FOTD: Summer Brights

Greetings from the Dark Side!~

Maybe you all have noticed, but I have been going through a very uninspiring couple of weeks with my makeup. I haven't been extremely excited with my makeup and I have hardly had the desire to put on makeup. However, today was a bit different. I wanted to wear something bright and fun. I was really just feeling in the mood to try something different so I ended up with this bright look. I also tried out two new products that I recently purchased. I really like it and I hope you do too!!

Indie Polish 'Tinkerbell'

Greetings from the Dark Side!~

My obsession with indie nail polishes has grown so much these past months, and I have really enjoyed trying out new brands. One of my most recent discoveries is a Canada-based company called Indie Polish. I found them on Etsy (I absolutely love Etsy!!), and I have really enjoyed the two polishes I have purchased so far. 'Tinkerbell' was a recent purchase. I thought it was such a gorgeous glitter, I just had to share it with you all!

Tinkerbell is a sheer base with iridescent glitter, small and big, as well as a big blue glitters. It catches the light so amazingly and one coat is more than enough to look amazing on the nails. I think this was a limited edition color, although I really hope it is brought back because it is a really lovely polish! 

One coat of 'Tinkerbell' over two coats of OPI 'What's With the Cattitude?'
What do you think of this polish? Yay or nay?

Review: YSL Faux Cils Mascara

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Today, I am going to review a highly raved mascara that I've been using for the past two months. This is the YSL Faux Cils mascara, a pretty tube with a hefty price tag of $30. This was given to me as a present for Christmas and I was delighted to finally have the chance to try this out. I personally have always prefered drugstore mascaras because they are cheaper, but it was nice to try out a high end one for a change, especially one that has such amazing reviews. Will the YSL Faux Cils blow me away? Or will drugstore mascaras win me over once more? Keep reading for a full review~

FOTD: Sick of Swimming (Ft. Sephora Ariel Palette)

Greetings from the Dark Side!
The third row of the Sephora Ariel palette offers a great mix of colorful shades. I wanted to create something brighter and less reminiscent of the ocean/mermaids. I personally just love the green shades in this palette! It is different, but I hope you like it!

Lac Attack 'Holidays in Hogsmeade'

Greetings from the Dark Side~!

As I mentioned in an previous haul, I have been really excited about finally owning the Lac Attack Magical Musings collection (Harry Potter inspired nail polishes). I wanted to play around with them and see how I like them. The first color I reached for was 'Holidays in Hogsmeade'. This fun glitter has been calling my name so I just applied one coat over Covergirl's 'Orange Oasis' Outlast Glosstini.

Holidays in Hogsmeade is a transparent base with small-medium sized emerald green glitter, medium sized glitter, and large white glitter.  This glitter is very bright, fun, and definitely reminiscent of the holidays. Even though one coat has sparse glitter, the glitter stands out really nicely. The glitter dries very quickly and was not difficult to apply at all. You would be able to easily apply 2-3 coats for a more opaque coverage.


My first impression of Lac Attack is definitely a good one! Of course, I am being a bit biased because it is a nail polish inspired by Harry Potter! Can you blame me? The name is just so cute!

FOTD: Unfortunate Souls (Ft. Sephora Ariel Palette)

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Here is another sea-blue look using the Sephora Ariel palette. I decided to use all the eyeshadows from the second row in the palette to create a look and see how it works out. I actually love how the blues on the lid look together! I hope you like it too :)
