China Glaze Nail Polish

Some people collect.. shoes, or like rocks. lol. But I honestly love Nail Polish I tell myself all the time, "No more nail polish Karen " and still end up leaving the store with like 4 polishes in hand. The nail polish isn't the ABSOLUTE best. But it's good. And I think it's worth it. Especially if you get them online at www.8ty8beauty.com or at www.sallybeauty.com they've got so many shades it's ridic. I like the cream the most, I don't like the Glitter or the Shimmer too much. I do have a few in the Shimmer though. In my opinion the shimmer goes on very streaky no matter how many coats you use. Before I was introduced to China Glaze. I used Sallys. Those honestly chipped within two seconds no matter what I did. But I still keep them because they're so easy to find. My China Glaze Collection isn't as big as I want. I'm still working on it. But this is what I got.

My sister went on a cruise and picked me up a few gifts, 
she knows how I love my nail polish so she picked this one up! It changes color in the sun, it's been raining here in Atlanta so I haven't got a chance to test it out and see it. I'm wearing it right now though. In hopes that It'll be sunny tomorrow and I can see it. When it goes on, it's this sheer pink/coral color. But in the sun, it turns purple. Isn't that crazy!??!!?

Drugstore Haul

I went to my local Rite Aid today and picked up some goodies. 
I normally don't wear foundation because I don't really need it too much. My skin is very dry, I actually have Eczema on my chin and neck. So I just try to moisturize and stay away from foundation. But everyone is talking about this fantastic foundation, so I decided to pick it up. If you couldn't guess it's the Revlon ColorStay Foundation. I got two different colors too. Cause I honestly couldn't tell being this is my first foundation which is my color. So I got the 250 Fresh Beige and the 320 True Beige both very similar, so I decided that if I was the darker shade I would give the lighter one to my sister, and if I was the lighter shade I would just save it
 for the summer when I get tan. 

I also picked up some Revlon Eyeshadows. I got a bunch of singles from their Matte Collection. And I got a few quads. The quads are absoultely amazing! They are so pigmented and so cute! You can use them however you like, or I do and don't really care. They're beautiful! 

The Quads I picked up are:
05 Blushed Wines
19 Wildflower
360 Starlight
10 Berry Bloom - Right now, I'm in love with this Quad, I want to use it every day!

The singles that I got are:
004 Luscious Lime
009 Rich Sable
007 Rivira Blue
001 Vintage Lace
005 Venetian Blue
008 Aubergine

And I've never used false lashes, But these were only a dollar! So I grabbed them.

Sister's Graduation

My little sister is so big now! I swear I still see her as like a 12 year old. She has her Graduation at New Birth Baptist Church. Lakeside High School. She's just so big, and I'm so proud of her!

Some like Mac...

But I love NARS. Right now I'm only buying NARS products. Not that I don't buy drug store products but I just went to Sephora the other day in Lenox Mall and just fell in love with the NARS section. I picked up a few things, well a lot of things:

Bronzer: Laguna
Blush: Deep Throat
Blush: Super Orgasm
Concealer: Ginger

Lip Gloss/Lip Stain: Turkish Delight/Sayonara
Lip Gloss: Chihuahua
Lip Gloss: Turkish Delight
Lip Gloss: Orgasm
Lip Gloss: Dolce Vita

Blush Brush #6
Bronzer Brush #19
Fluffy Blending Brush #13
Flat Concealer Brush #7

I absolutely love NARS products. Their concealer is the first concealer I've used that does not make my skin feel heavy. It blends so well and feels so lightweight. Their Blushes are absoulutely gorgeous. I can't say anything else about them. I love them. Their Lip Glosses are Amazing too! My favorite right now is Orgasm, it has a shimmery peachy color to it that is just to die for. I'm so in love with NARS.

Get to know me first.


-What's with the name? In my family, I've always been the motherly one. Grown. Mature as hell. Smart. Even though i'm the 3rd of 4. My older sister and older brother always come to me for advice, permission, and just to talk. (/This is a picture of my and my uncle, I love my family to death\)
-Talk about yourself! I'm dynamic, I'm loud, and I'm blunt. I say things and forget that sometimes my words can affect the person. I work like a dog, and study like a beast. Since school is out, i'm out. I road trip more than anyone. My short fuse can get me in trouble. I fight, I argue, and I always win. Once I get frustrated, I pack my shit and get the fuck on. (/ Me and my best friend, He's always down for a road trip with me. Right here we're in Vero Beach in about 89 degree weather. <3!\)
-So, What do you do? I LOVE to bloggg, it's a freak kind of thing. I talk and talk, so blogging is just a way of talking when noone is around to listen. 
-What do you like? As far as celebrities.. I'm in love with Channing Tatum. I'll have his babies any day. =) I really love to paint my nails. After a hard day at work, I just wanna kick up my feet and grab some China Glaze. Sometimes doing my own nails isn't good enough so I use my sister's fingers too. If it's not doing my nails, It's doing my hair. Curling it, straightening it, crimping it, styling it into a bun or ponytail. 
-So, are you a girly girl? If anything... I'm a girl. LOL. I do have emotions, I cry like a girl, I talk like a girl, I'm a girl. I like Make-up and I like pink. So I guess you can say I'm a girly girl. Don't get me wrong though. I have a strong jab and I can kick your ass.
-Do you play any sports? Not really. I mean I do have the height to be one kick ass basketball star but I just like to shoot for fun, I'm not good because I don't care. I want to play but not for real. I love football too, it's such a rough sport. Bowling is fun too (yes, I consider bowling a sport) I used to bowl a 7.. yes.. 7/300. But now I'm getting better. averaging about ..156/300 (/Me and my sister at Red Carpet Lanes in Duluth\)
-Do you have a job? Yes. I work at a gas station (QT). Most of the time I'm cleaning and organizing. The job is very intense, you make a lot of money but you do a lot of shit too. It's demanding. Working in retail is probably one of the most difficult things you can do, you need to have a strong mind you HAVE to have patience.
-What are you going to use this blog for? I'll most likely talk about what I'm doing, what I did, or what's new. I'll post pictures in every blog no matter what I'm talking about. I'll post pictures of hauls and pictures of hair.
