~Fresh Coat~ Kleancolor Mocha....

 Well, I had to take off my beautiful Facets of Fuchsia and do something more conservative for the job hunt hussle I've been on, which seems like forever. But its ok....I think Kleancolor Mocha is the perfect neutral for only a $1 at the BSS. That's two coats, opaque. However, it takes FOREVER to dry, which is very true of  most of  Kleancolor creme formats. I put on a quick dry top coat and it was still crazy sticky two hours later.

 I've been asked how to keep my nails from chipping. For me personally, its a matter of nail polish formula, some do last longer than others. One of the best tips I learned in keeping my nails chip free for a couple of days is too make sure you paint the free edge of your nail so that polish is sealed at the edge.

Me this morning....I'm so tired right now....lol.:)

~Rural Style~ A Scarf is Born!!! MsVCharles' DIY Rope Scarf.....

Just like that....

I watched this video on how to crochet a scarf by MsVCharles....





Went by the local Wal-Mart....picked up some yarn....four hours later ( divided into two days), I had a scarf!!! Talk about Christmas gifts for everyone this winter!! I have for the longest time wanted to learn to crochet but no one who knew how would teach me. I guess it is true what they say, you can learn anything from You Tube.:)

If you are a Carolina Panther fan...I got a scarf for you! Think I'll come up with some designs and sell a couple in my Etsy shop.:)

~Fresh Coat~ Revlon Facets of Fuchsia.....

I was so excited to wear Facets of Fuchsia, yet scared since Starry Pink was HELL to get off( even with acetone remover, the hexagon glitter is like bulletproof! lol!) Someone in the comments of Starry Pink to me that...its true...oh my goodness( you never lied, girl! lol!).

anyways...Facets of Fuchsia is freaking gorgeous. Excuse me? This is a drugstore polish? Yes ma'am it is. Its so $8 and up overpriced fabulousness, yet its not. This is TWO coats too. The glitter is in a black murky creme, not quite creme but not translucent. Fuschia violet glitter to the gods! I'm surprised people are not scouring every drugstore trying clean this color out....its definitely a collectable.

With the flash....

~FOTD~ Rouge Eyes with Maybelline LE Ravishing Rouge Blush....

 I purchased Ravishing Rouge blush from the Maybelline Fashion Week 2012 LE Collection and to be honest....it didn't look good on my cheeks. It was a bit too red, then it has this sheen that made me look shiny not "glowy". Its a great color, so I converted it into a eyeshadow.  Best ruddy red eye shadow I've had in a while!

 Fail on the highlight:(((...this highlighter on the browbone has been a thorn in my side!! Ugh!!! Sometimes I just skip a brow highlight because I feel like I'm not choosing the right shade. Suggestions are WELCOME.:)

 I've been using Maybelline Great Lash Lots of  Lashes....gerrrrllllllll......review SOON!

I heard or saw on a blog that Ravishing Rouge is a "dupe" of a Chanel blush....Any truth to that? Let me know!
