Revlon Autumn Berry

I live in a semi-small town and rarely have a place to buy polish outside of Sally's.  I have a Wal-Mart and an HEB, but that's it.  My HEB decided to remodel the entire store and in their moving of cosmetics, I noticed a bunch of Revlon's with a $2 off ticket attached.  I realized I didn't own and Revlon and took the opportunity to grab one.

Autumn Berry is a wine red with a tiny bit of gold in it.  However, the gold was more in the bottle than anything else.  It's definitely a shimmer and a good fall color at that.  I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Autumn Berry and a top of Seche Vite.  The formula was good - no pooling/not thick.

In the sun you can see a tiny bit of the gold shimmer - it wasn't very pronounced though.

In the shade, the color is much darker red - like a berry wine.

Indirect sun was my favorite here.  You can see the shimmer but also the base color well.  Overall it was worth 


Revlon can be found in several grocery and drug stores - price may vary from $3-5.  Check out their website for more information.  You can also follow them on Twitter or like them on Facebook.

Urban Decay Eyeliners

Clicking this image will take you to Urban Decay's website.  I do not receive any revenue for your clicks.

I've said it before, I'm obsessed with Urban Decay.  When I saw this email, I immediately clicked on it to buy these eyeliners.  Urban Decay's 24/7 Eyeliners are the ONLY ones that I have been able to use on my waterline without the liner running into my eyes.  I love Zero (their zealous black) and enjoy Ransom (bright iridescent purple) but this includes NINE of them, so I'm stoked.  I already have a full size of Zero (two actually), and a mini of Whiskey from the NAKED palette, and a full sized & mini Ransom (from the Book of Shadows 3), but WHO CARES.  Eyeliner is awesome.  Hah.

Three Things

Three things people.


(1) It is NEVER okay to use your blog to bash another blogger, ESPECIALLY for blog views (people reading your dumb drama).  If you have a problem with a blogger, put your big girl pants on, and talk to them.  This is not related to me, but rather to a blogger that I enjoy following, and what I saw today flat out irritated me.  She is being bashed, and for NO good reason, and I'm irritated.  rawr.


(2)  I want some GOSH Holographic polish.  I'm trying to figure out a way to get it here to my house, so if you know someone in the States that sells it, please let me know.  You can leave it in the comments or email it to me at krystal@polishgalore.com  (PS: I found their USA website but they don't have GOSH Holographic specifically) Fulfilled!  Thank you so much to Martje from Girly Addictions for the trade of GOSH Holographic for deborah lippmann Happy Birthday!


(3)  emeraldsparkled of Twitter, who owns the blog of the same name made this awesome little graphic which I'm using in my blog now.  If you'd like to do the same, please message her (she does recolors too!)

That will be all.  <3

Barielle Aura Angora

From the Fall 2010 Style in Argyle collection, Barielle's Aura Angora is a royal gold creme, that reminded me of mustard to be honest.  There was an episode of the Girls Next Door (one of the few I saw), where one of the girls was going all over New York City looking for "yellow mustard" but all the vendors had was a brownish mustard.  While this isn't truly a brown yellow, I was reminded of it while swatching this color.


I used a base coat of Seche Natural, only one fully opaque coat of Aura Angora, and a top of Seche Vite.  The formula was just a tiny bit thick, but for a yellow to be opaque and not streaky in one coat is an amazing feat.

As you can see in the sun, this isn't a neon  yellow by any means.  The hint of brown (seen in all the colors of this collection) is apparent, but it's still a pretty fall color.

In the shade, the color really reminded me of the brown mustard from the TV show mentioned above, but it's definitely a gold color - almost like a tarnished gold?  I think this would be great in nail art as well.

Barielle retails for $8/bottle.
