NOTD- Essie Case Study

I've been kind of obsessed with taupe and nude shades lately, so when I saw Essie's Case Study at Target the other day it was a no brainer!

I used my Konad and OPI's Elephantastic Pink for the zebra stripes on my thumb and third finger

Also if you haven't yet, be sure to enter my NARS Danmari palette giveaway as tomorrow is the last day left to enter!

NYE Look featuring Lime Crime

I recently got a bunch of Lime Crime lipsticks (I will swatch them soon!) and I thought that it would be fun to do a different type of NYE look!

To get this look, I used:

Eyes:
*BH Cosmetics palette
*Urban Decay Primer Potion
*Clinique gel liner
*Benefit They're Real Mascara

Lips:
*Lime Crime Chinchilla

Face:
*Dinair Airbrushing Machine (I will be doing a review on this baby soon!)

Julep Maven Mystery Box

Happy Belated New Year to everyone!!!! Last week, I got an email from Julep Maven with an offer for a 'Mystery Box' for $20. After seeing how much some other bloggers got in their boxes, I decided to check it out!

 I'm definitely glad that I did as I got way more than $20 worth of products! I got:

                                 *Julep Nail Appliques- similar to Sally Hansen Salon Effects

                                                 *Glycolic Hand Scrub and Hand Brightener

                                                                 *Lip gloss in Arousal

                                                    *Julep polishes in Holly, Stella and Diane

                                                                      *Julep nail file

I definitely can't wait to try everything out! To find out more about the Julep Maven program, you can check out their website here.

FOTD: Green with Envy!

                   I decided it would be fun to do a green eye, with purple around the outer corner:

I used Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base with Gravity (the green shade) and Bender (purple shade) from Urban Decay's Book of Shadows 4

There is nothing like seeing a close up of my brows to make me realize that I need to get them waxed badly! And I am working on getting a better camera as my picture quality is not great. If anyone has any suggestions on great cameras, I would LOVE to hear them!

OPI Warm and Fozzy/ Konad Leopard Print Manicure

I've been loving my OPI Muppettes collection and my Konad!

I used Warm and Fozzy as the main color on all of the nails and NYC nail polish in Black for the leopard print. I am working on getting some of the thicker polish for stamping as the NYC didn't show up very well on the patterned nails.

Christmas Eco Emi Box Review

I've been gone for the past week up north, snowmobiling and doing other fun snow stuff, but I will be getting back to posting regularly now....

My December Eco Emi box actually came the day before Christmas Eve, so it was kind of like an early Christmas present!

This box had SOOOO much in it too!

*Patterned Footies by Maggie's Functional Organics, $6.00

*Vitamin C with zinc chews by Genesis Today, 30 chews $11.99
   These taste like little candies and are sooooo good! There is 200% of the daily value for vitamin C in each one however so I will probably only have one or two a week as that is a lot more than you really need.

*Whispering Pine Candle by Wyk Candles, 4 oz $8.99
  This was a nice candle and had a bit of a spicy smell. It was really small though and you can't burn it for very long because the melted wax puts the flame out pretty quickly.

*Tangerine lip balm by Zambeezi, $2.95 per tube
  I love getting lip balm in these boxes as I go through them extremely quickly! I especially LOVE this one though! It feels really nice on my lips and has a great citrus scent.

*Botanical Lip Gloss by Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques, 2 mL tube $8.00
 This is a pretty fall-ish shade. The one thing that I don't like though is the type of tube that it comes in.

*Organic Raw Cacao Bliss by Artisana, $12.98 8 oz
  I'm not a huge fan of this. It has kind of a crumbly texture and is just kind of like a paste that you eat.

*Greenshield Organic Free and Clear Laundry Detergent by Greenology Products, $13.76 for 64 loads

*Organic Candy Canes by The Natural Candy Store, 1/2 lb $5.99

*Jojoba and Ginseng exfoliating face cleanser and Blood Orange and Vanilla body wash by John Masters Organics, $28 for 4 oz (cleanser) and $18 for 8 oz (body wash)
