Outfit of the Day

I found this beautiful skirt at Kohls this week and had to have it!  I love the flirty frills and the cute print.  It's a good fit, and it also a great length.  It's not too short and not too long. 

 Skirt & belt - Kohls

Boots - Wetseal

T-shirt - Forever21

Accessories -  Kohls

In case you can't tell, my makeup is inspired by my skirt.  It makes me very happy to wear all these beautiful colors, especially after such a harsh winter! 

Spring, I am so happy you have arrived!

Benefit Boing Concealer Review

Silly Lexy! You paid $18 dollars for a concealer.  You thought you were getting a good product, but instead you got yucky stuff.  The following will be a review on Benefit's Boi-ing Concealer.

Pros:

creamy

covers (70% of discoloration)

does not crease (50% of the time)

Cons:

expensive

awkward finish

creases (50% of the time)

easy to contaminate

cheap packaging

screw-on lid

quantity (0.1 oz)

I can't say I absolutely HATE this product but it is definitely not a favorite of mine. Not only is it expensive for such a small amount of product, but it also doesn't perform like I expected.  This product is not "an industrial strength" concealer.  I don't really see what the big fuss is about.  I'm still trying to figure out where the "industrial strength" claim came from.  Seriously...it performs just like almost any other concealer.  It creases, it has noticeable finish.  What's so special about this thing?

After being disappointed with the actual product and the performance of it, there is yet another issue at hand.  The packaging.  The box packaging is...okay.  Nothing special.  The product itself is made of hard plastic.  It's one of those screw tops, which can be a pain if you have a thing for losing items (like I do).  So you pay $18 dollars for boring plastic packaging...woo-hoo!! Then, you realize that you can easily contaminate the product just by using your hands or your clean brushes.  Any fiber, or dust particle on your hands or brushes will easily transfer over to the concealer pot.  It's gross, annoying, and yucky.  Why couldn't they make this a tube?  It would be easier to get the product and also more sanitary. 

Overall, I was just disappointed with the product.  I thought I was paying more for a higher quality product...but instead I just got a plastic round box with a yucky creamy substance.  I would not recommend this to anyone...unless you want to be disappointed.  *Shrugs* some people are into that! 

Maybe I'm just the one single girl that is not satisfied with any concealer.  Will I ever find my concealer prince charming?

*As usual, I purchase all my makeup.  I am not paid to write silly reviews on anything.*

OPI Hong Kong Tiny Takeout

I recently purchased OPI's Hong Kong collection, the tiny takeout version. I got the mini size because I can't justify $8.50 on one nail polish.  For $12.50 I got 3 color nail polishes and 1 top coat. Not a bad deal.  I also like that they are tiny.  I am more likely to finish this bottle than an average size nail polish bottle.  I was reeeeally liking the plum color and the blue.  The red is very generic and can be duped with Revlon's Red.  

Tiny Takeouts includes:

Rapidry Top Coat

Suzi Says Feng Shui (blue)

Red My Fortune Cookie

Dim Sum Plum (my favorite)

I'm currently wearing "Dim Sum Plum" it is a perfect shade for early spring.  It transitions well from winter to spring.  I usually don't care about "in season" colors, but this colors is gorgeous!  Anyone interested in this collection?
