Shanny

Here’s what was included:

  • NYX Lipstick in Sunflower. IMG_4562 It’s a bit on the bright red side for me (and conservative CSP), plus I’m more of a gloss girl vs lipstick.  So it will go to my mom or sister.
  • Be A Bombshell The One Stick in Flustered.IMG_4563Basically it is a stick you can use as blush or lipstick.  Again on the bright side so it is also going to Momo or Gigi.
  • POP Beauty Eye Shadow Palette in Smokin’ Hot.  A glittery silver, dark gray, and black.  Gorgeous.  I already have these colors so this is going to Momo. IMG_4560
  • Andrea Strip Lashes. IMG_4559So glam!  I’m trying to decide when to use these.  Maybe NYE?  I’ll post pics when I do.
  • Julie G Textured Nail Color in Sugar Plum Fairy.  photoLOVE this color!  It’s blue/purple with silver and purple glitter.  You don’t use it with a top coat so it’s matte.  Here’s a pic of what it looks like applied.

I am a siren of the sea

Shanny

Behold!  On the left is my new favorite fingernail polish.  The brands don’t matter here.  It’s the color that matters.  My favorite Christmas colors are purple, aqua, lime green & hot pink so I wanted to paint my nails to be festive.  The purple is Sally Hansen.  It’s a deep purple with a bluish tint.  Kinda what I picture that indigo to be in ROYGBIV.  Makes me feel far more edgy and hip than I am.  I’d show you a picture of my actual stubby little fingers but my manicure is chipped right awful from all this unpacking.  I’m just not made for manual labor!

On the right is my new favorite toe nail polish.  Yes I know it’s December but unpainted toe nails give me the creeps. It’s a super glittery aqua.  I got it in a cheap 4 pack while looking for the perfect purple.  The “purple” in the multipack was really a blue parading around as purple.  The brand is LA Colors and I got it at CVS for like $3 for the 4 pack.  I was a little worried that I might be too pale to pull off such dark and bold colors but I think they work.  I’d show you a pic of my actual toes but who really likes to look at other people’s toes except for toe pervs?  Plus my left big toe is all wonky since I had an ingrown toenail taken care of an all he left me was a tiny sliver of a nail.  Sadist! Conservative CSP was appropriately shocked and dismayed and cried “GREEEEEN????” when he saw my toes as if it was the end of the world as he knows it.  I corrected him that it is NOT green but a lovely aqua.  It makes me feel like a mermaid. And who doesn’t want to be a mermaid?
