Giveaway winner.

My first giveaway is over, and I'm pleased with being able to announce that Ariel has won!
I did not receive a lot of entries for my giveaway, I think that had a lot to do with the fact that it was internationally restricted.  I will try to possibly have something soon that is open to my international followers, it's just sooo expensive!
I was happy with the fact that anyone entered at all and I look forward to doing my next giveaway.

Later today I will be posting my Kat Von D Poetica look, like promised from my last post/review.  I hope you ladies enjoy that and the rest of your day!

Always will be,

Kat Von D Palette-Poetica

Kat Von D Palettes are slowly becoming my favorites, this one being no exception.  I picked this up before Christmas and JUST NOW got around to swatching it and using it.  Today will be a swatch and tell.  I will show you swatches of the product and give a little review.  Then within the next few days I will be putting up a look I did with using just this palette for eye shadow.  On to the swatch festtttt.

This is the new metal palette type the have, it springs open fairly quickly and that can be somewhat of a hassle but its pretty sturdy.

Just a close up on the name here for ya.

All of the color names are listed on the back. (From T to B-Forgiveness, Sand Timer, Chandler, Tijuana, Wonderland, Shiba, Babe, You alone)

The beautifullll shadows

This makes it so they are in the same order as I listed them, from the back of the palette

All of them swatched on my arm.  This is upside down from the previous order they were in, sorry if thats confusing!  The left side is swatched dry, and the right side is with NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk underneath.

(From L to R-Forgiveness, Sand Timer, Chandler and Tijuana)

Finger swatches in the same order as above

(From L to R-Wonderland, Shiba, Babe, and You Alone)

Finger swatches in the same order as above

Soooo about this product?  I love this palette.  Sand Timer is a little less pigmented than most of them, and You alone is very very sheer when blended out.  The rest of them are creamy and richly pigmented.  Babe is in a similar formulation as Stars and Rockets from MAC.  It has that Purple/blue/blurple/pinkish/duochromey goodness when over white or black.  Tijuana is probably my favorite shadow out of allll of them, love the golden, orange glitter in the pure black base.

This originally came with a Kat Von D mini eyeliner, in the black color.  I have since already used all of this up, long before my blog came along...so sorry for that!

I got this palette shortly before Christmas at Sephora for $38 dollars.  I do normally see them go on sale for $24ish after they have been out for awhile, so keep your eyes open!

As I said, I will be posting a look later this week using nothing but this palette for eye shadow.  So be on the look out for that!

Nail Polish Haul

Hey lovelies, I went shopping yesterday to get some new spring colors and I found some good deals.  You all know how much I love the Sally Hansen Xtreme line, so I picked up a few more of those.  I also got some Art Deco nail polishes from LA Colors.  This was all purchased at my local Dollar General..  The Sally Hansen ones were $2.50 a piece (no sale this time, wah wah) and all of the Art Deco polishes were only $1.00.

(All of the colors I bought)

(Sally Hansen Xtreme wear)

(#150 in Sun Kissed, this is a pale creamy orange yellow, leans a little peachy)

(#360 Mellow Yellow, a pale creamy yellow, bright for spring and summer)

(#240 Twisted Pink, looks like a cream at first, but when you look closely there is a slight golden shimmer)

(#280 Marine Scene, A shimmery teal blue)

(#200 Strobe Light.  A pink gel base with Silver and rainbow reflective glitter, good for a top coat)

(LA Colors, Art Deco Polishes)

(Intense pink)

(Silver Glitter)

(Teal Glitter)

(Black)

(This is the brush size on all of the Art Deco Polishes, they are perfect for nail designs and make sharp lines)

Wellllllll, that was a lot of pictures.  I look forward to doing nail looks and fun spring/summer nails with these polishes.  I am excited to use the Art Deco polishes to make nail art a little easier (since I seriously suck at it!)  What are some of your favorite nail polishes for spring/summer?  I will be doing a spring nail polish post soon since spring is fast approaching!  

Also, if you haven't checked out my giveaway, please do!  It ends this Friday and I would love to see as many people as possible enter!  I have some fun and cute prizes, so make sure you take a look.  click here, baybay!

100 follower giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

I Wanna See Your Peacock!

So today I was going to have two reviews on a couple of my favorite mascaras but unfortunately I haven’t got around to taking pictures of both of them on my actual lashes. I think it would be kind of silly to post a mascara review without seeing how they look on my lashes! So instead I’m going to do a NOTD.

I love doing NOTD posts, and I think they are fun to read and see what combinations other people come up with. Lately, I have been big into putting glitter on just my accent (ring finger) nail. I think it gives the manicure something a little special without being over the top!

This look was created with my main color being Blue It by Sally Hansen. It is one of their Xtreme Wear nail polishes. I bought this on sale at my local Dollar General for only $1! I love this color. It’s a true, royal blue that has a very glossy, shimmery look to it and applies well. I have on two coats in the pictures below. I have quite a few of these Xtreme Wear nail polishes and I do love the formula of them. The brush is also one of the larger brushes that Sally Hansen is known for, and I do quite adore these.

The glitter polish that I have on my ring finger is called Lemme See Your Peacock by Icings. (I wanna see your peacock-cock-cock) I love this color. It is a chunky light blue, light green and pinky-purple glitter in a clear jelly base that you need a few coats for it to be opaque. I put this over top of two coats of Blue It, to make sure there was no nail showing through. This cost me $4.50 at Icings. I do really love almost any glitter polish that Icings puts out!

This combination is fun and cute for a weekend look. I did wear this to work for about 3 days and got a lot of compliments on the colors! What do you guys think about this look? What other glitters do you recommend?

Also, I would love some feedback from you guys on what type of posts you most like to see. Anything from haul, review, FOTD, NOTD, or anything at all! Currently I am working on a few reviews, a blush collection/overview of my favorite blushes and a current makeup and fragrance wish list! Help me make the most of this blog for the both of us!

Also, I would like to give a special thanks to everyone that has followed me so far! I currently have 19 followers and I AM THRILLED!!! I love the feedback and once I hit 100 followers I will be doing a giveaway! Anyways, thank you all so much for making the start of my blog awesome!

Always will be,
