FOTD with MAC Antique Green Pigment!

I wasn't going to post this because It looked 1,000 times better in person. I could not get any decent pictures. Taking flash pictures always makes my eye shadow not look blended. But whatever. Here is what I wore on my eyes today. My MAC Antique Green pigment never gets any love so I decided to wear it today. It seems to irritate my eyes though so I may have to swap it out.. which stinks because its one of my favorite pigments. :'(

Covergirl Lash Blast Length Mascara Review!

Covergirl Lash Blast Length Mascara

Ever since I tried the Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara, I have been HOOKED. I wear it ever single day and it's probably my favorite drugstore mascara. When I heard that they came out with a Lash Blast LENGTH, I had to get my hands on it. Covergirl Lash Blast is a very good volumizing mascara, but it doesn't do much for length. Very Minimal. 

So, my thoughts were: This mascara is going to be exactly the same as Last Blast but PLUS length! 

Well, I was wrong. It does only length. And really, it didn't do anything for me. It barely made my lashes any longer. Maybe a microscopic half a millimeter? It is also very dry.. in comparison to the original Lash Blast. You don't get as much product on your wand. I seriously had to sit and apply this to my lashes for over 10 minutes and I had barely any length or volume. Sad. *sigh* BUT, on the plus side, it looks nice when I apply a coat of the CG Length and apply a coat of the CG Original over it. I do notice a tiny difference (which is similar to when I apply a lash base). The formula also didn't flake, smudge or go under my eyes.. which is a plus. I suppose if you like a really natural mascara, you might like this. But if you're looking for something dramatic like me, this is not it. Also, what may work for you may not work for me. 

The wands in comparison to each other. As you may notice, the CG Length had a thinner brush and wand, and there is a lot less product on the wand.


Have you tried this mascara? What are your thoughts?

NOTD: OPI Ate Berries in the Canaries from the España Collection!

I took a trip to ULTA yesterday and picked up "Ate Berries in the Canaries" from OPI's Espana collection. For some reason I thought OPI was buy two get one free, but it wasn't. So I only got one nail polish. :( I had a tough time choosing between Ate Berries.. or No Spain No Gain, which is a little bit of a deeper purple. Ate Berries in the Canaries is a gorgeous fuschia. Pretty much the color or Barney the Dinosaur. lol I was worried it's a little too summery, but I think it's deep enough for a fall color.

My cuticles are SO nasty!! I have to start applying Vaseline to them daily.. I wash my hands a million times a day so they are so dry and cracked. I got these little gems from Target for $1 in those dollar bins when you walk in the store. You can use them for nails or some fun looks with makeup :)

MAC Fleshpot Lipstick Review + Comparison to MAC Myth Lipstick!

MAC Fleshpot Lipstick

MAC Fleshpot Lipstick is an ultra-pale pastel pink with a satin finish. The satin formula isn't my favorite - although the color is very opaque, I find the formula to be drying on my lips. Also, because the finish is almost matte, I find it to look too dull on my lips, so I always top it off with some lipgloss.

It's a good color to use for mixing, and toning down other colors. Combined with a clear lipgloss, it reminds me of MAC Underage Lipglass.

It resembles MAC Myth very closely - on the lips, I can barely tell the difference. Side by side, Myth is more peach, whereas Fleshpot is more pink. Neither flatter my skintone when applied alone, but they work well lightly patted on the lips, with a pink lipgloss on top.

MAC Fleshpot is a MAC Pro shade and can only be purchased at a MAC Pro store. I believe you can also purchase on the phone, by contacting customer service.
