Shabby Apple $50 Gift Card Giveaway!

Shabby Apple $50 Gift Card Giveaway!

It's that time again, beauties! Shabby Apple is sponsoring another giveaway on my blog. If you've been a reader of mine for a while, you may of remembered a couple Shabby Apple giveaways in the past.

Shabby Apple is a website catered to providing feminine, flirty and sophisticated styles of clothing, appropriate for the office, special occasions, holidays and nights out! When I think of Shabby Apple, I automatically think of their beautiful dresses - what I personally like about the dresses is that each of the styles are very tasteful and daytime appropriate, which can actually sometimes be difficult to find in trendy stores geared at my age range (lots of clubbing attire). Although they probably have the biggest selection of dresses, they also stock shirts, skirts, swimwear (I love their bathing suits), shoes accessories and more!

The winner of this giveaway will receive a $50 gift card that can be used on anything on the Shabby Apple website.

Rules to Enter:

• "Like" Shabby Apple's Facebook Page. (click here to be re-directed)

Milani Brow Tint Pen Review, Photos and Swatches!

Milani Brow Tint Pen

Milani Brow Tint Pen ($5.99) is a quick-drying and long-wearing felt-tip eyebrow pen that is used for filling and shaping the brows. It has a fairly fine point for precise application.

The Milani Brow Tint Pen is available in (2) shades: Natural Taupe and Dark Brown.

Natural Taupe is a light brown that will work well for most light hair colors, while Dark Brown is about one shade deeper of a brown, with an ash-brown/moss green undertone (no red tones at all). Natural Taupe has a warm undertone, without looking too brassy.

The pigmentation is very sheer. The color is buildable to a light-medium, but the color will never reach opaque pigmentation. Because of the sheer color, it's excellent for darkening/adding color to sparse and fine brows.

I like applying Natural Taupe through my brows to deepen them, and go back with Dark Brown to areas that need a little more definition. The result is very natural, clean brows.

MAC Costa Chic Lipstick Review, Photos and Swatches!

MAC Costa Chic Lipstick Review

MAC Costa Chic Lipstick Review ($15) is described as a frosty, light coral. On the lips, it's very bright — borderline neon. I''m never really a fan of frost; especially in lipsticks, somehow I always feel like an overload of frost cheapens the product. I know many of us cringe at the thought of looking like we're rocking a trend from the past decade, but Costa Chic is an exception. It's one of the few frost finishes that I will wear — it looks fab when topped with a sheer pink lipgloss, and if you aren't feeling very daring, you can wear a similar coral (maybe MAC Everhip) and rub a little bit of Costa Chic on the middle of your bottom lip for some highlight and dimension.

I love mixing my bright corals with a pale shade such as MAC Myth Lipstick; it creates a bright, creamy, light watermelon pink. Love! You can really use any other shade, light pinks work well with it too!

Back from Vacation.

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! You may have noticed the lack of updates this past week because I was out of town from Friday thru Monday. George's family jam packed our weekend with activities and sight-seeing in Atlantic City, New Jersey and New York. The weekend flew by, but we all had a great time. It's always feels so good to be back home!

I'm so backed up in product reviews, so expect to see lots of new posts very soon.

For any requests, please e-mail me!
