**Nail Polish Haul

Hey guys!! So I went a little nail polish crazy the other day. I finally got to try out Sinful colors nail polish which i bought from Walgreens. I really love their full range of colors. They were only $1.99 USD each so thats a great deal. They are even cheaper then the Forever21 love and beauty nail polishes which are $2.80 USD. In addition i picked up the new China Glaze Crackle polishes. I only got three colors out of the six i believe. I got the black, purple and hot pink one. I have to warn you this post is quite heavy on pictures.... but who doesnt LOVE pictures =) ENJOY!!

**Mac Viva Glam Gaga 2

Hello everyone!! how is everyone? i hope everyone had a decent if not great valentines day. I sure did, i spent it with my best friend and we drove all over LA. We even just so happen to find ourselves in Westwood village, which is right next to the UCLA campus. We went there to get ice cream and cookies at this shop called Diddy Riese. It just so happened that there was a movie premier at the FOX theater for Johnny Depp's new movie RANGO... and YES i did see Johnny Depp he was literally a couple of feet away from me. What a hansom fellow he is =) That totally made my Valentine. No to mention I was at the Americana in Glendale and bumped into Justin Chon who was Eric in the movie TWILIGHT. What an eventful Monday i had. 

In other news, yesterday (Thursday) was the release of the new viva glam GAGA 2 lippie. I was so excited for it to come out, i went out and purchased it and i must say I am loving it. It is a great nude. It looks a lot better with the lipgloss that came out with it though, so i suggested purchasing that as well if you can. I didnt get a chance to purchase the lipgloss but i may in the future. I also purchased a paint pot from the Cham pale collection in Let Me Pop which i am also in love with. I think i'm going to go back and get Vintage and Gunmetal, assuming they have any left. 

Mac paint pot Cham pale collection in Let Me Pop $16.50 USD

**Room Tour.. say what?!

Just a quick room tour, it was originally made for a contest entry for Nikki. I decided to post it up on my blog as well if you guys were a bit curious as to how my room looked and how its set up. It isn't much but it is what it is. My room is quite small, but I've learned to adapt to it. I'm a little person so I don't need that much space... although a bigger closet would be great, that's one thing i would like to upgrade. Visit Nikki's youtube here and subscribe, she is awesome. Also, if you have a chance visit my youtube as well link is down below, and subscribe =) Thanks for tuning in!!

**January Favorites 2011

It's January favorites time!! I know its Feb. 8th... So im 8 days late, but better late than never RIGHT. So here they are. It's not much, but it's what I've been using lately. Do you guys have some favorites that are the same as mine?! =)

2.) Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on pencil

3.) I.D. Bare Minerals foundation in Golden Medium

4.) Mac lipstick in Viva Glam V

**Urban Decay: Naked Palette

I know I posted up a youtube video on a quick review on the Naked Palette previously on this blog, but i wanted to show you guys swatches as well. My camera recently went missing, but i found it and now I am able to take pictures. This is indeed long over due, but better late than never. I will also go a little bit more in depth with my opinion on it. 

This is how it comes packaged. Along with the Naked palette it came with a mini UD primer potion.

from left to right: virgin, sin, naked, sidecar, buck and half baked.

My camera and the lighting just doesnt do its justice on the color, but the colors are actually A LOT better in person. Like the half baked is more of a gold shimmer. Virgin, Naked and Buck are more on the matte side while Sin, Sidecar and half baked are more on the shimmer side.

Left to right: virgin, sin, naked, sidecar, buck, half baked and smog

Left to right: Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep and Gunmetal. All the eyeshadows are highly pigmented and they apply on so smoothly. I absolutely love this palette because it has a little bit of everything, from the lights and naturals, to the browns and bronze to the more darker shades for a smokey eye look. You can create many looks with just this one palette. If i were to bring just one palette with me, it would be this one. It's just so versatile. 

Left to right; Darkhorse, toasted, hustle, creep and gunmetal

The palette also came with a dual eyeliner. It was the 24/7 glide on pencils. It came in a black called ZERO and a brown called WHISKEY. I love the eyeliners. They really do glide on so smoothly. So it's easy to apply and easy on the waterline and what not. They are more on the soft side, but i dont have to much of a problem with that. They are pretty long lasting. I use the ZERO for tightlining my eyes and I have used both the black and brown for my waterline. I LOVE THEM. I will definitely buy more of these in different colors in the future. 

This is just a swatch of the eyeliners. Left is ZERO and right is WHISKEY.

Hope this review and swatch post will help you guys in making your decision on buying this product. I did purchase this myself, and I would definitely recommend this product to you guys. It is a great buy. Although it may be on the pricey side, since i did purchase this on the Sephora website for $48.00 USD, but i thought it was well worth my money. 

**Mini Accessory Haul

I went back to the Forever21 nearest to my house in hopes they would have the same selection of jewelry as the one i went to in my previous mini haul, but was disappointed to find out that they really didnt have much of a selection. *i was sad haha. I did manage to buy a couple of things... and i also found out that the lady who rang me up forgot to put in one of my guitar necklaces!! *i was pissed. I paid for it too, says so on the receipt, pay attention people haha. I also got a necklace from aeropostale. I thought it was really cute and edgy.

The teddy bear necklace was to die for. I HAD to buy it, it was just the cutest thing ever. They had it in black as well, maybe i shall purchase that one too, but i couldn't say no to the white bear. I think its safe to say it's my current favorite necklace. It was $7.80 USD. The bird necklace and the earring set were both $1.50 USD each. I love a bargain. 

**Mini earring's HAUL

I have recently been obsessing over earrings lately... it could be because of how cheap I'm getting them for but I just cant help myself. All these earrings i got for $1.50 USD each and that isn't the sale price, THATS HOW MUCH THEY ARE. What a great buy right. I'm probably going to go back to Forever21 and purchase some more earrings and rings for future giveaways. Aren't they adorable. If you have a Forever21 near you, you should really go check out the jewelry section. Get em while they last =)

My favorite ones! Minus the owls, i bought those for my best friend, since she loves owls.
