OPI Muppets Most Wanted Collection - Swatch/Review - Chillin' Like a Villain

Hey Gals. I have been on a search for a nude nail polish suitable for my skin tone and I finally found it!! On my recent Ulta visit I fell in love with "Chillin' Like a Villain". This is the only neutral shade from the collection. It's a creamy nude with a hint of peach. I think this shade will compliment any skin tone and it's perfect to wear for Spring. With a light hand I applied 3 coats for an opaque finnish.

Eyeglasses by Dolce & Gabanna

Hello gals. Like my new spectacles?? haha. I decided to ditch contact lenses for awhile and give my eyes a break. These are Dolce and Gabbana prescription eyeglasses that I purchased at Target Optical. I was pleasantly surprised of the large amount of trendy eyeglasses they had in stock. If you are in need of a pair I suggest you stop by your nearest Target. Oh and there are always sales going on too!!

*NEW* Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Polish

 Hey! Have any of you gals tried these new nail polishes by Revlon?? I featured these lovely polishes in my January Favorites video. Check it out on my channel if you get the chance.

I applied 3 coats to get a nice opaque finnish. Gorgeous color isn't it??? The scent reminds me of Men's cologne. It's smells nice.

All you need is 2 coats for this one. For some reason the scent doesn't smell like anything other than nail polish. I think it was supposed to have a floral scent?




Which one is your favorite? I love them both. If you are sensitive to fragrance don't worry because the scent on these nail polishes doesn't last very long. Maybe an hour or so.

 I realized I need to add more Spring/Summer nail polishes to my collection. Any suggestions???

XO.

*NEW* Urban Decay Basics NAKED 24/7 Glide-On Double Eye Pencil

Hello Gals! I recently went to Sephora, you know to "browse", and I ended up purchasing this new eyeliner by UD. I have tried their eye liners in the past so I am aware of how amazingly pigmented and long wearing they are. When I saw that they had new double-ended ones that compliment each of their eye shadow palettes I just had to get one!

Venus (soft, off-white shimmer)
Crave (dark, brown-black matte)

This eyeliner is the partner for the Naked Basics palette, which suprisingly I do not own. Believe me I wanted to add this to my palette collection but I already have enough matte neutral eye shadows. Out of the four liners I picked this one because of Venus (soft, off-white shimmer). I love to use it on my waterline to give me that bright-eyed, I had 8 hours of sleep, effect. It looks so pretty on and you can also use it on the inner corner of your eyes and to highlight your cupid's bow. Crave (black-brown matte) is amazing as well. It's not too dark so it's perfect to use for daytime.

Will you be trying out any of these liners??? Let me know!!!!

Last, I used "Buzz" to blend out any harsh edges.

Easy Peasy. ; )

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Hey Gals! How is everyone doing?? I am happy to show you my favorite purchase for this month. Surely you have seen this everywhere on YouTube but I still wanted to post a blog all about my new pride and joy. Haha. Oh and please excuse my cat's tail. She always likes to be in pictures and in my videos if you haven't noticed already. ; )

Retail price $52

Ta-Da! Check out these 12 NEW rose-hue neutral eyeshadows. 

(left to right)

Strange (pale neutral pink matte-satin)
Dust (pale metallic pink shimmer w/iridescent micro-glitter)
Burnout (light pinky-peach satin)
Limit (light dusty rose matte)
Buzz (metallic rose shimmer w/silver micro-glitter)
Trick (light metallic pinky-copper shimmer w/tonal micro-sparkle)
Nooner (medium pinky-brown matte) 
Liar (medium metallic mauve shimmer)
Factory (pinky-brown satin)
Mugshot (metallic taupe shimmer w/slight pink shift)
Darkside (deep taupe-mauve satin) 
Blackheart (smoky black matte w/rosy red micro-sparkle)

The first 3 shades are very light and not too visible on my olive skintone however I find them to be useful when blending out harsh edges. "Dust" has the most micro-glitter out of all 12 shades. I have to say I am not too fond of this one because it is on the powdery side plus there is a lot of fall out. What I have been using the most so far is "Burnout", "Limit", "Buzz", and "Darkside" to create an everyday neutral eye look. Nothing too glamorous.  I can't wait too try a smokey eye look using "Blackheart" which is amazing black with a twist!! Overall I LOVE this palette and would recommend this to all my fellow olive skin toned gals out there.

Let me know what you think! And please remember to check out my YouTube channel for new beauty videos!!!

Thanks.
