Pink Zebra

Hey guys, this is a mani that I did awhile back for a birthday party. I decided to match my nails to my dress.





Sinful Colors - Bianca
Konad Special Polish - Black & Plate M57

I still need to get a good topcoat that won't smear the black Konad polish.

Here's a pic of me in the dress:


Some of you may know that I rap. Here's a vid from that night, a freestyle I wrote to Eminem & Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie.



Hope you guys enjoyed it. I wanna do some fun Christmas manis before the big day next week, but I got a lot of stuff still to do. I wish wrapping and rapping were the same, I'd get it all done a lot faster haha.

Mint Sprint Will Call You Later

This is the mani I've been rockin for the past week or so.



Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Mint Sprint
Sinful Colors - I'll Call You Later

I love how green and sparkly it is. I actually got a compliment on this. It's funny cause it's always the simple manis that I get compliments on, not the Konads or fancy nail art or anything.

This is a start! I've got some more pics to upload and I'm finding all kinds of fun LE stuff out there.

Wet N Wild Color Icon Palette - Vanity

FIRST REVIEW! I picked this up after reading good things about it online and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed.

WHAT YOU GET: 6 shades, 3 matte, 3 shimmer, and each group containing a good lid, crease, and highlight color. Of course you can mix and match, that's part of the fun.

I was in need of some neutral eyeshadows. I think I have almost every color of the rainbow but very few neutrals. Enter the Wet N' Wild Color Icon Vanity palette, which filled that gap in one swift motion. Oh and at a fraction of what my other eyeshadows cost.

THE GOOD:

THESE SHADOWS ARE PIGMENTED! That was surprising. Of course I buy products hoping that the quality will be good but you never know. Drugstore products sometimes have a bad rep for being sheer, and I've even bought high end stuff that were let-downs. Not these though.

THEY STAY. I didn't use a base or primer the first time I used them and when I got home I didn't notice any creasing. And usually eyeshadows crease on me.

THE PRICE. These are priced at $4.99. A lot of places have discounts or sales. I picked mine up at Rite Aid for $3.99. At that price, you really can't go wrong.

THE NOT-SO-GOOD:

BE CAREFUL! These are soft, which isn't actually a bad thing, but don't go digging your brush too hard and be careful to not get fall out in the other colors. I didn't have any fall out on my face but I did spill a bit in the surrounding shades.

That's it, I like everything else about this product. Maybe the price DID make me feel like I over-paid for other stuff in my collection, but I can't list that.

OVERALL: I have to say I love every shade. I lean towards the matte crease shade, a rich chocolate brown, quite a bit. But I have to admit the medium lid shade on the shimmer side is absolutely gorgeous. It's a velvety golden honey shade that goes on like butter. I feel like I gotta add "LIKE BUTTAH" simply for emphasis.

Now I did say that my neutral collection was a bit lacking so I don't own many other shades to compare, but two that I do own are M.A.C.'s Retrospeck and Mulch. The light and dark shimmer shades in this palette make pretty good dupes for them.

This little palette is low on cost but packs a punch and I'm glad I was able to round out my collection with it. I'm already thinking it would make a nice present, especially for girls who are new to makeup. These are all wearable, everyday shades that would please everyone. Plus the pigmentation and texture make it easy to work with. It's a nice change to see matte shades at the drugstore, too.

IN A NUTSHELL: For the price, this is a steal. $4.99 for a single good eyeshadow is a great deal, but for 6? That's just plain crazy. Everybody needs neutrals in their collection. If you're looking for a good selection of neutral shades, this is your one stop ticket.

Halloween Craziness

Eep, I haven't posted anything in awhile. I've got a lot of pics to post and some cool stuff but I need to put Photoshop on my computer so I can resize and add text and stuff.

Basically for the last two weeks I've been helping plan a Halloween party and it ATE my entire week last week. I got home from shopping and picking up last minute stuff at like 11pm Friday night and then stayed up till flippin 6am making mini cheesecakes, carving pumpkins and getting everything ready. The party itself was yesterday. It was ok, I had fun. I rapped there but did a dance too. Lol the neighbors in the apartment next door were watching from above and started cheering.

Like whenever I go out, I'm ALWAYS doing something at the last minute and then forget to take pics for a FOTD. I loved my makeup so much yesterday, a blackest black smoky eye with cool Halloween falsies. I wore all black and a military type vest like The Black Parade with ripped leggings and fishnets and a black petticoat. I'm gonna try to get pics from someone who went.

I'm still really tired from it all. This weekend is Halloween, I'm excited. :]

First Post!

Just testing this out. I finally made a blog guys! I'm planning on using this more for makeup and beauty stuff anddd include rap stuff too but that will be tied into Youtube.

Tha DiVa has hit the net. There goes the neighborhood.
