Recently Purchased Product Haul / Review ♥

HI LOVELYS❤ I just recently bought a few nail polishes and hair products(sadly no lipsticks..ha) from Walmart and Big Lots.  I ran out of  this Dove hair spray that I had loved and needed to pick up a new one. I couldn't find the old one but I got one that seemed pretty close to it. I liked it because it wasn't the can kind of spray because when I curl my hair I like a light mist instead of that super gross sticky feeling that the can of hair spray gives. That's my feelings on it anyways.  The old one I had was perfect, it made my curls stay and didn't make them turn 'crunchy'. ha ha It also smelled amazing, almost how fresh laundry smells out of a dryer.  The  new hair spray I just purchased is called Style + Care Extra Hold with nutri-style complex.  It says all day hold and enhanced luminosity.  So far I love the smell and it holds my curls nicely while leaving my hair shiny.  


I also purchased Organix extra strength moroccan argan oil penetrating oil for dry & course hair.  The minute I tried this, I fell in love with the smell.  It made my hair shiny, soft, and protects it from heat while blow drying.  It was $6 something at Walmart, which isn't that bad. It is a small bottle only 3.3 oz but a little goes a long way since it's an oil.  I want to try the shampoo and conditioner next.  I really like the Organix hair products.


Then I got a few nail polishes. I love when I find Revlon at Big lots because you get two for $2.00. I got a green shade called 'Super Nature' and pastel pink shade called 'Luxe Laque' from Revlon's top speed line. I haven't used the green yet but the pink shade is really nice and dries fast.  


So I have a problem when it comes to being patient and waiting for my nails to try. Seems like I will paint my nails and then somehow mess them up...it never fails. My boyfriend jokes around with me about it because he noticed how much I paint my nails.  So I was at Walmart and saw this speed dry top coat by Nutra Nail for only 3 bucks and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did because it really makes a difference.  The price is cheap and it dried my nails in less than 5 minutes. Worked a million times better than these fast drying drops I've bought in the past that cost around $8.  I also got 'stunning' from Revlon. It's a nice clear sparkly shade.  Very pretty if you like glitter polish.

What are some of your favorite nail polishes or hair products right now?

Nails Of The Day ❤

Today I took advantage of the sunshine again, tanned, studied, enjoyed a smoothie & painted my nails. I decided to go with a gold nail polish by Revlon.  I've become addicted to Revlon nail polishes and was excited to see them in my local Big Lots for only $2.00 for a packaage of 2.  This color is called "catty".  I love how it reminds me of Summer.  Is it Summer yet? The bronze shade is really pretty.

Springtime Sunshine & Bright Colors

It's April and the sun has been rather friendly the past couple of days.  Friendly enough that I was able to work on my tan and relax with my cute little Abbigail.  Here we're showing off our matching coral nails ;)



I've been obsessed with bright colored fashion.  Pastels for Spring are nice, but bright is better.

Blue Skinny - Royal Blue Skinny Colored Jeans



& I'm loving tangerine/coral colored lipsticks!  One of my favorites at the moment is by Rimmel London from the Kate Moss collection #12.  I love these lipsticks.  I got it at Walgreens on sale for around $3.00. The color payoff is really nice and they are very good quality for only costing $3.00.  I love the packaging too, it's very sleek. For being a drugstore lipstick, it's pretty amazing.

Nails Of The Day ❤




I stopped at Walgreens to check out the nail polish and ended up coming home with this pretty baby.  It's one of my favorite brands, Sinful colors in "Savage". They are inexpensive usually at 1.99 or on sale for 99cents, are decent quality and are free of all those bad chemicals found in some polishes. Not that it matters really, but I read an article somewhere that the color guys notice most on a girl's nails is blue. I'm in love with this color, it's perfect for spring/summer time.  I also picked up a cute shirt in a similar bright blue shade.  This color polish drys matte so if you want shine, apply a topcoat.

March Wish List



For my first blog post I wanted to put a few things I've been looking at this month and wanting.  Not really specific things, just things I've came across and wished I could have.  Spring is here and I love this time of year for the bright colors, rainy days followed by beautiful sunshine & flowers everywhere. I'm especially loving bright colored tops and fun colored makeup. ♥
