Favorite stuff for March 2010!

How are you ladies doing? So, I'm excited about Easter coming up! :P I just love spending time with family, creating baskets for my boys and eating the food, candy and sweets! Anyways, this month has really flown by....For me it was a very busy month, I moved into my new home and was overwhelmed by all the mess that resulted....On a personal note, I still can't believe how much time has gone by so fast, I'm nearly due already, I just have 5 weeks left and there is still much to be done, but I love shopping at the last minute :)

My March faves aren't much but I did pick out some of the most grabbed for items in my makeup box. Anywho, let's start already!

Avon MAX Moisture cream for night-

It leaves your skin soft and moist, but never oily....it has a great light scent and is comforting.

MAC 'Blooming Lovely' lipstick

I thought that I could have something that looked like it but I was wrong, Blooming Lovely is unique and best of all it's Amplified, love it :)

MAC Blush in 'Peachtwist'

My first ever MAC blush, I can never get tired of wearing this color, it's the only blush that is perfect for my skintone and is always super pigmented, so a little goes a long way.

Maybelline Dream matte powder

The best setting powder there is at the drugstore...I love how it looks on my skin, flawless, airbrushed, perfection :)

Maybelline Line Stiletto

I'm amazed at how much this little pen has lasted me....I bought it a few months ago and it is still fresh and black as ever :)

Essie nail polish 'Lilacism'

I was skeptical if I'd like this color but once I put it on I fell in love. The color is perfect, not too pale and not too purply, I needed 2 coats and 1 extra just to be sure, if you love Essie you'll love this color!

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!!

Lush & Stuff: Things to get for my new home!

Since moving into my new home I've been dreaming of the day I can have a relaxing bubble bath.....I could not achieve one at my old home, the tub was too small....So our new luxurious bath tub needs to meet with me for an appt, ha!...I need to slip me one of those sweet smelling Bath Bombs from Lush....yes! Finally I get to shop at Lush and enjoy the products! So I've compiled a list of things I must get for my new home.....

Also, if there is anything you recommend, let me know!

Oh and apothecary jar to store these in, great idea I stole from Tiffany of MakeupbyTiffanyD :) I love her!

What would I do without Aubrey of youtube's Fafinettex3 and her great ideas? Ever since I saw her Jewelry collection and storage video I can't get over the cute mirror/Armoire she had....

...this would be perfect for my jewelry madness....

and it got alot worse : /
So I'm getting the black one from QVC.com. I do have my jewelry organized but seriously it is in 3 different places! I would love to just have it in 1 place!

More organization I need:

Nail polish collection is getting way out of hand, so I found this seller on ebay and for $25 I'm getting a 90 ct. NP rack that you mount on the wall, this will be a great space saver....You should see my nail polishes at the moment, some are here some are there.....yeah a mess : D

Hey girls, I'm looking for a nice and cute vanity since I got rid of my old one. I'm currently using my dining table to do my makeup :(

Where have you seen some pretty ones?

I got a few ideas from efurniturehouse.com....yeeeeeah, my makeup is all over the place too, lol!

On a different note, I'm getting rid of my Juicy Couture perfume, does anyone want it? I'll gladly sell it for $20, I've only sprayed it about 4 times and honestly I don't like the smell....maybe it's my pregnancy?

Let me know!

Anywho, if you want it please let me know in the comment section, remember to give me your paypal email....US buyers only since I can't ship liquids overseas....

Have a great week everyone :)
