Softlips Holiday Collection

Hiya Everyone!
 I received a surprise in my mailbox a few days ago from Softlips and I thought I'd share what I think about it with all of you. Softlips graciously sent me their whole holiday collection of lip balms. They are all amazing and I will name them and tell you all a little bit about them. I received 6 packs of Softlips with two lip balms each in them.

 

The first one I picked up was Jack Frosting, this was the flavor selected by the fans of Softlips on Facebook. This is my favorite by far and smells just like a cupcake! It also has SPF 20( they all do) which is a plus! My Second Favorite out of all of them is the Softlips Peppermint Stick which smells just like its name, like a peppermint stick. Amazing on the lips, as in Softlips fashion. The Peppermint Stick is paired with the best- selling Softlips Pearl Tint lip balm. Jack Frosting and Peppermint Stick are available now exclusively at Target stores in the cough and cold aisle for the holiday season!

 

The other 4 Packs of Softlips are called the Holiday Gift Tag Packs. These all have convenient "To and From" spaces if you would want to give them as gifts and again all have SPF 20!

Softlips Vanilla with BONUS Wintermint and Softlips Raspberry with BONUS Sugar Cookie are available at select Target stores in the holiday section. The Wintermint smells like a peppermint patty and the Sugar Cookie again is true to its name, it smells like a sugar cookie!

 

Softlips Vanilla with BONUS Sugar and Spice and Softlips Raspberry with BONUS Sugar Plum Berry are available at Walgreen and Wegmans throughout the holiday season. Sugar and Spice is sweet and smells a bit like cinnamon to me but I had some other people smell it and all they smell is sweet sugar! I love it though. Also Sugar Plum Berry is a very berry scent with a dash of the sugar smell, just amazing. I am not disappointed in the scents of these Softlips!

These would make great gifts for co workers or friends and would also make great stocking stuffers! They're under 5.00! How could you go wrong?!

Too Many Updates to Count

Well Hi Everyone!
       So much to Update everyone on so this may take awhile, go ahead and pop some pop corn and enjoy the ride. :) First off How is Everyone? Everything has been so crazy lately but all is good in my world. Went on a shoe buying Extravaganza which you'll hear more about later in this post, also deets on a new exciting movie, a movie I'm going to see, and an AMAZING phone case.
                       Lets start with the AMAZING Phone Case. I have an Iphone 4 and I love my phone to death but I'm always dropping it...oops. Well Wildflower phone cases are amazing. I have the cheetah/leopard iphone 4/4s case with a studded gold cross. I love it, it has a rubber bumper around the phone which protects it so much more and its so cute!

 

All Wildflower cases are custom and handmade in California. I can't express how much I love these phone cases! Super functional and super cute! Each Wildflower case retails for $35.00 each. They also have floral, skull, flag, and animal prints. Their site is linked below, check them out and spread the #wildflowerlove

Next thing on my mind that I am super excited about is that next weekend is the Breaking Dawn Part 2 release! I love the movies because one of my best friends is in them but also because theyre great books and amazing movies. I got my breaking dawn part 2 bracelet and I have been wearing it proudly since last week!

 

I love the bracelet, they also have team Edward and Team Jacob ones but everyone knows I'm Team Seth/Booboo so the plain on Breaking Dawn Bracelet is perfect for me! These are available so many places and range in price. Shoutout to all my friends camping in Tent City tomorrow at the Breaking Dawn Premiere! I will be at three different Breaking Dawn showings in three different states handing out cards and promoting Booboo's new movie, The Pineville Heist. Also check out the book the movie is based on, its by Author Lee Chambers and its awesome.

 

Now for the Shoe Buying Extravaganza! I went a little crazy and in a three day period I bought five pairs of shoes! Three Pairs of Steve Madden Shoes, a pair of Muk Luks, and a pair of shiny silver boots at Fashion Bug that I just couldn't leave...shinyyyy.

 

These are one of the pairs of Steve Madden shoes I purchased. I found a local store that was doing a half price sale and went a bit insane. I also found the muk luks for half price at the same store. I purchased these shoes, a darker brown version of these shoes as well, and a darker brown bootie version of these shoes with feathers and beads on them, very native american. I couldn't help myself, its that once you see something and fall in love with it you have to buy it sort of thing. More in depth shoe posts to come.

 

Last but not least is something I am really excited about, Fivel and Booboo's movie is coming out on January 22nd, 2013 on DVD from Lionsgate Films. I squealed when I heard about this because its going to be absolutley amazing! The cover art for the Dvd is pictured below and it is also available now for preorder on Amazon for 18.99. Fivel and Booboo are amazing at everything they do so this is sure not to disappoint! Behold Hansel and Gretel: Warriors of Witchcraft

 

So many more updates to come, I think I have my computer working for now but someone is coming next week to fix it permantley! Yay! Thanks for reading Everyone!

August Favorites

Hey Cuties! I know I'm over a week late on my August Favorites, YIKES, but I have been out of town. I haven't forgotten about you guys at all. There is a contest coming up in a few days, the winner of the Kisstixx contest has been notified. Thanks to everyone who entered. I'll give you a hint about the new contest...it's one of the hottest new trends!

Ok now onto my August Favorites! I only have a few this month but I have been trying out alot of new things and products so September's Favorites should be AMAZING! Ok now let's get started....

I have three nail polish Favorites this month. I have used all three of these together throughout the month of August and I just love them together. Starting with Revlon's Colorstay Base Coat, this makes my polish last so long and not chip. Next is Maybelline Color Show Polish in the shade "iced queen", it's a lavender purple color on your nails. I top that polish off with two coats of China Glaze's Luxe and Lush from the hunger games collection.

Moving on... my other Favorites this month are lip products..I picked two! The first one is Milani's Glitzy Glamour Gloss in the shade "red beauty." My last lip product favorite for this month is Smith's Rosebud Salve Minted lip Balm, I use this everyday non stop! I love it and it smells so amazing and it makes your lips all tingly!

Ok ok I know this is dragging on but I have two more Favorites! A fragrance and a hair accessory! My favorite scent of the month has been Victoria's Secret Pink Beach! This smells heavenly, it's the perfect mix of airy fruity and floraly smells! Last but not least and by far my favorite thing out of my Favorites this month is my Scunci No Slip Grip Hair Clips. I purchased two of these clips in a package from walmart for 2.74 at the beginning of August and I have been wearing them in my hair everyday since! I highly recommend them, they do grip your hair and don't fall out and they're so comfortable!

I hope you enjoyed reading my August Favorites! Keep a lookout for the newest contest from the My Little Sunflower Boutique!

Mustache Nails- NOTD

Hiya Everyone, happy Friday! I'm here with my Nail of the Day! This time I tried mustache nails! I attempted at least but I think for my first time doing mustache nails that they didn't turn out too horribly bad...I would have redone them but I ran out of black nail polish! I have to run to walmart today and get some more! I did these nails starting with my new Revlon Colorstay Base Coat, I love this base coat it goes on amazingly smooth and it's wonderful. I followed my base coat with two coats of Wet N' Wild's Megalast polish in the shade 2% Milk, it's a light nude Pinot which I love. The next things I used were my Sinful Colors polish in Black on Black, a dotting tool, and a small paint brush. After I did my design I topped it all off with a coat of Orly's Sec N' Dry Topcoat. If you'd like a tutorial for these nails please comment below and I will be sure to get that up for you guys! I hope you all enjoyed this and thanks for reading!

Kisstixx Lip Balms and a GIVEAWAY

Hiya Everyone! Lots been going on and I should have a music blog up for you sometime this week from the Middle of the Mitt Music Festival and my interview with George Lynch and Robbie Crane of Lynch Mob! On another note I am here to talk about the lip balms by Kisstixx.

Kisstixx sent me 4 different sets of lip balms to try out and tell everyone about! I tried the Raspberry and Lemonade out and the Fire and Ice, the other two sets of lip balms will be given away to one lucky reader, check the end of the post for more info about that!  Kisstixx are sets of lip balms, you get two lip balms in each set and they are two compatible flavors. They are designed for you to be able to give one to your "kissing" partner and use one yourself! These have SPF 15 in them so they are great for summer but also these smell and taste amazing! (Disclaimer: I DO NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO ACTUALLY EAT THEIR LIP BALMS, this is just the taste on your lips when you wear it) The raspberry and lemonade actually smell like raspberries and lemonade and taste like it as well when mixed. The fire and ice flavors smell great as well. Fire is very cinnammon and spicy and Ice is very sweet and smooth. These are great and leave my lips so soft and moisturized! I love Kisstixx and will be getting more of these in different flavors, I will link their site below where you can get them!

Most Worn Tag: Summer Edition

                     Hiya Everyone! I am here today to share this fun tag called the Most Worn Tag: Summer Edition! I tag everyone else to do it as well, this is so fun to think about and do and I hope you all enjoy it! These are my most used and most worn things from Summer 2012

1) Most worn nail polish
- My Most Worn Nail Polish is my Maybelline Colorshow in Iced Queen. Its this beautiful lavender purple. (Picture 1)
2) Most worn hair product- My Most Worn Hair Product is my NYM Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray. This smells so good! I think it smells just like summer should smell, beachy and coconut. This makes my hair smell good and it gives my hair a bit of subtle wave! (Picture 1)

3) Most worn bag- My Most Worn Bag is my beachy Boho bag, I got this at a thrift store and it is made of recycled t shirts. I have been using this everyday, all the time! (Picture 2)

4) Most worn shoes
- My most worn shoes would have to be my mocassins! I wear one of these pairs everyday, I am currently looking for a black pair because I have been so in love with mocassins latley! (Picture 1)
5) Most worn accessories- My Most Worn Accessories are two bracelets, one is my wooden religious bracelet. I don't just wear this bracelet because it is cute, I am catholic if anyone is wondering. My second bracelet is my leather handpainted A bracelet that one of my friends got me for my birthday this past month. I love it and wear it almost everyday and its really cool because it is handmade and one of a kind! (Picture 2)

6) Most worn clothing item
- My Most Worn Clothing item is my grey hoodie! I have this in a cardigan as well from the same brand and in the same material. I bought them at the same time because I love the feel of the material. Its sort of black and grey burnout material, its not too heavy but its not light and it does keep you warm if you need it, I think the hoodie and the cardigan might carry over to my Most Worn Fall Edititon! (Picture 2)
7) Most worn foundation
- My Most Worn Foundation for the summer is my E.L.F. Tinted Moisturizer, this has just enough coverage for me in the summer and is very light on my face. I use this everyday I wear makeup in the summer unless I am going to a concert or event where I need more coverage. (Picture 1)
8) Most worn blush and/or bronzer
- I really don't wear alot of blush so.... My Most Worn Bronzer is my Natural Dazzle Bronzer from Barry M! I love this bronzer, its shimmery but not too shimmery and it gives a very natural glow! (Picture 1)
9) Most worn lip product
- My Most Worn Lip Products are my Maybelline BABY LIPS! These make my lips so soft and so moisturizing. These are tinted lip balms and they give my lips a tiny flush of color! I have the clear ones in peppermint and quenched and I love those as well. (Picture 1)
10) Most worn mascara
- My Most Worn Mascara is my Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara! This was so simple to pick out for this tag, I use this everyday I wear makeup, I love this mascara. This lifts and makes my lashes look amazing! (Picture 1)
11) Most worn eyeshadow- Ok so I had trouble with this one because I switch up my makeup so much but I have seen myself going back to this Duo from NYC, its the Yankee Blues Duo. I love this, and it looks great on blue eyes in my opinion! (Picture 1)

Well Everyone, Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed my Most Worn Tag: Summer Edition as much as I did and as I said before, I tag EVERYONE to do this tag as well, I'd love to see your Most Worn and Most Used products for summer!

July Favorites

Hiya Everyone! Wow! July went by so fast for me, I had my birthday, I was sick, and I went to a concert and will be going to another one in a little over a week so watch out for an outfit of the day but here is my July Favorites, some are beauty and some are random but I hope you enjoy them!

My first favorite is Soap and Glory's The Righteous Butter. It smells so amazing and makes my skin so soft. I like to use it when I get out of the shower to make my skin moisturized. It works great! I have the travel size I got as a gift but I will be going to Target and buying the full size, I recommend this to anyone who is looking for an amazing body butter!
Next is my E.L.F. Cream Eyeliner in Teal Tease. I bought this specifically to wear to the concert I went to. For 3.00 this is a vibrant colored eyeliner. When you buy it, it does come with a small brush that works well to apply it to your eyes, I used it on my waterline and it didn't smudge out or get messed up.
My Bath and Body Works Body Lotion in Country Chic is my next favorite, I have the travel size here but I do have the full size and I love it, I love the smell and how to feels on my skin. I was lotion alot because my skin is so dry all of the time. I got this on sale at my Bath and Body Works outlet for 1.25.
Next is my Nivea lip balms! I have two Nivea lip balms the Nivea Kiss of Protection(pictured) and the Nivea Kiss of Smoothness, I love both of them. They don't have too much scent to them but they moisturize my lips very well and don't make my lips feel greasy and oily like some other lip balms do.

This month I have been loving everything MINT! Mint chocolate chip ice cream, Mint gum, mints, the color mint, anything and everything mint! I have some mint jeans that I love that you might see in an upcoming outfit of the day. The majority of the month I have been polishing my nails a mint color! MINT is my color of the month!

Next thing that I have been loving this month is MOCASSINS! I have two pairs of mocassins and I love them. The ones pictured are Issac Mizrahi from Target. I got these at a thrift store, brand new in the box for 3.00. My other pair are brown suede leather with a peace sign on them from Candies, I purchased those at Kohl's on clearance for 9.00. I love finding deals. Well, I have been wearing mocassins all month, I love them and they're so cute and comfortable, I think my love for mocassins may transition from summer to fall!

I have two more favorites, the first one is MUSTACHES! I know its really random but I love the mustache sort of trend. I have bracelets that I love to wear and its just random and awesome and amazing! My last favorite is INSTAGRAM! I love instagram, my instagram is mandaneil if anyone is interested in keeping up with all that I do. I also post insta-hauls and random awesomeness! I hope you all enjoyed my month favorites, Thanks for reading!

Our Do Something Entry Video- IndivisiblyInfinite

Hiya Cuties! Its Amanda again, here to share a video. I am in a Do Something group for a contest and we worked very hard on this video and are trying very hard to win! It would mean the world to me if anyone who can would watch this video and share it with your friends. So enjoy our coverage on fictional hurricane Mallak(the first letters of all of our names put together!) and emergency preparedness!

"Our team (IndivisiblyInfinite) teamed up to help our community and friends do something. This video is a representation of an interrupted television broadcast (tv show) because of a "BREAKING NEWS" report on Hurricane Mallak. (The hurricane was named using the first initials of each of our first names.) We worked very hard on this, so we hope you enjoy. :)

We all came up with this idea. We thought we could be creative, while still getting the message out.

Wanna "DO SOMETHING" big? Join the movement at http://dosomething.org ",

Thank you for reading and hopefully watching our video! Thanks in advance from everyone in the group! Hope we win but good luck to all competitors!

Current Favorite Read

Hiya Everyone! I hope everyone out in the world is doing great! Here to tell you today about my new current addicting read! Its the book The Sum of Random Chance by Lee Chambers!

This is an amazing book, I downloaded it into my iphone on my Kindle app this morning for free, it is only free for today for kindle users so I will link the book on amazon below but I downloaded it this morning and I flew through chapter after chapter, I am nearly finished with the book! This is a great book and I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I read Lee Chamber's first book The Pineville Heist when a friend of mine was cast as the lead in the film. I loved The Pineville Heist and when I was told this was available on amazon today for free, I snatched it up and immediatley started to read.

Normally for me to read it has to be on my kindle app on my phone, I love books but I am usually on the go and won't carry one around so my kindle app is also a few favorite of mine, I have went through TONS of books latley just reading them on my phone. Well Thanks for reading everyone! I urge you to read The Sum of Random Chance, you won't be disappointed!

>>>>Get THE SUM OF RANDOM CHANCE on Amazon<<<<

If you guys(my readers) like book posts and current read posts, don't hesitate to tell me and I will do more, I am trying to branch out and blog about other things besides beauty and fashion, look out for a concert post soon and Outfits of the Day!

NYC Matte Me Crazy Topcoat

Hiya Everyone! I picked up the NYC Matte Me Crazy topcoat when I was at walmart looking for the Essie topcoat. I picked up the NYC one for 1.72 and it works amazing. I am putting a picture of my nails using the matte topcoat below. The purple color on my nails is iced queen from maybelline colorshow. Thanks for reading!

Nail of the Day

Hiya everyone! My nails today are OPI's polish in the shade Windy City Pretty! I recently rediscovered this polish in my collection this morning when I was throwing out some old polishes! This is so pretty! I am not sure why I didn't wear it more but I will now! My base coat is my fantasea nail hardener base coat and my topcoat is Orly's Sec N Dry as usual! Thanks for reading!

June Favorites

Hiya Everyone!! I can't believe June has gone by so fast but I'm here to share my June Favorites with Everyone! I don't have many monthly favorites this month but heres the few I do have.

           My first favorite is my Love Peace and The Planet Eco Awesome Cranberry Orange Mint Moisturizing Shampoo by Tigi. I love this shampoo, it makes my hair feel so clean and the mint smell stays with me ALL day. The smell is to die for and this lathers up nicely in my hair. I highly recommend this if you have dry hair. I purchased the whole line from Tigi and this is by far my favorite product from the line.

Next is my Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara. I bought this mascara earlier this month and first of all I fell in love with the packaging and then I fell in love with the product inside. The mascara is a mousse/gel consistency and does not clump on my lashes. Its very lightweight and when I take my makeup off it is easy to remove and does not take my lashes with it like some other mascaras that I have tried.

I have 2 favorite Lip Products this month first I'll tell everyone about my Maybelline Baby Lips. I love these, they moisturize my lips so well and are tinted lip balms so they give a bit of color to my lips as well. I have them in the shades Grape Vine(purple), Peppermint (Clear), and Cherry Me(red). My favorite of the ones I have would have to be Cherry Me, it has a very strong cherry scent and tints my lips a light red shade. These are SO moisturizing and have SPF which is great for summer.

Last but not least are my Lipsense lip colors from Senegence. I have the Glossy Gloss, and Oops Remover and also the shades Pink Champagne and Beige Champagne. These are amazing lip colors that virtually never come off! You can eat, drink, swim, anything and these lip colors will NOT come off. These are great for all day wear! I wore Pink Champagne to a party and I only had to retouch my glossy gloss towards the end of the night! These are amazing! I will be linking a site below on where to get them. I have a feeling these will be making more appearances in future favorites!!

I hope you all enjoyed my June Favorites, feel free to link yours in the comment box below I'd love to see them! Thanks

Nail of the Day

Hiya Everyone!
Here with my nails of the day!!! I used my normal base coat nail hardener from fantasea and my normal ORLY Sec N Dry topcoat. The nail polishes colors that I used are On a Trip(purple) from Wet and Wild, Fierce N Tangy(yellow) from the Maybelline Colorshow nail polish line, and Four leaf Clover(greenish teal) from China Glaze! Thanks for reading! Enjoy

Mini Nail Polish Haul

Hiya Everybody! I stopped by my local Walmart today and picked up three new nail polishes! I am finally jumping on the wet and wild megalast nail polish band wagon, I picked up two polishes from that line. One in purple called on a trip and a blueish mint color called I need a Refresh-mint. The last one I picked up I didn't expect to get but as soon as I seen it I fell in love with the color. The polish is Maybelline's Color Show Nail Polish in the shade Fierce N Tangy, it is the yellow polish pictured below. I absolutely LOVE this color, it's kinda a bright banana yellow and surprisingly I didn't have a polish like that! Well that was my mini nail polish haul! I hope everyone enjoyed reading this post! Thanks so Much!

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara

Hiya Everyone! I am here to tell everyone today about one of my new favorite mascaras. It's Maybelline's Mega Plush Mascara in the teal blue tube with the pink writing. I love this stuff! If the packaging wasn't enough to sucker you in like it was me, this mascara is so lightweight and makes my lashes so fluffy and gives them a lot of volume. This is a mousse formula mascara and that's what makes your lashes feel so light and fluffy! The Maybelline Mega Plush mascara has a bendy wand on it and I am not quite sure of the purpose of the bendy wand because when I use it the wand doesn't bend at all but none the less it has a cool bendy wand. I got mine in the color black and it only took two good coats to coat all of my lashes and made them look so stunning and flawless. I hope you enjoyed reading this! thanks!

My Nail Polish Line

Yes! It's happening! I am making my own nail polish line! I have been making test colors for weeks now and I have picked three so far that have names,I am also taking color names and suggestions so if you have any ideas please leave them in the comments below.
But, the three colors I do have are Heart on Fire, Grav3yardgirl, and Born in The USA. The first color Heart on Fire was made for and inspired by Fivel Stewart who is the singer in the band 5L. The color is a neon orange jelly polish with lots of silver and orange glitter. The polish is also named after the band's single "Heart on Fire" that is available now on iTunes, just search Booboo and Fivel.
The second color is Grav3yardgirl and was inspired by my favorite youtuber and all around amazing person. The color is a lavender purple with silver glitter.
The last color is called Born in the USA and it is a teal color with red, silver, and blue glitter in it.
I am working on more polishes and will have different packaging before they are released, these are just TEST polishes! I hope you like them! Thanks for reading!!

A week in Nail Polish

Hiya Everyone! I have been super busy but I have taken pictures of my nails throughout this past week and here is all of my nails! I hope you all enjoy it and if you have any questions please leave them in the comments below! Thanks for reading!

Evie Evan Mini Purity Mask

Hiya everyone! I'm back and I just used this face mask that I received in my beauty box 5. It's the Evie Evan Mini Purity Mask. It's supposed to remove impurities from your skin. I used this and I like it but I still love my Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask! This mask is a gray color and has a pleasant smell to it. With this face mask a little goes a long way. Warning if you are putting this one do it quickly because it dries quickly. I left my mask on my face for about fifteen minutes and then washed it off with warm water. This made my face feel very fresh and clean and I definitely recommend this to others. I hope you enjoyed reading this and thanks so much!

My Combo for Red Lips

Hiya Everyone I'm back! Here with my favorite combo for red lips that I recently discovered thanks to Grav3yardgirl on YouTube an her twenty dollar make up challenge. The first swatch in the picture is the Beautique lip liner in the shade real red. The second swatch is the NYC lipstick in Retro Red. Finally the third swatch is the lipliner underneath the lipstick which makes it my favorite combo. The lip liner under the lipstick makes the lipstick stay on longer and makes the color pop. The lipliner is from Sally Beauty supply and retails for 1.95 and the lipstick is from Walmart and it is .98 cents! This is my favorite combo by far. Thanks for reading!

Cheetah Nails

Hiya Everyone! Here are my nails today, I polished them last night. Theyre cheetah nails, and I will have a tutorial on this soon if anyone is interested. But first I used my
Fantasea Nail Hardener Base Coat followed by two coats of Barry M's Flamingo Nail Paint on all of my nails except my ring fingers. On my ring fingers I did two coats of Orly's Gumdrop. To get the cheetah design I then did polkadots on my pink nails with Nicole By OPI's Redy to Runaway Love from the Justin Bieber Collection. On my ring fingers I used Jessica Cosmetics' Electric Teal polish to make the polkadots. To finish off the design I used the LA Colors nail striper in black to make lines, dots, and half circles around the polkadots. I topped everything off with Orly's Sec N' Dry top coat! Thanks for reading!

Basq Soothing Eye Gel

Hiya Everyone! Here today to tell you about the Basq Soothing Cucumber Eye gel! I love this stuff, it has a cooling effect on your under eye area. I put this on before I go to bed at night and it makes my under eye area feel so much better! This is sort of a blueish green clear gel and you only need the tiniest bit! I have been using this for two weeks and have only used up what was in the cap when I opened it! A little goes a long way! In the kar it seems to have a thick consistency and it really doesn't, it just blends right into my under eye area an is not sticky at all. It has a Minty smell to it which I love and Basq was nice enough to give me a discount code for online shopping for my readers! The code is RUSH20 and it will expire at the end of July so use it while you can!!! I hope you enjoyed this and thanks for reading!

Eyeshadow Swatches and NYX Dupe

Hiya Everyone! I haven't been blogging lately I have been sick the past few days but I am back now and I have a bit of catching up to do. I love my NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk but I do not like the 4.99 price tag. So I went in search of a dupe for it and I have found one and also discovered an amazing color. In the swatches below the first swatch is the NYX pencil in milk and the second swatch is the dupe for it by LA Colors in the shade Sea Shells. These are the exact same color and I think the LA Colors one may be a bit creamier! The last swatch is the LA Colors Pencil in Saltwater, it's a grayish silver color with chunky silver glitter in it! I love love love it! The LA Colors pencils are available at family Dollar( this is the only place I have found them) and are 1.50 each! Thanks for reading!

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!

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!

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!
