Glossybox October 2012

Hey All -

I'm here with my October Glossybox overview!! I got this box about 2 weeks ago, but just got around to taking pics this past weekend. The theme for this box was Spa Luxe - Let go, Unwind, Restore.

 

 

 

Starting from the left the soap is the Heartland Fragrances exfoliating loofa soap in Peppermint. It says this is a truly unique hand-poured loofa soap encased in gentle glycerin provides the perfect blend of moisture and exfoliation. This soup is designed to improve circulation and is great for exfoliating. I haven't used this yet but this stuff smells amazing!!! I'm really interested to give this a whirl, even though I'm usually not a fan of bar soup. Price of a full size (which this is) is $8 for 6 oz.

 

The next item is the Alterna Bamboo Luminous Shine Mist. The card says it's an Eco certified shine mist made with Indian gooseberry and organic bamboo that controls frizz and flyaways. It is a brilliant and weightless gloss for any hair type. I haven't tried it yet, but I could certainly use something to help control frizz in my hair. The sample is .85 Fl. Oz and a full size is 4 oz, which retails for $22.00.

 

To the left of that is the Carol's Daughter Shea Souffle. This is a superbly rich & fast absorbing daily moisturizer containing Shea butter, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil to help you reach your skin's optimal softness. This Shea souffle is non-greasy and free of parabens, mineral oil and artificial colors.  I got mine in Ecstasy which is described as sugared strawberry, island mango and Egyptian musk. I think it smells more musky than anything else and I don't really like the scent. It's not unbearable but it's definitely not my favorite. It also is described as being non-greasy and putting it on my hands it seems pretty greasy. It took a few minutes for it to sink it, but they still felt greasy but they also feel soft. I'm excited to try this on my very dry legs. My sample is 4 oz which is a very nice size sample. Full size of this product is 8 oz and retails for $20.00.

 

I also got the Modelco Lip duo lipstick & ultra shine lip gloss. It says this is an ultimate pairing in lip color - a flawless, long lasting lipstick & an intense beaming gloss. Each may be worn separately or layered for an individually tailored hue.  The lipstick is called Dusk and the lipstick is called Striptease. As you can see from the swatch below the gloss is on the right, and it's clear you can't really see it. There is some glitter in the gloss, but it's nothing major. Not a lot shows up on your lips. The color isn't necessarily the most flattering color, but I'll give a whirl. The packaging is really nice on this product, but I'm just not a fan of the double ended lipstick & gloss combo. It does have a little mirror on one side of the black part, that is nice. This product retails for $39.00

 

 

The last item I received in this months box was the Nastassja Skin Enzyme Facial Peel. The card says this revolutionary facial peel is infused with vitamins and nutrients. It exfoliates with papain, a naturally occurring enzyme in papaya, and gently eliminates dead, dry skin cells to reveal a more radiant you. I'm not going to lie, this product scares me!! I've never used anything that says facial peel so I'm a little hesitant to try this. I will however give it a try and see what it does to my skin. I have read that papaya is good for your skin, so I guess you just never know. My sample is 0.25 oz and full size is $40 for 2 oz.

 

Glossybox is a monthly subscription service that costs $21 a month, which includes the shipping. You can read more about how it works here.

Let me know if you have any other questions on the product!

 

Thank you!!

Wet & Wild Limited Edition Palette - Shimmer the Night Away

Hey All -

I'm here to talk about the other Wet & Wild limited edition palette that I recently purchased. I recently purchased this at Walgreen's. These palettes are from the Where's the Party Collection, just releasing to stores. The collection consists of 3 palettes, Sparkle 'Til Morning, Shimmer the Night Away and then a third one called Drinking A Glass of Shine. This palette is a re-release of a palette (I heart Matte) that they had last year and I already have. You can see my blog post of the Sparkle 'Til Morning palette here. In this post I'm going to focus on the Shimmer the Night Away palette.

 

 

 

Top row is the left side of the palette and bottom row is the right side.

 

I really like this palette! It's not something that you would use everyday but the colors are really nice. The left side of the palette has some really great colors for going out/night looks. The silver color on the left side is so pigmented and creamy. I also really like the dark grey color below that. The black has lots of glitter in it but it's actually very pigmented and creamy as well. The light pink color (top color on right side) is not very pigmented. It took me a couple of good swipes for that swatch to show up on my hand. The bright blue color seems kind of chalky. I also really like the brighter pink color on right hand side. Overall, I think the left side of the palette is great and the right side will offer some color variety.

 

This palette retails for $4.99 and can be found at Walgreen's. You can find more info and swatches on Nouveaucheap.  By clicking here you can find a also see a map of where these palettes have been spotted.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to see a look with a specific color in the palette!!

Thanks so much for reading!!

Wet & Wild Limited Edition Palette - Sparkle 'Til Morning

Hey All -

I finally found the Limited Edition Wet & Wild palettes that I've been looking for. I've literally stopped in almost every Walgreen's I see to check for these and finally one had them!! I got the last 2 (one of each) at the one I went to. So, before you go thinking why would I want to buy Wet & Wild cosmetics, that's the stuff I used to buy as a kid that was bad. However, they have since improved the quality of their products and are now one of my favorite drugstore brands!!

 

The 2 palettes I got are Sparkle 'Til Morning and Shimmer the Night Away. These palettes are from the Where's the Party Collection, just releasing to stores. The collection consists of 3 palettes, the two I named above that I purchased and then a third one called Drinking A Glass of Shine. This palette is a re-release of a palette (I heart Matte) that they had last year and I already have. In this post I'm going to focus on the Sparkle 'Til Morning palette.  

 

 

 

Top row is the left side of the palette and bottom row is the right side.

 

This palette is awesome!!! The colors are very pigmented and creamy. That top cream color one is kind of hard to see in the swatch on my hand but it was there. Since these are so pigmented you don't have to use a lot of product. Also, these swatches are done without a primer underneath so the colors could potentially be more intensified if you used a primer or colored base underneath! The palette also comes with a double ended brush, a sponge tip applicator on one and a angled brush on the other. I never use these, but the sponge tip applicators are nice to have around. As you can see they do have it written on them how you could wear them, I never usually go by that. I pretty much just mix and match and come up with my own looks.

 

I will post pics of me wearing some looks I come up with using the palette once I have a chance to use it. If you spot these in Walgreen's and are looking for some pretty neutral colors (minus the teal/blue) I would pick this up. They retail for $4.99 - you can't beat that price!!

 

I found out about these palettes from one of my favorite bargain blogs Nouveaucheap. You can find more info and swatches on her website. Also, she has a map where you can see if anyone has spotted the palettes in your area. That can be found here.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to see a look with a specific color in the palette!!

 

Thanks so much for reading!!

Urban Decay Feminine Palette

Hey All -

I've got another eyeshadow palette that I recently purchased at Ulta. I bought it when I had the 20% off coupon, but wanted to do a seperate post with swatches and everything for it. It's the Urban Decay Feminine Palette. As you can probably tell I love Urban Decay eyeshadows!! They are some of the best eyeshadows around. Most of them are very creamy and pigmented.  This palette comes with 6 different eyeshadows and a lipgloss sample in Wallflower.

 

Right out of the package

Inside (There is also a small mirror on top)

 

Bordello, Skimp, AC/DC

 

Gunmetal, Hijack, Lost

 

Swatches!!!

 

As in order of the palette with the gloss on the end

 

I really like all the colors in the palette. I did a look last week using Bordello on the lid and then a matte brown in the crease. I think it turned out great! I'll put some looks together and get them posted when I do. I'm trying to figure out the best way to take pics of my looks!!

 

The palette retails for $36 and can be found at Ulta, or Sephora and Urban Decay.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or would like a look with a specific color!

 

Thanks so much!!

Ulta Haul!!

Hey all -

I went to Ulta over the past weekend because I had a 20% off coupon for my entire purchase. These coupons are soo deadly for me!! If you shop at Ulta I hope you have an Ulta card because having that card gets you these kinds of discounts. They have these multiple times a year which is great. So make sure you sign up for their emails and a Ulta card.

 

 

Starting on the left the item is a repurchase for me. It's the Tree Hut Almond & Honey lotion. This stuff smells absolutely amazing. I love it! I think this is my 3rd bottle of this stuff. It not only smells great but it's very moisturizing. I usually tend to lean toward lotions without scents that I'm going to be using for multiple purposes, but this stuff is just amazing! Retail is $6.49 and can be found here.

 

The next item I purchased was the NYX Liquid Crystal liner in Crystal Silk. It's kind of a gold sparkly eyeliner. I bought this to try to recreate this look that I found on Pinterest. Will try to do a blog post when I do it!! Retail is $4.49 and can be found here.

 

I also purchased the Physicians Formula Concealer RX in Natural Light. I purchased this after hearing really good things about it. It's suppose to have really great coverage and also be very creamy. It's similar to the Hard Candy glamaflage concealer. I wanted to try this because sometimes I just like to use concealer to cover up spots/redness on my face instead of a foundation. I think right now, it's a little to light for me to use it for that. Will keep you guys updated on this.  This retails for $7.99 at Ulta but can be found at other drugstores.

 

I also bought my first Deborah Lippmann Nail polish!!! I got the color Mermaid's Dream. I thought I would love this color, but once I got it home and swatched it on my hand I'm unsure. It was really sheer so I would have to wear it over another color. At this time, I'm not sure if I am going to keep it. I'll keep you posted. These nail polishes retail for $18 and here is a better picture of the color.

 

I got another nail polish!! This time it was the Sally Hansen Extreme wear nail polish in Grey Area. I saw a picture of this color on Pinterest and really liked it. In person it looks pretty purply grey color. i think I'm really going to like it. Will do another blog post once I paint my nails with it. These nail polishes are great though. They retail for $2.59 and can be found at Ulta or other drug stores.

 

One of the last things I bought was the OPI Expert Touch Lacquer Nail polish remover. I bought this from a recommendation from my friend Alyssa since I ran into her when I was shopping there that day! I'll give it a whirl and will update you after I use. This couldn't be found on their website but it was $5.95. I found it here on Amazon if your interested in seeing it.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!!

 

Thank you so much for reading!

Urban Decay Haul!!!

Hey All -

Recently Urban Decay had 20% off their website for a Friends & Family sale and I decided to take advantage of it!! Next time, I will for sure tell you guys about any makeup deals I come across.

 

The first thing I purchased was the Naked Skin foundation. I bought mine in shade 2.0, which I'm still unsure if it's my color or not. I haven't tried it or not. I did put a little on my hand after I took this picture and it felt really nice and light and might actually work for my skin tone. This product retails for $38 and can be purchased at Urban Decay,  Sephora or Ulta.

 

 

The second thing I purchased was Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush. I decided to purchase this brush to go with the foundation after reading several reviews on Urban Decay's & Sephora's websites saying this was the best way to apply the foundation. The brush is really soft and pretty dense, which I think will make it great for applying this foundation. This brush is sold for $24 at Urban Decay, Sephora, Ulta.

 

 

The third and most exciting purchase I got from the sale was the Smoked palette. I've been seeing multiple reviews on this on youtube since it came out a few months ago and it made me want it. The colors are amazing. Urban Decay has some of the best eyeshadows you can buy. The shadows in this palette are all so creamy and pigmented. The palette also comes with a full size 24/7 eyeliner in Perversion, which is black and a travel size of the primer potion. It also comes with a 27 page book that shows you multiple looks you can do with the palette, which can be helpful if your not sure where to start. This palette is $49 and can be found at Urban Decay, Sephora, or Ulta.

 

 

 

Swatches (bare hand, no primer underneath)

   Perversion eyeliner,  Kinky, Freestyle, Mushroom, Backdoor, Blackout

 

                                                                                       Barlust, Rockstar, Evidence, Loaded, Asphalt

Let me know if you have any questions!! I'll be doing some posts of looks I come up with, with this palette.

Thanks so much!!! :)

 

 

Sephora Suggestions

Sephora Friends & Family is starting this week which means 20% off everything... at Sephora... Yes please!!! :) This place is like heaven for me!!

I thought I would give you guys some suggestions on products I would recommend trying.

 

The first thing I recommend getting is an eyeshadow primer. This my favorite eyeshadow primer by far. I plan on having a battle of the primers on here shortly. But I think this works great if you have oily eyelids and will make your eyeshadow stay all day. This does come in a couple of different types but I've only used the original type, which is pictured below. This retails for $18. Click here to go to read reviews on Sephora's website

 

Another product I would recommend is the Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer pencil. I bought this a couple of months ago and I love it! It's a great concealer. It definitely lasts all day long on your skin. I've only used it for blemishes/redness cover up and not under my eyes. But it's a really creamy nice formula. I have it in the color DEA which is the the 2nd lightest shade and says it's ivory beige for light to medium complexions. The only downside to this product is that you have to sharpen it. This retails for $18 as well and can be found here.

 

Another recommendation would be the Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. This stuff is AMAZING!!! I bought this last year after a friend recommended it to me. This stuff does work. It will make your makeup stay on all day long. This stuff is great in the summer when it's blazing hot out and your sweating your butt off. I normally only use this on days when I have plans after work or to special events. But I know some people use it on a every day basis, which is fine as well. There are 2 other formulas it comes in: De-Slick Oil Control setting spray (for Oily skin people) or a Dew Me Moisturizing setting spray (for dry skin people). I have only used the All nighter kind, I recently purchased the De-Slick from a different website and will be trying it out. A bottle of this will last you a long time. This retails for $29 for 4 oz. Click the name to go to product: All-Nighter, De-Slick, Dew-Me

 

 

 

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes is something else I would recommend. I already talked about this these blushes on my last post here. The kit I talked about last week is something I would recommend getting. That kit can be found here here. The full size blushes I own are Blissful, Dollface, Exposed, Peaceful. Out of the 4 I own I would say to get Exposed. This is a nude blush that would go with any eye look you are going for. Retail for these are $25. Click here to view the full color range of blushes.

 

 

An eyeshadow palette I would recommend getting would be the Stila In the Light palette. this palette comes with 10 eye shadows and an eyeliner. I bought this palette at NY Imats in April and let you me tell you it's gotten a lot of love since then. I love that it comes from a matte cream shade that's great as a highlight and a matte dark brown for putting in your crease. My favorite color of all out of this palette is Kitten, which is one of Stila's best selling eyeshadow colors. Kitten is the top row, 2nd one in from the left. The colors are great for a natural look and the night sky (grayish color) and black can add a lot to look. It comes with the smudge stick waterproof eye liner in Damsel, which is also great. Damsel is a really dark brown color and looks great with any look I have done with this palette so far. It also lasts a long time. Retail for the palette is $39 and can be found here. The eyeliner alone retails for $20 so this palette is quite the deal. I can do a more in depth review of this palette with swatches/looks if you are interested. Please let me know!

 

I hope this helps you guys if you are interested in purchasing anything from the Sephora Friends & Family sale. The sale is starting this week Thursday the 18th. I will be sure to post on here as well as my Facebook and Twitter accounts the code when I get it.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!! Happy shopping!

 

Thanks so much!! :)

 

Here are 2 Youtube video's of girls I love and their recommendations as well. Thanks for the idea ladies!!  Michele1218 and Kristingehm

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush Set

Today's post is about the 4 piece Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour blush set. I purchased this from set from Sephora a couple of weeks ago. These blushes are amazing. I already own a bunch of Amazonian Clay blushes from Tarte and I love them. So when I saw this limited edition set of 4, new colors I knew I had to have it.

 

The 4 colors you get are: Angelic which is a shimmering champagne color; Fantastic which is a soft fuchsia, Magic which is a pink coral, Stellar a shimmering nude color.

 

 

 

Swatches below: Fantastic, Stellar, Magic, Angelic

 

 

Fantastic and Magic are both matte finishes and Angelic and Stellar have shimmer in them. Angelic is definitely more of a highlighter rather than a blush. I wouldn't put that all over my cheeks but would be amazing as a highlighter on  your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, cupid's bow. Stellar is going to be a great neutral shade that would go with any look. I did have to build up the color a bit, which is fine, it's just not the most pigmented blush I have from them. I took the picture in the natural light hoping it would help you get the idea of what the colors really look like.

 

You get 4 blushes with 3.03 grams/0.1 oz of product for $35. A full size one of these blushes is $25 and you get 5.6 grams/0.2 oz of product. I think this is a great deal and gives you a variety of shades to try for a great price.

These blushes from Tarte are some of the best blushes I've ever used. They really do last a long time on your skin and they come in a wide variety of colors that I love and used often. I really do think they are worth the money.

 

Click here to go to Sephora's website.  Unfortunately they are all sold out online, but hopefully you can find it at a store closest to you!  Otherwise it can be found here on Tarte's website.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!

 

 P.S. If you are interested in seeing all the other Tarte blushes I own just let me know and I will do another blog post on it.

Thank you!! :)

 

 

 

 

 

September 2012 Glossy Box USA

Hey all -

Here we go with my first post! This is going to be about what I received in my September Glossybox. I signed up for Glossybox when it first came to the US, which I think was about 5 months ago. This is by far the best beauty supscription service I've ever gotten. The box is $21 a month and you will get 5 deluxe size samples. So, let's jump into the box!!!

First thing I received was the OC8 Professional Mattifying Gel. The description of the product on the card that you recieve in the box says: This innovative mattifying gel lets you get control of your shine all day long. Clinically teested, this one of a kind gel keeps shine down while helping you achieve a fresh flawless even tone fook, for all skin types. Price of full size $30/1.6 oz. As you can see the product is full size! I haven't used the product yet, but once I do I can let you know how it works.

 

The second item I received is the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42. The card says: Hailing from Korea, this Blemish Balm, also known as BB Cream is multi-tasking powerhouse for the face. This multi-use cream provides light coverage, soothes, protects, and moisterizes. Price of full size $29.99/1.69 oz. I received the color N. 21 (Light Beige) and I think it's going to work great with my skin tone. Also, as you can see this is a full size product. I also have not tried this product yet and can give a full review later.

 

 

If you would like to find out more about BB creams and what they are, etc and see opinions on other BB creams that I own and have tried. Please let me know, I'd be more than happy to review.

 

The next 2 items I received was these travel size shampoo and conditioner from GKHair. The shampoo says: Nourished with plant extracts, this superior smoothing shampoo will purify and moisturize the scalp and hair. The conditioner says: This gentle moisturizing conditioner puts the finishing touch on the tresses and leaves your hair smooth, radiant and revitalized. Price of full size items is $20/10.1 oz. These are 2 great travel size items. I have yet to try them out, I just put them in my shower so I can try this week.

 

The last item we received was the Kryolan for Glossybox Moisture Rich Lipstick in Glossy Pink. The card says: Treat your lips to a creamy, long lasting lipstick enriched with Vitamin E to stimulate and hydrate your lips. This perfect pop of Glossy pink compliments all skin tones and lifestyles. Price of full size $14/0.14 oz. This is also a full size product. I think the color is nice, and after I tried to get that swatch off my hand, it took alot. I haven't worn it on my lips yet, but I'll have to give it a whirl.

 

 

This was probably one of the best boxes I got so far. I'm most excited to try the BB cream because I have heard so many good things about this kind. Here is the link to the website where you can sign up for Glossybox:  http://www.glossybox.com/

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

 

Hope you enjoyed! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Re-designed and ready to do it again!!

Hey All -

Here I am again with my blog!! I updated it, renamed it and gave it a new look! This blog is going to be my new makeup, beauty, fashion blog!!! I'll be starting out by doing about 1/2 posts a week. Right now I plan on doing product reviews and hauls (showing products I recently purchased).

I would love for you all to give me input on it and let me know if there are anything you would like to see. Do you have a product your dying to try or find out about?  Let me know, I can possibly do a review for you on it.  Do you want to see some type of makeup tutorials, outfits of the day/night, makeup of the day/night, skincare routine, workout routine. I would love to get some feedback on this.

Thank you so much!

February My Glam Bag

I just got my first My Glam bag!! My Glam bag is a monthly subscription service, where you pay $10 a month to receive 4-5 full size or deluxe sized samples of beauty products. You can read about it here: http://www.myglam.com/. They are a new company, and heard some good things about them so decided to give them a go. The first bag I should have received was January, but they had multiple issues with shipping some of the bags, so I never got mine. They refunded my money, no problem.

This is what I got:

My bag came in a bright pink envelope (so cute), the Heart bag is what everything came in.

From Left to Right here are the items I got:

Premier Dead Sea Cinderalla Mask (in little bag), Urban Decay Full size eyeshadow in Sin, X Out Shine Control moisturizer, NYX Roll on Shimmer in Mauve Pink, Freeman Fascial Mask, 2 Ghirardelli Chocolates (in the little box) and then a $100 gift certificate at NuMeStyle.com (unsure about this).

Overall, there isn't anything I'm overly excited about in this bag. I already have the color of the Urban Decay eyeshadow in my Naked Pallete, but it is full size and worth more than the $10 price tag I paid for the bag. I'll probably give this another month or 2 and then decide if I'm going to continue or not!

Let me know if you have heard of or tried any of the products I mentioned.

Thanks for reading!! :)

Makeup Fails!!!! :(

So, this post is going to be about 2 products that I found out today that I dislike very much!!! 

Monday's are not the best day's to have bad makeup days!! I liked the look I put together today with a wet & wild eyeshadow pallet and some black liquid eyeliner. I bought this at Ulta a few weeks ago based on the recommondation of a youtuber that I watch all the time, but it did NOT work for me. The product I'm talking about is the Loreal Lineur Intense liquid eyeliner. This was only the 2nd time I was using the product but about 2 hours after I put it on, it started flaking off!! YES, my eyeliner was flaking off - WTF- not the most attractive look I've had! The first time I used it I had the same problem with the flaking, it just wasn't as bad as it was today. This product is aweful, not only is the forumula horrible so is the brush that it comes with. I've gotten used to having a liquid liner that has a felt tip, but this had a brush tip. I know this is a personal preferance, but I didn't like it.

Soooo, this issue brings me to another product fail. While I was trying to fix my eyemakeup over lunch, I decided to bust out these Bare Escentuals on the spot eye makeup remover q-tip things. Well, I've had these for a while but never really had to use them. Well perfect time, right... yeah FAIL!! Your suppose to snap one end of the q-tip to let the liquid drain into the other end. Wellllll, that never happened!  The liquid wanted to go to the side of the q-tip that I had just snapped.

So neeless today, I hope no one judged me after 1pm today based on my eyemakep because it was a HOT MESS!!! :)

I just wanted to let fellow makeup lovers out there know of these 2 products that were complete FAILS for me!

January Week 5 Pictures

So, I'm a little late on these pictures, but I'm still following through with my goal of a picture a day!!! :) This week also starts the Feb Photo a day challenge that my friend Sarah are doing for Feb. Her blog is here. I saw the idea on pintrest first but this is the blog that started it all.

January 30th 2012

This was my dinner tonight. A salad, something that I probably eat at least once a week. It's always great to eat something healthy after a good work out!

January 31st 2012

Gym day - I go to my local school gym once a week now that it's super cold out and snowy and I use the elliptical. I usually do 10 miles and I've been averaging about 45 min now, hoping to improve my time before I start running outside again.

So, before I start Feb photos, here is the list of what I'm following for my daily pictures. Found on this blog here.



February 1st 2012

My view today - This is my desk at work, took this right before I left for the night! Ohhh so many papers!

February 2nd 2012

Words - no explanation I think needed.



February 3rd 2012

Hands - my hands around a delicious ice cream cone from Kopps Frozen Custard.  Grasshopper fudge was the flavor, soooo good!! :) I want some as I type this right now! YUMMM!

February 4th 2012

A stranger - well this is the table next to us at dinner! I went out to dinner with my parents to The Blew Inn, they have great Chinese food. I almost forgot to get today's picture, but at the last minute remembered.

February 5th 2012

10am - Well, I was still sleeping at 10am and didn't look what my picture was suppose to be of until like 3pm so I kinda missed the boat on that one. But my brother and his girlfriend came over with my niece and nephew. My niece made me this picture and gave me the cute little owl valentines!! Awwww soooo sweet!! I love her so much! :)

This wraps up my end of January, beginning of February.

Hope you enjoyed! :)

Thanks for reading!



January Week 4 Pictures

January week 4 brought me.....

January 23nd 2012

Sample from Lush I got a few weeks back that I finally used! Man, this stuff made my face super super soft. I was really impressed with it again. I should be able to get a couple more uses out of it before I decide if I wanna buy the full size product. But first impressions, were good!

January 24rd 2012

Kombucha Tea that I drank today! I found these at my local grocery store, in the Organic section. This tea is suppose to be really good for you, all natural. It does give you energy, which is great for the evening work outs. I only drank half of it today and saved the other half for the next day. Let me tell you the taste isn't great by any means and it's scary with all of the living things floating in it. But if it's good for me, I'm willing to give it a try.

Happy Birthday Dad!!! :) I went out to dinner w/ my friends Erica and Christine tonight, so didn't actually see my dad because my the time I got home he was already in bed. I did bring him this treat though, it's the Snickers cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory. He did enjoy it a few days later! :) Also, Happy Birthday to my friend Sarah!!! Hopefully both of them enjoyed there birthday!

Nail polish haul! Zoya polish in Noel, Zoya polish in Edyta, and OPI Nicki Minaj in Fly. I got the 2 Zoya nail polishes in the mail. I placed an order on their website when they were having a promotion. They retail for about $8 in stores, but I paid $6.95 which is the shipping for both bottle, what a steal!! The OPI color I bought at Ulta on Thursday night with a 20% off coupon I had. I LOVE all of these colors.

Painted my nails with the Zoya nail polish in Noel. I'm loving the color!! Will see how these polishes wear after using No Chip Skip from OPI along w/ OPI top coat and base coat. It's now Sunday and they are still looking good.

Another cheesecake pic! This is also Snickers cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. I went out to dinner with my friend Alyssa and she wanted to go there, I couldn't say no! They have such good food and desert. As you can see from the picture, I had already taken a bite, delicious!!

Stopped at Target late last night and got these items. I'm in love with 2 of the songs on the CD so I thought I would just buy the whole thing and give it a whirl. My lips were really bothering me last night and even today so I picked up the Nivea chapstick in Milk & Honey and the Blistix Complete Moisture chapstick. I like both of them so far!

** This wraps up January week 3 for me.... onto the next!!
