Influenster Rimmel Brand Badge Winner's Package

Hi guys!

I just wanted to do a quick post on a fun little box that showed up at my door last week! As you probably know I participate in with Influenster.com for surverys and reviews, I really enjoy getting the boxes and reviewing the products that they send.  In November I received the Rose VoxBox and inside I got to try the new Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara, in return for my reviews and participation I qualified as a Brand Badge Winner so they sent me a few of Rimmel's latest goodies! Enjoy!

Nail of the Day OPI Gwen Stefani Collection "Hey Baby"

Today's Nail of they Day is from the OPI Gwen Stefani collection and is named "Hey Baby"! This pink creme shade immediately grabbed my attention because it's just to so beautiful.  I can see myself wearing this a ton on my fingers and toes this Summer!  I applied this with 2 seemingly flawless coats and had no problems with staining when I removed it.

Ipsy Bag February 2014 "The Look of Love"

Happy Tuesday!

This month's Ipsy bag theme is "The Look of Love" and I must say that I really am excited to try all of the products.  I'm already a fan of Zoya and have swatches of "Odette" here and I own a kit, mascara, and eyeshadow trio from a December Ipsy bag.  The City Color blush looks so pretty and I can't wait to use it, the name says its matte but it still has a little bit of sheen to it.  The Nume Renewal Mask is perfect for me this month as my skin is waging an all out war on me.  I've never tried anything from Tini Beauty but I do love cream shadows and "" is just the prettiest bronze color and I can see myself wearing it a ton over the Summer. Enjoy!

My bag this month:
POP Beauty Plump Pout Mini "Peony Petal"
Zoya Nail Polish "Odette"
City Color Be Matte Blush "Fresh Melon"
Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base In One "Spiced Rum"
Nume Intense Renewal Mask

Maybelline Spring 2014 Dare to Go Nude

Welcome to my obsession with makeup that's come to be known as "My Collection".  Over the past few years I have created a love for Maybelline Limited Edition collections and finding the new products as soon as they come out as you can see here and here.  The Dare to Be Nude collection was no exception to this as I said in this post and after about a week of not finding any displays I had given up.  I just happened to stop in a CVS one morning when the clerk was actually putting together the brand new Dare to Be Nude display so I spent some time shopping around then came back and picked up a few things.  I still want 1 more of the quads and maybe one more the Color Tattoos but for now I'm pretty happy with the items I picked up.  I have about 7 of these quads that I've collected because they are just that great; probably my favorite finish when it comes to eyeshadows and great pigment for the drugstore. Enjoy!

Nail of the Day Formula X by Sephora "Blazing"

Hey Friends!  Friday's Nail of the Day is Formula X by Sephora in "Blazing" and this is my first purchase from the new line.  I wanted to try Infinite but once I saw that shade in person I didn't like it as much, I will probably still try that shade but I'm a sucker for deep, rich, complex reds as you can see here, here, and here!  I have this shade in so many different brands but I always buy it over and over again, so much that I've stopped even bargaining with myself when finding a new one! When removing it I had a little trouble with my cuticles and fingertips and actually had to wait a few days before the skin of my nails would return to normal color.  The formula was a little on the thick side but the color was just so pretty!

Nail of the Day Essie "First Timer"

Happy Wednesday!  Today's Nail of the Day is Essie's First Timer and this was my first time using it since buying it over the Summer.  I really love Green shades all year round and this was definitely a Fall mood lifter for me! Essie describes this shade as a newbie fresh green and I would agree, this is with 2 coats and it applied flawlessly.  Compared to Zoya's "Josie" I would say this is a touch more of a pastel shade. I had no problems removing it and I'm excited to use this again as a pedicure!

New at the Drugstore February CVS Haul

Today I'm sharing my purchases from my most recent trip to the drugstore.  I had tons of fun walking around and checking out all of the new collections from the drugstore brands and actually made a list of my "wants".  On this trip I picked up 4 items from my list because Physicians Formula was 40% off and I had a coupon as well as Milani was Buy One Get One 50% off and I also had a coupon for that brand.  After seeing NouveaCheap's blog post on the new Limited Edition Maybelline "Dare to Go Nude" I've been keeping my eyes peeled and I'm also busting at the seems to try out the new NYX blushes and eyeshadow sticks! Below are the swatches and pictures of everything I picked up, Enjoy!

Nail of the Day Essie After School Boy Blazer & Hors D'oeuvres

The Nail of the Day today is Essie's "After School Boy Blazer" with an Essie "Hors D'oeuvres" accent nail.  I absolutely love deep navy blue as a nail polish but sometimes I feel it can be harsh so I like to pair it up with a glitter accent nail.  This shade had a great application as my Essie's usually do and I only applied 2 coats for good measure.  I would say this is a deeper navy than Essie's "Bobbing for Baubles" but in it's own way different.  Surprisingly it wasn't difficult to remove at the end of my manicure, I can't wait to use this one again!

Nail of the Day Nicka K "Classic Taupe"

Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing swatches from a Nicka K polish named: Classic Taupe, that I received in my December Ipsy bag f To be honest I wasn't too impressed with the shade just from looking at it in the bottle but I fell in love once I applied it.  These pictures are with 2 coats and it was completely opaque, it shows up as an incredibly rich brown-gray and I can't wait to wear it again.  I wore Classic Taupe with CND's Stickey Base Coat and Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat for a week straight with very minimal tip wear; I honestly only changed it because I was ready for a shade change.  I'm actually thinking of adding more Nicka K to my collection just because this one impressed me so much. Enjoy!

Nail of the Day OPI Gwen Stefani Collection "Over & Over A-Gwen"

Today's Nail of the Day is a red hot polish from the OPI for Gwen Stefani collection called "Over & Over A-Gwen".  When I saw the new collection I knew I had to have this one, I'm always on a search for a rich and bright red that just wows me! This one was a little bit deeper than in the bottle but it was still gorgeous! The shade looks very similar to "Red Lights Ahead...Where?" in the bottle but "RLAW" is much more orange based and "Off With Her Red!" is a brighter red as well. I applied 2 coats and a top coat and had no problems as I usually don't with OPI polishes however the while I was removing it I noticed a little red staining on my cuticles.

My favorite Highlighting tool

Happy Friday Friends,

I'd like to share my new favorite brush for applying highlighter. This is the EcoTools Deluxe Fan Brush and I really have enjoyed adding this to my everyday makeup routine of putting highlight on the bridge of my nose, brow bone, and upper cheek area.  I don't own any brushes to apply highlighter so this works perfectly and seems to apply the perfect amount.  The brush is super soft and really good quality as compared to my Sigma, Real Techniques, or Sedona Lace brushes. Do you have any brush favorites or must haves? Check back later this week for a post on the highlighters in my collection!

Nail of the Day Zoya "Areej"

Nail of the Day today is Zoya Areej, I picked this up during the Earth Day exchange special that Zoya runs each year.  I went back and forth on this shade for a while because it was so similar to a color that I already own. The shade is very similar to Zoya "Reagan" but more pink and lighter in color. As always with Zoya, my two coat application was a breeze and removal was the same with Zoya Remove Plus+.

Nail of the Day CoverGirl "Grapevine"

Today's Nail of the Day: Covergirl's Grapevine is one that I purchased well over a year ago, sometimes I get obsessed with a collection and have to buy as many shades as possible.  That is exactly what happened with the Covergirl Outlast Nail Gloss polishes, I fell in love with the formula and bought quite a few and have a lot of untrieds.  This shade is so pretty in the bottle and equally pretty on the nail with two coats.  This polish is supposed to have a base coat, polish, and top coat all in one as well as lasting 7 days; I've never had it last 7 but 5 days is the usual length.  The color is similar to Zoya "Mason" but much more purple toned.  Enjoy!

Nail of the Day OPI Mariah Carey Collection "In My Santa Suit"

I have made no secret or even tried to hide my unexplainable love for rich, red, & slightly metallic red polishes; especially from OPI (they seem to do it best!).  When I saw the OPI Mariah Carey collection "In My Santa Suit" it was only a matter of time! As soon as I got this one home I put it on and it instantly wow'ed me with the brilliance of the red, I'm not so much a sucker a normal red but the shades with this special sheen get me every time.  It applied well in 2 coats with a shine that I couldn't take my eyes off of and I wore it for about a week minimal tip wear using my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat.  This color rivals My favorite red of all time Zoya "Elisa" but Elisa is a shade or 2 deeper.
