Tinkerbell Inspired
Today is my daughter's 2nd birthday!
She's in love with fairies,
so naturally we are having a fairy themed birthday party for her.
In honor of that, I decided to play around with a fun little Tinkerbell inspired look.
This looked much cooler in person than on here.
You could see the full effect of the dusted green on my cheeks
& around my eyes.
It just looked better, humph.
Here's a super crappy pic of the mediocre design I did on my cheeks:
This design was fairy-like to me?
Eh, they're not symmetrical at all on both cheeks
(which drives me crazy),
but it was just for fun.
I used:
Too Faced's Shadow Insurance
BFTE's 'Envy'- dusting around eyes/face
Victorian Disco 'Yoda's Yoga Mat' - browbone
UD's 'Damaged ', Sugarpill's 'Midori ', & BFTE's 'Green Apple '- crease
VD's 'The Fett'- outer crease
Lime Crime's 'Seahorse Discourse '- lid
UD's 'Stash'- inner corners
Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner
Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara
Face: UD 24/7 Eyeliner in 'Graffiti'
& Lime Crime's Uniliner in 'Lunar Sea'
I also at one point attempted to use my UD Heavy Metal gold glitter eyeliner
in the inner corners of my lids too, if you see some weird, dark area in the first picture.
That didn't translate well, either.
Sweet.
All in all,
I actually really liked this.
It was fun and whimsical.
What do you think?
How would you have done a Tinkerbell look?

PCC- 'Pixie Dusk'
Tired of the fairy polishes yet?
Don't worry, there's still 2 more :)
Here's 1 coat of 'Fairy Dusk' over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'Candy Coated'.
'Fairy Dusk' is a "pale lavender crelly with a gold sparkle and filled with gold and lavender glitter. There's hints of holo in here, too :)
This polish looked fantastic over 'Candy Coated'.
I like how 'Fairy Dusk' looks once on, especially the subtle gold shimmer.
However, I did NOT love the consistency of it :(
Not sure why it was so clumpy; none of the other PCC polishes i've tried have been that way.
Either way, it's a cute polish with a super cute name!

PCC- 'Pixie Dust'
Today's fairy polish is my favorite from the 5 that I bought from Pop Culture Cosmetics.
Here's 1 coat of 'Pixie Dust' over 2 coats of Zoya's 'Miley'.
'Pixie Dust' is a "milky crelly... filled with iridescent and pastel colored glitters in various sizes and shapes, including adorable little stars and hearts!
I really love the whimsical nature about this polish.
The iridescent glitter is my favorite.
It looks adorable on a neutral or bare nail,
but I really liked it best over the soft 'Miley' :)
What do you think?

PCC- 'Think Tink'
So here's another cute fairy polish for you today from my recent Pop Culture Cosmetics haul.
This is the most Disney fairy-esque polish in my eyes.
Here's 3 coats of 'Think Tink'!
'Think Tink' is a pastel lime green crelly filled with differently sized green & gold glitter (some holo), gold stars, and a gold shimmer. It's really lovely, and reminds me much of Tink's green outfit. This was my daughter's (who's 2) favorite one of the five :)
What do you think of this pretty little number?

NOPI's 'Tink's in the Pink'
I have the other NOPI polish from the Tink Collection for you today.
(see the first one here).
Here's 2 coats of 'Tink's in the Pink'.
'Tink's in the Pink' is a medium pink creme.
I my have a polish or two very similar to this color,
but I don't mind.
NOPI brushes are some of my favorite out there,
and application was super easy-
not to mention the name & theme was just too cute to pass up.
Just a forewarning,
you'll be seeing a lot of Fairy posts in the near future!
My 2 year old daughter is obsessed with them,
so i've really been on the lookout for anything Fairy (beauty or not).
Maybe it's just because i'm more aware of them,
but I sure feel like i've been seeing Fairy EVERYTHING lately!

NOPI- 'How Fairy Nice of You!'
So in my post yesterday,
you saw that I scooped up two new polishes from Nicole by OPI that are Tinkerbell themed.
My toddler daughter is obsessed with fairies,
(in fact, that's the theme of her 2nd birthday this year)
so I had to grab a couple of the polishes.
Here's 2 coats of one of them, 'How Fairy Nice of You!'
*shade*
*sunlight-ish*
'How Fairy Nice of You' is a lovely baby pink creme,
& part of NOPI's Summer 2013 Tink Collection.
It's been awhile since I used any polish by NOPI for some reason,
and I forgot how much I really like the width and length of their brushes.
They're short and wide, just like my nails :x
So it really makes application easy peasy.
What do you guys think of this polish & of NOPI's new collection?

Mini Drugstore Haul
So I finally made a much anticipated trip to my local Walgreens,
and picked up a few great goodies:
Wooo!
My goal was to find some of the new Wet N Wild trios,
and I decided on these two (they were out of the other one I would have gotten, humph).
First up is 'Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up!'
*swatched without primer*
Odd name for a trio, but the shadows look pretty good.
Next is 'I'm Seeing Triples!'
*swatched without primer*
These are a bit bolder, and also look promising.
Both trios are mattes.
Stay tuned for looks and a review of them in the near future!
Also,
my daughter is almost 2 and OBSESSED with anything fairies.
SO, when I say NOPI had a Tinkerbell collection,
I obviously had to buy at least a couple.
Two very tame, lovely pinks by the looks of it.
I'll have a full post and swatches of at least one of these bad boys tomorrow :)
What do you guys think?
What have your experiences been with the new Wet N Wild trios?
Let me know! :)
