Updated Look

My hair has finally grown!!! I waited sooo long so that I didn't have to purchase hair extensions.
Well, this is a short post cus I've gotta head out to bed. Have a great nightie night!

















Fall Nail Lacquers

oH my goshness! Its already gonna be fall, it felt like I had waited all year long just for summer to come but it flew by sooo quick already. But even better yet, now I look around and fall fashion is hitting it in style. I can't wait to wear boots and wear those trendy jackets!


Already at work, everyone is shifting to fall colors such as burgandy reds, plummy purples, chocolate browns and dirty oranges!


However the "It" nail polish colors for fall are actually more of dark navy blues, forest greens, and metallic purples.


OPI's just got there new fall collection called OPI Swiss, and they've got some lovely shades too!


I haven't been able to sport any nail polish on my hands as of lately because it always chips off the next day since I have to wash my hands soo much through out the day. So the only time I get to wear polish is on my day off, then literally I have to take it off the next day :(


The only polish I tend to wear on my hands is very sheer colors that won't be too noticable once it starts peeling.


My shade I usually wear now is OPI Hearts and Tarts, a very pretty pearlescent pink that with one application you can just notice the shimmer there. I love it because it brightens up my nails and actually makes it even shinier than just clear polish itself.






HEARTS AND TARTS









These are some of the OPI Swiss Collection that I really like. Keep in mind these are not my swatches, I had just googled these pictures up :D

Nail Inspiration

Whoo, its been one heck of a hot summer for me here in NC! We've been swamped with Prom, Graduation, Weddings and other Special Events at the Spa. So I got inspired to do a nail art based on this Prom Dress. The dress itself is really exquisite and I just love the Print on here.



All of the products I used:


TADaaa!!!!!





Sorry I couldn't get any better quality of this. I did this late at night so I didn't have any good lighting besides flash on the cam. The bow is actually 3d, sculpted from acrylic and boy did it take me a good while trying to make it look right!

MIA-ing

Hey folks,

Yea long time no see on here. As of current I had lost my camera for a while so no pictures taken too recently, but my bf did find it eventually hiding away. And I don't have any internet service at home now so I'm actually at the library using their internet :D
Also work has been excruiciating! I've been working literally 80+ hrs every two weeks so when I get home I just knock out.

But I do promise to get back asap with some new updates! Thnks for being patient and I hope that you guys are having a wonderful summer! Adios

MOTD, and Haulage

I'm finally back! Srry been MIA....So it was such a beautiful day today, I decided to take some pictures of my makeup today. I get better quality with my cam when the sun is out rather than on a cloudy day or at night. My makeup as of late has been real rushed or rather just thrown randomly on my face b/c I have been rushing to get to work on time and it's been soo darn busy at work for the past month. And it's especially hard with just me and another girl on the Hair and Nail Department. Since it's been getting warmer, everyone has been coming in and out to get their manis/pedis and hair done.

So I'm glad I got to get some real rest today! I hope everyone has been having a great week so far now that it's warming up again. I can't wait til Summer finally gets here. Okay onto the Face!

No Falsies on :( I'm currently out of falsies so I need to go and get me some more!


I am wearing the same makeup from above but on my lips I have on the New WetnWild Mega Last Lip Color Lipstick in 902 C This is a really nice nude color!
(kinda like a peachy nude, forgot the color name since it was on the clear plastic wrap and I tore it off b4 realizing the name wasn't on the bottom sticker either)





Here I have on the new WetnWild Mega last lipstick in 907 C Mauve Outta Here. I love it!




HAULAGE!!!!!!
So these are some of the items I have bought within the past week.



Love these babies! I got these back home frm Rue21 for only 26.99
I don't own much closed toe shoes besides high heels and pumps.












These beauties were frm Rugged Warehouse for only 12.99
They have these studs on there that looks like diamonds, its super high probably 4 or 5 inches tall but they look soo darn sexy when worn.










These were frm Walgreens. They are having 50 % off Rimmel so I went ahead and got me a new mascara to try. I'm waiting til I run outa of my Revlon Voluminous b4 trying this one since it's supposed to give 50% length and curve to lashes. After 50% off, it was around $3 something.
The Rimmel polish is in Steel Gray, such a pretty color and it was only around $1 something after 50% off!
I saw that XinaRox did a review on the WetnWild Mega Last Lipstick in Matte so I got me 2. They were retailed at 2.99 and I seriously love the color!


NOTD



I did my nails yesterday with OPI Suede-Lincoln Park after Dark
It is a matte finish with tiny shimmers to it but I put on Seche Vite Topcoat to make it look shiny. I think it looks pretty awesome, it dries soo quick too!

















These are the 2 lipstick from WetnWild






Top: 907 C Muave Outta Here
Bottom: 902 C





Rimmel Nail Polish in Steel Gray
I just brushed it on quickly onto an artificial nail tip with no basecoat or topcoat.
Very soft and nudy like color!
Alright ladies, hope everyone has a great night! I'm off to bed since I've gotta get up early for a long day at work tomorrow! G-night



New Addition to the Lee Family!


Hey yall!

I've been soo busy with work that I haven't been able to do anything! I haven't been shopping much either so nothing new to talk about.
But I did get a break last week to go back home to see the Family. It was about a 4 1/2 hr drive, and I had to work frm 8 30 am to 5 pm so I didn't leave til 6 pm. Ugh, I was about to die frm sleepiness! It was all worth it though cus I got to spend some time with everyone and it just felt good to be back. The last time I had gone back home was during Thanksgiving.
Anyways, my Stepmom had her 7th child back in November. He just turned 4 months and he is such a cutie pie! He literally laughs and giggles all the time; however he is very picky with who holds him. His cheeks are soo chunky, you can't even see his neck and his mouth is soooo tiny lol.
My dad named him John.....awkward for an asian kid but hey almost all of our siblings have some weird names...
Golly he is soo cue I didn't want to come back to reality over here yet cus I was just having too much fun babysitting.
Always cramming his hands into his mouth!
Both hands this time!!!

And this little guy loves to hold his own bottle! He's also a pro at grabbing hair lol!

Greetings

Hey everyone,

Thus you've entered into my world!
