FAUX & DREAMY

HAPPY 2013!!!

NEW MAC lip combo!

Featuring:

• Faux
• Dreamy

This is so close to my actual lip color, it really brings a soft pink color to my lips. I am in love with it. You can pair this with any topper for any day of the week! Such a pretty girly nude pink :)

"you're so Dreamy"

MAC's Dreamy Lipglass, a pretty sparkly pink color. Wonderful for topping off a matte lipstick or a softer pink to jazz it up! I am loving it! Gives just enough shine without being too much! Reflects sparkle in the light. Perfect for pictures!

Shine Bright!

Featuring L'Oreal & Ulta polishes!

L'Oreal Butterfly Kisses I used as base color.

A pretty Barbie pink <3 did two coats!

Ulta's Afterparty for a extra sparkle as a topper!

Pretty nail combo for any girly girl! I LOVE the L'Oreal polishes, they go on so easily! Makes it so quick to do your nails! The Ulta polishes are pretty smooth too, this glitter was not SO chunky so it went on easy! Let's see how it will come off... lol!

E.L.F Christmas Nails

Picked up E.L.F nail polishes from Target, they were only $1! E.L.F polishes don't have names but here is what they look like:

Very Christmasy! A bold red & a finely glittered hunter green

Gorgeous for holiday parties to jazz up your outfit! I went tradition with one color, then the other, feels old-school to me haha But it makes me feel cheery & I love it :)

Happy Holidays! 
Heading to New York this weekend! Have a good one!

ORGANIX

Ever wanted to try the Organix Haircare line? I'll admit the packaging always struck me, so I finally gave in! I researched on their site to see which was right for my hair type! This is what I got:

Moroccan Argan Oil  

Organix says it:

• renews hair's cell structure with vitamin E & antioxidants
• seals in shine
• makes hair soft
• strengthens
• color safe
• sulfate free & paraben free
• restores moisture for dry hair
• protects hair from styling heat & UV (sun) damage

WELL! I have to say, it did just that!

I was very please with this product duo. I did get the travel size, but I will definitely get the regular sized bottles!

I felt my hair was feeling drab from using the same shampoo so often, don't get me wrong I love my Macadamia Natural Oil Shampoo, but it is nice to switch it up! I am so obssesed wth using sulfate free, so this caught my eye!

I love the smell, it suds up nicely, and gives an amazing result. My hair is chemically damaged from coloring. I have been nursing it and with all the sulfate free products and deep conditioners, it is on it's way!

Moroccan Argan Oil duo left my hair silky, not greasy. Felt strong and shiny too! & I didn't need a heavy leave in after using it. I used Kendra Blow Dry spray & I was good to go!

I recommend this type of shampoo & conditioner to anyone with normal to fine hair, chemically treated hair, or hair that just needs more moisture!

Try it ;)

PS: bought mine @ ULTA

VAMP NAILS

ULTA FEMME FATALE*

 What I used (in order):

Used a basecoat since this is a darker color and that will help it from staining nails. The color itself is gorgeous! Reminds me of a vampy dark color, so in right now! The X-Dry I love, it drys nails and protects from chips!

Get your vamp on ;)

Sephora by OPI Polish!

Picked up some new polishes from the Sephora by OPI collection!

XOX Betsey from the Betsey Johnson Line. I am loving this baby pink color. It goes with anything! The polish it's self lasted quite long too before it started to chip off. Did need 2 coats to get coverage!

A popular color from the Sephora by OPI collection "Nonfat Soy Half Calf." A very pretty nude color, that would be great for a french manicure! :) Took me a few coats to get it to my desired color pay off, only draw back.

This photo is to show the color difference between the two shades. I would highly recommend these colors! Try em here!
