May Favorites

Hiya Everyone! I'm here today with my May Favorites. It seems like May has gone so fast but I always say that. Ok the first two things in my May Favorites are the Organix Pomegranate and Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner. I love this shampoo and conditioner so much! My hair was so damaged and dry before I started using this and I have to say that this has helped so so so much.
Next is my Vaseline repairing moisture lotion. This month I got three tattoos and I have been using this lotion on all of my tattoos all month. I usually have really dry skin and this hydrates my skin and leaves it feeling smooth. This is unscented but I think that you can get it scented as well.
I have one lip product favorite this month and it's the Milani lip flash in the shade Flashlight. It's a bright red color with silver chunky glitter in it. I also have two nail polish Favorites. The first one is China Glaze's Pool Party and this is the best and brightest neon pink that I have found and I have been wearing it almost everyday since I got it. The other polish is my Orly Sec N' Dry topcoat, this topcoat works so well and prevents my nails from chipping longer than the OPI Start to Finish!
Last but not least is my Basq Cucumber Tea Eye Gel. I received this from Basq to test and review, that review will be up either later tonight or tomorrow. I had never used an eye gel or an eye cream before so I was super excited to try this and I have only been using it a week and a half an it is already in my Favorites. I use this every night before I go to bed, it's cooling and helps prevent puffiness.
I hope you enjoyed my monthly Favorites, Thanks for reading!

Neon Rainbow Nails

Hiya Everyone! I tried today to do neon rainbow nails, this was my first time trying it out so keep that in mind when you look at the picture. First I used m fantasea nail hardener base coat followed by two coats of Orly's Softest White Polish to make the neon colors pop. I used these colors in this order with a paintbrush, the colors are China Glaze's Pool Party, Jessica Cosmetics Blue Blast and Yellow Flame, Sinful Colors Dream On, Jessica Cosmetics Orange Zest and topped it all off with a coat of Orly's Sec N' Dry. I hope you like them, thanks for reading!

Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Cushions Review

Hiya Everyone! I am back again today to tell you about the Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot Cushions! I recieved these in my Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox complimentary to test and review. That does not affect my opinion in any way. I recieved these and put the in my Steve Madden Madden Girl Heels that I purchased in Chicago. I wore the inserts in the heels to an event that I went to and the inserts made them so much more comfortable than I ever thought they would. to the touch they are so squishy and soft but in your shoes they are all that and then some, theres no other way to put it other than these are amazing. They are one size fits all and help prevent the "toe scrunch" in your heels. I will be purchasing these again in the future. You can purchase these at all major retailers for around 5.99. I will link Influenster below of anyone would like to check it out or sign up, it is 100% free. Thanks for reading!

Here is the link to a coupon for 2.00 off of the Dr. Scholl's for Her Ball of Foot Inserts!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Hiya Everyone, I'm back again, this time to tell everybody about the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. I recieved this set complimentary to test and review from Influenster but that does not affect my review on them whatsoever. I recieved mine in the design called Laced Up, its a nude color nail with black lace design. I used these for a special event I went to and I got so many compliments on my nails. These normally retail for 9.99 which is a bit pricey and they stay on about 10 days, another set I had stayed on for 3 WEEKS! These are amazing quality. When you buy them they come with teh nail strips, a cuticle stick, and a mini file and buffer. They are super easy to apply and quick. One tip I do have is make sure your nails are clean and dry before applying the strips and it helps to file down the surface of your nail a bit as well. I can't wait to try other types of the Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effect Nail Polish Strips, theres a butterfly design that I can't seem to find in any store I go to. These are wold online and at retail stores like Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS. I will link Influenster if you'd like to sign up. Thanks for reading!

Citrus Neon Nails

Hiya Everybody! Here are my nails today! Citrus Inspired! I started with one coat of the fantasea nail hardener base coat. Followed by two coats of Jessica Cosmetics Orange Zest on every finger but my ring fingers and on my ring fingers I put two coats of Jessica Cosmetics Yellow Flame. I topped it all off with Orly's Sec N' Dry. Thanks for reading I hope you like them!

Sheer Cover Review

Hiya Everyone! I'm back! I have been trying to find the perfect concealer for the longest time to no avail. I recieved this concealer I am going to tell you about complimentary in the Influenster VoxBox. This does not affect my opinion in any way, I promise. I got a concealer duo in the shade Medium/Tan. I seem to have an odd skintone so when I mix these two shades together I get the perfect concealer for me. This concealer is super creamy and pigmented, I love it so much. It works great with a brush or your fingers. I prefer to use a brush but I did use my fingers in a pinch. This has a plastic like smell in the packaging but when its applied to your face it has no smell at all. This is sold in one month supply kids of six products for 29.99 so I believe you cannot buy this product alone but as I said I recieved it complimentary in the Influenster VoxBox. I have swatched the concealer shades below the one on the left is medium and the one on the right is tan. I will link sheer cover's website below if your interested in checking out their products and I will also link Influenster if you'd like to sign up. Thanks for reading!

I started with the fantasea nail hardener base coat followed by two coats of China Glaze's Pool Party and topped it off with Orly's Won't Chip polymer Shield topcoat. I just got this topcoat yesterday and it reminds me alot of seche vite, it has the same consistency and everything, not quite sure how I like it yet but I will let everyone know!

My First BeautyBox Five

Hiya Everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and a great start to spring and summer. I recieved my first subscription box today and it was the Beautybox Five, I will be linking thier site below. As I said its a beauty sample subscription service and it costs 12.00 a month. As this is my first subscription box I cannot compare it to any other subscriptions and their pricing but in my mind for what I recieved in the box 12.00 is a fair price. Ok lets get to the BeautyBox and what was inside...

First off this box is a beautiful Tiffany blue color and when I seen it in my mail box I was instantly excited. I literally ran inside and ripped it open. The first thing I found was that all the samples in the beautybox were wrapped in this little organza bag and tied shut, I did have some difficulty untieing this as I am packaging challenged. But, after I got the small bag opened the first thing I pulled out was a Mini Tree Hut Shea Body Butter in the scent Hawaiian Kukui. This stuff smells to die for, it smells like something hawaiian should smell!  Not too fruity but also not too floraly with a hint of sunscreen. I can't wait to tell my readers how this works on my skin.

The next thing or two things I should say that I pulled out of the box were the two samples of two different It's A 10 products. I got a sample of the miracle styling serum and the miracle hair mask. I am excited to try the styling serum and I literally just took a shower before coming on here to write this post and I used the miracle hair mask. I think I like it but to really say I would have to go out and buy the full size. I really am thinking about purchasing it because it made my hair super soft. I normally am not a fan of the little packets that these samples come in, their flimsy and plastic and its hard to get all of the product out but since I am so excited about these I gave them a try. Most of the time small samples like this just lay on my bathroom counter and collect dust until my mother uses them or gives them away. But, these I promise I will use.

Next was the Evie Evan Mini Purity Mask, I am so excited to try this. I love masks and I use one on my face every two weeks. This smells like mint and lemon, the smell is heavenly. This is a gray color which kinda put me off at first but the smell made up for it. There is so much product in this little jar its insane, there is most likley enough product in there to let me do 4 to 5 face masks! I can't wait to try this out and tell all of you about it!

Next was the Merlot samples, I recieved 3 samples of Merlot's grape seed Night Cream. I really don't use night cream and once again its in those little flimsy plastic little things that I hate. Since I don't really use night cream I am giving these to my mom to try out and see how she likes them.

Last thing in my BeautyBox was the Comodynes Tanning Towel. This worries me a little, not even joking. The package says it gives a natural looking tan but it also gives me the impression that I will turn the color of the packaging which is a goldish orange oompa loompa color. Tell me the truth people have you ever seen a natural looking oompa loompa? I may try this on a small section of skin that no one sees and see how it works, I am not big on tanning at all or being tan so I am not sure if I'll like it or not. It seems to be pretty much a moist towelette with tanning self bronzer on it...seems a little strange but that may just be me.

Overall I like the beautybox 5, is it worth the money? Yes I believe 12.00 is a reasonable price for a beautybox and I think the surprise of what your getting is the fun of it!  I am linking BeautyBox 5 below if you'd like to sign up or just check it out!

Ok Everyone theres one last thing! I took this picture of the flowers in my yard blooming as I was going to the mailbox and I thought I would share this with everyone! Thanks for reading!

Lavender Nails

Hiya Everyone! Here today with my daily nails! I used a nail hardener from fantasea cosmetics as my base coat. I followed that with two coats of Barry M Nail Paint in the shade Berry. Topped off with Orly's Sec N' Dry top coat! These nails were inspired by Bunny or Grav3yardgirl on YouTube. I will link her channel below! She's amazing and has influenced me to love lavender, it's now one of my favorite colors and today felt like a lavender kind of day for me. Thanks for reading!

>>>>>Check out Grav3yardgirl's Channel Here<<<<<

UPDATE!

I got bored and added black and white zigzags to my nails, I think it turned out ok, I like it.

Chapstick Lipshield 365

Hiya everyone! I have been using this product a few days now, I received it in my Influenster Vox Box for free to use and review. This does NOT affect my opinion whatsoever! But, I love this it smells just like birthday cake and candy. The smell is heavenly! This does have SPF 50 in it. This is great for winter or summer. As it's getting into summer right now it came in handy these past few days in the 90 degree weather. You can get this for 1.89 to 2.39 at drugstores and Walmart! I will link chapstick's website and influenster's below if you want to sign up an try out their program!

Influenster Spring Beauty Vox Box Unboxing

Hiya Everyone!!! I have been so excited latley waiting on my Influenster Spring Beauty Vox Box to come in the mail. Influenster is completely free and you fill out surveys and earn badges and if you are selected they send out boxes a few times a year for you to review and its all 100% FREE. So I did not buy any of the thing I am going to show, they were sent to me for review but I am so entirely excited about each and every one of them, now lets get into the vox box!

First thing I pulled out of this magnificent box was the little card that lists all the products and how much they cost, sort of like what Birchbox does in their boxes. The items in the box are so amazing! First item is the blueberry Soy Joy bar, I live off of these and I never have tried the blueberry so it will be great to try out. These usually cost from .99 to 1.29 each.

The Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effects, I have tried before but not this design/pattern, I got the lace ones and they are super cute and I have a special occasion coming up that these are perfect for. These usually cost 9.99 each.

The Sheer Cover Duo Concealer I got in medium tan but I am pretty sure now after seeing it that I should have gotten it in light medium, I usually wear medium tan but in this case I don't but I will try to make it work. Sheer Cover is sold in one month supply kits of 6 products for 29.95 so I don't think you can buy this by itself.

It came with a large sample size of the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash which is normally 6.99 to 8.99 for a full size bottle. I am excited to try this out because it says gentle enough for sensetive skin and I have super sensetive skin.

The ChapStick Lip Shield 365 is very exciting for me because I am a lip product junkie, everyone who knows me knows this. This has SPF 50 so this will be great for the summer and I am going on a weekend trip this weekend and I am definatley going to use this. This usually costs 1.89 to 2.39.

The Dr. Scholl's for her Ball of Foot inserts were a bonus item and were not listed on the card but I looked them up and they normally cost around 5.00 in the store. I have a special event coming up and I am going to put these in my heels and see how they do, I'll keep everyone updated on that.

Last but not least and certainly the most exciting thing in the box was the FULL SIZE Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist. I got mine in the scent Moonlight Path, this is my moms absolute favorite scent and I already have it so I will be giving this one to her. I will review the scent later on but let me just say its sprayable heaven.

I hope you all enjoyed my little Influenster Spring Beauty Vox Box Unboxing! Thanks for reading!

Simple Facial Wash Gel

Hiya Everbody! I'm going to tell you about the Simple Facial Wash Gel. I recived a sample of this in the mail about a month ago and I used it all and went to CVS and purchased the full size for 6.99.

This is a gel which I like better than the soapy foams. This contains no soap surisingly but is great!  This leaves my face feeling so refreshed and clean I love it, it says it contains vitamins which are good for you skin. I use this everyday on my face and I like it much better than some creamy cleansers that I have tried. If anyone knows any other good gel face washes please leave it in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

ELF Brightening Eye Quad

Hiya Everyone! I stopped by Walmart the other day and picked up another ELF Brightening Eye Quad, this one is called Nymph Dreams. I like these colors alot, they remind me of Egypt or Egyptian things for some reason they're pretty flippin amazing! The first color is a light shimmery gold, the second is a shimmery bronze brown, the third is a aqua blue color, the last one is a grayish brown color. All of the colors have shimmer. I swatched them below check them out. This quad is 1.00 at Walmart. Thanks for reading!

Daily Nails

Hiya Everybody! These are my first attempt ever at zebra nails and I kinda think I failed. I used OPI's Start to Finish as a base coat and followed with two coats of Essie's Fiji. Next I made my wacky zebra stripes with a purple nail striper from Stripe Rite then I used one coat of Jessica Cosmetics Starry Night and topped it all off with Orly's Sec N Dry. Please excuse the messy nails as I said I failed at this but I thought I'd share my experience! Thanks for reading!

NYM Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder

Hiya Everyone! I am here today to tell everyone real quickly about a product I picked up at Walmart last week for 4.74.  Its NYM's Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder. I tried this out the day I got it and have been using it almost everyday since. This stuff is flippin amazing! This makes my hair have so much more volume than it did before. I will definatley be repurchasing this.  This is a powder product so if your not into powder products this definatley isn't for you. I hope you enjoyed reading this, Thanks!

Hits Mari Moon Nail Polish and Daily Nails

Hiya Everyone! I am just here to say a little about the Hits Mari Moon nail polishes I picked up today and my daily nails! First of all I picked up the Hits Mari Moon Polishes in Chameleon and Artsy. Chameleon is the greenish chrome color that I have on my nails below. I have not used Artsy yet but so far my first impressions of this polish are horrible, don't get me wrong the colors are to die for but I hate the brush in the polish! It's just too wide for my tastes I guess. The packaging on these polishes is adorable. Ok now onto my daily nails! First I applied a base coat by Sinful Colors an then three coats of Chameleon by Hits, this polish is VERY sheer. Lastly I applied one coat of Orly's Sec N' Dry top coat! Hits Mari Moon in Chameleon kinda reminds me of the green goblin from Spiderman, I know OPI just released a spiderman collection and I have been meaning to check that out. I hope you enjoyed Thanks for reading!

ImPRESS Nails

Hiya Everyone! I am here today to tell you all about ImPRESS Nails. ImPRESS Nails are a press on manicure with glue already on them! There are little plastic tabs on each nail for you to peel off before you stick the nail onto your own nail. These are great for going out with friends, dates, meetings, any occassion where you want something extra on your nails or just everyday use! The package states they last up to a week, I don't think this is true because I wore mine and after about 3 days they started falling off. One good thing about this product though is they include extra sizes of the nails incase a nail falling off does happen and you can just replace it! I paid 7.99 for these at CVS but I know they carry them at Walmart, Walgreens, and Rite Aid as well. There are many different designs and colors. The design pictured below is called Working Girl. I purchased several sets of these because I just love the designs and how they feel on my nails. They're not too long but they're also not too short. I can still do things in these just like I do when I am not wearing press on nails. I still text, I still clean, I still type, I can do everything I can with them that I do without them! Thanks for reading!

Big Collective HAUL

Hiya Everyone! well this is my BIG collective HAUL that I have been saying I was going to do. This is over a matter of 3-4 days of shopping. There are a few things that were sent to me for free that I will point out as I go along but mostly everything I purchased with my own money.
Enjoy the Haulage!

WOW! I hadn't realized how much I had bought before I put it all together...I may have a shopping problem. I will just go down and sort of list the things in the picture and say something about them!

 First things first, the blue shirt at the top! I purchased this shirt at Maurice's, it has black lace around the neckline and down the middle of the shirt and it sort of bunches together as he goes down. I just thought this was so adorable and on sale. Original price on the shirt was 21.98 and I got it for 14.36 which I thought was a great deal.

Two pairs of shoes, one pair of flip flops and one pair of gladiator sandals. I got both of these at Walmart, the white flip flops were 2.98 and I wanted a pair but I only need them for one day so I thought the cheap pair would work out fine.  The gladiators were just too cute to leave at Walmart, I paid 10.00 for them which I thought was very reasonable, they also had them in black and brown.

I stopped by bath and body works and picked up the three spring scents travel sized lotions that I talked about in my previous post, a charmed life body mist, and 2 Slatkin and Co. Mini Candles and holders. The 3 travel size lotions were .99 cents a piece, the charmed life body mist was originally 12.50 but I got it for 1.75 on sale, and the Slatkin and Co. mini candles were originally 3.50 each but I got them for 1.25 each with 2 free candle holders!

I recieved a Target Beauty Bag in the mail for free, its a little cosmetic bag full of beauty samples that you sign up for on facebook, they only have so many so you have to be fast. I was lucky enough to get one and inside the little bad was a sample of Magic Lumi Illuminator, Simple Skin Care Makeup Wipes, Nivea Lotion, and a Neutrogena cleanser. When I use these products I will be sure to let everyone know how they are.

I stopped by a discount store in my town and picked up a few more things. I picked up a 4 pack of Soft Soap Coconut Scrub Bar Soap because it is my absolute favorite and I paid 2.00 for it. I picked up the Organix shampoo and conditioner in the scent Pomegranate Green Tea, I paid 2.50 each for them which I thought was a steal. I picked up the got2b Guardian Angel flat Iron protectant because I had heard some good things about it, I paid 1.00 for it which is great. I was so surprised they had it so I snatched it up.  The last thing I picked up there was the Orly Sec N' Dry Top Coat and I paid 1.99 for it.

I also stopped at my local Dollar Tree and picked up three things for 1.00 each. I picked up the 12 Color Profusion Eyeshadow Palette. I have since took it out of the packaging but they are all very pearly/shimmery colors. I picked up the L.A. Colors Eyeshadow Trio in Southern Belle. It has a bright purple color, a bright blue, and a very pretty teal. The last thing I picked up there was the L.A. Colors Bronzer in the shade Bronze Glow. I think this bronzer will suit my skintone so I will let everyone know how that goes!

While I was at Walmart getting my two pair of shoes I picked up the E.L.F. Contouring Blush and Bronzer in the shade Blushed and Bronzed for 3.00 because I had heard it is a dupe for Nars Orgasm and Laguna Duo.

Last thing I recieved I got in the mail for free by using an amazon gift card that I earned for FREE off of swagbucks.com. I will put a link below on how you can earn your own amazon gift cards, all you do is sign up and start earning swagbucks! It takes me about a week to earn a 5.00 amazon giftcard but I am not online 100% of my time. But, I earned a couple and placed a few orders on amazon and got the NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk because I surprisingly have never had it before and I thought I'd try it out.

>>>>>SIGN UP AND EARN SWAGBUCKS HERE<<<<<

I then stopped by Rue 21 and picked up a few jewelry items on sale!

I have really been into bracelets latley and the whole arm candy thing. The first bracelet I picked up I got for .50 cents and it is the orange disco ball like bracelet which is so shiny I love it. The next one was the large white beaded bracelet which I got for 1.25. The last set of bracelets are the rhinestone ones which I picked up all of tehm for 2.00. The heart ring i picked up for 1.00 and its so big and is a stretchy ring so I can wear it on any finger!

Thanks for reading about my hauling I hope you enjoyed it!

New Bath and Body Works Spring Scents

Hiya Everybody! I have been doing some shopping in the past couple of days and I also got three new tattoos so look out for a haul in the next couple of days, but I was so excited when I heard that the new Bath and Body Works Spring and Summer scents were out so I went and stopped in today and picked up all three in the travel sizes to try them all out. I have so many bath and body works products now that I have not finished up I thought it would be a waste of money to buy the full sizes and bath and body works had a sale on the travel sizes for .99 cents a piece.

From Left to Right the new scents are: Wild Apple Daffodil, Wild Berry Tulips, and Wild Citrus Sunflower.

I will try and describe the scents to everyone but I am horrible at describing scents but as I said I'll try.

Wild Apple Daffodil has to be my favorite of the spring scents. Its the first one I picked up and smelled and I fell in love instantly. This has a floraly scent from the daffodil in it but its also got a distinctive apple scent which is why I think I like it so much. Its girly and floraly and fruity all at the same time. In my opinion the perfect spring scent!

Wild Berry Tulips is a very berry smelling lotion. When I picked this one up I was expecting floral  mixed with berries but its not that at all. What I smell when I smell this is straight up berries, no tulip/floral scent at all. I love fruity scents but I am not really a fan of this scent, I will use it until its gone as its only a travel size but I will not repurchase this one.

Wild Citrus Sunflower smells so much like sunflowers with just a perfect hint of citrus, this is an amazing scent. I had never seen a sunflower scented lotion and I knew when I read the name that I had to try it. If anyone knows of anything other good sunflower lotions please leave it in the comments below because I love the smell. This scent is so different and something that has never been done before.

I hope you all enjoyed my little post trying to describe these amazing spring Bath and Body Works Scents. Thanks for Reading!

Daily Nails

Hiya Everyone! Here are my nails today...

I used OPI's Start to Finish Base and Top Coat and then two coats of Orly's Gumdrop and then OPI's Start to Finish Base and Top Coat to top it off. I really like this and I will be doing it alot this season!
