This is going to be a new series that will come out on Mondays (I have like 5 'series' that come out on Mondays, so it'll kinda be a tossup on what Monday it will come out on!) This is very similar to review videos, but I'm going to try and be a little more in-depth than reviews tend to be. The first one is going to be on some nail polishes I have had for quite some time. and posted blog posts about, but never a video review: Eyeko Polishes!
Here are some Swatches:

So in case you didn't know, I kinda love Eyeko Polishes. Not just because the packaging on each polish is totally unique and ADORABLE, but because the formula is FANTASTIC and with most, it's opaque in one coat. They've just released two new shades: Rain Polish (For City Nails) and Saucy Polish (For Naughty Nails).
And just because, here are some pictures of all of the Eyeko polishes I have, which I believe are all of them, if not definitely most. There are swatches for these babies here ...

Strip Tease
Pillow Talk
I haven't really tried any of these out yet, but I'll definitely keep you posted! I'm most excited about the Lip Insurance. I'm OBSESSED with Shadow Insurance so I hope it measures up!
If you've tried any of these, what are your thoughts?

Sorry this took a little longer than expected! I just got a new camera (Nikon d5000) and was waiting until I got my macro lens in the mail so I could be super fancy :)
I'm also going to add that a good amount of the products I'm showing you were given in the gift bag I got from the guru summit. I only bought a handful of things but I wanted to show you guys pictures of just about everything :)
Not really from IMATS, but so pretty I had to include!! :...

Epic OCC Lip Tar Swatch Post
I feel like this entire webpage is a swatchfest lately, lol. But that's okay, it makes me feel accomplished! Today's post will consist of swatches of all the Lip Tars I have. I think I'm just missing one (Uber) but the rest should be swatched below. Three things I have to mention to those who have never used these:
They are meant to be mixed to create new colors (although you don't HAVE to do that) So when you see one that's white or bright blue (which I WISH was socially acceptable to wear...
Milani 3D Holographic Swatches
So I'm gonna hide while saying this, but there isn't going to be a Fierce Friday this week :X I know there wasn't Wearable Wednesday either, and it's because this is finals week and since I took last weekend to go visit friends I've been a little behind. Sorry! Everything will go back to normal next week, promise :)
I guess one upside to this is that since I am horrible at focusing on things for too long (like finals papers, for example) I take lotsa breaks so I don't want to shoot myself, an...
Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow/Liner Swatches
Ooooh, I really enjoy these! These are the new liners from Tarte. They're very much like any of the gel liner's you know and love, except these are waterproof. And when they say waterproof, they mean waterproof. I had these on my hand for an entire day and once they set, they're pretty much there until you take them off with makeup remover. Just to test it out, I put a few drops of water on top of the swatches and rubbed it into my skin, and not lightly at all, just about scrubbing! They didn't ...

I just got these in the mail yesterday and had to show you guys ASAP! I love Eyeko polishes because they come in super cute bottles with adorable labels and have really cute names. They're also super opaque right off the bat, love love!!
In Direct Sunlight
I love Vampira Polish, but it really needs a top coat in order to really shine (it doesn't have one in the first picture but does in the second) This is all with two coats.

OCC Memento Lip Tar Swatch
This is the newest color from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, and it's sooo pretty!! I really love the way this one looks on, it's not too much but still gorgeous. Also, proceeds from this through June 1st go towards CancerCare.
If you've never used OCC lip tars, they're really different than most other lip products. You use the teeeeniest amount of product (and I mean TEENY!) and it will cover your entire lips. It's super, super opaque, a little goes a long way, and they're really, really ...
