Revlon Super Lustrous in Blackberry

Burgundy is definitely my go-to color for cold weather. It just makes you look elegant in an instant. I've searched around a lot for lippies and I can now say I own enough red lippies for use daily for up to two years! I love them though so they will not go to waste. Well Burgundian lips and dark plum lips were my intentions but they sell out so quickly. I found the most awesome dark plum I will share later its by Sephora. But this Burgundy lippy by Revlon in blackberry is THE ONE at the moment. It's a creme lipstick and no gloss gives you a semi-matte look. I will present a complete look another day because at this time I'm due for a dinner reservation in thirty mins!! Hehe

Revlon cupid

Target has awesome sales. I caught their latest one on Revlon Top Speed polishes. I scored Cupid and Cloud for an awesome $2.27 each. Here's a swatch of Cupid two coats with no top coat. It does live up to it's claim of fast drying. Under 5 mins two coats manicure.

Revlon Colorstay in Bonsai

Beautiful green that givea off a near metallic smooth finish. After three fingers the application got a bit clumpy. I just fixe the lumps on the second coat no biggie. I am loving the wider square brushes that come in these bottles.

First pic is one coat. Second is two coats no top.

Adoptions today!!

After purchasing 11 more bottles today, I've realized I need to compile a list of my polish collection. Why? Because I have dbls and triples!! Lol I am open to trade because I would love for others to enjoy some of these fabulous colors. I am most anxious to try on Essie's Wicked. I've been slightly obsessed with burgundy hues. Here is a picture of the adopted polishes...

Lipstick Nailart

Lippies... Who doesnt love to wear lipstick at least once in their life? Well I for one love lipsticks, the bright the better! One of my favorites is Revlon Matte lipstick in Strawberry Suede. I was inspired by my lippy loves so here is my first attempt of lipstick Nailart. (items used: Essie in licorice and olé caliente, wet n' wild coloricon white, Kiss Nailart paint in pink glitter, and lastly art deco black striper)

This was not hard to create and took me less than 5 mins. No top coat used.

Swatched- Revlon Whimsical

Sheer but clever! This sheer polish reminds me of young romance. Light pink hex and round glitters, similar shaped light blue glitters and small round silver glitters floating in a sheer blue polish. It lives up to its name, whimsical. I love this polish I swatched two fingers. Had to do four coats. The brush is standard skinny, application was easy and smooth. The formula is not chunky. Each layer dried fast no bubbling. I love my bottle of whimsical!

How do you find the time?!

Okay, so I took a week off my office job to try to get things in order then I realized.... o m blob I haven't swatched even half of my polishes!! How do people swatch all their polishes when their stash is over 100+ bottles?! I did two swatches today and my fingers are dry. Also I feel guilty... I buy polishes because I love the color but I dont just swatch a whole hand for a post. Idk I am not a wasteful person and think I should wear the shade and show it off not just swipe it off after the pics are taken :(. I am posting pics of my "stash" and newbies. I am feeling so much pressure from looking/reading through some other blogs and seeing their swatch lists (some are so lengthy). I understand everyone likes to see and know about the polish well I want to see is it ok if I swatch a SINGLE nail? And describe in detail how I felt about the application? I will post more pics of my manis and steps as I go but the whole swatch and remove for pics really makes me frown to waste polish. Open to opinions pls let me know what you think.

Big Lots is no joke

So we were out of bottled water so I offered to go buy a pack.... hehehe. I haven't been to my local Big Lots in a while so I was like hmm I will go there and wander the aisles. Well I am so glad that I did. Now one way or another in a lifetime you will hear about a place called Ulta. I let it be known now....am not a FAN of Ulta. Why? Because I'm a Sephora wh*re....no I kid...somewhat. Lol (sigh) the inner jerk made it's way out people gees chill out. Anyways I believe if I can find the brand or item at my local CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, or even Big Lots then I shouldn't be paying the same price for the item at Ulta. The Ulta here is far from me it's in another city/county. Friends of mine's took me there thinking I'd be hooked because I am such a make up lover....wrong wrong wrong. I do love make up but at a decent price. I am such a coupon diva if you went shopping with me you might blush at the scenes that unfold. Well back to my original rant. Big Lots was like striking black gold aka oil for me today. I got the 24pk water I was seeking but I also found after much rummaging through a few dirty due to busted make up containers holding loose make up products some Revlon Matte lipsticks!!! I just checked Ulta (boooooo) and the colors I bought today are available on Ulta's site too but for $6.99 a tube... I had a wtf are u fffing kidding me moment. Well guess what? I got 2 tubes for $4 yes $2 each tube. Let me tell u these colors are fabulous. I got 001 Nude Attitude & 005 Strawberry Suede!! Love these names, I'm such a sucker for witty named products (btw OPI delivers that every time go read the names of their polishes). I'm ecstatic I got these matte colors for such a bargain...eeeek. Well I bugged the guy who has been in my life for a while but rankings fall short because he was demoted from being ______ now to guy in my life due to not completing tasks I ask of. But as soon as he unpacks my junk I will take pics of looks I do and upload more videos to Youtube :). Also I bought a pack of Epielle Green Tea Cleansing Tissues but am afraid to use them got these suckers for $1 a pack of 30 tissues. Well since I do have a new cleanser I might take my chances so YOU know if u can trust this or not. Happy deals ck out ur local bargain stores and share sales if you know of some!
