Pale foundation and concealer swatches!
Below are some pictures and swatches of pale foundations and concealers! Keep in mind - I am about NC5-NC10 (paler than any of MAC's foundations) but I can make every single one of these foundations match my skin (aside from the Illamasqua). Concealers are a bit harder, although all of these match decently aside from the Makeup Forever.

Boring Post
Well, it has been forever since I have written. My computer is dead and I have no access to Photoshop or my pictures. :( However, it should be fixed soon. I hope.
NOTD is China Glaze Cracked Concrete over Zoya Kelly. Kelly is GORGEOUS and I never thought I would love a color like that so much. It looks great with my skintone.

Shower Together and belated V-Day Manicure
An old NOTD: China Glaze Shower Together. I really love this color.
And the manicure I wore for Valentine's Day! It's OPI The One That Got Away layered under Nicole by OPI Love Your Life, with OPI Teenage Dream on thumbs.

Long time no post
Some recent stuff...

China Glaze Atlantis and hauls
I think I'm in love with China Glaze Atlantis. Here is two thick coats of it over one coat of OPI Black Onyx:
OMG SPARKLES
I can't stop looking at it. I want to redo my manicure but I don't want to take this polish off!
Finally, here are some quick pictures of my hauls from the past couple of days:
