Do you prefer palettes or single shadows?

Personally I'm torn.. I love the idea of palettes. Everything in one concrete area! Eg. Daytime..Nighttime. But what I hate is that I never use them...unless I'm going on vacation or to a shoot.

I find myself using more single shadows because its easier to pin point what I want. Eg. MAC swiss chocolate & NYX red bean pie is an amazing combo, so I lug those around with me in my makeup bag.

So my question for you is palettes or single shadows?

New Years: Glitter Nails for only $5.00!

I have become such a nail junkie lately.. I think it`s because I follow several nail blogs. They`re sooo inspirational because they always give me ideas on what to do with high & low end polishes. Also some of them give out dupe information. I love the fact that I can get a Chanel dupe at H&M for a fraction of the cost.. makes me happy!

While shopping at Walmart.. which is a lovely place to get your polish fix :) I came across this gorgeous Sally Hanson Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color. In these pictures I layered the glitter over H&M Grey Sky.

This color is called Strobe Light

Strobe light is the best name for this polish because the glitter gives off different colors when the light hits it. I had to take a fuzzy picture (no macro) for you to see how gorgeous it is! Definitely worth the $2.49 price tag.

I got several comments on these nails, so if you try this combo beware because it is a conversation starter....haha.

So there you have it my New Years 2011 nails. Including the H&M polish, they both cost me only $5.00... Also it saves me a trip to the nail salon :)

I will be sharing my New Years dress, hair style, make up, drinks(yum) & festivities with you all this year! So stay tuned :D

Would you wear this nail combo?

Beautyticket.com Haul

I recently won a $50 giftcard from beautyticket.com's twitter giveaway. Since Christmas is around the corner, I decided to spend it all on myself. I was sooo careful to spend exactly enough to not have to pay for shipping....haha. Here is what I got:

I got three China Glaze nailpolishes:

(L to R)
Trophy Wife, Thunderbird & Bad Kitty

I had to get these because they were only $2.79!!

Paula Dorf eye primer in "Deep". I will always be a UDPP girl but sometimes you want something new! I have not tried it out yet but once I do a review will be done :)

The last item is something I have been contemplating for a while! I do have very curly long lashes but I always want more...LOL. I know falses is the easiest way to achieve that but unfortunately I cant apply them on myself.

Sooo I decided to get Lashem growth serum. I was first introduced to this product at the National Women's Show. They had a booth and the employee's there had lashes to die for..men & women.

I will be updating you all on my progress!

Have you tried any of these products before?
