My Picks
Most Overrated: A lot of them work really well for me! The ones I’ve had the most trouble with, while not in a jar or pot, were NARS’ Shadow Pencils.
Most Underrated: Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners – the shade range is subtle/neutral, but they’re really great to wear-and-go.
How are you? How was your Saturday? Did you do anything fun or do you have something planned for today? We’re bound and determined (and we just might be bound) to hang some Christmas lights on the house today, rain or shine. The other non-blogging-related-task I really want to get done is hang up all my earrings, because the collection I’ve accumulated on my desk is just embarrassing! I have a good feeling today is going to be particularly productive, and I’m looking forward to it. Sometimes the rain (that’s our winter) derails my productivity–I already have two bright white floor lamps in my room but I think I need even more light to combat the dreary gray outside my window.
China Glaze Pizzazz Nail Lacquer ($7.50 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “twinkling multi-dimensional glitter blend.” It’s a mix of light blue, green, orange, yellow, fuchsia, and pink medium-sized glitter particles. It’s definitely not too similar to Glitter all the Way. This is a bit more pastel, and the size is more confetti-like as well as more are uniform. I couldn’t think of a dupe, so I’d love to hear any suggestions you may have!
It’s glitter suspended in a clear base, so it’s best used as a layering polish; particularly because it’s really sparse. I layered one coat over China Glaze Blue Bells Ring, and then I did two coats of the glitter on its own on my thumb nail so you could see the coverage. It’s not a glitter that ever gets close to being opaque. There was something about this polish that didn’t translate well no the nail–I think the thicker, almost gel-like consistency wasn’t helping, because the glitter didn’t spread evenly, which resulted in almost bald-looking spots in areas. This shade required some pushing and pulling and patting to get the glitter to space out evenly.
My favorite look this week was… On eyes: Lancome Petit Tresor Eyeshadow, Edward Bess Dusk Eyeshadow, Lancome Lumieres de Paris Les Paillettes, Burberry Trench Eyeshadow, bareMinerals 5AM Eyeliner, and bareMinerals Midnight Eyeliner.
