stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer: Swatches + Review!

I know, I know, I'm recycling photos again (you can see my first offense here).

But darn it, they're my photos (from my November Birchbox blog post) and they're perfectly good ones so I hope you all don't mind; I wasn't completely lazy anyways and included some new ones at the end for your viewing pleasure :)

So take the usual jump below to see my full review on this (SPOILER ALERT) gorgeous product!!

Firmoo.com Giveaway... 20 WINNERS!! (CLOSED)

I am SO excited to present this giveaway to you all today. 

Not only is it a wonderful opportunity for 20 of my lovely readers to win a prize (I'm not kidding: there will be TWENTY winners!), but I also get to celebrate something really special to me...

I reached 100 followers!!

To many people this may not seem like a lot but to me this is more than I could have ever dreamed for my little corner of the internet; I started ThriftThick at the beginning of this past summer, a mere five months ago, in order to inspire and inform anyone interested in the same things I am: thrifting, beauty, D.I.Y.'s... and Galileo, of course (#proudmammamoment).

So, as my way of saying thank you, I decided to host this amazing giveaway by Firmoo.

After working with them not too long ago (you can see my review of their glasses/service here) I was so happy when they contacted me again since it would be the perfect way of thanking my readers!!

As a girl who wears glasses everyday I think it's important for everyone to have access to glasses that are not only chic but AFFORDABLE!! Firmoo does just that (frames WITH LENSES start at $8, which is how much my pair [pictured above] from them cost!!) so I really want to spread the word of such a wonderful company to anyone in need of such a service :) 

And, like said, they sell sunglasses as well so all of you 20/20 readers out there can get your kicks as well if you win ;)

This contest is running until December 15th so that I can announce the winner before Christmas day (whether you celebrate Christmas or not doesn't matter, it'll just be a nice treat this holiday season!)!!
Just use the Rafflecopter widget below to get yourself entered; the only requirement is that you're a follower of mine and then voila! You've got yourself a chance at winning 1 of 20 gift vouchers worth $25 to use on Firmoo.com.  

Good luck!!

NOTD: Vintage Floral Nails

Well, my blog is turning into a nail polish/nail art blog again... you all know what that means, don't you?

I'm stressed.

Up the wazoo.

Basically, long explanations (read: excuses) aside, finals are coming up so I've been crushed for time between school, work, taking care of Galileo, etc. So, to ease this stress, I followed a nail tutorial on YouTube (by the lovely BubzBeauty) and created these cute and girly nails!!

From L-R:  L'Oreal "i will!", Revlon "BUTTERCUP", Sally Hansen "Sorbet", NYC "Greenwich Village", Revlon "Jaded", Revlon "Posh"

I think what I love most about these nails is the addition of the two polkadot nails and all the different background colors. It's just something a little unique and special that Bubz came up with that I absolutely adore!!

And another thing I adore?

This guy:

It's been awhile since you've all seen Galileo (aside from his cameos in my YouTube videos), hasn't it? This was just from the other day when he was having a shnooze on the couch behind me... 

he also just had a vet checkup/shots and he's almost 8 pounds!! He's only six months old and already weighs this much so I can only imagine how much he's going to weigh in the future (I'd be lying if I said I didn't want him to be a 20 pound Siberian like some of them get to be... a girl like me needs a MANLY man-cat to protect her and her home, after all!).

How has everyone been?

Have you ever rocked floral nails with a bit of a quirky design?

Do you prefer big pets (Great Danes, Siberians, etc.) or little pets (Toy Poodles, Singapuras, etc.)?

Do share!!

Model Co. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara: Swatches + Review!

Am I allowed to recycle photos when blogging?

Too late!!

But seriously, I hope you don't mind... it's only a few photos from when I opened my November Birchbox and, since they were perfectly good pictures of this mascara I'm about to review, I figured it was acceptable to use them again instead of just taking, essentially, the same Glamour Shots part deux.

e.l.f. Single Eyeshadows: Swatches + Review!

Geeeeeeez, I feel like I haven't posted in forever (though it's only been a few days)!!
