NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick

Image
**Bought It** I  am super excited to finally be able to share these with you. I know you all probably already have them, but I finally was able to find them. I found one at Target and the other at Ulta. I love just about everything that I have from NYX and I was super excited about the colors. I am still searching for Amethyst and Sway. I'm not sure how they will look up against my skin tone, but I am sure loving purple lips so I want to try them.  Pink Lust Is a hot pink color. I am loving hot pink, especially for the summer. This is the perfect Barbie pink color. These are touted to be perfectly polished with every swipe and waterproof. The color on this is great, but the application is a little tricky. There is a doe-foot applicator so you have to work quick before it dries and clumps. Sandstorm This is the NYX Suede nude. I liked this nude because it wasn't the color of my lips and I thought it would be contrasting enough to be able to tell that I was wea...

Alpha Mani Scrounging for the Letter U

Image
**Bought It** This weeks marks the tail end of this little alpha adventure. You see what I did there?? Anyway, I had one heck of a time trying to scour through my stash for a U polish. I did manage to find one lonely Ulta polish, so thank god for that!! I am already stressing about next week which is V. These are the times when I wish I would have cataloged my stash like a good little nail blogger! I am just going to have to start digging through the masses now, I guess.  Again, if you have any brand suggestions or polish name suggestions that start with V, you let me know in the comments below!! Anyway, I love this color. It's a super cool, sherbert looking peach color. I matted it and added some cute bow decals from YouPolish. I actually just picked up a variety pack plus a Mommy and Me pack from YouPolish so I will be using them a lot in my upcoming looks. Colors Used: Ulta- Peach Parfait

GOT Polish Challenge- Yellow/ Peach

Image
Well this is the last installment of the probationary GOT Polish Challenge. It was so successful that the wonderful Crumpet extended it for several more weeks. I am super excited about this because I love this challenge. Like I said before, it makes me feel not so bad about having so many polishes just chilling around and not being used. I know that they will get a little more love. This weeks challenge was yellow/ peach. Well the ONLY time I use yellow is for STEELERS nails! So.... I am super glad we got the peach option. Yellow just looks like poo on my skin. When I do Steelers nails, it is never straight yellow, so you can't tell how truly bad the yellow looks. Plus black and gold is just the BEST color combo ever!! For this weeks polish, I picked Peach Parfait by Ulta. This is like the perfect peach cream. It looks so fresh and clean!

Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex SPF 15

Image
*I received this product complimentary for the purpose of an honest of review   Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti- Wrinkle Complex SPF 15 has been a really great product that has made it's way, permanently, to my beauty must-haves list! It has not only reduced a deep wrinkle, but it has also been very nice to my gentle, irrational skin. I have mentioned this before, but I am a 30 year old with the skin of a 16 year old. Mostly anything I put on my face gives me a pimple or a rash. All of the Hydroxatone products have been really good to my skin. I use this 2 times a day and have not had a single break out since using it. Hydroxatone claims the following regarding AM/PM Anti- Wrinkle Complex SPF 15: Erases the appearance of fine lines/crow's feet around the eyes Reduces the appearance of even deep wrinkles in the forehead area Reduces discoloration and uneven skin tone Hydrates skin across all age groups Improves skin tone and radiance Reduces the appearance of hyperp...

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream SPF 40

Image
* I received this product for free for my honest review.  I am very excited about this product because, like many women, I am on the constant hunt for the perfect BB Cream. I have tried several different brands and they each have had their downfall. In the perfect world the best BB Cream would be under $10, have some sort of SPF coverage and gives my face full coverage. I have a little embarrassing issue that I have dealt with my whole life. This issue comes and goes and gets worse each month and then gets better. I have struggled with acne on my face for a long time. As a teenager it was embarrassing, but normal. As an adult, it is just plain embarrassing. This is why it is even more important to me to have have excellent coverage. I also have extremely limited time in the morning being a full time working mom of 2. Often times, it is just me getting both of the kids up, dressed, fed and out the door in under an hour. I pride myself on looking well put ...

52 Week Challenge- French Manicure

Image
I love traditional French manicures; with the pink and white. I wanted to do something different and non-traditional. I picked a orangish brown (Zoe) and the copper glitter I just got from Ulta. I really like My Two Cents and I think the hue can definitely change with different unders. So anyway, I did this combo French because I think the traditional should be saved for the summer months. Enjoy!! Oh, I forgot to add this before, but do you see my wonderful cuticle on the side of my ring finger?? Yeah, I don't know what happened, but I am in the process so super healing that baby back. It really hurts, too!! Also, how do you guys like my new lighting?!? I'm pretty excited about it! Julep- Zoe Ulta- My Two Cents
