Nails Nails

This is how I store all my nails. Yep, in a plastic drawer..
I did plan to order a nail rack but I have decide that it
would have took up so much room so I'll just store it this
way and save a little more money.
this photo was suppose to be in my nail haul but forgot
so I had to put it in this one. This is how my free kit looked
like..It looks more awesome then it was package for. I can't
wait to try these out!



pink: my #1 favorite color for my nails


purple: my second favorite color excluding the black
but black had to be in this category since I own only one
black




green for netural...when I want
to feel natural then I go for green..
I know it sounds weird and odd





orange: was my favorite color
of 2009 I have to say



nail care: base coat, top coat,
shiny coat, strengthing coat,
growing polish and of course
my nail mask**my favorite!


All my french polishes




the three LA COLOR
art deco nail art polishes
that I own




blues for when I'm
feeling blue and down






my only yellow and it's
a creme which is a must!




Red which are my least favorite
color to put on but yet a girl gotta
own some red!

Trans Design

So I have finally manage to make up my mind and got me some
good stuff off their sites. For those who don't know transdesign
is a site that has almost anything on it. They have skin care, makeup,
nail polishes and nail care, and many many more goodies on it. Their
site is transdesign.com for those who are interested. They sell nail polishes
for half the price that are sold at retail store. At first, I wasn't really interested
in this site, I was like blah...but when I saw the different brands they had beside
OPI, ORLY and CHINA GLAZE and the prices on it I was stolen away! FYI china
glaze and orly are made from the same company as OPI that's why the consistency
of the polishes are similiar and good in quality. Here's what I got.....



Amour polishes: aqua pastel, yellow pastel, green jets, beach's, sticky base coat,
central park green, station polish in sweet taro, new york polishes in hot green and
amaranth and kolor ring polish in central park green


here's what I got for free..an acrylic kit from ez glow.
They usually give out a free item when you order from
the site but you have to be the one to add it to your cart.

I got the mini tiki kit from orly and some mini orly polishes.
top row:teeny bikini, calypso breezy, sol cabana, mint mojito
bottom row:blue collar, ruby, hype


OPI
top row: merry x-mas holiday special top coat and natural nail base coat, we'll always have paris,
over the taupe, done out in deco
bottom row: mini opi nail envy nail strengthener, chip skip, a grape fit, short story,on
the same paige!, rapid dry top coat



china glaze
Got the whole mini immaterial gurl 6 pack with a free eyelash




Here's a closer look at the colors of china glaze
turned up turquiose(neon), shocking pink (neon),
watermelon rind, heirloom organza, vintage crepe,
atelier tulle, second-hand silk, designer satin,mom's chiffon






here's a more closer look at the colors

So you're probably wondering why I got some polishes in the mini size? Well, I figure I have a lot of polishes and I'm going to get a lot more in the mail so why not get the mini size instead of the full size. Besides I know I won't used it all up or hardly get through any of it so that's why I decided to get the mini size. These mini size are so much cuter and adorable then the full size one. They are so cute when you compare the two and they are very travel friendly. It'll fit right in your bags and they are on the go friendly!
So why did I get the other unknown name brands polishes? First, because they were cheap and second, because I wanted to try a different range of brands. I have never heard of these brands before but I thought I would give it a try and see how their polishes are.
I got the orly tiki set because I just love all the colors. They are so unique and different I knew in instant that it was going to be on my list to have. Not are all the colors noticeable(hint hint) but they are also creme. Yes, this whole set is creme! The other three orly polishes are also creme but are not in this set I had to purchase them seperately.
When I first saw the swatches of we'll always have paris I knew that it was love at first sight. This polish is probably the one out of all the one that I got that I was most excited for but when it arrived I was disappointed. I love the name of this polish..don't know why but when I say it it draws the love inside of you in...get it?? Yes, I basically got it because the name draws me in and when you say it...it's so romantic!heheh...I got the taupe one because I wanted a tuapy color and I got the light purple because I wanted a matte creme light/liliac purple. I got the two mini nail care becuase I wanted to try it out. If it goes well then I might just order the big size. I got this set out of all the set from OPI because the colors are so bright that it just draws attention to you....that's what I want attention to my nails so that's basically why I got it. I also love the packaging of this set I couldn't find myself throwing aways this box becuase it's so unique. why unique? Do you see the colors of those jeans and shorts? In reality we would think that colors like that for jeans and shorts are way too bright but in this box it's so perfect. It has a lot of attention to it! See for yourself!
I got the china glaze set becuase all the colors were the one I originally wanted but they somehow had it as a set so I got it. The size of these mini one are much bigger then the OPI or Orly ones so it should last me a long time. One other reason why I got it because they were all creme and I love every single color from this collection! Plus I got me a freebie...a 101 ardell lash..I think I have this lash but not sure since I have lots of them. Well this is it hope that ya enjoy this haul as much as I did. I did regret not taking a photo of it when I first open the box up because it was amazing...






8ty8 beauty store

Ahhhh!!! I just got an email confirmation that my items has just been shipped. Just been shipped? I've order it like last week or it has been a week and how many days now almost two weeks and they've just email me a confirmation email. I'm kind of piss off and angry at the same time! I have been waiting and waiting for my order and shipping confirmation but no luck at all. So I thought that my order got lost with processing because I did have a little bit of internet problem. Then all of a sudden, today they've decided to send it. Ahh! I'm piss that I just now recieved my confirmation and just now know that my order did go through. Second, their shipping charges are so high even if you bought very little items like I did! Imagine if I would have bought tons of items like I did on a different site. They didn't tell me an exact quote of how much they were charging for shipping but they did say it was going to be $6 so I was like okay, that's why I sumitted my order but then just now found out they charge me $11 bucks for shipping and I got very few stuff. That is outrageous and stupid. Especially when their shipping is slow, shipping charges are ridiculous, and ordering status isn't stable. Have any one have this problem before with 8ty8 beauty store? Tell me about your experience with this store. I was inspire long long time ago by miss aubrey but I was waiting to get to my new place(which I am at now) before ordering but I was inpatience inside all the time and now that I did order items off their site I feel disappointment. She was talking about how fast their shipping was and how reasonable their shipping charges was but to me I would have to disagree from my experience. Maybe I'll have better luck next time when I order from them....if I do....

MAC SALE

Hey, guys I know this is a little too late but better then nothing. MAC is having a sale! They're giving 25% off everything on the site so help your self to some goodies because I have been with MAC for a while now and they don't usually give out this kind of sale. So help yourself because it usually happens once or twice a year! code is: early25

Today's Look~studio scuplt

OMG! I gave the studio scuplt foundation another try and boy, was I happy happie! I'm so glad I gave it another chance because my skin looked flawless and so nice. Yes, it was super nice and awesome. It gave me so much coverage, so much more then studio fix fluid. Yes, I said it it's better then studio fix! With one application of this foundation it gave me a FULL coverage. Somehow I just love my look for today. It was very neutral and natural...hahaha.. To be honest, when it first came out and I heard about it I knew that I was going to love this foundation. I knew that I was going to love it not just because it's from MAC but because people were raving that it's a gel base formula and if studio fix fluid was a little too dark for you even though it was your shade, studio scuplt would be the perfect shade for your skin tone when you get it in your regular shade. Somehow when I saw it in it's tube I knew that I was going to love it and it was going to be my next favorite thing from MAC. So why have I waited so long to get it? Well, first it's $28 bucks for it and second, I still have studio fix fluid, studio stick and full coverage foundation so I decided to skip out. But I knew it that no matter WHAT I will eventually pick it up because I just knew that it was love at first site. Each time when I'm on the site or at the counter I kept hearing it calling my name. Hahaha...but seriously I do hear it calling my name. I knew it when they first release it that I was going to get the foundation and concealer and I knew that it was going to be my favorite foundation of all time. The first time I tried this foundation on from the sample that I got, my skin just didn't look healthy at all so I decided to wait out on it. I'm not sure if it was my skin, my brush not being washing for a couple of days or just the foundation itself. But on Sunday, I got the BIG news about MAC's sale and I went major manic crazy and yep, I went on a shopping spree like no other! In conclusion, I got both the foundation and concealer so I will wait till it arrive and spread the news and love about it. P.S. photos of today's look will be post later. I have decided that I will post a blog about how each foundation looks like..it will give you an idea on which one to go for. If you have this foundation or have tried it tell me what you think of it.

Chi and Clinique

I went strolling at the mall for no particular item. But did end up getting
some good stuff or should I saw awesome items!
I gotthis whole set and in it it has the makeup remover, dramatically moisturizing lotion,
clarifying lotion, an eye cream to reduce puffiness, dark circle and lines, a moisturizer with
spf of I don't know, and a cleanser but can't remember which one.

I also got this chi silk infusion. If I haven't told ya yet I love love
this product. It makes such a big difference on your hair this is one
product that really makes your hair shine! I have the 2 oz one which
I haven't open yet but I bought it last december because I heard so much
about it but don't know why I waited so long to use it or open it up. I went to
wisconsin and my sister was using her 2 oz one they we both bought at the same
and I kept using hers and for some odd reason before styling my hair I would reach
out for this product. That was when I discover how good and awesome this product
really is. So from now on I'm going to start using my silk infusion before styling my hair.
I got this at an awesome deal so I would look around town and see if this thing is on sale
or if you can find it an awesome discount store like I did!


Nail Mask

FYI this looks weird I know but just this
one time only I promised. This is how my
nails looks like before applying the nail mask.

Have any one heard of a nail mask before? I haven't and I was so surprise when I purchase it.

I had no idea that there was a such thing for nail. I know there is for the face but not the nails. Oh, well it was interesting and amazing at the same time. Now that I know such thing exist I'm glad that it does. So basically review on it is that this product is good stuff. The brand is deborah which I have never heard of but I got it at Walmart at their clearance aisle. I don't see it at my local walmart so I'm thinking some might still carry it at their clearance aisle but I have never heard nor seen her products at walmart or any where from target to walgreen before. But she do have a website which I can't remember now. This product really works as good as if you were to put a mask on your face. You'll get the same result except that it's on your nails. After putting this on for one whole night I could see the difference in my nails. My nails were damage after the January artificial nails that I had put on and it is still in bad shape til this day. But 3 days ago I tried this mask on and viola it was stronger, brighter and new! I saw a big big difference in my nails. This thing really works as if you were to put a mask on your face. My overall impression and review on this product is that yes, I would buy it again, it was cheap or if it was ten dollars or more I would still have bought it, packaging was perfect and convience and product works as is said to do. I bought this product not knowing it was $1 but in my opinion it's worth more than one bucks! You're suppose to apply this on to nails and leave it in for a minium of 4 hours or leave it over night and peel it off in the morning. The only down side to this product is that it's annoying to peel the mask off. At times, it makes you want to tear your fingers off. It takes time and patience to peel these things off so if you're inpatience then I suggest you'll have a hard time with any nail mask. But overall, I love and I do enjoy using this product it was a great investment that I made..hehehe....





this is how it's package






I forgot to take a before picture but this
one is the after picture of after I had apply
the nail mask to my nails.


This is when I had to remove the mask the next morning before
applying any nail polish or leaving my nails clean. You always
have to remove because it is not safe if it gets into your food. Just
like a face mask you don't leave it on for weeks.



Here is a closer look at the mask while
I'm trying to peel it off. It might gross some
of ya out but just thought I shared it with ya.
Note: I took all of them out except for my pinky
finger so look at pinky.




This is how my nails looked like after removing the
mask and washing my hands. See how shiny and healthy
my nails looked like.??
