Nails Of The Day (NOTD) - Revlon PERPLEX

This color is rumored to be a dupe
for the more expensive
Chanel PARADOXAL.
I won it in a give away from
nailsbeautiqued

I love it! It's very chic.
I would describe it as a dirty plum.
You might be able to find this treasure
in the clearance bin at your local drugstore or at
BigLots.

























Do you own this color?

Playing Around with Pinks on Friday

I did not buy the MAC Pink Friday (Nicki Minaj) lipstick. I did not think it would be flattering on me.
I did not want to jump through hoops to order this item. I understand that as of today, it is still in stock on the MAC website. I wanted to use products in my arsenal to recreate the look.

I opted for flawless foundation,
soft cheeks and a neutral eyeshadow look pumped up with some lashes for drama.



















Here is what I used.

FACE

Prime Korres Quercitin and Oak (Anti Ageing, Silicone Free)
Foundation - NARS Sheer Glow MACAO
Set with e.l.f. Clarifying Pressed Powder TONE 3 in tzone & TONE 4 for Contouring

EYES

Prime Urban Decay Primer
Base MAC Paint Pot SOFT OCHRE (mobile lid only)
Shadow Urban Decay NAKED palette
Highlight Coastal Scents 88 Palette H1
Transition - L'Oreal matte SUEDE BROWN
Crease BUCK
Mobile Lid NAKED and NYX single eyeshadow SKIN
Outer V HUSTLE
Liner - Wet N Wild H2O Liquid Liner EXTREME BLACK
Lashes - Sassi #747 M


CHEEKS

Base L'Oreal HiP Blendable Blushing Cream COQUETTE
Set e.l.f. Natural Radiance Blusher COY and SHY













LIPS


Prime - Korres Lip Butter GUAVA
Line - NK lip crayon ROSEBLOOM
Fill - NYX lipliner pencils ROSE and BARBIE PINK
Gradient dark to light, exterior to center of the lips.
I blended with my fingers.
The paleness of the blue based pinks was a bit much against my brown skin.
I muted it a bit with some Gloss. Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds RHINESTONE PINK









I was truly inspired by my nail polish.
I used Wet N Wild TICKLED PINK Cream.
I also used Sinful Colors GLASS PINK and
PINK 4 EVER for accent colors.



These treo pictures really don't do the mani any justice.
Too much sun.












I'm not into labels, (really, I'm not!) *laughing*
I got these sunglasses from A.J. Wright for $2.99 on clearance. I bought them more for functionality than anything else. Whatever I can do to combat creasing around the corners of my eyes from squinting to avoid bright sunlight is a plus.
I never leave home without them.
Yes, I even wear them on overcast days.
I'm on my Hollywood Status. *laughs*






I love my nails at this length. I'm going to have to trim them soon.

You can probably see them better in this 4 minute video.
Did you know I have a cooking blog too?
