Nail Polish Haul

Are you excited about warmer weather? I am!
I love wearing opentoed shoes and showing off my pedicure. I have been trying not to buy makeup.
Nail polish doesn't count right?
Swatches coming soon!

These beauties are from China Glaze Spring 2011 Collection.
There are 12 in total. I only selected ones I thought would compliment my skintone. I prefer opaque shades.




The next group are some from my wish list.

Diva Bride (Pale Pink cream),
Naked (Coral w/ shimmer),
Rich and Famous (Blue based Pink Cream),
Fifth Avenue (Light Mauve Cream),
Pool Party (Neon Pink),
Ruby Pumps (Apple Red Glitter),
Four Leaf Clover (Kelly Green Cream),
Recycle (Steel Gray Cream)


I bought these Sinful Colors from a limited edition display at Walgreens. It was a complete impulse buy. There were a few more colors, but I liked these best. I believe the theme is inspired by Greece.
The light green with shimmer is called OLYMPIA.
The beautiful blue color is called GRECIAN SUN.

















Have you purchased any nail polish lately?

Updated Mujis (Makeup Storage) Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek at my current set up.




I am hoping that 4 - 5 drawers
and 2 - 2 drawers will be enough
to contain my collection.  One of the
two drawers has a hinged lid.
I opted to have that as I did not want
to have my foundations laying flat.
I am working to use what I have
and not acquire much else.
I do have separate storage for most of
my larger eyeshadow palettes.



I purchased the units over several months from http://www.muji.us/store/storage/acrylic-cases.html .
I am thrilled with the quality of the craftsmanship.
The sleek simple design compliments any decor.
Stay tuned for a breakdown of the drawers soon.
Have you purchased any of these types of systems? What is your setup like?

Maybelline 24hr Tattoo Eyeshadows - With Swatches


A fellow makeup enthusiast called me while I was getting dressed for work one day last week.




I assured her that I was going to search for these products on my way to work.



I was surprised to see that there was a display in my local CVS.



I purchased a few of them. The display had been hit hard by previous shoppers.



I visited a couple more CVS stores and found two more colors. I still am on the hunt for
Pomegranate, Taupe and Fierce and Tangy.

I plan to use these as secondary eyeshadow bases.

Photos are

Have you seen these in your local area?

Have you purchased any?
