"Mayzie Series!" Paint the Town Red Lips!

Hey... guys....

So.. Hate me all you want. I know. I haven't posted in forever. I have been so busy! With testing in school, and homework, and Seussical practices.. I have no free time! Ugh. I kinda have 3 or four posts lined up, but I haven't typed them up yet.. They're all in my mind... But without further adieu, Mayzie Lips!

I used:

A small lip brush; a red lip stain; red lip liner; red lipstick; and a sheer cherry gloss.

 A small lip brush,

Maybelline Color Sensational Cherry Pop Lipstain,

Covergirl Lipperfection Red Lipliner,

Covergirl Red Lipstick,

and Maybelline Shine Sensational Cherry Kiss Gloss, all equal....

Ta da!! :D I love red lips. :) They look so hot! Ah! I would have posted a full face pic, but for some reason I look like a ghost in all of them. My face is so pale. It's weird. I have no idea why it does that.. O.o But anyway.. Our play is in 3 days. Thursday. And to be blunt... We are screwed. But I'm being positive and HOPING we get it together. Prayers are excepted!

Thanks for reading!

"Mayzie Series!" Toes, and Shoes!!

Hi! So this is the first installment of the rather lengthy series of posts about my Mayzie costume! This is all about the toes, and my shoes! Here we go!

 Above: Zoya: Nidhi- applied two coats; direct sunlight :)

 Shade :)

Flash!,
Nidhi is a very bright, tomato-colored, red, that is chock full of tiny golden flakes that sparkle when the light hits them :) It's really very pretty, and super Mayzie-like! And here's my toes and shoes together!

I'll do something else soon! Promise!

Thanks for reading!

Haul: Walmart! (Picture Heavy!)

So, a couple of days ago I went to Wally World, and thought I could splurge on a few items. :) Here's the nail polish:

 Left to right: Claire's: Bored/Excited; Pure Ice: Celestial; Busted; Oh Baby!; Claire's: Flirty/Shy; Bon Bon: A random sparkly/holo one! :)

Celestial, Busted, Oh Baby! Okay, all of these are gorgeous, and I spent a ton of time trying to get a good picture of the sparkles, and here are the best I got:

Celestial: Direct sunlight, and in my lightbox.

Busted: Lightbox, and direct sunlight.

Oh Baby!: Direct Sunlight.
Aren't they pretty? I love them :) I wore Busted for a few days, and it was hot! :D

 Bon Bon:.. something... There isn't really a label with a name... Oh well! Look at the amazing-ness of this label though! The color is nice too. Would look nice over black..

Direct Sunlight :)

Claire's: Bored/Excited, and Flirty/Shy. These are color-changing polishes, but I've never seen them do anything. When I use one, we will see! This is a coral/putty color, and a royal blue/teal. :)
And on to the makeup!

In a circle: Kiss Everlasting French Nails; Revlon Beyond Natural False Lashes; Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse; Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer; Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstain

Kiss: Everlasting French- Medium Length, number.. 53241 EF06, up in the right corner. I plan to use these for Mayzie nails, but I will most likely do a test-run, since there are 28 ( Why?) nails. These say they are guaranteed not to chip, and last a week.. We shall see.....

Revlon: Beyond Natural False Lashes. These are the Ultra Lightweight, and number.. 91169, I think. I have a bone to pick with these.. See how it says "Includes: 1 Pair of Professional.." blah, blah? Well, they mean it. There isn't any glue!! WTF? How am I supposed to put them on dummies!! Ugh. Just want you to have to make a separate purchase... :P These are going to be "Mayzie Lashes". :)

Maybelline: Dream Matte Mousse- Creamy Natural, Light #5. I. Love. This. Stuff. It really is a mousse, and it makes my skin feel so soft after I put it on! And it makes even my nose (super oily. I hate it.) look matte! Love love love. I am going to use this for my foundation when I do Mayzie. :)

Hard Candy: Sheer Envy Primer. Ultra light formula is right! It's amazing! The reason I got this was so my makeup would stay longer, and it really helps! This will be under my foundation as Mayzie.

Maybelline: Color Sensational Lipstain: Cherry Pop.The typical red lip stain. Wonderful in every way. It says long, and my lips look SO full when I wear this! This will be part of my "Mayzie Lips" post. :)

And NOW the skin care items!

Left to right: Clean and Clear: Blackhead Eraser Cleansing Mask, Finishes Pore Perfecting Cleanser; Finishes Mattifying Cleanser.

The mask. This stuff is so cool! It has about the same color, texture, and smell of a Head and Shoulders shampoo, but I love it! The second you put it on, it tingles to let you know its working. Then you leave it on for 5 minutes, and wash it off. Wah-lah! Blackheads are gone! :) I also like that I look funny with is on, lol!

Pore Cleanser. This stuff is cool! It smells amazing, and really gives me that sense of clean after I wash with it. Plus it has little sparkles, with is super cute!

Direct sunlight. That's not glare. That's little gold sparklies!

Mattifying Cleanser. Not much to say here.. I LOVE the packaging. I can't get over that. Its so cute! The product itself, is a thick-ish white cream. It foams when you rub it in though. I like the texture of this stuff. It makes me smile, for some reason... It feels familiar? Huh.. Anyway, it makes my face nice and shine free. :) <3

Good news! That's all! This is one of the longest posts I've ever done, and it made me realize, I love blogging. Saying what I think about something really made me feel special! Also, I have a couple Mayzie posts lined up, so as soon as I can get some free time, they will be up! Eeee! I'm excited! For those of you who know me, the play will be on May 26th, at SMS. I dont know what time yet though. I'll let you know!

Thanks for reading!

Essie- Knockout Pout!

Hi all! :)

Today I am showing Essie- Knockout Pout from the summer 2010 collection. :) This is a nice, coral, pinky neon. :)

 

I love this color. :) Honestly, I think my bottle is faulty though because on all of the other blogs, I am seeing a bright, creamy neon pink, but mine looks more like coral! Not at all like I expected it. Also, the formula was horrible. This was five (!) coats of polish! FIVE! It didn't need it for opacity though, I needed it for everything to be evened out. It was streaky, and watery, and every time I would move my fingers, the polish would run and pool all over my cuticles. Needless to say I won't be using this again for a while. If I want a good neon pink, I will turn to one of my Color Clubs, or China Glazes, or Orlys. :) This is a neon so it does dry matte, so if you want it to be glossy, you'll need a topcoat.That will be all for today! But just for fun.. It matched my new blush (a random Physician's Formula btw.) perfectly!
