Makeup Review: Younique, November Kudos

Evening!  It was wet out today!  My boys both had to play soccer in the rain, I remember how much fun that was but I also remember how freezing cold I'd be afterward. Good thing they both had dry clothes to change in to on the way home!  Anywho...tonight I have more fun makeup to share with you.  I've tried several products from Younique in the past and there are a few things I buy consistently - like mascara.  Well, after purchasing the November Kudos I have a new favorite product that will be repurchased several times over!  The monthly Kudos is a bundle of products that go together and you get them for a slight discount. I liked that I was able to select the color of each product in the Kudos so I wasn't stuck with 2 awesome, skin tone complimentary products and one that made no sense.  The November Kudos is gone now but you can get the December Kudos or any of the products here (minus the purple mascara), individually.  PS - you should check out the December Kudos, it has a magical silver metallic liquid eyeliner...me wants!  Well, let's check out the November Kudos!

6 Harts April Polish Pick Up Exclusive: Heart of the Milky Way

Good morning!  We're only 1 day away from the April Polish Pickup.  If you haven't heard yet it's Across the Universe themed so all things space and the final frontier are fair game.  I've shared so many beautiful polishes with you already and have 1 more up my sleeve.  6 Harts has a very unique shade for this theme, while others went dark she went for a soft neutral that is absolutely perfect for the Spring season.  You'll be able to pick up Heart of the Milky Way from 4/6 - 4/9 for $10 and there is no cap on this one.

Girly Bits Cosmetics: Limited Edition November 2016 Colour of the Month Duo, Every Day I'm Truffling & The Fuchsia Is Ours

Good morning again!  I dread Thursday.  It's my busiest day of the week.  I end up sitting in the car for at least 3 hours shuttling my kids around from practice to practice and don't get home until almost 8pm.  Thank goodness it's the last time I have to do the soccer rush for a while.  Fall sports season is finally winding down, yay!  But the Fall polish season is still in full swing.  This morning I have the Girly Bits November Colour Of The Month Duo to show you.  They're both gorgeous shades that play well together.  The November COTM Duo will be available in 2 rounds, the first from 11/6 - 11/10.  The early bird round saves you $2 making the duo $31.  The 2nd round starts on 11/24 and polish will be remaining stock...once it runs out it's gone for good.  Be sure to set your alarms because you don't want to miss out on either of these!

Afternoon all!  I'm working on some big posts right now when I get breaks in mom-life but I wanted to pop in for a quickie!  I pre-ordered from Chaos & Crocodiles a while back because I just couldn't resist this warm cashmere colored holo.  When it arrived I was definitely happy I bought it!  Perfect trans-seasonal shade, great as a nail art base, nice shade for work and perfect palette cleanser!  I just checked out the webpage and there is only a few merchandise items up for sale at the moment but you should make sure to follow C&C on Facebook and Instagram so you can be in the know when she restocks the shop with her lovely polishes!  Let's jump on in and check out this pretty little ditty!

Zoya Whispers, Transitional Collection 2016

Good morning dears!  I'm heading out the door to meet up with some of my running friends to take an easy trail that goes by Levi Stadium!  It'll probably be the only opportunity I'll get to see the Super Bowl 50 decorations up close because once we're taken over by fans it's going to be nuts!  So while I'm off running you can enjoy this post.  I've got the Zoya Whispers collection which is a transitional set, something to tide us over as we wait for Spring.  It's full of soft, creamy (almost crelly formula) polishes.  You can purchase the Whispers collection now, each polish is $9.  So let's go ahead and check these out!

Lacquer Lust Butt Bootie Naked

What I'm about to show you is the most gorgeous nude EVER.  I kid you not.  Lacquer Lust Butt Bootie naked is a mega win in my life…nude and holo?!  I went nuts-o over it until it was in my possession!  I'm so glad it's part of my stash because it's really stunning.  BBN is a classy color with a little extra oomph that makes it 100x cooler.  In the pictures below I used base coat and 3 coats of BBN.  No topcoat.  The nail line is still ever-so-slightly visible, but that never really bothers me (maybe because I really love jellies and those always have VNL).  Application was flawless, smooth with no dragging.  I also included a few pictures with flash to really show off the holo!  Enjoy!

Lacquer Lust just re-released Butt Bootie Naked on 4/7 and has said it will be part of her core line due to the huge demand for it.  I will only warn you that her store sells out in the blink of an eye so be prepared, be fast, and be ready for polish heartache (yes that was me over Eternal Bliss in the last restock).  You can follow info for restocks and new colors on Facebook, Instagram (lacquerlust) and @lacquuerlust on Twitter.   And now what you really want to know…where to buy Lacquer Lust nail polish creations: Big Cartel, Harlow & Co, and Shoppe Eclecticco!
