NOTD - Sinful Colors - GRECIAN SUN

Indoors with flash
This is an amazing creamy opaque bold Azure blue!
Base Coat: None
Three coat application.
Top Coat: NK Express Dry

















Indirect sunlight, no flash
I had to hurry to swatch this before my teenaged daughters got a hold of it.
I am sure I will have to hunt for a backup for my collection.
This was affordably priced at $1.99. I usually wait for a Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal at Walgreens. However this was a part of a limited edition display.
Yes, it was a complete impulse buy.















What do you think of this color?

NOTD - China Glaze - STARBOARD

Natural Sunlight


This is a beautiful soft creamy green. It reminds me of Jade.
Base: China Glaze Strong Adhesion
3 Coats STARBOARD
This was opaque with just two coats.
Top Coat: Seche Vite


















I received a lovely compliment while wearing this shade.
The lady was from Thailand.


















With Flash


Green is my favorite color. However it is not my first choice for a nail color. I just had to have this one though.


















No Flash, Natural Sunlight

Do you own any green nail polishes?

La Femme Blush On Rouge - REVIEW

Pan Size: 1.45 inch 36.83 mm
(This is the same size as a single Make Up For Ever single eyeshadow)





I received these three lovely blushes as a gift from a friend.
They are extremely pigmented and last all day.
I would recommend using a fan brush to apply the blush with a very light hand.
A little bit goes a long way.



Left to Right
 MAGENTA Hot Pink matte
PURPLE PASSION Purple satin with slight shimmer
BORDEAUX Wine with lots of shimmer





PROS
  • Highly pigmented.
  • Beyond affordable at $2.50 for a single pan without the casing. $3.00 in the pot.

CONS
  • When purchasing, the wait time for these is more than a week. The orders are processed by hand. It is certainly worth it in my humble opinion for such a pigmented product.
  • Many of the colors are often out of stock because of the popularity of this blush.
I plan to purchase more La Femme Blushes from http://www.makeupmania.com/
