Spotted at Walgreens: New Revlon Nail Polish Trios in Garden Party and Tea Party "Bloom with Captivating Color"

9:24 AM


Look at these adorable, bright, mini-size shades of Revlon colors!  This limited edition collection consists of two trios: one set in cool tones (Garden Party) and one set in warmer tones (Tea Party). 


The cool set:  This has a pale sky blue, an iridescent chunky glitter, and a bright apple green.  The blue looked like it had the slightest shimmer undertone, but I really doubt it would be apparent once applied.  The green was a creme.


The warm set consists of an almost neon coral, a really pretty warm "greige" and a bright berry pink.  All three appeared to be cremes in this set.

The retail was $7.99.  These are mini's, not full sized products.  Have you seen these yet?

EOTD Smokey

Rimmel Glam Eyes "Night Jewel" and EOTD: Rimmel Night Jewel, Milani Lilly White and Milani Silver Charm

7:23 AM

Back at the beginning of the year, Rimmel put out some new displays for their Glam Eyes sets and singles.  There were eyeshadow quads and single shadows, like Night Jewel (shown above).  I'm typically pretty happy with Rimmel's products, although I have rarely used their eyeshadows, so I thought I'd give this smokey pewter color a whirl!

Night Jewel is a deep pewter with almost iridescent shimmer strewn throughout.  This is a very frosty-frost, and the pigmentation is quite nice as well.  There are two pictures below - one with a flash and one without.  I think you can see the various iridescent shimmer in them below, especially if you click to enlarge the photo.

I swatched this shadow without any primer, using the sponge applicator in the package.  Like I mentioned above, this is very pigmented.  The color is creamy and smooth, as well, not chalky at all, making blending and application a breeze. 


Seeing as this shade is a frosty pewter color, what better to do than a smokey look.  Something quick and simple below, using the Rimmel "Night Jewel", Milani's Baked Eyeshadow in "Lilly White" and "Silver Charm".



What I used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Milani "Silver Charm" - inner corners
Rimmel "Night Jewel" - outer corners, crease
Milani "Lilly White" - highlight
Physician's Formula Gel Eyeliner Trio - black
NYC Show Time Mascara - black

So, have you tried any of these Rimmel Glam Eyes shadows?  Which is your favorite color?

An Easter-y NOTD: Ulta Professional Nail Lacquer "Into the Limelight"

10:22 AM


I'm so excited that spring is right around the corner.  Unfortunately, the weather we've had here in the Midwest has been anything but accommodating to the change of the seasons.  Cold, damp and rainy has been the name of the game recently, and it doesn't look to be letting up anytime soon!  Like they say, "In like a lion...".

Well, for Easter, I wanted to wear something bright, but springy, so I chose Ulta's Professional Nail Lacquer in "Into the Limelight".  Talk about a beauty!  This is a bright lime green with silver frost (and I mean FROST!).  It's absolutely gorgeous.  I would consider this a metallic more than anything else. 



I tried under numerous lights to get this color to be true, but couldn't.  The flash totally washed out my hands, although the nail color in the thumb above is probably the most accurate.  I picked this up a couple of years ago and am just getting to it!  I'm not sure if the color is available in stores or not, as I couldn't find it online.  It must have been a seasonal shade.

The formula was nice - smooth and evenly applied.  I used two coats, but probably could have opted for one more. 

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend!  Happy Spring!
