N.O.T.D:Wet N' Wild Craze Nail Polish in Glitz and Nocturnal...Part 1...

I found Wet N' Wild Craze Nail Polish at Rite-Aid...it was damn near hidden...like it was two shelves above the floor on the regular display on the side of the WnW display.

This is Glitz...I wore it Saturday...this pic is three coats with a flash....
Natural light( w/o flash)...its pretty. I don't own alot of glitters.( this is 1 of 2)....
Next up...Nocturnal, a creamy black blue that I thought was black in the store and eggplant when I got out in the car....can you "Balloon Boy Punk'd"???! ( btw, that's two coats)

Sorry for the messy application...Awesome color...Its creme navy black...in a drugstore. Reminds me of something OPI or Essie would make and charge 9.00 for it. I will be wearing this alot this fall and winter...
Without flash...:) You'll be surprised...you can kinda get away with one coat with Nocturnal. Real talk.

Shopping My Stash:MAC Azreal Blue....

Hey Cuzins!!!

Well, I dug MAC Azreal Blue pigment from the crates the create a eye look that would match my Sunday dress. I guess ya'll have guess that by now...that I match my eye shadow to my clothes....lol.
MAC Azreal Blue sample( from Ebay..back when they could sell loose piggie samples on there) NK HD #3020 and #3008...
Azreal Blue is right above the crease, in between #3020 and #3008....that #3008 is the bizness...its looks like a dark vanilla but is a matte light vanilla that just blends everything together...

I love blue eye shadow.... excuse 'dem busted eyebrows. I need a beauty assistant. Something or someone to remind a Diva of all scheduled "maintenance".

Review: Revlon Fantasy Lengths Eyelashes....

*sigh*

I wish I had a review for the Revlon Fantasy Lengths Eye Lashes that were sent to me by Janet from Revlon( thanks!!) but...alas....

I CAN NOT APPLY FALSE LASHES....or I ALMOST KNOW HOW TO APPLY FALSE LASHES...

EITHER WAY...I CAN'T GET THEM ON

I actually received five boxes from Janet and Revlon but I messed up two pair trying to get them on my already curly, long lashes. I've watched ENDLESS amounts of You Tube beauty gurus and still can't get them on.

But they are beautiful...right? lol! They look like lashes I've seen applied at MAC counters....

I'll save them for when I get application down packed. :)

Review:China Glaze Matte Magic...

True Story:

A couple weeks ago, I was in Sally's and saw a 'jar' full of bottles China Glaze Matte Magic for '$3.49' sign on top. I thought 'What a freaking deal!',' considering they were retail $6.50. The SA rings it up and the total is $6.81. 'That's wrong', I said pointing to the bucket of ChG Matte Magic. So she fixes my price to $3.65 (plus tax), I pay, she bags it and I'm out the door.

I look back to see her SNATCH that bucket off the counter.:)

Here's a before of Revlon Black Lingerie ( best black polish period).....
Here's an after of Revlon Black Lingerie+China Glaze Matte Magic....

Pros:

-I love the way it made Black Lingerie look...I've lemming KO polish in Black, but the price($19.00) outrageous for a bottle of matte black polish. This looks just like it...cheaper

-I can used this on top of any polish. I like the fact that Zoya, OPI and others have done matte collections, but this was way smarter choice of product for such a trendy look, make a matte top coat for any polish. When I get the Essie Mint Candy Apple...oh....its going to be on!!!

Cons:

-Bottle's super small... .325oz to be exact. But marketing and business genius on the part of China Glaze again. Why invest in regular size bottles when this trend will be a thing the past in a matter of months?

-The brush is small but it picks up alot of product. You have to eyeball just enough for each nail...

-It was create streaks if you don't do the painting right. Check out the 2nd photo...you can see bits of gloss from parts I didn't hit with MM. I left it like that so ya'll can see the streaks.

Overall:

Buy it if into the Matte nail trend. I love Matte Magic so far!!

Review: YSL Parisienne....

I dream of Paris... going there....just to shop at Parisian pharmacies, eat crepes, sight see, listen to French R&B and jazz....

I'll get there one day. I remember one of my good friends went to Paris on her honeymoon....I'm still 'wow'd' by her pictures and words when I think of it.

Last week, Total Beauty sent me YSL Parisienne ( pronounced Pa'ree' see' enne...I heard it pronounced a 'different' way so I wanted to see how its pronounced, I took Spanish not French:))

Parisenne's notes are blackberry, damask rose, and sandalwood. I totally agree with Mischo Beauty and that I smell the damask rose and blackberry but even after it dries down and wears a bit, there is no trace of sandalwood. I'm a woodsy scent kinda girl and I didn't catch the sandalwood. But I did noticed that it smells like another YSL fragrance....Baby Doll.

I wore Baby Doll for a year...2005. So I'm pretty familiar with the notes. Parisienne smells exactly like it. Even Baby Doll claims to have a cedarwood base...but it doesn't!!! lol!

But, overall, I enjoy wearing it. Its a light, day time scent( agreeing with Mischo Beauty again;))...perfect for work wear when want to smell good but not offensive. I think I lot of guys would like it on the ladies, too!
