Winter 2010

So it seems a blizzard it upon us here on the East Coast!   I have a couple of inches of accumulation already.  Just need to hunker down & stay warm while I work from home.

If you are being hit by this blizzard as well please be safe & stay warm!!  It is not worth going out unless it is extremely necessary!!

Yves Saint Laurent [ YSL ] Orange Flamboyant

So last week I ordered a few YSL La Laque Long-Lasting Nail Lacquer.  First one up is Orange Flamboyant.  The color totally reminds me of a 60's shade of orange.  In the daylight it lives up to it's name...flamboyant!  It is a gorgeous color!  May look red in the pictured but believe me it is orange. 

However, it chips easily!  I put on three coats but it is still not fully opaque. You can see the nail line and it is a little streaky.  Next time I would use a base color like white or nude to make it more opaque.  I love this color so much I will deal with the chip maintenance. long-lasting this polish is not.  :(

The pictures below were taken in the sunlight.

Taken outdoors with the sun bouncing off all the snow we got yesterday...lol

MAC Lillyland Lipgelees

I am a HUGE Lilly Pulitzer and MAC lipgloss fan so when I went by the MAC store I was called by the Lillyland display.  I have never tried their lipgelee before but the colors all said buy me & I did!  I bought all four colors.  So far I have used the Resort Life and Lush and Bright.  I am in LOVE!!  These are all nice & shimmery and go on like a dream!  You have to see these in person to really see the shimmer - there was  no skimping at all!!  They are not sticky but your hair will get caught in it..lol On a side note, all the colors are limited editions!

These are fabulous colors for the spring & summer.  If you are a Lilly & MAC fan, like me,  then these are a definite must have!!  The colors are FABULOUS! 

[ I will do my best to take & post pictures when I get home tonite! ]

Camera question

I feel bad posting the pics I do because I see how clear & crisp everyone's are & then I see mine.  WAAaHHHh  =( .  The color is either off or blurry!  No matter what setting I use I am still not getting the quality of picture that I want.  Which means of course that I need a new camera.  I will have to do some shopping around & check out Consumers Guide to see what gets good ratings.

I am wondering...what do you use or recommend?
