OPI You Don't Know Jacques!

This nail color may not be everyone's cup of tea--it's not exactly a color you would call pretty or girly. I had certainly assumed it was not a color for me. However, I must admit that now, after wearing it, I'm a bit obsessed with OPI You Don't Know Jacques! There is definitely a reason that this color is a cult classic in the beauty world!

 OPI You Don't Know Jacques is dark and chic grey-taupe and in my opinion, one of the most perfect neutral shades! It goes with anything and I can't help but feel stylish and elegant whenever I wear this polish! It's the perfect blend of warm chocolate and grey.

Surprisingly flattering, You Don't Know Jacques is up there with my favorite winter shades. I'm not sure I would wear this in the spring and summer (especially because I prefer to wear bright or vibrant colors during that time) so now is the perfect time to wear this shade.

Application is smooth and quick thanks to the OPI brushes (they are quite big and cover the nail in 2 easy swipes). This color also wore surprisingly well--literally lasted a week with hardly any touchups! Can't say enough good things about it!! I bought mine at Ulta but I'm sure you'd be able to find it at places where OPI nail polish is sold!

Do you like wearing neutral shades like brown, nude, or taupe on your nails?!

    OMG< how funny the last time I got a pedi a couple weeks ago I picked this color because I thought the name was so funny and I wanted a dark neutral shade. It looks amazing on you and I really like this shade!

    Most of my nail polishes are either red, pink, or purple. I am slowly building my collection :)

Bronze Eyeshadow Swatches: Mac Tempting, Urban Decay Smog, Nars Kalahari, & Inglot

Image
If I had to choose a favorite eyeshadow color to use, my favorite would most definitely be a shimmery bronzey brown. Call me boring when there are so many vibrant colors to choose from, but I can't help it! I absolutely love a shimmery chocolate smokey eye more than anything else. I think brown is flattering on all eye colors and it can be made subtle enough for daytime or dramatic for evening. I just hit pan on two bronze colors in my eyeshadow collection so I thought I'd do some comparison swatches for you before I finish them up! Inglot 409 on the left, Nars Kalahari on the top, Urban Decay Smog in the middle and Mac Tempting (with the huge bit of pan showing!) on the right! Comparison swatches! L-R Inglot 409, Urban Decay Smog, Mac Tempting, Nars Kalahari From Left to right: Inglot 409 pearl: This bronze has a bit more red warmth to it, especially compared to Urban Decay Smog and is a bit darker--though I do think it's similar on the lid. Both 409 and

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Review and giveaway (CLOSED)!!!!

Image
A while ago I was contacted by Anna from Reviva Labs to review one of their most popular products, the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer. I was very excited because I've always been curious about Reviva Labs--I've seen their products at my nearby Ulta and Whole Foods Market. Some quick information on Reviva Labs that I gathered from their site that I found interesting: -" For over 38 Years Reviva Labs has been producing all natural skin-care products that help leave your skin healthier and more youthful-looking." -" No animal testing! Before it was even an issue   (way back in 1973), we announced the testing of our products in skin-care salons rather than on animals" - The first to introduce exfoliation to america... with our European LIGHT SKIN PEEL (We were explaining the importance of exfoliation years before the cosmetics giants introduced their versions) Now onto the Makeup Primer. It  is a silicone based primer that is not only fragrance free but also packe

Inglot Eyeshadow Swatches!

Image
*Please also see updated January 2013 swatches posted   here Inglot is a fantastic makeup company that I discovered last year. They originated in Poland and have become more and more popular in the United States despite the small number of stores available. Inglot has all types of makeup products, but so far I've only tried the eyeshadows--but I am completely infatuated with them. I've had them for a long time but am finally getting around to posting about them now! Inglot has an absurd number of different colors to choose from subtle neutrals to vivid brights. The quality is absolutely amazing--every single eyeshadow I've bought from Inglot is buttery smooth with insane pigmentation! Even more amazing is the price tag--$5 a shadow! They are particularly famous for their mattes--they aren't chalky or dry at all and like the other finishes, blend effortlessly. All the finishes last all day over a primer. Honestly, i think they are more pigmented and smoother tha
