LOTD

Hello! Today's look is comfy and casual. I will start with my make up.

My face is smashbox primer, foundation Christian Dior Diorskin Eclat Satin Fluid, powder is Christian Dior Matte and blush Wet n Wild Heather Silk.

My eyes are Urban Decay eye primer, Milani Shadow Eyez in Aquatic Style and Urban Decay Blitz (Gold shade from the Vice Palette) with a base Anonymous (Light beige shade from the Vice Palette)

I love Milani Shadow eyez. Extremely pigmented fun colors that stay on ALL day for a great price of about $6-7. I bought mine at a CVS drugstore.

 My eyeliner is Lancome liquid eyeliner and

my lashes are Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara.

My lips are a Estee Lauder lipgloss color from a palette.

Its a nude rose shade.

Clothes and Shoes

I have on a comfy satin top I bought from JcPenny's in 2006. I love the colors of turquiose and lime it has and obviously that's what inspired the eye colors. My shoes I bought from Payless. Simple flats by American Eagle. I believe they were about $20. My dog has chewed 3 pairs of my plain black flats (amoung many of my other shoes), so I gave up on getting expensive brands. What is sad is she takes them out of the shoe closet and picks only my shoes...and only 1 shoe of the pair.

Here is a picture of my shoe bandit. Her name is Lola. She is a Presa Canario.

Pebble Beach- Fire Opal Step 4/ LOTD

Hello! In between doing Halloween challenges I wanted to post some polishes that haven't received any love. First up is Pebble Beach Fire Opal Step 4 .

There are a total of 4 steps, which are shades that are supposed to be applied as a gradient. I only picked up this one, which is the darkest of the four steps. The formula is thick and opaque in basically 1 coat, although I used 2 coats to be sure. It is sort of matte, foil, and gritty at the same time. My pictures show it without top coat. 

I really love this color for fall.

I believe this is sold in some Walgreens and beauty supply stores for around $3  or less each. 

Next I tried Pebble Beach Ruby Step 4

This is a dark burgundy with the same finish as Fire Opal Step 4.

Below is only 1 coat. I am amazed at the coverage of this nail polish.

I just put the one coat and let it be. I personally like the foil matte look.

And here is my look for the day.

I didn't put much make up on, you can see I look tired.

I love my earrings and sequin flats, though :)

Day 23- Inspired by a Movie (Mean Girls)-LOTD

Day 23

Inspired by a movie

Movie-Mean Girls

Sorry forgot to post this yesterday!

Karen: I can't go out. [faux coughs softly] I'm sick.
Regina: Boo, you whore!

I wore 1 coat of black and then 1 thick coat of

 Different Dimension-Boo, You Whore!

Then I topped it with Out the Door fast dry top coat.

Below is my outfit from Saturday night.

We went to the concert and had a blast.

I tried to new Urban Decay Vice Palette out.

I am not sure I like the new formula compared to the last one.

They aren't as creamy.

But, it worked. I just has a harder time blending.

I wore a shirt from the Body Shop, Express jeans, and Jessica Simpson shoes.

And this is me and my hubby before we went into the concert.

My husband is wearing Marc Anthony.

Day 22-Inspired By a Song-LOTD-Mail

Day 22

Inspired by a Song

Hey! Today's manicure is inspired by a song.

Tonight I am going to a friend's concert. His name is Rowdy B. There are a lot of things going on tonight. But, since we are trying to support his career, we are going to his concert. I picked on of his songs, High Life. I was in this video, so I thought it was fitting. I will post pictures of tonight for you guys tomorrow. You can see where my thumb is healing.

Last night we went to our friend Isa's birthday dinner. Here are some pictures from that. You can also see how I was inspired to do my nails...I had on a dress I bought from www.GreatGlam.com. I love to shop from that website. Good selection, true sizes, fast delivery and nice service. My shoes are my favorite brand, Jessica Simpson. My jewelry is from my store. The girl with the long black hair next to me in the pictures is the birthday girl, Isa. She doesn't look 36, does she?

Today's mail!

The Vice palette. I am going to try it out tonight for the concert. I also got a back up mascara and and a lipstick in Pistol color.

Different Dimension polishes.

Blue Christmas, Light it Up Blue (Glow in the Dark), Spectral Tiger (Glow in the Dark), Fight Like a Girl, Ectoplasm (Glow in the Dark)

Day 17- Glitter

Day 17

Glitter

I own a lot of glitter polishes. I had a hard time deciding on which to wear. So, I went against the glitter bombs and went for a subtle color shift Ozotic 528 over 505 over black.

More Nail Polish did a great post on this combination here.

I mentioned in another post I was going to a UGA game.

Here is the only picture I remembered to take before I got tipsy, lol.

I am moving my hand, but besides that, its an OK picture.

Here is another one a friend took

Here is my LOTD

I am trying to wear more clothes, shoes and

make up that I have not given attention to in awhile.

I wore a lot of different brands of make up today.

I have on Urban Decay Gunmetal (Grey),

a Lancome matte cream color from a gift with purchase palette, and a black glitter shadow from the drugstore, I can't remember the brand right now. Lashes are Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara. Liquid liner is Loreal. My lips are Maybelline lip stain in Coral (red) and my cheeks are elf mellow muave.

Urban Decay just released the Vice Palette AND their Big Fatty Mascara is on sale for $5 (compared to $20) When I get home I have a $5 off coupon I am going to use on this purchase :) Oh yeah, shipping is free! Yay!

Day 13- Animal Print- LOTD

Day 13

Animal Print

I really like how this turned out.

My inspiration was Rebecca from Rebecca Likes Nails.

Today is her day of birth and some of her favorite colors are teal and pink.

Oh and I think animal print is her favorite, too.

 I received Nicole by OPI- A Million Sparkles from a swap with Sarah at Chalkboard Nails. She was really sweet and added a pretty brown color by Loreal in the swap. I will be sure to wear that here soon with fall approaching.

A Million Sparkles is a wonderful glitter polish that was opaque in 2 coats. The bar glitters in it are short enough were they don't poke out like a lot of bar glitter polishes do. The accent nail was 1 coat OPI If You Moust You Moust topped with 1 coat OPI Teenage Dream. The dots are Sally Hansen Calypso and WnW Black Cream.

My fast dry top coat is Out the Door.

LOTD (Look of the Day)

Today was light brown and black with a dash of silver stud accents.

For my make up I wore Urban Decay shadows Underground (brown), Shag (light brown), Zero (black), and Vanilla (cream). My lashes and eyeliner are Loreal. My lips are Maybelline lip stain in Ruby Indulgence.

The metal ring and wrap leather studded bracelet are from my store. My nails can be seen better in the picture at the top of the page. And last, but not least, my shoes are from my sweet friend, Leighanne. She gave me these babies because she said they were too small for her.

Here is a picture of her and I from March.

Diet and stuff...

Well, I haven't done any workouts. But, I am not pigging out either. So, again, I am the same weight.

Day 12- Stripes

Day 12-Stripes

Cheshire Cat

I painted this on my left had. I am left handed, so you can see how this was harder for me to paint with my right hand.

 But, its OK.

 What do you think?

My inspiration is from nailcrazyblog.blogspot.com. However, I do not see the blog anymore.

Here is her pic...

And from the Disney cartoon "Alice in Wonderland" 

The Cheshire Cat

These are the polishes and tools I used...

I said I would show you what I bought from Target...here are some pics....

These  are the shirts I got. $14.99 each for the Hello Kitty ones and I think $19.99 for the Vixen one. The Vixen one has lace on the shoulders. I seem to wear a lot of grey, lol.

I needed some cowboy boots for my Halloween costume and I am sure I will wear them on other days, too. Aren't they cute?!

The other 2 are Mossimo brand and the style is called Vivian.

 VERY COMFORTABLE heels. Great for pant suits. I think they came in 2 more colors...I can't remember which right now.

And while I was at CVS I picked up some Spoiled polishes. These are actually the only Spoiled brand I own. Checkin' into Rehab (Dark Purple with flecks), Are Mermaids Real? (Purple with gold flecks), Jewelry Heist (Glitter) and Shrimp on the Barbie (Pink with Gold Flecks/Shimmer). There are all $1.99 each. 

The 2 blues ones are from Different Dimension from etsy. The lighter blue one glows in the dark :)

I used a coupon I saw on Chalkboard Nails blog  where she reviewed her polishes.

Mellow Mauve and Fuchsia Blush for $3 each. They had 5 colors to chose from.

The eye shadow brush was $1

Weight/Fat Loss Journey-DAY 5 / Hair / Make Up

 Hey again, today's make up was more neutral. I used Estee Lauder lip gloss from a palette. My skin is Chanel foundation and powder. My eyes are Milani shadow stick in a brown color and Urban Decay browns from 15th anniversary palette. Urban Decay-Big Fatty Mascara.

Today has been the opposite of yesterday.

 It was not going my way, lol. Paypal was giving me a major headache.

It probably doesn't help that my husband isn't at work with me today.

He usually makes my day go a lot easier when he is here. We work together.

My mom works with us, too. lol. Its def a family business.

Anyway, to the weight stuff.

I weighed in the morning. I was a tiny bit dissappointed.

But, something is better than nothing.

I am -4.6 pounds less than Monday.

Meal 1
