Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid: Peach and Green Review

I got this great little sample of Urban Decay's Color Correcting Fluid and I was so excited to try these! Using color theory, these correctors aim to cancel out common skin imperfections.
I got the peach corrector meant for masking circles and spots and the green corrector for reducing redness. I have a lot of pink and red in my skin (and unfortunately quite a few blemishes currently) so I was especially excited about the green.
L: no makeup; Center: green applied to blemishes on chin, tip of nose, cheeks and forehead, Peach applied to undereyes; R: blended and foundation applied.
I think these color correctors did an amazing job at covering up my redness and my undereyes. I especially love the green for disguising my blemishes!
Full face of makeup applied
I would really like to try some of the other correctors in this line, but I really like the green one. With my foundation applied on top, there is no trace of the green and my redness is pretty well covered up. I'd definitely be interested in purchasing these correctors in the future when I have some more disposable income (so probably never...). I'd also be interested in the pink color for my under eyes for extra brightening. These correcting concealers sell for $28 for 0.05 oz.

NOTD: Formula X for Sephora in 'Illustrious'

Formula X for Sephora has quickly become my favorite nail polish brand! I think the formula is fantastic, the colors are plentiful, and the design of the packaging is totally chic to display out in the open.  I'm building this collection slowly but surely, and my most recent addition is this gorgeous pastel pistachio shade, 'Illustrious.' This minty shade has been 'in' for a couple seasons now and I don't see it going anywhere in a hurry! This particular shade sets itself apart from other similar hues because it has a gorgeous pearl sheen running through it. The pearlized finish makes the color look extra shiny and extra gorgeous!

This formula required 2 full coats to be completely opaque and the wear time is about 5 days with no chippage. I love this formula and think its worth the cost to get some of your favorite colors from this brand!

NOTD: Just Spotted The Lizard

Today I'm sportin a color from O.P.I.'s Amazing Spiderman collection, 'Just Spotted the Lizard.'
I think two pictures are necessary to capture how frikin cool this color is!!! It's goldish green in some lighting, but when in the shade or darker lighting, there is a dark green/blue that shines through this color.
You can kind of get an idea of this color's innate awesomeness by looking at all the colors in the bottle, but really, you just gotta try this manicure out yourself to understand how amazed I am by this color! I got so many compliments while I was wearing it (by girls and guys alike!) and as an added bonus, this color is an exact dupe for Chanel's 'Peridot' nail polish.  Google comparison photos and you'll see what I mean.

Would you wear this reptilian color on your fingertips?
