One of four products sent to me for review by Influenster.com. The color I was sent is called Bottoms up and it is a creamy jean shade color. It looks absolutely gorgeous on the nail. The polish lasted 3 days without top coat before severe wearing. Doesn’t chip, wears off. With a top coat it lasts much longer than my average nail polish and I do some major damage on my nails with all my hands-on work. The price of this product runs at about $2.99 and there are 32 different shades. I am super pumped about this nail polish and will be picking up some more colors like banana appeal, in the limelight and who knows what other color I’ll pick up. I gave Bottoms Up to my mother because she was in love with the color. The paper I got says it is available for a limited time…
Let me start by saying there are some brands out there that I honestly just find intimidating. Yes I love makeup but I am by no means a PRO or a makeup artist (though I have some fabulous friends that are). MAKE UP FOR EVER was one of these brands for me. I’ve only ever looked at their products at Sephora. But now having meet the team at the King of Prussia store and seeing what Employees of MAKE UP FOR EVER are about I feel the complete opposite. They made you feel so comfortable and they really just want to teach you the brilliant ways of makeup. I found out they have makeup lessons, and even this September they will have their very own Makeup Lesson Studio where the artists apply from behind you so that it can be filmed and you can watch it again from…
Fake Tattoos is a European brand of quite obviously fake tattoos that ship worldwide. They carry both stock and custom tattoos. Many of which are absolutely gorgeous. I always suggest to people who want to get a tattoo that they’ve had drawn or drew their self they should get a temporary tattoo of it to see if they really like it. Fake Tattoos’ company gives you the opportunity to create your own custom fake tattoos as well as have some realistic looking tattoos you can wear on both your skin and your nails. They are super cute for events, special occasions and photography sessions. Fake tattoos sent me some of their nail designs to try out and all of them make your nails look super cute. I tried them with three different sets. The designs lasted for me about 2-3 days if you use do heavy typing or cleaning…
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Tag post. I thought this one would be fun to do and informative for all of you! 1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight? My hair is naturally very curly, I have a tough time keeping it straight in humid or during the summer, the front always curls on me! 2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon? I don’t dye my hair, and I’m guilty of not getting my hair cut when you’re supposed to, I try to stretch it the best I can lol the life of a poor college student. 3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it? Hair? If I’m in a rush I either throw it up as a side bun or straighten it out. If I have some time, I’ll experiment with something new. Clothes related I…
For anyone who doesn’t know Julep maven is a subscription box for Julep nail polish costing $19.99 per box. (June Nantucket It Girl Box) So here’s how the process went down: I went to the site and finally found a box worth starting for so I put it in my cart. Upon ordering I had some issues with the site keeping my item in the shopping cart. Then I ordered all was well. I ordered an additional item, quick dry drops for the $4.99 price. I received my tracking information. The shipping was rather slow compared to what I’m use to but I didn’t wait weeks to get the product either so I don’t think I can complain much about that. It is shipping across the country. When I received my box there was only one item in the box, with one order and the rest of my order was…
So okay it’s more like eye of the day since I really only did the eye makeup to walk around the house in.I’ve done this look a few times before, normally there is more black and a thinner line of gold but I generally just wing it.The base of my eye is a skin tone color and a light brown in the crease just for depth. This was from a custom Coastal Scents palette I created. The three main items I used were: Maybelline eye studio cream liner in blackest blackGlamour Doll Eyes eye shadow pigment in Trophy Wife (last time I used this was in my Sailor-esk FOTD linkage ) Almay’s get up and grow mascara I was having a bit of trouble getting good photos with my glasses on but alas I tried! I think this would be a nice accompany to a little black dress. It’s simple but…
Photo and Art by The Nail Network First off I just want to say have you seen the amazing nail artwork by The Nail Network? There is Ariel nail art and OH MY GOODNESS I wish these were pre-made and readily available because I would so rock these lol. I love Disney and the Disney Princesses so of course when I hear Sephora was coming out with another set I was ecstatic.For a full list of the set details check out Beautezine’s fantastic site. The collection will be released online this month (June) but won’t be in actual Sephora stores until August. Stay tuned, I really hope I get my hands on something from this collection! I know if I can’t afford it in budget I’m at least buying that mirror. The palette would be my desired item and the perfume bottle is gorgeous! I love Ariel, lets be honest…
For my birthday I got the Lorac Pro Palette. Now there are quite a number of neutral eyeshadow palettes out there now and the one issue I always have with inspecting them is that they have too many shimmery, glittery etc. Type shadows. I wanted to see matte every day eye shadows and the Lorac Pro Palette is actually the perfect blend of both. I feel like many of the colors can be used with cooler or warmer shades to complete a look. This is definitely one palette that I could take on a trip and not need any other shades at all. Perfect transition shades, covers night time looks as well as day. It has a matte black which I always find important to top liner. Natural Look with Neutral Palette The consistency of the shadows is great but the texture is very strange to me as I am…

So I attempted my first half-moon design when my boyfriend got me the Revlon Nail Art (Expressionist) in Silhouette. What I used: Milani Top Coat E.L.F. Base Coat Both colors of Silhouette Paper ring binder stickers I LOVE this set of polish. The metallic color has a smaller brush and the more nude shade has a normal size brush. Both colors dried quite quickly though the metallic color dried in a matter of a few minutes. This is great when you are doing nail art because you don’t have to wait a long time in between coats. It lasted almost 7 days without a single chip. I did not use a fancy top coat, I used the exact same Milani top coat that I always use. The cost of the polish was $6.95 which you are getting two quickly drying shades that are in my opinion gorgeous and work appropriate. While my first time came…
