China Glaze Poolside Collection Swatches and Review

I love neons. I think because I was born in January my sign gravitates me to bright shiny things and bright neon colors. Needless to say, like many, I have  a short attention span and I will stop paying attention if something bright catches my eye

Available April 2010 but you may see them appear online in March.

Distributors that sell China Glaze at great prices.

Beauty From The Earth Swatches

I wrote this post before seeing their latest twitter. I am going to leave this up.

My heart and prayers goes out to Crystal’s family. I will leave this post up because I am sure that any purchases made will contribute to any financial responsibilities that are needed. But I am going to take any other sad words off line since I want it to remain private. XO Elessa

Beauty from the Earth mineral shadows have been one of my favorite mineral shadows for a long time. I’ve known the Crystal for over 3 years and she has been always super kind and supportive of vloggers. She was one of the first supporters and did a huge giveaway for pursebuzz.com back in early 2007. I am so happy that at the recent visit to TMS we were FINALLY able to meet  in person.

She gave me this bag with a bunch of samples to try out and have some fun. Since I was doing that I figured I’d snap some pics while I was at it.

I am going to do a full review tomorrow. It took ages to do swatches but I did pick out my super faves. I am gonna do some quick looks too <3

The ones I picked out are extremely unique and I think you will like them too

Oscar Nominee Beauty Predictions by Milani Cosmetics

Milani highlights some beauty looks we might expect to see (or hope to see) on some of the leading ladies (Sandra, Carey, Gabourey, Penelope) this Sunday!

Actress in a Leading Role:

Sandra Bullock in “The Blind Side” Sandra Bullock wore a gorgeous purple dress to Golden Globes, and we would love to see that color incorporated into her makeup. She has beautiful brown eyes, so using Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows in Couture in Purples for eyeshadow, Liquif’eye Black as liner, toping it off with Milani’s Power Lash would make her eyes very impactful.

Quick Inglot Ideas and Test Run

Here are two super quick Inglot looks to check out. This is the first time I put them on my lids and they are amazing. Soft, pigmented and they look great on camera. I hope this gives you a better idea of what the shadows look like on the lids. These colors are super sparkly and I love it!!!

I just put on a little MAC Creme Color Base Nude prior to shadow application. A little goes a long way with these colors. I am diggin’ the small glitters in the shadows. It almost looks like dancin’ water.
