My goodies came in a big box (FedEx) and everything was wrapped in bubble wrap and pink tissue paper. Pretty!!!
This is the Creative Me #1 Palette ($21.95) 12 highly pigmented colors! The picture above this, is the box the palette came inside of and the palette closed.
This is a Coastal Scents Hot Pot. They are like M.A.C pots, the same size too I believe. This color is Hot Pot #S24 ("S" standing for shimmer; $4.49). It is such as pretty sage green color.
This is lip gloss, called Lip Smacks. I love this color. It's sort of like a very light coral nude color. Its called Strut On Nude ($5.95). The first image is the packaging the product came inside of.
I added two new brushes to my collection. The one on the left is the Blending Brush ($2.99) and the other is the Black Crease Brush ($1.89). I can't wait to put these brushes to use!
And finally I got samples of these two products. The first one is Silk Cover Mineral Foundation in Brown Sugar (the sample cost was $2.00) and the other is an Eye Shadow pigment called Persian (this sample came free with my order). I like this color. It looks gold/light brown in the picture, but its actually a nice green color with golden shimmers.
Ok so here is a look inspired by the Queen of Blending that I did on my friend Kandyce using my 120 Manly Palette. Hope you enjoy!
*MAKEUP LOOK*
(From Left to Right): Moss, Sunset, Reluctance, Apt, Nuisance, Ambivalence, Deep Secrets
This swatch is called Twilight. Love this color.
This look could use a nice black/gray smokey eye and a nude lip color with some gloss.
So I re-arranged my bathroom sink and this is what it looks like now. I think my most favorite place in my apartment is my bathroom, besides from my closet and bedroom (of course lol). Its my beauty sanctuary where I get beautified and all glam'd up! So check it out. Also look at my previous post on my bathroom setup to see the before pics.
This is the left side of my bathroom sink. I have my three-draw bin, cup of makeup brushes, and fragrances/body scents. As well as a bin of for my makeup palette, sunglasses, and facial products.
These are all my fragrances/body scents that I use. Love smell goods!!!
This is the right side of my bathroom sink which holds by toothbrush holder, dish soap of q-tips, jar of cotton balls, a holder for my cotton pads, hand soap, and picture frames of my family. Also in the pink glass is where I hold my in-scents.
Okay so here is a breakdown of what is in each draw of the bin. The first draw is where I hold my makeup collection (pigments, small palettes/quads, lip gloss/color, mascara, eye liner, eye shadow primer, etc). The second draw is where I hold my jewelry (basically all my earrings, rings, and bracelets. I store my necklaces some place else). The third draw is misc. items like other makeup products I barely use, eye lash curler, nail clippers/products).
I also have three draws going down the side of my bathroom counter. In the middle draw I pace all my hair equipment like curlers, wave irons, flat irons, and blow dryers.
For the color on my lips I used, L'Oreal Paris Riche Colour Lipstick in Fairest Nude (with a little bit of gloss on top), also recommended by Makeup by Leina.
Hope you Enjoy!
I came across this ad campaign when I was browsing Spring 2010 ad campaigns. I am a visual person and love editorial print work and love to see how designers visually communicate their lines. I just like the whole set up of this campaign, and if you don't know gold is my favorite color, and the ad campaign below by Pinko used alot of gold and glitz in this campaign. Enjoy!
