shine, what shine?

Ladies prepare to put you shiny little top coats on the back burner because OPI is launching a matte line. Yes matte as in no shine, no glitter, no frosting. Just pure, flat one dimensional color! I love the idea and can't wait to get my hands on this collection. Sadly, I have to wait until the launch even more colors the the 6 (Russian Navy, Alpine Snow, La Paz-itively Hot, Lincoln Park After Dark, You Don't Know Jacques and Gargantuan Green Grape) they're starting out with since I have about 4 of then already.

I am a bit curious about the consistency of it. I one read that all the mica (glitter) in nail polish tends to make them chip faster, so would this line chip less? Yet, the official OPI website states, "Matte by OPI does not wear as long as original OPI Nail Lacquer. Do not use base coat, top coat, drying products or hand lotion when wear Matte." Ummm, so I'm supposed to be ashy for the duration of my manicure?

What do you guys think?

lux lashes

i am an eyelash baldy =(. i have tried a ton of mascaras .. all with minimal if any results. everything from revlon to dior show. that is until a recent trip to CHANEL changed everything. it started as a normal uneventful shopping trip until my favorite sales associate Bee (hey Bee!) noticed my smokey eye was a bit lack luster. he used the inimitable mascara in nior black. it was the first time i experienced a noticeable difference. i love it & i've worked it into my daily routine.

"Now, in a single stroke, CHANEL sets a new standard in mascara with a formula that does it all. A sophisticated formula and unique brush design combine to lengthen, plump and curl, delivering lush, long-wearing colour so precisely that each lash, even the finest, is perfectly defined and separated.

at last...

Beth Ditto for Evans has come along! Hmm, that was corny. Any who, the highly anticipated line launched yesterday (July 9). I have to say that I am highly impressed. The prints, colors and cuts all left me wide-eyed and ready to put my Mastercard to work. Hopefully I get to order before everything is completely gone, especially that cool cropped biker jacket that I've had my eye on since the preview.

Here are a few of MY favorites. The entire line can be found HERE!

i`m READY.

Many know that I, Brittney, am I HUGE fan of Trey Songz. I'm practically a Stan *shame*. I've been a fan since he debuted in 2005 but never have I been so amazed by his music. I have my favorites of Treys' but the Anticipation mixtape is nothing short of spectacular. My remote is left to rest on my duvet when I play this album because skipping songs isn't necessary. Ballads like It Would Be You and On Top leave single women like myself longing for a relationship while steamy tracks like Scratchin Me Up leave you all the more curious about Mr. Songz 'talents'. On the other side you have revealing songs such as, Infidelity and Yo Side Of The Bed show a vulnerable side of Trey that I myself didn't expect. Had it been up to me each and every single one of these songs would have made the album cut.

The creation of ANTICIPATION began after I presented READY to my label the first time. I just started recording on my days off and the music felt great and decided that I'd rather share the music than let it sit and be idle. This is music without politics, without creative boundaries.
