Fashion’s Night Out – Recap

After anticipating the day, when yesterday night came into fruition, it was like the whole city was in a party. I honestly have to tell you, the closest I have seen so many people in such a big city party simultaneously is for Halloween. Otherwise, we seem to be a serious bunch.

I have so many pictures to show you and things to tell you, but that will have to wait until later tonight. The upload process of photos is taking way too long and the start of NY Fashion Week is beckoning me. That then, also tells you that I’ll have even more good things to share!

To give you a quick view into the future posts:
-the displays for FNO09 were phenomenal. I was so taken aback by the creativity of all my favorite, and a bunch of new to me brands
-the streets were alive! I even have a picture of the subway being completely empty, and a very opposite busy store
-there were several partnerships of brands that worked out amazingly well! Just wait till you see who.

I can’t ever explain thoroughly, how much in love with Zoya I am, but here is another profession of my love:

Harley

This is the softest gray shimmer that I have seen. It reminds me of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, when they chose the slogan for the jewelry line to be “Frost Yourself.” This is such a … frost… color.

Don’t forget to invest in a Zoya or two – or a hundred before October, that’s when their nifty $6 goes up to meet with Mr. Economy & Mrs. Inflation to be $7. You can get the color Harley here. It’s also offered as part of the Twist! sampler with my other fave, Malia.

As the rules apply with the giveaway – this is a polish that’s now added to the list of prizes.

Who’s Asking?

In case anyone is asking – here’s what I look like today and my nails too! 🙂

FYI: this is a tidbit of the Tarte Fall goodies. Got this from the NY Bloggin’ Beauts event in July! If you’re a NY’er, get your butt over to the NY Bloggin Beauts blog and give me a holler, so that you can make the next event!

I’ll admit – I took these pics in the workplace, that’s why I had to crop the weird shadow effect off to the side. Guilty as charged! 🙂

I’m devastatingly in love with this palette. The eyeshadows are all removable so you can do with them what you may, and the colors are uber work appropriate and soft. There are two great concealer colors, highlight colors, and smokey colors. Did I mention it comes with a double ended brush that is softer than a baby’s behind oughta be and a pencil? (That’s not a pencil you see in the black – that’s another brush o’ mine).

Naturally, this is the first but nowhere near the last FOTD with this palette, so keep your eyes peeled! Oh and did ya spy the zipper rose embellishment on the packaging? Y’all know I’m a sucker for awesome embellishments. That’s a pleasantly surprised expression by the way… 🙂

Products used:
Tarte Femme Naturale palette
(check out their other palette (Femme Fatale) for Fall on their website here)
MAC Dazzleglass in Smile
MAC Plushlash mascara

Oh and let’s not leave out the nails! Rocking ORLY, Miss Yaya did double duty this week. Once for the cool, calm, and collected, and once for the loud and in charge. By the way: one of these polishes came via the NY Bloggin’ Beauts event in July, and the other via a recent shopping trip to CVS.

NOTD – What’s It Matte to Zoya?

Forgive my clever-tastic titles – I am full of ’em.

As promised, there will be short posts in between other ones to keep your eyes readin’!

Last week I let y’all know about Zoya having a Twitter promotional purchase. Three free polishes!

Being that I had my eye on so many, I had to get just one more.

It took me a total of 30 minutes between entering my house, opening the package and giving myself a mani and I am nowhere near disappointed. How great does this matte color look?

Check out Zoya for wayyy more polish goodness & don’t forget to get it together and get with their twitter (tell them MyOwnJudge sent ya!), so that if you missed the last tweet-purchase, you won’t be indicted twice for the same crime! 🙂 Oh yeah, don’t forget the Zoya blog neither!

Implementing Changes – NOTD

I noticed a lot of blogs have been posting shorter posts for more interactive communication with their readers in between longer posts. The more I saw, the clearer it got that this was a great idea.

So without further ado, I bring to you the new upcoming features to pop up frequently to keep your reading eyes entertained:

Face of the Day(s) b/c I don’t wear makeup every day y’all(FOTD),
Nail of the Day(s) (NOTD),
and many more!

Right now y’all must see my bright version of a DIY french mani.

I know it’s not healthy to talk yourself up – but really… I am really happy with the outcome!

Some of you may not believe me when I say bright colors, but this is certainly proof.

That’s my bright fuchsia/hot pinkish iPhone cover… Believe me now??

These are the full polish swatches/bottle pics for the two bright buggers 🙂

Oops- didn’t realize the size of these pics was so different. Pink Flame on the left and Orange Revenge on the right. The orange is a little less … radioactive looking in person but they are both pretty true to color. Don’t you love it!?
