Dollar Store Steals!

Soo.. I went to the dollar store the other day .. (I know what you're probably thinking, who the hell buys makeup at the dollar store) and I gotta say, it really surprised me.

I bought these NYC Loose Eye Powders, and dayummm, personally, they are way worth more than one dollar!

It comes in a box that has the eye shadow, a brush, and a eye sealer, but I threw away the brush in my extra brush holder thingy cause it's just one of those flat brushes that two year olds use in their makeup, and I tried the sealer (they work), but I don't really have the time to apply it.. but it works GREAT when you're trying to turn any eyeliner into a waterproof one. If you want me to show you how, just ask.

Anyway, these are what they look like:

(Black Onyx, Espresso, Cocoa Shimmer, Frosty Shimmer)

..and on my hand, they look like this:



The white you can't see easily on my skin (not sure if that's the product or just the lighting because I haven't used that one yet), but the rest are amazing (I have tried the rest) !

I use the Espresso on my outer lid and the Cocoa Shimmer on the inner lid just for a basic eye. Then I add a brown eyeliner and some mascara, and.. perfect neutral eye with just a bit of color!

If I have to recommend getting just one, it would be Espresso.. it works with pretty much anything!

First Review.. Current Nail Polish!

I'll get a picture shortly of the bottle, but I have on my nails currently, N.Y.C. (New York Color) 140B 'Empire State Blue'.

Overall, I like New York Color polish. First off, it's cheap. I get my bottles from Target for .99 cents. So basically, I just have to steal a little change from my friends to get a bottle:) It's also easy to go on, it isn't sticky or anything once it 'dries' like some of my other brands of polish.

There are some downsides though. I guess, not bad, just annoying. I had to put more than one layer on, which I HATE doing (just because I'm lazy), and its just a bit thick, but you can't really tell unless you're really analyzing like I was..

I also suck at painting my own nails, so sorry for the horrible paint job! But you can still see the color:)

Wow, I really need to lotion my hands..

These were the colors (bases and top coats) used for the nail pictured above:

Hello everyone:)

This is my first blog. I think I'm going to stay anonymous, but you can call me Mads for now. Anyway.. I fill you in on a few things that I like to do and stuff:)

-> I am in LOVE with Fashion. It's sort of my addiction.

-> Makeup guru in the making. Don't ask. I've been sort of obsessed with those Youtube 'Makeup Collection' videos that everyone does, so... don't be surprised if I post a makeup collection soon.

-> One day I hope to live in California. No questions asked.

-> I have a secret obsession with writing poems. Maybe one day I'll be a published author:)
