I have seen Rimmel’s Steel Grey pop up in other beauty addicts favorites, so when I got a $2 coupon for Rimmel at CVS, I thought I’d pick it up to give it a try. The color is right up my alley, a purple toned grey with a cream finish. It’s perfect for Fall!

I wore the color for 2 days and I experienced a little chipping, but nothing that made me feel the formula was of poor quality. I can’t say I think it would have lasted 10 days, but I think it has decent lasting time.

I would recommend the color for sure. B+

While perusing CVS, needing to use my $5 CVS bucks before it expired, I saw that Milani was having a BOGO 50% off sale plus I had a $2 off coupon. So thought it was the perfect time to pick up some of their new nail polishes. There was a display for the One Coat Glitter line and the purple and gold shades were calling my LSU-loving heart!!

After sitting in the bag for a week or so, I finally pulled them out to swatch and HOLY MOLY the ‘Gold Glitz’ made my heart skip a beat! Super Fab!

I wore the color for a few days and it got so many compliments. Unlike some glitter polishes, the glitter is very fine and has a smooth finish.

Though it really only needs one coat like the bottle says, I always go for 2 just to make sure it’s even. The multi-color glitter mixed in really give it a nice fun disco like effect. Love love love this color!

Retail price: $5

Fun new fashions for summer! Enjoy!

Hopefully these will show up in a OOTD

The Mel & Niki Show headed I-10 West for a girls road trip to Houston this past weekend! While there I discovered there was a CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) at the Houston Premium Outlets in Cypress, only 10 minutes from where we were staying! Why am I just now figuring this out!?!

I also picked up some pieces from Aldo, Charlotte Rousse and Forever 21.

Wet ‘n Wild Color Icon palettes have been all the rage amongst beauty lovers, lots of pigmentation and a low price! Can’t beat that. While most haven’t picked up Wet ‘n Wild since we were walking the halls of high school, the new Color Icon line has been quite impressive.

For the holidays, WnW has design four new limited edition palettes. The original palettes have 3 matte and 3 shimmer colors, however these are all shimmery and satin shades. Also, these palettes have some colors that are more sheer. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but something to note.

The Night Elf palette was featured in this look.

I’m going to do a look with each palette, which offer great colors for the price.
