Nails!


 Here is a rarity for you! A nail post! My nails are in decent shape so I thought I would take a pic of my recent polish job and give my opinions on the Fergie for Wet N Wild star polish. I do not post about nail polish often for numerous reasons. One being my nails are tiny. Not just short, like the whole nail bed is quite small. Another reason is I am not good at doing cool artsy things to my nails. I like a coat of color and a coat of glitter. Bam. Done!
 I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Pacific Blue ( which I found quite thin when I applied). Next I used Wet N Wild Hollywood Walk of Fame by Fergie. I do not have the best luck with polishes like these. Small nails do not work well polishes that have shapes or large flakes in a clear polish. As I figured one swipe on my nail gave me nothing but a thick clear coat. I got a piece of paper and dropped a blob on it and sort of separated the stars and the clear coat. Then I wiped all the excess clear coat off the brush and applied the stars. It was a mess because it was so dry. It rubbed some of my Pacific Blue off in spots. By then I was annoyed so I grabbed Sinful Colors glitter in Frenzy and just slapped it over it all. I ended with a clear coat of Sally Hansen Extreme Wear. It ended up looking cute but was a hassle. The edges on most of the stars are lifting so they snag on everything. I am going to return the Fergie polish because it really doesn't work for me and I am not impressed by it at all.
Have you tried this polish? Does it work better on larger, longer nails? What did you think of Hollywood Walk of Fame?

Ulta, Target and Ebay haul!

I have been shopping like an insane woman lately.
I went to Ulta and Target on Tuesday and then on 
Wednesday I got my stuff from Joys Cosmetics on Ebay.
Here is my haul!!

 My Target Haul
 This was a small haul because I broke the BANK the Sunday before shopping online.
The e.l.f brush was a new one I had never seen at Target so I grabbed it.
It is a contour brush but it is bigger than I thought it was. I paid $3

I also decided to give false eyelashes another try.
I have bought and ruined at least 10 pairs in the last few years. 
I just can't seem to get them on right. It is a mess!!
Someone in my makeup group suggested half lashes so I got some and the adhesive.
I tried applying them after my makeup was done and failed
 I just couldn't get the lashes in the right spot or the edges glued down.
I ripped them off and planned on throwing them away but
the next day I was naked face and bored so I tried again.
SUCCESS!!!
 Applying them before I have any makeup on seems to be the only way I will be able to do it!

This Wet N' Wild palette caught my eye. It was $3.99 which is totally affordable.

Swatched
Top is over NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Bottom is over bare skin

Overall it is a nice palette.
I am not crazy about how I applied it but the colors are bold and pretty.

My little Ulta haul
 I returned that dry eyeliner and gross moisturizer and got this stuff!!
 This was my splurge.
I have been eyeballing the lip lustre by Tarte for weeks now
but  couldn't bring myself to spend $24 on a lip product.
Since I had store credit it made me feel like I wasn't spending $24 on one lip crayon ;0)
I swatched all the colors at Ulta and decided on Adored.
This stuff is AMAZING!! It is so glittery and pretty!!
I definitely will be buying more colors.
The crayon is a very decent size and it will last quite awhile.
I highly recommend this product!!

I also got 2 Ulta eyeshadow crayons to use as bases under my pigments.
I have seen people use colored bases quite a bit lately and it really helps the with color intensity.
These were 2 for $8 on sale
 Dark Denim
I did not swatch the green crayon because I am going to return it.
I forgot that I ordered a NYX Jumbo eye pencil in green already.

My ebay haul from Joy's Cosmetics
I got 2 NYX Jumbo eye pencils and 3 NYX Jumbo Lip pencils
I paid about $14 shipped for this all.
I switched the labels on Hera and Narcisse by accident.

Hot Red
Hera
Narcisse


Here is my look from Wednesday.
I put the false lashes on, some liquid eyeliner and Hot Red lips
