Monday Purples

So, we've established that beauty blogging is hella fun - but sometimes it's really fun. Like when you find a shade of lavender and lilac lipstick and gloss that somehow manages to suit you perfectly.

I told my boyfriend I wish my lips were that shade originally, and he said, "but aren't they?"

That said, I put my hour of watching AMC's The Walking Dead to good use - finally utilizing the Halloween Sally Hansen nail strips I was harping about some time ago. There's definitely a learning curve to these things, but I managed to finish both hands using only one packet (the box comes with two) so a lucky friend of mine will be getting some green fingers tomorrow. 

Is it okay if I want to end this post here? I just really liked the lip color. And my hair. My hair was being so nice the whole time during the shoot. I guess we'll do this. Do you like the lavender/lilac lips? Wanna guess the shade?

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips: Halloween

I'm not a Halloween girl. I didn't grow up partaking in the festivities (imagine. My mother leaving me to knock on random strangers' doors for sweets. Not where I come from.) and by the time I came here, I felt like I was stealing candy better left for the ghost children. Also, pumpkin spice. What?

While I'm not going to be dressing up for Halloween. I think people need to know about these limited edition Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. Aren't they just the best idea ever?

L-R: Ghoulie Girl, Hot Wired

I'm saving them for closer to Halloween, but for now you can see how one of them looks on Karla's fingers. There are five strips you can choose from. Featured here are Ghoulie Girl and Hot Wired, the three others are Wish Nets (red with black fish net pattern), Numbskull (skull and crossbones pattern), and Spun for you (cobwebs of course).

I purchased mine for $9.99 from ulta.com.
