so tired...

So very, very tired. Getting ready to face an 8 hour shift today, followed by a 7.5 hr one tomorrow. I'm off Monday (hopefully the bf and I will be heading to Busch Gardens), then I work Tuesday- Saturday. >.<  I should also mention 2 of these shifts are closing shifts, which I hate with a passion, especially during the holidays. On the plus side, this should make for a fairly decent paycheck, and I can finally do some damn Christmas shopping!
Anyways, there's a few looks I've taken pictures of that just haven't made it up yet for one reason or another. Here's one of them:
Products used:
Eyes: Urban Decay cream shadow in Delinquent, Pretty Addictions' Wicked, Mary-Kate and Ashley glitter in Night. (Side note- I love this glitter. I could give two shits about the Olsen affiliation. It's a gorgeous black glitter with pretty holo glittery bits mixed in. Amazing. )
Lips: Urban Decay Lip Junkie in Crush over Urban Decay lipstick in Jilted . I am officially in love with Crush. I stopped in Sephora the other day while I was out an about, and this just happened to be a different Sephora then my normal haunt. So I walked around for a minute, trying to see if there was anything pretty I could test out. I spotted the Lip Junkie and impulsively decided that was the sample I would take home. The sales girl gave me the teenyist amount, so I may have to actually go back and buy a full size... *sigh* But it'd be worth it. The lip junkies have the minty tingly goodness, which is a huge bonus for me, and Crush is gorgeous on my lips. Damn near perfect lip gloss, IMO.


 Woah, check out the mega sparkle on one eye only -.- not sure why that happened :(


I'm not terribly thrilled with how i look in any of these pictures..I rarely do dark eyeshadow, and this may be why 0.o
That's it for now.

Pretty Addictions review

So I've mentioned once or twice here how much I love Pretty Addictions cosmetics...Well, what do you think you're getting in this post? Yup!
I haven't ordered anythin from PA in about 6 months, but believe me, I've been drooling over the eye candy goodies since then. I was being good nd not buyin, until Kas had to torment us on her FB page on Monday (Halloween) saying that every order placed that day would receive something extra in their order. So Idid what any makeup addict would do when faced with that offer..I placed an order. This time it was just for 3 clamshell samples. I ordered Electic Lemonade, Gossip, and Wicked.
I placed my order Monday (The day before the bf and I's no spend november was set to kick off...one final purchase..) and it arrived Friday. Great TAT, although I admit, I was already impatient come Wednesday to get my goodies. When they came, it took all I had not to rip into them at the mailbox. But I refrained, in order to take a picture for all of you. You're welcome.
Love the leopard print wrapping everything comes in ;)

Here's what was inside:
The three small containers came shrinked wrapped together, whch I loved..it prevents spillage. The trick or treat sticker hides the extra surprise that was thrown in with my order.

This is everytinhg that came with my order. Remember, my camera sucks, so this isn't the most clear picture in the world.
Let's take a closer look at what I got!



Electric Lemondae. There's not much difference in the two pictures, but I felt you could see the sparkle better in the bottom shot. In both pictures, Lemonade was swatched on bare skin (top stripe) and over NXY white Base Camp primer(bottom stripe)

I love this color! It's so vibrant, but not garish. This seems to be a cousin of Obnoxious...one that's not quite a party animal,lol

Gossip. This one is super super pretty, and probably my favorite out of all I ordered. It really pops, as you can see above, over primer. I'm going to be using this in a look today, pictures later.


Wicked: I have to admit, I flip-flopped a bit before ordering this one. I have way too many black shadows that go unused in my drawer, simply because I am not a black shadow girl. Never have been. But Wicked looked to damn interesting to pass up, so I went ahead and got it. I'm glad I did. The sparkle in this is awesome, and it's got an almost purple tone. It's also super pigmented, even on bare skin (right swatch)

Fiona: This is the bagged sample I got for free (Kas is known to include a free baggie sample with purchases. Last time I ordered, I got Bloom, wh  ich I love) Fiona is a pretty brown color, but honestly, browns aren't really my thing. I'll have to figure out a use for this baby. (bare skin swatch on right.)

Finally...my special treat!

This is Hocus Pocus. A color from Pretty Addictions'   Dancing With The Devil collection. When I opened this, all I could say was ''wow''. Pictures do this one NO justice. It;s described on the website as a duochrome that works best with a base ( bare skin swatch on right for comparison.) Goregeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS.


For comparitive purposes, Hocus Pocus is on the bottom. That's right, it was a delux sized sample she threw in , for free, in addition to the bagged sample. <3

Like Isaid, there will be a look later with Gossip, I can't wait to show it off!
