I've (Finally) Been Tagged!!!!!!!

But it was a tag for 'everyone who hasn't already done this' :(. Ah well. The tag is Kreative Blogger Award. The rules of this tag is for me to list seven things about me, and tag another seven bloggers to do the same.

So here are my seven random facts:
1) I ate my first mushroom ever two months ago, it was on a pizza and I was curious so I tried it. Not bad but I doubt I would ever order something specifically for the mushroom.
2) I'm a foodie. I love to cook, and to eat! Baking cookies is my specialty.
3) I used to wear a full face of makeup everyday, now, I don't wear any.
4) My allowence is $3.50 a week. Pretty sad, so I baby-sit to make up for my polish habit.
5) My parents don't care that I'm almost at 100 followers, they think polish is a waste of money and blogging is a waste of time.
6) I named me 7 year old sister 'Zoe' because my my best friend (when I was younger) had a sister named Zoe and she was very well behaved, I wanted the same deal (it was a no-go).
7) This is my first tag ever.

Now, how do I know if someone tagged me? Like if I forget to read their blog or something (because I'm just that oblivious)
Now the seven bloggers, sorry if I get someone who has already been tagged :)

Never Too Much Glitter

The final three? Anyone else who hasn't been tagged!!!!

Orly Pixie Dust




Looks terrible on me, just awful. This is a stunning mid-to-light toned, blue based, grey with either glass flecks or silver shimmer. I'd have to say that this works best on you pale gals, I'm olive skinned and it just didn't look right ( I looked like a corpse ). I try to be nice when I'm reviewing, generally I don't meet a polish I don't like but this, this can't be pulled off with my skintone.

Go Yankees!



Quicky post! This is Essie Mesmerize, Stripe Rite White, and some random red. Coat of Essie MAY on top!

Purple Comparison! Save Yourself $10!



These are (in order) Illamasqua Baptiste, CG Let's Groove, CG Cowgirl Up, CG Coconut Kiss. Baptiste costs $14, CG Let's Groove costs $4 at your local Sally's. They look almost identical to my eye! The shimmer in Baptiste is a bit more complex and red-based but honestly, you don't need both. Cowgirl Up was waaaaaay reder than the others and Coconut Kiss was waaaaaaay lighter.

To Avoid Sounding Whiney....

Check last post. BUT I do have some polish for you today (+ a lot of backlogged pics). Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow may be the most stunning dark in my collection. Noticibly green (even in normal light) it is a dark green from the OPI Spain collection. I love it so much! Effects are at bottom of page (in order from pinkie) Zoya Suvi (too sheer on it's own), CG Fairy Dust, Essie MAY, Normal





About MUA

I know a lot of people adore it, they love the swapping and the boards. Honestly, though, I've found that there are a lot of bullies on there. I'm a member of Megs Makeup Mafia (comment if you'd like to join that way I can invite you and we can both get points!). I've been a member there FOREVER, I was one of the first teens on for sure. The women there are so nice and caring. On MUA I feel like I am belittled for being new and punished for disliking some colors. You may like it, more power to you, but I don't. There was absolutely no point in this rant. Sorry.

CG Millennium

A stunning silver, no brush strokes, mirror shine, and perfect for Konad! I'm in love :). Shown with different effects, in order:
Matte (Essie MAY)
Black Magic (Wet n' Wild Fantasy Makers)
Fairy Dust (China Glaze)

Having Doubts

I ordered another haul (should be here tomorrow) but it bears Illamasqua Baptiste. Problem: is Baptiste too close to my more recent purple purchases?
My dark purple collection of new polishes right now is->
CG Let's Groove
CG Cowgirl Up
CG Coconut Kiss
OPI Merry Midnight (not worried about this one!)
So. Should I return Baptiste when it comes? Try it out and compare while deciding? Keep it? You all tell me!
