Rimmel Apocalips FINALLY In The US?!

Hey everyone!

Quick post, but I just saw on Nouveau Cheap's blog that the Rimmel Apocalips are FINALLY in the US!
They're called Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer though, but it's the same packaging!

Why they changed the name I don't know. However, I'm insanely excited. I've got one of them (Apocalips) and it's amazing! Rose did a fantastic job picking it out! I'm insanely happy that they are finally here, now I can get them all!

There will be 14 shades in the US while the UK only has 8 of them.
If you don't want to go searching the stores for them They are ALREADY available at drugstore.com and also Walgreens.com but from what I have seen most are sold out on Walgreens.
Drugstore.com has them for $5.49 and Walgreens has them as $4.99. I'm definitely waiting until they come in store. Maybe I'll check around Orlando when I am there! :P

Oh! For reference, I have Celestial. It's the same US/UK. I'll do a post tomorrow on it because all of my makeup is not at the apartment so I don't have it D: #sucks

Tis all! Hope you have an amazing night!

Zoya Blu



Hey everyone!

Blu is from Zoya's Lovely for Spring 2013 collection. Blu is a pale pastel blue color with a cream finish.

When I first saw this color, I wasn't sure what to think of it, I don't have ANY pale blue shades like this, or really any blues in my collection (shame on me).

I want to warn you before we get farther into the post. Don't judge my application skills, I seriously applied this in half darkness with only my computer screen as a light. I don't suggest it, but that is how I did it. So it's kind of messy. Don't be too harsh on me!! *shields self*

My Thoughts:
This serum is nice, but I feel that it definitely would be better suited for people with dryer skin. Since I have oily skin I don't think that this is completely perfect for me. While I do really think that this is fantastic, it just did not agree with my skin. I actually felt that it made me a bit more oily. I used this at night because I felt that it would suit me better than using it twice a day. When I woke up my skin felt nice and silky, but it was a bit greasy. 

I do really like that this isn't weighted down with ingredients, I mean 4! That is pretty awesome! I feel that this is priced reasonably considering what it does. Although it did make my skin feel nice, I just don't think it's for me. 

As per the packaging... I'm kind eh about it. I'm not an insane fan of the dropper because if you aren't insanely careful you will get too much. Other than that it is okay. 

Disclaimer; I was sent this product for free from iFabbo for OWN.

ORLY Megapixel FX - Aqua Pixel




Hello!

I've been really enjoying doing these nail polish posts! :D I've bought about 15 bottles of nail polish in the past 2 weeks honestly. I think my addiction is back into full swing! 

ORLY's Megapixel FX collection is their version of textured polishes. This is my first textured polish, I would love to try the other ones, but that will have to wait! :( (sad)
The Nail polish that we are going to be talking about today is Aqua Pixel. The color is exactly as the name says. This nail polish reminds me of being out 10+ miles out from land on a boat in the Gulf Of Mexico. This is so pretty and reminds me of the water! The textured aspect of this polish isn't anything crazy, it's actually a really fine texture that isn't annoying. 
This is with no top coat

FOTD 16 Bold Eye Liner!

Hullu!

I hope you all are doing well!
This is the eye look that I wore yesterday (May 17th). I wanted to do something simple, but use a "bold" eyeliner.

I'm a little frazzled on how this turned out. One moment everything was okay and the next minute there was bumps, lumps and smudges! Seriously. it's my luck! When I started taking pictures everything looked good, then by the end of it, it went downhill. Pft.




It's all good though. it's not crazy noticeable unless you are in my face.


Blurry, but you kind of get the point of the look right?

I wanted the blue eyeliner to be the main focus of my eyes, I didn't make it crazy because it's pretty bold itself. I've had this eyeliner a long time but never tried it because I was too afraid it would compete with my blue eyes, but I quite like it! :D Whoopie!

EYES:
Milani Eye shadow Primer
Urban Decay Naked Palette: 
Naked (lid)
Creep (outer corner/crease) 
A mixture of Buck, Smog, Darkhorse & Hustle smudged along the bottom lash line.
Myface Cosmetics SLINKY Metal Liquid Liner - Bell bottom Blues
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner - Radium (tightliner)

I used the Maybelline Shine Free Pressed Powder in Soft Cameo and dusted it all over my face. 
I'm testing this but so far am not impressed.


Have you tried a bold eyeliner before?!
