Panda-monium Mondays!

Hey Pandas!
Welcome to my new Monday post which is going to function as a mish-mash of a bunch of things blog related and beyond. It will also be the place I will be posting about contests etc (and yes, my first one is coming up soon!)
 
First of all, on my old blog space I used to have a lot of epic panda pictures and I am going to bring that back...say hello to your dose of cuteness for the week!

 
And speaking of Pandas, what is Miss Pretty Panda lemming for this week? The new Jo Malone Sugar and Spice collection!
 
 
 
The scents are: Lemon Tart, Redcurrant and Cream, Elderflower and Gooseberry, Ginger Biscuit, and Bitter Chocolate and Orange. Um, yum! Sign me up for all of them okay?
 
 
There have been a ton of looks I have loved from NY Fashion Week, but I have to say this is one I want to translate:
 


 
 
I love the dark lips and taupe eyes, STILL. It is really timeless alone with the side-swept hair. One of my fave shows this year.
 
And of course makeup trends go hand in hand with nail trends! My favorite this week is also from NY Fashion week, but from another show.
 
 
 
These are so cool, throughout the whole show the models had nails with pictures from famous horror movies. The slight point is edgy as well. Love!
 
 
And my inspiration song for the week: Imagine Dragons Radioactive. Weird video but great song!
 
Hope you enjoyed my first Panda-monium Monday!

NYX Aqua Luxe Glam Gloss: Swatches and Review

A good gloss is harder to find than you would expect, but it can be found on a budget.
 
NYX is one of those brands I tend to gravitate towards because they have quality at a reasonable price. I recently tried one of their Butter Glosses, but I do prefer this one!
 
 
 
This is NYX Aqua Luxe Glam Gloss in Glitter Dreams. It is a hot pink sheer base with tons of pink and gold glitter. This really is a disco ball on the lips. It retails for just under $5, has a spatula type applicator and no real smell.
 
 
This is for someone that wants to make a statement with very little effort. Just swipe this on and go! The formula is non-sticky, long lasting, and not gritty despite the amount of glitter. I know glitter can be intimidating, but this is for a fun night out.
 
 
This really is a comfortable gloss to wear and the wet look of the gloss paired with the glitter give lips a plumped up effect without the pain!
 
 
I mean look! I am so in love with this gloss and am planning on picking up more in other colors!
 
 
A cheap, fun, and functional gloss for spring. A must have from NYX's new offerings.
 
Price: 10/10
Performance: 10/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Packaging: 10/10
Overall Quality: 10/10

Total: 49/50 = A+ = Pandamonium!
 
Have you tried these new glosses? Fave shade I should pick up?
