Baroque Sunglasses

I had my eye out for the Prada Baroque Sunglasses for a while now but I just can't dish out 300$ for a pair of sunglasses. I don't wear sunglasses often so I decided to put a "designer inspired" pair for the time being.
The swirls are so unique.

The Prada Sunglasses look like: 

You can tell that this is real because you can see the white Prada logo on the side.
(Well you can tell there's some white letters anyway)

Mine look extremely similar. It just doesn't have the white logo.



What I don't like about the sunglasses is that it leaves a mark on my cheeks if I wear them too long.
I got them off Amazon and seller stated that there is UV 400 in the description but I'm not too sure.
It does a great job of keeping the sun out though. I wear them everywhere now and have gotten plenty of compliments~

It's super inexpensive and Amazon has the cheapest pair:

It was 9.99$ when I got them and there were only three colors. Tortoise, Black, and White.
They have a great selection of colors now but get them fast since it seems like they are raising the price due to the popularity of them. 

I'm getting the white pair sooner or later. Maybe during summer. 

The seller is TripleOptics and if you don't have an Amazon account, check them out at eBay.
I believe they have the same account name. eBay has a more user friendly interface. 
I have my eye on a wafer sunglasses ;)

Their shipping is super fast. I received it under a week after I placed my order. It comes in a box that is similar to the Sigma box in a previous post. 

They included a sunglasses bag to protect my sunglasses from dirt and dust. Sadly, I misplaced mine. The sunglasses has held up well so far despite me keeping it in my bag without any protection.

Sigma Online Order

I watched a YouTube video on makeup for uneven lids because sometimes after I wake up, my eyes are swollen. Usually an eyelid tape does fine but you never know :)

A Sigma brush caught my eye and it's the E30 pencil brush or previously...SS219
After looking at the reviews on makeup alley, this brush is supposed to be a dupe of the MAC 219.



Sigma is having a little sale for the month of April with the code: APRIL2012
And if you go over 30$, you will get a free gift!

My order came yesterday. I bought the E35 Tapered Crease Blending brush because I've had my eye out for one for a while now.


I chose First Class Mail. It came in three days despite it being on the other side of the US!


When I opened it.


Such a big container for only two brushes!


The pamphlets you see in the second pictures.
They give me a bit of information about the brushes I purchased.


The pencil E30 brush.


The E30 blending brush.


The brushes themselves!
The handles are great quality and sturdy. 


I was really surprised when I got them. People everywhere say Sigma sells great quality brushes but I wasn't sure until I had them in my hands. The handle is nice and glossy and it feels amazing. It's super sturdy unlike the brushes I had before. Both brushes are a bit rough when I use them since they poke at my eyes. It's not that bad so I'm still satisfied with them.

The crease brush works pretty well but it's shed a few times already and I've only used it two times. 

I love the pencil brush but it's a bit too soft for me. It does get the job done though. This has shed 1-2 times already :(

China Glaze Dress Me Up Hunger Games Collection: District 8 Textiles


So, recently I had my nails like..




Then, I started to hate it but the silver but black tip. I had around 7$ eBay Bucks so I started shopping around.
I went on a few websites and saw the gorgeous Hunger Games Collection.
I love all the colors but buying all of them would be ridiculous since I don't paint my nails often.
After looking on eBay for a while, I decided to get the rosy color, Dress Me Up.

It looks darker than the swatches online after you paint it on your fingers. 
When it dries, it goes closer to the dusty pink. I hated it at first and wanted to take it off because it was almost this mauve color until I decided to stick some rhinestones on it. 
I love the look because it gives it a bit of sparkle.
It's pretty nude color.

 



You should be able to get this in any stores that sell nail polish. 
Check out ULTA's website, Sally Beauty, eBay, Amazon, etc.
Anywhere, really :)

I hear ULTA has a kit with the mini-version of 4 colors.
