New Sally Hansen Rock Of Ages Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

I saw Rock of Ages a couple years back and LOVED it! Oh yes, nothing better than some good ol' rock and roll.

 

(enlarge for a better view)

Left to right:

Amp It Up- purple with black guitars

Zip It!- Sparkly silver with black zipper

Red-y To Rock- Red and white zebra/tiger print

Fingerlace Gloves- White base with black lace pattern

Star Quality- Pink base with dark blue stars

Good Genes- Destroyed denim pattern

Sticks and Stones- Red, black and white abstract pattern

I'm kind of underwhelmed with these, I think they could have been a lot cooler. I do like Fingerlace Gloves a lot, but the others are a little lacking for me.

What do you guys think about these?

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base Review

Price- $12.99

From the L'Oreal website:

The product is 100% oil and fragrance free. 

So I was at a Duane Reade and was looking for a face primer since I had ran out of the one I normally use. I grabbed this one because it was one of the only ones I saw. It also had a sign next to it stating it was the #1 Face primer stated by Allure magazine, so I decided to try it since I needed one for that day. 

However, later I realized that nowhere on the packaging did it state it was a face primer, it stated it was a base. But looking at the ingredients, it does have similar ingredients that face primers such as Smashbox primer has. 

The product comes in a little jar and is a pinkish color. You only need a small amount to cover your entire face. 

It applies very smoothly and it's easy to apply. It makes applying foundation easier because it glides on more easily creating a smooth surface. The formula is light weight and reminds me of a mousse. It leaves your skin feeling soft and helps minimize the apperance of your pores. 

I still need to keep trying it, in order to check if it helps your foundation last longer. I will keep you guys updated. 

However, so far I think it is a great base to wear under your foundation.

Inglot 5 Color Palette!

In my last post I told you guys about the Inglot Freedom System, and today I'm going to show you the palette I made!

DS 498- Black base with multicolor glitter

This swatch is more the actual color, the picture above looks more pink than it does in real life.

This one is a little hard to see because it is very nude

Again, the swatch is more accurate than the picture above, which is a little too orange looking.

All of these are super smooth and not gritty at all. I've yet to try them with primer and do an actual look. I've been pretty distracted just looking at them for a few days now lol The colors I chose were pretty neutral. I automatically got overwhelmed by all the colors that they have and it took me a super long time to even choose five. I knew I wanted more neutral colors, but the brights were so awesome, it took a lot not to grab a bunch of them as well (I may need to make myself a bright palette too!). I also tried to stay away from colors that I already have, besides that black because I'm crazy about black with different color glitter.

I also love the palette itself. The colors go in easily, it's super sturdy and the magnetic top is just a genius idea. Also, if you get more palettes later on, they will all stick together because of the magnets for easier storage.

The price of each eyeshadow is $6 which is about 2.5 oz, and the palette is $11 (bigger ones are more). So in total this palette was $41, a little more than I would usually like to pay, but pretty affordable for a really good quality custom palette. Everything is definitely worth the price and I would recommend it.

Christina Ricci teases N-U-D-E Robert Pattinson

Hollywood actress Christina Ricci is set to appear on the big screen alongside Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson and she has revealed how Robert Pattinson spent a lot of time N_aked on the set of Bel Ami. Christina admitted that fans of Robert Pattinson are in for a treat as he will be showing off more than ever on the big screen.

Ricci explained, “You get to see a lot of Rob in the movie. Twi-hards? Is that what they’re called? Yeah they will be happy, he’s naked most of the time. I was pretty relaxed about the ­nudity. I’m pretty happy with who I am now; that comes with age, as you know your body. Like most women, I have bad days but I try to eat ­healthily and work out and that’s what it’s about.”

Christina Ricci and Robert Pattinson will star alongside Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas in the Declan Donnellan movie Bel Ami, which is set to hit the big screen in the US on March 2, 2012, while the cinemas in the UK will get to see Robert Pattinson nude on March 9, 2012.

Jillian Michaels Welcomes Son AND Adopted Daughter

The Biggest Loser host Jillian Michaels is doling out unconditional, rather than tough love to a two-year-old daughter, Lukensia – whom she recently brought home from Haiti after a long and arduous adoption process. She also welcomed a son, Phoenix, that partner Heidi Rhoades gave birth to May 3! “We’re swimming in babies over here,” Michaels, 38, told People of her new life. The two-year

Inglot Freedom System!

I've been wanting a custom palette for a while now, and Inglot has been on the top of my list.

For those of you who are familiar with Inglot, you probably know about the freedom system they have for creating custom palettes. If you're not familiar, this is what happens: you go into your Inglot store and you'll get a magnetic board and you can go to town on eye shadow, blushes or even lipgloss I believe. Each eye shadow is in a magnetic tin so it sticks to the board. After you pick your colors, you give it to someone that works in the store and they'll set you up with the boxed eye shadows and the empty palette.

When you get it home, you can put the shadows in the palette. Everything is magnetic so the eyeshadows stay put.

None of the colors have names, just numbers and abbreviations based on the finish of the shadows.

I'll be showing you mine in my next post when I'm back at my computer!

Las Vegas Nails!

I'm in Las Vegas baby!! Just landed super early this morning. It's my graduation/ birthday present so instead of birthday nails I skipped straight ahead to Vegas nails!

 

Here we have diamonds and hearts! I used Sinful Colors Black on Black as the base then did the shapes in OPI Alpine Snow before going over them in Zoya Sooki.

 

A for Ace. Again, Sinful Colors Black on Black as the base, and I used a Kiss nail art pen in white to do the letter.

 

Clubs and spades (my fave)! OPI Alpine Snow is the base then I used a Kiss nail art pen in black to do the shapes because the brush and nail polish just wasn't working for me. I found it a lot easier to draw with a pen than brush. My thumb is also white but has a black A, like my other thumb. I did a coat of Essie Good to Go over all my nails, but for some reason it discolored the black nail art pen and made it look a little grey (as you can see here), which is kind of crappy, but I didn't feel like doing it all over and using Seche. 

Hopefully this brings me some luck!

The right shade of blush for you !

Fair to light 

Since your skin is light you have to be careful with the amount of blush you put on. A little goes a long away. 

Try a light pink or peach color. You can also wear a natural pink or red or wear a peachy bronzer instead of blush.

Medium to honey 

With your skin tone you can use a coral or pink blush. If you want you can also higlight your cheekbones to make the blush really pop.

For a warmer look wear a medium toned bronzer instead of the blush, along your temples and cheeks.

Olive

If you have an olive skin tone you can wear a pinkish beige blush. You can also try a bright coral or pink shade to brighten your skin.

Dark

Darker skin tones can try a magenta or apricot to accentuate your cheeks. You can also try orange or hot pink blush for a more dramatic look.

Hot Topic Warpaint Beauty Haul!

I was recently at Hot Topic and noticed that they had a lot of beauty products on clearance. They were all Warpaint Beauty products, which I've never tried before so I decided to rummage around and see what I could find.

 

I got three eyeliners:

Disco Ball- silver with slight silver shimmer

Blue Monday - Medium blue

New Blue- Light blue

two nail polishes:

Black Light-  Clear polish that glows under black light

Galaxy- Duochrome blue and purple glitter

three eye shadows:

Destoyer- Black base with rainbow glitter

Rich Bitch- Metallic brown/ bronze

Start Here- Matte cream

 

Disco Ball, New Blue, Blue Monday

 

Start Here

 

Rich Bitch

 

Destroyer

I haven't tried the nail polish yet, but the eyeliners are kind of iffy. They didn't show up on my water line, but I'll have to try them out on my upper lid to see if they are any good. The one thing that I have used is Start Here, I've used it as a highlight shade under my brows for the past two days and I really like it. I haven't tried out the other two shadows yet, but they are pretty good quality. Rich Bitch and Start Here are both really smooth, but Destroyer is a little gritty because of the glitter. I'll be trying out looks with them all soon so I can give a better review.

I forgot to mention that all the products are only $1.99! So if the quality isn't that great at least the price was!

Bamboozle nails!

Today was the first day of Bamboozle! So, of course, I had to do a special mani.

My pointer and middle finger are a coat of OPI Alpine Snow with Sinful Colors Black on Black stripes. I was kind of inspired by an picture I saw of Gwen Stefani wearing black and white striped pants. My thumb, ring and pinky are Sally Hansen Brisk Blue (I believe) and Zoya Sooki and Sinful Colors Black on Black for the leopard print. This was inspired by the colors of Bamboozle.

The stripes on this hand came out much better than the ones on my other hand, which I spared you from seeing haha

But I like it overall, and think it looks pretty cool.

When Elizabeth Olsen worried about her N-U-D-E scenes

She maybe the younger sibling of stars Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, but actress Elizabeth Olsen has started to make a niche of her own in recent years.

The young actress admitted that appearing in the nude in a new film 'Martha Marcy May Marlene' was quite worrying for her but that she finally decided that the scenes were important and an essential part of the story.

The 22-year-old Hollywood actress had to allegedly strip off several times in her latest film and admits that one of the main reasons for her initial reluctance was about being typecast in similar roles in the future. However, she soon accepted that the troubled role required the nudity. "This is only my second film. I thought that if other films required nudity that I didn't agree with, they could say, 'Well, you did it in that movie,'" she said.

"And here it felt important and honest to the story. One the biggest ways that someone can brainwash you, and it happened in the Manson family, is by taking your sexuality and your body, and letting it be everyone's to share. If you give that away to someone then you've lost total awareness of your body and your mind," Olsen added.

Talking about the film, she also revealed that she found her alter-ego Martha's life rather terrifying. "It's strange because when we were filming I felt so close to her, like we were one and the same. That she was so much of me, my thoughts and secrets. And then I saw the movie. I'm such a light person. That is so far away from who I am," she added.

New Underwear Line Launched by Rosie Huntington Whiteley

Getting in her regular fitness session, Rosie Huntington Whiteley was spotted leaving her gym in Beverly Hills, CA this afternoon (May 15).

 

The gorgeous supermodel looked au natural in a maroon tan top and yoga pants as she sported a New York Yankees baseball cap while trying to avoid the swarming photographers.

In other news, the 25-year-old star recently teamed up with Marks and Spencers to create her own underwear line and said, “M&S is an iconic British brand, adored by many so I'm very excited to be launching my debut lingerie line with them.”

She added, "I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the design team to create my dream collection, and I'm looking forward to a fun and creative time ahead."

The Rosie for Autograph line is set to his stores in the fall.
