What’s up Peeps? Who here can go to Target for toothpaste and NOT wind up spending $150.00 on clothes, makeup, shoes and scarves? Um, not me! Recently I was at Tarjay and came across some really cute makeup. It was so cute I had to show it here! Both are eyeshadow powders that come in really cute and convenient packaging. So you know how all these expensive designers like Isaac Mizrahi have cheaper lines for Target? Well this is sorta like that…only the prices aren’t cheap! The prices are in fact in line with what you would pay for MAC or Benefit, but I think it’s worth it for some of the items. The first is a line created by Swedish makeup artist, Petra Strand and it’s called Pixi and made in England. The other is a brand called NP Set, made in Germany. Onto the LOOT!

Erika

Isn’t Erika just pretty? I love it. It’s a very light pastel pink with lots of gold shimmer. The gold is really what makes this one stand out. It was pretty sheer, this is three coats, but it went on smoothly and with no issues. Love!

Ladies & Gents, I think I have found my new favorite (for now) polish line! Nfu-Oh polishes are A-MAH-ZING! First off I would like to say that I did order these from eBay (seller is Fabulous Nails) and I don’t have any issue with that, I know some people do. My choice was to either order them from a place that ships from New Zealand and be charged between $40-50 for shipping OR get them from eBay and a guy who lives literally 1 hour from my house and get them in 1 day. Gee, decision, decision! So I ordered the six that appealed to me the most, but now I swear I want ALL OF THEM they are soooo pretty. And it’s not just the colors and great formula either. The bottles are hands down the cutest I have ever seen. Si Francois, sophistique et adorable (So French, sophisticated and adorable)! All pics taken in the sun with no top coat.

Nfu-Oh – #125

I love this color, I think it might be my fav of the bunch. As you may know I am a huge fan of olive greens and while this does border on chartreuse, it’s definitely got olive in it. This is three coats here. The shimmer is so pretty both in sunlight and in indoors.

Good afternoon! These polishes below are ones I was super excited about getting because they all seemed unique and stunning. I have to say I am not disappointed in any of them. Also, I am experimenting with the size of my photos so you will notice these are slightly bigger than before. Let me know if you like/hate/or are indifferent to them. All pics taken in sunlight with no top coat.

Givenchy – Purple By Night

I am declaring Purple By Night purple of the year! After reading about the bottle size of Givenchy polishes on other blogs (.18 ounces), I wasn’t expecting a huge bang for my buck and I was right. At least price-wise. Color-wise it’s a whole ‘nother story! This is two coats of purple-y goodness here and it was smooth as butta. The color is grape purple with SOO much shimmery colored glimmer in it, it’s just BLINGY. The shimmer in it looks to me to be pink, lavender and gold and it truly is stunning. My only complaint is that I am already worried about running out because it’s SO small!
