Haul | Beauty Blender Dupes

ladies, just stopping by to share with you the new beauty blenders I picked up. I've been really interested in picking up the beauty blender but I wanted to try a few dupes first before I dropped some cash on them. I found these at Winners and they had a bunch of different colors to pick from. The ones I decided to go with were:

I can't wait to give these a try and see if they are really worth the hype. What do you ladies think of blending sponges like these ones?

Haul | Essie

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by and share with you this great deal I received on Essie polishes recently. About a month ago I stopped at my local Shoppers Drug Mart and found a bunch of Essie polishes on sale for only $4. Usually at they are like $12 and I couldn't pass it up. I was able to control myself and I only picked up 2 colors. The ones I picked were from this past Breast cancer collection. The colors I got were:

Good Morning Hope
I Am Strong
 
These are both beautiful colors for the Spring. I can't wait to try out these colors. Have you recently picked up any new polishes from Essie?

FOTD | 05.18.13

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by and share with you this look I recently wore to work. I've been trying to use palettes that I haven't touched in a while and I decided to use the limited edition Rich Caviar Eye Palette from Bobbi Brown. I wanted to go for a sexy smokey eye and an eye catching lip and I think I achieved that look pretty well.
