My current favorite TV show is Once Upon A Time. With a blend of magic, drama and modern day happenings, it’s enchanting (can you spot the pun?). The closest I’ll ever get to Rumplestiltskin’s abilities, however, is by owning Enchanting’s purple magnificence.
It’s a dark lavender with microshimmer. I’m thinking of using a gold polish to make some cool designs. I could just use my magic wand to do that, but Pinocchio borrowed it to make his nose small. Again. 
I don’t have time to write a full review, but I sort of don’t have to, because these lipsticks are AWESOME!!! There’s not much else to say about them. Well…maybe a few more things.
L-R: One swipe then three swipes of Vibrant Mandarin, Vivid Rose, Brazen Berry
These are just perfect for summer. Bright, intense shades that deliver major pigmentation without staining skin too much. The only yucky aspect would be the strange plastic-like smell, but I can live with that.
Vivid Rose is going to get REALLY worn down this summer. I can see myself wearing it with Milani Berry Amore and bare eyes.
Have you tried the new Maybelline Vivids? What are your thoughts?
My second bottle of heavenly luxurious bliss Chanel nail polish the new blue shade named Bel Argus.
Surprisingly, I don’t think I own a trued dupe for this. It’s an intense cerulean blue shimmer. Perhaps OPI Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue comes close, but I don’t think they would be the same. I’ll have to do a swatch comparison to know for sure.
What do you all think? Worth the money? Too ordinary?
I decided that life is too short to deny myself Chanel any longer.
Over the course of two paychecks, I bought 3 Chanel nail polishes.
Oh, don’t worry. The rent is paid up, but I may not have phone service for a while.
Natural light
There is definitely a difference between this and Revlon Carbonite.
Graphite has a distinct yellow-green tone that really picks up when I move my fingers in the light.
Who here supports me in my Chanel nail polish splurge? It was totally worth the money!
Yup. I hauled. Again. But I did get a bunch of awesome stuff!
The majority of what I got is Rimmel, unless otherwise mentioned.
-Sexy Curves mascara in Extreme Black
-Volume Flash The Max mascara in Extreme Black.
-Glam Eyes mascara in Extreme Black
-ScandalEyes Volume Flash in Black (I got 2 and put one in my pro kit)
-Volume Flash The Max Bold Curves mascara in Extreme Black (in my pro kit)
-Exaggerate Full Color Lip Liners in Epic, Eastend Snob, Enchantment, Obsession
-Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Natural
-ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Liners in Black, Turquoise, Deep Blue
-Moisture Renew Lipsticks in Violet Pop, Latino and Cherrylicious
-Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel in Stiletto Red
-Match Perfect Foundation in Sand
-Kate Moss Lipstick in 01 (backup)
-Sinful Colors Nail Lacquer in In The Spotlight
-Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector Straightening Balm with Argan Oil (I normally don’t buy hair products from the drugstore, but this was $3.33, so figured why not?)
Before you yell at me for spending a lot…I bought all of this when Rimmel was 40% off. Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them?
When I saw this multi-colored stunner on the rack, I knew I had to buy it.
It’s a Christmas polish! Green, red and gold all tossed in a clear base. What really grabs my affection for it is the fact that it is not one of those wimpy glitters that only smears 3 glitter pieces onto the nail. The glitter is fairly densely dispersed when I apply it.
Want one for yourself? Would you buy this?
Hello all,
This lovely person nominated me for a Liebster! I have to tell you 11 random facts about myself, then answer the 11 questions she posted.
11 Random Facts About Moi
1) I love playing musical instruments, but I often get off track and it takes a while for me to get back to playing. I started the violin when I was 13, played for a year, but didn’t go back to it until I was 17 (also, I learned through a school music program when I was in the 8th grade. We couldn’t afford a violin at the time. When the program was over, I had to return the violin). 11 years later, I still haven’t played consistently (but I am looking for a good violin teacher! Know anyone?).
2) I like salty foods. Sweets are great, but give me a bowl of potato chips and I will be a happy camper…I mean, blogger!
3) I used to be known for writing when I was younger. I was the star writer of my elementary school, and I wrote for the school newspaper when I was in junior high and then high school. I’m thinking of going back to writing short stories (as with the violin, do you see a pattern here?).
4) I was a Girl Scout when I was 7. I had a Brownie uniform and everything. I also ate my weight in GS cookies.
5) I’m Wiccan. I’ve been one since I was 18, but I was raised Christian.
6) I’m the oldest of five. I have two younger full siblings and two half siblings. We all have the same mother.
7) My favorite colors are red, blue and purple.
8) I once worked for a Spanish language newspaper, selling advertisement space. It was a weird experience.
9) I’m predominantly of East Indian ancestry, but I also have Lebanese, Afghan and Iranian ancestors.
10) My grandparents both had curly hair. All seven of their children have curly hair. Of their 15 grandchildren, only my cousin Robert and myself have curly hair.
11) I once got kicked out of school (true story!). I was at Hunter College. I didn’t do well academically, so I was dismissed.
Now for my questions:
Thanks to Skinny Jeans Baked Beans for nominating me!
My friend Jessi tapped me into Hits nail polish. We both purchased them from Ninja Polish. I’m glad she told me about this brand, but there is a downside. 
I’ll tell you more later.
I received a box set containing four polishes.
Dreamer
Dreamer is a blue tinged deep purple. The blue tones become more apparent as your fingers move in the light.
Trendy is a yellowish neon green. It almost looks like Chanel Peridot in person, but I don’t think they are exactly the same. Btw, I got Chanel Peridot!!!!
Cool is a darker and more olive green. It’s not an icky, boring green, though. The golden effects keep it from being too much like the color of army fatigues.
Cutie Pie is the best one of the bunch! The colors change drastically when I move my fingers in the light, or when I walk into a darker room. It will look teal, purple, or green. I should have taken more photos to show you all the potential of this stunning polish, but I was in a rush and only snapped one.
I really am over the moon about this set. I love all four colors and I’m happy to support a company that isn’t mainstream in America. Remember that downside I was telling you about? Hits polishes are not Big 3 Free. This set contains toulene and formaldehyde resin. Darn it. So while I will keep the ones I bought, I don’t think I’ll be buying any more unless the company becomes Big 3 Free.
How do you like the polishes?
I played around with a couple of shades of green, then tipped my nails in sparkly gold.
Dark green: Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel in Mistletoe
Olive green: China Glaze Peace on Earth
Very tips of nails: Wet n Wild The Gold and The Beautiful
I used Scotch tape to help create a sharp line. For someone who’s not into nail art, I think didn’t do such a bad job. Am I right? *hears crickets chirping*
Instead of a refreshment, I’ll take another light blue nail shade! I own a few of these, and yet my appetite for Tiffany box blue and mint shades is not yet sated.
This could pretty much a dead ringer for China Glaze For Audrey. I am starting to move away from color coordinating my nails with my outfits. I have a feeling WnW INAR and China Glaze FA will get A LOT of attention this summer.
In other news, I am now on IMDb…
