NOTD: Cupcake nails!!

Hey Guys!
K, so, anyone who knows me, knows I love cupcakes. Everything about them. Loves. Cupcakes.
So, when I seen cupcake nails circulating on google, I had to do them...
I first did them on my friend Ashley (they were a part of her birthday nails seen here!!), and I loved them. A few nights ago I decided to give them a go again, and I did all of my fingers with cupcakes on them :)
The only thing I would have changed is my colour choices. I don't know how I feel about the yellow cups. Hahaha.
Oh, I also bought a crazy florescent light bulb too, so Im hoping that will make some of my pictures brighter.
Here they areee:
More pic's and products used after the jump!

Mini Haul

Hey, here's a mini haul for you guys!
Not Shown: Burts Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter & Beautique Lip Liner in Currant, Nivea Lip Hydrocare

Left to Right: Never Glum Plum, Shower Together, China Rouge, Electric Sapphire

I bought the first three polishes at my local Sally's Beauty Supply. The Nina Ultra Pro polish in Never Glum Plum ($5.99 with a Sally's member card) isn't showing up well in the picture. It's actually this gorgeous grey tinted plum colour. I'll do swatches of these as soon as I get a nail wheel. The China Glaze  ($5.49) colours are a lot deeper in person. The Shower Together blue is an amazing. Electric Sapphire I picked up half off at Icing (Reg $5).



Left to Right: Sultry Violet, Vivid Plum, White Diamond, Precious Pink
 This is another Flaunt Beauty palette from Icing (I bought while picking up giveaway goodies!) This one is "Parisian Plum" The Sultry Violet colour is a darker version of Never Glum Plum. They're all a satin finish. The Vivid Plum is a rich brownish purple.  White Diamond is your standard white. Precious pink is exactly what it sounds like, a very soft pink.  I'm excited to do a FOTD with this palette! I also added in a NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk (hint hint) that I've had for awhile. I'm gonna do a review/comparison with these very soon. 

So that's my little haul! The giveaway stuff should be posted soon, we just have to get it all together and take pictures and talk about the rules.  I hope you guys are excited!

Review: Flaunt Beauty Palette

About a month ago, while wasting time on a lunch break, I decided to check out Icing by Claire's selection of make up and brushes. I really needed a new blending brush for concealer (works wonders! I'll post more about it soon).  A few things had caught my eye previously, but I was a little skeptical of the quality. Lets face it, we've all bought some pretty crappy things from Claires! I walked in and was greeted with "All our make up products are buy one, get one half off" I knew I had picked the right day!  Immediately, the cute packaging caught my eye.  I'm a sucker for anything vintage/pinup. The first palette I picked up was Flaunt Beauty in Smoke Screen, for the life of me I can't remember any of the other ones after I saw the colours this palette featured.



It came with four eyeshadow, a little sponge tipped applicator with a mirrored cover. The eyeshadow are the same size as a MAC eyeshadow for those of you familiar with them. From left to right, you have Champagne (I'm a champagne fiend!), Silk, Charcoal Black, and Fog in the City.  Champagne is comparable to Lancome's Cream Luster (my all time favourite shadow). Silk is a wonderful natural highlight colour for those of us with the gift of ghost. The Charcoal Black is a great matte deep grey colour, perfect for a "classy" smokey eye. Fog in the City is comparable to MAC's Satin Taupe, which is another staple for me. All these colours have great pay off and last through out the day. For a palette that cost me 8.99 Canadian, it is beyond worth it. I've used at least one shadow from this quad every day since purchase. It has the cutest packaging and would be great for your travel make up bag or to just keep in your purse!

Another shot of the cute packaging! and the demon in the mirror...
Sorry for the quality of the swatch, I haven't mastered the technique yet!


Rating: 8/10
I will definitely be purchasing more from Icing!
