Maybelline Color Tattoo Haul

I know I'm probably one of the last people here in the beauty blog world to get these, but I'm happy to say that I finally got my hands on some of the the Maybelline Color Tattoos. I picked up a total of nine out of the ten shades from Walmart and Ulta and I was totally blown away at how pigmented, vibrant and creamy these little pots of product were.
 

Maybelline describes these as a cream gel type product that has a 24 hour wear time, now I have only worn and tested Bad to the Bronze so far and the wear and lasting power is phenomenal but I can't attest to it lasting for 24 hours because I would never dream of wearing my makeup for that long. It blends well and can be worn by itself or as a base for your eyeshadow, which is how I prefer to use it. Here are the swatches of my collection.

And here's the closeup of each ......

Fierce & Tangy (matte)

Edgy Emerald (matte)

 

Pomegranate Punk (metallic)

Bold Gold (metallic)

Bad To The Bronze (metallic)

Painted Purple (matte)

Audacious Asphalt (metallic)

Tenacious Teal (metallic)

Tough As Taupe (matte)

So.. have you guys tried out the Color Tattoos yet? if so lemme know what you think about it!

Kingston Kitchen & OOTD

Last Sunday the hubby and I along with my baby nephew decided to check out Kingston Kitchen. Often times it's difficult to find really good day time events in Kingston, not sure if it's because everyone is afraid of the day time heat; but let's say I am happy we found out about Kingston Kitchen events. It's the perfect Sunday evening kickback...food, family and fun. The event was held at Hope Gardens and it's usually held every other month, you can check here  for more info on the event.

The atmosphere was very chill and everyone was just nibbling on the delicious food while chilling with their family and friends. They had a variety of vendors from simple fruit vendors to those offering gourmet bites. There is something for everyone; from the vegetarian to the meat lovers. The prices were also reasonable; averaging between $200-$500. The hubby and I had so much to eat and got really great deals! But can you blame us, how often do you get to sample all the deliciousness from Jamaica's talented chefs, all in the same place?

Here are some highlights from the event...

Lay of the Land. Beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Delicious pork sliders from EpicEats. $300 for 3...great deal!

Tee Tree Creperie's booth. Preparing our delicious minty lemonade with rum. So refreshing!

Tee Tree Creperie. Strawberry and Nutella Crepe. Yum Yum. $550

The most amazing Chicken Kebab from Great House Caterers. $250 for 2

The Cafe Blue booth for the coffee lovers, like myself. Yum Yum.

Lots of treats for the kids. Perfect family day out.

This is what I wore. Simple and casual for the event...

Will you be attending the next one?

PSA: Osmosis Week 2012

I was was flipping through the pages of Gleaner and I saw an ad for Osmosis Week so I took a closer look and realized that it was a week long event that began on June 30, 2012 and would culminate on July 7, 2012 with one of the premier parties of the summer season- Osmosis. Now, I'm not an avid partygoer, but what stood out to me amongst everything else were the discounts and sales that select restaurants, stores, etc. will be offering during the week long event, and I figured that it would be beneficial to some of you guys, here's a snapshot of whats in store:

Cuddy'z Jerk Chicken Pasta JMD$850 | Acropolis Chicken Roti Wrap JMD$518 | Say It With Cakes 10% off all orders | Reggae Jammin Chicken Frankfurters 5% off in all Hi Lo Stores

Grandeur 15% off | Yahdie Conscious 15% off at Style Saavy | Di Trends 15% off | MOD 36 15% off | Shimmer 10% off

I'm actually interested in stopping by Style Saavy to check out the new Yahdie Conscious summer collection dubbed 'Dear Summer'.



So will you guys be indulging in any of this week's discounts and sales?
Have a Happy Osmosis Week guys!! :)

...A Thrifting We Will Go!!

While I was away I had to take advantage of the great finds that the thrift store has to offer, but this time around I was in the market for some super cute vintage earrings and I think I hit the jackpot when I found these earrings at the Salvation Army for USD$3.00-4.00 a pop, you definitely can't beat that!

p.s. remember to properly clean all your jewelry with some alcohol prior to wearing them.

What do you think about the vintage earring trend guys? do you love it or hate it?
