Hey hey heyyyy lovelies!!!
Guess who was backstage doing makeup @ the NFP STUDIO Fashion Show in NYC todayyyyyyyyy!!? ME ME ME!!!
I was contacted to head into the city to do makeup for Gail Travis' clothing line, New Form Perspective. PLEASE CHECK OUT HER WEBSITE, it's critically geniune and pure, while showcasing comfort and individuality! Website: NFP STUDIO Twitter: NFPSTUDIO.
I had the amazing opportunity to work with a top designer who has worked with Vera Wang, Calvin Klein, and Shelly Steffee. Gail is absolutely pure and such a beautiful woman! Meeting her for the first time, I fell inlove!
I'm infatuated with her clothes... no really, I AM! If you read my post on what my Fall Look is, and view her website, you'll totally catch my drift! Go check and see what I mean!
Or... I'll just show you! (These photos are credited to the NFPSTUDIO.COM website)

Hi ladies!
Quick nail of the day for ya! Actually, nail of the week as my nails have been painted for a few days now and probably will last for another few more days!

I love Essie nail polishes! They are long lasting, most are super pigmented, and their color selection is great!
This color is a pinky nude color. It actually blends in with my skin really well! Haha I guess I have a pinky nude skin color because sometimes when I look down I can hardly tell I'm wearing any polish color! So far I've been wearing this color since Sunday morning around 11:30am. It has not chipped or faded shine. I just love it!!
What Essie nail polishes have you picked up recently? You know me, I am always up for a shopping trip!!
_______________________________________________________
I also wanted to ask you a question and state something!
1. I want to change my blogspot name. Have any of you actually changed your domain name? Like, I am MIXEDWITHLOVE.BLOGSPOT.COM - I want to change the MIXEDWITHLOVE part to something else, but I am scared I am going to lose my followers or my data that I have worked on so hard this year. There is an option to do so in the SETTINGS part of Blogger, but I am hesitant. If you have changed your blogspot name, tell me about your experience!
2. My GIVEAWAY ends soon, so get on that bandwagon for a chance to win some cool stuff!!
XO!

Hello my sweet lovelies!
I purchased my very first E.L.F Eyeshadow Quad and E.L.F eyeshadows! *gasp!* Can you believeeeee I didnt own any before this!? *it's okay, you can smack me!*
I have a Target about 3.9569475698456 minutes from my house and mind you, I DO venture there every couple days! I really dont get how someone can shop every single day of their lives - I do keep asking myself that question, but the guilty pleasure, shopaholics anonymous, problem spending side of me refuses to answer. I WILL have to file for bankruptcy one day, or maybe I'll be able to sell everything and get my money back? Or, maybe I am just talking like a moron and should enjoy all the crap I buy and shut up! I'llllll take Option 3 please, with a Tall Double Chocolate Chip from Starbucks, THANKS!
No, really... these eyeshadows ROCK! I own just about everything else from E.L.F, but I havent read many reviews on their eyeshadows nor have I even attempted to purchase and review them myself - so finally purchasing them, excited me!
The color range at Target is not excessive. I purchased every single one they had except for 3. I cant tell you the names of the ones I didnt purchase but I do remember one was a sparkly black, and the other two were highlight colors. I wasnt really intrigued by either due to the fact that I own about 7 "sparkly black" colors and about 15 highlight colors. I dont use them often and didnt want to buy anymore either.
Here are some swatches from individual eyeshadows I purchased!

They are SUPER pigmented! When I swatched these I dipped my finger once, and swiped and this is the color it gave me. They are smooth too, which is a plus for me. I'm not really keen on chalky eyeshadows. Honestly, some MAC Eyeshadows are chalky, and I cant stand them! :/
I LOVE these colors.. makes me super ready for fall! Each eyeshadow cost $1.00. I just love how inexpensive they are and really good quality! I havent used them yet, so I am not sure how they are going to withstand, or if there is excess fallout, but once I do, I'll definitely do a post on it!

Along with these eyeshadows, I purchased the E.L.F Eyeshadow Quad to store these individual eyeshadows. They only store 4 eyeshadows and since I am used to my MAC Palettes where I store about 20 eyeshadows in one case, I figured I'd try and do the same with this little palette. I made an attempt and it worked out pretty well!
Here's what I did!
I removed the inside eyeshadow placement holder thingy-ma-jig. (I used a Makeup Spatula - I received the infamous spatula when I attended the Makeup Academy, but it serves for other purposes as well, AS YOU CAN SEE, haha) You see it clearly can hold 4 eyeshadows perfectly, but I somehow felt that wasn't good enough. Go figure!
By removing the "thingy-ma-jig" I was able to fit one more eyeshadow! Hey, whatever works, right? I would have had one lose eyeshadow hanging around if I didnt remove the insert inside. It was so simple to remove and even went back in after I removed it. In future when I collect more, if I decide to keep 4 eyeshadows in each quad, I can just put it back in! 1 Brownie Point for consolidation skills!
Have any of you done this before? Or have other tips for me!?
XO!
