NOTD: Revlon Seductive

September 30, 2013

My NOTD is a new shade from Revlon and it's from the Evening Opulence Collection. This is Revlon Seductive and there are 3 other nail shades in the collection as well. It's definitely one of my favorites right now to wear since Fall is finally here. It doesn't feel like Fall here just yet, but soon enough it will be cold, sweaters, pumpkin everything, and dark polish so this is perfect.

Sigma Beauty Creme de Couture Eye Shadow Palette - Swatches and Review

September 24, 2013

When I heard Sigma was going to come out with a Macaron inspired makeup collection, I knew I just had to get something from it. I ended up buying the eye shadow palette and I am please with what it came with. There are 16 different shades and all of them are matte finish. This excited me even more since I don't own a lot of bright matte shadows so this is something fun to have. See more pics and swatches below!

NOTD: China Glaze Queen B

September 22, 2013

Today's NOTD is China Glaze Queen B from the new Autumn Nights Fall Collection. This color was quite difficult to capture. My camera kept wanting to turn this more blue (as you can kind of see in the swatch picture). But in real life, it's more purple like a dark violet.

I only used two coats and it was enough. There are some dupe colors of this, but since I don't own anything like this color, so I love it. It will definitely be worn a lot for Fall.

NOTD: FingerPaints Limited Edition Bare No Secrets

September 19, 2013


Today I have a NOTD post and it's featuring a limited edition FingerPaints nail polish. This one is from the A Pair Affair collection that was created by a fellow blogger Michelle from All Lacquered Up. I had to order this shade online from Sally Beauty because I couldn't find it anywhere in the stores. 

There are 6 shades in the collection and this one is Bare No Secrets. I love this color when I just want a simple mani but the shimmer makes it pop a bit more. Definitely a great color for Fall. I only had to use two coats and it looked great. 

Let me know what you think!

Maybelline Limited Edition Color Sensational High Shine Lip Gloss in Purple Royale - Review

September 10, 2013

I was in shock when I went to Walmart and I found something new in the makeup section. My Walmart hardly ever has anything new (makeup related), so I was excited to see some of the new Maybelline Fall collections. I was drawn into this lip gloss called Purple Royale. I wondered how pigmented it could actually be so I bought it. Read on to see a swatch and more!

NOTD: Seche Nail Lacquer in Beloved

September 9, 2013

Today I have a NOTD post of Seche Nail Lacquer in Beloved. I had a feeling before I tried this, that I was going to love it. And I did! This nail lacquer is opaque and I only needed two coats. Drying time was so quick as well. 

These polishes from Seche are supposed to be one quick coat. You can do one coat, but I found that I could slightly still see my nails under which is why I used two coats. This is the kind of nail polish where you can't really make a mistake. It's fool proof because of how pigmented and how quickly it dries.
