Project Ten Pan (sort of)

Recently I read a post by Claire at Eyelining Obsessions about Project Ten Pan. It was the first I heard of it and love the idea of sing up some older products before purchasing new ones. Here's what I would like to use up.

Lancome Juicy Tube in some Unknown Color, Lypsyl Beeswax Lip Balm, Physician's Formula Powder Palette in Blushing Nude, Revlon Eye Glide in Denim, Lumene Mascara in Black, Beauty Rush Mascara in Indiglow, Sally Hansen Nail Protex Strengthener, Physician's Formula Highlighter in Fancy Pansy, Burt's Bees Radiance Day Creme, NYC Browser in Brunette, Good Skin Lightning Eye Cream and Moisture Lotion and Sephora Eye Pencil in 500.

Have you ever done this? Do you think you could? Wish me luck!

Eye of the Day: Obstacle 1

Today's eye of the day is named for Interpol's Obstacle 1 because a problem I have way too often is how to incorporate color into my makeup for work. I want to be colorful but not too over the top so I came up with this for today.

Nails of the Day: Red! (and a top coat conundrum)

My nails have two coats of N.Y.C.'s Expert Last Nail Polish in I <3 NY on all nails except the ring finger which has three coats of Deborah Lippmann's Ruby Red Slippers. Everything is covered with a coat of Seche Vite. Picture time!

Click to Enlarge for the glory that is Ruby Red Slippers.

Now on to my situation. I am nearing the bottle of my Seche Vite topcoat which I haven't been loving lately. It's gotten thick and not applying nicely and it shrinks back at the tips something awful. It's almost $8 a bottle and for that price I should be loving it to the last drop. What's your favorite topcoat? Leave suggestions for me in the comment box please! Thanks for reading and your help!

Red Sparkles and Black Crackle

My first order from beauty.com came in on Friday and I couldn't resist but to try my OPI Black Shatter over a red base so I could try the newest nail trend for myself.
