BarryM Nail Paints in Red Glitter & Bright Pink Swatches

As you all know I love nail polishes! It doesn't matter whether its a matte, cream or glitter.. I must to have them all. I have to show you all the two I recently received from Barry M!

 Bright Pink (279)  & Red Glitter (150)

Choose from over 50 different shades, Covering the whole colour spectrum-from pure white to decadent red. There are metallic pearls, mattes and shimmering finishes to suit every mood and taste. All Nail Paints are in a quick-drying base suitable for natural or acrylic nails.

Bright Pink has a cream finish. In my opinion it looks more of a bubblegum pink than a bright pink. I only needed two coats to get even coverage, which is good because it dried quickly.

Red Glitter is made up of fine glitters. This glitter can be worn alone or with a solid polish underneath.

Love it!

Flash vs. No Flash 

I definitely need more of these!

Which color is your favorite?

What blushes are in my collection & why?

I get a lot of questions on blushes from everyone. Not just WOC...In my opinion, you only need 3 blushes but having a palette looks better.

This is what I bring whenever I go on shoots. The palette was bought in my last semester of MUA school..I have no idea where my teacher got it. Although you can't get this exact palette, you can definitely dupe these :)
The ones with the X's are the ones which get used the most.

You can NEVER go wrong with oranges & berries ladies!

Some dupes that I use are:

Orange: MUFE Eyeshadow- Tangerine 18 (vibrant matte orange)

Berry: MAC Fushia Powder Blush

What color of blush is your favorite?

How do you feel about nude heels?

One word: LOVE

Spiced Beauty:Top 7 of 2010!

1.  Annabelle Smudgeliners: They come in a variety of colors & there VERY pigmented!
2. MUFE brow corrector & Smokey Lash: Definitely must haves! Add some gloss to the lips and you have a full look :)
3. MAC Wicked Ways Lipglass: This is my absolute favorite lipglass of 2010. If it's still available... GET IT!
4. Fusion of Color Matte Shadows: Fusion of Color mineral powders has Carnauba Wax. So the shadows felt very smooth when applied. 
5. Balmshell Lip Glosses: These are my everyday glosses. They come in several different colors and I put the keychain part on my car keys :)
6. Revlon Matte Lipstick in Wine Not: This is nothing but pure love. This is the first lipstick that I am comfortable wearing everywhere :)
7. Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F-80: If you want an airbrushed finish, this brush is your best friend!

Have you tried any of these before?

FOTD: Chocolate Smokey Eyes featuring 28 Neutral Palette

I love brown smokey eyes because their definitely perfect for day and night. I always like to try out looks before I wear them out to an event. This gives me control to eliminate or re-introduce products to make it better :)

I use MUFE as a base because it was waterproof & smudge proof, Annabelle smudgeliner in Oh my Goth, Eve Pearl Blush Trio in dark & MUFE Smokey Lash mascara. This time I used my 28 neutral palette for most of the look.

This palette is definitely going to be one of my traveling palettes. It has a lot of colors that can be used for smokey, neutral & every day looks.

Do you like brown smokey eyes?

NYX Chocolate Mega Shine Lipgloss Swatch in Chocolate

Ive always been an NYX fan but I never tried anything other than the shadows. At IMATS I decided to pick up a few things. One of the first glosses I got was NYX Chocolate Mega Shine Lipgloss in Chocolate.

This lip gloss is scented...so if you don't like scent glosses stay away from this one. Also its very pigmented so a lot goes a LONG way!

Here is a hand & lip swatch:

Since this lippy has a slight frost, It looks amazing with a smokey eye! So far Im satisfied with this gloss and I definitely want to try more.

Would you wear this gloss? Also what other NYX products should I try out?
