That is an amazing deal!!! I got the color Pink Ice yesterday and plan on getting more today!

Just wanted to let you all know, have a great day!!

A Great Time Shopping

What is it with me and my hauls? I won't pretend that I hardly noticed the long absence I take blame for (sorry!) but for your enjoyment here is one of my latest hauls!

So I heard a few good things about the new lipglosses by NYC, comparable to Urban Decay Ultraglide glosses. At first I bought Plaza Punch (a favorite of mine) and went and bought 2 more (big mistake). While Plaza Punch has alot more 'color' the other 2 I have aren't as pigmented...instead give off sheer color but nice shine.

Mulberry St. Mocha

Plaza Punch (favorite!)

Big Apple Red

and a new lipgloss I really like is Lippin' Large in Pink Champagne

Found some Loreal on-the-loose shadows! Only 1 color at Dollar Tree...but I grabbed it, anyway I don't have this color!

Airy Azure - A light shimmering turquoise (sort of reminds me of the Tiffany color)

Another new favorite is the Plexi Gloss by Hard Candy, found at Walmart stores

Mauve - Alous

"Hi, I'm Erica and I'm addicted to Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks."

('Sandalwood Beige and Mauvy Night')

...and it doesn't quite help when there are sales all around me, for example, my local grocery store has them for $2 right now!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes, I better make more room in my lipstick box :D

'Toast of New York'

'Kiss me Coral' and 'Ginger Rose'

'Peach Me'

'Berry Haute'

The collection by MAC called Venomous Villians was a big hit and I only took home 1 item, which was a lipstick, you know me!

'Innocence Beware! is not too light and not at all bright, but instead gives a soft bare pink color on the lips, since it is a creamsheen the lipstick has lots of shine...

MAC-Innocence Beware!, Revlon-Peach me, Ginger Rose, Sandalwood Beige, Berry Haute, Kiss me Coral, Toast of New York, and Mauvy Night...

It came finally! I've been dying to play around with the colors and actually use it for work, can't wait! I'm the proud owner of a...

Urban Decay 'Naked' Palette

comes with a tiny little eyeshadow primer called UDPP

(colors: Virgin, Sin, Naked...)

12 shadows in all, for $44 dollars and it also comes with Zero and Whisky - the 24/7 glide on liners by Urban Decay....

....Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked....

...Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted....

...Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal.

For halloween I decided to design something cute on each finger but I didn't have a good orange polish so I picked up this color at Sallys

Japanese Koi

All the other polishes came from all over...

Touch of Mink

Van D'go (a very nice color)

Galaxy Girl (still not sure about this color, it may go back)

Meet for Drinks (the pic doesn't do this polish much justice, this is a really nice purple burgundy color with tiny sparkles)

Moonstruck (not sure if I included this color in my last haul, lol)

Stellare Notte (same for this one! haha)

Arcadia Aqua (this is some strange brand I found, but the color is really nice!)

Last but not least, my newest addition is a nail polish by NARS called Pokerface...

So, here are the halloween nails I mentioned earlier but I'm missing one?

One thing that I love collecting (other than makeup!) are movies. I try to at least find my all-time favorites or classics....pretty much anything made in the 80's make the top of my list...Here are some I've bought recently...

(super old-school 80's!)

Honestly, this is the original Avatar...

Love it!

One of my favorites

 Some more pens to add to my little collection...

A gift for myself

Something very important is going on with me at the moment and to reward myself for my hard work I decided to buy this cute Coach wristlet in purple...I will let you all know how I am doing with my change, if you don't know already! haha

Good Night my friends,

Erica, LaliAmora

My thoughts on Essence NP Colour and Go

I first spotted these cute bottles of color at my local Ulta and thought they were a new kind of brand, not soon enough did I realize they were a favorite overseas.....for a few years... oops :) Ok, but I admit that I wanted to find out more about the brand. I heard from very few bloggers that colour and go collection was meh...but to me, me thinking it was a new brand, haha, I actually liked the colors....At first I picked up only 1 color (Get the Fever)......but later returned to add 6 more to my collection....

I love the array of colors they offer...not only are they priced pretty good, 99 cents per bottle, but they are perfect in 2 coats, which in the world of nail lacquer addicts is good, really good :)

Def. Noteworthy.....

So, I tried out the Essence Colour and Go nail polish for the first time using Get the Fever, a rich, warm tangerine creme color....It was perfect in 2 coats and finished shiny, not streaky, and was smooth. Next, I moved on to the color What do you think? which is a creme apricot coral color which dries sort of like a orange-creamsicle color, it too was perfect in 2 coats. My final color test out was with No More Drama, a light pastel purple creme, to me resembles OPI Puerta Valarta Violeta. This color has outstanding purple hues without being too white nor too purply, it was the perfect pastel purple. Perfect in 2 coats.

So far so good......

Product: 5 stars out of 5

Packaging: 4 stars out of 5

Quality: 5 stars out of 5

Overall: 5 stars out of 5

Buy again? Yes

Pros: Fair color selection, smooth application, fast dry time, lasting quality good, fair price - 99 cents per .16 fl oz.*

*if regular bottles are usually .5 fl oz that would mean a full bottle of Essence would be about $3, which is a really good price!

Cons: only that the small bottle holds .16 fl oz, So you'll have to keep buying replacements when you run out....regular NP bottles hold .5 fl oz.

Scale of 1 to 10: I give this polish a 9!!!

If you like Essence nail polish, which is your favorite color?

:) Have a great weekend girls!!

Just another Lippie haul!!

I bought a few things over the weekend that seemed to start another growing addiction... haha....

Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks & Wet N Wild silk finish lipsticks

Honestly, I have passed Wet N Wild so many times when I'm in a Walgreens or Target and never really looked at the colors. I used to own one of their lipsticks a long time ago but never went back for another. The quality is nice, I just wished I could locate all the other gorgeous colors they have listed on their website. As far as the Revlon SL lippies go, I love these, I now own 8 of them and pretty soon I may own 20, LOL! The quality is just amazing and they have a great color selection. A review of Revlon SL lippies coming soon!
.

Here are 2 Wet N Wild lippies that I collected, they are so creamy and feel wonderful, they are pigmented and last a good while. I love them, should have started collecting them sooner :)

Retro Pink & Dark Pink Frost

There are some other colors I'm trying to find, it seems as though every store I visit has a random selection of colors!

Other nice colors I want:
'Blushing Bali'
'Taj-Mauve hal'
'Pink Ice'
'Mouveau Pink'
'Russian Tea Rose'
'Bora Bora Nude'
'Fuchsia with Blue pearl'
'Tokyo a pink'

The Revlon lippies I got...

.

I had to stop myself after these because I would have bought about 5 more, lol I'm really loving these, I would love to start a collection!
.
I also picked up a gorgeous Milani lipstick in 'Attitude' which is a light raspberry color with gold frost...

And here are the swatches

Please let me know if you have any questions! I hope I'm doing a good job on the swatches!
