Sunday March 24, 2013, We stepped into Amici Miei Café 957 Main St. Bridgeport. CT , a great sight & live. The hostesses were bright with smiles & fashionable but we would expect nothing less from L~N~S right? There were great finger foods pasta dishes, shrimp cocktail, and beverages for every liking for those who planned on sipping while shopping.

Spring Grass & Corpal Skies.. + Mango Tango Review

We have been having some gawgeous (yet humid) weather but some amazing sunsets to make up for it. Which is where I got my inspiration for "Spring grass & Corpal (Coral & Purple) Skies", kind of like....

The beautiful Andy Warhol Sunset.

Check out my video for a how to on this look


Products used on eyes:
NYX Eye Shadow Base in Skin Tone purchased at Ulta
Fusion of Color's Mango Tango eye shadow (Given to me from my swag bag from The Experience NYC) Loveee this!!! The camera & lighting really didn't do it justice!
From Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box: Fishnet & Graffiti purchased at Sephora
Sephora Smoky Cream Liner in Must Have purchased at Sephora
NYX Glitter Mania in in Gold purchased at Ulta
Buxom Lash Mascara also available at Sephora but given to me as a gift from my Baby Mama lol

Lips: 
Mac Lipgelee.. In anonymous color, unknown wish I knew but one of my faves & if I ever run out of it. I shall cry. Must find a dupe ASAP.

Cheeks:
KLS Mojave Rose


Mango Tango by Fusion of Color: Simply and sweetly put, I love this. I know that I had a lot of lighting in the video so it kind of blocked some of it's true essence but trust me when I say, I want more!!! I received this as apart of my Swag Bag from The Experience NYC as mentioned.


I wore this color for a few hours and it did not fade, it had great pay off and was not grainy at all. I can also see why it was The Color of the Year in 2012. Gorg!


For more info on Fusion of Color:

I just wanted to show off my cute lil mani ;-)

Don't Zzzzz... on Wet N' Wild!

I have had these Wet N' Wild Matte Mega Lipsticks and Megalast nail polishes for quite some time now and I have been meaning to review them. Short story shorter... I'm sorry because these are amazing!! They retail for $1.99 at drugstores and $1.97 at my local Walmart. 


I purchased 2 lipsticks at a drugstore on sale for $.99 when they first released & loved them so much that the very next day I was back with 3 nail polishes and 5 more lipsticks as well. A great thing about the drugstores is that the products are more likely to go on sale and there are coupons currently circulating making them f-r-e-e..








The swatches in light

(In order from left to right)
918D- Cherry Bomb, 970- Purty Persimmon, 903C- Just Peachy, 902C- Bare It All, 907C- Mauve Outta Here, 905 D- Smokin' Hot Pink, 917B- Cinnamon Spice


The swatches without light
(I hope you appreciate this my arm looked abused for 2 days lol)

I absofreakinlutely love the nail polishes! Not only do they last long as mentioned in the name but the brush is awesome. It is shaped to basically adhere to your nail so you are less likely to make errors with it's flat and rounded shape.


One of my faves Cherry Bomb

If you have tried any of these products, what do you think about them and what are your fave colors? Do share!
