Retro Silver Lapis Lazuli Ring from Born Pretty Store!

**press sample**

Ok, so you all know how much I love The Vampire Diaries, right? I made a set of frankens inspired by the show. I even went to a convention! I actually like all things vampire - well almost. In Vampire Diaries, most of the vampires have a daylight ring, made with Lapis Lazuli that helps them walk around in the daylight. I even made one of my frankens based around it. I was SO super stoked with Born Pretty Store started selling replicas of this ring!! ...and there's a D - so it MUST be Damon's ;)


It is a rather sizeable stone. The ring itself is made of silver alloy, and I'm not entirely sure what the stone is made out of. It is a large-size ring, and as you can see in the photos below, it takes up all the space from the base of my finger to my knuckle. But it's not at all uncomfortable.


You can purchase this ring here, for only $2.91! Be aware that Born Pretty Store ships from Hong Kong and Singapore. You can purchase all sorts of nail art, polish, jewelry and more! Follow Born Pretty Store on Facebook, Twitter and Instragram.

Kroger deli fried chicken campaign through BzzAgent!

*I am a Bzz Agent and this post is about a product I was able to test through a current BzzAgent Campaign*

Fried chicken. Delicious right? Even more delicious if you don't have to cook it yourself, right? :) I was lucky enough to get chosen by BzzAgent to get delectable fried chicken from the Kroger deli! The closest thing we have around here is JayC, and that is owned by Kroger, so I hightailed it up to JayC and snagged my fried chicken, Coke and Kroger brand Kettle Chips.

The chicken was hot and fresh! My husband isn't a big fan of chicken on the bone, but even he devoured it. As for the kid...


Not much of a fried chicken fan himself, but he still managed to get his taste in. The Coke was a 1.25 liter bottle, which is more than enough for us. We don't drink a lot of caramel-colored beverages around here. The Kettle Chips were yummy, too! Those will definitely find their way back into my cart the next time I'm in JayC :)


When all was said and done, there were only 2 pieces left! They served me better a few days later! :)

EOTD from this weekend

We took my husband out for Father's Day on Saturday, and I actually put makeup on! I gotta admit, lately, I haven't been putting a lot of makeup on. I watch kids and work, and it's really too hot! haha But I did my eyes all up in some loose pigments, and I sort of like how it blended.


I used Sweet Libertine Captain Tightpants over my whole lid, then highlighted around my upper lashline with Jesse's Girl Troublemaker. I also lined my lower lashline with Troublemaker.

What do you guys think? Am I getting any better at this? hahahahah

**DISCLAIMER** I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these products myself or were given gifts from friend.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics loose colour pigment giveaway!


Blast from the Past: Butter London Bluey

I purchased Bluey a while back when Coterie sold makeup with credits I amassed by inviting people to Coterie. I'm not entirely sure how to disclose that type of purchase, so I'm just laying it all out here in this first paragraph for you guys. Wanted to make sure you knew how I got it :)

Anyway, I'm not so impressed with Bluey. I dunno. Doesn't seem so amazing to me. I took this photo a long time ago and just never got around to posting about it.


It's a pretty color. It's just boring. And not unique. I dunno, I guess I expected something spectacular on the nail, but it was kind of a letdown. The formula is okay, too.

Does anyone else have this polish and love it? I'm looking for other opinions!
