First, the lip combination. It's nothing flashy, but I really like the shade this ended up being, and the texture was awesome:
I used NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Bettina, then put a swipe of Fresh's Sugar Plum Lip Treatment on top, and then a dab of an Avon lipgloss in Nude on top.
P.S., I may have found my Holy Grail mascara duo; Prestige My Biggest Lashes with a little bit of Stila's Major Lash on the outer corner. Check it out!
I'm going to have to try this out after having curled my lashes to see what that does!
Next up is my new necklace; I got it on super-clearance at Macy's, it's a Rachel Roy design. It spoke to me when I saw it in the store, but I've been wearing it with EVERYTHING lately, and it goes with a surprising number of things! I have been in a bit of a jewelry-rut, so this is helping me crawl back out again.
Now I have a bit of a comparison for you. I have Cover Girl's lipstick in Romance, and I love it to death. If you've been following the blog for awhile, you have probably seen it in a few Face of the Day posts. I know a few of you own it as well; it's a popular shade from the collection. I had this nagging feeling that it was really similar to NARS' Bettina, so I pulled out a few of those nude-pink shades to compare it with.
Top to Bottom in all of the photographs are NYX Round Lipstick in Thalia, Cover Girl Lip Perfection in Romance, NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Sex Machine, and finally NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Bettina:

Finally, I caught all three of the cats in a pile on the couch the other day. It was too cute to not take a photo of!

| Sooooo cute! |
Yes, I am a dork for cats. I love when they snuggle!
So there you go, a lot of somewhat random things that I felt like sharing with you guys, all cobbled together into one giant mish-mash of a post. Hope you have all enjoyed your weekends!
Your new necklace is adorable- it's really unique! I can see how it would work with a variety of things. And the kitties are too cute. ;) I totally share your obsession with cats! Who could resist that pile of fur!

Thank you! They are definitely all verrry fuzzy, wish I could shrink down to cat size and just snuggle up with them. Is that a weird desire? Oh well!
DeleteI love this necklace, so pretty and unique! "Sex Machine"?! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Haha, yes... Sex Machine! I mean, it makes sense if you consider this is the same brand that brought us blushes called Deep Throat, Orgasm, and G Spot!
DeleteI really like your necklace,all the lipsticks are so pretty each color is pretty and its something I would like to wear on lips:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, they are all gorgeous... similar, but I love this type of color, so I think it is ok that I have a few that are rather alike.
DeleteOooh, your lips did turn out very nice! I am going to have to try using some gloss over my NARS lip pencils. I really like that triangle necklace, I love geometric shapes in jewelry! Also, what could be better than a pile of cats? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I think that one of the best things about the NARS lip pencils is that they're such good bases for glosses and other lip products; they stay put! And nope, nothing better than a pile of cats!
DeleteI absolutely LOVE that necklace! Go triangles! And that cat pile is adorable! GO kitties!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks!
DeleteI LOVE that necklace! I just found your blog and I'm really enjoying going through your posts :) Do you know if there's a name for it? I'd love to look it up online if they still sell it. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Meg, I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying my posts! I don't know if the design has a name (if it does, I don't know it), but I do know that it is from the Rachel Roy line, which I believe is available exclusively at Macy's. When I bought it, it was on clearance, so I'm not sure if they'll still have it or not, but that might be a place to start! Good luck :)
