last weekend i picked up this sally hansen nail polish (all fired up) at cvs which is an almost perfect match (red/orange) to my beloved ysl lip gloss (tangy orange 7). at first i wasn't sure if i was fond of the wide rounded flat brush, but i soon realized it was perfect. i was out the door with one coat and it looked great :) i'm all about easy as far as cosmetics go.... and really can't do nail polish that requires tons of coats because it is almost certain i will smudge it. sooo, cvs + one coat + fairly inexpensive=perfect. and the colors are great, i picked up commander in chief last night and there is also a deep plum i want. get them online here.
and i'm also really picky about what i put on my face... so this ysl lip gloss is perfect because there isn't an overwhelming taste or smell, it lasts and the color is just the right amount to make me look alive but not too overwhelming...
just thought i'd share :)

"amen!, & amen!" i don't think I've ever been in such totally absolute agreement (matter of fact, i positively, definitively, know that i haven't, lol) w/anyone 'bout anything else in my *entire earthly* life!

sabella, sweetheart, your "enchanting & breathtaking beauty" is almost "beyond words!" but, "my, my, my...!", i'll soon attempt to do so at least, somewhat, somehow ... :) <333

namaste,
xoxo

I definitely recommend subscribing to National Geographic. I have for years and have not once regretted it!

apparellel said...

that dress looks stunning on you, or you look stunning in that dress. either way you are freaking gorgeous! so... i love summer too, ysl lipstick is my fave, although it is a bit too fragrant for my allergies sometimes )=: and led zeppelin is my all time favorite band too!!
i want to see what you are sewing!!

bountifully abloom in beautifulness!!!

sabella!, sabella!, sabella!- :)

how, "pray tell," can one wondrous woman possibly be --- ever so "utterly ravishingly beautiful" & so gorgeously lovely!? :)

as kimberellie suggests, with seemingly some smidgeon of an imagination --- and most marvelously, magically, fantastically --- one is truly transported from the "mere mundane & prosaic" to some "magical, mystical, magnificent realm of exquisitely exotic & otherworldly lovliness!" :)

"damn!", you're almost too awesomely beautiful & adorable, "dear boo" --- to actually be really real, and so very wondrously true! so ever exuding "dreamy romance" & "enchanting sexiness!" we are almost, not truly worthy... ;)

it's seemingly alike, this "divinely gorgeous goddess," realizing how earthly travails can oftentimes be rather taxing & trying --- lovingly chose to so graciously grace this most-times so secret garden with her "phenomenonally pulchritudinous presence" --- so that anyone bein' a bit still (...be still, and know, i am god{dess!}, lol) & takin' time to truly behold & partake a "mere magically glorious glimpse" (wow, and the "wondrous spell is cast"...!)--- might then be given & bestowed some "awesomely beatific vision(s) of sheerly heavenly & paradaisical wonder & delight!" :)

so sabella, "wow!", thanks for sharing, inspiring, & sparking such "utterly rare & stunning beauty," babe --- into our oft day-to-day, sometimes so, so, ho-hum worlds & lives (... what a lovely state of conciousness --- bein' fruitful with gratitude). :) <333

namaste,
xoxo

ps: soon will comment on actual content & particulars. :)

that dress is beautiful! the pearl buttons on the back are stunning! you look so beautiful but also grounded, like a true Taurus!
ps
Shutter Island was the scariest movie ever! i slept with the light on for like 3 months after that... who am i kidding,i'm still sleeping with the lights on! Do you think he was crazy or that they were trapping him?
brilliant film
