Finish 5 By Cinco de Mayo: Update #2




Only 2 days late... I call that a WIN! Yayus!

See my intro post here! Finish 5 by Cinco de Mayo was started by Megsmakeup8!


- Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Purty Persimmon: I'm still chugging along with this one... I can see some use but again I don't use this as much as I would like simply because it can clash with the colors in my outfit. First. World. Problems.



- Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss in Mai-Tai 02: My favorite lip gloss but still the least used lippie in this challenge. I have to admit I love the golden shimmer in it though. I used it maybe 5 more times since my last update. 


- Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Fruit Punch: Such a cute pink! I actually used this the most in the last month because it just brightens me up and I'm starting to look fatigued as tax season progresses. Thank God I listened to Vintage or Tacky and got this cause I love it.



- Too Faced, La Creme Lip Cream in Believe: I burned myself out on this one so I took a few weeks off. Fruit Punch took its place. I still have 2 months to go so I just might kill this one.




- Bath and Body Works Fragrance Mist in Tokyo Lotus & Apple Blossom: Death is imminent. My Fortune Cookie Soap Perfume Oil in Eat Me is just staring at me... waiting for me to use this up so I can wear it. I want this gone. I spray the hell out of it every morning and use it liberally.

I am actually seeing a dent in my lip products now so I feel even better about this challenge. Not to mention we still got 2 months left of the challenge so I think I will actually use at least one of my lip products up. I know the body spray will kick the bucket too.

Salon Perfect, Kaboom and Shocked.

Image
I've got two of the new Neon Collision polishes from Salon Perfect. Kaboom. 3 coats. Shocked. 3 coats. On a trip to my local Walmart I got super lucky and found an enormous cardboard display the size of a SmartCar full of these Salon Perfect polishes. Because it is so rare to find a full collection/display at my particular Walmart, I went ahead and bought all 6. For me that's really not that crazy because I love matte glitter. Plus, the price point is excellent; $3.99 ea. However, I did post a picture as I was standing in the checkout line stating I needed an intervention. Soon after that I put myself on a No-Buy. No polish purchases until July 12th. Then, I will reward myself... Hee Hee Hee. The formula on these is tricky. Let's start with Kaboom; an awesome mix of blue and lime green matte glitters. This resembles a popular indie we all know and love called 'Floam' . It's probably the Holy Grail of polish. I don't own it but I own some of the o...

China Glaze, Red Satin.

China Glaze, Red Satin. 3 coats.  Sunlight.  I've been a little obsessed with red polish lately. It all started when I was looking for a good red polish and I realized that a good chunk of my red collection was not cruelty free. So, I began my hunt to find cruelty free replacements. Luckily, we have a huge surplus of great reds in current collections. Red Satin is one of the reds I decided to add to my collection. It came from China Glaze's Holiday 2012 Collection with quite a few other great reds. This one is a bit different because it is a jelly finish. It gives a nice squishy appearance on the nail yet builds up to opacity nicely in 3 coats. I highly recommend letting each coat dry thoroughly before adding the next. The formula is a little on the thin side and you need to be careful in application to avoid pooling at the cuticle. Dry time did take significantly longer due to the need for 3 coats, but I kind of feel it was worth it. Red Satin looks quite similar to...

Review: Cover FX BB Gel, Mattifying Anti-Blemish Treatment.

Image
It's always been a battle for me to find a good foundation. Between adult acne, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, under eye circles, deep lines, and an Oily T-Zone... I'm screwed. Ha! Ha! Sorry, you just gotta laugh. I mean, if I ever find anyone with more going on I would have no choice but to cry for them. I also have the annoying issue of my skin sometimes deciding to change its mind during season changes. I can go 6 months with incredibly oily skin and then wake up one morning with my skin so tight and dry it feels like it's about to tear. I sometimes battle dry patches on my chin and by my lips. Which makes no since because I always wear lip balm, moisturizer, and my T-Zone is often so oily you can oil up a hinge with the oil on my face by 3pm.  I've been hearing raving reviews all over the blogosphere about Cover FX products so when I heard they were coming out with this new BB Gel I instantly knew I would be ordering it.  Now, this product is not cheap at $4...
