NOTW: I Love the Limelight!

May 6, 2010 by Kim S. / blog, notw, Product Swatches / 2 Comments

This is Funky Limelight by Essie. I picked this up at a nail supply wholesaler for $4 (mentioned in this post). I was scared this color wouldn’t look well on me. I actually like it. Love it maybe. I chose to paint my nails & toes this color since I will be in Sunny Florida for the weekend (quick little getaway) with my hubby!

What do you think of this color?

Do you have specific colors you like to wear when you go away?

Tutorial: Trina on the Cover of Kontrol Magazine

I found these pictures Trina did for Kontrol Magazine on Bossip. Trina almost always has a neutral look, and I liked this one, so I figured why not do a tutorial.

My NYX Bundle of Joy Sale Haul (Picture Heavy)

May 4, 2010 by Kim S. / blog, Hauls / 4 Comments

On April 22,2010 I ordered four of the bundles from the NYX Bundle of Joy Sale (ended May 3, 2010). I really wouldn’t have suggested this sale to “regular” people. It’s a lot of stuff. If you are not an MUA, you really do not need all of that makeup. Anyway, so today all of my stuff came!!! I was excited. I love to received packages (hint if you ever want to get me something lol).

Here’s what I got…. It’s A LOT!

I now have a total of 47 lipsticks which I will de-pot and put into a palette. Of course I will show you the end result if you’re interested.
