Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro: MIDNIGHT BLUE

So, V-day is usually all about hues of pinks, reds, and purples, but why not MIDNIGHT BLUE?! I actually just bought this color today. It had such a deep dark blue shade with little sparkles only noticeable in the sunlight. I just fell in love! I added Konad Hearts and Silver - glittery dots to finish off the look.

I started off with Nail Tek Maintenance plus just to condition my nails and make sure they don't die on me.

Then, a clear coating of Seche Clear Base coat.

I was surprise to find the Rimmel Nail polish brush on the rather large side. It made the application a little difficult, since I wasn't accustomed to such a large brush!

And that's with only ONE coat! AMAZING!!

I was going to use both the hearts stamps in the middle, but I changed my mind and ended up only using the inner right one.

Here's a close up of my pointer finger. I used a toothpick to put the silver dots on the tips of my nails. The shade is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Celeb City.

CCO and Target Haul

 

Oh how my heart flutters when I see these clearance stickers on make up at my local targets! However, you have to rummage through a bunch of sticky open make up to find these treasures. I don't understand why people have to open up packages and stick their grimy fingers in the product then just leave it there. It annoys me the most when it's something I actually want to buy, but it's ruined because of these people!!! Anyways, I actually found some great items that weren't open and abused, thank goodness.

 I found these two Sonia Kashuk single eye shadows for $2.98! (retail:$5.99) The brown color is Chocolate - 48 and the other is whisper - 21.

 Then, I found a Milani lip liner in Most Natural for $1.98 and a wet and wild brow pencil for $0.67!

 

I am fortunate enough to live 15 min away from The Premium Outlet Mall, and of course, I frequent the CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) Which basically has MAC, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, etc. for a discounted price! I picked up a MAC paint pot and a Lip liner the other day!

 Here's the paint pot in Bare Study, and Life's a Breeze Lip Pencil from the MAC to the beach collection last year.
