China Glaze - Jamaican Out

Two (2) coats plus top coat
Purchased @ Sally's Beauty Supply $2.99
I was worried about this color at first thinking that it would be too bright for my skin tone but it's actually a beautiful coral.  However, I was highly disappointed that I waited to my son went to sleep before getting started - only to have major bubbles in my top coat when I woke up this morning...it's so bad that I will be removing it after only one day of wear.

I wanted to do some stamping over this color but it looks like I'll have to try it at another time because these darn bubbles are working my nerves...if it wasn't sooo many it wouldn't be soo bad!  Oh well I guess I'll just have to get over it.

Overall, the application was smooth sailing and went on very smoothly with no streaking or fuss.

It must be a hot color because LOOK it matches my Dr. Pepper...LOL!!!!

KleanColors Haul

So Monday (06-25-12) during my lunch break my two co-workers and I visited a local beauty supply near our job - I was only suppose to go in and check out extensions but as I scanned the counter I came across their KleanColors Display and couldn't help but to pick out these six colors:

From left to right we have the following:
  • Pearl Beige #41 - A soft beige with a hint of pink pearl shimmer which also looks like a light bronze depending on how the sun hits it.
  • Twinkly Love #38 - A clear base polish with pink, blue, red and yellow heart.
  • Starry Blue #33 - A clear base polish with blue hex and micro glitter
  • Starry Purple # - A clear base polish with purple hex and micro glitter
  • Aurora #29 - A clear base with iridescent micro and hex glitter.  This is a very pretty versatile layering polish.
  •  Blue Satin - A blue base bar glitter polish with a dark blue and purple micro glitter.  This polish can be worn by itself and become more opaque with multiple layers.

Wet n Wild - Fauna Collection

Well, well well...look at what I found at my local Walgreens right before I got ready to check out!

It's the Wet-n-Wild Fauna Collection...and you can't beat the price!!!!!

The first item is the Color Icon Blush in color 831E - Pealscent Pink..it's a nice subtle sheer pink (swatched in photo at the bottom to the right) in a matte finish...its really close to the Mellow Wine which I just recently lost and was close to finishing so I found this kit just in time.

I'm actually looking forward to using this eye shadow  - at first I wasn't too found of using all three of these colors because i'm use to darker colors but now that they have had time to grow on me I can't wait to see what I come up with.
The swatches are not that pronounced on my skin tone so I will definitely be using a eye shadow primer to make sure that the colors pop especially in warm temperatures...I absolutely do not like chalky eye shadow.

Now on the a girl's favorite tool...LIP GLOSS!!!!!!
This lip gloss is called a lip gel in color 311A-Glass Confusion...it's on the thicker side but it's not overwhelming and its a really sheer mauve pink tint. it's really shiny and not very sticky at all...


Now we have arrived to the polish Teal or No Teal - 227C it's a pretty deep blue with a green tint with have the tendency to alternate between the two colors depending on the lighting...i'll be swatching this color soon...but right now i'm getting ready to go to bed...I am totally bummed out right now and work and the park with the little one.

Overall i'm excited to do a makeup look using this collection and pick it up and give it a try...this is one of two colors.  The other collection was a little to loud and bright for me but to each it's own...i'm going to bed now...Good Night Darlings!!!!!

Wet n Wild ~ Ice Baby Glitters (My Collection)

Ok so previously I posted a picture of the Wet N Wild Ice Baby Glitter Collection which debuted around Thanksgiving Holiday but now my haul is complete.  Between Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy I  was able to round up my collection and I must say that I love each and every single color.

So before I get to rambling here are the colors I have in my haul:


The Pros -

  • nice pigmented polishes
  • brush is easy to apply polish nice and smoothly
  • great affordable price
Cons - 
  • limited edition polishes
  • does not come in normal 0.5oz bottles; the bottle size is .34 fluid ozs
  • not easy to find all colors; had to do alot of shopping around
