Massive Binge Haul (lotsa pics)

Happy New Year!!!! (Now i have to decide am i going to say two thousand and ten or twenty ten? twenty ten sounds much chicer i think.)

So for my birthday and xmas gift to myself i went on a massive retail therapy binge. I have to say after this i'm done for this month, and February, maybe for the next 6 months! seriously i went waay overboard. My one consolation is i bought some prizes for my giveaway. YES i will join in the giveaway fun and host my own small, small giveaway :) I actually wanted to do it in December as a xmas giveaway but Reyenal was having her giveaway so i decided to wait. I am thinking of making this a Valentines giveaway and having a little competition, i havent decided yet but i will soon.

So i bought a bunch of stuff from different places but i figured i would just do 2 posts, instead of a bunch of little ones. It's winter time and when i'm cold i am more lazy then usual lol.

So here goes:

1. Ecotools Body loofah, 2. Cutex nail polish remover, 3. Luxor Rubber Rods, 4. Revlon polish -No Shrinking Violet, 5. Toe dividers, 6. Wet N Wild Idol Eyes Cream Shadow Pencil - Envy & Distress, 7. NYX Shadows - Golden, Golden Dune, 8. NYX Jumbo Pencils - Gold & Dark Brown

EOTD - Kiwi Strawberry

Ladies, i apologize for my extreme laziness in only doing one eye but my nephew knocked over my eye makeup remover and i didn't get a chance to buy a new one yet so me being the pure lazy devil that i am, i only did one eye becuase its going to take me a while to soak off the waterproof mascara without makeup remover.

 

This is the look that i was going for (i found this pic on google btw, i dont kno who it is but for some reason i think this is a sugar user...she looks soo familiar.):

 

Ok and here's my attempt at mimicking the look:

 

Eyeshadows:

I used my Nyx products: Keylime for the green, and Sunnyday for the pink.

Physicians Formula: Baked sands Trio - the lightest shade for highlight but it was too light so i went over the top of it with the bronzey color to tone it down

Eyeliner:

L'oreal Lineur Intense felt tip liquid liner in Mineral grey

Mascara:

L'oreal Lashout in Black (waterproof)

Nyx Black Label Lipstick

I totally forgot that i bought a couple of lipsticks when i got my haul. I think that also tells you that i was not happy with the lipsticks after i swatched and tried them on. Basically i am just not a lipstick person, i think they can make me look older, and i am trying to stay as young as possible! lol. Don't get me wrong, there are people who seem to make the right lipstick choices so the lipstick compliments them (retailtherapy im talking about you! ^_^) and just enhances their look but for me i jus feel silly wearing them. Well enough of that, on to the pictures!

cute goth-like packaging

 

these are the 2 colors i got.I was going for brown shades that were "neutralish"

 

btw i think i accidentally switched the caps on the lipstick and then put the wrong shades in the box so the one on the left i THINK is really walnut not pecan. And the swatches on the site were obviously off because these colors were darker in person. ggrr! but that was still fine, they dont seem too dark, and they look brown right?

with flash

 

this is Walnut i believe. It was the darker of the 2. Looks alil red/pink toned when its on.

 

And this is pecan. More pink tone then brown.

 

So thats it. At least i didn't spend alot of money on these, they were $2 or $4 i believe plus i got the 25% discount so all in all i'm not too upset. I am going to try find someone to give them too as i honestly won't be using them again. If anybody wants them let me know (direct message me). And don't worry about it being unsanitiary, the trick is that you cut off the top part so you don't use any part that i've used.

Ciao for now ladies!

 

 

 

 

EOTD - Nyx Fuschia and Chaotic

So i finally got around to playing with my Nyx shadows and i came up with the eye below.

 

 

Since the pink was so bright i decided to temper it with the dark blue to bring it down a level. I'm sure that if i had primed my eye beforehand the colors would have shown up more vibrantly but i wanted to see if the look could be successful without foundation and primer as i'm always rushing in the morning and wouldnt have time for a whole routine.

 

Products used:

Nyx Chaotic (Blue) - Crease

Nyx Fuschia (pinkish purple?) - Lid

Nyx Oro (golden chrome) - Highlight under brow

L'oreal Lashout mascara - Black (waterproof)
