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 :).
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 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
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.
