NOTD: Friday April 10 2009

My nails on Friday! I used the following two polishes: Revlon Glimmer Gloss in Strawberry Sizzle and Pure Ice in Oh Baby!

Two coats of each. Love of lovely shimmers. The SS has pink and purple (almost blue) shimmer and the OB! has kind of an iridescent green shimmer.

Up real close so you can see all the shimmers!

They are both sheers, so, of course, you can there is still a very distinct VPL.

Also, I broke my nails today, so they are much shorter now :-(

NOTD: Wednesday April 8 2009

This was so much fun and super easy to do. I just kept my purple mani from yesterday, and applied Icing's Marine Blue (green if you ask me) as french tips and polka dots.


This last picture, the color is off. A little blue-y. I was trying to get the color just right and went a little overboard. Oh well.

NOTD and FOTD: Tuesday April 7 2009

So, I didn't really think my FOTD deserved it's own post, but I wanted to post a pic anyway. I thought my skin looked particularly good today. Seriously, I am loving Everyday Minerals. So. Freaking. Much. Lovely. The lipstick is WnW #502A. It's a rosy mauve with gold shimmer. I have to say, for only costing $.99 I am loving WnW lipsticks!!!



Onto the nails. Well, I tried my new Maybelline Polish in Blushing Bride. There's nothing blushing about this color. This is two coats and still completely sheer. It would be good for a natural looking nail or a base for a French or American mani.
So, I didn't want to leave it at that, so I tossed this on top: a nameless Claire's purple neon that came in a set of five (including blue, orange, green, and yellow). This color is the most opaque out of all of them. This is three coats. This color is unbelievably fun! Like most neons, it dries matte, a finish I am growing to enjoy very much.

Review: L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

Claim(from L'Oreal Paris):

Get the look of salon lash extensions with the new Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara! This new lash extension effect mascara visibly lengthens your lashes up to an astonishing 80%.

Step 1: Ultra nourishing base coat infused with Ceramide R and D-Panthenol protects and strengthens lashes creating the

Step 2: Ultra-lengthening tube top coat sets to form lash-extending beauty tubes that visibly lengthen lashes to amazing new heights. Beauty tubes will not run, clump, flake or smudge and will stay on all-day.

Step 3: Beauty tubes remove easily with just warm water – no makeup remover or rubbing required!

Price: 3 out of 5; it cost almost $11 in most drug stores. A bit steep, I think. Wait for a BOGO!
Packaging: 3.5 out of 5; I like the color and feel of the packaging, but it's nothing special.
Performance:

• Volumizing: 2 out of 5;Lengthening: 5 out of 5; Defining: 5 out of 5
• Clumping 5 out of 5; Flaking 5 out of 5; Smudging 5 out of 5
• Fulfilling claims 5 out of 5

What I think: This mascara is excellent for length, definition, and some serious staying power. I have a bad habit of rubbing my eyes and, naturally, when I do that my mascara just flakes right of and smudges all over my eye. Yuck. But today, I tested this mascara. I rubbed my eye and it didn't budge. I rubbed it again. Seriously? It did NOT move! Also, the length is pretty darn amazing. I was very impressed. However, it doesn't add any volume, and I'm a girl who desires long AND full lashes. I'm particular on the full lashes, because my lashes have a bit of length already.

Overall 4 out of 5; It's a really excellent mascara but, personally, I need some volume in my lashes.




Giveaway! I have two of these, so I'm going to give one away. Leave a comment with your email address. You must be a follower of my blog or a subscriber to my YouTube channel (if you are a subscriber on YouTube, leave your user name). I'll select someone in one week on Wednesday, April 15th. Or rather, Excel's random number generator will. I know I don't have a lot of followers, but I have two of these and I'm not going to use both of them. I'll also throw a few other things in there, not sure what yet.

NOTD: Monday April 6 2009

I was poking through some old polishes when I found this lovely lady. I do wish I had more pix, but all the others were terribly blurry. It's Maybelline Berry Boucle. A real pretty berry shimmery metallic kinda color. Did leave brush marks though. Oh well.
