NOTD ZOYA Pandora & Revlon Sweet Nothings Nude Nightie

 I got Pandora in this month's Birchbox (which I didn't get a chance to take pictures of since it came while my in laws were here). I absolutely love it so much. It's a gorgeous nude pink with subtle silver pearl. Last week I wore it on its' own and today I reapplied it but with Nude Nightie (pink opal glitter) on top. I will be doing a post soon on how I take care of my nails. There's no big secret on how I grow them this way they just do. But I'll share some tips.:)





Thanks for reading!:)

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Red Taboo 18

Hi everyone! Red Taboo ($34 for 0.12 oz) is a blue based dark red. Finish is creamy and moisturizing. Nicely pigmented and lasts a few hours before having to reapply. I do have to reapply after I eat, however, which is always the case for me with any cream l/s. Fruity and I love how it tastes/smells. Unfortunately I'm allergic to something in this. I don't know what but it burns like a mo' fo' for a few minutes, like I have hot sauce on my lips. BUT I don't currrr, I love this l/s. I only have this issue with this shade though, I have Red Muse as well and It doesn't burn.


See why I put up with the burn?
Thanks for reading!

My fragrance collection

 Hi everyone! I have quite a few fragrances that I love and would like to share. The types I like are what some people refer to as "Old lady", they go with my style, work best with my chemistry, and H actually prefers these types on me.

L-R Estee Lauder Pleasures, Boucheron, Nanette Lepore, Clinique Happy.

One of my fav things ever are fragrance samples.

Avon Night Magic, Avon Mesmerize, Christian Lacroix Absinthe, Christian Lacroix Rouge, (these two are the ones I get the most compliments on) and Avon Soft Musk.

(Avon) Timeless, Rare Gold, Rare Pearls, and Far Away.
I love some of Avon's fragrances cause they have a lot of their old perfumes with that classic scent I like, especially Timeless. Another perfume I love is Elizabeth Taylor Passion, my mom used to wear It when I was a little Sonia. Now THAT one is classic. I need to pick up a bottle of it. Far Away is my husbands favorite, I used to wear it everyday while we were dating. Now I only wear it on special occasions, our anniversary and Valetine's Day. He always comments on it and says I'm wearing the special perfume. What are your fav fragrances? Which did your mom and grandma wear when you were young?
Thanks for reading!

MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Intense Mat 8

Mat 8 ($19 for 0.12 oz) is a very sexy, very matte bright blue based red. Similar in dryness to Ruby Woo, but glides a tad bit easier and with much more lasting power and much more pigmentation. According to their ad in Sephora's Spring catalog, MUFE Rouge Artist Intense l/s contain 50% more pigment than traditional l/s, and I can say it is totally true. Lasting power of this is just nuts. I can put it on and go on about my day without worrying about touch ups.

CHANEL Prelude

This quad is absolutely delicious. Prelude ($57) is a gorgeous cool toned palette with TWO TAUPES, an ivory with slight pink shimmer, and a soft black. Absolutely tdf and perfect for my red lip fetish. Pigmentation is fabulous and buttery soft like I'd expect from CHANEL. Its great for either a soft daytime look or a full blown smokey eye.






Thanks for reading! <3

NOTD Sinful Colors Cream Pink

Hi everyone! Cream Pink is a beautiful hot pink with gold shimmer (very Bollywood). Not just hot pink, I'm talking HOT pink; very bright. Absolutely a must for summer. I love it so much, which is why I took so many pictures, lol. Got it at Walgreens for $1.99.



Are you in your car driving to Walgreen to get this yet? ;P


Love,

Images from sephora.com
I think I'm gonna like this new Smokey eye palette more than the original, and a matte palette?? FUGGETABOUTIT! So excited for the singles as well, the packaging is so cute. Too Faced e/s are phenomenal, so the more they put out the happier I am.
