Obsessed.
I have been obsessed with this black nail polish. It's called Gravity by Coastal Scents, and I don't think I will use any other nail polish. Yes it's only $3.95, but the shipping, for me, is $5.73 so it adds up to be about the same as one of my previous favorites, What's A Tire Jack? by Sephora by OPI. The reason I'm so obsessed is it takes only one coat to become opaque, and with OPI drying drops, I can do a manicure in five minutes and I'm ready to go. Amazing for someone who is impatient, like me.
You can buy it HERE! (Check out their other beautiful colors too, amazing stuff, I'm ordering more!)
My Thoughts on Revlon Lip Butters
So everyone is going crazy over these new products by Revlon called Colorburst Lip Butters. I agree with the hype, they are absolutely amazing. Do I think you need to rush out and buy the whole set? No, unless you're a makeup collector. I will say that I will repurchase these, at least in the color here which is Creamsicle. It seems to suit my skin tone the best, it lightens my natural lip color but doesn't bleach it out, and hydrates my lips so they look fuller. I would say these are a combination of a lipstick, lipgloss, and lipbalm, which is pretty fantastic if you ask me.
I found mine at CVS for $9 and it was buy one get one half off so that was nice, but these should be sold at all drugstores. If they're not sold out that is.

Or something generic like that. Products used and such at the end.

Skin: Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet +

Urban Decay Naked2 Palette First Thoughts!
I was one of the lucky 5,000 to first receive the Urban Decay Naked2 Palette. Now if you're looking for a review that is going to critique it gram by gram, and a comparison this is not the review. I'm going to simply state, it is amazing in its own right apart from the Naked one palette, there need be no comparison from me for two reasons: I see them as two separate palettes, and two, there are hundreds already posted on blogs like HERE and YouTube like HERE.
So I love this palette. Although I am warm skinned, I prefer a taupe eye shadow any day of the week. This palette is much more cool-toned than the first so I will say that in comparison, that the first was primarily warm-toned, which is why they do not need to be compared beyond that.
So far, just from swatching it, my first time using it will be tomorrow morning, my favorite shadows are Bootycall as a highlight, Snakebite, Pistol, YDK, and Busted though it's not as opaque as I had hoped. Also, am SO happy there is a matte black shade included, as well as two other matte colors, as this would be amazing for crease work or eyeliner.
(Swatches will be posted eventually, click on the links mentioned above for some now if you like.)
You can buy the palette here:
Don't worry if it's out of stock, you can sign up to receive and e-mail announcing when it's back, but it, like the first, is a PERMANENT palette. So if not now then someday!
The brushes included are very nice, but the blending brush will be just that as it is too large for me to use in my crease. The lip color I have not swatched, but it does not appeal to me because of the color, a little bright, and the "plumping" aspect. Not a fan.
