So I still have my nail polish that I won in their cardboard boxes since lets be honest, I need proper storage for my nail polishes lol there isn’t enough room! I was thinking about that China Glaze Riveting color (the bright orange jelly) but I was feeling a little…edgy? So I went with darker nails using the matte finish grey of Stone Cold (also China Glaze) on eight of my fingers and the bright Riveting on my thumbs. Topped with ELF’s Matte Finisher. I even did all of my toes in Riveting! On a totally side note, sorry I haven’t been around much, I’ve been busy in life. I do have quite a lot of swatches already photographed and reviews that I want to get done though! Still working on getting some Nail art posts up. Talk to you soon!
So a little over a month ago I received my samples from Virus Insanity. All of the samples that I purchased were duo-chromatic and they have quite a good selection. I had 5 samples, I tried to get a variety of colors but I mostly picked cool tones ones. I honestly can’t remember if I had picked a collection or individual shadows. Their names are: Bad Luck – Lavender color with a blueish-greenish-pinkish reflex Black Cat- plum/navy with purple reflex 13- Light, Soft Pink with silvery-white reflex Step on a Crack – Green with a gold reflex Incubus – Navy Blue with a lighter blue reflex and maybe a hint of something else I think the color that I like most applied on my arm was Bad Luck but for whatever reason I haven’t gotten it to apply very pigmented yet. All of the other colors apply wonderfully especially the darker colors. The sample sizes run at…
So today I thought I would start something new, I have a tendency to window shop online (and in stores, lets be honest) So here are 8 Things I’ve been pining over this past month (and in some cases even longer then that!)

So I did my first Make-up Tutorial. Lighting wasn’t so hot and my skin has been an utter mess (I don’t much like wearing heavy foundation). But It’s a pretty simple, basic “No Makeup” look apart from the lips. I mention most of the products as I go but I’ll have a picture of them all as well. This is my first attempt at a video Makeup tutorial so any pointers, tips or tricks are welcomed! I tried to keep it short but apparently I talk A LOT lol.
Okay, so I’ve posted about this one time before however I will still let those who don’t know in. The Soap Box is a subscription service by FortuneCookieSoap.com (Which if you haven’t their products you should!) It is somewhat similar to a birchbox but in this case all of the products you receive are FCS products and are bath and body (usually). The box is $19.99 and the Spring Box sold out in less then 15 minutes because they only had 99 subscriptions. This time around they were offering 500 on top of those that have subscribed already so assuming no one backed out you could say they sent out around 600 (minus the subscriptions that are left) and YES that means there ARE subscriptions left, and you absolutely have a chance to get one! (48 left atm) Don’t let the price fool you though because in every box you also get…
**PICTURE HEAVY POST** So I’ve probably had this stuff for about a month, using it constantly. I can give a few mini reviews. If anyone wants a more in depth review on something please let me know. I purchased a few things however almost everything was from their Sale section. I really wanted to try as many things as possible on as little as possible. The only thing that was regularly priced was the eye shadow primer since I have been running out of mine from Coastal Scents I figured I would try this one. Even though its like $10 more expensive *dies* I wanted to see what the hype was. At the time I purchased they had the 3 samples if the price is over a certain amount so I got the cheek tint in quickie, mascara and All Nighter spray. I purchased the eye shadow primer in Eden. The…
Mostly I used Urban Decay products. I wore this on a day out with my friend, The shirt I had on had a bird on it which was the reason I did the extreme wing 🙂 You don’t have to go quite as crazy as I did, but I like to try new things!

Well firstly, this review is for people with Dry skin or who may get Dry skin in the colder months as this product can be too much for any other skin types. This is one of my very first purchases from The Body Shop, and the reason why I keep going back. A little back story, for years I suffered from overly dry flaky skin, most noticeably on my face. I always hated facial moisturizers because I would have to put them on a number of times for it even to moisturize my skin. With this product I only have to apply it once (usually right after my shower) soaks right into my skin leaving it feeling baby soft. I have been using this product since late January early February and just last week went and repurchased (even though i’m STILL not finished the last container, but just about) I am totally a believer…
So after my extremely nerve wrecking interview (They seemed to really like me, brownie points I made them laugh.) I had to head over on the subway, to the sports complex for a concert that my family was going to. Here’s some photos: & some music: We had a pretty good time, Jaclyn was loving it even though she was falling asleep. Here the whole line up: The Wanted (I showed up after them) Hot Chelle Rae Austen Mahone (I really hope my sister doesn’t start liking him, dislike) Carly Rae Jempsen (dear god this girl has a voice) Cody Simpson Adam Lambert Chris Rene Enrique Iglesias Chiddy Bang Train Flo Rida (He’s ALWAYS at Q102 events) Calvin Harris (The bold ones are in the photos above) I don’t think my sister quite grasps how lucky she is yet at her age but I’m sure eventually she will. She LOVES…
So lets call this try two with the holographic nail polish by HITS called Artemis. First off, still totally obsessed. (I used this last time over 3 weeks ago, my posts are a tad bit out of order.) Can’t wait to get a few colored holos. Old trend, new trend, I so don’t care this is like a party on my nails. The pearly pink is Sally Hansen’s Insta-dri in Mauve It which I purchased last year. Topped with Milani’s nail treatment top coat. The downside to today’s nails, I was hoping to have my nail stuff from ebay already. so unfortunately, no nail art. 🙁 But Nail art and stamping coming soon AND we get to see this lovely happiness on my nails since yet again, today is a dreary foggy day here these nails lift my spirits even if they look pastel! I have my scholarship interview today, totally super…
