The past couple of days..

Hey Guys!

I haven't posted, answered any questions on my formspring or comment box in the past few days because I was out of town for a few days and just came back yesterday. I ended up sleeping all day yesterday because I came down with a bad cold. I'm still feeling a little crummy today and will probably take a nap pretty soon.

George had to go to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for business.. and the same day we got there, happened to be the biggest blizzard in years. We still had a nice time though.. 

I was wearing MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation for the past few days and forgot how much I loved it. I haven't worn it in months.. but it is a really great foundation.

 This was when we were stuck in the blizzard. There were three trucks trying to make a path for us so we could get through. The snow was over a foot high.. and the winds were so heavy we could barely see in front of us.

We did get stuck on a side street for a little bit.. but my car was a champion and made it through. lol

This was when we got back to the hotel and parked in the garage. There was SO much wind it was blowing the snow everywhere.

George was checking out the view.. lol

Here I am exhausted...

Luckily the roads were all clear by the morning..

We went for lunch at a Japanese Restaurant called "Kiku". It was absolutely delicious! If you live in the Milwaukee area.. I definitely recommend you to try it out!

There are so many different menu choices and pictures of everything. That was my strawberry smoothie by the way.. delish!

Philadelphia Rolls.. Yum! How pretty is the presentation?

I had Chicken Teriyaki and George had beef over noodles. I don't think I've ever had such a big plate presented to me in my life. lol The food was soo good! Everything was very flavorful and fresh.

That's pretty much it! I'll get to any unanswered questions now and work on some reviews I've been meaning to post.. :) Talk to you all soon! <3

NOTD: Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel in #120 Cupid! My New Fav!!!

 You might be familiar with the all new Revlon "Top Speed" Nail Polishes that launched in 2011. These polishes are said to have a built-in top coat that will deliver "salon quality" nails with a smooth finish - that sets in only 60 seconds. There are 32 colors to choose from. There are lots of trendy colors that it was a little difficult to choose one, but I ended up choosing to purchase #120 Cupid. It seemed like a pretty purple toned pink - that's somewhat pastel.. but not TOO pastel for my skin tone.

I was surprised to see that the polish appears more purple toned than pink. It's like a pinked lilac. Also, the color is very vibrant.. so it will be a perfect spring and summer shade! I think it's a shade that flatters all skin tones and would look great on the toes and when you're sporting a tan. It's definitely one of those shades that makes your hands appear more tan and less dull. I absolutely love this color and I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing this all through the year! Also, the formula is excellent. It's very creamy and applies pretty opaque with one coat.. but 100% opaque with two coats. It does indeed dry in 60 seconds, as I applied my 2nd coat exactly a minute later and they were dry to the touch. And what I love most of all is that it has a high gloss finish. 

I'm just hoping this isn't one of those shiny polishes that will peel off in once piece after a couple of days! I'll update this post to let you know how it wears later in the week!

This is with 2 coats. (No base or top coat)

Illamasqua Obey Lipstick Review, Swatches & Comparisons.

Illamasqua Obey Lipstick

Illamasqua Obey Lipstick ($22) is described as a coral-pink with a matte finish. Since peachy-pinks are my favorite shades of lipstick to wear, Obey was my first choice out of all of the different shades Illamasqua has to choose from.

Obey is very vibrant and very opaque. Applied heavily, it looks neon, so I like only applying a thin layer and applying a little gloss on top. It's absolutely gorgeous!

I like the formula of this lipstick and even though it's a matte, it hasn't seemed to dry out my lips more than average. If my lips are already dry though, it does accentuate the dryness a little bit (which is normal with matte lipsticks.)
