Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure

This product is definitely worth a shot!  I was able to test this as well through influenster.com (for everyone who follows my blog my regular posts will come back soon after these reviews)

This is an affordable way to get a manicure if you can not afford to go to the saloon.  It was quick and easy, and it lasted a full week for me.  If anyone has questions let me know.  It costs between $6 and $8 at local drugstores.  There is a variety of solid and pattern prints.  My favorite part is that it is helping my nails grow because I am unfortunately a nail biter.  If I can't get to them, I can't make them worse :)

NYC New York Color Show Time Glitter Eyeliner

So I was lucky enough to snag a few products by filling out information on influenster.com  No, this is not a scam, it's just an awesome social network that allows you to try products depending on how active you are.

I really enjoyed this eyeliner.  First of all it is really inexpensive so I can actually afford to buy it.  I am not a huge eyeliner person, but this liner was creamy and applied very well.  I think for the price it is worth it for everyone to give a shot.  I believe it retails for $2.49 and I am sure you can get it on sale at CVS or somewhere. :)  Check it out here: http://newyorkcolor.com/

Dino Lingo Language Learning

So I was scrolling around Influenster.com recently (check the post before) and I came across a great gift for my younger nephew.  Dino Lingo is a DVD language learning program for kids.  My next door neighbor watched a preview with me and said "this looks awesome!", but in a much more adorable little kid voice of course.  If you would like to try the Spanish version like we did, here is the link: http://dinolingo.com/languages/spanish.html#.ULggo-TXZiY

I believe this is a fairly new product, but I think it makes a great Christmas or other holiday present.  It helps children learn a new language in a fun and interactive way.  If anyone else has tried it let me know.  I think I will buy it and test it out with my nephew.  Who knows maybe he'll be fluent in another language after it?

Have an awesome day!

Bath and Body Works Candles

Hey guys!!

(picture from bath and body works website)

I just lit a brand new Bath and Body works candle in scent Frosted Cranberry, and decided I had to talk about how much I love these candles.  Now personally, I do believe they are a tad bit expensive.  I wanted to get 2 for $20 large candles so I had to spend the same amount of money on the medium size...which was unfortuante.  I still love them though.  They last for a decently long time.  I also abolutely love the new Yankee Candle I bought.  They came out with Christmas scents and I am using the Christmas Magic one.  I know it is way to early for christmas, but I can't help it.  These candles are keeping me happy through the hurricane.  I wish you could smell how good this candle smells right now.  Do you like bath and body works candles? How about Yankee Candles?  What's your favorite scent?

Eyeliner I am loving now

Hey guys!!!

So I have found a new eyeliner favorite.  For the longest time I have not tried cream liner because I have struggled with applying even pencil liner.  If you have watched many of my tutorials you have probably seen this.  I normally skip eyeliner and put on a lot of mascara, which is no bueno.  So I decided to take a chance on e.l.f cream eyeliner in black because it was only $3.00.  In my opinion, that is beyond a steal. I figured if I couldn't apply it I could lose the $3.00.  Anyway, I absolutely love how it applies and it is so easy.  I may try higher end cream liners in comparison later, but for now I am LOVING e.l.f.  Let me know what you guys think of different eyeliners :)  I think I am going to try to go to Ulta and Sephora to try a few different ones including MAC, Benefit, Smashbox, and maybe even Chanel.

Already Starting to Think about School

Hey!!!

So with August right around the corner, I am back to thinking about my new school purchases.  Besides all the notebooks and school supplies I need, I was beginning to think about some new clothes items I need (just kidding, want).  First off, I need new skinny jeans.  I probably own like 10 pairs right now so I can get away with just one new pair of jeans.  I found these on AE.com for about $35.  That's pretty good.

I also really wanted a pair of Tom's shoes.  I think they are the perfect combination of stylish and comfortable.  For the most part they are under $50 which is great.   I love how they look with skinny jeans, summer dresses, and shorts!

The final thing right now I really want would be a pair of Tory Burch flats, but they are like $250 and I would need to give it to myself as a Christmas present.  That would be a long time from now haha.  What is on your back to school list? Is it too early to start looking?  Hope your summer is still going strong!

Finally joining the world of Ebay

First off, I apologize for not being around recently.  I was on a trip for my college the last month.  It was absolutely amazing, but left no time to get on the computer and post updated information.

Now, on to my new obsession.  While we were away my friend was saying how his family uses Ebay for everything, from Christmas presents to necessities.  I have always been afraid of using Ebay because I didn't want to be scammed, but I finally decided to give it a shot and bid on 2 items.  One I lost (poor cowboy boots), but the other one I won!!! It was a small Vera Bradley bag. It was so exciting and instantly gratifying.  Hopefully within the week I'll be able to show you what it looks like, but for now this is what it is SUPPOSED to look like.  Does anyone else use Ebay?? Any tips? Hope your summer is fabulous!
