Nail Challenge 2012 Day #9: Rainbow Spun Sugar Mani!

Ever since I did my Yellow Challenge nails (they are black & yellow spun sugar!) I knew I would be trying rainbow spun sugar nails! I didn’t do a top coat on this one because it was a bit tougher to photograph. Plus you can see how ridge-y it is here 🙂I used 2 Sally […]

Hair: Karité Special Line from nuNAAT Review (5 products total!)

So I actually had a choice of which hair line I was most interested in trying. After much thought, I picked the Karité one. I’ve been using hot tools on my hair a lot lately (gearing up for tutorials, but I still need practice!) & I honestly just adore shea butter. Shea Butter smells so […]

Wet n Wild Saved by the Bell Nail Polish Collection + Dupes!

When I heard about this collection, I had to have it. Like immediately. So…its NEON, 99 CENTS, & Saved by the Bell? You bet I had to make it mine. I almost resorted to Ebay (true story) because it just wasn’t popping up anywhere. Then there it was, on the lowest shelf at my CVS […]

Nail Challenge 2012 Day #8: Metallic Gold & Silver Nails featuring CND!

Woohoo! It is now the 8th challenge & this one was metallics. I’ve picked up quite a few…supposed to be huge for fall! I thought I’d go with my 2 CND metallics, Gold Chrome & Silver Chrome. Each of these are rather unique & lean slightly in an nontraditional sense. I thought I’d do a […]

EOS Alice in Wonderland Trio Review + Secret Packaging!

So if you saw my post yesterday about the release of the Alice in Wonderland EOS trio, then you know I went on a mission. I HAD to have them. So I went on a mission! I got loads of hits on the post from yesterday so I know I wasn’t the only one! If […]

EOS Limited Edition Alice in Wonderland Lippies + Why Alice? from EOS

So when I saw this trio available, you know I had to have it. #1 I love eos balms & talk about them endlessly here on the blog. #2 Its Alice in Wonderland. No explanation needed! & #3 THEY INCLUDED WATERMELON! Just ask hubby, if I could have pretty much every lippie flavored/scented with watermelon […]

Nail Challenge 2012 Day #7: Black & White Newspaper Nails!

So when I thought of Black & White (the basis for this challenge) I immediately thought of newspaper nails. I have seen them all over the blogosphere but never physically tried them myself. I didn’t have regular newspaper so I actually used a CVS ad I had layer around that looks like it’s printed on […]

Its not like doing 3 challenges is completely insane…right? Meh, I’m still on track so whateves! Blue background: Skylar by Zoya Leaves: Spoiled […]

Glossybox USA August 2012 featuring Illamasqua, Ellis Faas, & More!

GLOSSYBOX totally blew me away this time! I think everyone has those brands that they just haven’t quite gotten to yet: the brands on your wishlist, the talked about brands, maybe a bit more expensive or hard to find. Illamasqua is one of mine that I just haven’t quite jumped into yet so I was […]
