EOTD: Using Sleek Safari Palette

Hi ya'll!

 

Just a quick eye that i did today for my lil trip to the mall, also i wanted to show you how i test to see which shades to together. its kinda silly way of doing it but i do it on my eye and cheeks like so:

byt he time i took this pic all the colors kinda melded into a cotton candy patch lol.

 

ANd here goes the eye look:

My hair is a mess,  hence the hat.

close up (scary i know, im sorry). BTW closeup shows all the lil mistakes, i hate it. I lined bottom lid with a angled brush and i was soo scared getting close to my eye. the other eye did much better.

 

 

And the colors i used:

 

Top row second to last color on the right, and bottom row last color on the right.

 

And thats all folks!

Bye~

I got my Sleek Palettes!

Just a quick Post before i go to bed since i was soo happy when i got home and found a lil package :)

 

 

Yayy! got my Sleek palettes (obviously, look @ the post title silly. Oh yeahhh... :P)

 

I bought both the Storm and Safari palettes, yes there are same/similar colors in both palettes but since i am a repetitive person i can't help but buy the same shades but with slight variations. (btw there is a freaking thunder storm, lots of lightning and i am on my laptop by the window....i'm freaking crazy). I love all the colors, they look soo good in person. Thank you Retail_therapy for putting these palettes on my radar, you're the best! :)

 

Holly was great, she sent the products out right away and they were well packaged. Definitely will frequent her site as it was a good experience all around. If you are looking for these palettes purchase from her! her site is here

 

Okay, i'm getting away from the window before i get struck. Have a goodnight (day for some of you) ladies!

China Glaze - Sexy in the City

Quick Nail look with my new China Glaze polish. I love this shade! And i decided to do a Zebra nail a la Necole Bitchie style (she is a blogger, but i lover her tweets) follow her here. She did the zebra look first so i have to give her credit

 

This is my first time doing a zebra print on my nails, i think i did a good job if i say so myself :).

China Glaze Nail polish Haul, plus MAC Haul swatches

Obviously i have lost my marbles and just gone retail therapy crazy. Alot of it is due to stress at work and my needing a stress relief which of course lead to my shopping like no one's business. I have to say though, the damage from this nail polish haul is not as bad as one would think, i got all these polishes for about $48 which is a great deal (or so i tell myself). Also i have to credit 2 onsugar lovelies: CCee and Retail_therapy for their nail polish posts and swatches on China Glaze which caused me to want damn near every color that they produce. Their posts are great visual references so thanks ladies!

 

9 China Glaze polishes total + one from some random brand. ok so not like a crazy amount of polish but its not a small haul by any means!

 

Summer Rain, Moonlight, Spontaneous, Reggae to Riches

 

Caribbean Tempation, Rich & Famous, Turned Up Turqouise, Sexy in the City, For Audrey, Stripe Rite - Black

And here are the swatches from my MAC haul (here) I wanted to show them in natural light but of course my crappy cam doesnt catch the true beauty of the colors.

Paintpot - Indianwood, a lovely bronzy/neutral color

 

Sumptous Olive

 

Humid

 

Electric Eel

 

Deep Truth (i literally dabbed my finger one time on it so the color is faint on my finger)

 

I will do some swatches of the nail polish for you guys a little later in the week. I am going to spend the weekend playing with all my new products, and i actually have a few more items to post but i am kinda embarassed at all the stuff i bought so i am going to a seperate haul post as those items alittle later.

Ta Ta for now.

I got a package :)

i will play with the colors alittle later and do some swatches but i was soo happy to come home and find a little MAC box waiting for me i had to share :)

Mineralize quad in Natural Flare, Paintpot in Indianwood, refill pans left to right: deep truth, electric eel, humid, sumptous olive

Travel packing list

Hey girls!

 

My cousin invited me to come visit next month, it's been 10 years since i've seen her. My how time flies! We haven't actually finalized plans so i am not sure how long i will be staying with her but being the freak that i am i like to create lists in advance so i am figuring what i will take with me. Now she lives in Tennessee and she said that for them 90 degrees is not so bad o.0 so i am anticipating alot of heat and possible humidity. I've broken my list down into three parts: Beauty items, clothing, tech stuff. I'm sure i'll be revising my list a couple of times as i want to travel with one carry-on bag and i tend to normally overpack, but this is the initial list:

 

My Beauty list

bar soap ( one less liquid!)
dove facial cloths (again, less liquid whoohoo!)
deodorant
Baby lotion (this can double as facial moisturizer)
comb
hair accessories (ties, headband, clips, scarf)
hair oil
shampoo & cond
lip balm
tooth brush & paste

Mascara and lipgloss, maybe eyeshadow

Clothes

3 T shirts/shirts

cardigan

2 capris

1 skirt

2 sun dresses

PJ's

socks

underwear + bras

belt

Flats

flip flops

Jewelry

Tech

phone + charger
laptop + charger
cam + charger

Please leave me a comment below if i forgot any essentials or if you can think of anything i will not need. I am thinking of visiting for a weekend or 3 days so i really wont need alot.
