My little pony from 90210 Fashion Star? &more :)

so as i sit here @ 10:50 pm on a Tuesday night I think, I'm bored... what should I do? Well nothing better than to talk to my beauties! Well this may be a long one! I have a lot to come out :) For those ladies who only read my blogs for beauty I will start off with that - but don't my girls who want a little more out of it worry, I have plenty more to say! :)



Let's start out with a possible fail. I totally hate to say it because the colors look gorgeous in pan but I picked up the Milani quad in 07 Wild Violets and the shadows are not up to par.  Given, I need to play with them a bit on the eye but my initial opinion is not great :( The color pay off isn't great and although it feels nice and velvety when you watch it, the shadows go on rather chalky. I will def need to give them a try and experiment with them a little, I'm hoping for the best!


Next on the beauty agenda, I have a nail of the day :) as promised here is my first nail of the day featuring a Nicki Minaj polish. Today I have on Fly :)

I adore this polish and have already gotten so many compliments on it! I think it will great on all skin types, under glitter and I would rock it all year long! 




Alright ladies! Now lets tackle the other million thoughts in my head! First let's discuss the best thing you can get a McDonald's.. Mighty Kids Meals- I prefer chicken nuggets. As we all know, I eat like a 5 year old and these are perfect for me! Not to mention- I somewhat have the mentality of a 5 year old so I LOVE the toy in it :)


While I munched happily on my kids meal and combed my my little pony's tail, I decided to catch up on some TV. Tonight's line up- Fashion Star, 90210 &Dance Moms :) We all know I'm a TV junkie so I'm pretty excited to watch a brand new fashion show!! 


FASHION STAR!! Oh em gee. New obsession! Not only is this show made for me- its fashion, duh! Its a fun, fresh, unique take on a fashion design show (don't worry Project Runway, I still love you too!).  What I love about Fashion Star - besides the music that makes me dance a little, is that the clothing shown is wearable and in stores the very next day! Its really exciting to see what designs get to picked to go into what store and which ones don't. I was pretty disappointed to see one of the designs not go into stores- I would've bought it in a heartbeat! But I don't wanna give too much away for those who haven't yet watched it! This is a new addition to my weekly veg out TV line up and I'm so excited for next weeks episode! 


PS Nicole Richie &Jessica Simpson look amazing! 




Before I leave this blog I can't leave without discussing Pretty Little Liars. This show is a ongoing addiction and last nights episode did not disappoint. I'm not gonna lie, there was one point where I wanted to cover my eyes! Who do you guys think A is? My pick is becoming less and less likely.

Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash





I was extremely excited to receive the product from SheSpeaks and Simple- thanks you much btw! but at the same time I was scared that the product would not live up to my expectations. For those who don't know what SheSpeaks is- its an online community where a whole array of things are discussed and reviewed. Periodically, the company chooses members to fill out a survey and is sent a product and in turn asked to give input. I'm not sure what goes into the selection of who is chosen- they do ask for blog/social networking information, but I am extremely glad to be one of them! To my amazement, this product is as great as I was hoping (&praying) for it to be! I tried this product out for a few days and experimented a little and I think I have found my new favorite facial wash. I even tried it without using a toner or a moisturizer and it stood well on its own (although I'd rather use a moisturizer in addition). I have oily/combo skin and this face wash responded very well to it . Initially, while your skin is still a bit damp I wasn't too impressed but as I let my fave dry a bit more I started to notice amazing results. My skin was soft and smooth and by the very next day the tone had improved and my blemishes were less noticeable. Just like all other skin care products, different people prefer different ones as everyone's skin is different but this face wash is for sure a keeper!

OPI's nicki minaj collection

let me just start this blog stating that I am officially in LOVE. i have all the colors from the collection, excluding the shatter and they have all moved to the top of my "nail polish I might die without" list. although I do not have individual swatches of each I do have nail of the day's for all but one so far so they will be posted soon. the quality of this polish is amazing but what is there to expect with OPI? all of them do require two coats but that's the norm for me anyways. the actual colors in the collection are superb, unique and to die for. Did it on em is a beautiful creamy limish, pastelly green color. Just like all the other colors, it is PERFECT for spring/summer but I have no shame rocking it in the colder months.  Fly is a dark teal cream polish. Is there anything else I need to say? Teal is a gorgeous color in general but the fact that this color was bottled is just genius.  Pink Friday might possibly be my favorite pink in my entire collection. A bit darker than a baby pink, its perfection in nail polish form. The color is not streaky and looks awesome after 2 coats. This polish is also a cream.  Metallic 4 Life Finally! Getting to the glitters! A silver hexagonal and circular glitter suspended in a black base. This polish easily stands alone, it is very opaque and gorgeous. I'm not usually the biggest fan of black based polishes but this one suckered me in! Save Me This polish leaves me speechless, no description or pictures can do it justice. If this polish isn't in your collection or if you haven't at least lain eyes on it then you are missing a piece of your soul possibly.  The polish is pink, blue, orange and green (I think) bar glitter surrounded by small silver glitter suspended in a clear base. Check it out, pretty please :)
