Happy
St Pattys Day Lovelies!!!!!
I'm sorry it has been so long since I posted. Time just ran away from me...screaming. Also been battling migraines again. I'll try to keep the blog up better. I've baked several goodies I hope to post soon; including my first attempt at doughnuts!
This post will be about one of my secret additions not many know about...MAKEUP! I love all the pretty colors, the ability to change your look based on your mood, and mostly the GLITTER. How can you not smile when wearing glitter? Unless you lack a heart but I'm going to assume you have one and therefore love glitter. Ok? OK! Now that we have that settled I'm going to share one of my favorite lines...
PRETTY ADDICTIONS.
They have the most amazing eyeshadows and blushes (the have other products that I haven't tried....yet). Now I get what you are saying there are tons of beautiful cosmetic lines out there. Well yes there are but personally a business isn't JUST their products. It is also about their passion for the products and their customer service. I don't care HOW much I love a product if their customer service sucks I'll never go back/use them again. The girl who runs this business (out of her house! So cool..) is the poster girl for customer service. She is 100% reachable to her customers and an absolute joy to communicate with!
In the short month I've known about Pretty Addictions (thank to my favorite non-Taylor makeup artist
Courtney who we will talk about later!) I've bought 15 eye shadows and a blush. Every transaction has been super easy and I always get my package in like two days. Seriously TWO DAYS. Shes like Super Woman for make up. Now with all of this talk of super amazing products and fantastic service I'm sure your all skimming the rest of the post for a link. Calm yourselves loves don't I always take care of you?
Click Here for the best make up buying experience you'll ever have (until your second order to PA ;p).
I've busting to show you the awesome colors I've gotten but I feel a complete obligation to warn you about one thing.
WARNING: THIS MAKE UP IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ADDICTING. I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UTTER NEED TO BUY HER STUFF. BANKS AND HUSBANDS BE WARNED!!! The bank part isn't quite true not only are theses products fit for a rock star like myself they are super affordable for a broke rock star like myself.
New to makeup? Sensitive Skin? Can't commit to an entire jar of one single color? Have no fear she offers sample baggies as well. Sounds too good to be true right? Trust me it is not. Just as I 100% back Lucky Cupcake and all she does. I back Pretty Addictions 100% too. I won't go on my big business rant but you know how I feel. Lets support those that put love in our products shall we? So click the link. Visit her. Ok I'll wait.....too lazy to scroll up. FINE!
Linkage again for the lazy bums.
Just as I will be doing a give away for Lucky Cupcake I will soon purchase items for a give away from PA. I also hope to do an interview with PA's owner Kas. I am happy to announce I will be doing a face to face interview the amazing Joy from Lucky Cupcake in November! Exciting right? Aren't you just the luckiest blog followers ever?
Tired of reading? Ready for pictures? Bossy bunch aren't we? I kid I kid.
The first time I ever ordered from PA was my most favorite eyeshadow on the earth and beyond. Vintage Doll. Basically she took the essence of my life and ground it up in a glittery pile of love. The only thing that should be better is a Cherry Devine inspired color...a girl can dream right? I also bought the Moulin Rouge blush which I haven't tried yet. Unfortuntaley I was retarded and did not photography my lovely vintage doll but please enjoy the photo from the website.
My second purchase was the St. Patrick's Day Collection. I really wanted the dark emerald like green so I bought the whole thing and gave some of the colors to a very close friend. I did create a look using 2 PA colors and an Orglamix. I did photograph my package and the shadows before I have them away..

I can't even explain the excitement when I see this golden mailer in my mailbox...think Willy Wonka's golden ticket. |

Lucky 2Nite and Ohhhh Patrick by Pretty Addictions. Absinthe by Orglamix. I'm no Courtney but I'm getting better! |
I also photographed O' GoldiFuxx however when I attempted to convert it from RAW to .jpeg it corrupted. Basically the file was a bully. So just trust me its fabulous...or don't and buy it to judge for yourself :)
The third and most recent shipment I received today. It was the only thing to make me smile with such a bad day (well ok my cat did to). On March 15th PA celebrated their 1 year anniversary and in honor of that created 9 new semi matte shadows. Oh it gets better, when you buy the collection it arrives in the cutest mini paint can ever. No really I die and squeee when I look at it. It is now my piggy bank to save up for more Pretty Addictions!!
Being today was so awful and my head felt like it was being jack hammered I only have product photos to share no applications. But, remember Courtney that I mentioned what seems like chapters ago??? Well shes really amazing at applying makeup and just so happens to have a look created using ALL of the birthday collection. Baller right?
WARNING #2 WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT THE KISS & MAKEUP PAGE YOU WILL FIND ITS HARD TO STOP. HER ABILITIES WITH SHADOW AND BRUSH ARE PHENOMENAL. I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FORGET TO FEED YOUR FISH, CLEAN YOUR HOUSE OR GO TO BED IN A TIMELY MANNER BECAUSE YOUR ARE SPENDING YOUR TIME IN AWE OF GREATNESS.
