Makeup Withdrawal

Polished by KPT March into Spring Collection

Friday, May 9, 2014

Hi folks!

I finally finished editing my pictures of this gorgeous spring collection from Polished by KPT. I kept reswatching certain shades because the pictures didn't come out s great as I wanted them to, but now I'm finally satisfied. March into Spring contains five thermal shades. First thought, check out the new packaging!

FOTD: Orange

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

Good evening all!

I really wanted to do orange lips today, so I pulled out Impulse Cosmetics Electric City (review here) and slapped that on. I actually had to do a few layers to build it to this opacity. I added a clean winged liner and called it a day.

Ninja Polish Color Changing Garnet

Tuesday, May 6, 2014

Hi folks!

Before I talk about this polish, I just wanted to comment that I can't remember if I bought this polish or if it was a press sample. Yeah. Giant whoops. Not that it would change my review, but just to let you know that I can't honestly remember. I've had it for roughly a year and only now pulled out Ninja Polish Color Changing Garnet. It contains both color shifting pigment and micro glitter, so it looks red/copper/gold/emerald green. Since it's not just shimmer but actually contains glitter too, the sparkle is more pronounced than a simple color shifting pigment topcoat.

Laura Mercier Bronzing Pressed Powder in Dune Bronze

Sunday, May 4, 2014

So as it turns out, I've been sitting on this review for about a year. I purchased Laura Mercier Bronzed Pressed Powder in Dune Bronze last April. I'm not sure why I did, not even to this day. I'm not a big bronzer person, I just prefer my untanned color to bronzed skin (this explains how I must be the only person in the state of California to have a vitamin D deficiency). I think I bought in the off chance I did tan a bit over the summer and rather than buy darker foundation, it would be easier to sweep on a bit of bronze color.

RBL NailsandNoms

Friday, May 2, 2014

Hi folks,

This is the manicure that I've been wearing these past couple of days. I really was drawn to the warm carrot orange of Rescue Beauty Lounge NailsandNoms so I used that as my base color.

NailsandNoms is such a beautiful color, modeled after an even more brilliant blogger - Rie. I used four coats because it was a little bit sheer for a creme. NailsandNoms is so unique, it's filled with beautiful blue/purple/fuchsia-looking ultra fine shimmer.

I then taped the design using nail striping tape and used American Apparel Cotton as my accent color.

Rescue Beauty Lounge shades are available here.

Have a great night! I'm not sure if I'll be blogging this weekend. The mister has half a mind for us to go camping. In the snow (but... but why? Madness, I tell you).
