N.O.T.D.: OPI Significant Other Color...

Hi Everyone!!

I did this mani yesterday while chillin' on my front porch watching my kids run and run and run in the yard!!

OPI Significant Other Color

I got this in the clearance bin, too, at Trade Secret. And I know why it was there. Wack. Sheer wackness...that's three coats you are looking at with my nail still showing plus it looks nothing like the bottle color( it goes on yellow greenish) AND the name is perfect because it was "significantly" Another Color. *sigh*

N.O.T.D: Ruby Kisses Caribbean...

DUPE ALERT!!!!

Ruby Kisses Caribbean=Essie Mesmerize

I bought this a couple months ago during a random run in at the BSS. Paid 1.00 for it. So, while I was feenin' for Essie Mesmerize, in my own collection there was... its frugal, yet fab lil' sista Ruby Kisses Caribbean. I'm going to check the BSS again to see if they got anymore...I'm itching to do a giveaway on this:)

Review:Halle by Halle Berry...The Fragrance...

I'm so excited to be doing a review on Halle by Halle Berry, the new fragrance by Halle Berry! Here we go:

Notes:

Top: Sicilian Bergamot Fig Leaves and Pear Blossom

Heart:Freesia Petals,Hibiscus Flower, and Ultra Mimosa

Dry Down: Sandalwood, Driftwood,Cashmere Musk, Olibanum Absolute, and Sensual Amber

Positive:

I love this scent!!! I'm huge fan of fig and sandalwood, I love warm and woodsy fragrances, so this was an immediate hit for me. It smells very .very similar to my Prada Eau de Parfum( the original one released in 2004), but Prada is more Amber than fig . The packaging as you can see is gorgeous, very vintage inspired... Great for night or day, you don't have to just wear it at night.

Negative:

Really none...other than, why would they introduce such a woodsy, warm scent right before spring? I normally don't wear anything with that oriental, warm smell to it once it gets hot. Maybe the chemistry of the scent changes for the better once the weather warms up and the skin warms up. I'll keep it out just to see how it does...I'll update:)

Consensus:

Great addition to your fragrance collection. Check it out!...It will be sold at Kohls and released this month.I've been wearing it every day since receiving it and feeling swexy:)...

Shopping My Stash: BeneFit It Was The Perfect Alibi and Fate Made Me Do It and L'Oreal Shine Delice in Grape Juice...

Today,I'm rocking BeneFit. I don't own alot of BeneFit but I just loved this collection, Black Orchid, they came out with in 2005, I think.I bought the whole collection, so I will have some more coming up on it...

The eyeshadow duo is called Fate Made Me Do It. I primed my eye with the nude side of the highlighter pictured above called It Was The Perfect Alibi...

Check that lippie out...No, No, Its not MAC Lavender Whip that everybody was raving about and stays sold out....Its L'Oreal Shine Delice Grape Juice Sheer. Dug it up after seeing Lavender Whip in NY and not picking it up because I had feeling that I had something like it at home....sure did:)

I actually like the picture out of the whole lot.:)

Shopping My Stash: mark.Hello Pretty Collection Eye Shadows...

Happy Monday!!!

I dug this up last week...Its the eye shadow colors from mark. Hello Pretty Collection that came out two years ago. Now, mark and Avon had a fragrance with the same name, which I didn't like but still have. These shadows came as duos but I put them in one of mark's magnetic palettes. The light pink and black are called "cake and corset" and the light blue and salmon-gold color is "magic and pool"....

Shiny!!! Lawd!!! But this was best pic out of the lot ...

I used ALL the colors...lol!! Let me tell ya'll something...treasure always lies beneath. The colors are highly pigmented...great for a day look this spring...I love these shadows!!! And its been in my stash all this time!
