OPI's Burlesque Nail Polish - The Show Must Go On

 

The Show Must Go On, is my favorite of the collection. It's a red-pink duo chrome with ton of glitters. I get really picky with reds. Red is all about sex appeal, but it has to be perfect. Hello, I'm picky. This is just gorgeous!

OPI's Burlesque Nail Polish - Ali's Big Break

 

How did I not know about this until recently? Bad Rachael! I was doing my monthly trip to Cosmo Prof and I walked by the Burleque display and did a double take. I grabbed it so quick and good thing there was only 2 left! As most of you know I'm obsessed with EVERYTHING Burlesque related. Nothing has gotten me so enarmored since Grindhouse with Rose McGowan. 

I'm going to moving from the right to the left when I do these posts. First up is Ali's Big Break. Candy apple reds are not high on my list of favorites. They don't speak to me. 

Name: Ali's Big Break

Burlesque Makeup: Cher

I've done almost every makeup look Christina Aguilera has had. Because I like her more? Well, I do but thats not why. Cher, who I am not quite a fan of, was great in the film. She cracked me up and I enjoyed her musical numbers. But she has only one steady makeup look. Dark brown eye shadow and sometime her lid had a touch of glitter. Her lips went from nude to nude/berry. This is my interpretation below. 

What I Used:

eyes

UDPP in Sin

NYX eye pencil in Brown

Lancome e/s in Margarita Affair

Lancome e/s in Honeymoon

Lancome e/s in Madame Muse 

Benefit's Bad Gal mascara

lips

MAC lip liner in Whirl

Urban Decay lipstick in Love Child

face

The Body Shop moisture cream

Maybelline Mineral Powder liquid foundation

Burlesque Makeup: Christina Aguilera - Express

 

This makeup was inspired from the song "Express", which was one of my favorites from the movie. Christina's makeup is very bold and direct. Her cat eye is a little more extended and I have a glitter in my black. 

There are a few pictures from before I went out to see Burlesque for the 4th time. I just can't stop seeing this movie...it's sooooo beautful! It was night when I took the pictures, so they are a little off balance, but you get it. :P

What I Used:

Eyes

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Stila smudge pot in Black

Bare Minerals' e/s in Black Leather

Lancome e/s in Honeymoon

Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse

Urban Decay's blush in Quickie

Bare Minerals' e/s in Soul as shimmer

hello shortness, my new hair

It's no secret that I have curly hair and I hate it. I've always wanted to try a chemical to straighten my hair, even by just a little. Pivot Point is only 2 blocks from my apartment and last week I gave it a go. Pivot Point is a cosmology school therefore the prices are very low for services. Instead of paying over $100, it cost me $40. Well, I had a coupon so essentially cost $20. $26 with tip. 

My poor hair didn't take it too well. I have dyed hair, so mixing with the relaxer a lot broke off actually. :( And brushing it an over excessive amount of hair came out. Yesterday I decided to get it cut off. 

This is what is was supposed to look like:

The girl took a tad too much off. It's even shorter than Christina Aguilera in Burlesque!

My hair grows fast and maybe I have some bangs. Thanks, Xtina. Much love! 

 

Burlesque Makeup: Poster

 

This wasn't planned, but for Black Wednesday I went out for drinks and I realized my makeup was looking like the poster for Burlesque. Coincidence?  hmmm...who knows! 

Kinda lame but I don't have more pictures or a list of what I used, but I figured why not post this anyways.
