Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Scarab Swatches + Review!

When I posted the bottle shots of the 6 Sally Hansen Lustre Shine polishes, I got asked which one is my favorite & then posted about my #1 Lava. I think it is above Scarab for only the pure reason that I have nothing like it. A pink/orange shift? Nope. However Scarab…is beautiful. & I’ll […]

Birchbox September 2012 featuring Dr. Jart, Color Club, & More!

I look forward to my Birchbox every month like crazy. I’ve had Birchbox for well over a year, they’ve always had standout customer service, & they continuously introduce me to new brands & products. This month I was kind of half & half: it isn’t a bad box but it also didn’t blow me away. […]

Nail Challenge Day #13: Cheetah Print Nails with Firefly Lustre Shine

So I actually had plans to do something completely different…but it didn’t work out 🙁 My backup plan was this manicure which I believe is cheetah print (because the spots are only one color? right?) I love this, like, a lot.This is a black base with Sally Hansen Lustre Shine coat over it which applied […]

Mary Kay Fall 2012 Reviews + Swatches! & a GIVEAWAY!

Fall 2012: Bronzed Cranberry Eyeshadow Using BH Cosmetics Tropical Shimmer Palette

I did this look for the last day of summer. Ironically, it uses my most used shade for summer (bronze) & my most anticipated shade for Fall (cranberry) in one look.I’ll admit, the shade I used in the Tropical Shimmer Palette looked plum, but after swatched it gives off the best cranberry sheen. I don’t […]

Nail Challenge Day #12: Striped Accent with Orly Monster Mash

Why yes, yes I did cheat. I applied Monster Mash from the Orly Spellbound Collection yesterday…& I didn’t want to take it off. Did. Not. Want. This is the first of the collection I wore & I totally wasted it on a windy picnic. Boo. I wasn’t willing to remove it so instead I added […]
