Problems on Deck

These are the pigments featured in the Rose Romance collection ... I love Mutiny even though it does go on more sheer than I had previously thought. Circa Plum however, true to these types of purples and my skin, looks dirty when applied. It is such a pretty pigment in the jar ... but like so many other muddy purples it just doesn't flatter me well.

Also ... please excuse the messy liner ... my child told me in the midst of applying it that it was raining because the sun had run out of batteries ... and I about choked with laughter!

Enjoy!

More manicures!

Thought I would go ahead and post up on those to keep everyone entertained ... disclaimer though: I am finding that the Nfu Oh polishes border on impossible to photograph (at least with my camera). I have taken TONS of photos in all lightings and settings and it just isn't working ... so this is as good as it gets folks. Enjoy!

Apologies for the hiatus ...

I have had a horrid week and have been really busy so I haven't had time to post anything let alone actually wear anything worth posting. However, I have gotten MOST of my Rose Romance collection and more looks are forthcoming. I just wanted to say I am sorry for not being around much and updating. Love you guys :D

Latest Manicures!

Please excuse the messiness of some of them ... the don't stay on long since I change my colour almost daily so I tend to take pics before I have cleaned them up or do a bad job of cleaning. Click on the pics to enlarge and see the colour names!

Enjoy!

Copper Sparkle

This is another pigment that I got a generous share of from Donica (adore you girl ... hope you know that!). Honestly, this looks is almost identical to the Heat/Element mineralize duo, so if you have that you do not need these two piggies, or vise versa (yeah ... now how often do you hear me say that?!?!? you know I gotta mean it!)

Enjoy!

Grape Soda

I was telling Donica earlier that I wasn't really loving Grape piggie because in person I just felt like this look made me look tired ... but now that I see the pics I think that maybe I really am just that tired and Grape had nothing to do with it. This pigment photo's in a completely awesome way ... I definitely like it now!

Enjoy!

Girl's Day!

So, Donica and I got to hang out at my house all day yesterday and we had a blast playing makeup and just relaxing ... it is scary how alike the two of us are.

We traded some colours, and one of the things that I got from her is Cocomotion pigment. I really like it ... and we got sample of Vanilla piggie on Friday night at the Pro store so I just paired the two. I like the combo ... Vanilla piggie is alot like Solar White frost shadow but also has the added tinge of pink to it.

Also, I got the MUFE (Make Up For Ever) Smoky Lash mascara on Friday (exchanged that infernal BE Buxom Lash mascara for it at Sephora) and OMG! I am not sure if it is the MD Lash Factor treatment starting to work it's magic or this mascara ... but if it IS the mascara this stuff is amazing. Even if it isn't I am extremely happy with it. Lengthened ... and curled ... and volumized. I did have to go slowly with it because the brush is not a separating brush, but it was not hard to work with and the results to me are astounding.

Enjoy!
