NOTD- NYE EDITION !!!


HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it's almost 2013? The year seriously flew by so quickly I just can't believe it's already over. Of course it's day/night to bring out anything glitter and sparkle. Of course you need to incorporate that into your nails so that's exactly what I did. I kept it very clean and simple with Bubble Bath by OPI as the main color. It's a very light subtle baby pink shade which won't clash with your outfit. To add the glitzy effect I applied a silver nail glitter that you find at BornPrettyStore 


I will be reviewing a bunch of nail glitters from this company in a future blog post. If you end up purchasing anything from BornPrettyStore I have a 10% COUPON CODE for you guys (HPCK31) to use if you guys want!!!

NYE Makeup



My New Years Eve makeup was one of my favorite looks. The camera flash didn't capture how glitter-y my eyes really were but here are two close up pictures of my eyes. On my lid I used a Sally Girl Glitter (Silver Lining) and extended it to my where my winged liner ended. On my crease I used a Global Goddess eye shadow (Shambala) and blended everything out. For my brow bone highlight I used Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette (Foxy). I always use my L'Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liner to  do the wing and used Miss Adoro lashes (#WSP). On my water line I used NYX Jumbo Pencil (Purple Velvet) and on the lower lash line I used  Urban Decay Vice Palette (Vice). It's a very simple but festive look for any New Year party that you end up attending. What kind of makeup did you end up doing tonight? Comment below!!!

After Christmas Sale FIND !!!


After Christmas sales are always the best. I was actually interested in buying this particular gift set for someone before Christmas but decided to get that person something else. This originally retailed for $17-18 and reduced to $9.99 but I have a Sally's Beauty Supply card and got it for $7. I thought was an amazing deal and couldn't pass it up. This was the last one and felt like it was a sign just to buy it lol. You get 5 China Glaze nail polishes plus a top/base coat for only $7 and usually for one China Glaze nail polish is $5. If you love nail polish, I definitely recommend you get to your nearest Sally's Beauty Supply and try to find this nail polish set. Depending on your store, the clearance bins are either located all the way in the back or at the front. 

The nail polishes that are included are called (left-right):
- Black Mesh (Crackle)
- Dorothy Who?
- Long Kiss
- Ruby Pumps
- Pure Joy
- First & Last

Comment below if you found any good after Christmas sale finds!!!

A day in the City...


The day after Christmas I went to the city to do some errands with my boyfriend. Not watching the weather channel, I didn't realize how cold it was going to be that day. Recently the weather has been very unpredictable. My boyfriend and I were done with our errands and made a stop on 5th avenue to do some shopping. We decided to stop by Rockefeller Center to see the tree. On the way there it started to snow and of course I had on flats (I WAS FREEZING) we took some photos and had lunch nearby. It was way to cold to be walking around like we usually do so we headed back home. If you're not from NYC you would know that the snow turns into slush the majority of the time. So when we got off the subway to our destination we noticed that the snow was sticking and already an inch on the ground. We had to walk to the car which was 3 LONG blocks down and of course in flats it was NOT fun. The snow storm got really bad that it was just horrible to drive on the highway. NOTE TO SELF AND EVERYONE: Check the weather channel before you leave the house lol.

    2. EBOOST Pink Lemonade- This item retails for $28 for a box of 20 powders. This is supposed to boost your mood, focus and immunity with natural ingredients. You just add this powder to water and drink up. I never tried any energy powder before but I definitely need this in my life lol.

    Nail Polish of the Day


    My nail polish of the day is a very simple one. I just painted everything one color, no accent nail today. I chose to use a Sinful Colors nail polish called Paris. You do need to apply many coats to get an opaque finish. This nail polish looks amazing when the sun hit it!!! This a great color to make your nails festive during this holiday season.

    The HEAT Movie Trailer HD


    "THE HEAT" is a buddy-cop movie starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (from "Bridesmaids"). Bullock plays uptight FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn, who is paired with testy Boston cop Sharon Mullins (McCarthy) in order to take down a ruthless drug lord. The hitch:neither woman has ever had a partner -- or a friend for that matter.

    Nail Polish of the Day


    Today's manicure is featuring winter-esc nail polishes. The main color I used is called Beach Front from Milani, it has slight silver shimmer integrated into the nail polish. I used a nail art nail polish from the brand Kiss and it's called Silver Glitter. I bought the nail art at a random beauty supply store long time ago so I don't know where they sell this particular brand.

    Nail Polish of the Day


    Today's manicure is one of my favorites. I used China Glaze nail polish in the color Fifth Avenue. Excuse the condition of the bottle lol I had this nail polish for quite some time. The accent nail is what makes the manicure in my opinion. I used a Wet N Wild nail polish in the color Sparked.

    Surprise Package

    I received a package from a subscriber/friend from YouTube Marily also known as Gordi1192. She sent me messages during the time when Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast and asking if I was okay since she knew I lived in New York. She's such a sweetheart and just said the kindest words during a very hard time. Her messages put a smile on my face and made my day better. She insisted on sending me a little something and seriously she didn't have to. I will be sharing what she sent me in this blog post.

    When I opened the box it felt like Christmas time especially since she wrapped everything individually. She wrote me the sweetest letter and also sent a Holiday photo of her and her family. My mother had also read the letter and brought her to tears. We placed her Holiday photo with all of our Christmas cards in the living room.


     These are all the goodies she sent me. She said in the letter that these are all of her favorite products and hopes that I will enjoy them as much as she does.

    I love Miss Adoro lashes!!! I never tried this style before but these would look amazing on I can just tell. I  mentioned in my November Favorites that I was running out of Miss Adoro lashes so I will definitely be using these soon.









    I always hear great things about this blush from other YouTubers. Its a blush from Wet N Wild in the shade Heather Silk. It's a beautiful mauve toned blush which is great for the fall/winter seasons. This blends very well into the skin and has awesome pigmentation. I'm a huge fan of Wet N Wild eye shadows now slowly expanding into their blushes.


    This is a single eye shadow from Cover Girl in the shade Champagne. I never owned any Cover Girl eye shadows before but I like the pigmentation of this one. It's a frosty champagne color which is perfect for highlight your brow bone or highlighting your inner corners.


    I love this Revlon PhotoReady Bronzer in the shade Bronzed & Chic. I used it  already and love how it shows up on my skin tone. It's great for people who have a lighter complexions.


    This is a translucent powder from the brand Physicians Formula. It's called the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder. I never tried anything from Physicians Formula so I'm excited to try this out and see how this works on my skin.

    This blush is also from Physician Formula and it's from the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting line. This is in the shade Rose which describes this color perfectly. When you apply this color to your cheeks it looks like someone pinched them to give it that rose-y flush.

     I'm SO excited when I saw this in the box!!!!! It's one of the limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoo's in the shade Barely Beige. I was on a hunt for this when it came out but I had no luck finding it. This will be 4th color tattoo I have in my collection.

     
    I love Biore Pore Strips, they are AMAZING!!!!! I'm so glad I received these because I finished the ones I had last month.

     
    I also ran out of cleansing towelettes and never tried this brand either. It's from Olay Total Effects Cleansing Towelletes and I always hear amazing things about Olay!!!


    This is the last product she sent me which is for the hair. It's a volumizing styling powder from the brand GOT2B and it's called Powder'ful. I always wanted to try this but could never find this product at the drugstore. This is a great product to use in your hair if you love big voluminous hair but WITHOUT teasing!!! I can't wait to test this out :D

    THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN MARILY <3 
    I will be sending you a thank you package soon!
