10 Day Beauty Challenge - Day 10

Saturday, September 1, 2012


My top favorite product/item EVER! Mark Shine Fighter. It's amazing. I've used this religiously 3 days a week for over a year now, and this is either my fourth or fifth bottle. Love it, and it does what it says it's supposed. This is, without any doubt, my favorite product I have tried to date.


That's a wrap!




10 Day Beauty Challenge - Day 9



Almost done! These are two accessories that I consider my favorites that I wear the most. I decided to not have my wedding ring in this, obviously I wear it, so I thought that i could leave it out.

1. Avon Star Bracelet - This is always on my wrist. I sleep with it on, shower with it, and honestly I don't ever take it off.
2. DIY Necklace - I made this a few months ago, as in attached the camera charm to the chain, and the flower was actually on my picture board at my wedding, and I linked it on the chain as well.

These are products that I bought that I don't use, or that I hardly ever use. It's not because I don't like them, it's just something that I don't reach for because I like something else more.

1. Piggy Polish Strong Like Jazz - I got this for free with Ulta rewards points. I let my husband pick out the color, and this is what I got.
2. Zoya Gemma - I actually like this color, I am just never in the mood to wear it.
3. Julep Melissa - Again, I like it, but I'm just never in the right mood.

Do you have any nail polish/make up that you love, but never wear?

Four used is supposed to stand for four most used. Since this is supposed to be primarily a nail blog, I'll go ahead and stick with my most used nail polish.


1. China Glaze Twinkle Lights - A holiday favorite!
2. Essie Adore-A-Ball - It whitens my nails, even if it's the wrong shade.
3. Essie Sugar Daddy - The perfect french manicure.
4. Julep Freida - Quickly becoming a favorite.

Tips! I love tips. Some of these may be funny, but they are soooo true!

1. Before you begin applying your nail polish, please use the restroom first!
2. Bad at applying polish? Keep practicing.
3. Always check the sale section when shopping. It's amazing what you can find there.
4. Hold the cotton ball on the nail before trying to work it off. This is how the foil method works, the foil really doesn't do anything.
5. Go bold, or go home. Don't be afraid to wear those crazy colors!

Share some of your tips beauty, or not beauty related.



10 Day Beauty Challenge - Day 5

Six wishes, now this will consist of stuff I wish for, some that I wish I bought, and things that would make my life so much simpler.

1. I wish I was into nail polish when the Shrek collection came out.
2. I wish I had enough money to buy one great bag that will last me forever, and never have the want to buy another bag again. Yeah, talk about wishful thinking!
3. I wish I could get the empties video over and done with already. I will do it!
4. I wish I could stop misplacing things I always use. My deodorant and I have an ongoing game of hide and seek (I end up using my back up every now and then), I currently have misplaced an almost full bottle of polish remover, and my Aveeno lotion has been MIA for months. That's not even half of the things that have grown legs and walked away.
5. I wish I had better skin.
6. I wish I had more Models Own nail polish =D
Bonus! I wish I realized that I made my 200th post 2 posts ago!



What's one thing that you wish for?

Cute As A Button and Riveting
Goody, day four! Now for this I will be talking about some of my polishes. Some are odd, some are favorites, and there's even a bit of disappointment thrown in there.

1. Essie Cute As A Button - I couldn't choose which toe color I loved the most. They are both so different, so I had to put them both in. CAAB is such a bright color that looks great on everyone's toes, in my opinion.
2. China Glaze Riveting - Another toe favorite. I love the shimmer, and the orange color.
3. butter LONDON The Black Knight - My favorite glitter nail polish. I love the variation of colored glitter, and it really ties in with the name. Beautiful.
4. OPI Skull and Glossbones - My guilty pleasure polish. Everyone thinks it's such an ugly color, but really I love it! I love the way it looks on my nail, the subtlety of the shade.
5. Models Own Beach Party - My favorite recent purchase. I had been lusting over it for MONTHS, and I finally have it.
6. Essie Adore-A-Ball - My most disappointing polish. It's even worse than Case Study. I was so shocked when I realized that my bottle isn't even the right shade. Thank goodness i got it for only a dollar.
7. China Glaze Holly-Day - My special occasion bottle. It's such a rich christmas green that I can't see myself wearing it any other time. It makes me sad, it's a beautiful color.



What are some of your most interesting shades?



10 Day Beauty Challenge - Day 3

Monday, August 20, 2012


Alright, today is eight dislikes. This one is a bit tricky, as I probably wont be able to remember every single product I've tried and didn't like. Stock images used for obvious reasons.


1. Cover Girl Clean foundation - The bottle made it so hard to get the product out, and when I eventually did, it wasn't really worth it.
2. Avon's Beauty Blender dupe - Maybe it's just me, but I HATE cleaning this thing. I have issues with sponges (talk about a bacteria incubator), and it never looks clean, and I have to sit there for such a long time getting the soap out of it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my habit is making this thing not worth the hassle.
3. Queen Helen's Mint Julep Mask - It made me break out sooo bad! I had to give it away, even though I loved the smell.
4. Tresemme dry shampoo - It is nothing compared to my Suave Professionals kind. I will use it eventually, but it's not my first post.
5. Osis+ Flat Liner -  So stinky
6. EOS Lip Balms - Just no. I can't stand them, they're so bulky, and they don't last long on my lips. I just feel like they are way over hyped. I will stick with my Burt's Bees, thank you!
7. Essie Case Study - When I put on the second coat, I was really really disappointed with the color change. It went from a pretty beige to a beige and green hybrid. Not pretty.
8. Poshe top coat - One word: Shrinkage. It was bad.



10 Day Beauty Challenge - Day 2

Today is nine likes. It can be the equivalent of nine most liked products, nine most liked anything. I'm personally not going to include polishes in this one, I'll save that for day four! This is really informal, as in I'm doing this off the top of my head, exact names may not be used, but I have probably shown these items on this blog before. Onto the likes!!!!


1. Boots cleansers. I've used 2 of their cleansers, and love both of them. Probably my favorites so far.
2. Tea tree oil face soap from Basin. I love tea tree oil, it is so useful, and the facial soap is no exception.
3. Shampoo bars. I am one of those people who thought this concept was crazy. Little did I know they are useful! Currently I am trying to use up the one from Lush.
4. Julep Pedi Prep. When paired with the file, it makes my feet look and feel so much ni cer. Only downfall is that I have to keep it in a baggy because it leaks.
5. Fossil purse. I can use and abuse this bag, and no one will know the difference.
6. Avon purple eyeliner. I like purple, and this is my favorite eyeliner in that color.
7. Slatkin & Co Candles. Really are wonderful. Except for the Spring scents, I didn't like any of those.
8.  Mark Shine Sighter. Stuff is amazing! It's a green oil absorbing mask.
9. Osis+ Wax It. I always forget about this stuff, but it's great for holding down my hair without making it stiff or greasy.

What are some of your favorite products?


10 Day Beauty Challenge - Day 1

Friday, August 17, 2012


I've been seeing something like this floating around, mostly not beauty related, so I decided to take a new twist on the idea and create my own! I am going to work back words, and start with ten secrets. Feel free to join me! You can take any twist on it you can, use the above image, whatever! It's supposed to be fun. Now, let's get to it: Ten Secrets.

1. I started getting into makeup and nail polish after my wedding. I was home alone, got bored, and then I became hooked! 
2. I am not good at nail art, it's something that I've always been nervous to try, and haven't really practiced.
3. I am addicted to Burt's Bees lip balm! Anything menthol, just throw it my way! 
4. My only high end makeup product is my Guerlain Meteorites and the Brush. 
5. My husband has more clothes than I do. 
6. I have always been a purse-aholic. Before it was Vera Bradley, now it's everything else. 
7. I am drawn to nail polish by their bottles first, then the color. 
8. I change my nail polish as my mood changes, but my nail polish doesn't always reflect my mood (mind boggler). 
9. I hate pushing back my cuticles. 
10. If I don't like a color, even after I'm done putting it on, I'll take it off.
