Review and Look:Sephora Colorful Palette in Chromosome X...

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

This Sephora Colorful Palette in Chromosome X was *gifted* to me. *Thanks diva!* I was so excited to work it!

(sheer plum sheen with multi-colored glitter, rich copper shimmer, vibrant minty turquoise shimmer, soft buttery gold shimmer)-Sephora...

Well, one eye is applied dry and one is applied wet or foiled.( want to guess which is which?) The colors are very sheer...packing them on didn't seen to give me the 'pop' I wanted. So when I foiled the colors on the other eye...It came out PERFECT. I love this palette!!!

Lips are MAC Om with clear gloss...oldie but goodie:)

Review: Cover Girl Lip Stain in Coy Coral #430...

Monday, March 30, 2009

Inspired by Kia to purchase this...I copped Cover Girl Outlast Lip Stain in Coy Coral #430.
Where do I start? lol!! Well, as you see its a marker. Like those markers my kids have that they leave the tops off of..then are mad that they are dried up?
*Mental note:Hide this from Kel*



This is CG Outlast Lip Stain on bare lips. I just basically draw'd it on. It went smooth...my lips aren't too dry. Has a strange smell...

Added a clear gloss.
Overall: I probably will never use it again because I found that the color I picked was too bright...something I wouldn't wear out. But, I'm intrigued...I saw a bronze colored one and I might get that one...see how it works. But its nothing on a brown girl like me without a gloss. Unless you like that matte, dry look. It also stayed on me FOREVER. I washed my face, use makeup remover on my lips to get it off and brushed my teeth...AND it was still on?!!!

N.O.T.D: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lightening

Happy Monday....some you will have one!!

Well, this is a NOTD, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lightening, I created this weekend. I had allergy problems and "monthly" problems but some how that didn't stop me from painting my nails!! lol



The NOTD was inspired by this Ksubi tank that I saw in Elle magazine. I think Rihanna rocked this yellow with smiley faces mani before or was it Solange?

That wonky smile courtesy of Revlon Black Lingerie. I could find but Nubar Nail Art in Black. I plan on investing some of those SH Nail Art pens.




Then I bling'd his ass out!!! Like they do it in the country!!
Alas, cousins...this SH Insta-Dri formula in Lightening is crap. It was chipping the next morning...This is three coats...its super streaky too. Punk ass yellow polish. Sorry for all the profanity...no, not really.*shrugs shoulders*

Rural Glamour F.A.Qs: A "Dupe" Request....

Friday, March 27, 2009

Hey cuzins!!! I had a "dupe" or "Duplicate" request from my lovely traveling bug Soror, Meredith. She really wants this quad that I did a Shopping My Stash F.O.T.D with called Catwalk Prowler. Well, it was from a LE L'Oreal collection in 2005 called Pink Panther featuring Beyonce and is not available in stores( a couple are on Ebay), I couldn't even give her mine because I threw it away! So, asked me to choose some colors similar to those in the palette...

Milani Beach Sand( for the light gold color...but I think I have something darker to dupe that color in my collection...will check again:))
The copper half of HIP Duo in Saucy
The dark pink half of the HIP Duo in Playful





And MAC Romping(it in the Hello Kitty Too Dolly Palette)
Any suggestions for other dupes for the Catwalk Prowler Quad...Let us know!!
