notd: nirvana plus my watermark!!!

hello all! this week has been superbusy and i havent been able to blog...omg, its been pure torture!!!

anywho, i finally figured out how to watermark my photos, with the assistance of my boyfriend, youtube tuts and photoshop. also got some new nail polish and wanted to share.

sinful colors: nirvana(949)

This color is really different, for me at least. in the bottle it looks like a brown, but once applied to nails it looks brownish grey, like chocolate from the fridge that has frost on it....Its really neutral and no glitter.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, i guess photoshop didnt like my size when i exported them..still learning though.
anyways, thanks for checking this post out..

eotd...the first brown fall.

So today is my day off and what better to do then do some updating. this is my look from last night. I was inspired by the nice cool temperature and wanted something soft and elegant.

half smile...

no flash.

This is just a soft neutral look i decided to do on a lovely early fall day. I used mineralface fx and darling girl cosmetics shadows.
mineralface fx i used jedi which is a soft brownish color with a slight blue tint. This was used as my all over lid color. In my crease i decided to go with darling girl cosmetics in valiant. Its a gorgeous deep taupe-y shimmer. Its lovely. I also used darling girl cosmetics in dr pepper cake which to me looks like shimmery watered down dr pepper with gold/purple sparklies. This was used as my under eye liner. I also tend to use a shadow since pencil liner always smudges.

I topped this look off with 2 different black liners on my waterline: rimmel soft kohl liner in black and covergirls liquiline blast in black also. curled my lashes and and applied to coats of maybelline falsies in blackest black. I know its bad but the other way i can make this particular mascara look good is by pumping the wand. i hate doing it but i also hate having to waste mascara. oh well, live and learn.


I also used hard candy sheer envy primer, udpp, elf concealer in light, mineralface fx powder in medium light, elf bronzer in golden, and hard candy baked blush in pin up. On my lips i acutally just used some vaseline and a dollop of darling girl cosmetics holo-gloss in zombie. Its a pretty cranberry with blueish shimmer.

Thats all. I really liked this look and hope you do also.

 Thanks for checking in.

Garnier Fructis Herbashine Hair Color with Bamboo Extract - Review!!

So awhile back on facebook i saw a status update from Garnier USA for a free box of their Herbashine Hair Color with Bamboo Extract and decided to jump on a great offer. It was time to dye my hair anyways...i was tired of the copperness and wanted something different.

I got my coupon in the mail and went to town.

dontcha just love free stuff?

The color I decided on was  415 Soft Mahogany Dark Brown. Its a vibrant dark brown with the softest mahogany highlight in the sun. Its really pretty.

supplies: plastic bag, hair color, petroleum jelly.

ive read numerous articles that say to use the petroleum jelly around your hairline and on ears so that if you get haircolor on yourself, it swipes off with the jelly. This is the first time i have ever used this method and i cant believe i hadnt discovered it sooner. Ive been dying my hair since i was 16!! The bag was for helping the color soak in. Also never tried that before and i must say, it was very helpful. The bag also helped by giving my kids something to laugh at and keep the hair dye smell away.

The color ended up being a lot darker then i thought it was going to be but that could of had something to do with the color my hair was BEFORE dying it. My hair was a weird red, orange and brown color and since it is fall I wanted to go darker.

after color.

before color.

Review: Overall I really enjoyed my experience with this product. I have been using garnier products for about 2 yrs and have had nothing but great experiences. The hair color its self was simply to use and wasnt as strong smelling as other hair dyes are known to be. It took about 10 minutes for the color to develop. I usually leave it on a minute or two longer then the normal time. For me it seems this helps the color to last longer and have great results.
I well definately recommend this product for friends and will be purchasing again when that times comes (ill be going back to red).

Thanks for checking my review out. comments or suggestions are welcomed.
