FOTD: Hot Pink

Yesterday was my Dad's Birthday and we were originally going to have family over and have dinner at home but last minute plans got changed and we ended up going out to my uncle's restaurant. We had so much fun and ate like crazy. I had bought a hot pink sweater from Forever 21 a while ago that I was dying to wear and last night was the perfect night to wear it. It was bright and kept me warm all night. I based my look according to the sweater and finally used my Urban Decay Naked2 palette for the first time. I hope you guys enjoy the look and let me know what you think about it :)

Holiday Gift Idea's 2011

The holiday Season is here and it's time for you to give your loved one's the most amazing beauty products and gift sets out for the season. So I'm here to share with you some gift ideas. The things mentioned here would make a perfect gift for a Beauty Addict like my self :)

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette or Naked 2

This is a must have for anyone who loves make up and it's the best selling palette of all time. This palette is suitable for any skin tone since it comes with 12 neutral eyeshadows that range from light to dark. If you or anyone your buying the gift for already has the naked palette don't worry because now Urban Decay is out with Naked 2 the second edition to the Naked palette which also has 12 neutral eyeshadows and would be a perfect gift for someone who loved the first naked palette.

2. Wild & Chic Best of Make Up For Ever Kit

If you are new to Make Up For Ever this would be the perfect gift for you. Since the set includes the company's Top 6 best selling products in which 3 are full size products.  The kit is valued at $55 and to me that's a great deal because if I went and bought these products separately it would cost me a lot more. The color's included in the kit are universal shades so they will flatter anyone who try's them. The set includes: HD Primer, HD Powder, Aqua Eyes in 0L, Smoky Lash in Black, Aqua Cream in #13, Lab Shine #S4

3. Wild & Chic Aqua Cream Collection by Make Up For Ever

If you are looking to splurge and want some high quality product then this is the palette for you. If you own any of the Aqua cream's you know how well they wear. The Aqua Creams are 100% waterproof and once you put them on they don't budge. This palette contains 10 different shades of the Aqua Creams and also comes with a brush. The shades in this palette are more on the neutral side so you will get good use out of them. Aqua Creams can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks. This is by far my favorite gift palette out of all the ones mentioned in this post. I adore my Aqua Creams and wear them pretty much every day. This set is priced at $175 you save $45 by buying this set instead of buying each aqua cream separately. Now that's a great deal :))

Dark and Glittery

I cut my nails short for the winter and have been obsessing over deep dark blue shades. I came across this color from Illamasqua called Phallic. Let me tell you about this blue I have seen many blue polishes but this one to me is unique. My pictures don't do it justice and you really have to see the polish in person. It's a dark blue with a blue/purple duocrome glitter. The glitter is not chunky at all it's more like sparkle/shimmer. It's beautiful and I think my favorite for the winter. I did my nails with this polish for the week. It's beautiful on its own but I wanted to add a little pizazz to my nails so I added Milani -Gem to my ringer finger. This is another great fun polish and perfect for the holidays or for anytime you want to add a little something extra to your manicure. It's also a great dupe for Deborah Lippmann Birthday cake. So if you don't want to spend major $$ and get a similar or almost the same look then I suggest you pick up Milani- Gem. What is your favorite polish for the season? Also let me know if you have any other favorite dark blue polishes for me to try.
