Nail Polish Galore! Collection Review + Video Details

Hello, everyone! I told myself I would never film another nail polish collection video after the first one that I took down because of all the horrid comments and the lack of visibility of the actual polishes, but I received a flood of requests for this video recently so I gave in today and filmed it. The nail polish racks are from Amazon.com, seller Beauticom and I've linked you to the product HERE (not an affiliate link). They lowered the price since I purchased them! Also, please note this video took me over 6 hours just to edit, so please watch it in HD and full screen to see the details of the polishes :)
I do wish I could have posted swatches of each of the colors, but applying all of these colors to my nails would be an incredibly daunting task. It would take me several weeks, if not months, to swatch all these polishes and I simply do not have the time at the moment. I did mention all my favorites, so I hope you give them a try!

Armani Fall 2012 Makeup Collection + Maestro Foundation Review Video Details

Finally, the time to review Armani's Fall 2012 makeup is here! It has been a long process of waiting for the new Maestro 'Fusion' foundation to be shipped to me, but it was totally worth it.. so worth it that I bought a second bottle. Now I can match my skin regardless of how fair I get in the winter or how tan I get in the winter! I can use rich hydrating creams under it, and it doesn't accentuate pores. What's not to love? The review is long because I don't get around to reviewing Armani products much. I wanted to be thorough, even more so than usual ;) Just keep in mind the tutorial starts at 10:29. Feel free to skip the review if you're just interested in seeing how the foundation applies!

What's In My Bag Tag + Video Details

Yesterday on twitter, I asked my followers if they would like to see a What's In My Bag Tag video or a Favorite False Lashes video. I'm sure you've guessed by the title of this post that the former won! I will film the False Lashes video later this month because the Armani Fall 2012 video is next, finally!

But today, I'm going to review the purse that I have been carrying all too often this year (since I only own a total of 3 bags, I get a lot of use out of all of them). I hope you enjoy the video and taking a sneak peek into my clutter-free bag!
