Pink Glitter Gradient Nails

Hello loves.  Here is another glitter gradient look that I created.  I wore this to the wedding I had to attend earlier this month.  I used my Maybelline polish in Crushed Shells for the base color and my Sinful Colors polish in Pinky Glitter to create the glitter gradient.

Very girly.  It didn't turn out as pink as I had imagined it would-but still very good.  It's more of a pink-coral combo instead, but no matter. ^_^


Also, I'm planning on doing a 50 follower give-away pretty soon, so stay posted for pictures and more information! 

Fistfuls of glitter,

Skintimate!

Hey ladies!  I wanted to show you all this new shaving cream that I bought! This is Skintimate's Moisturizing Cream Shave.  I bought this in conjunction with some Secret deodorant and some buy-one-get-one-free couponing deal a while ago.

This is a non-lathering shaving cream, which is very different than from what I am used to.  I have used this all throughout September and I think that I personally prefer lathering shaving creams to this.  If I were to compare this formula to something- it would be to hair conditioner.  It's exactly like shaving with hair conditioner.  Honestly.  I would rather shave with hair conditioner actually because it is thicker than this particular formula.  I find that it is very slippery and it makes me nervous when holding my razor, for fear that one wrong slip could send blood down the drain. 

I think it smells awesome though.  It is infused with soy and olive butter to give you silky smooth legs.  I have to admit-my legs were touchably smooth after the shower.  But, shaving will do that anyways because it also sloughs away dead skin in the process.  

I also like the packaging- the flower petal design on the bottom of the bottle is cute and convenient.  It snaps open and shut and is a squeeze bottle. It also stands on the flower bottom in your shower, so you don't have any nasty rusty rings in the tub.  

Would I repurchase?  No, probably not.  I like the packaging but I would rather that my shaving cream be lathered.  What do you think?

Skintimate legs,

NYC Quick Dry Polish-Canal Street

Hello dolls.  Here is the mani that I am currently rockin'.  This is NYC's quick dry polish in Canal Street- another .72 cent polish from Walmart with a little couponing.  But these won't put a dent in your pocket either at just $1.72 for a bottle at your local Walmart.

A great vampy color for fall.  It is a deep, rich, brandy color with tons of shimmer running through it. And here it is on my nails:

I must say, that wear time on these NYC polishes are rather impressive for me.  I got sick of the color before it chipped. lol. 


New found love,

Sinful Colors-Envy & Call You Later

Hey dolls.  How is everyone?  Here is my current mani: 

I used two coats of Sinful Colors Envy and did one layer of Call You Later on my accent finger.

 Sinful Colors in Call You Later

Envy is a beautiful jade green.  It is a creme color so two coats for opacity is all you really need.  

Call You Later is a glitter bomb jam packed with different colored green and gold glitter.  It reminds me of St. Patrick's day. ^_^  Or since I live in Wisconsin, the Packers.

Overall, Envy is a lovely green color, one that I would reach for again and again.  I love how it is such a distinct and unique color. 

Jaded love,

September Dollar Tree Finds

Hello loves!  Here is what I picked up from the Dollar Tree this month:

 1. Bra Clips 

These are the generic kind obviously, but curious to see how they actually clip onto the straps to keep them in place.  Yay to no more visible bra straps!

2. NYC Extreme Lip Glider lipgloss in Big Apple Red

The long and slender tube makes for chic packaging.  Slant tip applicator with twist off top.  Leaves lips extra shiny but not very pigmented. 

Swatches: Big Apple Red

3.  Elf Super Glossy Lip Shine

 Will prob end up giving these away in the future so no swatches. Sorry!  ^_^

Elf lip glosses: Watermelon, Honey Do, Pink Kiss

4.  Luminessence mini candles in Sugar Cookie

Smells so good for such a tiny price!

Dollar Deals,

Maybelline -The Falsies Mascara Flared

This was another recent mascara purchase, Maybelline The Falsies Mascara, flared.  That was a mouthful.  :)  

Anyways, I had seen a lot of advertising for this mascara and I was curious- no false lashes needed?  Really?  But I love false lashes!   

The mascara comes in the standard plastic tubing, but I like the angel wings on the wand.  Girly.  I was also surprised at the notch on the wand.  Was it supposed to be there?  I had to Google pictures to make sure that mine wasn't defected. lol.  It wasn't.  What is the purpose of the notch you say?  Well, to be honest, I don't really know.  I would guess that it is there to give some leeway to your lashes while you are applying- letting the wand yield to your lashes almost.  

The brush itself is huge.  I always manage to get some mascara on the underside of my lid from it.  It's easy enough cleanup with a little bit of water and a q-tip, but still annoying.  I just have really small eyes.  

The formula is nice-not too dry and not too wet.  I do use several coats of this when I am applying it and though it does clump a little bit, a wave of the lash comb manages to separate them.  What I don't really like is how the mascara applies itself to the very tip of my lashes and clumps them up.  I end up picking the little flecks off with my fingers at the end.

I also go over the mascara with my heated Avon lash curler that I bought at the beginning of the year to finish off my look.  What I like about this mascara is that it doesn't melt off onto the lash curler like my other mascara did.  It stays put and doesn't leave my lashes crunchy or flakey.

Overall, I don't like how it applies to the tips of my lashes and doesn't really define each lash.  It clumps them up instead.  I would much rather use my Rimmel London Lash Accelerator instead than reach for this. 

Hugs & butterfly kisses,

Rimmel London-Airy Fairy Lipstick

I have heard a lot about this lipstick, and managed to finally snag one that wasn't open or swatched at Walgreens.  I paid full price for this one *shock*  which was around $6.  

Airy Fairy is a nude pink color. Very creamy but I think it looks slightly frosty on me.  To be honest, I didn't like it very much at first.  I thought it was too pale and didn't work on my skin tone.  But then I tossed it into my makeup bag while I was in Milwaukee for a wedding and I ended up rather liking it with my pink NYX liner underneath.

Rimmel London lipstick in Airy Fairy

This is the lipstick just by itself.  It is a very pretty color in the tube.  I like the neutral pink that it is.  I have already reviewed other Rimmel lipsticks here so I won't go into depth with this one. 

So, what do you think?  Is this a must-have color from this line?  Do you have this color?  I think that it has rather grown on me. ^_^

Forever love,
