♥ GIRL FRIDAY ♥ MATERIAL GIRL ISSUE 14 PRETTY PRETTY STORY ♥

I just had to post this editorial as well as another one for the Saturday post because they're both so gorgeous! I think I should pitch them. I've never properly pitched them before (as a writer/contributor), but I think I should. Because I just love love their magazine. I love Lula, too...but upon research I think Lula ripped Material Girl off right down to the tag line...(Material Girl's is "MY LUXURY DIARY" and Lula's is "GIRL OF MY DREAMS"...they're not the same, but they're the same vibe. I still love Lula, but I love love Material Girl magazine, too.

Anyway...here is a lovely story from an older issue. But no matter, it's still lovely as ever. I'll look for the credits and add them when I find them. I'll be posting up another story that's sort of mermaid-y (!) from the current issue. Stay tuned!♥

♥ SOME QUICK FAVORITES AND WTH IS GOING ON ♥

 

Sorry for this quick post...just a snapshot of my currents favorites....do you see a theme here? There are more, but I threw these in my makeup bag and thought I'd put up quick post about them. I've been glued to CNN...I mean, what is going on? It feels like chaos when I see all the crazy crazy CRAZY stuff happening right now. I feel like it got really big and crazy really quick. I feel so bad for people who had to deal with those recent events. So scary. 

On another (happier) note, there are also some super cool things happening. I will share once I can and it's all done and I know it happened. There are also a couple of awesome guest blog posts coming up. But until then...here are my favorites right now...some of them. Please keep safe!!!! 

Above...

NYC nail polish in Plaza Plumberry...I still love this color. It looks like dark ink on my nails which I love because I'm a writer.

Below it is Revlon nail polish in Totally Toffee...I still love love love this, too. But I suspect there will be a new love soonish. 

Korres Pressed Compact Powder...This box is so pretty. Very chic. It broke at the hinge inside because the mirror props up I think. But I like it. And the powder is nice. Plus, they use good ingredients. 

LIPFUSION Micro-Injected Collagen Lip Plump...I love that this is an expensive lip pump but actually the color is amazing. It's so 70's chic. Oh, the color is DREAM. And it is.

Jemma Kidd Make Up School lipstick in Cleopatra. This is very very vampire. Very dark. And on the other side is a vitamin e stick, methinks. I don't know if they still make this. I have had mine for a long time. I interviewed her for Oyster when she first launched her makeup line. I love her stuff. I own a lot, but I don't use them all the time. 

Rimmel's Kate Matte Lipstick in the color 109. OMG I love this color so much. 

Back on top is a new addition...Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in Taupe. OMG this is amazing. It's the perfect taupe and it looks amazing on. It looks expensive. I think Rimmel is killing it. Their recent product additions have been as good as really high end stuff that I love love. The other ones are the same thing in Nude, which I also wrote about and the eyeshadow stick in Bad Girl Bronze, which I am addicted to. 

The next one is my current favorite eyeshadow palette. They're all so russet and rusty and chocolate. This was a random find at the dollar store!

The cool little compact is Becca's eye creme color...a very oyster-y pink/silver sheen color. Amazing. But the label has worn off. So I am guessing it's called Quartz. 

The last is a blush I love from Paula Dorf called Baby Face. The most perfect peachy matte blush. 

That's all for now...stay safe!!!!xxxx♥

♥ LIMITED EDITION MARC JACOBS 90'S INSPIRED DIET COKE BOTTLES! ♥

I wish I could find these "by the 1990's" limited edition Diet Coke bottles that Marc Jacobs designed! I wish I was on this project! I wish I was in Europe so I could go find them! :( Marc's an American designer...why are his bottles only available in Europe? ♥

♥ MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ RIMMEL'S SCANDALEYES ADDITIONS RULE! ♥

I had to test out a couple of the new Rimmel bits that have surfaced on every (good) beauty blog lately...I think Rimmel is killing it when it comes to drugstore cosmetics. 

I recently found both at the same shop, which shocked me because they've been sold out everywhere. 

The first item is the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow stick in Bad Girl Bronze. I had to try this after Ruth Crilly kept going on about it. And she has everything top notch (including Tom Ford) to test it against. This bronze color is a lot more rich and smooth and has a little bit of a reddish thing to it. It's super luxe looking on the eyes...it's very different from any of my other bronze eyeshadows. The fact that it comes in a crayon form and takes about 2 minutes to actually apply (I draw a somewhat generous amount on and then smudge it out with a little blending brush) makes it a true winner. That the color looks absolutely high-end as any Armani shadow would look makes it a double winner. 

i smudge mine out a lot (a lot!) more than this!

The next one is just a necessity that I haven't felt I could fork out a lot for from a high-end brand because it's just a....nude colored eyeliner pencil used to line the lower waterline if you need to open up the eyes or look a little more awake after a night of partying. Thanks to the genius of Rimmel, they have one now and it's amazing, compares to the Chanel HG nude pencil and only costs $5 or less at the drugstore! WINNER! (Now I just need to land the same one is Taupe!)

Take a shot at these two. They are well well worth it. I'm trying to locate their Apocalips products, too. They look amazing!♥
