Two Tone Nails

I painted my nails last night this beautiful color from MAC called "Earthly Harmony". It's like a brownish grey color and I love it! The only downside to it is that it doesn't seem to last long. Usually the color starts to come off at the end of my nails.

So then today on my lunch break I headed over to Ulta and bought some more colors. I bought this great blue color from OPI called "Dating a Royal" and an awesome lilac color as well called "Do you lilac it?".

Torn between wearing my MAC shade and wanting to try the new colors I purchased- I decided to use both.

This is what I did...

I kept "Earthly Harmony" on and also used "Dating a Royal". I think this is fun and different. Not an everyday look but It should last me at least a day or two! I'll upload pics of the lilac color too as soon as I wear it.

Fake Bake

During the winter months my skin gets so white that its gross and you can see my veins. I become a translucent-skinned human. My problem is that I refuse to lay in a tanning booth because I don't want skin cancer/ wrinkles/ gross skin when I'm older. So I decided to share with you what I have been using that makes me have a healthy sun-kissed glow and does not make me look like Snookie.

This St Tropez tanning mousse is good for use all over the body. I primarily just use it on my face (no breakouts!) and will use it every now and then on my arms or legs for special events. The trick to this is to apply it at night and wait until the morning to shower off the excess tan. Ends up looking very natural (after the shower!)
In conjunction with the tanning mousse, I use the MAC mineralize skinfinish in medium dark (The great part about this is that there is no shimmer, so it looks natural). I dust it over my foundation and VOILA! nice looking tan skin.




So here are my steps in getting a tan face:

1. Moisturize, apply mousse. Let it set overnight.
2. Shower. Moisturize
3. Once the moisturizer has been absorbed, apply your regular foundation.
4. Apply MAC skinifinish as you would a bronzer.
5. DONE! Enjoy your tan self!

*The St Tropez I bought through Sephora.com and the skinfinish is sold at MAC stores or at maccosmetics.com

This precious little make up palette has been sold out forever but it is back in stock at Sephora on line!
They had this available for about 3 days last week before it sold out but I checked this afternoon and they have replenished their online stock! YAYYY!



Hurry up and order one before they run out again!


update: I checked again tonight and they are sold out again! Do not fret- I checked with Sephora and they said they expect to have the palette in stores by the first week of February and it may be available on line again sooner. Sign up for the email updates and they will notify you when it is available again.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is January 11th and now I need to play some 50 Cent and party like its my birthday!

Waking up in Vegas

Ever since I purchased Deborah Lippman's nail polish in "Today was a fairytale" I have become a fan of this nail polish line. The colors are pretty and some of the opaque shades only require one coat (which I love!). Nothing is more annoying than layering a nail polish 5 times just to get the color you see in the bottle.

My next nail polish purchase will be "Waking up in Vegas". Lady Gaga wore it on the cover of Vanity Fair, too!
