exactly like Essie's 'Lilacism'. I actually have lilacism on my ring finger and you can't tell the difference.

OPI's 'Who the Shrek are You?' more like, What the Shrek was I thinking? Eww... gross lol!!

Angelic (FrOTW)

Its Friday ladies and yes i do have a fav fragrance of the week:) It is Thierry Mugler's Angel. It has no floral notes in it at all, which i really like- too much floral makes me nauseous. Sugar and spice and everything nice. The notes are - chocolate, marshmallow, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli - yumminess! Very different from the normal popular fragrances. You might think ohhh it sounds really sweet, but its not really. The sandalwood and patchouli tone it down and it makes a lovely cozy aroma. The bottles are soo pretty; they come in a variety of sizes and shapes, refillable/nonrefillable. The only downside is that it is on the pricey side. PS: I can totally relate to the Ice Queen pictured above... a nickname that emerged in school. I always thought it was funny. She's looks like she's alone in her icy cavern trying to recall a fading memory. Maybe happier times with a romantic friend, but subconsciously holding her bottle close to her chest.

Fiercely Fiona

Hello All.... I went out and purchased today the OPI Shrek-tacular mini set. This is the first OPI mini set I've ever bought, because its the first time i liked all the colors. I think this collection is soo cute, fun, and colorful- great for summer. Though i have to complain i am becoming less and less of a fan of OPI. I just don't like the quality of the colors anymore... i mean they have some really great ones, but they are few and far between. And the colors in the bottles can be very deceiving to what actually shows up on your nails. Now I have to say that these minis were extremely hard to work with. The application brush is sooo freaking tiny... Essie minis aren't as small. Another reason i like Essie better than OPI.

Fiercely Fiona - now for some reason i have been dying to paint my nails yellow. I have always hated yellow nail polish, but for some reason now i have the urge to wear bright colors. This wasn't exactly the yellow i was going for, but it is kinda interesting. I dunno how to describe this yellow lol...it's not banana, not sunshine, my guess would be lemongrass. It has a very slight green tinge. Who the Shrek Are You? - a fun grassy green. What's with the Cattitude? - a sky blue. And Rumple's Wiggin - a cool lavender. What i would have loved and I'm sure I'm not alone, but my fav character in Shrek is the Gingerbread Man, so it would have been awesome if they made a gingerbread colored nail polish. yes!

London Calling

I've found my new fav fragrance, i dunno how this is going to be ...lol it changes every week!! Ok, this week (FOTW) my love is Burberry London for women, i like the men's too but women's for me. I never liked it before, but now i guess scent like taste change over time. I think this might be the fragrance I've been in search for. Its sexy and sophisticated, it doesn't turn powdery or stale over time as it wears off. I just love it. Components: Clemintine, honeysuckle, English garden rose, Tiare flower, jasmine, peony, veil of musks, Indian sandalwood, and patchouli. Its kind of a soft spicy floral, a lot of different compontents, but it makes a complex multi-layered scent... "Celebrating the city of London and its distinct style, Burberry London was created for an elegant and naturally glamorous woman, and for a man that defines the modern English gentleman."
