MOTW - Devilish Mermaid

Hello!

I hope you all had a good weekend - I worked Saturday but had Sunday off so I had time to start the week of with a new manicure!

This week I used Devilish from Victoria's Secret (which I won recently in a giveaway hosted by Helen @ beauty delights) and Funky Fingers Polish in Mermaid Lagoon which I got in my monthly #nailmail trade with Nikki from Heaven Has Cupcakes. 

Devilish is a bit dark for a "spring" color but what can I say, I wear what I want.  The VS formula goes on pretty smoothly and is opaque in 2 coats.

Mermaid Lagoon is a really easy glitter to work with and flows smoothly!  Some of the hexes are holographic so this polish will be a great accent for pinks, purples and blues. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Review - Victoria's Secret Hypergloss Eye Shimmer

Hello!

Today I wanted to show an interesting product I recently got from Victoria's Secret Beauty.

 
It's the Hypergloss Eye Shimmer.  It can be used alone to give your eyelids a bit of sheer color and a lot of sparkle.  Or over an eyeshadow to give it a  bit of sparkle. 

 

I purchased 2 colors the gunmetal is Star Light and the one in the gold tube is Golden Lights.  I would say the are a charcoal grey and a champagne color repectively.

Here are the colors swatched (I did a dot of color and then a dot smoothed out) in "indoor" light on the left and daylight on the right - the daylight picture is more acurate and yes my arm really is that pale.

I'm on the fence with these, at the store I was like "so pretty, so SpArKly" and now I'm like "hmmm"  but I think it's good to incorpate a little extra sparkle into your look now and then, so these will get used and the colors are pretty neutral. 

How would you use the Hypergloss Shimmers?
