Looks We Love: White Hair

As I've already confessed, I'm addicted to changing my hair, specifically dyeing it.

Maybe it's my love affair with all things Daenerys Targaryen but I've been borderline obsessed with white hair lately.

I think it is so striking and unique on almost every single person I've seen it on. 



So, I've decided I will be calling up my hair-dresser pretty soon and making myself an appointment! If I knew I could do it at home without my hair falling out, I totally would. But, since I have such dark hair It's probably better to let a professional handle it.

What do you all think about this bold hair statement? What's the bravest hair decision you've ever tried, or wanted to try?

Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo

First, PLEASE vote for me in the Karmaloop Modeling Contest! Winners announced 06/06/2013! If I win I will do a giveaway of some KL swag! ;) thanks so much!!

Okay, okay. I know, I know. Let me just dust off this keyboard and monitor and get back to blogging!

Seriously though, I'm sorry for being MIA since the giveaway announcement. I started to get a little overwhelmed by the blog/youtube/instagram/keek etc, etc... 

I was feeling more like a 2nd job than something fun and therapeutic. Now that I've worked out the kinks, it's time to get back to business!

Now, I realize that i'm probably a little late to the "Color Tattoo Cruise Ship", but better late than never, right?

I've been eyeing these babies in Walgreens for months. Finally, they had another Buy One, Get one 1/2 off sale, so i decided why not? It's basically like buy 3, get one free. So I talked myself into it. (I didn't need a lot of convincing...)

They are regular priced $6.99ea. I would have paid around $30, but instead I paid around $22 (after taxes). I also gained enough points to redeem $5, so i'll be getting a 5th one for around $2!

I picked up "Painted Purple", "Bold Gold", "Pomegranate Punk" and "Ready, Set, Green!"


Here are some swatches...

Pros:
-Color Payoff
-Size
-Longevity*
-Availability

Cons:
-Longevity*
-Stains

Overall: 4/5 stars. 

I'm only deducting a star because it stains. I tried out a look with the gold last night and its still on, 24 hours later. At least the product lives up to its name! I'll probably be wearing these swatches tomorrow on my wrist at work.

What do you think? Have you tried the 24-hr color tattoos before? Can you suggest a 5th color for me to get? What are some other long lasting cream shadows that you like?

Ipsy Glam Bag: May 2013

Yay! It's time again for another IPSY Glam Bag review! 


FYI - If you're interested in joining IPSY, please use my special code here. I do get IPSY points, which I can redeem for fun stuff. You can get them too when your join and share your link with your friends and they join!

When I got my tracking code email this month I was very excited to find that we would be getting a bonus item! There is almost no situation where getting a bonus is bad, right? I was even more excited when I read the email and found out what it was! (don't worry, we'll get to that ::winwink::)

I tried to film a video for this, but I'm having issues getting the video converted into a format that I can edit, without it glitching up. I'm exploring different avenues but if you have any suggestions on programs you like to edit with please share!

This month we received 6 products, so let's jump right in!


Full Price: $8.00

I do love some Zoya nail polish! I was not/am not thrilled at the color for myself. I usually gravitate towards pinks, reds and neutrals, but i'm giving it an honest go and hoping it grows on me! The quality of Zoya is great and it's a popular brand.


Full Price: $4.85
Full 20 Concealer Pallete: $100.00

This was my most confusing item in the bag. I thought the color would be too light, but it's actually a perfect match. I think the "or" to this item was an Anastasia brow pencil and i would have much rather had that. The packaging is not meant for long-term and now I need to buy a free-style magnet palette, though, this may give me an excuse to by some MUG shadows!


Full Price: $24.00

I'm looking at this wondering, "Did they see me in my sundress over the weekend?" I am SO SO SO pale on my legs, and I'm actually pretty excited to try this product! I don't reach for them while i'm shopping for myself, because I'm afraid of looking like an oompa-loompa and waiting money. I'll probably be doing an update of this item.

Full Price: $29.00

I have heard SO many great things about NUME and even though I have short hair, I love serums and sprays and texturizers! I can't wait to give this a try as well.

Full Price: $15.00

I don't own any lipgloss. Wipe that shocked look off your face. This gloss smells like mixed berries and, even thought the name is "pink", it's really more of a deep cranberry mixed with a hint of cherry red. It's pretty gorgeous on!

BONUS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Full Price: $20.00

Are. You. Seeing. This?! THIS was our bonus for May! If you can't tell i'm freaking excited as hell-o! When I saw that this was the bonus product, I rushed to the Urban Decay website and was totally drawn to this color, Stargazer. It's described on the website as a "metallic lime-gold w/gold 3D sparkle" Could it be any more perfect? *sigh*

Total Product Value: $100.85!!!!
* = full sized product
**all products were full sized this month

As if you guys needed another reason to CLICK THIS LINK and join in on the IPSY phenomenon! Disclaimer: I did have to wait for two months on a waiting list for a spot, but as you can very well see, it's totally worth it!

Honestly, this bag pales in comparison to my first in April, but you should totally check out that post anyway! Also, a big congrats to Heather over at Reverie 17 for making the leap to IPSY. She credits my April bag post and I'm glad I could sway her!

Seriously, I hope you enjoyed this overview/review of my IPSY Glam Bag!
