Review: N.Y.C. MarbleEyes in Aquamarine and Tiger's Eye and Lola Mini Haul....

Hi!! I picked up N.Y.C. MarbleEyes in Aquamarine(right) and Tiger's Eye(left) about two weeks ago from Edkerd's...I mean Rite-Aid(I still call Macy's, Hecht's and Rich's).

Tiger's Eye is SUPPOSEDLY in the inner corner to the mid- lid and then Aquamarine from the mid-lid to the outer corner into the crease...sigh...

Yep...They are those "work it out" kind of shadows. I was on it trying to get that intensity. But alas, all eyeshadows are not equal. And you can't expect( talking to myself here...) that when you pay 3.99 for an eyeshadow you are going to get MAC quality and intensity...

Now back to my cuzins...:)

I like them, then I don't. Just because I had to put in the work to make them show up but, then they showed up well on film.

In other news...I went shopping for Christmas presents for the "Others"and went to Marshall's to dig in the Lola/Stila mess one last time. Came up with more Lola lip gloss...

From the left:Lola,Ballet Slippers,Ooh Baby, and Fantasica.All 2.00 a piece.

Swatches...I wearing Ooh Baby in the F.O.T.D above. Love them all!

RG Project Bonus...L'Oreal H.I.P. e/s in Platinum

Update!!! Here is it H.I.P. e/s in Platinum...12/19/2008....

Hi!!!

I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the duo up with the L'Oreal H.I.P. in Platinum. But here's my E.O.T.D. done with just the duo, mascara, eye base( I use H.I.P. Cream Paint Eye Shadow in Commanding, works like a "cheap" charm) and BLACK EYELINER( lol!) in the waterline and the upper waterline.

I put this one at like 9:00 am and felt overdressed!! It's wayyyy toooo much for the middle of day( for me, of course). I was just running errands and washing clothes. I met a new friend for lunch and he thought I was very "I am ...Sasha Fierce".:) I told him was way more "Sasha Fierce "than "I am". Trust.


Platinum is a "hot to death" party/club eyeshadow! I tell ya, if i had somewhere to go with it on. I could kill em with a blink. Not alot of work with it either. But....there is a bad side.....



It creases. I actually tried this last week and it creased to hell in 30 mins. I said "The Enemy will not defeat me...I'll tried it again with an eye shadow base". Worked like a charm the second time.:)

Review: Curls Joy To Your Curls Kit....

Hi Everyone...I'm such post hog today:) I just got some much goodness and gratefulness going on inside I just want to share all the yummi-ness!!!

Recently, I had a chance to test the yummy-ness that some lucky winner will receive in their Curls Joy To Your Kit. That winner will also get something extra special in that kit:

Champagne Curls and Kaviar Kinks Hair Restoration and Growth Treatment - formulated with champagne grape and caviar extracts, this growth enhancing, hair strengthening/replenishing treatment is THE solution for women that chemically alter their hair.

How Blessed!!

Here's what I thought of the 3 items I got to try:

Curlicious Curls Cleansing Cream - I'm always in search of a creamy shampoo that moisturizes and doesn't strip. This is it!! I did just one wash and my scalp felt fresh and my hair was clean and glossy. "That was the shampoo?" I asked myself!

Curl Ecstasy Hair Tea Conditioner - Hands down...favorite of the kit. Its got super softening skills in a matter of minutes....

Curl Souffle - I've been using this as my daily moisturizer on my relaxed, straight hair. It's genius...very lightweight and feels great after applying. It must double as a lotion....lol! because my hands are feel so great after putting it on my hair!

Make sure you enter the contest!!! It ends Friday and we pick on Sunday, December 21!!!

Shopping My Stash... mark.Toute Sweet Whipped Eye Shadow in Fluff and Flou....

Ok...So I bought these, maybe two years ago, used them once, hated it, then tried to swap them off on MUA. No Avail..folks were not interested. I was cleaning out a drawer last weekend and there they were...sigh. I told myself "You are going work these out.":)

They are very souffle-ish. I actually love Fluff( left). Frou(right) looks like frosting. Everything "frosty" doesn't always translate to my skin well.

I put Fluff from the lashline to the crease and Frou from the crease to the lashline. I finally figured out that the best thing for applying cream shadows is a BRUSH. lol! I found a brush( in that same drawer) that was from a H.I.P. Paint tube that I had never used. So I used it. Worked like a charm!

( check out my freaky straight/curly lashes. No curler or curling mascara works... Help me!)

Now, what these pictures don't show it that its really streaky in color.Its formulation, after applied, has to dry up. So it looks streaky, which reminded me why I didn't like them in the first place...

Anybody own or owned these...let me know!
