Starry Eyed +Important Giveaway Update

Starry Eyed & Thinking Pink

WnW I Got Good Jeans Trio
The blue in this trio is not that bright. =/ I shouldn't have used flash, I apologize. But the way it looks in the picture on my eye is more true to color. I used the browbone color on the lid & the blue in the crease & mixed with the black color from the WnW Spoiled Brat trio (not shown) in the outer crease & the outer lower lash line.

WnW Mega Last Matte Lipstick in Think Pink (901B)
This is my very first Mega Last lipstick from WnW. I had no idea they were all matte. I LOVE matte lipsticks. I would always see them but never paid them any attention. I went straight to the luster-ish 99cent lipsticks lol. But I saw this one & decided to try it out & I'm so happy I did. I loveee this lipstick. It's a matte obviously, but it's incredibly creamy! I'm looking forward to picking up more of these. c:


NOTD: Roses For Audrey
 
Sinful Colors Beautiful Girl • China Glaze For Audrey • Funky Fingers Screamin' Fuchsia • Sinful Colors Nail Art in Simple But Fun
 I wish I could but I can't take credit for this design lol. I've seen it on weheartit & other blogs but more recently I saw it on LaBarbie's blog. So I decided to give it a try. It's A LOT easier than I thought it would be. I love it.

Quite Cute Collection: Swatches+Dupes [Updated 9/25/12]

Awww. I know I say this a lot but the kid really deserves it. My man is sooo good to me. ♥ Remember how the only lipstick I could get from this collection was Saint Germain, well not only did he go online to get me Candy Yum Yum but he also got me the purple lipstick & the minty nail polish. :3 Gawsshh I felt so spoiled. Haa. I love my cupcake. c:

Lipsticks: Play Time • Candy Yum Yum • Saint Germain. Nail Polish: Mischievous Mint.

China Glaze For Audrey • MAC Mischievous Mint • Revlon Minted
Obviously Mischievous Mint isn't a super unique color either. Haha. It looks really similar to some of the Essie nail polishes I've seen also. But from the polishes I had, I found it most close to Revlon's Minted. I'd say Mischievous has a tad bit more of a blue tint to it than green. But they're still pretty close in color. At first, I was hellbent that it was going to be exactly or more close to For Audrey but nooooo. Gorgeous color, nonetheless.


Candy Yum Yum = Mabelline Fuchsia Fever?
Mabelline Fuchsia Fever • MAC Candy Yum Yum • Milani Rose Hip • WnW Nouveau Pink
[click images to enlarge]
I think the lipstick closest to Candy Yum Yum is Mabelline's Fuchsia Fever. The only obvious difference is that Candy Yum Yum is a neon pink & matte while Fuchsia Fever is more of a satin. They're damn near identical though! Rose Hip & Nouveau Pink, I think would definitely work also if you're going for that bright pink lip. Although it's a different finish too & they're more on the red-pink side.



Updated Comparisons/Swatches Below 9/25/12

Candy Yum Yum Comparisons
Mabelline Fuchsia Fever • NYX Shocking Pink • Ka'oir Neon Rockstarr • MAC Candy Yum Yum • MAC Dear Diary • MAC Pink Pigeon • Milani Rose Hip
Now let's get to the good part! Out of these first three lipsticks, the closest one to CYY is Mabelline Fuchsia Fever. The difference being that "CYY" is a neon pink matte.. while "FF" is a bright pink but isn't neon & has more of a wet finish. "Shocking Pink" is way too dark & "Neon Rockstarr" is more of a frost & is too light.

From the next three lipsticks, the best match is "Dear Diary" although it's just a bit darker. "Pink Pigeon" & "Rose Hip" are way more on the reddish pink side & aren't even close to "CYY".


The Results
Candy Yum Yum on the top lip & the comparisons on the bottom lip.
It came down to these two. "Dear Diary" is the clear winner. You can tell more, in person. It is only slightly darker than CYY. "Fuchsia Fever" comes close but lacks the neon & the matte finish. Neither is exact but they're the closest I could find from my collection.


Moxie Comparisons & Results
Moxie on the top lip & Spellbound on the bottom lip. (I should've compared Smokin Hot Pink too lol sorry)
Moxie was way easier lol. I don't have a ton of colors like this but it wasn't hard to find look alikes in my collection. The first one I found is "Smokin Hot Pink" by Wet n Wild which has nothing pink about it, either. -.- In person, it shares the same matte finish as Moxie but in color, it's darker & has more of a brown tint to it than Moxie but is still very very very similar. The other color I found is "Spellbound". It is practically the same color. It's so much like Moxie.. the most notable difference is that "Spellbound" has that creamy finish but the color is almost exact.


Thanks so much for reading!!!

Easter Sunday: Blue had me at hello. ☼

Happy Easter! c:  I spent the better half of the afternoon shivering in bed. =/ Total bummer. I got a fever today out of nowhere. I'm not even sick or feeling sick.. but I felt pretty turrrrrble. I think someone made me "ojo" -_- or the evil eye. Lol jk I'm not superstitious. Anywhoo, I hope y'all had a great Easter with your families & loved ones & without further ado I wanted to share today's makeup with you before, that is.. I rubbed it all over my pillow & crashed out. Yikesss.


FOTD: Blue Sunday.
Wet & Wild Blue Had Me At Hello Palette
I got this palette a couple weeks ago & I'm going to be honest with you, son. I'm not super fond of it. Haa. I really like the turquoise-y color but I'm not a huge fan of texture. I found them kind of hard to blend. This is probably more my fault than it is the palette's though lol. All the colors in the palette are shimmery except for the matte black shadow on the left. I have a hard time with this palette but I still don't regret buying it! c:

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout • NYX gloss in Pinky Natural
This is my favorite lip in the world right now! I love Pink Pout so much I bought a backup of it recently.. juuuuust in case.

NOTD: For Audrey
China Glaze For Audrey
Finallyyyy got this polish! I had lost interest in it for awhile, then when I saw FrugalSpender's post on minty polishes, she featured this polish & I fell inlove with it all over again. Lol. I had tried to get it, maybe last month but they were all out of it at Sally's. I'd make a weekly trip to the store but had no luck til last week! They finally restocked lol & they were already down to 2 bottles. Finally though! I must say, it was so worth it. I heart it.

Thanks for veiwing. ^_^
