What I Wore: Little Black Dress & Red Platform Pumps

This is what I wore to my friends party on Saturday night. I love this dress.  Reminds me of my fashion idol, Victoria Beckham.  I did my makeup in 10 minutes that night.  The power of an MUA .:LOL:.

The dress is from BeBe

The shoes are from Steve Madden – the name is Toppazz. I actually had them in the Blush color 1st.  I really wanted them in Purple, but they were sold out at the stores I went to.  I was satisfied with what the red looked like. I also like the Caryssa Platform they have.

Hope you like! Please leave comments. Thank you!

Depotting Eyeshadows for Back-to-MAC

I just de-potted 8 of my MAC eyeshadows so I can take them & trade them in for something (lipstick, lip glass or an eyeshadow).  ***Any suggestions guys?***

Here’s what my palette looks like now (one is missing). The first pic is with flash. The second pic is without flash.

Don’t forget that if you have 6 MAC cases you are able to trade them in for something.  It’s best to go to a MAC boutique instead of inside of a department store because the boutique gives you more options, whereas the department store counters I believe only allow you to trade for a lipstick.

De-potting my MAC eyeshadows is good to me because it saves a ton of space in my kit.  Even if you don’t have a kit, and you just do makeup on yourself, it will save you tons of space at home.

NOTW: OPI’s Who The Shrek Are You & New Polishes Bought

I went to Ricky’s yesterday to pick up some stuff for my kit (q-tips & Ben Nye’s Final Seal).  Low & behold, Ricky’s had the whole OPI Shrek collection.  I contemplated getting the entire collection since the colors are nice. Although the store clerks offer to give me a good discount on all of the polishes if I bought them all was tempting, I figured it would be a waste since I already own colors similar or are the same as the ones in this new collection. I ended up buying just one, which he still gave me a discount on.

Here’s what Who the Shrek Are You looks like

What it looks like on my hands

No Flash

It’s a nice color. I don’t like the consistency of the polish. It’s too streaky when applying I had to use 3 coats when I polished my nails.

I also picked up these polishes from this nail supply wholesaler (NailMax International 6000 Fort Hamilton & 60th st brooklyn) by my job.  Essie is $4 & OPI is $6
