Marlowe's Halloween Romance + Model's Own Mystic Mauve

The Princess and the Frog

Yes, Halloween is over, but Marlowe is still thinking about his beautiful princess. I loved her costume, and I thought that Model's Own Mystic Mauve would be a pretty compliment to her royal look. Mystic Mauve is a soft lavender mauve foil with lots of shine and bling. It screams, "kiss me frog."

Princess approved.


Muahhhhhh! Would you kiss this frog?

Light leaf green foil.


Did everyone have a great Halloween? Marlowe dressed as a frog prince (photo to come later) and I was inspired by his green to post about one of my favorite pretty greens in my collection. Models Own Green Flash is a light leaf green foil. I think it doesn't scream "green" as much as it says "shine" "metallic" or "bling" and that's why I like it. This is such a pretty girly green!

Models Own Haul - Bottle Shots

I love setting goals and reaching them. Models Own had posted on their Facebook that they would do a 50% sale if they reached 10,000 Likes. Well, they reached that goal (now at over 12,000) and I hauled!

My previous post on Models Own, shows my Models Own stash which were purchased by a friend who had moved to London. Ever since, I had been craving to purchase.

After ordering, I realized that they have specials on their website (Buy 3 save £3, Buy 5 save £7) everyday! So I won't have to rely on visitors or a once in a lifetime sale for my next haul.

Here are the bottle shots of my haul. I will swatch them on the nail soon. I'm the most excited about the foils. Which colors are your Models Own favorites?
