Lipstick Spotlight and Giveaway

Nail Polish Winner Update! At the bottom of this post!
Rich dark magenta pink, a cute color for going out, is a little too bright for everyday use but what may seem too bright to me may be a perfect everyday color to others :) Interesting that this lipstick is by LA Colors, a known cheap brand, but still I can't resist this color...
Color #cp232

It's very unlike me to drool over nude lipcolors unless I'm wearing 2 lbs of eyeshadow that day but lately it's been all about nude lipsticks. Here is one of my faves, Pink Beige by Bobbi Brown which partake in this special Lipstick Spotlight.

What is your favorite lipstick at the moment?

Forgive me for I am late...

In just a few minutes I will be working on my incoming 88 Palette Monday EOTD in hopes that I will not revive my forgetfulness from this past 2 weeks!I'm late but all for a good reason - my baby is growing super fast and while I catch up with her, feeding her sweet potatoes and squash, I've been working on her language skills, and my son got ill just this past week, yep super busy...

Anywho, I'm glad to be back and in the saddle again :) Here is what I've been working on, hope you all like it..........

EOTD #1 88 Palette Monday: 'Sugarplums'

Believe it or not but the purple that is on the crease and contour is actually a blue color that has changed since layered over the coral color, I used the purple upper eyeliner from the Punk Funk ELF quad....

1 all over the eyelid and blended upward towards the highlight area
2 only on crease and contour area blended
3 on lower lashline only.
Stilleto Volume mascara and MAC Vanilla as highlight

EOTD #2 88 Palette Monday: 'Earthday'

This EOTD was quite easy, I got some colors that I'd never really played with before....


1 all over the lid and past the crease, used 2 to blend out edges of 1 and blended upward toward highlight area, used 3 only on lid blended upward.
1 on lower lashline
Stiletto volume mascara and Stiletto eyeliner
MAC Vanilla as highlight

Those who wait.....

....Could of had the Wet n Wild Color icon eyeshadow palettes for $1.99 each this past weekend!

Over the weekend I had just stopped into my local Walgreens for something to drink after going to my brother in law's great birthday party. I had no idea what would be in store for me :) Found out that those pretty Color icon eyeshadow palettes were on sale for $1.99 each so I grabbed all the colors except the 'Greed' one (didn't like nor want Greed) What an amazing deal!!!

As for the rest of my haul, ah, a little of this and that. I went back to my regular MAC foundation but I'm now in between colors NC40 and NC37, the NC40 is a tad bit too yellow for me and the NC37 is nice but is slightly lighter than my regular skincolor, so I'm sticking with the NC37 at least until summer. I do tend to get lighter in the winter months....I've managed to darken it a little with a bronzer....I'm not into bronzers much so if anyone rec's a good bronzer please let me know which one to try :)

I've been looking for this Color Club Electro Candy collection for months now and finally found it at Ross. I also picked up the Borghese nail color you see there in Stellare Notte for $1 and the massive eyeshadow palette you see there in the middle is by Profusion and was $5.99. I have about 3 Profusion palettes, they are really nice....This one here is the shimmer palette. True Match powder (natural buff) was from CVS. I finally got the Ginormous Lash from Hard Candy.

I've gotten 2 more Sinful polishes-top to bottom (Secret Admirer and Hot Spot)
A limited edition Maybelline palette in Best in Brown (very nice)
A new Confetti nail polish Moonstruck - which bares a strong resemblance to Sally Hansen's Commander in Chic and Rimmel's Steel Gray.

I also picked up some cute feather lashes at Walgreens. At Walmart a few weeks ago I picked up a Lash Stiletto and liner collection pack for $6, and the LA Colors palette (supernatural) is from Dollar General.
