While I Wait...

(im)patiently for my next mark. order of personal-business awesomeness, I want to share with you something very exciting!

In the early days of Summer I discovered Butter London Lacquers. It caught my eye because of the quirky jar and then I noticed all of the names relate back to Londontown, my home away from home! I've tried a couple, Lady Muck and Blagger, and I like that the colors aren't sheer at all. O.P.I. remains my favorite nail polish brand, but sometimes it's frustrating to pick a polish and it comes out so sheer you need a few too many coats.

Anyway, I was in ULTA and I spotted this color...Cheeky Chops, and it's not playing with that name! It's fricken yellow and so damn pretty! I tried it last night and I like the way it looks against my skin. I'm venturing out into this alleged blustery weather this weekend to get a manicure with it! It's my farewell, good riddance, won't miss you one bit, Summer, color!

Featured Product: Please Hold Eye Primer

          

It seems like ages ago I learned about the importance of a good base for your eyes when applying eye makeup. It’s a practice I’ve played around with over the years, but not one that ever became a regular habit.

First, I feel that the cost of eye makeup “primer” is outrageous! Second, I’ve found that alternatives such as a cream based shadow add too much color to the overall look. Finally, I’ve never really had an issue with eye makeup lasting on a regular day - 9 to 5, 8 to 6, 5 to 2(am) or however it breaks down. HOWEVER, There are times where my day might get extended. Maybe I suddenly have an appointment that made the day go longer, or I had some overtime hours to put in, or (and most important) I’m unexpectedly going out after my long day of work or class and need my makeup to last because I didn’t bring any to touch up with (that’s a completely different issue that I realize is a shame in and of itself). 

Lo and behold! mark. has a solution! The mark. Please Hold Eye Primer comes in two shades: Light to Medium and Medium to Dark, but in reality it applies virtually sheer. It definitely doesn’t sparkle like many competitor brands, which is nice; especially when one is going for a natural look. It’s light, not in the slightest bit greasy and only takes a finger swipe or two to get the job done. The best part is that it does what it’s supposed to do - extend the wear of your eye makeup! For only $8.00, I don’t know how ANYONE can find a complaint with that!

Pretty Things from Sephora

 
I got an email from Sephora today that they had a special gift for V.I.B's starting today with any $35 purchase. I don't need any more makeup or goodies, but I couldn't resist. I was going to be in the mall any way. $103 dollars later, including my sister's clinque cleanser stuff, two sets of Sephora blotting papers two try out (hey, they have two different scents and they were in those specialty bins by the register), and a bottle of Peter Thomas Roth Buffing Beads, I got my free gift!
It comes in a super, wicked cute box that makes me think of a top hat box. And I was pretty surprised at how much was stuffed inside.


1. Thanks from Sephora with a special shipping code for the month of August
2. Stila Coconut Crush lip & cheek stain
3. Phytolisse anti-frizz serum
4. Tokidoki Ciao Ciao rollerball eau de toillete
5. Ring My Bella eau de toillete
6. Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Mascara - Black
7. Nars Pro-Prime Pore Refining Primer
8. Philosophy Miracle Worker miraculous anti-aging moisturizer
9. Brazilian Peel - Professional strength glycolic acai anti-oxidant facial treatment. NGL, I probably won't touch this one.

9 gifts and a super cute box, but Sephora still won because I spent way more than $35. Regrets? Not a one!

O.P.I. Shatter Video

a sister and I played around with O.P.I. Shatter polish in White over O.P.I. polish in Dominant Jeans. Then I set the video to the song "Barbara Streisand".
