MOSTLY MAYBELLINE LOOK + FIT ME TRIAL

since I posted my haul featuring the Fit Me foundation by Maybelline, there has been a lot of people asking me what I think about it... so I decided to try it out & do a review on it.... & while I'm on it, I thought I'd have fun & do a look with mostly Maybelline products... so here it is....

PRODUCTS USED:

& now for the pics...

I included a lot of close up shots for you to see how the application looks like.... no editting done.... usually, I would erase a few blemishes so instead of you getting distracted with my zits, you can just enjoy the details of the look.. but I dunno if you have noticed, I haven't been editting any of my pictures for a while now.... YAY to better looking, healthier skin.... ***happy dance***

so please feel free to click on any images to enlarge....

at this point I don't wanna deliver the verdict as of yet... I decided if I'm gonna do a review on this product, I wanna try it a couple more times for a proper review.... but this I would tell you (based on today's look), I'm lovin it....

what do you all think?? does it 'FIT ME'?

NOTW: SAVED BY THE BLUE & BUFFY THE VIOLET SLAYER

Wet n Wild

Saved by the Blue 230C

I could not quite capture how the color looks like in person, I think this last picture is the closest I can get....

Wet n Wild

Buffy the Violet Slayer 231C

on this one too, the color is appearing to be a little on the blue side but it's really a pretty shade of Violet in person.... really gorgeous toe color... but please excuse my crusty ass feet... I forgot to lotion up before taking the pictures... LOL

anyhoo, this was a post requested by FunnyFaceBeauty on this haul post.... also, click HERE if you'd like to see the post on the Gray's Anatomy shade...

SHATTERED TEENAGE DREAM

this NOTD was actually done back in the first week of February... with all the craze about the new crackle polishes from China Glaze I hope it's not too late to post this....

PRODUCTS USED:

Seche Base Ridge Filling Base Coat

O.P.I. Teenage Dream

O.P.I. Black Shatter

Seche Vite Top Coat

from the Katy Perry Collection 

isn't it pretty in the bottle too??

2 coats of Teenage Dream 

3 coats of Teenage Dream 

up close 

1 coat Black Shatter

I think I like it without top coat, it has that rugged look to it... like it's very unpolished... if that makes sense 

after applying Seche Vite 

right hand 

I think the Teenage Dream is already pretty by itself but the Black Shatter does give it a mysterious effect with the Teenage Dream just barely peeking through the cracks... I love it but it's a pain in the bumbum to remove... you need loads & loads of cotton balls & nail polish remover & about 10 hours of your time... anyhoo, I think it's all worth it, I got a lot of compliments on it & people ask me what it is & where I got it from....

do you guys have any of the nail polishes from this collection?? which one is your favorite to put under the Black Shatter???

M.I.A. NO MO! + JAN-FEB COLLECTIVE HAUL
