Sephora March Play! Box

Image
**Bought It**  It's Sephora Play!Box time again and I am sooo pumped about what I got this month. I am pretty sure these keep getting better and better each month. I have yet to receive a box that I didn't like. So, let's jump in and see what I got!   Atelier Cologne   Clémentine California Cologne Absolue Pure Perfume This scent thoooooo! I love every Atelier perfume I have tried. I just happen to have an overload of perfumes right now, but this is going on my "want" list. As soon as I clear out my stash, this is it!!   Verb Ghost Oil I have talked so much about this product. This is my all time favorite, fix-everthing-that's-wrong-with-my-hair product. I bleach my hair pretty bad, so when my hair is feeling extra dry, I add a little bit of this and work it in to my wet hair. It fixes all. I always add a little dab when I am done flat ironing to get rid of all those fly aways and anything that is drying out. If you never have tried this, y

Sally Hansen Easter Quick and Easy Nail Art

Image
**Contains Press Samples** Easter is creeping up on me way to fast this year. I'm barely getting decorations out let alone being anywhere close to having anything planned or shopped for.  I wanted to do a little Easter mani design, but like I said, I have been seriously lacking in the time department. I pulled this super easy-to-do design out when I was swatching these colors. I did a quick "egg tip" design. I decorated all of my eggs on the tips of my nails and made them with fun designs that I would decorate my own Easter eggs with.  What do you think of this design? I wish I would have made my eggs, more egg shaped. Do you have an Easter mani lined up yet? Colors Used: All Below are Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colors Aqua Chakra Lilac Insomniac Make Me Mauve

Sephora Favorites- Scouted by Sephora

Image
**Bought It** I had a little Sephora loot from Christmas- yes, I still have some leftover Sephora money from Christmas. NO, I am not sick.. lol. Anyway, I decided to purchase a couple of these little sample boxes. I got to show you the Skin Fitness Kit a week ago and now I am going to show you the Scouted by Sephora box. Of course, there's drama involved... stay tuned.  First up, Milk Makeup mascara. This mascara comes in a lipgloss like tube instead of the traditional mascara tube. I actually like it for traveling purposes because it's small. The brush is an hourglass shape and the bristles are pretty spread out. I actually like the brush, a lot. The application and formula is pretty great, too. I will be reusing this product. As far as a repurchase, it's probably a no because I can't have a monogamous relationship with a single mascara. I just can't do it. This is the third Milk Makeup product that I have used and I am totally digging all that they ar

Sally Hansen is Bringing Spring into Bloom!

**Press Samples** Spring is in the air!!! Yes it is with these colors. Sally Hansen is bringing in the Festival Floral color collection with their Miracle Gel line. I loooove this line because it's a no light gel system that uses a color and then a top coat. They sell these in cute duo packs for only $14.99. There are 8 new shades with this collection and I have 3 to show you today!  Aqua Chakra This is a gorgeous aqua leaning turquoise color that screams nothing but Spring.  With only 2 thin coats for Step 1 and a thin Step 2 top coat, you can get this gorgeous color for yourself.  Lilac Insomniac  Ok, lets get real about this color! This is a super hot, violet fuchsia. Lilac Insomniac is the perfect transition shade.  I love how deep and powerful this color is on my skin tone. I am actually pairing this with the beauty below for this weeks mani.  Make Me Mauve Make Me Mauve is a pink leaning mauve that makes for a perfectly light Spring shad

**Press Sample** Hello All!! I am back after a much needed vacation and I have something so great to show you. I actually brought this on vacation with me and used it on the bride!! Yes!! Stay tuned.... My brother got married and I used this awesome 12-color palette on the bride. It is so diverse and has so many great colors that I just love. There are three different palettes available and I am showing off #002.  As you can see, they are all shimmer colors. They are all very smooth and apply very nicely, as well. There is a little fallout, but enough to manage by a simple brush tap. The thing I love most about this palette is the blendable color selection. The combinations are really endless. The really great thing about this is that it retails for just under $8! Totally worth it!! Overall, I really liked this palette. I have added it to my everyday makeup use because it's so versatile. If I feel like doing a full on look, I can use so many colors to make a deep

Zoya Charming Collection 2017 is Bringing on the Spring

Image
**Press Samples** Ok... I am totally impressed by this collection. There are three creme finishes and three shimmer micro sparkle finishes. I am super excited about all of the purple shades, too! I mean, hello heaven, to a purple lover like me!!   JORDAN Jordan is a soft bubble gum pink that is perfect for all those spring manis! It's super soft and full coverage in one coat! I did two just for good measure, but you can get away with one if you are in a hurry.   AMIRA Amira is a soft, baby blue that Zoya describes as a soft dewy blue with micro sparkles throughout. These are a little bit more sheer than the cremes, so you may have to go with two to three coats to get a good coverage. It looked way more sheer than it really is in the bottle.   LACEY Lacey is a light pastel green swirled with some micro sparkles. Zoya describes this as a light dewy green. I say more like a very pastel lime. I don't own a color like this, so I am pumped to add it to
