Borghese Stellare Notte Nail Of The Day

A Halloween Nail of the Day

 

 

I decided to go with something a bit more dark but still fun for my nails this week. I felt like letting out my inner goth a bit, after all Halloween is in a couple days!




 I picked this polish up ages ago and when digging through my stash I knew it was exactly what I was in the mood for. Stellare Notte is a duo-chrome polish that gives off a either a black, dark purple, or dark green tint depending on how you are looking at it. I forgot how much I love this polish and will be moving it to the front of my collection so I will reach for it more often!

 

Duo chrome polishes are so fun I really want to add a few more to my collection! I would love some recommendations, leave me a comment below!

Urban Decay The Naked Vault

I had originally planned a different post for today but when I saw this come across the world wide web I knew it was too good not to share! Behold Urban Decay's ultra limited edition Naked Vault collection. This bad boy isn't the cheapest of the holiday kits that is for sure (Retail is $280 but UD is saving you about $90 dollars on all the products by buying it in this gift set) but it is one of the most exciting! This kit includes ALL 3... yes count em 3 of the Naked Pallets  along with the three coordinating 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencils, Naked Flushed in Naked, Native or Streak, and three shades of Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipglosses in Nooner, Rule34 or Streak. This will be available from UrbanDecay.com on 10/30, Be sure to set a reminder because these are sure to go fast!

Check out more pictures on the PIXIWOO blog.

Will you be picking this one up?! I hope I can get my hands on one!

P.S. You can buy this now at sephora online only though!

IT Cosmetics Your Most Radiant You 5pc. Collection

Your Most Radiant You

 

 

 

By now you all know my love of buying beauty related TSVs from QVC. They are always such a steal and usually feature products that are of superb quality, often these sets are exclusive to QVC so you can't get them at your local beauty store. I had told myself no more beauty purchases for a little while and then the next day I saw this collection was on TSV (if you don't know TSV stands for Today Special Value... which means awesome prices!). Obviously I broke that goal.

 

 I have been dying to try out some of the products from IT cosmetics . I have seen them around for a while mostly on QVC but in recent months I have seen them explode all over the beauty sphere! Especially since becoming available in local Ulta stores. I plan on doing a more in-depth review on some of these products in the future but since I have only been using it for about a week I just wanted to share the collection and give you my initial impression. That would be that this set is freaking amazing! The price was awesome on TSV and is still a pretty good value when it's full price. All of the products are such high quality and pigmentation I think I might be a converter to this brand!

 

 

The collection includes

• Celebration Foundation Illumination, I picked the color light.
• Hello Lashes! Extensions Mascara in Black.
• No Tug Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Black/Brown.
• CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush in Je Ne Sais Quoi  (this name reminds me of the new Sonic commercial which cracks me up... see it here for a giggle.)
• Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush.
• I also recieved 2 sample freebies!

Pumpkin Carving Party



A New Halloween Tradition

 

Last week we made the last minute decision to have a few friends over to show them our new place and carve a few pumpkins. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays so I jumped at the chance to put together a festive table spread and thought why not share it with all of you!
