Make up Looks and Weight Loss Update



My face is Bella Terra mineral make up.
I really like how it blends with my skin and feels light.
My eyes are Urban Decay are Twice Baked and Midnight Cowboy Rides Again.
My blush is Wet n Wild Pearlescent Pink.
My lips are Kiko Rosetto Vinyl.
This is a fresh simple look that I enjoy wearing.

As I was a the kiosk for Bella Terra I bought some mineral gold shimmer
eye shadow and gold eye glitter.
I played around with it to make this eye look.
I started with NYX Jumbo eye pencil in white.
Then put the gold shimmer eye shadow and then dabbed
 on the LA splash proof sealer.
While that was still tacky I dabbed on the glitter with a brush.
After that I added liquid eye liner and false lashes.
I was going for a more dramatic look. But, it still turned out pretty.
The LA Splash proof sealer works great at holding the glitter on.
I highly recommend it.
Sorry about the pictures, it was late and the only light was my computer monitor, hehe.

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE!
I am still doing great, if not my best with my 
being healthy and working out.
I go to the gym everyday or every other day and I push it hard for an hour.
I mainly do the stair climber and leg work outs that target my
glutes, hamstrings and quads (the leg and booty area)
Results are showing!
I have kept 15 pounds off for more than 2 months.
Now, I am just toning up and making the slim look strong and healthy.
What I eat is the main thing that is working.
I keep my portions small, meaning I only eat until I am
no longer hungry.
Because I have been doing this, I get full much easier and
therefore continue to keep my portions small.
I try to eat foods that are full of nutrients.
I do have 1 cookie or a bite of cupcake every so often.
But, I keep it in check and just a tiny bit.
I don't want to throw away all my hard work in 2 minutes of
consuming a food, ya know?
Also, I am drinking a lot of water all day and night.

My weakness is at night with my stomach is grumbling for a snack.
I don't deny myself, but I chose something low calorie
like the healthy pop corn or celery sticks.
I also wear tight fitting pants to keep me aware 
as to why I am being good.
The tight pants are REALLY helping.

Below is me on Saturday for a neon party.

And here is a close up of my make up
The filter I used on the picture made me look all orange, oops!

I found a $1.99 eye shadow palette at a beauty supply that had
all the neon colors I needed.
So, I used  them and added some false eye lashes and glitter to 
complete my neon look.

KIKO 643 and Swap package

Hey there!
I recently received a package from a swap buddy in Austria.
She was kind enough to find some of the new texture polishes for me.
This is one of the ones she found for me.
Kiko 643 is shown here in 2 coats.
The fresh spring green has gold shimmer accents.
The stay time was great.
 I wore this manicure for 2.5 days and
with no top coat or bonder base. 
It did not show tip wear much less chips.
 I have so many pretties that need love, so I removed it.
I loved wearing this polish.
I love how texture polish dries fast and looks
shimmery without top coat.

Below you can see the entire package I received.
She added a bunch of extras like
lip balm, lip cream, lip stick, face cream, nail glitter, and nail polishes.
She was a sweetheart to add all those items.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kiko 255

Kiko 255

Hello, here is a pretty purple polish with tiny holographic glitter accents.
This is 2 coats of Kiko 255 and 1 coat of Out the Door top coat.
This lasted a couple of days with no chipping before I took it off.
I really like this polish and am glad I swapped for it.
I am not sure where you can purchase this polish since its from the Italy.
(Thanks for the correction Simona ;)

And here is a lipstick I wore today.
Its Maybelline 14 hour lipstick in Eternal Rose.
This is 2 layers and dries a little dry.
If you do have naturally dry lips, I suggest not wearing it.
But, otherwise it is a decent lipstick
that lasts a good while with good color payoff.


Thanks for stopping by!

Kiko 401

Kiko 401 (3 coats)
Top coat

Hey! Today is another holographic polish. 
This one was given to me by a sweet lady from Italy for my birthday.
It was a wish list polish.
So, of course I wanted it because of other reviews 
and swatches that I have seen and read.
Most of what I read said the formula was great.
For me, this polish had a funky formula.
What I mean by that is, it is thick, 
like Color Club holo (Worth the Risque).
The holographic pay of is about the same
 as the older Color Clubs, too.
However, it was streaky and seemed like 
it should have been opaque in 1 coat.
But, I kept getting weird patches. 
I even waited 10 minutes between coats.
The last 2 coats were just to try and cover
 the weird patches I had.
Because the formula is thick,
 it took a long time to dry with 3 coats.

The color of this polish is gorgeous though. 
Its "Peacock Green", but its more like a medium light blue 
with hints of green at certain angles, but mostly just blue.

You can see in my pictures that I took them in different degrees of sun.
The top photo is in direct sunlight.
The below photo is through my dark tint in my car window with sun light.


Below is another photo of Kiko 401 in direct sunlight.


Below is Kiko 401 in the shade.
Sorry for the blurry pic.
 And on Saturday I went to Magnetic Music Festival.
 I wore neon skittle nails.
 And by the way DJ Flux Killed it!

Darling Diva Polish X-Rated

Darling Diva Polish X Rated (3 coats)
Hey, I purchased this polish on Etsy in August.
I finally got around to wearing it.
I really really like this one. 
The base is a hot pink jelly. 
The glitter are matte and mixed in rainbow colors.
It wore really well for a couple of days.
I do not think she makes this polish anymore.
 But, you can CLICK HERE to visit Darling Diva Polish etsy store.
I have a couple more of her polishes, Witchy Woman and Ringer.
I really like both.
I recommend this indie brand to try, if you haven't already.

I didn't put a bottle picture. 
The lip gloss has nothing to do with the polish, 
but its the only other picture I took of X rated, lol.

Below is another polish I wore after this one.
I received it in a swap.
Its my only Kiko.

Kiko 401 (2 coats)
The whole day was rainy, so I couldn't get a sun picture.
But, this was a pretty scattered holo with a good coverage formula.

And below is another polish I received in swap.
Cult Nails Flushed.
This is 3 coats.
