EOTD: The Fluff Emience of Purple Rain with Gypsy Smoke...(and some swatches too)

*Purchased*
Hello Lovelies!
    I am back again today with a new EOTD featuring Candii Blossom Cosmetics. I dunno about you, but there are some days that just feel a color when I am doing makeup and today just felt like a purple kind of day. Candii Blossom Cosmetics has some really gorgeous purples but out of all of them Purple Rain is my favorite. Since I am child of the 80s, when I hear Purple Rain I instantly think of Prince.
Yup, Purple Rain will forever invoke the thought of Prince.
  There is something about a man with eyeliner and makeup wearing high heels that just makes me so happy. Perhaps the 80s is where my love of drag queens started cause almost every band had men in makeup and Prince was just the embodiment of sass and fabulousness.
Look at all this sass and fabulousness!

 When I saw Purple Rain in the CBC store, not only did the song pop into my head but I knew I had to have it.
I totally wanted Purple Rain on my eyeballs immediately.
But enough chattering on about how lovely the color is and awesome dancing Prince Gifs,let's get to what you are really after! Pictures!


I used the following items for this look:
Lunatick Cosmetic Labs Primer
Candii Blossom Cosmetics Fluff

Candii Blossom Cosmetics Purple Rain



Candii Blossom Cosmetics Eminence


 Candii Blossom Cosmetics Gypsy Smoke

Wolfe FX Essential Palette for the dots and liner
Ardell Corset Lashes


Now both Fluff and Purple Rain are out of stock currently, however they should be restocked soon so don't cry...

Don't Cry Prince, Purple Rain will be back in stock soon.
 I hope that you enjoyed this EOTD and some added swatches! You can pick up Candii Blossom Cosmetics on Etsy. You can also follow them on Facebook, Instagram and their Facebook Fan Page for the latest sales updates. Until next time lovelies!

Mani Monday: Catch a Star Featuring Vapid Lacquer


*I Bought This*

Hello Lovelies!
   It was a crazy and sad week with the passing of my parents' dog due to Sego Palm poisoning so I wasn't able to do another post. However, I am back with another Mani Monday installment, this time I am featuring some new polishes from Vapid Lacquer. I have to say Vapid Lacquer makes truly EPIC holo polishes and I needed to pick up some more since I can never have enough sparkly goodness. So I picked up three minis (two holos and one duochrome which I will share with you at another time) and some of her bath goodies to try out and review. The two polishes that I am featuring today, Catch Me If You Can and Star Stuff, caught my eye and I knew that I needed to have them on my nails immediately. Catch Me If You Can is described as a "teal polish with a TON of linear holo" on the site. I just think it is the perfect combination of blue and green, and what I would consider on the dark end of the teal spectrum, with holo-y goodness thrown in. Now Star Stuff is described on the site as "stunning bright silver packed with linear holo". This polish is purely epic. It is a lovely silver when you are wearing it indoors but when the sun hits it, Star Stuff is a holo explosion which makes me think of disco balls coming out of the corner and drag queens running to sing Abba on my fingernails. While I love Catch Me If You Can, I  REALLY LOVE Star Stuff (possible borderline obsession really)  and I need to order a full size in hopes that drag queens will ambush me and sing Abba when the sun hits this polish. I mean seriously on a crappy over cast day I was still able to get this awesome holo shot (and NONE of my indoor shots would do this justice).

  So needless to say these two polishes are simply gorgeous so if you want or NEED to pick them up you can do so HERE. You can also follow her on her Facebook Page as well were she posts games where you can win some awesome goodies from her store. Hope you enjoyed this installment of Mani Monday!

Until Next Time lovelies!
