December 17, 2014 By StephanieLouise 227543 Comments2014-12-17+01%3A41%3A44StephanieLouise

This post is somewhat embarrassing because it shows my complete lack of control when I really like something. Seriously I just buy almost an entire line…proof in this post as I currently own 8 out of 10. & it is killing me not to make it 10 out of 10. I have a problem.

I bought it. Affiliate links.

The Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Lid + Line + Lash Duos come in 10 shades like I said above & each product is double-ended. Each duo comes with a cream eyeshadow on one side & a glitter on the other. The two colors I don’t have are Fuchsia Flash which is a very pale pink & fuchsia glitter & the other shade is Burnished Bling which I fully intend to pick up when I finally find it in stock! I posted a sneak peak of these on my Instagram here which is a good place to follow me for sneak peeks & deals I find! [Read more…]

C is for Copy Cat with Zoya Matte Velvet Nail Art

November 13, 2014 By StephanieLouise 200715 Comments2014-11-13+15%3A39%3A34StephanieLouise

This #A2ZNails weekly series has been so fun so far. I love that you guys love it- repetitive? Yes but factual. After last week & my B is for Bold nail art I was looking for something a bit more fall or even winter. The theme this month is Copy Cat so there were tons of options here…but I decided to go with this idea that I pinned awhile ago & just loved. (ps if you don’t follow me on Pinterest you’re missing out- my nail obsession isn’t just restricted to my blog!)

PR Sample.

So basically I kind of took her fabulous idea & made it dark, vampy, matte (until I added top coat…), & of course multi-colored because I have no self-control. I personally love it.

So my base color is Zoya Dovima which was lovely. You let it dry completely & then add your striping tape kind of randomly focusing at the tips. I then sponged on each colorful shade focusing again on my tips. I think the outcome is so easy & so beautiful. Obviously her design is way more awesome-ly in your face color-wise but this just feels so fall! My pointer finger (red) is Zoya Posh, middle (purple) is Zoya Savita, ring finger (green) is Zoya Veruschka, & the pink looking color on my pinkie is Zoya Harlow.

In the end I decided to add a topcoat because…shiny! Plus it makes those shimmers really flash. Please ignore the obvious pet hair on my pointer. #that’smylife In the end I really love the design & I barely had to think about it- just pretty much came together!

So what design would you copycat? Next week’s design will be D for Dark, any ideas? I’m kind of at a lost- I need some inspiration! Remember to check everyone else out below!

October 22, 2014 By StephanieLouise 179656 Comments2014-10-22+00%3A19%3A19StephanieLouise

Ever walked through TJ Maxx & spied an OPI you’ve never seen? Well I did! I promptly placed it in my cart (along with way too much other stuff) & didn’t think twice about it. When I looked at it in the car on the way home I really thought it was stunning- flakie & shimmer & yes! So much yes! This got me thinking- why am I the only one crazy about it? Why haven’t I heard of this shade? Just wait to find out why because this is one weird OPI tale! [Read more…]

NEW Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments Eyeshadow Swatches & Review

July 22, 2013 By StephanieLouise 367Leave a Comment2013-07-22+21%3A04%3A00StephanieLouise

When it comes to eyeshadows from the drugstore, the Maybelline Color Tattoos are easily some of my favorites. I wear them as eyeshadow bases nearly day to day & also wear them on their own. When I heard they were coming out with pigments…I was ecstatic. I LOVE pigments! These are the first true mainstream/drugstore pigments I’ve tried that weren’t some form of sheer. After reading some reviews I picked up 7 shades. I have since picked up all but one! Keep reading to see my swatches & thoughts! [Read more…]

These shades are totally what I wanted for fall! Okay, seriously, I’d take these shades anytime. I love the in your face feel of these. I already know some people will immediately look at them & say “No freaking way” but wait! Remember, these are super long wearing…consider using them as eyeliner! I wear them that way often & they are perfect…& I am finding it hard to beat the staying power!I think if you love color, these are just as impressive as the fabulous neutrals from the other Maybelline Fall 2012 Limited Edition displays!
