Sleek Makeup

I'm always experimenting with new lines and decided to try some items from the Sleek Makeup collection.  I've had the blushes for several months and so far I really like the pigmentation.  The middle color in the Lace ensemble is similar to Nars Orgasm.  The Blush by 3 colors that I picked up are Lace, Pumpkin and Pink Sprint.  They make for great travel sizes.  I also purchased two sleek lipsticks Coral Reef and Peaches and Cream as well as two Pouch Paint - Peachy Keen and Cloud 9.  The Pouch Paints are not meant to be worn alone but instead mixed in with different lip colors to either add some intensity or dilute a strong color.  The lipsticks are of good quality but nothing to rave about.

Essie Polish

I fell in love with the Essie polish Fiji and decided to pick up my own bottle.  I also spotted another fabulous color Mint Candy Apple.  I normally wear gel colors but now that I've started dabbling with acrylic nails I'm picking up more lacquer nail polishes.

Ipad 2

I finally got an Ipad and now that I have it I don't know what took me so long to get one!  I love how convenient it is to travel with and ease of use.  Its compact, light and I love the different apps.  I signed up for a magazine app called NextIssue and it is amazing how the magazines really come to life on the ipad.  I thought I would miss flipping the pages of a magazine, but the ipad makes it interactive with some of the issues like fitness magazine where some of the exercise demonstrations are in a video form.   This makes it a lot easier to follow the exercise because you can see exactly how the exercise is supposed to be performed.  Can't say enough new things about the Ipad - it is a have item.

I also got one of many ipad cases that I'm sure to collect.  This one is by Michael Kors which was on sale at DSW shoe warehouse.

Nail Color This Week

I'm still rocking my stiletto nails.  I always get compliments on them, but that's not the reason why I've kept them on this long - I like the change, but I have to admit with working in an office they are not typing friendly.  The nail color polish I have on this week is my new favorite by Essie the color Fiji.

Brush Holder

I recently purchased a bold blue brush holder but came across one that was a little more befitting of my bling theme.  I picked up what should be a bathroom accessory holder for items such as cotton, etc. and put my own twist on it and instead used them as my brush holders.  I still used the decorative fill to make the brushes stand up but I absolutely love the look.

Uggs - Comfort at its Best

For as long as I could remember I wanted to own a pair if Uggs, but thought the price was a little steep. I opted to get knock off versions over the years but at the end of the day nothing compares to the real thing.  I took the plunge and purchased the Sunburst II and I am in love.  It is literally like walking in very cushy slippers all day.  They are also very warm which is perfect for cooler LA nights.  I quickly followed up with a second purchase  - the Broomie III from a local Ugg carrier, I purchased the Sunburst from the Ugg website and delivery was extremely quick.  I read most of the reviews which said to purchase a size down, but I'm a true size 7 and the 6 was a little too snug.  I went up half a size in the Broomie because it is a little more narrow than the classic style Ugg.  I will definitely purchase more in the near future.
