OPI I'm Suzi & I'm a Chocoholic + Extra-Va-Vaganza

Lately, I have been using my polishes from the OPI Swiss collection. This is the first chance I've had to wear them! Today I have I'm Suzi & I'm a Chocoholic.

This polish is a great brown red creme. It's like a brick red. It reminds me of the color of the chocolate river from the original Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory! The application was great and I'm really lovin' this polish!


I wanted to add a little extra oomph, so I made glitter dots with OPI Extra-Va-Vaganza. It looks like jewels encrusted onto some sort of royal tapestry to me. Loves it!

China Glaze Ingrid

Ingrid by China Glaze is a fabulous chocolate taupe. What makes it really unique is the hint of gold shimmer.

I love this color for the winter season because it reminds me so much of hot cocoa. The whole time I wore it I kept thinking how I wanted a warm mug of hot chocolate! Yummy!

Falling Leaves Mani

Even though most of the country is feeling the winter weather, here in Texas it still feels like fall. On Thanksgiving the high was 79 degrees if that tells you anything! I love falling leaves and wanted to do a mani that incorporated that. Here's what I came up with!

I used When U Say My Name by Misa as my base. It's a rich chocolate brown shimmer. I love it!!! I then used some Fimo leaves and a flower to decorate my nails. Easy peasy!

Philosophy Box of Truffles

This is a look I did using an eyeshadow palette from my favorite skin care line, Philosophy. The palette is called Box of Truffles and is a 4 piece set of browns.


1. Highlight - Latte a cream colored shadow.
2. Lid - Cocoa a shimmery warm brown.
3. Crease/Outer Corner/Lower lashes - Chocolate a deep brown.
4. Eyeliner - Pure Show by MAC from the Fabulous Felines collection. A gorgeous pure gold liquid liner.
5. Mascara - Bad Gal by Benefit

I really was pleased with this palette. I thought it wouldn't be too great since it's from a primarily skin care focused line. However, it turned out really pretty.
The gold liner from MAC is fabulous! Went on smooth and was just a great flash of gold!

MAC Burmese Beauty

This is the second look from my MAC Burmese Beauty eyeshadow palette. It's a lighter version of the first look I did here. It is also the eye look I am wearing in my video that I posted with the entry.


With this look I highlighted my brow bone with the light nude shade. I then applied the green/brown/plum shade all over my lid. Instead of putting the gold in the inner corner, I applied it all over the crease. This makes it a little bit lighter and better for daytime. I then used the Marked For Glamour liquid liner along the upper lash line and winged it out. I used the dark brown shadow for my bottom lashes. I finished with Bad Gal mascara!
