NOTD - 1/11/15

I finally got around to painting my nails again. I don't think I have given them any thought since, oh a week or two before Christmas. I originally thought about doing a kelly green, but then like always green turns into mint which turns into a light minty blue and then I just NEED some sparkle and tada! today's nails were born.

I used -
OPI Natural Nail Base Coat
Zoya Wednesday
ORLY Halley's Comet
OPI Top Coat


I was trying to be clever and so I failed a little because I was so impatient. I was thinking that I wanted to try the triangle look that leighannsays was rocking for a long time and so I grabbed some tape and immediately pulled up some of the nail polish when removing the tape because I didn't wait long enough for it to completely dry.

I did some touch ups here and there and I think this was passable.

What's on your nails?

FOTD : Kat Von D Evelyn Palette & NYX Transylvania - 7/24/2014

keeping on with the roll, I have another FOTD, plus a small haul. I went to Ulta today because I was having a really bad day(week) and decided to see if they had the NYX macaron lippies in the store - negative. Good news, there were new colors of the soft matte lip creams to poke at. I got one to see, and there are few more I would love, plus there are new normal matte lipstick shades now! As I was wandering around with my new lippie I found some clearanced nail polishes, SCORE! So I picked up Josie, Sunshine (pixie dust) , and Chita (pixie dust). The best part of the day was there were clearanced from 8.00 to 1.97 but when I got to check out they actually range up for .98 I believe. I purchased everything for under ten dollars! That sure made my week a little brighter.

This is the first day all week that my husband has noticed or at least said anything about my makeup. I walked into his office when I picked him up from work and all he had to say was "You look dark." For the life of me, I couldn't just take a "normal" photo but I think these show off the makeup well enough so here they stay!

What I used:


Face
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure
Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 115 Ivory
ELF High Definition Powder


Eyes
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
Kat Von D Evelyn Palette
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Demolition
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express
ELF Eyebrow Kit in Dark

Lips
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania


What do you think? Will you be running out to Ulta to score some nail poishes or checking out some new NYX products? I think the lip cream could have been a little bit nicer if I used a lipliner first, c'est la vie!

Weekly Loves and Unloves - 7/1-7/15

Last week I didn't wear much makeup it was so hot and humid but over the past two weeks I have used some products I have enjoyed and some I just cannot stand.

Love :  ZOYA nail polish
I had worn Wednesday for, like, two weeks with minimal wear. I am currently wearing Shawn and just have a small amount of tip wear.

Unlove : OPI especially Lucky Lucky Lavender
I want to punch this in its face. It was horrible to apply. Its thick and streaky and three coats later I have horrible chipping only a day or two after application. Boo!

Love : BPAL Pumpkin Princess
LOVE THIS PERFUME! 
Description - Before the Grand Dame was the Pumpkin Queen, she was a Pumpkin Princess! Bright, sweet pumpkin with vanilla fluff, guava, chocolate-dusted white amber, tiare, red currant, raw honey, and meringue.

Unlove : Tokyo Milk - Poe's Tobacco No. 1
I have tried to love this so much. I love Poe and the scent notes seemed nice, but to me, it just smells like an old lady for me. 

Description - A decidedly different collection of brilliantly paired fragrance notes housed in an alluring glass bottle decorated with Poe's own raven. Deeply nostalgic: Tobac, Tea Leaves, Amberwood & Autumn Apple

 What have you been loving, unloving, or using a lot these past two weeks?

Long time no see

Soooo I don't really want to know how long it has been since I have posted here. Things have been very busy with family things and makeup just was not a priority. Currently Moon Rabbit Cosmetics is closed. I do not have the time to devote to it as I feel it deserves.

Now that I got all that business out of the way, I want to start posting again so I will share a NOTD and a weekly favorites.

Firstly the most work I have done painting my nails in months:
this instagram picture is the best I can do

Base: Zoya Wednesday
Polka dots: OPI Don't 'Ya Just Love OPI stamped with Bundle Monster - BM-
Bow: OPI Road House Blues stamped with Konad - m56


-----------

And now for all the things I have been using and loving this week:

1- Chinovi eye shadow in Whisper
I was organizing all of my indie shadows and for some reason Whisper kept calling out to me. Good think I listened, IT'S GORGEOUS! SO SPARKLY! I love patting it over a foiling medium to give a very nice sparkly look when you want to be "toned down" because of your nice bright lipstick!

2- ELF Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain
My Make Up For Ever Foundation is practically empty (I don't know why I am trying to limp it along) and I just don't feel like using my Illamasqua one because I am pretty sure the slight tan I have developed has made me just a little too dark for my current shade.

3-Darling Girl blush in Pixie
Apparently no longer on the site, this is a gorgeous subdued everyday blush. Not super bright, or pink, just perfect to liven up my face when I don't want to look like I am "wearing blush."
