Wet & Wild Creme Liner & PedEgg

Wet & Wild never ceases to amze me. I've been trying out their products a lot more since the quality isn't bad for the price. The creme liner however is my favorite product from the line. I've been wanting to write a review on this for a while but I am super lazy. Anyway this liner can easily compete with liners from higher-end brands it's really good and the staying power is amazing, it did not come off until I applied makeup remover to it. I told my best friend about it and now she loves it too. The best part is that it's 2.99! Definitely can't beat that.

Pros: easy to apply, long lasting, doesn't smudge, great price

Cons: the brush it comes with is too stiff and it's terrible but I use my slanted eye brush to apply it.

I also tried out the PedEgg after I saw it at the 99 cents store for two dollars. It does work but it did make me gag when I opened the little compartment. I like to use it when my feet are a lttle wet since I'm very ticklish and it works better on wet skin.  I will not be posting pictures, I don't think you would like to see my pulverized calluses.

I Finally Found It!

The perfect shade of grey..a grey that's not shimmery and yet it doesn't make my hands look like they belong to a cadaver. The shade is called Chin-Chilly by Essie and i'm definitely buying tons of this stuff to have on hand. I found it at the nail salon because the drugstores don't carry alot of Essie shades. This color is the new beige for me..at least for now.

My Wish List for Winter

Just some of the stuff I'm craving...

Jimmy Choo for H&M Rhinestone Crystal Dress ($275.00 H&M)
Days after the line debuted, it got sold out! I really want this dress, I love the crystals on it and it would be perfect for New Year's Eve.

Essie Nail Polish in Perky Purple ($8 essie.com)

Purple's my favorite color and this shade is lovely and a way to brighten up those dreary winter days.

Tashkent by Cheyenne grey suede ankle boots ($375 bluefly.com)

These are great because they go with everything. Great to wear to hang out in the weekend, they go perfect without either skinny jeans or a cute dress and tights.

Sequined Jacket as seen on Karl (below)

I love it! It's so flashy and a great statement piece. Too bad it's so crazy expensive but I hope to find a dupe.

Sedu Pro Ionic  Creamic ProTourmaline Flat Iron ($120 folica.com)

I have naturally curly hair which I'm not too fond of. I know I should love my hair the way it is but I just have too much hair and it can be a pain in the butt so I like to keep it straight most of the time. I'm planning on getting one of these since I've read the great reviews.I ope to review it too once I get it.

So what are you looking forward to purchasing this winter? Let me know!

Dakota Fanning at "New Moon" Premiere

I am not a "Twilight" fan. To be honest, I think it's overrated and that the Harry Potter series is more imaginative. However, at the premiere for the second installment of the "Twilight" saga, Dakota Fanning stepped out looking beautiful in a lacy Valentino dress and two-tone Dolce and Gabanna shoes. I really love the shoes, they're fun and the red satin looks great with the dress. She looked very elegant and sexy and I love how she showed some skin but didn't go over the top. Many celebrities in her age group (ahem Miley Cyrus!) try to look too mature but with this look Dakota nailed it. She managed to look sophisticated and didn't look like she was raiding her mother's closet.

Beyonce & Lady Gaga Team Up for "Video Phone"

Beyonce and Lady Gaga have teamed up for the song "Video Phone" but the fierceness was only halfway when it came to the fashion in the video released for the singles. Beyonce's ultra-feminine and sexy style had an influence on Lady Gaga since her wardrobe was a little more tame than the wild attire we are so used to seeing her in. I was a little disappointed about that, I found some of the outfits to be kind of tacky. I would have loved to see B emulate Gaga in some crazy get-up, the whole leotard thing is getting kind of old for me. The make-up was awesome, with Beyonce rocking lots of eye makeup and contrasting lip liner. Lady Gaga looks a lot thinner, she looked tiny next to curvy Beyonce.

One of my favorite elements of the video is the hot male entourage that B has in the beginning of the video, a reference to the film "Reservoir Dogs". This is a hot collaboration and I hope to see more Lady Gaga-Beyonce collaborations. You can check out the video below:

Rihanna's New Video "Wait Your Turn"

This is unlike her other videos, it's more gritty and tough. It really reminds me of rap videos in the 90s and there's a part where she has her midriff out that really reminds me of the late Aaliyah. Maybe that eye patch she's sporting is some kind of tribute to her or maybe Slick Rick because it's an odd choice for an accessory. Rihanna certainly likes to take risks but she looks great for the most part. I really like the ultra dark eyeliner she's sporting, it goes great with the black and white.

Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez looked AMAZING in a nude-colored one shoulder dress with jeweled detailing. She completed the look with a chic side bun and glam make-up. I love how the red lips look with the dress and hair. It all went wonderfully. So elegant and not to over the top.

Forever21 Promo

Forever21 is debuted their first makeup line Love & Beauty. I'm curious to see what they come out with.  I'm surprised that a few beauty bloggers have turned up their noses. There's lots of great inexpensive makeup out there. Anyway, in honor of their new line, they're offering a 10% discount on their makeup items, just enter the code MAKEUP10. Also if you spend 75 bucks or more, you get a sample of their lip gloss.
