FYI: Originally, I was planning doing these as one large post….but then it would be a REALLY large post, so now I’ve broken it down into 2 separate posts!

Ok so if you watched my June Favorites video, then you saw this was in my favorites and I was looking a few shades darker! If you missed it, go HERE tanner, self tanner, self-tanner, . Beautisol was kind enough to send me this face tanner, and I am in love! I normally have a ton of problems finding a good face tanner because of where I live, sensitive/oily skin, and the fact that I’m so incredibly light naturally because I’m an SPF lover. This has changed all of that!

So here is a card that came with it, I just wanted to make sure you guys saw you would get all the details about BOTH face tanner options.
Obviously you can’t read it, but here’s the low-down:

Need I Glow More?™ is the first ever skin-type-specific face self-tanning lotion. Our Normal-Dry-Sensitive formulation is for those with dry or sensitive skin.

What’s included:
•1.5 fl. oz. Face Self-Tanning Lotion For Normal-Dry-Sensitive Skin Types •FREE Application Guide

What it does:
•Moisturizes, hydrates, and revives the skin
•Delivers a natural-looking, golden-brown tan within hours
•Provides instant color so you look bronzed and picture-perfect immediately, all while your long-lasting tan processes underneath

Features & benefits:
•Created specifically for normal to dry or sensitive skin types
•Infused with soothing ingredients to hydrate the skin
•Formulated with ChroNOline (Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3), an anti-aging peptide, to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
•Lightweight formula prevents the skin from feeling heavy or greasy

•Guide color allows you to see exactly where you have applied the product and where you may have missed, reducing streaking and application mishaps
•Paraben-free, propylene gycol-free, sodium laurel/laureth sulfate-free, and cruelty-free (PETA certified)

They also have a dry/sensitive skin version which I think is awesome. I’ve never had a specific choice of face tanners before, its genius! Another amazing thing about this product? Absolutely no weird self-tanner smell! AT ALL!!!! It actually reminds me of a lightly scented lotion!

Here’s the coloring of the product inside the tube:

I love that its dark so you instantly see results AND you can see how well you have rubbed it in to make sure it is all even. They even include a pair of gloves which I really appreciate because normally I go out an buy my own.

Also included is this extremely helpful how-to card for the face tanner. This will be AMAZING for first-time users and frequent users! These steps are essential so its great they are included! There is also information or picture on the back of each of these cards. On the back of the Face Self-Tanner Guide card, you learn how to prep and maintain your tan! I’ve never gotten a product with so much information or advice!

My Results: This product delivered in every way, even some I wasn’t sure about. I never thought I’d find a tanner that smelled GOOD! I will never have to smell that self-tanner scent again, its a dead giveaway! This color didn’t turn me orange and I immediately saw color which I loved. It lasted longer than I thought it would as well as I only applied it once. I applied it to my face once so I could test both the last power and if it faded evenly. It faded very naturally which is a must-have in a face tanner for me. I have been using and the color is also very buildable. In the end, this product works great and I know I will be buying more!

Morning guys! So I’ve had this product from ELF for awhile now, but I bought it in a huge haul so it didn’t get the attention it deserves. Now, it will!

What ELF says about this product:
Description: Convert your shadows into brand new shades with these four opalescent shadows. Wear alone, under, over or in combination with your other makeup. The opal tones transform your dark color into a new shimmering hue.

How to:

• Wear alone or in combination with your favorite eyeshadow or liner color to transform the shade.
• Simply blend in with other color to create your unique hue.

Direct swatches. From Top to Bottom: green, yellow/golden, pink, and blue.

Overall,  think this is a really need idea for a product. Its a little bit chalky at first, but they blend out. I have tried them over both eyeshadow and eyeliner, and I think its a really need effect. Gives your shade more dimension! I used it over gel liner and it really stuck and stayed put. I would really like to see this product in jewel tones, I would die for a sapphire blue or deep emerald green!

So here I put the three shades over a bronzy-brown Almay shade so you could see the difference! 

Top shade is the original eyeshadow on its own. Next are the Eye Transformer colors in order from green, yellow/gold, pink, then blue.

So I bought this off Cherry Culture awhile back, but wanted to use it a bit more before review. I actually rather like it! I am not affiliated with them, so the above link is to the exact product I purchased. If you’re into shimmers, this is a really cool design! All of these photos are WITHOUT primer, so they get even better with it! I have also used these with a wet brush with some pretty impressive results. The colors are in order from outer circle to mid and then finally the 4 center colors. Enjoy!

So here is my quickie water marbling! I mostly was just testing these colors for future marbling. Stay tuned for more!

FYI: I use the tape method to get rid of some of the mess pre-marbling 🙂

Left to Right: Sinful Colors in Pink Forever, NYC in Times Square Tangerine Creme, Icing Nail Polish from Claire’s in Butta.

So what do you guys think? Any color combos you’d like to see? Any of you use this method?

You didn’t think I could pass up a holiday did you? Oh no, I’m a military wife! I’ve got to show some red, white, and blue! I figured I would try something different from everyone else though, a little more artsy.

I know we’re checking out fireworks tomorrow, how about you guys? I’m currently battling youtube for my June Favorites Video so stay tuned for that!

Hey guys! I’m TRYING to get a video uploaded for my June Favorites, but not sure if its going to be up today due to technical difficulties. So angry. ANYWAYS so here is my look for today:

Left to Right: Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick in Iconic Iris, Wet n Wild Trio in Cool as a Cucumber, ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine in Pink Kiss.

Revlon Scented Nail Polish in Beach.

Okay, not sure how much I am loving this trio, but maybe its because I’m not loving it as a summer look. I wish there was a color in here that was brighter. I’m sure I’ll be liking it a lot in fall. Also not sue about Beach. I like the color because its fun for summer, but this is 3 coats and its still not opaque which is frustrating. I didn’t do a clean up because I’m taking it off to experiment with some new nail goodies! Plus I’m doing a cuticle treatment.

So I haven’t used this palette in awhile and I went ahead and pulled it out. This isn’t my favorite one, but I like it quite well. My favorite is the one for green eyes! Lovely! Anyways, here’s the look I went with today using the middle three colors.

I’ve really enjoyed these palettes, how about you guys?

I am IMPRESSED! Yesterday I finally picked up some Del Sol Color Changing Nail Polish from Walgreens. With a deal of 3 for $10 I caved. I had to see if they worked. Lucky for me, THEY DID! This isn’t like other color changers where you can do the cool water trick, they need SUN. & they change FAST!!! See below!

So here is my first bottle I tried, in Ruby Slippers. Each bottle has what color it will change to on the top, but the flower is also the same color it will change as well. Very nice micro-glitter, it doesn’t snag or anything. I didn’t even need a top coat.

Step 1- The color it is regularly, a very pretty silver.

Within seconds of it hitting sunlight.

Mid-change.

Final bright pink-red.

 I have 2 more to come! Loving it! Do you guys have any like this? Do they work this well?
