FOTD: Blue Lagoon (Ft. Sephora Ariel Palette)

Greetings from the Dark Side ^_^

I created a simple blue look using the Sephora Ariel Storylook Palette~ This is an easy way to wear blue that does not look super crazy or in your face. Or maybe it does look crazy and I'm just in denial xD

First Impression: Sephora Ariel Storylook Palette

Greetings from the Dark Side! 

I am excited to show you a first look of the new Sephora Disney Storylook Palette. This is Volume 3 and it is based on Ariel from The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies, and the Hans Christian Andersen version is my favorite fairy tale. So as you could imagine, I was very thrilled to see Sephora release an Ariel collection. So without further adieu, here is my first impression of the Ariel Storylook Palette~

If you have seen the Cinderella or Jasmine palette, you have an idea of the packaging is like. The palette comes inside a box. The outer box is really cute actually, and you can see it in the photo below:

Empties #7

Greetings from the Dark Side :D

I have some products that I used up in the month of May to show you! I like to see what I have used up and how I feel about those products. So if you want to see some mini reviews for these products, keep reading.

1. Seche Vite Top Coat
This stuff is awesome! I really love how shiny it makes my nails look. I have heard that Seche Vite has ingredients that are bad for you though, so I decided to finish this one up and find another alternative. I would repurchase this but INM Out the Door works just as well and it does not contain the main bad ingredients that Seche Vite does.

2. Julep Cuticle Oil
I've had this stuff for a while now, and I really like it! My favorite thing about it is that it smells like lemongrass. It keeps my cuticles looking really nice too! However, this stuff if expensive. I have since moved on to using No Lift Nails Avocado Cuticle Oil. It smells good, works great, and it much cheaper!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 'Butterscotch'

Greetings from the Dark Side~!

Isn't it so difficult to find a really good yellow nail polish? I have been hunting for the perfect yellow nail polish for some time now. My search lead me to this Sally Hansen nail polish in the color 'Butterscotch'.

Butterscotch is a muted buttery yellow cream. For a yellow, it has a really great formula. It is opaque in two coats and it is not streaky or sheer. It did not chip on my nails for a week either! 

Is this the perfect yellow nail polish? It could be. It has an amazing formula and staying power. However, for me, it is not the perfect yellow. Why? Well it just is not bright enough. Like the name suggests, this is a butterscotch yellow. This meas it is not a sunny yellow, but rather a yellow with a slight brown/caramel undertone. I am looking for a bright sunny yellow, and this is just not it. But if you want a mellowed out yellow that is not the center of attention, this would be really perfect!

Indie Nail Polish Haul: HARE, Lac Attack, Glitter Daze, Pahlish, and More

Greetings from the Dark Side!~

For the past month, I have been buying quite a few different indie nails polishes. I have been a little obsessed to be honest! Indie polishes are just so awesome!!!

1. Lac Attack Magical Musings Collection
Harry Potter inspired nail polishes! Enough said xD
I have been wanting since they came out, and I finally had the chance to wishlist it and get the entire collection~! Aren't they gorgeous?!

HARE Polish 'Dauphine of Decadence'

Greetings from the Dark Side~

Here is another HARE from my collection ♥ I absolutely adore HARE nail polishes!! Definitely one of my favorite nail polish brands~

Dauphine of Decadence is a mix of gold square glitter, gold circle glitter, and white circle glitter in a transparent base. This is a glitter polish and it works best over other nail polishes. The glitter is very smooth and easy to work with, and it adds a beautiful accent to the nails.

I used one coat of 'Dauphine of Decadence' over two coats of Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Smile'. You can definitely build this glitter up to opaquely cover the nail, but it would take at least two more coats.

FOTD: Utopia

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Today, I will be showing you what the Makeup Geek loose pigment in Utopia (from my latest haul) looks like. This is one of the first times I have used this pigment, and I am still trying to find the best way to use it. In the today's look, I used a flat brush to apply it, which honestly is probably not the best application method. It does look a little bumpy, so I still need to find a better way to apply it! Anyway, hope you like it!
