Ipsy Bag July 2013 "Beach Babe"

Hi Friends,

Today I want to share my July Ipsy bag, the theme this month is "Beach Babe".  I was really excited with the sneak peeks this month because they included "Coola" a great, cruelty-free sunscreen brand that I've had a ton of interest in lately. I've been waiting for them to go on Hautelook since a few of my friends told me that they have great prices when on the site. I'll definitely be making a purchase soon with the Coola 30% discount, each month Ipsy has special deals & sales on the brands they feature in their bags & it's a great way to get full size products at a discount. Now, on to the bag; Enjoy!

My Favorite Red Nail Polish of All Time

Hi Guys!

Today I have a short post with a few pictures for ya!  I think I have settled on my favorite red nail polish of all time & that is saying a ton since I have over 350 in my collection. The stand out for me is: Zoya "Elisa", whenever I wear it I just can't stop looking at my nails & feeling like the color is absolutely brilliant. It is not dull in any way, it's the exact opposite; such a vivid, rich, ruby, almost mirror finished red. I never forget that this is my collection & if I had to pick 1 shade to wear forever, this would be it. Everyone has a polish that they just think is the "bee's knee's" and from time to time they forget how fabulous it really is until they pull it out & bam! it call comes back to them why they love this shade so much! Enough of me sharing my love for this shade & on to the pictures, enjoy!

Thanks for checking out my post. Do you have an All time favorite nail polish? If not, what is your all time favorite shade to wear?

Zoya PixieDust Fall 2013 has arrived!

Hey everyone!

Hope you're having a Fabulous Tuesday, I definitely am because the new Zoya PixieDust collection for Fall 2013 just showed up at my door. These pretty little pixies look even more beautiful in person than they show online. My initial favorite is "Tomoko", as it appears to be an even more neutral version of "Godiva"(whom I absolutely adore). I'm headed to the beach this weekend so that will more than likely be my next manicure, but lookout for swatches of the whole collection sometime next week!

"Tomoko", "Chita", "Sunshine"
"Carter", "Arabella", & "Dhara"

"Tomoko", "Chita", "Sunshine"
"Carter", "Arabella", & "Dhara"

"Carter", "Arabella", & "Dhara" 

"Tomoko", "Chita", & "Sunshine"

Do any of these jump right off the page at you? Carter definitely took me by surprise to be the unexpected rich & sparkly purple of the collection, it practically jumped out of the pack at me!

Zoya Fall 2013 Collections "Cashmeres" & "Satins"

Hello Again!

As soon as I received this e-mail from Zoya I wanted to post so that you ladies could get excited about the Fall Zoya collections, as I am. The colors look rich, beautiful, & different. They will be a great addition to anyones current collection. I can't wait to see these in person & test them out for myself. When Fall comes around I always have such a hard time picking and choosing from different brands collections but Zoya has taken all of the guess work out of it! Enjoy!

Sale Alert: Target Sandals "Various Brands"

Hi friends!

Today I wanted to type up a quick post because I snatched up a few pairs of sandals with a good deal from Target. Beauty by Kendra C posted about the sale & her love for the Lena Metal toe flip flops so I had to check them out. After adding 2 colors to my cart (because I couldn't choose!) the screen displayed that Target was running the deal of Buy 1 Get 1 50% off when using your RedCard. This deal along with the RedCard free shipping & 5% off everything was a purchase that I couldn't pass up. In addition to this, if you use Ebates for your purchase you can receive 2% back.  Below I have a screen shot of my order, hope some of you can take advantage of this great deal as well!

Zoya PixieDust Fall 2013

Hello friends!

Hope this post finds you all doing well! Yesterday I received an email announcing the Fall release of the Zoya PixieDust collection, I'm super excited about this collection & as soon as I saw it I fell in love. I can't wait to get my hands on this collection, I own all of the previous PixieDust sets & can't explain how much I love them. They are sparkly, long-lasting, quick-drying, & easy to remove; I can't stop looking at my hands when I'm wearing them & can't say enough good things about them!

Ulta Haul "June"

Hello lovies, 

Today I have my latest Ulta haul for you, I didn't buy a ton but I did receive some pretty good samples that I can't wait to try! Benefit is one of my favorite brands & I don't think I have a thing for cream eyeshadows so it was a no brainer when Ulta was giving away a special Beauty Day sample set with $35 orders. I also needed to buy Seche Restore (first time) to help thin my Seche Vite top coat & since I needed to reach $50 for free shipping I added a NYX Butter Gloss in "Maple Blondie". Enjoy!

NYX "Maple Blondie"
Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow "Bikini Tini" & "Birthday Suit"
Ulta eyeshadow "Golden Olive" 

Ulta Samples:
"Freshwater mist" moisturizing lotion
"Golden Olive" eyeshadow
Hydra Quench Foaming Cleanser

Seche Restore & NYX Butter Gloss "Maple Blondie"

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow
"Birthday Suit" & "Bikini-tini"

Today I have for you the 2nd post in my "Nail Polish Collection" series. Essie is my most reached for & purchased brand however the formula can be tricky to work with at times.  Each season I find myself craving their bright, bold, neutral, creative colors; they simply do it all. I've seriously tried to ignore the new collections but I seem to fail each time as shown this past weekend when I picked up the entire "naughty nautical" collection just because I wanted it. A few of the colors were original but that really never stops me when they release new shades; I could have the same color from a previous collection & I don't even take the time to compare, I have to have it!
