Strawberry Souffle Face Mask
Hey Cuties- I am here to tell you about this great face mask I recieved in my voxbox from influenster. I love this, I used this tonight, it very much smells like strawberries and cream and is to die for. It has tiny little like microscrubbing beads in it and even though this was a trial size there was SO much in it, I will be able to use this again because there was so much. It has pulped strawberries in it and it left my face feeling amazing! I know you can buy these for a couple dollars at Walmart, I am not too positive on the price but I know they are under three dollars, they have all different kinds, just go check them out, they're amazing. Thanks for reading

February 2012 Favorites
Hey Everyone so its me again and I am here to do my first favorites blog, YAY! I tried to keep it to ten products so this blog doesn't get super long but I have a feeling it will. But, I couldn't wait to do this, these are the products that I have been loving during the month of February so lets get started:
First thing is a Victoria's Secret Very Sexy eyeshadow, the back says its in the shade Work It, this is a very silky, smokey eyeshadow and I love this. This has been my go to shadow this month, I'm not sure if you can see from the picture but I have made quite the dent in this, I am not sure if this is available anymore, I got it last summer and just never used it and recently rediscovered it. Its a very very pretty blue, it kinda reminds me of a sky blue.
Ok so I went to my local dollar store and I was checking out and I seen these in a little bowl, its sort of like an EOS lip balm but its the Lisa Frank version and it only cost a dollar so I figured I might as well buy it and try it out. I bought this back in December around Christmas time, used it once put it in my lip product container and pretty much forgot about it. I bought this without using it or smelling ir or really ever hearing about it, so I pretty much bought it because it was adorable. I mean isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen? Its like a little cute kitten! But I opened it up and used it and its less of a gloss and more of a conditioning balm for your lips. When you open the sphere it looks very pink but its really sheer and the scent is amazing, its strawberries all the way! Yummy!
Ok next is the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Powder in the shade Beige. I love this powder, it is my new favorite powder, I got this the last week in January and I love it. I don't think you can tell by the picture but I have used this a ton! I love how it comes with a little pink brush underneath the powder as well, its just so flippin amazing and cute!
Ok so I reviewed this earlier in the month and this is my Maybelline Baby Lips in the shade Grape Vine. Its a very sheer purple tinted lip balm and it smells so grape like, I know grape smells aren't for everyone but I fell in love with this so I had to put it in here!
Ok so my only nail polish this month in my favorites is OPI's I juggle...men from their Femme De Cirque collection, this is a clear top coat with tiny subtle microshimmer in it, I have been using this as my top coat all month ontop of everything except my shatter polishes but I might even try it with those, this is just so simple and so amazing.
Ok so my favorite lotion this month has been Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath and Body Works. I absolutley love this, I have been using this scent for the longest time but its has just been my go to this month, I use this all the time, after I shower, before I go to bed, in the morning, literally all the time!
Ok lastly is my favorite perfume of all time, its called C-Thru Blue Opal, I bought this at Walmart about 2 years ago and put it on my perfume shelf and just never used it but latley I have been loving this. Its half gone now sadly and Walmart no longer sells this so I think I will have to be ordering this off of the internet soon, It smells very fresh and floraly, it kinda reminds me of some Victoria's Secret scents!
Well thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed my February favorites!

Again I am showing you guys the ELF Makeup Mist and Set, I absolutley love this, I swear there are not enough words to describe how much I love this, I reviewed this earlier this month and I have used it everyday since I got it, sorry the picture doesn't show how much has been used but I have used it everyday and I have barely made a dent in this bottle!
Ok so these are two things I got for Christmas in a gift set, it had I think 4 things in the set but I just fell in love with these two this month. My skin in very irritable and dry in the winter and gets red and blotchy, so the first thing is the Clinique redness solutions daily protective base. This is a green corrective makeup primer that helps reduce redness! My favorite thing about this was its oil free, sometimes my skin is very oily when other times its super dry like it has been this month. Ok so the second thing is what has been helping me with my dry skin on my face! Its the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion and let me tell you it IS dramatically different! After I put this on the first time my skin immediatley felt hydrated and amazing! This is 100% fragrance free and allergy tested so this doesn't irritate my skin :)
Ok next is the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Powder in the shade Beige. I love this powder, it is my new favorite powder, I got this the last week in January and I love it. I don't think you can tell by the picture but I have used this a ton! I love how it comes with a little pink brush underneath the powder as well, its just so flippin amazing and cute!

Nail Polish Obsessions TAG
Hey Cuties! So theres been this tag going around about your current Nail Polish obsessions and I am a Nail Polish Addict so its just natural for me to do this tag. So, its ten questions and I am going to answer them as accuratley as possible :)
Questions :)
1. What's your favorite nail polish company?
For this question I would have to say OPI, its been my favorite from the start but I did recently buy an Essie polish (my first Essie actually) and I really liked it but I still have to say OPI.
2. Glitter or no glitter?
Theres no contest on this question, glitter! I know I know, glitter is horrible to remove from your nails but I love glitter and I am willing to spend the extra time removing the glitter so its not a problem for me. Occassionaly I do have my nails with no glitter but glitter usually makes an appearance.
3. OPI, China Glaze, or Essie?
Ok so this is like the exact same question as number 1 so I guess just read the answer to Question 1 again.
4. When do you change your nail polish?
I change my nail polish two to three times a week, as I said I am a nail polish addict so I frequently change my polish and nail art.
5. What's your favorite color on your nails?
My favorite color on my nails is from the brand Nailtiques in the shade Havana.
6. Darks or Brights?
I am on the fence for this question, I love my brights but there are just days where I reach for my dark polishes, like the shade Havana by Nailtiques that I mentioned in the above question, its a very dark color.
7. What are you wearing on your nails right this moment?
At this moment I am wearing a Sally Hansen Hydrating Base Coat, Two Coats of Jessica Cosmetics polish in the shade Electric Teal(very bright teal) with a coat of OPI's Black Shatter from the Katy Perry Collection, and a CoverGirl Blown Glass top coat!
8. Matte Nails--In or Out?
IN IN IN IN IN, I love the look of matte nails, I seen that ELF came out with a matte top coat and I am dying to get it! I really want to try this look myself.
9. French Manicure?
Ummm, French Manicures really aren't for me, I tried it a few times but I think I just feel more comfortable wearing a colored polish on my nails. Maybe I am just weird like that but thats me.
10. Favorite Winter Color?
This is a no brainer, my favorite Winter Color is OPI's The One That Got Away from the Katy Perry Collection.
Thanks to everyone for reading and I hope you enjoyed my little TAG!

My Daily Nails
Hey Cuties! Well I will try and post my nails/ nail designs every other day but sometimes I keep my polish on longer but this is my first daily nail post. In this picture I am wearing a Sally Hansen Hydrating Base Coat, Jessica Cosmetics nail polish in the shade Electric Teal,OPI's Black Shatter from the Katy Perry Collection, and a Covergirl Blown Glass Top Coat. I absolutley love this, I bought the black shatter last year when the Katy Perry Collection was released and I had only used it once but I had some extra time today and decided to use it and I think they came out well. The Electric Teal Color underneath is a very vibrant blue and the picture doesn't do it justice, its very much a neon color. When OPI came out with the shatter polishes I bought them in every color except the pink one, I just could never find it and then I kind of got out of using the Shatter Polishes and just put them on my shelf and didn't use them for awhile but now that I have used this today, I feel that I will be using my shatter polishes more often! Thanks for Reading.
Hoof Foot Polish
Hey Cuties, I'm back again! This right here is Foot Polish by the brand Hoof Feet. This stuff softened my feet up and they have never felt better. I got this at my local Walmart for 98 cents, they have all different kinds of scents to choose from too! I think theres about 6 different scents and when I seen it I couldn't pass it up for 98 cents! Yes it is a small tube, maybe a more of a travel size but this is the only size my Walmart carries and the only product from this brand they carry! I love this, I only use a dime sized amount for my whole foot, so with this product a little goes a long way. I will definatley be repurchasing this product, Thanks for reading! If you have any questions or suggestions email me at beautyrushinfo@gmail.com
CoverGirl Professional Mascara
Hey everyone, ok I have to start off saying this is now one of my favorite mascaras I have ever owned and YES it is a drugstore mascara and super cheap I think I paid 3.99 for mine! This is the CoverGirl Professional Mascara, it is in the color Very Black. I love this because I have very few eyelashes and I hate wearing false lashes and when I wear this it looks like I am wearing false lashes and for 3.99 you can't beat it! I love this so much the next time I went to Walgreens I bought a second one as a backup! It comes in this really pretty colbalt blue packaging and I was immediatley drawn to that as well! The wand in the mascara is small so you can get your inner lashes well! When they designed this they really did a great job, four stars for CoverGirl Wooooooo haha Thanks for reading.
EOS Lip Balm...yes more mint
Hey Cuties! Its me again back to tell your about these little EOS or Evolution of Smooth Lip Balm spheres! They sort of look like little eggs and when you open them the lipbalm is a sphere! I didn't open mine as it is sadly gone( I guess you could say I hit pan haha) and for some reason I cannot find these anywhere in my area. But this one was in the flavor sweet mint, it smelled minty but not too minty and it made my lips really super soft, I only had it a couple of weeks and it was gone! It is one of my favorites so if I come by it again I will definatley pick it up! I know they have other flavors and I have tried Summer Fruit but I keep wanting to go back to sweet mint. The lip balm itself has no color to it, it is just the color of the lip balm when its made, no tinting, just lip balm. I don't like calling it a lip balm because its so much more than that, I think a better term would be lip conditioner. I think I might have to break down and go to the EOS website and order myself some more of these before I go crazy! Thanks for reading!

Sally Girl Single Eyeshadows
Hey Cuties! I picked these 5 Sally Girl Single Eyeshadows up at Sally Beauty when I was there last week and just got around to swatching them. If you don't know Sally Girl Eyeshadows are single eyeshadows that Sally Beauty Supply Sells for 98 cents or if you have a Sally's card like I do, they're 89 cents each. The single eyeshadows click together and since I got five I clicked mine together to make a sort of palette, they have tons of colors, anything you'd want, matte or shimmer. So as I said I just got around to swatching these and they are pretty flippin fantastic if I do say so myself, I would even say certain colors are comparable to MAC eyeshadows. Oh and if your wondering what my polish is, its Essie Mamba with a reversed gradient glitter effect using OPI's Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry Collection and Pink Ocean from Sinful Colors topped with OPI's I juggle....men from the Femme De Cirque collection. But Below are my swatches of the shadows on my hand:
From left to right the colors are: Ocean Blue, Electric Blue, Navy, Starry Night, and Rich Mocha(horizontally under the four shadows going from left to right.)
Ocean Blue is exactly what the name suggests, its a very ocean color or sky blue shade with shimmer in it, a great spring and summer color. This one is super pigmented!
Electric Blue is not at all what I suspected from the eyeshadow, at first glance its a nice blue with a purple tint with blue and sliver shimmer but when swatched it looks a very lilacy(is that a word?) purple and very sheer, not very pigmented.
Navy is one of those colors that at first glance under the horrible store lighting it looked like a black with shimmer and I was ok with that but when I got it home and swatched it, it is very true to its name, a super pigmented navy blue with shimmer.
Starry Night looks exactly like it does in the packaging as it does in the swatch, its a gray silver color with micro shimmer and it would be great if you were doing a smoky eye.
The last color was Rich Mocha and this one really let me down but for 89 cents what did I expect? Its the soft brown color and it looks darker in the packaging, and in the packaging it seems to have shimmer but when I swatch it theres a sort of metallic sheen but no shimmer. Rich Mocha seems to be a good color, maybe for your brow line. Overall I spent a little under 5.00 for these and I believe they were worth it, I will be going back and buying more Sally Girl products as they are high quality products at affordable prices, I hope my little review helped, if you have any suggestions feel free to email me at beautyrushinfo@gmail.com Thanks for reading.

Essie Mamba Polish
Hey Everyone, I just polished my nails and to polish them I used a Sally Hansen Hydrating Base Coat, Essie polish in the shade Mamba, and Opi's I juggle....men. I went to Walmart earlier this week and in the discount section of the store they had multiple shades of Essie polish marked down from 7.97 each to 3.00 each, I looked through them and none of them jumped out at me except the shade Mamba, its a nude pink color and it is the first Essie polish I have ever purchased. I must say I love it. I put this on my nails over my Sally Hansen base coat and I did two coats of it. Over the Essie I put Opi's I juggle....men from the Femme De Cirque collection. I juggle ....men is a clear top coat with microshimmer in it for a very subtle shimmer. Thanks for reading and I hope you like my nails <3
Elf Super Glossy Lip Shine
Hey everyone its me again! I am here today to tell you about Elf's Super Glossy Lip Shine with SPF 15 in it. I got mine in the shade Juiced Berry, this is a very sheer pink, it does not have any shimmer. It glides on my lips smooth but its sticky and thats what I don't like about it. It smells fine and the color is fine and it is Super Glossy like the name suggests but is it also super sticky. I might use it if I am going swimming or something because of the SPF in it but I would not use it for everyday because of the stickiness. I usually love Elf products but this one let me down. I was super excited to find it at my local grocery store on a rack and at only 1.00 I figured that I couldn't go wrong, but I did. :( Thanks for reading

ELF Tinted Moisturizer and Eyelid Primer
If you have very light skin, there is one more shade of the tinted moisturizer that is lighter and I believe there are two darker shades. In the summer months I may go one shade darker but we shall see. I paid 3.00 for this and it is from the ELF studio line.The next thing I want to tell you about is the ELF eye shadow primer. I have tried the Blinc eye shadow primer that I love and I also have the Urban Decay Primer Potion that I love. I haven't tried an eye shadow primer that I haven't liked yet but the ELF one is by far the cheapest and works just as well as the Blinc and the Urban Decay. I got it in the nude shade and it only cost 1.00 so you can't go wrong.
I have used this a few times now and it is my favorite, I know they make different shades like I know they make a pinkish colored one I would love to try when they stock it in my area but the nude shade works for me and helps my eye shadow stay on longer and not crease! I hope my review helped and Thanks for reading.
Minty Freshness?
Hey everyone, I want to start off by saying that I have been obessed with mint latley, the scent, the color, and the taste. Anything mint or mint green has been for me. So on that note I wanna show everyone my new favorite lip gloss/chap stick. Maybelline Baby Lips in Peppermint! I know I know I already have one in Grape Vine and I love it but as I said I have been obsessed with mint! The peppermint is a white lip gloss and is clear when you apply it, so if your just looking for a nice clear chap stick/gloss or if you just like mint, this is totally for you.
Also I stopped at the store to pick up some groceries the other day and I found something amazing beside the cash register that I had no idea even existed. Dark Chocolate Mint M&Ms! These taste so good and I just thought I'd share them in my little mint rave!
One Word: Yum
Mini Stila Haul
Hey everyone! Well I went to my local Ulta to pick up a few things and they still had a few items left over from Christmas so I got three discounted Stila things. I picked up two lip glosses in Rasin and Chocolate.
(Rasin is the pinkish one and Chocolate is the brownish one)Here are my swatches of the two colors:
Rasin is on the left and Chocolate is on the right. Rasin is a very berry like color, it sort of looks like a lip stain when it is on your lips. It really does not have a distinct smell to it but overall I like the color and will wear it. Chocolate on the other hand is a light brown/ nude tint to it when it is on your lips. I love this and it smells like actual chocolate. They only had these two colors to choose from but I think I got them for a steal for 2.00 each!
I also got one more Stila item on my trip to Ulta, its the Stila Making Spirits Bright Palette.
First of all I love the packaging on this palette. Second I loved the price, I got this palette for 4.00 marked down from 14.00. I immediatley picked this up. It includes four eye shadows, one cheek color(blush) and one bronzing powder.
I swatched these on my fingers when I got home and found out that these aren't super pigmented but they are quality eyeshadows. The pink rectangle is the cheek color and it is called Ribbon and this is a very pretty blush color, I am actually wearing it now. Last but not least the brown rectangle is the bronzing powder and it is called Joy, I like this powder but for me its not for everyday, its a little too dark but still quality. I hope you enjoyed my little haul and thank for reading.
Elf Makeup Mist and Set
Theres only one expression to describe this product, its a HOLY GRAIL product! I purchased this at Walmart for only 3.00 and I had heard great things about it and I figured that if I didn't like it I was only out 3.00 so I tried it! I love this, I mist this on my face after I have applied my makeup and it makes my makeup stay on so much longer than it does without it. I wear makeup everyday and it took me from November to February to finish one bottle. I use this sparingly. But I finished one bottle and I went back to Walmart yesterday and bought two more (one to use and one to have a a backup). This doesn't have a great smell to it if you smell it when it is in the spray bottle but once you spray it on your face you don't smell it at all. It takes about 5 misting sprays to mist my face with it. You can purchase this online or in stores. This is one of the greatest products I have tried. Thanks for reading if you have any questions feel free to email me at beautyrushinfo@gmail.com
A Cheap and Easy Alternative to the PoreFessional by Benefit
Hey again, I am here to tell you a Cheap and Easy Alternative to the PoreFessional by Benefit Cosmetics. So I love my skin and I love when its healthy so when everyone started talking about the PoreFessional I gave in and bought it, and I must say its pretty pricey and I just can't afford it and it really didn't work for my skin but I needed something. Pictured below is the PoreFessional I bought.
So as I said I needed something more so I got on the internet and started researching some things and found out Witch Hazel works well to remove the muck from your pores! So I went to my local Dollar General and picked up some Witch Hazel and some more cotton pads because I was running low and my total was 3.10 with tax! Compared to the PoreFessional which is 29.99 for the full size, I was amazed. I used this for the first time tonight and I can already see a noticeable difference between my skin with the PoreFessional and my skin with the Witch Hazel. The Witch Hazel works SOOOOOO much better. It melts away all the impurities on your face and you get so much.
I mean look at the size of that bottle, you can't go wrong! It doesn't have a horrible smell to it but it is an astringent and does have a smell but not overbearing. If you are going to use or try the witch hazel I would recommend getting the kind of cotton pads below, they work better than cotton balls with the witch hazel.
The witch hazel doesn't irritate my skin, it just helps clear my pores and really clean up my face. I used this after my shower and afterwards my face felt great, fresh, and clean. I hope this helped! Thanks for reading.

Super Nice Surprise :)
Hey Everyone, I got a super nice surprise in the mail today from my friend in South Korea. I went to kindergarden with her and when she moved in first grade we kept in touch, now were both 18 and graduated! But, she sent me a big box of surprises that she thought I would like and that I actually LOVE. ok the first one is...
TA-DA perfume from Etude House. This is a little korean girl in a kimono and her head is the lid and comes off to reveal the sprayer! I love this scent its very floral and girly. She also sent me a second perfume and the bottle is a cowgirl! The scent of that perfume is very fruity and I think its my favorite! She also sent me a set of travel items that has a shampoo,conditioner,and hair treatment. She knows I am going on a weekend trip to Chicago next month and sent this for that purpose! I will be reviewing that after I use it, its called Silk Scarf, I have never heard of it but it smells divine! Well thanks for reading, this was a super sweet surprise and I am very thankful she sent it to me!

Which Makeup Remover Wipes are for me?
Which makeup remover wipes are for me? You may be asking yourself this question, I am here to share and compare the brands I have tried and the ones that worked best for me, and also the ones I don't recommend. So lets get started with the first makeup remover wipes I tried, the Neutrogena Deep Cleaning Wipes.
I bought these at CVS and I paid 6.99 for them. When you buy them you get 25 wipes in a pack and if you wear makeup everyday like I do, these are gone fast. These removed I would say 95% of my makeup and didn't irritate my skin but one thing I didn't like was that they dried out because when your toward the bottom of the pack the sticker doesn't want to stick and it dries them out. But none the less I bought them and got them home and used them until they were gone and I liked them fine but I didn't like their price tag. If your like me spending 6.99 for something to take off your makeup is kinda scary. So I thought to myself there has to be a cheaper solution so I was at Walmart and I picked up the E.L.F. Makeup Remover wipes.
These come with 20 wipes and have a 3.00 price tag. These are from the Elf studio line and are available instores and online. I liked these and they preformed as well as the Neutrogena wipes for less than half the price, so after one pack was gone I repurchased another but as there are so little in the pack (5 less than Neutrogena) I thought to myself again, that there had to be a solution in which you got more wipes. I also liked that these didn't have a sticker closure, this helped them by not drying them out as fast. Well I was on youtube.com and hanhan1012(channel linked below) used the equate baby wipes and said they were a fraction of the price and worked just as well so when I went to Walmart I picked them up.

These removed I would say 95% of my makeup and didn't irritate my skin but one thing I didn't like was that they dried out because when your toward the bottom of the pack the sticker doesn't want to stick and it dries them out. But none the less I bought them and got them home and used them until they were gone and I liked them fine but I didn't like their price tag. If your like me spending 6.99 for something to take off your makeup is kinda scary. So I thought to myself there has to be a cheaper solution so I was at Walmart and I picked up the E.L.F. Makeup Remover wipes.
These come with 20 wipes and have a 3.00 price tag. These are from the Elf studio line and are available instores and online. I liked these and they preformed as well as the Neutrogena wipes for less than half the price, so after one pack was gone I repurchased another but as there are so little in the pack (5 less than Neutrogena) I thought to myself again, that there had to be a solution in which you got more wipes. I also liked that these didn't have a sticker closure, this helped them by not drying them out as fast. Well I was on youtube.com and hanhan1012(channel linked below) used the equate baby wipes and said they were a fraction of the price and worked just as well so when I went to Walmart I picked them up.
So you get 80 wipes, yes I said 80 and these smell pretty amazing, its not an overpowering baby wipe smell either, they are just as the package says naturally gentle. I loved them. These were only 1.78 at Walmart and these preformed just as well as the other two wipe brands that I had tried and these even made my face a little softer, I didn't break out and my skin wasn'y dry. I will keep repurchasing these over the other wipes because of the price and how many you get! Also these don't have the sticker closure either so they really don't dry out at all! I use these to remove the makeup from my face, remove swatches off my my hands and arms when I swatch makeup, these do it all! I will never buy something different even though I love trying out different brands and products. I really hope you enjoyed my little review and I hope it helped you, keep in mind everyones skin is different.

Phisioderm Deep Cleaning Cleanser
Ok Guys Woah I know I was gone for a couple days but I was kinda busy, did some things went shopping and got HUGE and I mean HUGE haul, I will be posting more in the next couple of days, I got a ton of things from ELF, Stila,Essie, and of course more Maybelline Baby Lips. Also look out of a makeup remover wipes comparasion! Ok so onto the Phisioderm Deep Cleaning Cream Cleanser, this stuff is amazing, I use this every day. It costs 4.99 at my local Walgreens so if your interested go check it out. So pictured is my THIRD bottle that is unopened because my second bottle still has a little in it. They have a few kinds, they have the normal cleanser, this one, and then the one for sensitive skin which I have also tried, they are both equally awesome. As I said I use this everyday and it makes my skin feel so clean and fresh and soft! This doesn't have a bad smell to it, it has a very nice scent and you only need the tiniest bit, a little goes a long way. This is gentle and it does not irritate my skin at all like some other cleansers I have tried. Well I hope you enjoyed my little review on this and thanks for reading.

Nailtiques Polishes!
Hi again! Well I got these polishes today from Nailtiques, I purchased four of them, they were on sale or I wouldn't have gotten them because they are pretty pricey for nail polishes but they are worth it. These are protein nail polishes and they go on very smooth, my nails in the picture above have ONE coat of polish on them, which is unheard of! I purchased them at Kmart, the normal price on them was 15.00 a piece but I got them for 10.00 a piece and I purchased 4 amazing colors that you will see in the picture below! I was aprenhensive about buying them because of the prices but I got them home and put one on my nails and I was flabberghasted! The brushes on the polishes are outstanding and don't fan out like most polish brushes, they're just absolutley perfect. The polish pictured on my nails above is in the shade Tahiti, its sort of a coraly pink/red color, it is just like the picture, not a true pink but still pink, if that makes sense.Below are the four polishes I purchased today from Nailtiques!
The first one starting from the left is number 312 in the shade Moscow, this is a very orangey red color, I like this alot, it will be great for spring! The second color is number 316 in the shade Havana, I really like this color, this was the first color I picked up in the store. Its a purple with a maroon tint to it, its pretty dark but its a super pretty color for fall. For some reason I think this is a sophisticated color, great for a night out. The third color is number 309 in the shade Tahiti, it is pictured above in the first picture on my nails, as I said this is a coraly pink. Last but not least the last color is number 306 in the shade London, this is a very light pink with a slight shimmer to it, I am not totally in love with this color after swatching it but I think it might be good to wear on my nails in the spring and summer but I am not sure, we'll see maybe you'll see it in one of my nail designs later on. Well thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions feel free to email me!
FYI I know you can purchase them from the Nailtiques website for 10.00 a piece, this is what I paid at the store and this is the cheapest I have found them.

Silk Elements Luxury Moisturing Conditioner
Hey Everyone! I went to Sally Beauty today and I picked this up for FREE for renewing my beauty club loyalty card and I brought it home and I used it in my shower tonight when I washed my hair. This has a very fresh scent and is a very thick conditioner. I like this, it is extremely comparable to Redken's All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner. It made my hair extremely soft and smells great! This is normally 7.99 from Sally Beauty or 7.49 with your Sally's Loyalty Card. But as I said extremely comparable to Redken's All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner and a fraction of the price, so I urge you to check out this conditioner at Sally Beauty!

Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner
This is Healthy Sexy Hair's Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner. I use this once a week on damp hair. This is just like your normal leave in conditioner, but it smells so fresh and clean. This conditions and detangles your hair. I got this for 5.88 at my local Ulta. This is another one of those products that I need to go repurchase because this is almost gone (Pouty face).Thanks for reading.
ELF Shine Eraser Blotting Sheets
These are the ELF Professional Shine Eraser Blotting Sheets. I bought 2 packs of these at Walmart for 1.00 a pack. There are 50 sheets in each pack so I am good for awhile. These smell like tea tree oil. They absord oil and shine as the package says and mattifies skin and minimizes pores. I love these because I have oily to combination skin and blotting my face with these before applying my make up helps a ton. You will only ever need one at a time and they're super inexpensive. Thanks for reading.
The Righteous Butter
Ok so this is my absolute favorite body butter, I have been obsessed with this latley, I got this for Christmas from one of my friends but I just started using it alot as I wanted to finish up my other body butter. This is Soap and Glory's The Righteous Butter Body Butter. Its for very dry skin and says it helps hold hydration in, I think it does this because my legs have NEVER been smoother! It smells very floraly which I like alot. As I said I got this as a gift and I also got the Clean On Me body wash with it which I will review after I have used it, but since I got it as a gift I have no idea how much this costs but I do know she said she got it at Target, if your wanting to check it out. Thanks for reading.
ELF All Over Color Stick
Hey! This is one of the products I myself have been raving about latley, its the ELF All Over Color Stick, mine is in the shade, Pink Lemonade. This is made to be used as a lip color,a blush, or an eye shadow. I have been using mine as a lip color because I just think it looks the best on my lips, but there is an extra plus to this, it smells EXACTLY like Pink Lemonade. I bought this at Walmart for 1.00, so super great and super cheap!
Really Refreshing Face Scrub
This is the True Blue Mini Really Refreshing Face Scrub in peppermint. This is FANTASTIC! I got this for 1.99 at Bath and Body Works and it smells just like a peppermint candy. It really gets into my pores and gets all the dirt and muck off of my face, I love it! I have to go back to Bath and Body Works and actually repurchase this because the one in the picture is sadly empty! When you use it, it cools your skin and leaves it feeling fresh and clean, its just WOW!
NYX Bronzer and Blusher Combo
Hey there again! I'm back to review yet another amazing product! Its the NYX Bronzer and Blusher Combo in BBC 02 Ibiza. Right now this has been my favorite bronzer, I don't really use blush all that much but since getting the dream bouncy blush, I have started using it more and I really like the blush in this as well. I use this with my mini kabuki brush and it works really well! The bronzer in this combo I would say is a medium-dark shade, it would work really well for summer for me but I have lighter skin and I was looking for some color and this worked great for that. The Blush in this combo is a pale pink, it looks really dark in the photo as it does in the compact but it is not very pigmented and it blends in great. I paid around 8.00 for this I think at my local Ulta, I am not too positive but I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you have any questions feel free to contact me and I will answer to the best of my ability.
Maybelline NY Dream Bouncy Blush
Ok So I was looking in my makeup collection the other day and I noticed I didn't have ANY blushes since my cheeks are naturally rosy but I felt like I needed to try this because macbarbie07 on youtube raves about these all of the time! I will link her channel below because I absolutley LOVE all of her videos. So I was at Walmart and I remembered to look at these and I did pick up one. I picked it up in the shade Plum Wine, its a very wine, dark redish color, not so much plum as the name suggests but I really do love this, it gives my cheeks that extra POP! that I wanted. It says on the back that it feels like a lightweight powder yet melts into skin like a cream and this is absolutley true. Also which is like a fun bonus when you buy this, the name says it all BOUNCY! You put your finger in it and lightly press and it bounces right back up, its so cool and fun, but also a great product. I believe I paid 6.79 for this at Walmart. Oh and I MUST mention that macbarbie07 had this app in one of her favorites videos and I am obsessed with it, go check out Temple Run in the app store, its FREE!

Maybelline Baby Lips
Hey Everyone its me again! I am here to tell you about one of my favorite lip balms! Maybelline Baby Lips! I got this for 3.49 at my local CVS but I know they are sold pretty much everywhere that sells cosmetics. The picture doesn't do it justice, the color of the tube its actually a teal color not a baby blue. The shade I got my baby lips in is Grape Vine and its a very plummy grapey dark purple color. I LOVE it! it keeps my lips very moisturized and lush! This is a must have.
