Kiss Nail Dress

I received this product in my Love VoxBox from Influenster this past month. It included multiple products that I love, especially these Kiss Nail Stickers. They are so convenient and easy to use! Mine were the pink and white design with jewels on them. They last about a week to 10 days and can be bought at the drugstore. They're worth the investment if you want a manicure that'll stay put for a while! :)

EOS Lip Balm Collection

Some of my favorite lip balms/moisturizers are the EOS [Evolution of Smooth] ball lip balms. Maybe it's the cool, cute packaging, or the variety of scents and colors but overall they are good lip balms. My favorite is the pink one in Strawberry Sorbet. It smells amazing and moisturizers really well. Names in pics: Orange-medicated tangerine, Lavender-Passion fruit, Pink-Strawberry Sorbet, Yellow- Lemon, Minty green- Mint, Light green-honeydew, Brighter pink- Summerfruit. The green circular container in the middle of the EOS lip balm circle is one of the lotions that EOS provides, in Original. These are a great deal whether you're looking for decorational/collectible make-up pieces, or a good, cool lip balm. They range from $3-4 at various drugstores/chain stores [i.e. CVS, Walgreens, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.] EOS also carries shaving creams and lotions which I have yet to try!

Black painted toe nails-pretty or ugly?

Polishing toe nails black has been a weird trend throughout the summer months. I've noticed more and more people with black painted toe nails this past summer than before and I realized I really, really hate the look of it lol. I think it just looks dirty and nasty. I like bright colors on my toe nails, even in the winter. I could never paint my toe nails black, ew. :P Do you like black painted toe nails? :-&

Review: New Softlips Lip Gloss

I received this lip gloss in the mail from Seventeen magazine after entering one of those contests that the first 500 people who enter win. I NEVER win anything from those, even if I buy the magazine on the first day it comes out so I was pretty shocked when I got this lol. I know Softlips chapsticks are really popular and I have an ELF one that is almost identical to the soft lips one but this is one of their new products: a lip gloss. I thought it would be pretty good because of how much people love the chapsticks but I was kinda disappointed with it. The color is nice but it takes forever to blend and it's pretty drying. I'm glad I didn't pay for this item because I would've been really disappointed lol. I'd give it *** 3 out of 5 stars because it is nice but it's not as smooth as I thought and the color pay off isn't all that great. Have you tried this product? Do you like it? :)

October 2010 Favorites

October is my favorite month :) I love Halloween and fall weather and colors. Here are some of my favorites of the month: *Allure magazine: I lovvvvvve magazines and lately Allure has become one of my favorites. I love the part about "Lusts and Musts" which show clothing items that are high end [lust] and similar looking items that are cheaper [musts]. *Lauren Conrad "Style" book: I am a huge fan of Lauren Conrad BECAUSE of her style. I think she is so sweet and her clothes are alwaysssssss on point. I love love love her style so when I heard that she was coming out with a style book, I knew I had to buy it :) *Revlon's lipstick in "Blush": this is my favorite pinkish nude lipstick ever. I love Revlon's Soft Nude and this lipstick is nude too but with a hint of pink :) it's like a mauve-y pinkish nude color :) similar to MAC's Viva Glam V [5]. EOS lip balm in "Honeysuckle Honeydew": I have the pink lip balm in "summer fruit" but this one is my favorite out of the two. It's so smooth and leaves my lips moisturized for a long time. It also smells reallyyyyyyyy good. :) Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse liquid foundation: I've heard great things about this foundation and I wanted to try it so I finally bought it. It gives nice coverage and applies nicely. The pump is great too and gives the right amount of product. Cheetah [leopard?] print headband and slippers: My favorite print/thing of the month is anything with this print! I absolutely lovvvvvvvvvve this print! It looks great with anything. I love my headband [from Claires. Around $2-3] and slippers [from Target. Bought them on sale for $5, originally $10]. :) What's your favorite product of the month? Did you dress up for Halloween? :) I was Minnie Mouse lol. What's your favorite print/trend of the moment? =]

Review: Benefit Boi-ing & Eye Bright Duo

Benefit recently came out with this concealer/highlight duo exclusively for Ulta. It is $12.00 and available with the little travel size/mini/"to go" items by the register. I don't really like the packaging especially how the label is a sticker. And the cap twists off. Boi-ing concealer in shade "2": this concealer reminded me of the Some-kind-a-gorgeous foundation because of the consistency. It's super creamy but seems to dry to a powder-y looked finish. It gives okay coverage and goes on lighter than it looks. **** 4 out of 5 stars Eye-bright highlight: I was kinda if-y about this highlight especially in this duo because it usually comes in a pencil-form and this is in a container. It's kinda drying and not as creamy as the concealer. It does give a nice glow though. I like it on the inner-tear duct or under the eyebrow. *** 3 out of 5 stars Have you tried this duo? or the products separately? :)

Halloween Spider Webs Nail Design

So for Halloween I knew I wanted to do a nail design that was Halloween-themed. I did these spider designs last year and got many compliments on them so I decided to do them again this year. I simply put on a black nail polish (by Milani) and using an art deco nail polish in White, I made an "X" in the middle of my nail, then a + sign and connected them with a rounded curve. To add a little more to the Halloween theme, I added a glow in the dark nail polish by Nite Lites in "Green" which I bought for about $2-3 at Ulta. :) Did you do any Halloween nail designs? Are you dressing up for Halloween? :)
