This Week on MissOmniMedia....3/19

It's been another crazy week at work...I apologize for not submitting anything new. I am hoping after this week I may have a new cocktail to share with you. But for now, you'll have to settle for story share.

Here's what I reviewed for MissOmniMedia:

NARS rolled out another new product to their brand, Satin Lip Pencil. It's fabulous and easy to tote around. But if you hate having to make room for your sharpener, you may have second thoughts about purchasing it. But try it, you may change your mind and you'll find a way to make room in that stuffed makeup bag for a sharpener!

Also, Attention BAY AREA Makeup Junkies I have an announcement!

This Week on MissOmniMedia

This week on MissOmniMedia, I review the latest from NARS - The Radiant Creamy Concealer. I am pretty pleased with it. It blends nicely and you can apply directly from the wand or swipe on your hand and use your favorite concealer brush.

Since I've been using this a certain co-worker no longer asks me if I am coming down with a sickness when I'm actually healthy. Ugh, I have to say that is my biggest pet peeve. Thanks NARS for helping me out!

Booze Review - 2/16/2013

Yay, booze review! This is the one time my guy friends feel okay to openly make comments on my otherwise  pink, fluffy, girly blog. I know I don't do these very often but like some of my guy friends that like these posts, I have a family and I can't just make an appearance at a hip, newish bar on a Tuesday night.

Lucky for you, I had a belated Valentine's dinner back on Saturday, 2/16 which allowed me to try a few drinks. I had to twist Mr. Lex's arm to drive us back home - luckily, he didn't put up too much of a fight.

I give you the Old Bittered Monk, Prospect - SF:

Look at that light gorgeous amber color. I has just one generous ice cube to give it the right amount of chill and it didn't overly water down my rye cocktail. The thick generous orange peel gives it a concentrated orange flavor. This is delicious, I was sad when I was finished and I can't wait to go back for more.

Ingredients:
Old Overholt Rye, Amaro Nonino, Yellow Chartreuse, Orange Bitters

This is the first time I heard of Old Overholt Rye and with some research, I need to go out and buy a bottle, not just because it's cheap (can go for $14) but it's a bit on the fruity side and nobody will give you a dirty look if you add some ginger-ale to it as opposed to a Rittenhouse Rye or something fancy like that.



Next up - Eve's Abandon, RN74

Ingredients: Applejack, Rye, Lemon, Mulling Spice and Egg white

It's frothy and almost like a pisco sour but with rye and is not as sour. I like the fragrance of this cocktail. Applejack, I believe is an apple liquor, along with the mulling spice it is reminiscent of a fall dessert. I would drink this one again.


And last but not least, Death in France, RN74

Ingredients: Yellow Chartreuse, Sparkling Wine, Yuzu, Orange

At first sniff, it is fruity, bright and citrusy. This is what you drink at brunch, not end the night that involved pork, bacon marmalade and rye. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered this drink. I think I just wanted to mix it up but after drinking two full flavored drinks, this was just not logical. It is sweet from the Yellow Chartreuse liquer but it also has a bit of a herbaceous bite. The yuzu gives some tart flavor and the orange keeps you from making a pucker face while sipping.

Would I drink this one again? Only if I return to RN74 during lunch hour and if my meal involves an egg scramble with bacon, naturally.

NARS 413 BLKR Multiple

I've been slacking - I know it's a real NEWS FLASH! I am trying to catch up so cut me some slack. I wrote a review for the latest NARS Multiple exclusive - 413 BLKR for MissOmniMedia.com

NARS being NARS this is anything but a delicate spring shade. It's a very sultry shade that also makes an excellent lip stain leaving you look effortlessly cool and sexy.

Thanks again to the very generous Sara and PR folks at NARS for graciously sending me samples to review. I can't tell you enough that it's like Christmas every morning at my office when I receive my samples. 

Pretty Pink Lips for Valentine's Day, Day 3

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have something special planned, whether you are single or attached I think it's just splendid to share love with those closest to you.

Not a warm and fuzzy partaker of all things red and pink hearts? Um...Happy Thursday?

Okay so what did I wear on my lips this day?

Hot pink of course!

The matte lip pencil to line my lips in Never Say Never (pink lilac), pure matte lipstick in Carthage (hot pink) and to top it off Easy Lover (sheer hot pink). Never Say Never is a softer pink so it tones down Carthage for the office. Even though both formulas are matte finishes they both set on my lips pretty comfortably but I like a light layer of gloss just for a bit of sheen.

I apologize - lighting is a bit dark here. Trust me, Carthage is pretty bright in person and to really set it off I recommend a bright pink lip liner or More To Love, MAC Pro Wear Liner (I featured yesterday). I'm thinking about ordering 413 Bleeker Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, fuchsia pink.

Again, I apologize for the low lighting. I am still trying to experiment with lighting in different rooms. Yes, I need to invest in brighter lighting. I will say that with my soft pink flower sweater and pink lips, I was in a Valentine's Day mood all day! And yes, it even made me smile. 

Unfortunately, that smile didn't last as I went into the office and was immediately annoyed by all the work and messages waiting for me. However, thinking about my two biggest Valentines, Mr. Lex and mini-cupcake which I will now rename, PrincessDivaGirl (self-explanatory) put a smile back on my face.

We didn't do anything big and special tonight because to us it was Thursday and spending special times with the two biggest loves of my life is pretty much every night. 

I hope you had a great and lovely Valentine's Day.
