Butter London "Holiday Dressing Table Worthy" Gift Set

 *ok, so before i begin, i just wanna say that the lighting in these pics SUCK and i will be retaking them. i just really wanted to get this post up because this is a limited edition holiday set, and when i found mine there were only a few left. so i figured i would rather have this up so you all had a better chance of picking one up if you were interested...rather then waiting a few more days and lessening the chance of finding this beauty!

 

i am sporting The Black Knight from Butter London on my nails and i cant stop staring at my fingers!!! i came across this set in Nordstrom. Both Butter London and Deborah Lippman products were displayed in a random spot among the fragrance department.  as i was perusing through the gorgeous polishes, all holiday ready and glittering, i picked up a few - the party trio from Deborah Lippman caught my eye - but, i was really trying to be a good girl and my self control fairy convinced me to put everything down because i really shouldnt be buying any more polishes; especially with the holidays coming!

well, as i was pulling myself away from the sparkly bottles my eye caught this HUGE Butter London box, with an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING champagne colored iridescent glitter polish & and metallic pink shade. i picked it up and drooled over this GORGEOUS champagne glitter - but, do i really need another pink polish? especially when these two polishes are carrying a $25 price tag? 

....no, im being a good girl. im being a good girl. (repeat until breathing returns)

as i put down this wonderfully exciting polish box set i see that right behind it is the same box set- with the same champagne glitter i was lusting over- but...do my eyes deceive me!???? a black multicolored shimmer polish snuggled sweetly next to the champagne glitter. IT WAS FATE. and i will stand by my rationalization to no end!!

 meet Tart With A Heart - the champagne iridescent glitter polish that stole my heart and leaped into my arms begging me to give it a home.

 This is the gift set, it claims that these polishes are "dressing table worthy" and boyyyyy they were not kidding. i literally refuse to put them away in my polish collection. they are too beautiful to be lost among my other lovelies - they now sit on top of my dresser next to my picture frames, and they look fantastic i must say!!

 Tart With A Heart is a champagne glitter with larger iridescent glitter chunks throughout it. *i will be posting swatches of it on my nails next week*

The Black Knight is a creamy black polish chock full of multicolored SHIMMER- not glitter chunks! which is different and awesome. it has highly concentrated blue, purple, red and gold shimmers going through it - sooooo purrty <3

 to tell you the truth, i have always passed Butter London by, because i refuse to spend $14 on one polish. i could never justify spending so much on a polish that could be easily duped with a drug store polish. but - these shades, specifically, i have NEVER seen before...and even though with this set you are paying $25 for a two polish gift set, i really dont feel guilty because they are just that unique. they make me smile every time a pass them. i love that they are on display in my room!

check back soon to see swatches of Tart With A Heart and hopefully some better pics that capture the true beauty of these shades!!

also, i found my set at Nordstrom, but im sure you can snag these online on either nordstrom.com or butterlondon.com - they are limited edition for the holidays so happy hunting!!

Butter Me Up Baby!

 im obsessed with these things, end of story.

 top- Creme Brulee

left- Sugar Frosting, right- Pink Truffle

bottom- Cupcake

 i stopped at walgreens last night, and there they were...sparkling under the florescent lights - i could resist. 

Revlon Lip Butters have officially replaced all other lip products in my collection lol

Pink Truffle, Creme Brulee, Cupcake, Sugar Frosting

even though Sugar Frosting is a sheer slightly shimmery sheen for the lips, i realllllly like it...and i have been wearing it ever since i popped it open. its just so easy and give the lips a really nice moisturized look and feel. Cupcake and Creme Brulee are also great, cupcake is a bit too cool toned for my skintone, but i think once i pale out a little it will be fine! hahaha creme brulee is a great nude with a slight frost to it. i really like the warm undertones - almost peachy.

Pink Truffle is a great deeper nude, a nice fall shade. i dont know why they put the work Pink in the name, it doesnt seem to have much pink in it,,,more of a brownish nude - definitely a "my lips but better" color.

NOTD: Sinful Colors Heavy Metal & Milani Gems

 so last week, i had a glitter manicure that concentrated the glitter from the top and faded down.

so this week, i figured why not invert it and see what happens!!

 Sinful Colors Heavy Metal is a bright metallic raspberry red.

 Milani Jewel FX in Gems is a multicolored rainbow thick concentrated glitter polish. this is part of their ONE COAT glitter polish collection. it has mostly primary colors (red, blue, green, silver) and there are about 3 different sized glitter chunks throughout this polish.

the brush on this polish is thinner then most, the idea behind the brush is that you can use it to create glitter "FX" for designs on your nails using the brush supplied, while also being able to paint your whole nail with ease.

hope your having a wonderful week!!

NOTD: OPI Dating A Royal & Servin Up Sparkle

i love glitter nails. end of story.

but sometimes the glitter nail needs a little makeover. so i decided to concentrate OPI's Servin Up Sparkle just at the tips of my nails and im lovin it!!

 

OPI's Dating A Royal is a creamy med-toned royal blue. its very opaque with no shimmer or sparkle. i wanted to choose a shade that wasnt questionable. when you look at my nails, you know their blue lol and i think it adds a great contrast to the iridescent glitter in Servin Up Sparkle - which is a silver glitter polish with larger iridescent chucks in it.

i hope everyone has an amazing weekend - and lets not forget, LETS GO GIANTS!

Bobbi Brown Holiday 2011

so, i grabbed some stuff from the Bobbi Brown Holiday collection. and i gotta say, im super excited. 

first, when i saw the new Holiday Party Shimmer Brick, i thought to myself - holy shizzle this was made for me! - A SHIMMER HIGHLIGHT WITH A MARTINI GLASS PRESSED INTO THE PRODUCT?! ummmmm...YES PLEASE.

 there are a few things about this shimmer brick that i adore. first and foremost, the friggin martini glass, 'nuff said.

second, i really appreciate the fact that both colors are super accessible.  if your in the mood for gold, swipe away. if silver strikes your fancy, swatch it up. if your really ready to get the party going swirl the both together and glow it up baby!!!

both shades are gorgeous, no glitter chunks or obnoxious fall out. this product gives you a glowy affect without making you look like a christmas ornament. this thing also rocks my socks because it is so user friendly with a multitude of different ways to put it to work. highlight, eyeshadow, all over shimmer, or across your chest, you can use it anywhere and everywhere. everytime i open up the shiny black Bobbi Brown compact i have this strong urge to just burst out into song..silverrr and golddd, silver and goooold!!! in my opinion, if a holiday product doesnt make you want to break out your old school christmas movies and sing along to the classics, then its not worth your holiday bonus.

Next i grabbed the Black Ruby Sparkle Eye Palette. i couldnt resist, and believe me, i tried.

 top left: Pink Rose - top right: Crushed Silver
bottom left: Black Ruby - bottom right: Onyx

in the palette, the shades are beautiful. when swatched, they really come alive!!! now, i must start off sayin that this isnt the most pigmented palette in the world. but what it lacks in saturated color it makes up for in incredible sparkle. and if sparkly seductive eyes are what your looking for, look no further. i am actually planning on using this palette for my date night tonight, i will try to post pics of what i come up with. but i think that on the eyes these shadows will look amazing, and if your in the mood for a more dark dramatic look, layering these over cream shadows or deeper shades, WOW, i can only imagine!!!

 Swatch Time!

 Pink Rose, Crushed Silver, Black Ruby, Onyx

 top- onyx

Black Ruby

Crushed Silver

bottom- Pink Rose

 just gold - just silver - both mixed

 top- mixed

middle - silver

 bottom- gold

gold - silver - mixed

i tried my hardest, even went outside and tried to find some sun, so i can capture the shimmer and sparkle. i dont think i was able to get these products full potential on camera. but if you find yourself near a Bobbi Brown counter i suggested you swatch them out and see for yourself! remember, these are limited edition for the holiday season - so if you are interested, move fast!!!

NEW! Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters!!

i found them!!! i got so excited when i ran into these little babies at Bed Bath and Beyond, i grabbed 6!! there has been alot of hype around these new lip butters, and now i know why! they are pretty freakin amazing. made with shea, coconut, and mango butters they glide onto your lips so smoothly! they feel great and wear nicely. i love the fact that you can layer these shades to get it them as pigmented or sheer as you like. 

 Revlon claims that 94% of women said their lips have become smoother after using this product. they will also be **PERMANENT** come January 2012!!!! they have been popping up in random drugstores lately, but should be easier to find after the new year...im so excited that there is no rush to get your hands on these because they will be permanent, because i definitely will be collecting all 20 shades in this collection. i also have a strong feeling that these lovelies will replace almost all of my lipsticks. LOL

 i also think that the packaging is adorable too. they have the same Revlon "cushion" detail as all of the other lipsticks in the Colorburst collection. the caps are colored and frosted, and the top is clear so that you can look directly at the product in the tube. great for purchasing purposes. nothing worse then sitting in the middle of aisle 3 at CVS deciding which crappy fake swatch you like best!

 Strawberry Shortcake, Cotton Candy, Peach Parfait, Lollipop, Cherry Tart, Berry Smoothie

 can you see the sheen these things give off!? they make your lips look so sexy and supple, add a great amount of color, some have a beautiful creamy finish and some have just the right amount of shimmer!!!

 Strawberry Shortcake, Cotton Candy, Peach Parfait, Lollipop, Cherry Tart, Berry Smoothie

 cotton candy is a gorgeous barbie pink with gold shimmers!

 peach parfait is a peachy nude with gold shimmers

Lollipop is a bright fuchsia with blue/purple shimmers!!

despite their adorable names, these lip butters have no taste or smell that i could detect. it would be pretty awesome if their taste and scent matched their sweet sounding names, but whatev, their overall performance and incredible moisturizing formulations outshine their lack of sweet scent or taste.
