ELF for the first time

So I was in Target the other day and decided to try some ELF products. Of course I gravitate towards the blushes.

So the more coral one is Candid Coral

The more pink one is Tickled pink

I have been using these blushes for a few days now and I am in love.

They are very pigmented & are great quality for the price.

I purchased these for $3.00 each at my Target, can't go wrong with that price.

I highly recommend these blushes and I am for sure getting more.

NOTD/WEEKEND

So this weekend is my ideal weekend. Cold & dark nail weather.

Sephora by OPI
Metro Chic

This is my favorite color of all time. I have two bottles of it.

This is what I use in my nail routine.

Drugstore brand nail polish remover. Just to get a clean nail.
Sally Hansens Gel Cuticle Remover. I massage it into my cuticles to push them back
Essie Fill the Gap as my base coat. Just really fills in the ridges in your nails
Seche Vite as a dry fast top coat. This is just the top coat I am using for now I am on the hunt for a new one.

NOTD/Weekend

So this weekend I wanted to go with a nice baby pink to end off the summer. I am excited to start using darker nail polishes for fall/winter.

I always have a hard time painting my nails a light color as you can tell, because my cuticles are well retarded. They are very dry and brittle and I can never clean the light color around the cuticle the right way, but anywhoooooooo......

Butter London- Teddy Girl

Butter London polishes are a bit pricey. They go for about $14.

They can be found at Ulta.

The quality is very good and doesn't streak as it is applied.

The brush is easy to work with.

Nabi NOTD

I don't know about you guys but I have never heard of Nabi cosmetics before.

I actually found this brand In the streets of NYC. There was a man selling them for 2 bucks so of course I jumped on it. This is the color I have had on my nails for about a week and the quality is great! Has not chipped yet, applies beautifully, & so opaque in one coat.

They do have a website you can visit if you want to purchase any color or makeup items they have. I have not tried the makeup just the polish. WWW.NABICOSMETIC.COM

Baby blue

I really do recommend this nail polish brand and can't wait to try out the other colors I bought.

Cucumber eye treatments...So In the past

Have you ever put cold cucumbers on your eyes? I have and they kept falling off so I just ate the.

In my Birch box for the month of August I received

Wei Tibetan Chrysanthemum correcting eye treatment pads.

2 packs of 2 pads each was sent in my Birch Box. These pads retain for $60 for 20 packs of 2 pads.

In the back it reads;

Tibetan Chrysanthemum diminishes the appearance of puffiness by awakening the skin with energy flow.
Mulberry leaves minimize the appearance of dark circles
Eyes look well-rested after only 10 minutes
Allergy and dermatologist tested
Intended for all skin types

I honestly did notice a difference after I used the pads. I left them on my eyes for 15 minutes. It felt cool and I don't know if it was the smell but it also calmed me a bit.

I would purchase these eye treatment pads.

Now if you wanna scare away your significant other just follow them around the house with them on....

look like a mummy, but these are the pads.

Battle of the NUDES

I have been really enjoying lipsticks much more than lipgloss lately. I feel like I get more out of it other than a place for my hair to stick to.
I am also a sucker for nude lipsticks. Yes the ones that just give you that your lips but better look.
These are some of my favorite high-end to drugstore nudes.
